Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

One good news and one bad news.

The good news was that the three cultivators who had been chasing him had disappeared, but the bad news was that the group of sharp-toothed boars were still hot on his heels.

This is like a relay race, where you can even switch shifts.

With no other option, they had to go back into the forest. After wandering around for a while, they finally managed to shake off the sharp-toothed boar, but they also lost their way.

Fortunately, they were safe for the time being. Lu Yan quickly picked some leaves to make an apron to cover Xiao Liu.

Then he took out the mid-grade magic artifact, the Cloud-Stepping Boots, from his storage ring. He hadn't even had time to put on the boots while being chased.

I climbed to the top of the tree, glanced at the position of the sun, and then started heading south out of the forest.

"Awoo~" After taking only two steps, a wolf howl was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a group of black-toothed wolves appeared in front of Lu Yan, staring at him hungryly with their mouths watering.

Damn it, is this never going to end?

Without hesitation, Lu Yan turned and ran away again.

Then another chase between humans and werewolves took place in the forest.

As they ran at high speed, the leaves on Lu Yan's body had long since disappeared, and Xiao Liu was still leading the way, carrying Lu Yan along.

Fortunately, the Cloud-Stepping Boots saved a lot of effort this time, but after getting rid of the Blacktooth Wolf, they lost their way again.

Looking at the sky, it was probably noon (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Half the day had already passed, and there were still six hours left. It seemed that I was not going to feel well in the next few hours.

Lu Yan used leaves to make an apron to cover Xiao Liu again, and then continued to look for a way out.

"Roar~" A silver-eyed tiger leaped out and blocked the way.

Lu Yan: ...

They really don't let themselves rest.

Lu Yan escaped again, and after an unknown amount of time, he landed safely again, the leaf apron he was wearing was gone.

Seeing that fate was determined to do so, Lu Yan also began to give up and stopped blocking Xiao Liu. The two brothers worked together to find a way out, because no matter what the problem was, it was still a way out.

Having more brains means having more ideas.

Then Lu Yan entered a series of escape phases, with giant pythons, green wind eagles, earth dragons, flower shadow leopards and other monsters taking turns to attack, and Lu Yan also began to be injured, but not too seriously.

This series of punches came down to the end of Shenshi (3 PM to 5 PM), and Lu Yan finally found a way out and arrived at the edge of the forest.

……

Outside the forest, female cultivators of the Moon Sound Sect were organizing their ranks.

"Fellow junior sisters, you all performed well this time. Not a single one of those sharp-toothed boars escaped."

However, Junior Sister Liu was a bit careless and almost got hurt by the sharp-toothed boar. You have to understand that we are not body cultivators. If we are hit by the sharp-toothed boar with all our might, we will be seriously injured or even killed.

Junior Sister Li, you too, how can you keep using talismans? You should know that we are here to train, and we need to do things ourselves.

"And Junior Sister Fei, not a single one was killed. Be careful next time." Zhao Jinmian began to comment on each one.

"Senior sister, the pigs are so pitiful, why do we have to kill them?" Fei Lingyan said dejectedly after being scolded.

"Junior sister, let me say it again: humans are humans, and demon beasts are demon beasts. They have always been adversaries, yet they are each other's resources. Being soft-hearted towards demon beasts is being cruel to yourself. Don't have any more pity for them." Zhao Jinmian was furious at her lack of self-respect.

"I understand, Senior Sister~" Fei Lingyan replied pitifully.

"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow." Zhao Jinmian waved goodbye, preparing to lead the team back.

"Oh my gosh, look!" Fei Lingyan exclaimed excitedly, tugging at Zhao Jinmian's sleeve.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Jinmian turned her head with some confusion.

"Senior sister, look at that person. Isn't he the one who was sick this morning? The one with the growth of a 'troublesome thing' down there?" Fei Lingyan said, pointing as she spoke.

As Fei Lingyan pointed in the direction, all the female cultivators looked in that direction.

……

Lu Yan was quite embarrassed at this moment. He had planned to borrow a set of clothes from a cultivator on his way back, but he hadn't run into a single person after searching for so long.

I was overjoyed when I heard the commotion and ran over, but I never expected it to be a group of female cultivators.

Isn't that awkward?

"Uh~ Hi~" Lu Yan thought it was really impolite not to greet each other when they met, so he immediately waved.

"ah--"

"rogue!"

"Beast!"

"Shameless scoundrel!"

But Lu Yan was met with screams and curses.

Only Fei Lingyan excitedly ran towards Lu Yan.

"Junior Sister Fei, what are you doing!"

"Little Goose, come back quickly, it's dangerous there."

The nuns tried to stop them, but it was too late.

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic! I'll help you cure your illness, remove the root of your troubles, and get rid of your worries." With that, Fei Lingyan drew her sword and attacked Xiao Liu.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan was startled and quickly dodged, almost suffering a lifelong regret.

Although he didn't know why the little girl attacked him, he knew that she had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he was no match for her. So Lu Yan turned around and ran away again.

But as he ran, Lu Yan was surprised to find that the little girl was getting closer and closer to him.

Moreover, the girl shouted as she chased after him, "Fellow Daoist, don't run! My sword is very fast, I guarantee it won't hurt, and it will cure your illness as soon as it falls."

Lu Yan: ...

Is this a question of whether it hurts or not?

Xiao Liu's life was threatened, and Lu Yan tried his best to escape, but it was all in vain, and he was eventually caught up by the little girl.

"Damn it!" Having narrowly saved Xiao Liu once again, Lu Yan had no choice but to make other plans.

The difference between the fifth and eighth levels of Qi Refining is too great. You might be able to dodge it once or twice, but there will be three or four more times to come.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan took out the prop, the Strange Donkey. The system said that this thing could carry him away for an hour, and it was perfect to use it now.

As Lu Yan used it, the fist-sized donkey carving instantly grew larger, becoming a robust donkey puppet.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan quickly jumped on it, started it, and began to escape.

As expected, the Qidao Donkey was very fast, and in no time it left Fei Lingyan far behind. It was truly amazing that it was a product of the system.

But as Lu Yan ran, he realized something was wrong.

This strange donkey doesn't seem to be running in a straight line; it keeps turning.

A little while later, Lu Yan met Fei Lingyan again.

Lu Yan: ...

Damn weapon refiner, did you design it like a donkey pulling a millstone?

Otherwise, why would it keep spinning in circles?

Lu Yan was speechless. He had thought it was an item for escaping, but it turned out to be like this.

"Wow, fellow Daoist, this thing of yours is so much fun! It ran out from behind me in just a short while." Fei Lingyan was very interested in seeing how fast the strange donkey was running.

But Lu Yan had no time for playing around. He jumped off the strange donkey and ran into the forest.

Fei Lingyan was distracted by the strange donkey and stopped attacking Lu Yan.

With one less item, Lu Yan began to tally up his remaining items as he fled.

The spinning wheel produces items such as the Pen of Truth, the Mirror of Where Did Daddy Go, the Egg-Laying Rooster, Featherless Water, Imperial Jade Liquor, Hand and Foot Replacement, Spirit-Returning Pacifier, Self-Mutilation Dagger, Wood Oil Chicken, Taste-like Excrement Potion, and Destiny Coin.
