You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

"Women are far more difficult to deal with than demons and monsters!"

After pondering for a long time, Lu Xuan came to this conclusion.

No matter what, life goes on!

In the afternoon, he rode his donkey out.

I took on a few small jobs treating patients.

Cultivation value +99.

Cultivation value +99.

……

While passing by a gloomy old house at night, he killed a wicked eighth-rank demon that was causing harm.

Cultivation points +999

Concealing Breath Technique (Human Level Perfection) +1

【Breath Concealment Technique】: An auxiliary cultivation technique that, by adjusting breathing and the flow of energy through the body's meridians, allows one to conceal their aura, cultivation level, and killing intent.

"This concealment technique isn't particularly powerful, but it's very suitable for use in situations like evasion, tracking, and reconnaissance."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, then with a thought, checked his own panel.

[Host]: Lu Xuan

Age: 18.4

[Cultivation Level]: Rank 4 (2496/50000)

[Cultivation Techniques]: Great Heavenly Medical Technique (Heavenly Level Perfection), Mysterious Talisman Manual (Earthly Level Perfection), Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Needle (Earthly Level Perfection), Sword Control Technique (Earthly Level Perfection), Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique (Earthly Level Perfection), Thunderclap Fist (Human Level Perfection), Wind Chasing Step (Human Level Perfection), Cloud Probing Hand (Human Level Perfection), Breath Concealment Technique (Human Level Perfection)...

"I'm currently at the fourth rank of cultivation, and the rewards from white and blue orders are too meager to be worth much..."

"Completing a blue order rewards 999 cultivation points, and if all orders are purple, it's 9999. Five purple orders will accumulate 50,000 cultivation points, enough to break through to the Qi Refining stage and advance to... the Divine Refinement stage!"

With his current cultivation and combat strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest Qi Refining Realm cultivator, and he is almost invincible below the Divine Refining Realm!

But he yearned to refine his spirit!

Even the strongest Qi Refining Realm cultivators cannot match the Spirit Refining Realm cultivators.

The difference between the two is like the difference between the Body Refinement Realm and the Qi Refining Realm—vast and incomparable!

Only when a cultivator advances to the Refining God Realm can they truly be considered a powerful figure.

As far as Lu Xuan knew, the governor of Yunzhou who held military and political power was a Refining Spirit Realm expert!

The Great Yan Dynasty has a rule that only those whose cultivation has reached the Refining God Realm are qualified to serve as governors of a state and guard a region.

"Taking five more purple orders will allow me to advance to the Refining God Realm; it's not too difficult..."

Lu Xuan murmured to himself that in order to advance to the Refining God Realm as soon as possible, he would have to work hard to take on more orders in the future, especially purple orders.

"I also promised Miss Su that I would return to the Su residence. The Mid-Autumn Festival is in seven days, so don't forget..."

Lu Xuan shook his head, cleared his mind, and went home.

The next day.

sunny.

Lu Xuan set off on his donkey early in the morning, embarking on a journey across the country, taking on orders and working hard.

Shortly after he left, his brother-in-law Li Du, who lived in Taoye Lane on East Street, also put on a constable's uniform and hung a broadsword at his waist.

"Wife, you don't need to prepare any food for me today..." Li Du said, and then stepped out the door.

Lu Qingqing didn't pay much attention, assuming that Li Du had gone to the yamen as usual.

The government office of Qingyang County.

All the constables stood in rows, their expressions serious, fully prepared to go...

The sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

Lu Xuan rode his donkey for half an hour, tossing Bao Bu three carrots to the donkey, but didn't trigger a single order along the way.

The system's order assignment is largely based on luck.

Lu Xuan's abilities will only be triggered in certain specific times and scenarios, when he encounters certain people or things.

Let it be. If you keep searching aimlessly, orders will eventually come.

"Master, carrots."

"Aren't we still ten miles from the next stop?"

"Hehe, little donkey's got a sweet tooth..."

