Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

"Once you enter the county government office, even if you are in the right, you will be wrong. You will be beaten until you beg for mercy. You will not get any good results, but you will be severely punished, end up with a lot of illnesses, and in the end, you will just die."

"So it's best to avoid getting involved with important figures in the county town, lest you accidentally end up in the county government office and get robbed of your position."

Li Lai nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Li Xingdao's words, but he did not forget to continue his threats and intimidation.

Li Xingdao outwardly smiled and pretended to be obedient, but a look of fear was also revealed on his face.

Following Li Lai's suggestion, we walked towards Peach Blossom Village while chatting with him.

But in his heart, he was already thinking about how the woodcutter and the fisherman could level up.

The woodcutter and the fisherman have both reached level 4, but they still need a huge amount of experience to level up.

Now that the brick kiln has taken on a tree-cutting job, the priority is to help the woodcutter upgrade his skills. However, it's unclear whether cutting down too many trees every day will attract their attention.

However, cutting down 30 trees a day is a bit much, but if we use the excuse of gaining strength from eating medicinal food here, it might be fine.

In that case, the remaining experience points might be earned in a little over a month.

Fishermen also need more than 1000 fish to gain experience points.

However, the fisherman has already gained a lot of experience points.

As the food supply at the brick kiln improved, the consumption of fish also increased, naturally requiring people to start fishing again.

If he can also get his hands on fishing, he might be able to raise both the fisherman and the woodcutter to level 5 in about the same amount of time.

By then, he will have the last attribute points, which will be the perfect opportunity to consider changing his class.

By then, even without changing to a new profession or acquiring new martial arts skills, he would no longer fear Li Lai and his ilk, thanks to the combined strength of these three professions and the combined power of their basic professions at max level.

Even now, with his current powerful attributes, he is no longer so afraid of fighting them.

No matter how many of them there are, my current strength makes me untouchable.

It can be said that with their current strength, they would be injured if they touched them, and killed if they were grazed.

In such a situation, even if they had weapons, they might not be able to hit themselves.

However, his naturally cautious nature made him subconsciously want to play it safe, which is why he didn't rush to take action.

After all, swords and spears have no eyes, and he hasn't reached the point where he's impervious to swords and spears yet. In a real fight, he'd easily lose sight of what's in front of him, since he doesn't have much martial arts experience.

However, if one is focused on the front and neglects the rear, and someone comes up behind them with an iron spear, one absolutely cannot withstand it.

Therefore, it's better to add some foundation if possible.

With this in mind, Li Xingdao smiled and agreed with Li Lai, and they went to Peach Blossom Village together.

After entering the village, it was already evening, and Zhang Cui had prepared dinner at home.

Li Xingdao immediately washed his hands, sat down in a chair with a smile, and began to eat the food that Zhang Cui had prepared.

Zhang Cui, with a gentle expression, served him food, sat next to him, and ate with him.

Li Lai chuckled as he washed off the dust, then sat down wearily to comfortably enjoy his meal. After his journey, he was basically certain that Li Xingdao really didn't intend to meet with the powerful figures in the county and pose any threat to them, which put his mind at ease.

So after having a good meal back home, I took a quick shower and went to bed to rest.

However, Li Lai went to rest, but Li Xingdao thought of what Li Lai had told him on the way—that he was tempted by Zhang Cui.

At this moment, his gaze stirred, and he thought that after his close encounter with Zhang Cui on his trip out of the city, he hadn't been close to her much during the busy farming season.

However, this doesn't seem to fit his image as a simple-minded young man.

While it's possible to cover things up with excuses like being busy with farm work, it's not so easy to feel at ease with certainty.

After all, normally speaking, a simpleton like him would be tempted to mess with a woman like that.

Thinking of this, Li Xingdao looked at Zhang Cui beside him, who was meek and submissive, just like his wife, and a smile appeared on his face.

He ate the last bit of his meal in big mouthfuls and then helped her wash the dishes.

He took a bath with her in the yard, and as soon as they dried off, he gently pulled her into his arms and carried her straight to the kitchen next door.

…………

As soon as I entered the kitchen, the broken wooden table creaked and groaned for quite some time before finally stopping.

Li Xingdao came out again with a smile, and he and Zhang Cui took a bath before comfortably returning to the inner room and lying in bed to sleep.

Zhang Cui, however, had a radiant complexion, as if she had just woken up. She nestled down next to Li Xingdao, fanning him with a fan until he fell asleep, then gently put the fan down. Yawning, she lay down on the bed inside and went to sleep.

……

The next morning, Li Xingdao, who had said he was going to work at the brick kiln, got up, ate breakfast, and went straight to the brick kiln.

Li Lai was very pleased to see this and took the initiative to take him to the brick kiln to meet people and arrange things.

When Li Xingdao arrived at the brick kiln again, he found that their scale had indeed expanded considerably, with two more people chopping wood, and they were all panting heavily, seemingly unable to keep up with the demand.

Li Xingdao's heart stirred slightly. He realized that this was why he had been called here. The availability of firewood was one of the most important factors in the production of a brick kiln.

Without enough firewood, even the largest orders can't be fired.

So when he arrived, he made the necessary arrangements, and without hesitation, he picked up a steel axe, found a spot, hung a kettle of water, and began to chop down the tree with all his might.

"Choo choo choo..."

The sound of an axe blade cutting into trees echoed continuously.

The sun sets in the west, time flows on...

With Li Xingdao carefully controlling his strength and calculating in his mind as he swung his axe, he chopped down a full 30 trees in a single day.

This progress is truly astonishing.

When he eats, he eats a huge amount of food at each meal, which is consistent with everyone's perception of his great strength.

However, Li Hen, the head of the brick kiln, and his deputy Li Nao, were not annoyed at all when they saw him like this. Instead, they smiled and were happy to let him eat more so that he could get back to work.

However, to Li Xingdao's surprise, it seemed that no one cared about why he had so much energy to work, and no one mentioned it.

However, despite this, in order to dispel their doubts, he deliberately said something during the first meal:

"This meat is fragrant, but it doesn't taste as good as medicinal cuisine. After eating medicinal cuisine, I feel like I have more energy."

After saying that, he at least tried to cover it up.

Li Xingdao then continued chopping wood as usual, making faster progress than others each day. He would bring home 30 eggs every day, which made Li Nao and Li Hen very happy.
