The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The short and fat monk brought the monk named Duan to Xiao Han's stall.

Monk Duan took out a damaged low-level defensive shield and handed it to Xiao Han, saying, "Take a look at this. How many spirit stones can I give you?"

Xiao Han took it and looked at it. It was a defensive shield made directly from the shell of a second-level land tortoise.

Unfortunately, after the turtle shell was damaged, a crack appeared. As a result, it not only could not absorb spiritual power, but also lost its own defense.

This turtle shell is not like other refining materials. It relies on a solid piece of strength to defend itself. Now that it is broken in the middle, and the turtle itself was only a second-level when it was alive, which is equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training, its cultivation level is not high. After being damaged, it has no value at all.

But Xiao Han thought of its other value, which is to use it as a medicinal material.

So he said, "This tortoise shell is not like other magical instruments. It can be smelted. Once it's broken, it's worthless. How about this, since you came to me specifically to sell your damaged magical instrument, I'll offer you twenty spirit stones. Will you sell it?"

Monk Duan hesitated for a moment and threw the tortoise shell in his hand to Xiao Han.

He had also asked several weapon refiners, but they all told him to just throw it away. A second-level demon beast wasn't worth much in itself, let alone a damaged tortoise shell.

Then, he took out another magical weapon and asked Xiao Han, "This mid-grade halberd of mine is only slightly damaged. If you want it back, how many spirit stones can you give me?"

This monk and the short and fat monk are both hunting monks. Since they often fight with monsters and beasts, their magic weapons are naturally damaged.

If it was a discarded magical instrument, you could sell it off at a slightly lower price. However, if it was damaged beyond repair or slightly damaged and you didn't dare use it anymore, it would be the most annoying thing to keep it in your possession.

Xiao Han took the halberd, looked at it, and said, "It's hard for me to give you a price. You can take it to a weapon refiner to have a look. It should be able to be repaired."

Monk Duan said angrily, "Those weapon refiners are asking for 500 spirit stones for repairs. This magical weapon of mine is made from materials I made myself and had a weapon refiner refine it. The cost of refining it was only 700 spirit stones back then. Now, repairing it costs 500 spirit stones. It's too expensive."

Then, he added sincerely, "I heard that you are a weapon refining apprentice. You can buy it and ask your master to repair it for you. Once it's repaired, whether you keep it for yourself or sell it, it will be very cost-effective. It's not expensive, only one thousand spirit stones."

He was currently using a high-level magical instrument, so this mid-grade one would be useless if he kept it. Even if he spent 500 spirit stones to repair it and then sold it, a second-hand magical instrument with traces of repair wouldn't fetch a high price; at most, it could only fetch around 1,200 spirit stones.

After deducting the repair costs, there would only be 700 Spiritual Stones left. But if you can sell it directly for 1,000 Spiritual Stones, you can make more money and save a lot of trouble.

Xiao Han suddenly thought of someone, so he said, "How about this, I'll take you to see an equipment refiner. He should be able to repair this for a lower price. Let him repair it for you, and you can keep it or sell it. It's equally cost-effective."

Monk Duan asked, "Is that weapon refiner far from here?"

Xiao Han said, "It's very close, only a quarter of an hour away."

Seeing it so close, Monk Duan decided to go take a look. Xiao Han refused to pay a high price, so he could only find a weapon refiner to repair it before selling it.

The person Xiao Han thought of was, naturally, Senior Brother Li Moyun. When she was with Senior Brother Li, she had helped him refine a halberd like this one. Although the key parts of the halberd were still made by Master Jiang in his private workshop, Xiao Han believed that Senior Brother Li could definitely repair this damage.

My senior brother helped me refine that set of tools for free, so it’s only right that I help him with some work.

The short and fat monk also wanted to go along, so Xiao Han took the two of them and headed straight for the Earth Fire Peak.

She asked the manager of the City Lord's Mansion who was in charge of renting the Earth Fire Room for independent cultivators at Earth Fire Peak, and found the place rented by Senior Brother Li.

There is an alarm barrier at the door of the underground fire room. As long as spiritual power is injected and touched, it can alert the people inside.

Soon, Li Moyun appeared at the door of the underground fire room.

Seeing that it was Xiao Han, he rarely spoke and said, "It's not refined yet."

Xiao Han waved his hands hurriedly, "No hurry, no hurry, I'm looking for you for something else."

Then she explained the purpose of her visit.

Li Moyun walked out of the underground fire room directly and glanced at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han understood immediately and took him to the front to meet Monk Duan.

When Monk Duan saw that Li Moyun was very young, he was a little hesitant, but he still took out the halberd.

Li Moyun took a look and said, "Two hundred spirit stones."

When Monk Duan heard this, he was immediately delighted, but he also asked with concern, "Can two hundred spirit stones completely repair it?"

Li Moyun uttered another word: "Yes."

Monk Duan asked again, "How long will it take to repair it?"

Li Moyun said: "One hour."

Monk Duan immediately said, "Okay, I'll wait here for an hour."

Li Moyun nodded and walked in with the halberd. After taking two steps, he looked back at Xiao Han and shook his head.

Xiao Han, who had worked with him for two months, immediately understood that he wanted to follow in and observe and learn.

He immediately ran over happily.

Li Moyun gave Xiao Han the tools to refine a mid-grade magical weapon. Since it was his first time to refine a mid-grade magical weapon independently, he was afraid that Xiao Han would be distracted if he saw him, so he didn't let Xiao Han watch.

But he was completely confident that he could repair the halberd, so naturally he wanted Xiao Han to learn more techniques from him.

An hour later, Li Moyun came out holding a halberd and handed it to Monk Duan who was waiting outside.

Monk Duan was surprised to see the halberd, which showed no signs of repair. He then injected his spiritual power into the halberd, tested it, and happily took out two jade tokens worth 100 spirit stones each and handed them to Li Moyun.

After the short and fat monk and Monk Duan left, Xiao Han also prepared to go back and continue setting up his stall.

Li Moyun handed a jade token with a spirit stone as the certificate to Xiao Han. Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then realized that his senior brother thought that the business was introduced by him, so he gave him half of the profit.

God is my witness. Xiao Han feels that although she likes to take advantage of others sometimes, she really doesn't take advantage of everything!

He hurriedly stuffed the jade certificate back into Li Moyun's hand, then quickly stepped back and kept his distance.

"Brother, I'm embarrassed enough that you helped me refine the tools and refused to charge me for them. This repair fee was earned entirely by your own ability, and I absolutely cannot split it with you. Brother, I'm leaving now. Go ahead and do your work."

After saying that, he ran down the mountain.

Li Moyun looked at Xiao Han running away, then looked at the spirit stone in his hand. After standing there for a few breaths, he turned around and returned to the underground fire room.