Lu Xuan generously took out five carrots and threw them into Bao Bulu's mouth.

Bao Bulu was pleasantly surprised. After chewing a few times, he swallowed it and immediately felt refreshed, like a car that had been fully fueled and was running very fast!

Da da da~

A little while later, a small town appeared ahead.

Next to the entrance to the town, there is a stone with the words "Yellowstone" engraved on it.

Huangshi Town is one of the twelve townships in Qingyang County, and also the most remote town.

This was Lu Xuan's first time here. He led his donkey into the town...

"Freshly steamed buns and mantou! Thin skin, generous filling, and juicy goodness with every bite. Don't miss out!"

"Spinning sugar figurines! Dragons, phoenixes, flowers, birds—we have them all! One penny per spin, choose whatever you like!"

"From cooking oil and salt to soy sauce and vinegar, needles and thread, and fabrics, we have everything you need for daily life. Feel free to come in and browse!"

"Auntie, your vegetables look fresh, but the price is too high. Can you give me a discount of two coins? I'll take a couple more bunches."

……

Today is the market day in Huangshi Town, which is held every three days. The streets are bustling with people, and vendors are enthusiastically hawking their wares, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

Lu Xuan bought a bag of fresh carrots from a street vendor and hung it on the donkey's rump.

Then I went into a breakfast stall, ordered a bowl of steaming hot wontons, dipped them in some chili sauce, and started eating.

Lu Xuan had just eaten a few wontons when a commotion broke out on the street behind him.

A man dressed in fine clothes appeared, followed by seven or eight fierce-looking servants.

Pedestrians and vendors on the street were immediately terrified, scattering like birds in flight, trying to avoid it at all costs.

"Go to hell!"

An elderly man with mobility issues was not able to dodge in time and was kicked away by the man in fine clothes, knocking him unconscious.

"You blind old fool, how dare you block our young master's way? You deserve to die!" Several thugs even went up and kicked him a few more times.

"Hahaha."

The richly dressed man laughed loudly, displaying extreme arrogance.

His gaze swept across the street, where a stall had fresh, large pears.

"These pears look good!"

The wicked servants understood immediately and swarmed forward to snatch them all.

They always just snatch whatever they want!

"Oh, young lady, you're quite a beauty! How about I taste the rouge on your lips? Hahaha."

"Young lady, why don't you just give in to me? I'll take good care of you, hahaha."

A well-dressed man saw a woman who was somewhat attractive and began to harass her in the street.

This is absolutely outrageous!

The local people were all angry but dared not speak out, and no one dared to resist; they simply avoided and fled...

"Young master, look! There's a beautiful young lady over there!" a wicked servant said, pointing to a stall not far ahead.

The man in fine clothes looked in the direction the wicked servant pointed.

It was a stall selling all kinds of flowers, and two women were standing in front of it; only their backs could be seen.

One of the figures was unremarkable, while the other, dressed in white, was remarkably slender.

The man in fine clothes immediately felt his mouth go dry and his lustful desires aroused.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up!"

He was impatient and immediately led a group of wicked servants over quickly.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any lotus flowers here? Preferably white ones." The two women seemed unaware of the commotion behind them, and the woman in white was still asking the stall owner if they had any white lotus flowers for sale.

"Miss, I'm so sorry, I don't sell lotus flowers here," the stall owner said apologetically. "Lotus flowers usually only grow in ponds. I've heard that there are many white lotuses in the Lotus Lake in Yunzhou City, and they should be in full bloom now..."

The stall owner's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he could no longer speak—the man in fine clothes had arrived at the stall with a group of thugs!

"What kind of flowers would you like to see, young lady? Young master has them all at home! Hahaha!"

The man in fine clothes stood behind the woman in white, his heart burning with desire as he gazed at her slender figure from behind.

"Come on, let's go home with the young master and see as many young ladies as we like! Hahaha."

He grinned lewdly and reached out to grab the woman in white...
