1: Adventures on the Road

"Thirty years have passed!"

"How many thirty years can one have in a lifetime?"

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of the young man's black hair. With his robes fluttering in the wind, he truly possessed a touch of Immortal Qi.

A handsome young man stood there with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, perfectly fitting the line:

"A dashing youth of the sect, raising his cup and gazing at the azure sky, bright as a jade tree standing in the wind."

The only pity was the thick trace of sorrow in the man's eyes, which ruined this ink-wash painting of a scene.

Li Daoxuan had Transmigrated to this cultivation world thirty years ago. Although he still looked eighteen, he was truly middle-aged, and the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

By a stroke of Opportunity, Li Daoxuan joined the Heavenly Dao Sect and became an Outer Sect Disciple. It had now been exactly thirty years.

However, his cultivation level was still stuck at the Peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, and he had never been able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The hot-blooded youth who once longed to fly through the sky, burrow into the earth, and move mountains and fill seas would eventually have his edges smoothed away by reality, leading to a return to mediocrity.

Gazing at the cloud-piercing Tiandao Peak, Li Daoxuan murmured softly: "Sigh! Since there is no hope for cultivation and the path to Immortality is severed, I should start planning for the future!"

"If I cannot become an Immortal, there is nothing wrong with being a wealthy man in the Mortal world without worries about food or clothing!"

Li Daoxuan was a very decisive person. Since he had made up his mind, he would act immediately.

Li Daoxuan walked out of the Heavenly Dao Sect with a light step, though he turned back to take a few more looks at the Heavenly Dao Sect before leaving.

There were no tearful farewells, he told no fellow disciples, and there was not a single old friend to see him off.

Li Daoxuan quickly formed a plan in his mind: after leaving the Heavenly Dao Sect, he would settle down in the Great Zhou and choose a relatively livable city.

As for why he chose the Great Zhou, it was because the Great Zhou was a vassal state of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and also because the Great Zhou was relatively prosperous and stable, making life more comfortable there.

At the thought of the Great Zhou, one name immediately floated into his mind: Tianshui City!

Li Daoxuan had been to Tianshui City more than once. The scenery there was beautiful, it was like spring all year round, and it was the place Li Daoxuan most favored for settling down.

"Hahaha... Then I will go to Tianshui City, buy a super quadrangle courtyard, marry a few wives, and have a bunch of children. This life will be absolutely wonderful!"

"Isn't this much more comfortable than bitter cultivation every day!"

Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan's mood improved significantly, and he no longer obsessed over seeking the Dao of Immortality.

As for giving up cultivation, it wouldn't go that far.

Without powerful strength, even if one possessed vast wealth, it would all be in vain.

[Ding~ Congratulations on realizing the highest truth of cultivation.]

[The Many Children, Many Blessings System is binding... Binding successful.]

[Please activate the System as soon as possible, Master.]

Li Daoxuan was stunned. What the hell? Isn't the highest truth of cultivation great freedom, great ease, and eternal life?

The Many Children, Many Blessings System? And it needs to be activated?

"System, how do I activate it?"

[Marry a wife and have children.]

Li Daoxuan was instantly extremely excited. This was too simple!

Let's go!

As Li Daoxuan sped through the high mountains and steep ridges, he planned for the future: first, take a few wives and concubines.

Just as he was about to walk out of the dense forest, Li Daoxuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Swish!

Li Daoxuan quickly drew his sword, his body tense, assuming a defensive posture.

He sniffed hard. With Li Daoxuan's rich wilderness survival experience and his perception of danger, he sensed that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong!"

"There is a smell of blood!"

"But it doesn't seem like there is any danger."

Li Daoxuan still did not relax at all but carefully observed his surroundings. Soon, Li Daoxuan made a major discovery.

"There seems to be a figure over there!"

Li Daoxuan saw a figure in the distance, lying there motionless. When he approached and looked closely, even Li Daoxuan was a bit shocked!

What kind of hatred is this? What kind of grudge is this?

The figure was wearing a white gauze Immortal skirt—no, wait! At this moment, the white gauze Immortal skirt was almost entirely stained red with blood.

Even from far away, one could see the terrifying wounds on the person, and fresh blood was still spurting out continuously.

Li Daoxuan lifted his foot to move forward, but then hesitated!

This person should already be dead, right!

Li Daoxuan originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but the hot blood in his heart hadn't completely cooled down yet.

"Ugh... Hiss~~"

A painful groan rang out, and Li Daoxuan decided to save her life.

"Sigh! Forget it! Meeting is fate, and encountering me means it is not your time to die."

"I will do one last good deed!"

Li Daoxuan approached the figure, but his sword remained tightly gripped in his hand to prevent the person from suddenly attacking.

"Hey! You aren't dead yet, make a sound!"

Only after getting close did Li Daoxuan confirm that this was a woman. As for her appearance, heh! At this moment, the woman's disheveled hair completely covered her face.

After confirming there was no danger, Li Daoxuan took action.

"Good! Still breathing! It's lucky for you that you ran into me."

Li Daoxuan was worried again; this wilderness was really inconvenient.

However, seeing the blood gushing out of the person, Li Daoxuan decided to simply treat the wounds first; otherwise, this person would probably be dead before reaching a town.

"It's a good thing I have hemostatic powder on me!"

Li Daoxuan discovered that there were nine major wounds on the woman, not to mention the many smaller ones.

"Here we go!"

Li Daoxuan, this steel-straight man of the cultivation world, showed absolutely no tenderness toward the fair sex; he directly hoisted the injured woman onto his shoulder and sprinted toward Tianshui City.

The good news was that Tianshui City was not very far away, and with Li Daoxuan's speed, he soon arrived at Tianshui City.

Without hesitation, he directly bought a quadrangle courtyard at a high price. This residence was located in the suburbs of Tianshui City and covered an area of more than ten mu.

The residence had mountains and water, and even better, it came with ten young and beautiful maidservants.

Buy, buy, buy!

Gold and silver were no issue for Li Daoxuan! Cultivators might lack Cultivation Techniques, Magic Treasures, or Medicinal Pills, but they would absolutely never lack worldly gold and silver jewelry.

After buying the residence, Li Daoxuan didn't even have time to look around; he carried the person directly to a quiet room.

After placing the woman on the bed, Li Daoxuan finally carefully examined her condition.

The wounds were no longer spurting blood!

Li Daoxuan reached out to check the woman's pulse. Hmm! It was beating much more strongly.

A wisp of spiritual power entered the woman's body as he tried to examine her injuries.

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap, crap!"

Li Daoxuan jumped straight up, his face full of disbelief and shock!

In fact, Li Daoxuan had long guessed it. Just looking at the woman's external injuries, Li Daoxuan knew that this was definitely something no Mortal could endure.

Therefore, this woman must also be a cultivator.

But after checking the woman's physical condition, Li Daoxuan was shocked.

"Sigh!"

"What on earth has this girl been through?"

"I don't know what kind of trouble I will get into for helping this time!"

"I originally planned to stay away from the cultivation world, come to a place where no one knows me, and live a peaceful life."

"But now it seems I've gotten into trouble again."
