Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

The same thing happened on the ninth day, but fortunately, we caught two red-clawed rabbits.

On the tenth day, the group obtained a hidden beast, thus concluding the beginner's training course.

The beginner tutorial only teaches the Hidden Beast and the Red Claw Rabbit. The Five-Colored Chicken requires extremely advanced ranged attack skills, which none of them possess.

Yue Tingxin didn't dare to provoke the sharp-toothed boars easily. Those things came in groups, and each one was fearless and thick-skinned. Even low-grade magic weapons couldn't do anything to them in a short time.

It requires a group of cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining to hunt them, but there is still a high casualty rate.

There's also the Qingfeng deer, which is extremely wary. It runs away at the slightest disturbance and is incredibly fast, making it the most difficult to catch. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive.

The group was quite reluctant to part with Yue Tingxin on the day they parted, after all, she had taught them wholeheartedly for ten days.

The day after Yue Tingxin left, the eight of them invited Lu Yan to go hunting together, but Lu Yan refused, using the excuse of making talismans, and gave them some talismans.

Lu Yan had to wait for the roulette wheel to update tonight; another month had passed, which was truly not easy.

That evening, Zheng Qu brought Lu Yan some red-clawed rabbit meat as a token of gratitude, which Lu Yan gladly accepted.

Today they caught three Red Claw Rabbits. The group was pragmatic and gave up on catching the Hidden Beast without Lu Yan present, since only Lu Yan's low-grade magic weapon was capable of easily breaking through the Hidden Beast's defenses.

Although the group could take down a hidden beast together, there was a high chance of casualties, making it a losing proposition.

In the middle of the month (11 PM to 1 AM), the roulette wheel refreshes again.

Looking at the four spinning wheels for Human, Demon, Monster, and Ghost, Lu Yan fell into deep thought. After much deliberation, he pressed the Demon wheel. After all, he was going to mine tomorrow, and with the help of the Blood Bead, he could wield the Pickaxe of the Mining God as soon as possible.

As the spinning wheel stopped, there were seven more beads of qi and blood and three illusory figures.

A jade bottle, a white jade skull, and a black raven.

Lu Yan clicked on the jade bottle first.

"Water of Desire"

A product of lust, it can stimulate the deepest desires within one's heart after consumption, thus making one reckless. The stronger the target, the weaker the effect.

Friendly reminder: What is the purpose of life?

It's just about eating the delicious food you want, sleeping with the beautiful women you want, and possessing unparalleled strength and supreme power.

Drink me, and you will have boundless courage to fulfill your dreams!

Damn it, this is a death wish! Daring to act recklessly in this world, they won't even know how they die.

This stuff isn't very practical, but it's at least better than hairless water and Imperial Jade Liquor. I'll keep it safe for now.

Next up is a white jade skull.

"White Jade Skull Evil (One-time Use)"

Using Yin Jade as a vessel, filling it with the souls of living people and then refining it, it can release countless vengeful demons and evil spirits to indiscriminately attack living things around it until the souls are exhausted.

Friendly reminder: Killing! Deprivation! Death! I experience it every day.

Instead of living a wretched life, come in and keep me company, and you'll be truly reborn!

Wow, this thing is pretty good. It would be a huge weapon if used in areas with a high concentration of enemies. Unfortunately, it can't distinguish between friend and foe, so it should be used with caution unless absolutely necessary.

Finally, Lu Yan clicked on the black crow.

"Demon Raven (Disposable)"

The embodiment of darkness, their every appearance is accompanied by bloodshed and carnage; they are invincible in the night.

After using it, you will possess the power of the Demon Raven, becoming the darling of the night for one hour.

Friendly reminder: The night is our domain, darkness is our home, and all living things that love the light deserve to die!

We must kill them! Annihilate them! Leave no one alive!

Not bad, not bad. This is the perfect tool for assassinations.

After learning about the situation, everyone rested. At dawn, Lu Yan went to the mine to work.

To avoid attracting attention, Lu Yan painted his skin yellow and black to blend in with the miners.

When they met, Steward Zheng was very surprised, not expecting that Lu Yan was still alive. He then told Lu Yan that someone had been inquiring about him recently and that he was a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Lu Yan instantly understood. He guessed it was Ji Ba Mao's brother-in-law, the manager. Even so, Lu Yan was not afraid. He was just a mere fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator. With so many tools at his disposal, he wouldn't dare to mess around and kill him.

While mining, Lu Yan consumed a Qi and Blood Bead, working in conjunction with the Mining God's Pickaxe to improve his skills.

Before coming, Lu Yan had already planned out his time allocation.

In the morning, I mine to train my body and feed the chickens to lay eggs. In the afternoon, I go back to make talismans and practice various martial arts. In the evening, I start practicing.

This arrangement is more rational than before.

In the past, after a day of mining, I would be so tired that I would just collapse into bed and waste a lot of time.

In the evening, after Lu Yan finished his cultivation, he started gossiping, which was his only form of entertainment at the moment.

Let's first use the Pen of Truth to examine Steward Zheng's secrets.

"Qingfeng Pavilion has a few new girls today, each one more beautiful than the last. Although their skills are not up to par, their bodies are really tender."

"..."

The story begins with a tale of Manager Zheng's romantic escapades.

"I don't know what's gotten into Old Li tonight, he actually invited me to his house for drinks, and Old Liu's partner is with me too. Isn't he afraid that Old Liu will find out and kill him?"

"Damn it! I drank too much last night and accidentally slept with Lao Liu's partner. This is really awesome."

It has to be said that Lao Liu's Daoist partner is really something else, surpassing many of the female cultivators in Qingfeng Pavilion; she's incredibly flirtatious.

Why didn't I become her Daoist partner sooner? After all, we met first. But it's not too late now, hehe~

Lu Yan: ...

They've fallen into a trap.

"Old Liu's Daoist partner came to see me again today. Tsk tsk tsk~ Other people's Daoist partners are just different. The way they sway their waists is absolutely amazing."

Especially those long legs, they almost took my life. Since Old Liu can't satisfy his Daoist partner, then I'll help him.

"Old Liu's Daoist partner came to visit again today, and he was only wearing an outer garment. He seemed quite eager and got straight to the point."

Since she got together with me, she's stopped paying attention to Lao Li altogether. She's definitely worse off with me than with Lao Li and Lao Liu.

"Old Liu's Daoist companions arrived again tonight, and in his excitement, it was another sleepless night. These days are truly wonderful~"

"..."

"Old Liu's Daoist partner comes to see me every day. It's great, but I feel like my body is getting weaker day by day, as if it's been hollowed out."

I was going to wait a bit, but I couldn't refuse Old Liu's Daoist companion's insistence, so I figured I'd just have to bear with it; I'm not losing anything anyway.

"..."

"Old Liu's Daoist partner is here again. His body is starting to feel the strain, but he can't bring himself to refuse."

Even in defeat, a man should not admit his inadequacy. He should take two Qi-Boosting and Yang-Increasing Pills and continue the battle, ultimately achieving a crushing victory!

Hahaha!"

"..."
