That night.
"Waaah..."
"It's all swollen..."
Lu Xueqi sobbed angrily.
Who knows what she went through that day? She fainted six times.
Li Daoxuan chuckled and used his magic to help nurture it.
With his cultivation level increasing, his physical condition also improved, leading to greater demands. Once he entered a state of deep concentration, he was unwilling to stop.
"Hmph! Don't do it again tomorrow."
Lu Xueqi turned her body away.
"Very well, I will look for other methods to help Xueqi embark on the path of immortality in the next few days."
Li Daoxuan coaxed him.
Actually, I was planning to get some spirit stones and see if there were any cultivation techniques of the lower-grade Yellow rank or higher.
I'm so anxious because I've been stuck at the level cap for so long.
However, I can't reveal my true purpose, as that would only diminish my emotional value.
[Ding! Your words made Lu Xueqi feel cared for, affection points +50!]
I'm sorry, honey, but I had no choice but to let you embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible.
Li Daoxuan looked apologetic.
Lu Xueqi has no spiritual root, so no matter what cultivation technique she uses, it won't be of any use. She can only raise her emotional value to level five to unlock special system functions.
What? You're asking how I can be so sure the system has hidden features?
Isn't it obvious at a glance? I don't believe the system will just watch the host's wife grow old and die.
That's impossible! There must be a hidden function!
After a barrage of sweet words, Lu Xueqi's mood improved considerably.
He turned around and looked at Li Daoxuan.
"Actually, it's not impossible here..."
Lu Xueqi touched her lips.
Li Daoxuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
He had wanted to try this place and that place before, but the other party absolutely refused and was very resistant.
If it weren't for the excuse of punishment last time, he wouldn't have been able to experience this kind of joy.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xueqi took the initiative to open another instance this time.
Sorrow is the best!
Seemingly sensing Li Daoxuan's growing interest, Lu Xueqi preemptively said, "Not now, let's wait until later..."
After saying that, she turned away again so the thief wouldn't have a chance to take advantage of her.
Li Daoxuan was not about to give up so easily.
He immediately flipped over and pinned him down.
Lu Xueqi hurriedly covered her mouth, regretting that she hadn't tried to start the fire.
He glared fiercely at the other party, trying to dissuade Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan grinned mischievously: "My wife, you started this fire, I can't let it go like this."
Lu Xueqi quickly begged for mercy: "No, not here! If you dare, I'll ignore you!"
Li Daoxuan pried open her hands, revealing her red lips.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time, but I want some other compensation."
"Stick your tongue out."
Seeing that Li Daoxuan had let her go, Lu Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief and had no choice but to obediently stick out her little tongue.
Li Daoxuan bent down with satisfaction.
...
...
The next day at noon.
After personally preparing the meal, Li Daoxuan went out to attend to his duties.
Arrive at the market in the inner district.
There are many monks setting up stalls and trading here.
Talismans, elixirs, cultivation techniques, spells, and so on.
Li Daoxuan was itching to try it.
He walked up to a cultivation manual stall and casually picked up a jade slip containing cultivation techniques to examine it.
"Fire Spirit Technique, Yellow Rank, Mid-Grade... Price: Five Spirit Stones..."
Li Daoxuan, who was not very clear about the concept of spirit stones, thought it was quite cheap.
I checked several other cultivation manuals, and they were all of the middle grade of the Yellow Rank, with no high-grade ones.
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
So he directly asked the stall owner why they didn't have any high-grade Yellow Rank cultivation techniques for sale.
The stall owner looked at Li Daoxuan as if he were an idiot, and said impatiently, "Only an idiot would sell a top-grade cultivation technique. The market is full of mid-grade ones."
Li Daoxuan noted this down; it seems that high-level cultivation techniques are quite scarce.
After exploring other stalls, Li Daoxuan gained a basic understanding of the concept of spirit stones.
I thought twenty spirit stones was a small amount, but now it seems like a huge sum of money!
According to the intelligence I just gathered, these cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining only earn a little over ten yuan a month. After deducting housing expenses, they have very little left.
This is still the inner zone; the outer zone is estimated to have even less income.
"It seems I need to put my cultivation aside for now and learn a skill to make money first."
We arrived at a stall.
"Give me a complete guide to first-tier talismans."
"Here you go, the price is ten spirit stones."
Seeing that there was a big customer, the stall owner quickly took out a book on talismans.
"Give me a stack of yellow paper talismans, or I won't buy it."
Upon hearing this, the stall owner froze, for a stack of yellow paper talismans cost a spirit stone.
He usually makes money by selling yellow paper talismans and talismans.
Well, considering they're a major client, I'll concede a little profit.
Li Daoxuan paid and left, satisfied.
As for why he chose talismans as a money-making skill instead of alchemy...
Alchemy requires spending money to buy medicinal herbs, and the chances of making mistakes are low; he doesn't have any extra spirit stones.
I'll start this side business of alchemy when I have more money.
"Hopefully my guess is right..."
After quickly returning home, Li Daoxuan went to the cultivation room to study.
As dusk approached, he finally managed to memorize the knowledge about talisman making.
"Damn, this is even more obscure and difficult to understand than the problems I solved in my past life."
Li Daoxuan complained.
Just memorizing the key points is exhausting for him; he doesn't know how long it will take to even get a basic understanding. He knows his own comprehension level is just average.
Now it's time to verify our guesses.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw Lu Xueqi waiting at the dining table.
Li Daoxuan felt a warmth in his heart and walked over to sit down at the dining table: "If I miss a meal while cultivating, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me."
"Husband, you've finished your cultivation. I'll go heat up the food. Of course, it's better for two people to eat together."
Lu Xueqi came to her senses.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and instructed, "Listen to me, I will occasionally go into seclusion, you can't go without eating."
I must say that although I don't need to go into seclusion to cultivate normally, it still takes a long time to master some new techniques and spells.
"All right..."
Lu Xueqi wrote it down.
The two quickly finished their dinner.
Seeing Lu Xueqi enter the bathroom, Li Daoxuan rolled his eyes and followed her.
bathroom.
Lu Xueqi held the doorway tightly.
"You bad guy! Don't come in!"
"No, we haven't tried places like this before."
Li Daoxuan chuckled; he had long wanted to unlock new locations.
Easily broke through the opponent's defenses and squeezed into the bathroom.
Lu Xueqi sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to escape.
Li Daoxuan was not about to grant her wish; she was already inside.
"I won't do anything reckless this time..."
He deceived them in this way.
"I don't believe it!"
Lu Xueqi blushed.
"Click~"
The door was locked, so Li Daoxuan quickly undressed her and carried her into the bathtub.
"Don't go into strange places."
Lu Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief, then tightly covered one spot, fearing the other party might do something reckless.
"Alright."
Li Daoxuan nodded in agreement. He was here today to test his guesses, so he didn't make any demands.
[Cultivation Level +8]
[Experience points maxed out, please...]
[Talisman Insight +8]
It really works!
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally relaxed.
With one major problem solved, he fully immersed himself in playing.
Seeing Lu Xueqi relax and become more alert, Li Daoxuan smirked.
...............
"Don't!"
Lu Xueqi was startled.
She tried to slap it away, but Li Daoxuan wouldn't let her have her way.
The resistance was easily suppressed.
Soon, as time went by, Lu Xueqi succumbed to the double pleasure.
