Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

There was also the prime minister's underpants; it's unknown whether they've been stolen.

The items that can be obtained from spinning the Demon Wheel include Blood Explosion Pill, Desire Demon Lock, Demon Whispers, Water of Desire, Demon Crow, Exploding Demon Orb, Corpse Puppet Talisman, and Life-Scattering Needle.

However, there aren't many usable items: Hand and Foot Replacement, Blood Explosion Pill, Demon Crow, Exploding Demon Bead, and Corpse Puppet Talisman.

Moreover, these things are extremely rare, and Lu Yan didn't want to waste them.

After getting rid of Fei Lingyan, Lu Yan once again found himself in the forest, living among monsters.

Especially after dark, Lu Yan faced several close calls and was incredibly unlucky.

At mid-Hai hour (9:00-23:00), Lu Yan once again escaped the tiger's den and left the forest, heading towards Wuyou City.

They were stopped before they had gone very far.

"Hehehe~ I'm in luck today. I thought I wouldn't have much to gain, but I didn't expect there would be cultivators wandering around outside in the middle of the night." A cultivator dressed in black robes and wearing a bamboo hat blocked my way.

"A cultivator at the Tribulation Realm?" Upon seeing the newcomer, Lu Yan became wary and checked the other party's cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 7.

It's a bit troublesome, but not insurmountable.

"Hehehe~ You say so, then so be it." After saying that, the other party stopped talking and directly attacked Lu Yan with his hands in the shape of sharp claws.

Lu Yan quickly summoned the Pickaxe of the Mining God to counterattack.

"Clang!" Sparks flew as the hand struck the pickaxe.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Yan discovered that the other party was actually hiding a sharp blade in their hand; indeed, they were insidious.

"Huh~ Your pickaxe is so hard, my mid-grade magic weapon, the Cicada Blade, didn't even cut through it." After the first move, seeing that Lu Yan had only retreated and was not injured, the black-robed man let out a soft exclamation.

After speaking, the man in black robes launched another attack. This time, he did not target Lu Yan but instead swung his full force toward the Pickaxe of the Mining God, wanting to test its quality.

"Clang!" Sparks flashed again.

The immense force emanating from the Mine God's Pickaxe nearly made Lu Yan lose his grip.

Moreover, the opponent was using such a lightweight weapon; if they had been using something like a knife or axe, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand a single blow.

Unlike ordinary Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators, he is much stronger than the three cultivators who chased him today.

As expected, these cultivators who make a living by robbing are not simple.

Feeling the vast difference between them, Da Yan turned and ran away.

If I had talismans on me now, I could still exchange a few blows with him, but there's no need now, since my bad luck hasn't passed yet.

"Hehehe~ You naked guy, you can't escape~" The black-robed cultivator didn't stop Lu Yan from running away. He took out a black disc from his storage bag, stood on it, and then the black disc hovered in the air and flew quickly toward Lu Yan.

"Damn! They actually have a flying artifact." Upon seeing this, Lu Yan cursed inwardly and immediately stopped to prepare to defend himself.

Flying in the sky is much faster than running on the ground; it's impossible to outrun it.

"Hit!" The black-robed cultivator in the air flicked his sleeve, and dozens of beams of light flew out.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan quickly took out a mid-grade magic weapon, the Golden Shield, from his storage ring and held it in front of him.

After the "ding-ding-ding~" sound, countless fine needles fell to the ground.

"Oh, kid, you even have a storage ring. Looks like you're quite wealthy." The black-robed cultivator was filled with greed upon seeing Lu Yan's storage ring displayed on his finger.

"But it will be mine soon." After saying that, he launched another attack.

"Swap!" Knowing he couldn't escape or beat him, Lu Yan naturally wouldn't waste the props and directly used the limb swap on him.

In an instant, the black-robed cultivator's body began to twist, and then his arms and legs switched positions.

The two arms that were about to launch an attack grew down below, and the legs that were originally standing on the black plate grew on both sides of the shoulders.

The black-robed cultivator had no time to react and rolled off the black plate.

"Ah—what's wrong with me!" Seeing that his arms and legs were no longer arms or legs, the black-robed cultivator lost his previous arrogance and was filled with fear.

"Hehe, it's my turn now." Taking advantage of his weakness, Lu Yan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass, and he picked up the Mining God's Pickaxe to start the attack.

The black-robed cultivator dodged as soon as Lu Yan began to attack, but because he was not used to stepping on the ground with his hands, he fell down again.

"Ah—" The pickaxe of the mining god struck his left arm—no, it should be his left leg. Blood, flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere, and the black-robed cultivator let out a miserable scream.

"Again," Lu Yan said, continuing his attack.

"Clang~" Knowing he couldn't escape, the black-disc cultivator took out a Holy Light Talisman from his storage bag and used it on himself first.

However, it could only block Lu Yan's attacks two or three times before the Holy Light Rune shattered with a crack.

"Die!" The moment the Holy Light Talisman shattered, the black-robed cultivator released a cloud of black smoke, temporarily forcing Lu Yan back. Then he took out two more talismans and used them immediately.

Suddenly, two fire snakes appeared out of thin air and attacked Lu Yan.

Lu Yan knew the power of the Fire Serpent Talisman and dared not take it head-on, so he retreated repeatedly, replacing the Mining God's Pickaxe with the Golden Mask Shield to block the attack.

Meanwhile, the black-robed monk began to flee.

After the power of the Fire Serpent Talisman subsided, Lu Yan continued his pursuit, having wasted one of his items. If he didn't kill him, he would suffer a huge loss.

Because of the replacement of his limbs, the black-robed cultivator was not able to escape quickly. When he saw Lu Yan catching up, he began to use talismans to attack and harass him, trying to force Lu Yan to retreat.

After an unknown amount of time, the black-robed cultivator's storage bag was empty of talismans, and he no longer had the strength to escape.

"Fellow Daoist, I was wrong. Spare my life and I'm willing to offer all my valuables," the black-robed cultivator began to plead desperately.

"Fellow Daoist, even if you die, your things will still be mine. Before I leave, I'll give you this advice: remember to be a good person in your next life. Farewell." After saying this, Lu Yan ended his life with a single shovel.

First, they stripped off his clothes and put them on themselves, discovering that he was actually a lean man.

Then he began to loot his spoils and discovered that he actually had eight storage bags, which meant he had taken the lives of quite a few cultivators.

Lu Yan took all the things away. As for his body, there was no need to worry about it; the wild beasts would take care of it later.

Looking up at the sky, I estimated that it was already past midnight (11 PM to 1 AM), and the effect of the Destiny Coin should have worn off, otherwise I wouldn't have received such a generous loot.

Not daring to return through the North Gate, Lu Yan deliberately went around to the East Gate, making his clothes dirty and disheveled to pretend to be a cultivator fleeing for his life.

The guards at the gate didn't suspect anything when they saw Lu Yan's appearance and let him pass after a quick glance.

Lu Yan covered his face and then carefully returned to his residence. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one around.

Then he went into his own house and began searching. The storage bag was nowhere to be found, and even the spirit rice in the kitchen was gone, which was exactly what Lu Yan expected.

There wasn't much in the storage bag; the most valuable item was a low-grade magic weapon, a large sword. The rest were just some daily necessities and scattered spirit stones.
