The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1092: A Century's Rent, Wasted in Vain

Xiao Han temporarily fooled the fire spirit of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus and flew back to the interdimensional teleportation array in the Demon Realm.

Seeing the misty fog outside the teleportation array, Xiao Han worried that she would be trapped in an illusion created by demons, so she simply used an exorcism talisman to clear a path.

As they flew down, they simultaneously drew and threw different talismans into the void.

Only after entering the interdimensional teleportation array, which was surrounded by restrictions, did they finally feel relieved.

Take out the activation array plate and place it in a groove in the center of the large array.

When the teleportation array lit up, Xiao Han flicked her finger to take the activation plate and was immediately teleported back to the God Realm.

At this moment, Shui Wuhen paid 10,000 divine stones, obtained the activation array plate, and just as he stepped out of the deacon's office, he saw Xiao Han flying towards him.

"Xiao Han, are you okay?"

Shui Wuhen greeted him with delight, secretly relieved.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Are you heading to the Demon Realm again?"

Upon returning to the God Realm, Xiao Han was delighted to see her old friends.

Then, before Shui Wuhen could answer, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, you've already reached the Divine Lord Realm!"

Even knowing that Shui Wuhen had devoured a possessed soul and guessed that this might be the outcome, Xiao Han still couldn't help but feel envious upon seeing it with her own eyes.

Sigh, all her friends are geniuses, and she's the only one who got ahead by sheer luck.

Shui Wuhen gave a nonchalant "hmm," and said, "Just lucky."

Then, he asked in confusion, "You just came back from the realm of demons? You stayed there for over a hundred years?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Yes, something happened."

Thinking of the untamed Chaos Treasure residing within her body, Xiao Han hurriedly communicated with the Fire Spirit using her thoughts.

"Does this cultivator in front of you have any merit? Would you like to acknowledge him as your master?"

Xiao Han would be willing to give up the Chaos Treasure, the Crimson Lotus of Karmic Fire, to Shui Wuhen. After all, Shui Wuhen had the power to protect her.

The Fire Spirit's arrogant voice rang out, "He has merit, but he's just like you, an ant. I don't want such a low-ranking master."

Xiao Han: This guy is just as annoying as the little tower spirit. They both use the word "ant" all the time. They really need to be taught a lesson and learn what manners are.

Shui Wuhen didn't ask what had happened; as long as Xiao Han was safe and sound, that was enough.

The two then went to the deacon's hall of the interdimensional teleportation array, where one returned the activation array plate and the other returned the teleportation slot.

Xiao Han then learned that Shui Wuhen was preparing to go to the Demon Realm to find her. She was deeply moved; indeed, there was a reason she was willing to give him the Chaos Treasure—because such a good friend was worthy of her trust.

Unfortunately, Fire Spirit also looked down on him.

After dealing with these matters, Shui Wuhen left the Deacon Hall again and said, "The Divine Palace has issued a special decree to recruit a group of cultivators from all human cultivators who are willing to manage lower realms. Regardless of cultivation level, as long as they pass the final test, they can become special deacon priests of the Divine Palace. Do you want to come?"

This decree allows both cultivators from the Divine Palace and independent cultivators to apply.

Whether I'll be accepted is another matter.

Shui Wuhen felt that although joining the Divine Palace had many restrictions, it also had many benefits.

Most importantly, he felt that this special deacon priest should be an opportunity.

Is the low-level management interface some kind of spirit realm like the Yuan Tian Continent?

If that were the case, and I had the opportunity to become the administrator of the Yuan Tian Continent, wouldn't it allow my master, junior sister, senior brother Li, sister Qu, and other relatives and friends to obtain great opportunities and all ascend to the Immortal Realm?

Xiao Han, lost in her fantasies, immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, where do we register?"

Shui Wuhen said, "The imperial edict has just been issued, and it's not time to register yet. You should go back and rest well. I will notify you when registration begins."

Xiao Han nodded; she did indeed want to spend more time and energy cultivating her relationship with Huo Ling.

She thought of the powerful spirit of the little tower, who had been dragged into the tower and tumbled just because she had scolded it; clearly, the spirit also had emotions.

As long as there are emotions, feelings can be cultivated.

After parting ways with Shui Wuhen, Xiao Han returned to her cave dwelling in the Second Heaven.

Then she tragically discovered that her 500,000 divine stones had gone down the drain once again.

She rented a house with a minimum lease term of 100 years. Not long after moving in, she went to the Demon Realm to search for treasure, which resulted in a 100-year delay.

The house she rented for 500,000 divine stones has been left vacant for a hundred years, which is truly heartbreaking for her.

If she still can't keep Huo Ling in the end, she'll really be at a huge loss.

Xiao Han originally intended to go to the rental office to renew her lease, but suddenly remembered the registration.

Forget it, she shouldn't rent a nice place. She should just rent a cheap one as a temporary measure and wait until things settle down.

Despite the heartache, Xiao Han switched to the cheapest option: a cave dwelling costing a thousand divine stones a year.

The minimum rental period is ten years, and it only cost 10,000 divine stones.

This is a cave dwelling that's actually dug out. Apart from being larger than the cave dwellings in the first level of heaven and having slightly more decent interior decoration, it doesn't have any other advantages.

Xiao Han couldn't understand why he, a god, was still living in a cave dwelling with a hole dug in it.

When will she stop looking so shabby?

She has always lived a very hard life, and compared with all the acquaintances in Yuan Tian Continent, she is still at the top. Why doesn't she have any of the treatment that a successful person should have?

Xiao Han couldn't understand it at all. Was she destined to be poor?

No, she doesn't believe in superstitions!

Xiao Han decided that if she couldn't become a special priestess of the Divine Palace, she would definitely continue to rent that nice house worth 500,000 for a hundred years, and then not go anywhere else, just eat, drink, have fun and enjoy herself for a hundred years.

What a loss! What a huge loss!

Filled with resentment, Xiao Han moved into the cheapest cave dwelling, released Ba Dou, and then decided to play with the Fire Spirit first to cultivate their relationship.

For the past hundred years, Ba Dou has been passing the time by sleeping. Now that he can finally come out for some fresh air, he is told that he can only live in a small cave.

Seeing that its owner was in a bad mood because of the wasted rent of a hundred years, it immediately comforted him, "Master, we have always been lucky. If we are unlucky here, we will definitely be compensated elsewhere. It's okay."

Seeing Xiao Badou trying so hard to comfort herself, Xiao Han laughed.

She called to the fire spirit within her, "Come out and chat, I have a really fun little bird here."

Xiao Han thought about the spirit of the secret realm that appeared above the Misty Forest in the small world, which really liked croton. What if croton attracted the fire spirit in return?

To her surprise, the other person replied, "Don't bother me, I need to take a nap," and then ignored her.

Xiao Han's hopes were dashed. How could they develop feelings for each other without chatting?

Sigh! I just hope this guy has higher standards and doesn't look down on anyone, so he can just stay inside her forever.

After she sold her loot from the Demon Realm and received several million more divine stones, Shui Wuhen contacted her when she was in a good mood.

"Xiao Han, the recruitment for special priests has started. Go and try it out to see if you can pass the first round of screening."
