The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1072: Entering a Treasure Mountain and Returning Empty-handed

Xiao Han felt that her rationality seemed to clear for a moment.

What is she doing here?

Oh right, it seems she's here to search for treasure.

Since she's here to hunt for treasure, with so many treasures, if she just casually hides one, no one should know, right?

She hurriedly ran over, closed the warehouse door tightly, and then nervously looked around.

Then, the next moment, the Eastern Emperor Bell entered her storage bracelet.

Xiao Han felt her heart beating faster.

She forced a nonchalant expression on her face.

Don't be greedy, just take one treasure.

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time she had ever committed theft, and her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

She decided to get to work quickly and start counting and registering the treasures one by one.

But not long after, she felt that she shouldn't have taken the Eastern Emperor Bell. Such a treasure was too high-class, and if it were lost, people would easily suspect her.

So, Xiao Han reluctantly took out the Eastern Emperor Bell and replaced it with Star Sand.

After working for a while, she felt that Xingchensha was still too good and too eye-catching.

No, let's try something else.

So Xiao Han took out the Star Sand again and replaced it with a divine herb that looked like a lingzhi mushroom in the mortal world.

After counting for a while, she felt that the Ganoderma lucidum was still too conspicuous, so she took it out and replaced it with a palm-sized stone.

But after a while, she felt that this stone must also have an extraordinary origin, perhaps even more advanced than the Sky-Mending Stone.

Let's try something else.

And so, after much fuss, Xiao Han finished inventorying and registering all the treasures in the storeroom. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a treasure from her storage bracelet and decided to exchange it for a divine stone.

She also has divine stones in her storage bracelet. If she takes some divine stones, even if others want to accuse her of stealing divine stones from the warehouse, they will have no evidence.

I counted the divine stones in the warehouse storage bag and found that they weren't a whole number; I figured no one would notice if I took a few.

But when it came time to record the number of divine stones in the storeroom, she hesitated. After agonizing for a while, she ultimately didn't take a single one.

Seeing that all the treasures in the warehouse, as well as the number of divine stones, were recorded in detail in the jade slip, and that she had entered the treasure mountain and returned empty-handed, she was heartbroken beyond measure.

Xiao Han, you're such a disappointment! There's a whole warehouse full of treasures, and you didn't even dare to take a single one. What kind of treasure did you find?

Just then, the voice of the senior sister from the sect came from outside: "Junior Sister Xiao, have you finished counting?"

Xiao Han quickly replied, "We just finished counting."

She walked out of the storeroom and handed the jade slip containing the names and quantities of the treasures to the senior sister from the sect.

The senior sister from the sect waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go turn in the mission together."

Then Xiao Han went to see the sect leader with her senior brothers and sisters.

The sect leader was a kind-looking middle-aged cultivator.

He took the jade slips handed over by the three men and said with a kind smile, "You've worked hard to inventory the storeroom, so I'll reward each of you with a treasure."

After saying that, he handed each person a storage bag.

Xiao Han took the storage bag and scanned it with her divine sense. She found that inside was a bright yellow golden bowl, which contained half a bowl of yellow sand.

What kind of treasure is this?

Then Xiao Han asked, "Sect Leader, what kind of treasure is this?"

The sect leader said, "That's the Samadhi Divine Wind. When you want to use it, you only need to blow a breath of yellow sand into the bowl, and the entire world will be filled with yellow sand and a raging wind. This wind can darken the world and make ghosts and gods tremble. Those with low cultivation will have their souls blown away."

Xiao Han was overjoyed. "Wow, just by taking inventory of the storerooms, I've obtained such a treasure! I wonder if there are any more storerooms that need to be inventoried?"

The sect leader then waved his hand, dismissing the three of them.

As Xiao Han walked, she thought about the treasure, the Three Flavors Divine Wind. When she came to her senses, she found that her senior brothers and sisters had disappeared, and she was all alone standing under a big tree.

In a daze, everything that had just happened felt like a dream.

Where are you?

Right, it should be in the Boundless Secret Realm.

What about Ling Xiao and Shui Wuhen? Where are they now?

Meanwhile, Shui Wuhen, whom Xiao Han was thinking about, was now risking his life for her.

Shui Wuhen entered the Boundless Secret Realm and obtained several valuable treasures. He came out in a good mood and saw Ling Xiao scolding Xiao Han.

"What's the point of waiting for him to come out? Come with me right now. I've helped you improve your cultivation. From now on, you'll stay by my side obediently and do whatever I tell you to do."

Shui Wuhen immediately frowned and stepped forward, saying, "Since Senior Ling is a senior, he should act like one. Forcibly keeping someone by your side is nothing short of bullying."

Ling Xiao glanced at him and said disdainfully, "Even if I didn't help her by raising her cultivation level, the fact that a God Emperor likes her is her honor."

Shui Wuhen suppressed his anger, "The Divine Palace is not only the domain of the God Emperor, but also of the God Venerable. I do not believe that the Supreme Elder of the Divine Palace will allow you to act recklessly, relying on your cultivation level to do such a thing."

Ling Xiao scoffed, "So what if I act recklessly? With your current mere True God realm, even if you wanted to complain, you wouldn't be able to see the God Venerable. What are you? Get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite."

At this moment, Xiao Han hurriedly said, "You should leave quickly. I'm fine. He likes me and won't do anything to me."

After saying that, she took the initiative to stand next to Ling Xiao, who immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing Xiao Han's aggrieved and submissive appearance, how could Shui Wuhen feel at ease?

He said in a deep voice, "If you truly love her, you should treat her sincerely and prioritize her feelings, instead of forcibly taking her away like this. Although my cultivation is low and I am no match for you, who knows if I can become a god and seek justice for her many years from now?"

Ling Xiao laughed wildly again, "Seeking justice? You think you can? I'll show you what difference there is between a mere True God Realm cultivator and an ant in my eyes."

After saying that, he struck out with his palm at Shui Wuhen.

Shui Wuhen felt as if every bone in his body was shattering, and he trembled with pain.

But his heart was filled with anger. When he saw Xiao Han pleading with Ling Xiao in a panic, he immediately decided that even if Ling Xiao beat him to death, he would make the Supreme Elder of the Divine Palace stand up for him and Xiao Han and uphold justice.

Then, he pounced on him and began to attack Ling Xiao.

However, the gap between the two was too great. Ling Xiao simply waved his sleeve, and he was sent flying.

Then, he heard Ling Xiao's voice coming from afar.

"If you want to get ahead, you need to see if you have the ability. You're really overestimating yourself."

Despite the excruciating pain throughout her body, Shui Wuhen slowly stood up.

He looked up at the starry sky above and his mind gradually calmed down.

Yes, without strength, how can you protect the people you care about?

What he needs to do now is not to be impotent and furious; he needs to seek every opportunity to comprehend the Dao and improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.
