Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

He put some useful items into his storage ring, then removed the three warning talismans.

I took one last deep look at the courtyard where I had lived for more than two years, feeling quite reluctant to leave. I was already very familiar with every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and tile here, but now I had to leave.

A moment later, Lu Yan resolutely turned his head. He had a long road ahead of him and couldn't afford to be too sentimental.

In the dead of night, Lu Yan could only go to Bao City first, change his clothes, put on the anti-psychic mask, and stay in Bao City until dawn.

After changing his clothes, Lu Yan went to the courtyard manager in Zhongcheng and chose a slightly secluded courtyard.

No. 69, Hongyu Lane, West of Midtown. This is my own address; it's no longer just a numbered street, but a lane with a name.

Everything is fine except the rent is a bit expensive, costing five spirit stones per month, and maintaining the formation also requires one spirit stone per month.

After paying the spirit stones, Lu Yan received six tokens, one mother and five children. Only those with the tokens could enter the courtyard.

The courtyard is decent, a bit bigger and more upscale than the one I stayed in before, with an extra bedroom.

Following the instructions, Lu Yan embedded a spirit stone into the pillar in the middle of the courtyard; this was the array's core.

As the spirit stone exerted its power, a very simple warning array was formed. A yellow light curtain enveloped the courtyard, which not only provided sound insulation but also prevented outsiders from observing or using their divine sense to spy on them.

Its defensive capabilities are somewhat unsatisfactory; at most, it can only stop ordinary people. However, if a cultivator tries to force their way in, it will trigger an alarm, and the cultivators patrolling nearby will arrive immediately.

After inspecting his new place inside and out, Lu Yan began buying some household items to fill the yard.

After everything was tidied up, Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and had a good night's sleep.

After waking up, Lu Yan continued making talismans. He had very few spirit stones left after handing over the house.

He drew over a hundred talismans again, working day and night, and then sold them in the market.

Meanwhile, the deaths of two members of the Ba Mao Gang had already caused a great uproar, and they were searching for Lu Yan's whereabouts everywhere in Qishiqifang and the surrounding market. However, they never expected that Lu Yan had already moved into the central city.

After selling all the talismans, I had seventeen spirit stones left.

Just as I was about to go back, I suddenly remembered that I had changed my residence and was now protected by an array, allowing me to do some things I had wanted to do before.

He spent one spirit stone to buy twenty catties of red claw rabbit meat, and then went to buy some spirit rice, vegetables, seasonings and kitchen utensils. This so-called spirit rice contains a small amount of spiritual power, and long-term consumption is good for the body.

I've heard there are sects that specialize in growing spirit rice, which they then transport to Wuyou City from afar to sell. The price is very high, just like red claw rabbit meat, at five spirit grains per pound.

Cooking and eating for oneself, it costs dozens of spirit fragments a day. Let alone a low-level cultivator, even Lu Yan in his current state would find it very painful to spend them.

I bought some more fire cloud stones. These stones, when infused with spiritual energy, can emit very high temperatures, replacing firewood, and they don't smoke.

In total, Lu Yan spent nearly four spirit stones.

After thinking for a while, he went to the restaurant and bought a bottle of fine wine with a spirit stone.

Back at his residence, Lu Yan began steaming rice and cooking, spending an hour preparing several dishes.

I tasted it and it was great. It not only didn't decline in quality, but it actually improved a lot because of the special ingredients.

Lu Yan opened the wine jar and filled his bowl to the brim.

Instead of drinking it, he poured it on the ground.

"Lu Yan, may you rest in peace. I should have said goodbye to you long ago, but I was too anxious to do so every day."

Your life has been full of hardships. You lost your parents when you were young and relied on others for help to survive. When you grew up, you thought that you could change your fate by practicing cultivation, but what awaited you was the daily life in the mine.

To die silently before you even have a chance to enjoy life—that's life, full of uncertainties.

Don't worry, I will live well for you, and I will avenge you. If I have the chance to go back, I will leave no one alive who deceived you.

"May you be reborn into a good family in your next life. Whether you cultivate immortality or not is irrelevant. May you live a happy and carefree life." Lu Yan murmured to himself, bidding farewell to his former self.

The deceased are gone; as the living, we must live well and live a better life.

Since God brought me into this world, I cannot let God down.

Lu Yan filled the bowl again and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cough cough~" I didn't expect the taste to be so strong. In addition, there is a trace of spiritual energy in this wine. I don't know what was added.

After getting used to it, Lu Yan drank and ate at the same time.

Having been in this world for several months, this was the most relaxing day for Lu Yan.

But without the company of family and friends, they seemed so lonely and helpless.

No one can listen to your grievances and troubles; you can only talk to yourself.

I am the only outsider in the whole world, and I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead. I will have to explore them slowly on my own.

Gradually, the wine in the jar dwindled until it was empty. Lu Yan only ate a few bites of the dishes on the table, and didn't touch the rice in his bowl.

With his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, Lu Yan finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the table, falling asleep.

In his dream, Lu Yan saw the original owner's past, from childhood to adulthood, including the joys, happiness, pain, and sorrow in his life, as well as his aspirations for the future.

Next is myself, my parents, family, friends and relatives on Earth, my life at school, playing on the playground, the passion in the internet cafe, and the friendship between classmates.

I had just started working on the construction site after graduation, and I came into this world before I even had a chance to say goodbye to my family. I don't know how they are doing now.

By the way, how did I travel through time?

Never mind, I'll owe it to you for now if I haven't thought it through.

……

When I opened my eyes again, I had no idea how much time had passed.

He skillfully opened the panel and found that the numbers on the lock had changed to the letter "1". Only then did Lu Yan realize that two days had passed.

The wheel will refresh tonight at midnight (11 PM to 1 AM).

But I slept so well that it felt like some knots in my heart were untied, and I felt much more refreshed, both physically and mentally.

Lu Yan remembered that the original owner of this body had some relatives. He would go home to visit them when he had the chance, and help them out while he was at it.

First, he tidied up the table and kitchen. Although it was already dark outside, Lu Yan was wide awake and could only make talismans while waiting for the wheel to refresh.

Which wheel should I spin this time?

Now that my cultivation has reached the third level of Qi Refining, I'm no longer in a hurry to consume the Bloodline Fruit, and the same goes for the Demon Word Turntable, because I haven't been mining and still have a lot of Qi and Blood Beads left to use.

Wait a bit before considering the "ghost" roulette wheel.

Let's get some useful items to save our lives first.

I have a lot of items at hand, but most of them are auxiliary.

Needless to say, the Pen of Truth can only uncover some secrets.

The limb replacement statue can only be used on one person.

The king's belt and the Pearl of Heritage have already been used.

A rooster that lays eggs can only produce spirit stones.

The mirror game "Where Did Daddy Go?" is more like a prank.
