The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han thought the little girl had some instructions, so after entering, he immediately asked respectfully, "Little Fairy, do you have any instructions?"

After standing outside the door for a while, she remembered that mortals called cultivators "fairy masters", and she could no longer call everyone who came in "guests" as usual.

The little girl puffed out her chest, raised her chin, and said to Xiao Han in a serious manner, "Do you know who can become a cultivator and cultivate immortality?"

Xiao Han didn't know what she meant by asking this question for a moment and shook his head instinctively.

Of course, the little girl didn't really expect Xiao Han to answer. She kindly explained, "Only mortals with spiritual roots can absorb spiritual energy and cultivate. However, it's impossible to tell if one has spiritual roots. To do this, cultivators must use a special spirit-detecting disc and certain techniques."

Xiao Han's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at the little girl excitedly and wanted to shout out, "I know this. It's written like this in those immortal cultivation novels. You put your hand on the spirit-testing bead or spirit-testing disk. If the person being tested has spiritual roots, the bead or spirit-testing disk will show it."

Of course, she could only think about these words in her heart, but she didn't dare to say them out loud.

Seeing Xiao Han staring at her with shining eyes, the little girl nodded vigorously, obviously understanding the meaning of spirit testing.

He immediately coughed lightly and stated his purpose.

"My master and I are here to help someone test their spiritual roots. Each test requires five ginseng plants that are over a hundred years old. Seeing that you are so attentive to our hospitality, I felt kind and decided to test them for you for free. Are you willing?"

Xiao Han nodded vigorously again. She was more than willing to do it. Although she felt that she couldn't be so lucky to have spiritual roots, since it was free, she might as well give it a try. It was a rare opportunity to try out a plot that only appeared in immortal cultivation novels.

Oh, no wonder I seemed to hear the magpie calling this morning. Something good must have happened.

Seeing the fish had taken the bait, the little girl immediately winked at the beautiful female cultivator and said, "Master, take out the spirit-testing plate."

The beautiful female cultivator naturally knew what she meant by blinking. She flipped her hand, and like a magic trick, a round plate as smooth as the finest white jade appeared in her hand.

The girl took the round plate and placed it on the table. She then said to Xiao Han, "Being a cultivator isn't easy. First, you have to endure the pain of the spirit test. If you can't even bear this little pain, then you're not qualified to be a cultivator. So, when the spirit test is done later, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to endure it."

Xiao Han was stunned. Would testing a spirit be painful? Wouldn't it be possible to automatically reveal whether one had spiritual roots by simply placing one's hand on the spirit testing plate?

She was stunned and unconsciously said what was in her mind.

The little girl immediately rolled her eyes, "How can a magic weapon work without spiritual energy to stimulate it? I have to probe the spiritual energy into your body and stimulate it."

The disciple wanted to practice on Xiao Han, and since the beautiful monk agreed, she naturally had to cooperate.

So he deliberately frowned and said, "If you can't even bear this little bit of hardship, how can you cultivate to be an immortal? Wan'er, forget it, don't be so kind. You're wasting your spiritual energy and getting nothing in return."

When Xiao Han heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate and said hurriedly, "I can endure the pain. I am willing to take the test."

The beautiful monk showed a barely perceptible smug smile on her lips, and then emphasized: "Once the test begins, you cannot stop halfway. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you must endure it until the end."

Xiao Han was very nervous, not knowing how severe the pain would be, but she did not dare to give up this opportunity that had fallen from the sky.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing to endure it."

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately smiled and clasped Xiao Han's left hand. Then, pointing at the spirit-testing plate, she said, "Spread out your right hand, with your palm covering the center of the spirit-testing plate."

Xiao Han hurriedly obeyed. When her palm touched the spirit-testing disk, the icy touch sent a shiver through her body. But she didn't dare move her hand away, keeping her palm pressed against it.

At this time, the beautiful monk glanced at her disciple and said, "Control the spiritual power to be thinner than a hair, enter along the main meridian at the wrist, and only travel through the main meridian, and finally exit from the Laogong acupoint on the right hand to activate the spiritual measuring disk."

The little girl immediately held her breath and concentrated, doing as her master taught her.

The next moment, Xiao Han felt as if an ant had crawled into his elbow and was moving forward. This was followed by an uncomfortable mixture of soreness, numbness, itching, and pain.

Xiao Han subconsciously wanted to struggle to get rid of this indescribable yet extremely uncomfortable feeling.

The beautiful monk immediately glared at her and shouted, "Don't you want to live anymore? Don't move!"

Xiao Han suddenly didn't dare to struggle. He clenched his teeth and tried his best to endure this unspeakable torture and pain.

Sure enough, the easy methods of testing spirits in novels about cultivating immortals are all lies.

The girl's cultivation level was still low, and her spiritual power control was unstable. When it passed through her dantian, it trembled. Xiao Han felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and with a painful cry, he could no longer control himself and pressed his free right hand to his abdomen.

The beautiful monk naturally understood what was going on. She glared at her disciple secretly, then scolded Xiao Han, "Put your hand back quickly, otherwise you will suffer in vain."

The little girl smiled embarrassedly at her master, and then continued to control her spiritual power to move.

At this time, the severe pain in his abdomen eased a little. Xiao Han bent his body and put his hand back on the spirit-testing plate. With physiological tears in his eyes, he continued to grit his teeth and hold on.

She only felt that the pain lasted for a long time, and the ant finally crawled to her right hand.

When the ant crawled out of the palm of the hand and triggered the spirit-detecting plate, four beams of light of different colors suddenly rose from the plate.
