Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"Yes, yes, yes, he choked." The other demons echoed.

"Alas, it's a pity that my status is too lowly, unlike the noble status of the young masters. I can't taste the delicacies made by the Second Miss herself. It's a great regret for me." Lu Yan shook his head and sighed.

"Brother Lu, don't be disappointed. Come to my place and eat whatever you like." Upon hearing this, Ning Zhan quickly invited Lu Yan to join him.

Unfortunately, the other demons were outmaneuvered by the Ferocious Warrior.

"That's not a good idea. After all, this is a delicacy prepared by the Second Miss for all the young masters. It would be presumptuous for me to eat it." Lu Yan looked troubled.

"No, no, Brother Lu, we hit it off immediately. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. It's no big deal," Ning Zhan quickly defended Lu Yan.

"Since the young master has said so, then I will try it. Don't worry, I will only taste a little."

"Eat freely, don't be shy, it's fine if you finish it all." Ning Zhan's face was very generous, which made the other demons curse him as shameless.

"Mmm~ As expected of the Second Miss's handmade product, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, absolutely delicious." Lu Yan looked very satisfied after tasting it.

"????"

The demons were incredulous. "It tastes like shit, and you're praising it against your conscience? Have you no shame?"

However, seeing that Lu Yan didn't seem to be faking it, they all wondered if it was their own problem.

The Shadow Demon Fu Yu tasted a bit of the meat that Lu Yan had eaten and found that it still tasted like shit. He immediately admired Lu Yan immensely.

Maybe this is true love. Damn, I can't believe he did it.

"Everyone, eat up! The Second Miss is watching us; we can't waste her kindness." Seeing that the demons had stopped again and were reluctant to eat, Lu Yan warmly urged them on.

"Okay, okay~" The demons dawdled and ate a few more bites, feeling a sense of utter desolation in their demonic lives.

After finally finishing the meat on his plate, Lu Yan ladled out the soup from the pot and gave each of the demons a bowl.

"Please don't be shy, everyone. The soup that Miss Er made herself is incredibly delicious," Lu Yan said warmly.

"Uh...okay..." The barbecue tastes like poop, but this soup is at least normal, since it contains some common ingredients.

But their hopes were dashed once again.

If I hadn't seen Lu Yan scoop it out of the pot with my own eyes, I would have thought it came from the outhouse.

One bite and the demon's soul will vanish; it's more poisonous than poison itself.

After drinking it, the demons experienced ecstasy and began to doubt their own existence.

I wonder how many sins they committed to deserve this.

Simply.

It takes a talent to make normal food taste like this.

The same applies to fierce battles.

After taking a bite, I felt like I was soaking in an ocean of feces, and my health bar instantly dropped to zero.

Looking up, I saw a familiar figure waving at me, and before I knew it, two streams of tears were flowing down my face.

"Ningzhan, why are you crying?" Jia'an asked from the side.

"It's nothing, I think I saw my great-grandmother waving at me."

Lu Yan: ...

Did I go too far? I'm even hallucinating from eating this.

"Second Miss, everyone, I suddenly remembered that there are urgent matters to attend to at the camp, which cannot be delayed. I must take my leave first." The first to be unable to bear it was Shadow Demon Fuyu, who said goodbye and left quickly.

I've never suffered like this in my life, what a terrible thing!

After Fu Yu left, the other young demon lords also realized what was happening and quickly took their leave.

They left completely in a short time.

Watching their departing figures, Lu Yan knew that they had suffered psychological trauma from the food, which would probably take a lifetime to heal.

"What method did you use? I felt like they were suffering terribly just now?" Yueye Niannian asked curiously after the demons left.

"Ahem~ I added something special to their wine, enough to make them never forget it. I guarantee they'll behave themselves for a few days and won't dare bother the Second Miss again."

"Hmm~ Lu Liu, you're very good." Yueye Niannian nodded with great satisfaction.

……

After Lu Yan returned, he heard some gossip from Yueye Tiantian.

They said that the young demon lords vomited repeatedly after returning home.

The scene was absolutely insane, especially the ferocious battle, where he even vomited blood.

The next day.

The demons were ready and poised to strike.

Lu Yan finally met the demon generals. Apart from the leader, who was Moon Night Demon, the others were ordinary demons.

There are Devouring Demons, Purple Scorpion Demons, and Rock Demons, all of whom are trusted servants of the Moonlit Demon Clan.

As soon as the Moonlit Demons made a move, the other demons followed suit.

With the Demon Commander leading the way, over ten thousand demons marched into the Three-Part Mountain in a grand procession.

Lu Yan also took an antidote pill and followed behind Yueye Tiantian and Yueye Niannian.

"Outsiders! Outsiders! Outsiders!"

The moment Lu Yan entered, he heard the demon god within his soul gradually awaken and call out to him.

"Why are you calling me?" Lu Yan communicated with him using his divine sense.

"I sense my original will here. Find it and devour it," the demon god instructed Lu Yan.

Origin of will?

That is also part of the demon god.

Putting aside whether he could find Him, even if he did, Lu Yan wouldn't dare to devour a part of a demon god.

If the operation fails, you are swallowed by that thing; if you succeed, the power of the demon god within your soul increases greatly, but you are still swallowed.

Both inside and outside, I will die.

Ignoring the demon god's call, Lu Yan continued to follow the group.

Because he was at the front of the group, Lu Yan was also fortunate enough to see the creatures inside the Three-Part Mountain.

Various poisonous insects, various snakes and scorpions, each of them is highly venomous.

If you get bitten and the poison isn't expelled in time, even a level 10 magic soldier will die from poisoning.

These are just the most common species; the further you go in, the more poisonous creatures you'll encounter.

Besides those on the ground, there are also many poisonous creatures in the sky.

Among them, the most powerful on the outer perimeter is the Purple Night Demon Bat. Individually, they are not particularly formidable, but their population is enormous.

You can easily encounter tens of thousands of them, and the total number is said to be over a million.

Not only do they feed on poisonous insects, but demons are also on their menu. Whenever they encounter one, they will call upon their companions to swarm to it.

This is why the demons dared not fly in the sky anymore.

Furthermore, Lu Yan discovered that the purple mist also had a strong resistance to divine sense.

Outside, Lu Yan's divine sense could probe about 170 feet, but here it could only probe 170 feet.

There's even less underground; you can only probe three or four inches.

This forced Lu Yan to become more cautious.

At this moment, Lu Yan understood why the Yueye family had sent so many demons; when divine sense was insufficient, they could only make up for it with sheer numbers.

To accommodate the weaker demon groups, they moved very slowly, but even so, many demons were still ambushed and killed by poisonous insects.

They had only traveled less than twenty li in the entire morning.

Everyone rested on the spot at noon.

"Second Miss, Boss, are you hungry?" Lu Yan asked the two female demons.
