"Tsk tsk, is this the ancient city of Fuzhou? It's truly magnificent." Li Daoyi led the blue ox to the city gate and looked up at the three large characters of Fuzhou City.

The strange combination of the man and the ox attracted the attention of those around them, but when they saw that Li Daoyi was dressed as a Taoist priest, their eyes showed respect.

“Come on, Niu Er, let’s go inside and find a place to stay.”

The soldiers guarding the city gate made no attempt to stop Li Daoyi from entering; instead, they nodded politely. Being stationed at the city gate indicated they had good judgment; generally, aside from high-ranking officials and nobles, they wouldn't stop wandering martial arts heroes, monks, or Taoist priests.

"Wow, this is really lively."

Upon entering the city, Li Daoyi was greeted by bustling streets. Looking at this scene, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he accompanied his master down the mountain to the market when he was a child.

Leading the cow, we walked around, looking at everything with great curiosity.

Suddenly, the blue ox nudged Li Daoyi, who was still not satisfied, with its horn.

"what?"

"Moo..."

The blue ox let out a soft moo.

“Yeah, we need to find a place to stay.” Li Daoyi looked up at the sky and slapped his forehead as he said.

"But I'm penniless. I should have gotten some money from that kid," Li Daoyi said helplessly.

Just then, the blue ox raised its head and sniffed around the street, then shook its head toward a street to the east.

"You mean over there?" Li Daoyi asked, puzzled.

"Moo..."

Then, the man and the ox walked eastward. After walking for a long time, the number of people on the street gradually decreased. There were low buildings all around, and children were playing in twos and threes. When they saw Li Daoyi, they all curiously gathered around.

Wow, what a huge cow!

"Look, its horns are so long."

The children were not shy.

"Big brother, can I touch the cow?" At this moment, a little girl with pigtails and rosy cheeks, about five or six years old, asked timidly.

Li Daoyi stopped.

"Of course you can, touch it, it won't hurt you." Li Daoyi bent down and gently rubbed the little girl's head.

The little girl gently placed her small hand on the ox's belly; she was only tall enough to touch the ox's belly.

"Wow, it's so soft!" The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Big brother, I want to touch it too."

"I want one too, I want one too."

Immediately, a large group of children started shouting.

Li Daoyi naturally wouldn't refuse, and the children all surrounded the green ox and began to stroke it, filling the air with laughter and joy.

Seeing that it was almost time, Li Dao asked the children.

"Little ones, do you know where there's a place to stay around here?"

“Big brother, this is the outer city, there are no inns here, you have to go back,” said a slightly older child.

Li Daoyi knew all about inns, but he had no money.

"No need to stay in an inn, just a place to sleep for one night is fine."

"I know, I know," the little girl who was the first to touch the blue ox quickly replied.

"Oh! Little sister, do you know?"

"Yes, there's a house next to my house that belongs to my uncle. They moved to the capital. Big brother, I'll take you there. My mother has the key, so you can stay there for the night." The little girl spoke clearly despite her young age.

“Well… then I’ll go with you to take a look.” Li Dao nodded.

The little girl's house wasn't far; it was just a hundred meters ahead.

The little girl rushed in.

"It seems this child comes from a decent family." Li Daoyi looked at the house and nodded. Although they weren't a wealthy or powerful family, they were comfortably well-off.

Soon, footsteps were heard, and a woman came out leading a little girl.

"Mommy, this is the big brother! Look how big this cow is! I just touched it!" the little girl said happily.

The lady was pretty and clearly from a respectable family; she appeared to be around thirty years old. Upon seeing Li Daoyi's attire, she quickly curtsied, and her previous hesitation vanished instantly.

"So you're a Taoist priest," the woman said.

"Greetings, Madam. This humble Taoist is very polite," Li Daoyi said, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Mom, quickly open the door to Uncle's house so that Big Brother can stay for the night," the little girl urged.

"Yes, yes, yes," the woman said repeatedly.

"Will this be inconvenient for you, Madam?"

"No, no, this house is already vacant, so of course you can stay here, Daoist Master." Perhaps because Li Daoyi was a Daoist, the woman was very hospitable.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Soon, the door to the next room was opened, but embarrassingly, the blue ox was too big to fit inside.

"Cough... You need to lose weight. You'll be sleeping outside tonight!"

"Moo..."

The blue ox didn't mind and nodded.

"What an intelligent ox!" the woman exclaimed.

This is a small courtyard, very clean, obviously cleaned by a woman who comes here often.

“My younger brother works for the government, but he was transferred to the capital at the beginning of the year, so this courtyard has been empty ever since,” the woman explained.

"Please go ahead, Daoist Master." After saying that, the woman took the child and left the courtyard. After all, Li Daoyi was a man, and she didn't want to stay any longer.

"Not bad. In modern times, it would definitely be a luxurious courtyard house." Li Daoyi looked around.

"system."

Li Daoyi shouted.

Soon an interface appeared in front of him, an interface that only he could see.

"Mythology System".

