Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

The Azure Demons are similar in size to humans, but their skin is greenish-blue and has many tattoo-like patterns. They are known for their speed.

I used my divine sense to scan the surroundings and found nothing unusual.

Lu Yan gave the character "ghost" to all the prizes he won in the three-month-long lucky draw.

After consuming the Divine Soul Origin, his spiritual sense greatly increased. Currently, he is ostensibly a level six demonic soldier and a level seven Qi refinement cultivator, but he possesses the physical attributes to deal with level eight demonic soldiers, plus the spiritual sense strength of a level nine Qi refinement cultivator, making him incredibly powerful.

If that frost demon reappears, I won't let her get close again.

With his eyes fixed on the direction of Star River Fortress, Lu Yan began his journey.

By the time they arrived at Xinghebao, it was already early Shenshi (3 PM to 5 PM).

Sure enough, upon entering Star River Fortress, he found his wanted posters everywhere, inside and outside the city, accusing him of murdering eight Star River Fortress guards, a heinous crime.

Seeing this, Lu Yan smiled and ignored it. He found a place to rent a courtyard and then tried to find a way to continue working on the magic stones.

After looking around, I found that there were only two places with the most money: the Demon General's mansion and the Demon Arena.

We can forget about the Demon Lord's mansion for now; it's too dangerous. But we can make plans for the Demon Arena.

Lu Yan had inquired and found out that there were a total of three level 10 magic soldiers in the entire Star River Fortress. Two of them guarded the mines outside the fortress, and the remaining one was in the Demon Arena.

Besides level 10 magical soldiers, you also need to be careful with level 8 and 9 magical soldiers.

A direct assault is definitely not going to work, since this is demon territory after all. The last time we managed to escape, we were mostly lucky because the other side didn't know our strength and didn't take us seriously.

After much thought, I decided to start with a battle. This time, I'll simply join the Demon Arena and then act covertly.

After finalizing the plan, Lu Yan began to take action.

At the end of the You hour (5-7 PM), Lu Yan once again came to the Demon Fighting Arena to register for the competition.

"Now, please welcome Ai Renqi, a level six demon soldier of the Azure Demon Clan." With the demon in charge's shout, Lu Yan quickly stepped forward.

"His opponent was also a level six demon soldier, and one of our old acquaintances, Hua west of the multi-armed demon clan."

Moreover, he has now achieved three victories, although not a winning streak, his strength is still formidable.

"Hua west!"

"Hua west!"

The moment the multi-armed demon appeared, he was greeted with cheers from the demons present.

"Come on, come on, place your bets! This Ai Renqi is 5 to 1, it's worth considering!" the man in charge of placing bets shouted.

"I bet Huaxi, five magic stones."

"I'm also betting on Huaxi, four magic stones."

"Why don't you all consider that Green Demon? His odds are very high!" Seeing that everyone was betting on the Multi-Armed Demon Hua Xi, the demon in charge of the betting reminded them.

"What's the use of high odds? Is he even a match for Huaxi?"

"That's right, it's just a mere Azure Demon. I wonder how many moves it can withstand."

The demons who placed their bets didn't buy it at all.

Meanwhile, the match on the other side is about to begin.

"The match begins." After saying this, the mastermind quickly withdrew.

"Kid, I hope you have some strength, otherwise I'll tear you apart today." The multi-armed demon had six hands, each holding a knife, and pointed all six knives forward, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

"Enough with the nonsense." Lu Yan drew a thin knife and launched the first attack.

"Heh~ Since you're so impatient, I'll send you to meet your ancestors today." The multi-armed demon Hua west was unconcerned about Lu Yan's attack, and at the same time brandished his six swords.

As soon as Lu Yan gets close, he will face six knives attacking him from all directions.

It has to be said that having more arms does have its advantages; in a fight, it's like three against one. But it's far from enough in front of Lu Yan.

"Go Huaxi!"

"Kill him! Chop him into eight pieces!"

But as they kept shouting, they realized something was wrong.

What was initially thought to be a one-sided battle turned out to be a passive one for Huaxi.

Under Lu Yan's offensive, Hua west could only barely hold on.

Six arms seemed to give them an advantage, but at this moment they appeared to be in a state of disarray.

Because Lu Yan was too fast, the multi-armed demon didn't have time to react and could only passively defend.

……

"As expected of Qingmo, who is known for his speed, Huaxi is about to lose." The manager in the back said after seeing this.

"Should we save Huaxi?" the Devourer asked from the side.

"No need. That multi-armed demon is indeed very strong, but don't we have something more suitable now?" The steward smiled and said directly.

"I see."

……

Just as the manager had said, Lu Yan exchanged a few more blows with the multi-armed demon on the stage. Suddenly, Lu Yan exerted his strength, and the blade flashed across his body like a shadow.

Then the multi-armed demon Hua west lost his life and collapsed to the ground, his head rolling a long way before stopping.

"Ah—my magic stones! The magic stones I painstakingly accumulated!" Hua west didn't cry out in pain, but many demons on the stands did.

"Ten magic stones! Ten magic stones! Just like that, gone? Wasn't Hua Xi very strong? How could this happen?"

"I even mortgaged my weapons, and now I'm in trouble. It will take me several months of mining to pay it off."

The wails of pain echoed continuously from the stands.

However, the demon in charge of betting at the Demon Arena was all smiles, having made a considerable profit this time, and looked at Lu Yan with great satisfaction.

"Do you want to continue?" the master demon asked Lu Yan while waving his hand to instruct his men to clean up the corpse of the multi-armed demon.

"Let's continue naturally." Lu Yan appeared quite relaxed at this moment.

"Alright." The mastermind nodded and went down to arrange an opponent for Lu Yan.

A moment later, the mastermind returned to the stage and shouted, "Please welcome Qingmo Airenqi's new opponent, Limo Duolong!"

After the presiding demon finished speaking, a powerful demon with bulging muscles entered the stage, wielding a large hammer and walking with a powerful and resounding gait.

"Bet! Bet! Limo Doron is 1 to 2, double the odds, everyone bet on Doron!" Moye, who was in charge of placing bets, started shouting loudly.

"Who should we bet on this time?" Seeing this scene, the demon who was about to place a bet was a little unsure.

"Bet on Doron."

"But that Blue Demon is very strong, and there's a high chance that Duolong is no match for him."

"Not necessarily. Don't be fooled by how relaxed Qingmo looks. He must have used up a lot of magic power in the battle just now. It's still uncertain who will win this battle."

"That makes sense. Besides, the Strength Demon clan is known for its strong stamina, good endurance, and decent defense. They might be able to wear down that Green Demon."

"Most importantly, I really dislike the name 'Azure Demon,' it makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Huh? We feel about the same way."

"Then we'll buy Doron."

As the betting ended, Lu Yan and the power demon began to engage in battle.

Knowing that Lu Yan was a formidable opponent, the Power Demon didn't dare to utter any harsh words. He held his large hammer horizontally in front of him and looked at Lu Yan with a wary expression.
