Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

After returning home, Lu Yan cultivated for a while and then started gossiping.

He took some of Steward Liu's hair with him when he left.

Taking out the Pen of Truth, infusing it with fresh blood, and sensing Steward Liu's presence, Lu Yan began to write.

"Heaven has been kind to me, giving me such a beautiful Daoist partner. This life has been worthwhile."

"It felt so good! We were intimate all night long, and I wish we could stay like this forever. I find myself completely addicted."

"I felt incredibly proud looking at Lao Zheng and Lao Li's envious eyes, after all, not everyone can have such a beautiful Daoist partner."

These two bachelors only think about spending their spirit stones at Qingfeng Pavilion; they deserve to be single forever.

"It's another exciting day. It's so great to have a partner. I sleep in your arms every night, and I feel so happy."

"..."

"I've been feeling a bit weak lately, and I think it might be because I haven't been exercising enough. I was planning to take a break for a while, but then I saw her expectant eyes."

"Forget it, I'll just grit my teeth and it'll all be over."

"..."

"No, no, even biting my teeth off won't get me through. Looks like I'll have to buy some Qi-strengthening and Yang-increasing pills to help myself."

"I have to say that the effect of the Guyuan Zengyang Pill is really good. Just two pills are enough to keep you going all night."

I felt like I was young again, and even she praised me for being amazing.

"..."

"I took seven pills of Guyuan Zengyang Dan today, but the effect was minimal. I still couldn't satisfy her. Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, I felt very guilty."

"..."

"Today she prepared a pot of tonics and also took twenty pills of Guyuan Zengyang Dan, but I still feel weaker and weaker, as if I am entering old age."

"..."

"I'm really shameless. Why did I have to become a Daoist partner? It would be so much better to be like Old Zheng and Old Li, drinking every day, wandering around, and only going to Qingfeng Pavilion when I have an idea."

Now, all the spirit stones I earn each month have to be handed over, and I still have to serve her well. Isn't that insane?

"Sigh~ What kind of life is this? I work hard all day, and then I have to go back and be exploited at night. Can't I just have a proper rest?"

"I can't take it anymore, this woman is too fierce. I'm panting after just a few steps. If this continues, I won't even know how I'll die. I have to think of a way to hide for a while."

"..."

"That woman is inhuman. After much thought, I've decided to find a place to hide for a while and take some time to recover."

"..."

Lu Yan: ...

A heartbreaking marital history.

……

Next up was Steward Li.

"Ugh~ I just moved, how did she find me again? Is she trying to kill me?"

"How could I be so shameless? Why did I have to provoke her? Now look what's happened, I'm hooked and can't escape."

"..."

"Ugh~ How am I supposed to live like this? She came again last night, I'm so exhausted I can barely walk, someone please save me~"

"..."

"No, I have to find a way to save myself. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Old Zheng has been quite free lately, how can I not drag him down with me?"

I need to plan things out carefully over this period of time.

Lu Yan: ...

Well, one Daoist partner for three people.

I wonder if the three of them combined are a match for that female cultivator.

Seeing the two people's miserable lives, Lu Yan suddenly felt that he was doing pretty well now.

……

Finally, Lu Yan began to investigate Steward Zheng's secrets.

"I met another female cultivator at Qingfeng Pavilion yesterday. I must say she's really beautiful, and her skills are quite good too. I'll see her again tonight."

"Qingfeng Pavilion..."

"..."

"Today, Lu Yan brought me some surprises. Those who have been reduced to mining in the mines are all cultivators with extremely poor aptitude."

It would take at least five or six years, or even eight or ten years, to break through to the second level of Qi Refining.

And Lu Yan is already so young, he must have some unspeakable secrets.

Unfortunately, I'm too old to take the risk anymore. If I were younger, I would definitely have explored it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems quite a few people are eyeing this little guy Lu Yan. I wonder if he's noticed. I hope he can get through this."

After writing more than ten messages, I finally saw a message that was related to me.

Judging from the words, Manager Zheng didn't intend to harm him, but quite a few of his fellow workers had designs on him.

However, Lu Yan was not afraid. The strongest of these people was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and the rest were at the first level of Qi Refining, so they were not a threat.

……

After daybreak, Lu Yan continued working.

When Lu Yan arrived at the mine, he found that Manager Liu was not there today; only Manager Li and Manager Zheng were present.

Lu Yan didn't cause any trouble and obediently continued mining and feeding the chickens. However, he noticed that many people were secretly watching him, but he pretended not to know anything about it.

As they were finishing work, Manager Zheng suddenly said meaningfully, "Be careful."

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised, not expecting Steward Zheng to remind him.

But Lu Yan also had the idea of ​​getting rid of trouble, and he was afraid that the fact that he was a rooster that lays eggs would be exposed because he was being watched every day.

They deliberately lingered until the very end, and even chose a secluded path with few people.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Yan was stopped by a group of people.

Four are at the second level of Qi Refining, and ten are at the first level of Qi Refining.

Two of them were his coworkers, probably his informants. Lu Yan also remembered the others; they belonged to a gang or similar organization.

Unfortunately, lacking power, influence, and backing, they dared not act recklessly in Wuyou City and the mines, and could only rob passing cultivators on their way to and from work.

Three of these people carried ordinary iron knives, while the rest carried clubs; they were a bunch of poor wretches.

This is also the tragedy of cultivators at the bottom level. They don't have spirit stones to buy proper magic weapons, let alone martial arts and spells. Because they have to earn money to survive, they don't even have time to learn.

When they fight, they're no different from ordinary thugs, except they're a bit more destructive.

"Fellow Daoists, is there something you need?" Lu Yan asked calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, we heard that you have already broken through to the second level of Qi Refining at such a young age. We have come to congratulate you." The leader immediately said.

As expected of someone who cultivates immortality, even when robbing someone on the road, they still speak quite politely.

"Since you've come to offer your congratulations, did you bring any gifts?" Lu Yan decided to tease them.

Upon hearing this, the leader was speechless for a moment, his lips twitched, and then he said, "We came in a hurry, we'll make up for it next time."

"Fellow Daoists, as the saying goes, a small gift is never a bad thing. You can also give spirit stones in cash," Lu Yan continued.

Everyone: ...

"You don't have any spirit stones, do you? How about this, I think your knives are quite nice, how about you give them to me as a congratulatory gift?" Lu Yan asked, pointing to the knives in the hands of the men.

"Damn it, Lu Yan, stop spouting nonsense. Let me tell you the truth: if you want to live today, answer our questions honestly, or grandpa will beat you up!" The crowd realized that Lu Yan was toying with them and immediately shouted angrily.

"What do you all want to ask? I, Lu, will answer whatever I know." Lu Yan replied calmly after hearing their threats.
