The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1077: Settling Down in the Second Heaven

When Xiao Han entered the special space created by the divine jade, she saw some fragments of her memories.

Later, after listening to her story, I learned that the alluring and beautiful woman who appeared in those fragments of memory was the Heavenly Fox Woman, the lover that her Daoist partner Fu Zhi later found.

Xiao Han remembered this woman so vividly because the Heavenly Fox Girl's appearance was almost identical to that of the original Succubus Yun Que.

However, the two have completely different temperaments. The Heavenly Fox Girl has a lower-level seductive charm, while Yun Que has a more sophisticated and stunning beauty.

Of course, Yun Que's current body was forged using rare and precious materials, so her appearance is only half of what it used to be. She has also lost her innate allure, so she naturally looks like a fairly normal, ordinary beauty.

Although Xiao Han was extremely shocked, she still bowed respectfully on the surface.

The Heavenly Fox Maiden naturally noticed the fleeting look of surprise on Xiao Han's face, but many cultivators who saw her for the first time, regardless of gender, were amazed by her appearance, and she was used to it.

She simply said arrogantly, "I've heard you have a lot of green marble. How much? Enough for me to cover the bottom of the pool?"

Xiao Han hurriedly replied, "There are approximately two million one hundred thousand."

The Celestial Fox was fairly satisfied with the quantity, so she said, "Two million divine stones in total, are you willing to sell?"

"Sell, sell!" Xiao Han was overjoyed and readily agreed.

Although Granny Liu and the others said that one green cloud stone could be sold for one divine stone, she was willing to accept so much if the other party bought it all at once and rounded down the price.

Sure enough, these veteran cultivators are indeed wealthy; they can spend two million on a single decoration without batting an eye.

After the transaction, the celestial fox woman gracefully departed.

Xiao Han then took out another 10,000 divine stones and gave them to the shop owner of the general store as a way of thanking him for helping to make the deal happen.

The shop owner said a few polite words, and then accepted the money without any qualms.

Seeing that the shop owner was in a good mood, Xiao Han took the opportunity to inquire, "That senior from earlier was absolutely stunning in appearance and had a high level of cultivation. Are you familiar with her?"

The shop owner, probably a gossip, immediately activated a soundproof barrier before saying, "This isn't a human cultivator; she's a demon cultivator. She's from the Celestial Fox clan, and it's said that she has a deity backing her up. She's a special existence among high-level human cultivators."

Xiao Han exclaimed in surprise. She knew from Yu Li's stories that this was a Heavenly Fox Woman, but she never expected that this Heavenly Fox Woman actually lived among the human race.

Since the shopkeeper said that this fox spirit has a deity backing her, that deity must be Fu Zhi, Yu Li's former Daoist partner. Could it be that Fu Zhi and Yu Li fought a great battle and nothing happened to him? Wouldn't that be too tragic for Yu Li?

She continued to inquire, "Do you know who the deity behind her is? Also, do these deities often reveal their presence in our divine realm?"

The shop owner scoffed, "How would I know who the deity behind her is? I've never even seen a deity. These are just things people say in casual conversation."

He had helped this powerful fox demon collect some items by chance, which is how he got her contact information.

Xiao Han thought to herself that when she met those God Emperor acquaintances next time, she would definitely ask them about this juicy gossip related to the gods.

With her wallet bulging, Xiao Han decided to rent a more upscale cave dwelling this time to treat herself to some good fun.

Otherwise, she would feel guilty for not having worked hard for so many years.

They chose a beautiful floating island called Liuxia, found a rental shop, and inquired about the cave dwelling.

All the floating islands within the barrier belong to the Divine Palace. However, some places are unsuitable for habitation, so no cave dwellings are built there, and they are left unmanaged.

The better floating islands are managed by shrines.

Independent cultivators can only rent houses at the Divine Palace's cave dwelling rental office; they are not allowed to build their own cave dwellings.

Of course, if a rogue cultivator reaches the God Emperor realm, they will be qualified to buy land from the God Palace and build their own cave dwelling.

Xiao Han was only a god-king, and didn't even have the qualifications to buy land. She could only rent a cave dwelling.

Of course, there are many types of rental cave dwellings in the Second Heaven. There are also cave dwellings with their own garden villas, but the rent is relatively expensive.

The cheapest cave dwelling on Liuxia Island costs 1,000 divine stones per year and is in the style of a small mountain cave.

The most expensive area is the large villa district, where the annual rent is 30,000 divine stones.

Thirty thousand divine stones may not sound expensive, but cultivators sometimes spend ten, several decades, or even a hundred years in seclusion to comprehend something.

If the rent is for a hundred years or more, and you have to come up with millions of dollars in rent, how many people can afford to rent for a long time unless they have a very wealthy family?

The priest in charge of renting out cave dwellings on Liuxia Island waved his sleeve, and images of various cave dwellings and their corresponding rental prices appeared in the void.

Xiao Han ultimately chose a cave dwelling that cost five thousand divine stones a year.

The entire site of this cave dwelling covers an area of ​​about two acres. The buildings are palace-style structures, including a main hall, side halls, and a rear hall.

The room wasn't very large, but it had everything you needed. There was a main hall for receiving guests, a bedroom, a cultivation room, a workshop, and a pet room, each separate from the others.

There is also a small garden with a gazebo outside.

Finally, it's no longer just about digging a hole in the mountainside to create a cave dwelling.

However, these cave dwellings are rented for a minimum of one hundred years, and a one-time payment of 500,000 divine stones is required.

If she hadn't met the wealthy and powerful demon, the Heavenly Fox Woman, who bought her Green Cloud Stone, she really wouldn't have been able to afford to rent this cave.

At times like these, she especially misses the cave dwelling in the Divine Punishment Mountains of the Immortal Realm.

It's a spacious place where you don't have to worry about paying rent, and you can do whatever you want. It's your own territory, and that feels great.

After paying the rent and receiving the cave's restriction token, Xiao Han was very happy to see that this place, which had belonged to him for at least a hundred years, was his home.

We let Ba Dou out and told it that this was its new home, and Ba Dou was indeed very happy.

It can finally fly freely again, instead of being confined in the exquisite fairy abode all day long.

After renting a house and playing with Ba Dou for a while, Xiao Han suddenly felt very bored.

After entering the realm of gods, there's no need to meditate and accumulate spiritual energy; advancement relies on enlightenment. If you don't have to struggle for a living, you suddenly feel completely idle.

Xiao Han had fantasized countless times about the day when she could live a life of leisure, doing nothing, not needing to cultivate, and just lying around doing nothing.

But when she actually lived that kind of life, she realized that it was actually very boring.

She suddenly understood the state of those God Emperors. After becoming a God Emperor, it became even more difficult to find a direction for enlightenment in advancing further. No one would bully them, they had no worries about making a living, and they had no motivation to strive.

Sigh, she's only a minor deity right now, yet she already has these kinds of feelings.

It seems that after entering this second level, one must begin to refine one's mind.
