Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

"Cough cough~ cough cough!"

"Where am I?!"

Li Daoxuan woke up and tried to sit up, but found that his whole body ached.

"Brother Li, get up. Don't move. You're covered in injuries."

Qin Xiao pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Li Daoxuan was about to get up, she quickly said, "!"

When Li Daoxuan saw Qin Xiao enter, he asked, "Brother Qin, have you seen my sword?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to the longsword on the wooden table in the room and laughed, "Brother Li, you really are something. You're not worried about your injuries when you just woke up, but you're concerned about that sword. But what's strange is that you can't put that sword into your storage ring."

Li Daoxuan finally relaxed and casually said, "It's nothing. That sword is extremely important to me. However, I still want to thank Brother Qin for saving my life. I will definitely remember it!"

Qin Xiao smiled and shook his head, slightly apologetic, and said, "Brother Li, please don't say that. It was my fault that you were ambushed and seriously injured by the demon race in my Xuanwu City. I should be apologizing to you."

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "One thing at a time, but I, Li Daoxuan, will definitely remember this favor."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse Li Daoxuan, Qin Xiao didn't say anything and changed the subject, saying, "However, I didn't expect Brother Li to be so strong. You were able to hold your own against a nine-tailed fox demon in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm for an hour. Otherwise, we wouldn't have made it this far!"

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know why, but that fox demon didn't seem to want to kill me."

Qin Xiao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Brother Li, what makes you say that?"

Li Daoxuan became somewhat solemn and said, "I remember I was walking down the street when I came to a brothel and heard a beautiful zither tune. For some reason, I stayed and listened to the whole piece. After that, I didn't see anything else. I was trapped in the illusion. Although it was dangerous, if, as you say, Brother Qin, that fox demon was a Tribulation Transcending expert, how could she have let me hold out until you arrived? Isn't that strange?"

Qin Xiao fell into deep thought. After a while, he said apologetically to Li Daoxuan, "Brother Li, I still have some things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

Li Daoxuan nodded.

Qin Xiao looked at Li Daoxuan apologetically again before hurriedly walking out. Li Daoxuan seemed to hear Qin Xiao call out "Commander Su" after she left.

However, Li Daoxuan didn't care; it was someone else's business and had nothing to do with him.

"Right now, the most important thing is to recover, at least to be able to move around freely."

Li Daoxuan thought to himself silently.

"Buzz~"

Just as Li Daoxuan was thinking about how to recover his body, a warm power slowly nourished his body.

And a few more words appeared in Li Daoxuan's mind:

"The Tao follows nature, the Tao is the essence, returning to simplicity and authenticity, all Taos..."

Just after Wan Dao, Li Daoxuan felt a sharp pain in his head and fainted.

When I woke up again, it was already noon.

"What do those words mean? I once heard my master say that I am a Dao body, so these are hints given to me by the Dao body. What do these hints mean?"

Li Daoxuan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he gave up and decided to take it one step at a time.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Brother Li, I'm coming in!"

Outside the door, Qin Xiao, carrying lunch, knocked on the door of Li Daoxuan's room!

Li Daoxuan sat up, got out of bed, and opened the door for Qin Xiao: "Brother Qin, there's no need to deliver it personally; just have a servant bring it!"

Qin Xiao, who was just about to push open the door, froze in mid-air when she saw the door suddenly opened by Li Daoxuan.

Seeing Qin Xiao staring straight at him, Li Daoxuan was puzzled and moved his hand in front of Qin Xiao's face: "Brother Qin, are you... alright?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Qin Xiao coughed awkwardly three times, then pointed inside and said, "Brother Li, let's go inside and talk!"

"Indeed, it was my presumption. Brother Qin, please!"

Li Daoxuan made room for Qin Xiao and took the lunchbox from her.

"Brother Li, you can walk now!"

Inside the room, Qin Xiao looked at Li Daoxuan pouring tea for her, and was extremely shocked!

Li Daoxuan looked at Qin Xiao with some surprise and asked, "Brother Qin, what makes you say that?"

Qin Xiao realized there was a problem with what he said and quickly said, "Brother Li, please don't misunderstand. What I meant was that a cultivator's spiritual energy is depleted, and it would take at least seven days before they could get up and walk. It's a bit of a surprise that you were able to get out of bed and walk after only half a day!"

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "I happen to have a spiritual herb here that can cure the aftereffects of spiritual energy depletion!"

"I see!"

Qin Xiao nodded.

Qin Xiao looked at Li Daoxuan and asked, "Brother Li, where are you going next?"

Li Daoxuan didn't try to hide anything, saying, "I don't have a destination yet. I was thinking of staying in Xuanwu City for a while. That's why I was planning to visit you, Brother Qin, this accident happened!"

When Qin Xiao heard Li Daoxuan say that he would be staying temporarily in Xuanwu City, he was quite pleased and said, "Brother Li, I have a mansion here that is not yet occupied. I would like to lend it to you. I hope you will not find it offensive!"

Qin Xiao originally intended to give it directly to Li Daoxuan, but he felt that Li Daoxuan would not accept it. He could only say that he was lending it to him temporarily. In fact, if Qin Xiao gave it directly to Li Daoxuan, Li Daoxuan would not accept it!

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Qin!"

"Hehe, it's alright, it's alright."

Qin Xiao smiled and waved, then handed Li Daoxuan a key, gave him an address, and left!

"I owe someone another favor!"

Li Daoxuan smiled helplessly!

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Li Daoxuan decided to first go and see the mansion that Qin Xiao had given him.

Upon arriving at the mansion, I noticed that it appeared to have just been cleaned.

The words "Li Residence" had appeared on the door at some point!

"Brother Qin, you are truly generous!"

After Li Daoxuan sighed, he took out the key and opened the gate. He looked at the surprisingly large courtyard. The side rooms on both sides were already quite large, but the main house was twice the size of the side rooms!

"Tap, tap, tap"

As the sound of hooves approached, a troop of soldiers clad in armor and wielding spears rode up on horseback.

Li Daoxuan went outside to take a look.

Upon seeing Li Daoxuan leave, the leading squad leader hurriedly dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and respectfully said, "Lord Li, the city lord has instructed us to bring the steward and maids..."

The stewards and maids had already dismounted from the carriage when the squad leader dismounted.

Looking at the people who had come down, Li Daoxuan said to the squad leader, "I'll take the man. Please convey my thanks to City Lord Qin!"

"I will certainly relay this message!"

After the squad leader finished speaking, he got up and led his squad away on horseback.

Li Daoxuan summoned the oldest among them, who was also the steward. Unexpectedly, this steward was also a cultivator, and his cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage, but only at the early stage.

Li Daoxuan spoke with his steward and told him to make arrangements as he pleased. Afterward, Li Daoxuan went to the Tianji Pavilion, the tallest building in Xuanwu City.
