Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Yan went to work in the mine again, digging ten baskets of spirit ore just like the day before, and then returned with the others.

However, things don't seem peaceful tonight. Members of the Ba Mao Gang are going door to door asking about the missing Zhao Ming.

Lu Yan was also asked, but he pretended not to know and fooled the person who asked.

The same thing continued for the next few days; the Ba Mao Gang searched for Zhao Ming day and night.

Lu Yan also knew that the reason why the Ba Mao Gang was making such a big fuss was not because they valued Zhao Ming, but because they wanted to save face for the Ba Mao Gang.

If the gang doesn't take action after Zhao Ming disappears, someone who dares to kill Zhao Ming today will dare to kill Zhang Ming, Li Ming, and Wang Ming tomorrow.

If Lu Yan's prediction is correct, the Ba Mao Gang will find a few scapegoats if they can't find the murderer who killed Zhao Ming.

Sure enough, three days later, two Qi Refining Level 2 cultivators who had a grudge against Zhao Ming died unexpectedly at home, their bodies cut into several pieces.

Anyone with eyes can see that this was done by the Ba Mao gang; it was to make an example of them.

But that was all; the Ba Mao Gang completely quieted down after that.

After Zhao Ming's matter was over, Lu Yan began to focus on making talismans at home, learning one or two new types of talismans every day until the end of the month.

Looking at the more than sixty talismans on the table, Lu Yan began to worry.

There are many types of talismans, including more than forty kinds such as cleansing talismans, flashing talismans, vision-enhancing talismans, and sleep-inducing talismans.

To refine these talismans, Lu Yan spent most of the remaining spirit stones.

However, these talismans are the most basic of the basics and cannot be directly exchanged for spirit stones or spirit fragments. They are usually given as gifts around the head and are not worth much.

There are five commonly used low-level runes in the first tier.

The Great Strength Talisman, the Swift Speed ​​Talisman, the Warning Talisman, the Yang Talisman, and the Miasma Avoidance Talisman.

The first three types are the mainstream, while the Yang Talisman is for dealing with ghosts and the Miasma Talisman is for dealing with poisonous gas, and their sales are not as good as the first three types.

However, these five types of talismans are somewhat difficult to make, and Lu Yan, who is new to talisman making, needs some time to hone his skills.

Most importantly, my cultivation level is not high enough; I'm only at the first level of Qi Refining, so refining these five talismans is very difficult for me.

It seems I need to find a way to increase my cultivation level.

……

Lu Yan couldn't sleep tonight; it was time for the monthly lottery again.

Seeing the numbers on the turntable return to zero, Lu Yan didn't want to waste a moment and made the turntable start spinning again.

After a moment, the spinning wheel stopped, and ten phantom images appeared below. In addition to the usual spirit stones, there was also a puppet rooster, a pair of underpants, and a bronze mirror.

Lu Yan first clicked on the puppet rooster.

"Egg-laying rooster"

A puppet-like magical artifact that pecks at objects containing spiritual energy, then compresses and condenses it within its body, eventually forming an egg no less valuable than a mid-grade spirit stone.

Friendly reminder: Who says roosters can't lay eggs? Today I'm going to prove to them that roosters can lay eggs, and they'll lay amazing eggs!

Please remember, this is a rooster that lays eggs, the fighting rooster among roosters!

"Hiss~" Lu Yan gasped when he saw the introduction of the puppet rooster.

This is good stuff. Lu Yan had looked into the exchange rate between spirit stones. On the surface, one mid-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

However, due to the convenience and high quality of mid-grade spirit stones, they are of greater help to cultivators, and their value has already risen to 102 for every 1 stone.

With a mid-grade spirit stone, one's cultivation level will improve very quickly.

It's like my wish came true.

After learning about the egg-laying rooster, Lu Yan looked at the remaining two items.

The underpants looked ordinary and didn't interest Lu Yan, so he skipped it and clicked on the bronze mirror.

Where Did Daddy Go?

Made of Gu Heart Copper and engraved with an induction array, it is now complete. After being used on the target, call out to their son (or daughter), and the target will involuntarily shout "Father!" (Note: Only applicable to targets at or below the Qi Refining stage.)

Friendly reminder: They always say I'll never have children and that I'm destined to be lonely. Fine, then I'll become everyone's father.

Haha~ You are my son, and you are also my son. You are both my sons and daughters~

Don't laugh, including you watching this screen—

Holy crap! This thing is awesome.

With this thing, wouldn't it be the same as having countless children?

Can you be whose father you want?

This is great stuff!

Finally, Lu Yan pointed to the white underwear.

"The Prime Minister's Underpants"

A pair of underpants belonging to a famous prime minister, adorned with the worship and admiration of billions of men.

Wearing it will not only increase your partner's affection for you, but also allow you to undergo secondary development, becoming stronger and a true man among men.

Friendly reminder: Young people don't know the value of married women, and mistakenly take young girls for treasures. Mr. Cao loves nothing else in his life but women.

The exquisite taste is extraordinary; I wish to die on them in the end.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Say the important thing three times.

Unexpectedly, this was actually a treasure of a senior from Blue Star, and its function surprised Lu Yan greatly.

I put them on without any hesitation, and they were surprisingly comfortable.

Wearing these underpants had no other meaning than that Lu Yan was very satisfied with his second brother; it was simply to express his longing for the Prime Minister.

Having obtained these three treasures, Lu Yan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and the next day he went to the mine to start mining.

If we're talking about places where spiritual objects are found, then spiritual stone mines are undoubtedly the place to go.

I thought that with this system I could finally escape the mining industry, but I never expected to come back again after all this time.

Lu Yan walked straight into the depths of the mine, then found a secluded spot to start digging. The spirit ore here was quite hard, making it very difficult to dig, so everyone avoided this place, but this suited Lu Yan's needs perfectly.

Release the laying rooster and let it start pecking at the ore, while you pretend to mine while keeping watch.

The rooster that laid the egg pecked at the spirit ore as easily as pecking at tofu.

However, after pecking for a while, he would stop to digest for a while, expelling the useless stones and leaving only the spirit stones to slowly condense inside his stomach.

Lu Yan only managed to mine seven baskets of spirit ore in a day, a far less efficient process than before.

When leaving, the rooster that laid the eggs will be returned to the system. In the spirit stone mine, no one cares when you come, but when you leave, you will be scanned by divine sense to prevent anyone from taking the spirit ore away.

Back at his residence, Lu Yan took out the rooster that had laid eggs and discovered that only one-tenth of the mid-grade spirit stones inside its body had been condensed.

Unfortunately, the rooster needs to spend a lot of time digesting the eggs and expelling the useless stones, otherwise it would be much faster.

I originally planned to use my low-grade spirit stones for cultivation, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it.

These low-grade spirit stones are few in number, just enough for daily expenses. For cultivation, mid-grade spirit stones will suffice, so the extra ten days won't make a difference.

These mid-grade spirit stones can only be used for cultivation. If I dared to take them out to buy things, I would definitely die a horrible death. This is not something that a low-level cultivator should possess.
