"Glug~"

Li Daoxuan swallowed hard.

He has a lot of XP.

He looked at Lu Xueqi with shining eyes.

"Husband...please don't...I'm scared..."

Lu Xueqi hadn't expected that a single sentence would provoke Li Daoxuan so much; she hadn't yet recovered from yesterday's frenzy.

If I were to be played like that again, I would be devastated, not to mention physically, I would be mentally broken.

"You can't go back on your word, okay? Let's go back and start now..."

Lu Xueqi looked up at the sky; it was only noon! Her legs trembled slightly.

"No, no! It's too early!"

Lu Xueqi shook her head repeatedly in refusal.

Li Daoxuan held the other person tightly and quickened his pace to hurry back.

"Husband! It'll break..."

Lu Xueqi looked at the other person pitifully.

"No, I've prepared some things for you this time."

Li Daoxuan smiled.

He bought some pills at the pill stall while he was strolling around.

They were all about improving physical fitness, and cost a total of five spirit stones.

Lu Xueqi didn't know that it was bought for her, since she wasn't a cultivator and thought that Li Daoxuan bought it to help with his cultivation.

Today's revenue: 0; expenses: 20; balance: 50.

......

Lu Xueqi pleaded and begged for mercy in every way along the way.

In the blink of an eye, I was back home.

"Go, take a good bath."

Li Daoxuan patted it; it felt great, and he never got tired of patting it.

"Hmm..."

Lu Xueqi looked resentful, but still took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

This time, Li Daoxuan didn't disturb them. He decided to save the anticipation for later; there was no point in sneaking a taste of the food beforehand.

Soon the two finished washing up.

bedroom.

Lu Xueqi tensed up when she noticed Li Daoxuan push the door open and enter.

"Okay, let's eat these first."

He helped Lu Xueqi, who was pretending to be dead, up and handed her some pills.

"This is?"

Lu Xueqi took it with a puzzled look.

"I bought these elixirs to strengthen my body because I saw that some cowardly woman who always complains that she can't take it anymore has a weak constitution, so that she won't say that I don't cherish my wife enough."

Li Daoxuan joked.

"Hmph! You scoundrel!"

Lu Xueqi said angrily.

Li Daoxuan chuckled, finding the other person so adorable, and couldn't resist rubbing their cheeks.

"Have you had enough fun, my husband...?"

Lu Xueqi's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"Cough! Eat it, I'll help you refine the pill."

Li Daoxuan said in a serious tone.

Lu Xueqi was just a mortal and did not have spiritual power to refine the food, so he needed to use his magic power to refine it after eating it.

a long time.

"I feel warm all over."

Lu Xueqi shared her feelings.

"That means your body has been strengthened. You just need to take it for a long time and your body will improve."

"Oh, right, take this fasting pill too."

Li Daoxuan took out another pill.

It's still early; we won't have time to eat once we start playing.

He was alright, but Lu Xueqi would definitely have run out of energy halfway through.

"My husband is feeding me..."

Lu Xueqi provoked.

"He's addicted to bad food."

Li Daoxuan laughed and scolded.

He fed it to him by hand. As for why he didn't use his mouth, the fasting pill would melt in his mouth and he would absorb it.

Unlike other pills, the Bigu Pill is a concentrated form of energy that can be easily absorbed by the human body without the need for magical refinement.

Li Daoxuan raised an eyebrow as he watched Lu Xueqi sucking her fingers.

Lu Xueqi gave her a provocative wink; after taking the pill, she felt like she could stand up again.

"Mmm... gulp~"

"ah--"

After swallowing the pill, Lu Xueqi opened her mouth for the other person to examine.

This move was taught to her by Li Daoxuan yesterday, and she's putting it to good use.

"Very good... It seems my wife is quite confident..."

If you were flirted with like that, which man could resist? Would you, the reader, be one of them?

Of course, everyone has a "wise man" mode; don't mistake a moment for a lifetime.

Lu Xueqi stood up slightly and stepped forward, giving him a gentle push with her hand.

Li Daoxuan obediently lay down.

"Is that so, my husband...?"

