Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"Hungry~"

I'm not hungry.

Every moonlit night I say I'm hungry, every moonlit night I say I'm not hungry.

"If you're not hungry, then forget it."

"Hey~ Second brother, are you deaf? I already said I'm hungry." Yueye Tiantian suddenly lost her temper.

"Cough cough~ Boss, you just ate so much this morning, eating more will make you indigestion. Wait until tonight to eat." Lu Yan pressed down on her stubborn little head.

A while later.

"Second Miss, Eldest Brother, are your buttocks—I mean, your backs—sore? I happen to know a massage technique that can relieve weakness and fatigue." Thank goodness, I almost blurted out the truth.

"acid."

"It's not sour."

Two answers, yet another unanimous response.

"It's not sour, then forget it." Lu Yan was a little disappointed.

"Hey! Lu Liu, you bastard, are you stuffing donkey hair in your ears? Everyone says my back aches, my back aches, come and massage it for me." The girl was angry again.

"Stop messing around, big brother. Kids don't have waists. Go play somewhere else." Lu Yan pushed the girl away.

"Lu Liu, I'll fight you to the death!" The enraged girl tackled Lu Yan to the ground.

After being beaten up by the girl, Lu Yan became much more obedient.

At the end of noon (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), the demons set off again.

"Devour! Devour! Devour Him!"

Lu Yan had only taken two steps when the voice of the demon god rang out in his soul again, and it was even more urgent than before.

Helpless, Lu Yan had no choice but to once again mobilize his divine soul power to suppress it.

……

In the afternoon, the demons began to act.

Those with lower strength knew that the Phantom Night Star Flower was beyond their reach, so they set their sights on things within their power.

For example, the miasma orchid, which is quite common in the Three-Part Mountain, can be used to refine elixirs and make fine wine, and is very popular.

The value of this flower varies depending on its age, size, and quality, ranging from a few low-grade magic stones to dozens of low-grade magic stones.

Purple Mist Blood Fruit is a common fruit that can be added to elixirs to enhance their quality.

The value ranges from a few low-grade magic stones to dozens of low-grade magic stones.

Back then, Yueye gave me a lot every day.

There is also the miasma scorpion. Despite its venomous name, this scorpion is a truly valuable food. Eating it can not only strengthen the body but also increase resistance to venom.

They're also very expensive outside, ranging from tens to hundreds of low-grade magic stones per item.

Of course, this thing is also very dangerous. Even a demon general would feel bad if stung by it, let alone a demon soldier, who would die on the spot.

Besides these three common items, the other magical plants, fruits, and poisonous insects are all worth a considerable amount of magic stones.

"According to intelligence, the Phantom Night Star Flower is located 150 miles south-southeast of here," Moon Night Tian Tian said to Moon Night Rou Zi, holding a map.

"At our current pace, it gets slower the further we go in, and it will take about three and a half days to get there. However, there are many dangers on the road, so we need to be careful," Yueye Rouzi reminded them.

"Of course, there are quite a few demons coming here. It will probably be a fierce competition, since the Illusionary Night Star Flower is related to the foundation of a demon general and can help them break through to the level of a demon commander."

"Don't be afraid, anyone who dares to provoke the Moonlit Demon Clan is courting death."

"I'm afraid of encountering other dangers. Ever since entering Sanfen Mountain, I've had a bad feeling. I hope it's just my imagination." Yueye Niannian shook her head, put away the map, and continued on her way.

At night, the group of demons found a place to set up camp.

When they entered the mountain, there were more than 10,000 demons, but now there are only 8,000 or 9,000 left, and even the weakest of them have the cultivation of an eighth-level demon soldier.

Those who didn't follow knew their cultivation level was too low, and that going any deeper would just be suicide, so they wisely continued to loot the outermost perimeter.

Inside Lu Yan's tent, Yueye Tiantian straddled Lu Yan and pinched his face.

"Lu Liu, you traitor! I've treated you so well, yet you betrayed me for personal gain! Today, I'll show you what I'm made of!" The girl was furious at Lu Yan's differential treatment during the day and came specifically to settle scores with him.

Girl, you used the wrong word. It should be "forget your friends for the sake of beauty".

Lu Yan didn't care and let the other party do whatever they wanted, then apologized in a very obsequious manner.

After venting his frustrations every night under the moonlight, he left.

"Devour! Devour! Devour Him!"

Meanwhile, within Lu Yan's soul, the demon god grew increasingly restless, calling out to Lu Yan more and more frequently. Even with all his efforts to suppress it, he was to no avail, causing Lu Yan considerable distress.

late at night.

In the core area of ​​the Three-Part Mountain, a giant purple tree suddenly began to tremble violently, emitting a magical wave that spread outwards from strong to weak.

Affected by the magical fluctuations, the sleeping creatures of Three-Part Mountain awoke one after another, and then began to become restless and run around aimlessly.

"What's going on? Why are all these poisonous insects crawling out of the ground?"

"I don't know. I've already dealt with quite a bit, how come there's still so much left?"

The demon camp was also affected, and countless demons were awakened and began to exterminate the poisonous insects.

The demons had no peace until dawn and could only continue their advance.

Strange things began to happen one after another. The venomous insects and beasts that were once gentle now attacked the creatures around them as if they had gone mad.

Needless to say, those with volatile and cold-blooded temperaments will attack anything, including their own companions.

The casualties in the team began to increase gradually, with demons dying at almost every step they took.

Moonlit Rouzi had no choice but to order the team to slow down and clear the area as they went.

"Ugh~ How disgusting~" Every night, Yueye crushed a poisonous bee, and the purple-green sap stuck to her hands.

She grabbed Lu Yan's clothes and wiped him vigorously.

Lu Yan: ...

Didn't you consider my feelings at all?

On this day, the group only traveled about thirty miles, far less efficient than on the first day, and they were also more exhausted than on the first day.

That night, Yueye Rouzi arranged for the demons to take turns keeping watch.

On the third day, the demons were even more cautious and careful when they set off, and the number of people following them decreased further.

Some stayed where they were, while others, fearing danger, returned.

Lu Yan, who had just set off, also encountered trouble.

Countless stinging green mosquitoes swarmed towards the Moonlit Demon Clan's army.

These stinging green mosquitoes are far more powerful and numerous than the Soul-Eating Bees that Lu Yan encountered before.

Once bitten, it leaves a seed of poison in the body. Although not as potent as that of snakes or scorpions, the poison will seep into the bloodstream, and antidotes are ineffective; it can only be removed slowly over a long period of time.

Fortunately, several demon generals were stationed there, protecting the Moonlit Demon Clan's team from all directions.

With a wave of their hands, thousands of stinging green mosquitoes die.

However, this small number is negligible to the overall mosquito swarm, as stinging green mosquitoes will quickly fill any gaps.

After resisting for about an hour, the corpses of the poisonous green mosquitoes had already submerged their ankles. Seeing that the number of mosquitoes had not decreased, the demons had no choice but to think of other methods.
