The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1054: Sent to be slaves Compared to the women's prison, the men's prison was even more miserable.

Old Man Yu was the only one who wasn't hit at all, and Ling Xiao was the next one who was hit less.

After being bitten by a scorpion, Old Man Yu deeply understood that his body was truly very fragile and vulnerable.

They realized that the four or five fierce-looking young men were clearly up to no good, not only wanting to rob them of their clothes, headdresses, storage rings, and other small ornaments, but also wanting to take the opportunity to beat them up.

Therefore, he cooperated fully and did not resist at all, which is why he was not beaten.

Ling Xiao was struck by an iron chain and was about to fight back desperately when he suddenly remembered Xiao Han's words.

Xiao Han said: "Either resist to the death and leave this place, or don't resist at all, so as to avoid suffering more humiliation."

She also specifically told him that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle and shouldn't force things.

Ling Xiao didn't want to be separated from Xiao Han and return to the God Realm alone, so he endured the humiliation of being stripped and robbed.

The other male cultivators, although most of them were beaten badly, at least didn't end up half-dead in the haystack like Fatty Wang.

The female cultivators were at least given a wooden stick to tie their hair up, but the male cultivators were all disheveled, wearing tattered, musty-smelling coarse linen clothes, their faces bruised and swollen, looking even more wretched and pitiful than beggars.

The oppressive atmosphere in the cell lingered for a while before Qian Baiwan sighed and said, "After becoming a God Emperor, I've always felt that my heart has become as still as a well, and nothing can stir my emotions anymore."

Later, to complete this mission, we all gathered together and built a small town on Xishan Island. I even opened a general store. We tried to live like normal low-level cultivators, seemingly laughing and joking, having a lively time, but in reality, not only me, but everyone else was completely unmoved, living like walking corpses.

He paused, noticing everyone listening intently and with thoughtful expressions, before continuing, "But entering this space, becoming a mortal, suffering and tormenting for survival, and then experiencing genuine joy when obtaining food."

And the anxiety of being without food and water, the fear and excitement of fighting wild beasts—it was then that I realized I had become flesh and blood again.

At this moment, the monk Xi said in a deep voice, "I admit that I have gained a lot from entering this space, but I still find it hard to accept being bullied and humiliated by these mortals."

Old Yu said from the side, "In any interface, under any rules and system, only the fittest can survive. If you can't survive for three years, if you can't survive here for three years, then it can only be said that you can't understand the true meaning of doing this task."

He felt that the three-year time limit given to them by the Azure Heaven God must have a profound meaning, so he still wanted to advise everyone to keep a calm mind, get through the three years together, and understand the ultimate purpose of this mission.

Did these great cultivators not understand the principles Old Man Yu was talking about? Of course they did. They could accept the hardships of survival, but being bullied by ants was something they could not bear.

Only death could leave this place, which forced them to endure it whether they wanted to or not.

Perhaps these god-emperors were too traumatized; they didn't have dinner, and no one felt hungry.

In the women's prison cell, Xiao Han asked Xin Ziqi, "After we get out, will the Azure Deity retrieve our storage bracelets and storage rings and return them to us?"

Xin Ziqi laughed and said, "What, are you worried that all your belongings will be gone?"

Xiao Han chuckled awkwardly, "Of course I'm worried. I don't want to be poor again."

She's had enough of the hardship of starting from scratch.

Xin Ziqi comforted him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely get it back. With so many of our God Emperor's possessions, the Azure Heaven God Venerable won't just ignore them."

With her words, Xiao Han felt relieved.

As long as no money is lost, what's a little hardship?

After enduring three years of hardship with these god-emperors, she realized they were all her comrades-in-arms. She felt that she could now roam freely in the god realm.

Compared to Xiao Han's optimistic attitude and her unspoken thoughts, the other God Emperors' hearts were in turmoil.

On the one hand, they didn't want to suffer this humiliation, and on the other hand, they didn't want the mission to be abandoned halfway. Sitting in the dark and damp prison, no one could sleep peacefully.

Except for Xiao Han!

The next morning, just as the city gates were about to open, Jing Huai sent men to prepare to escort them to his estate as slaves as soon as possible.

Yesterday, when his subordinates presented him with all those clothes and ornaments, Jing Huai personally stroked the spotless garments and played with the exquisite ornaments that even the royal palace didn't have. He knew what kind of wealth he had acquired.

He gave a set of clothes, a jade crown to tie up his hair, and two rings to the minor guards at the city gate, indicating that he would also offer the remaining half as tribute to help the two men get promoted. That was it, the spoils were divided.

This junior leader was someone he had personally promoted, and no one dared to have any disloyalty towards him.

The female jailer opened the cell door and herded everyone to assemble in the courtyard.

Seeing that Qingwei Goddess was having difficulty getting up, Xiao Han immediately squatted down to carry her out.

Qingwei struggled to sit up, needing only a little help from her.

Xin Ziqi and Xiao Han, supporting her on either side, slowly walked out of the cell and into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the male monks were also driven out of the prison.

Wang Pangzi was so badly injured that he had to be carried out by Xi Xiushi.

A burly man in armor with a full beard ordered his men to remove the shackles from their feet and then tie all their wrists together with rope again.

Qingwei and Wang Pangzi, who were clearly seriously injured, as well as Xi Xiushi who was carrying Wang Pangzi, were not bound.

Anyway, there are more than 20 people escorting them, so there's no fear of these few people escaping.

After Xiao Han came out, she looked around and sure enough, she saw Croton standing on the eaves.

Croton knew it couldn't save everyone; it could only save itself for the time being.

When Ling Xiao saw Xiao Han come out, he squeezed next to her and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Xiao Han shook her head. "I didn't resist, so I wasn't hit. What about you?"

Ling Xiao was embarrassed to say that he had been chained, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, the bearded squad leader pointed at Ling Xiao and said, "You, carry her on your back."

He had Ling Xiao carry Qingwei on his back so that they could travel faster.

As for whether the two seriously injured people could survive once they arrived at the estate, that was not his responsibility; he only needed to ensure that both of them were safely delivered.

These great monks didn't know where they would be taken, but none of them were afraid.

Then, they were escorted out of the city and walked into the distance.

The soldiers escorting them would strike anyone who was walking too slowly with their spears, causing them to stumble.

To avoid being beaten, Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and persevered, refusing to fall behind.

Qingwei felt she had regained some energy and asked him to put her down and help her walk.

But if the two slowed down even slightly, the spear shaft would strike them, completely disregarding their lives.

This behavior, which completely disregards them as human beings, truly left these bigwigs feeling both frustrated and helpless.

Fortunately, Jinghuai's estate was inherited from his ancestors and was not too far from the capital.

We arrived around noon.

The bearded squad leader handed the man over to Jing Shi, the steward of the estate, and then immediately led his men back.

They all carried dry rations, which they could eat on the way back.

Jing Shangguan had already said that everyone would receive a reward upon returning, so everyone was quite willing to make the trip.

At that moment, Jing Shi, who was in charge of the farm, had already instructed the overseer who was in charge of the slaves to walk towards the group of new slaves with a whip in hand.

If these new slaves aren't given a good beating, they won't work obediently.