"Don't you think something's missing, my lady?"

Li Daoxuan spoke first.

What's missing?

Lu Xueqi was taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, she figured it out without being taught.

She licked her lips and smiled, "So that's how it is."

The silver threads flowed down, cool and refreshing.

"How is my husband?"

"It's just so-so."

Li Daoxuan spoke in a calm tone.

Lu Xueqi looked at his blissful expression and didn't believe him at all. He was just pretending even with that expression on his face.

So the two of them really started having fun.

[Cultivation Level +8]

[Spells +8]

...

...

The next day.

"Hmm!"

I stretched comfortably and got out of bed.

I had a really good time yesterday. I looked at Lu Xueqi, who was sitting there sulking, and smiled disdainfully.

That's it?

You need to take more pills to strengthen yourself.

"Time to get down to business."

I've had enough fun, it's time to continue earning spirit stones to support my family.

However, he doesn't plan to push himself as hard as before; in general, he will balance work and rest.

They carve talismans in the morning, sell them in the afternoon, and rest in the evening.

"Learn alchemy and weapon crafting as well."

Having made a plan in mind, Li Daoxuan also began to take action.

Time passed by day by day.

Li Daoxuan thoroughly enjoyed the leisure time he stole from his busy schedule; this was what cultivating immortality was all about, this was what life was all about.

Those who work 996 should all die.

And so, my first month in the Green Bamboo Forest passed.

This was also the day to collect rent.

Li Daoxuan hasn't sold many talismans these days. The market will only see a surge in demand once most people have used up their purchased talismans.

Top-grade talismans sell very well, but to avoid attracting too much attention, he only sells them once every ten days.

After deducting expenses, he now has 210 spirit stones left.

Looking at the crowds waiting outside from every household, Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and then went out as well.

There's a reason why everyone does this; there's no need for someone to stand out from the crowd.

"They're here."

Someone looked into the distance and said something.

Everyone spontaneously looked over.

Li Daoxuan was no exception; as the other party entered his perception, he couldn't help but frown.

Another guy whose cultivation level is impossible to sense.

Foundation building...

"Each of you prepare the rent."

Manager Zhao said something and then walked into the first house.

A male cultivator quickly went to greet him.

"Manager Zhao, this is this month's rent. Please accept it..."

The male cultivator flattered the Dao.

Manager Zhao weighed the amount in his hand: twelve spirit stones.

He patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and left to enter the next store.

"Not enough spirit stones? If you run out of money, just move out. There are plenty of people to live here."

Manager Zhao addressed the second household.

"Manager Zhao, please grant me a few more days. I was injured while hunting demonic beasts recently and overspent on spirit stones to buy pills. But I guarantee I will definitely gather the spirit stones within seven days."

This person was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and only had seven spirit stones left in his hand.

As for why we didn't move to the outer zone, just kidding. We're used to the five times higher spiritual energy concentration in the inner zone, who would want to go to the outer zone?

The man seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few words in Manager Zhao's ear.

Manager Zhao glanced at the female cultivator beside him; she was quite attractive.

"Manager Zhao, this is a wealthy woman I brought back from the mortal realm. Seeing that she has some low-grade spiritual roots, I invested some resources to support her."

The female cultivator's expression changed; she had been close enough to hear the two's plot clearly.

She pleaded in terror, "Husband, please don't! I don't want to serve other men."

"You should know that I gave you what you have today, so what's wrong with asking you to do something now?"

The male cultivator ignored it.

She was just a woman, and she had only reached the first level of Qi Refining. Giving her away was fine; they could just find another one later.

"Manager Zhao, this is a restriction within her body. From now on, she belongs to you."

The male cultivator flattered the Dao.

Manager Zhao nodded in satisfaction: "I'll cover the rest of the spirit stones for you. Make sure you have the spirit stones ready for next month."

"Okay, okay!"

The male cultivator said happily.

Although the others didn't know what they were plotting, they could guess a thing or two from the sight of the female cultivator crying her eyes out.

However, they didn't meddle, since this scene was quite common in the cultivation world.
