The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Today, Xiao Han did not practice at night for the first time ever, but fell asleep.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Fifty thousand spirit stones is definitely a huge fortune for a casual cultivator like her who is only at the fifth level of Qi training.

When I was an apprentice, the salary for an intermediate apprentice was only 300 spirit stones a month.

If she hadn't started a scrap collection business later, she wouldn't have been able to accumulate such a large amount of spirit stones in such a short time.

Now all the hard work of the past few years has gone to waste.

Since coming to this different time and space, Xiao Han has never felt as disheartened as he does today.

The money is gone, the hope of rapid cultivation is gone, and the future is bleak.

Could it be that after traveling to this different time and space, she would still work hard for decades and then die?

Xiao Han lay powerless on the bed, feeling that he had suddenly lost the meaning of life and his life goals.

Finally, she decided to empty her mind, stop thinking about anything, and have a good sleep first.

Maybe when you wake up, this so-called journey to another time and space is actually just a dream that is too realistic.

Xiao Han, who woke up from a nap, was confused for a moment, then raised his wrist to check the time, and then sat up in shock.

No way, she hadn't slept for more than ten years, and this time she slept for two days and two nights?

Her watch was specially made for her and had the function of recording the date, so she knew that she had slept for two days and two nights.

Then, Xiao Han felt that the restriction outside the door was triggered.

She hurriedly got out of bed, walked out, opened the door and saw that it was Ye Qi standing outside.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, a friend asked me to help him sell a damaged magical weapon. Can you tell me how much it's worth?"

After saying that, he handed a set of mother-and-child swords to Xiao Han to see.

This was a set of mother and four swords. The mother sword was broken, and two of the swords had cracks.

Originally, for this set of magical weapons, even if the main sword was destroyed, the sub-swords could still be used, but their attack power would be greatly reduced.

However, not only was the main sword of this set destroyed, but two of the sub-swords were also damaged, and the other two had slight cracks, but they were still barely usable. Strictly speaking, this entire set of magic tools was basically useless.

Xiao Han handed the two swords that were barely intact to Ye Qi, "These two can still be used, I will take the others as scrap prices."

Ye Qi handed the two swords back to her and said, "The owner of the magic weapon said that there is not much use for him to keep these two swords, so he sold them all to you. You can give some spirit stones as you see fit, but don't be too outrageous."

Xiao Han hesitated for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll give you 400 spirit stones for this whole set of magic tools, both good and bad?"

"Okay." Ye Qi agreed readily. After all, her friend's request was no less than 300 spirit stones, so being able to sell it for 400 spirit stones was already quite good.

After Ye Qi left, Xiao Han returned to the cave and looked at the mother-and-child sword in his hand.

This is a set of mid-grade magical instruments. Although only mid-grade, its price is already close to that of high-grade instruments. This is because a set of flying sword instruments not only has strong attack power, but also can be used for both offense and defense.

The sub-swords can attack while the mother sword defends, or they can attack together, with one mother and four sons, and a large attack range.

Now, although three of the magic weapons in this set have been damaged, if Xiao Han can extract usable raw materials from the three magic weapons and add some missing materials, he will basically only need to spend another two hundred spirit stones to refine them again.

As for the two sub-swords with slight cracks, they can be repaired.

She only needs to spend less than a thousand spirit stones to own a set of magic tools worth several thousand spirit stones.

Because she wanted to keep this set of magic tools for herself.

Although she lived in the city and had basically no chance to fight, she had to prepare some weapons for herself as things were unpredictable.

The diamond cutter she had bought in Fuyuan City was just a low-level magical tool. Both its material and attack power were too poor. If the mother-and-child sword was finished, she could sell the diamond cutter.

Of course, the mother-child sword is a mid-grade magic weapon, and with her current skills, she cannot refine it, but she can get a pot of good spiritual wine and ask Master Hu for guidance on how to refine it herself.

If Hu Xi were to receive occasional guidance and have some good wine to lead the way, he would probably be willing to do so.

After calculating all this, she put away the magic weapon and then was stunned again.

So, I have recovered from the huge blow of the elixir being ineffective and 50,000 spirit stones being wasted?

Then she smiled bitterly again.

What’s the point of not recovering and living a normal life?

In this world, whether you are poor and destitute or living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, who will care about you and who will pay attention to you?

It’s like in modern society, as long as ordinary people are not unable to move, they have to struggle to support their families and struggle to live.

The same applies here. Even if the cleansing elixir has no effect, I still have to practice diligently and strive to level up.

So, Xiao Han, who had only enjoyed two nights of doing nothing and sleeping with his eyes closed, began to practice all night long again.

What if the barrier remains unmoved? She will spend a lot of time to wear it down and attack it.

A rope can saw through wood, and water can wear away a stone. As long as she keeps pushing, she believes that she will be able to break through and upgrade faster than other monks with the same qualifications.

After all, in the past few years she has been in the market, she has never heard any casual cultivator say that they practice longer hours a day than her or have better training conditions than her.

She has a cave with a monthly rent of 600 yuan, a miniature spirit gathering array, and six hours of practice time every day.

Sure enough, hard work pays off. Two years later, at the age of thirty-six, she finally reached the sixth level of Qi training.

The sixth level of Qi training was already the middle stage of Qi training. At this level, she finally had some self-protection power in front of other Qi training cultivators.

Counting it up, she has been in Zixiao City for more than ten years since she was twenty-five years old.

Over the years, she had been so busy every day that she had no time to even take a breath. Now, she suddenly wanted to go back to Fuyuan City to visit Grandma Yuan.

Grandma Yuan only has a few years left to live. If she doesn't go back, Grandma Yuan might have passed away by the time she goes back.

But it’s definitely not possible to go back to visit Grandma Yuan empty-handed.

At Granny Yuan's age, cultivation resources are no longer useful to her. The only thing that is useful to her is probably the longevity pill.

So Xiao Han began to ask around about the longevity elixir.

After asking, she discovered that the longest-lasting elixir in the current world of immortal cultivation only lasted ten years. And elixirs like that only appeared at auction houses. She couldn't afford them with her current financial resources.

Then there are those that extend life by three years and those that extend life by one year.

It is said that a pill that can extend life for three years costs around 20,000 spirit stones, while one that can extend life for one year only costs 5,000 spirit stones.

After all, extending life by one year does feel a bit useless, and the spiritual herbs required are relatively easy to obtain and low in cost, so the selling price will naturally not be too expensive.

The elixir that could extend one's life by three years was also bought by the wealthy and powerful family elders as soon as it appeared.

Therefore, the only thing that is easily available on the market is the longevity pill that can extend one's life by one year.