“Host, Li Daoyi.”

“Cultivation level: First level of Qi Refining”

"Amazing value: 10".

"After all that time, Lin Pingzhi only gave me ten points," Li Daoyi said, somewhat dissatisfied.

That's right, Li Daoyi is not from this world.

He came from modern Earth and was an orphan without parents. He was found by an old Taoist priest by the river. Li Daoyi was very puzzled. Who would abandon their child and throw them into the river? How irresponsible!

The old Taoist priest said that it was a gift from heaven, a claim he naturally dismissed.

After being adopted, Li Daoyi studied under the old Taoist priest from a young age. Later, he was sent to the city to study until he graduated from high school at the age of eighteen. He had already been admitted to university, but the old Taoist priest was already old, so Li Daoyi gave up his studies and returned to the Taoist temple to take care of the old man. A year later, before the old Taoist priest passed away, Li Daoyi officially grew his hair and entered the Taoist sect.

After the old Taoist priest died, Li Daoyi lived with the green ox he had raised since childhood. Occasionally, he would go down the mountain to perform rituals for the villagers in the surrounding area. He was lazy by nature and had no great dreams. He gradually got used to this kind of life until this day.

I originally planned to take the ox for a walk, but as soon as I untied the reins, it took off running and headed straight into the mountains.

Li Daoyi hurriedly chased after him, not knowing what had gotten into this guy.

To everyone's surprise, a thick fog rolled in as soon as they entered the mountains. It wasn't until they heard the sound of cattle mooing that Li Daoyi followed the sound.

But then they saw a large pit that had appeared in the forest at some point, filled with mist. The mist in the mountains was coming from the pit, and at that moment, the green ox was standing in front of the pit.

"Moo..." The blue ox turned around and roared at him.

"Damn, you came here because of this pit?" Li Daoyi was speechless.

After Li Daoyi finished speaking, he stepped forward and glanced into the pit. Just then, a sudden change occurred. The white mist suddenly emitted a golden light, and then he was sucked into the pit by a powerful suction force.

"Damn it..." Li Daoyi only managed to utter one curse before losing consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying next to the blue ox, and the scenery around him was no longer the familiar mountains and forests; the trees were all different.

Just as he was filled with doubt, a voice rang in his mind.

"Loading successful."

"Mythology System activated."

Immediately afterwards, a panel appeared in front of Li Daoyi.

"Host: Li Daoyi".

Pet: Blue Ox.

Cultivation level: None (Peak Mortal).

"..."

Li Daoyi was stunned for a full minute before he came to his senses.

"Isn't this ridiculous, System?" Li Daoyi muttered.

"The host does not need to speak; he only needs to call out in his mind."

"The Mythology System is at your service. Please see the basic information for details."

Suddenly, a flood of information rushed into my mind.

After a long while, Li Daoyi let out a long sigh.

I really have a new system, a mythological system, and this isn't the original world anymore. As usual, I've transmigrated. Oh, and there's Niu Er too.

The mythological system allows him to obtain other people's "amazement points" through various means. These points can be exchanged for items within the system, including all kinds of Taoist techniques, immortal arts, supernatural powers, and magical treasures.

Of course, the system wasn't stingy either, giving out a newbie gift pack. Inside, you'd find a precious sword, a genuine magic weapon, along with a Qi Refining Pill and a Spirit Beast Pill, clearly prepared for him and the Green Ox.

What happened next was his chance encounter with Lin Pingzhi, which made him realize that he was in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

"Open the store."

"Whoosh..."

The interface in front of you changes, and a wide variety of products are listed one by one.

"Qi Refining Pill, 100 points." Points are also known as astonishment value.

"Foundation Building Pill, 10,000 points."

"Closed, closed." After watching just two, Li Daoyi instantly lost interest. With only ten points, he wasn't worthy of continuing.

"Luckily, I had those Qi Refining Pills before, otherwise I wouldn't have any confidence in this world." After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a flame appeared on his fingertips.

This is the mark of a Qi cultivator, who is able to use basic spells.

"Knock knock..."

"Master Daoist, Master Daoist."

"Big brother, open the door quickly."

Just then, the voices of a woman and a little girl came from outside the door.

Li Daoyi quickly opened the door and saw that the mother and daughter were both holding things.

"I imagine you haven't eaten yet, so this is a little something I made. I hope you won't find it offensive," the woman said with a smile.

"Big brother, this is tea." The little girl also carried a teapot and teacup, smiling and chatting.

Li Daoyi felt a warmth in his heart. As a newcomer, he had to admit that he was lucky to have met such kind people.

"Thank you so much, big sister," Li Daoyi said gratefully. Even his form of address changed unconsciously.

The woman was taken aback at first, then smiled, clearly pleased that the other person called her "big sister," finding it more intimate.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, Daoist Master. Please finish your meal and get some rest."

The mother and daughter then said goodbye and left.

Looking at the aroma of food wafting from the basket in his hand, and feeling the warmth of the teapot, Li Daoyi felt inexplicably moved.
