The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Ye Qi and the other two looked at each other, and finally did not refuse. The four of them divided the snake meat equally.

Although they wanted to repay Xiao Han, they were currently a whole. If they were divided too clearly, it would seem that they were rejecting and alienating her.

He Yanling said regretfully, "It's a pity that we can't just barbecue here in the wild. Otherwise, I really want to satisfy my hunger right now."

Ye Qi smiled and said, "I wonder if there's any odor-isolating array plate for sale. If I buy one, I can eat meat freely in the wild."

Qiu Yinong said with a click of his tongue, "You're only thinking about eating meat. Can't you smell the stench in this snake den?"

After saying that, he used the cleaning technique to clean the cave.

Xiao Han had just received some income, making up for the loss of the ineffective high-level defense talisman. He was thinking about doing more to repay his teammates, so he immediately said, "Let me do it. Cleaning it up like this alone may not be enough."

After saying that, he grasped the mother sword of the mother-and-child sword and infused it with spiritual power.

The palm-length mother sword suddenly turned into a long sword more than three feet long. She held it in her hand and slashed at the narrow place in the cave.

A sharp sword energy flashed, and soon, the rocks in the narrow part of the cave were cut off by her and moved outside. The whole cave suddenly became much wider and brighter.

Xiao Han then used his sword energy to peel off a layer of the giant python's inner snake nest, whether it was the rocks on the ground or the surrounding rocks, even the ground where the python crawled in and out was not spared.

After the stones and debris were removed and thrown far away, and then cleaned with cleaning techniques, the mountain breeze blew away the fishy smell in the cave.

Qiu Yinong smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao is still the most patient and careful."

Xiao Han chuckled and said, "No one wants to sleep in a snake's den, so we have to redecorate it."

He blurted out a modern word, but fortunately the three of them didn't take it too seriously.

The next day, the three of them continued their journey towards Crescent City. However, the area they were in was surrounded by dense forests, so their progress was slow.

I kept moving forward like this until the road ahead suddenly turned into a cliff.

While the other three were still looking ahead, Xiao Han looked at the bottom of the cliff and suddenly exclaimed, "There are people living down there."

The other three were startled and looked down hurriedly.

Sure enough, under the cliff that was hundreds of feet high, many roofs were indeed exposed in places that were not covered by the tree canopy.

"This, this is a paradise?"

For a moment, Xiao Han forgot that this was a world of immortal cultivation where humans could exist anywhere. The first thing that came to his mind was the legendary isolated Peach Blossom Spring.

"Which immortal cultivation family is the Utopia?" Ye Qi asked puzzledly.

Xiao Han finally realized what was happening and laughed hastily, "It's not a family of immortal cultivators, it's just a metaphor for a group of people who live deep in the mountains, isolated from the world."

He Yanling smiled and said, "According to what you said, there are too many paradises on earth."

They chatted for a while and then discussed how to move forward.

If you want to avoid the unknown forces living below, you must follow the direction of the cliff and find a place to go around it from the left and right sides.

If you want to go in a straight line, you can only go down to the bottom of the cliff and deal with this force.

In the spirit of "less trouble is worse than more" and to avoid getting themselves killed unjustly, the few people decided to take a detour.

But just as they returned to the woods, they heard a loud shout: "Who are you?"

A few dozen feet in front of them, a young male cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training and a young round-faced female cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training were looking at them with a wary look on their faces.

He Yanling hurriedly explained, "We are just monks passing by."

However, before he could finish his words, the young female cultivator had already taken out a small ball and threw it upwards with force.

The ball exploded in the sky with a loud bang and a burst of black smoke.

The four members of the relocation team all changed their expressions.

"Run!"

Ye Qi let out a strange cry and ran wildly in the direction previously agreed upon.

The other three also ran as fast as they could.

When the two young monks, a man and a woman, saw these people running away without saying a word, they felt that these people must not be good people, so they immediately chased after them.

He Yanling felt that if everyone ran together, they would be too conspicuous. It would be better to run separately so that they could hide more easily. She immediately shouted as she ran, "Go separately and contact each other later."

The other three immediately stopped running in the same direction and went into the woods.

The round-faced girl chasing behind saw those people running very fast and then dispersing. She didn't know which one to chase and immediately stamped her feet and said, "No, we can't let them get away."

Then she threw a warning fly ball that exploded into green smoke.

After running for about ten miles, Xiao Han suddenly felt that running like this was not a good idea. How far could he go on someone else's territory?

She simply circled around and ran back to the edge of the cliff. She then found a spot with low bushes, provided some camouflage for herself, and sat cross-legged in the bushes, casting a Breath-Suppressing Talisman.

Well, this trick should be to hide the dark under the lamp.

However, the Yin family at the bottom of the cliff, after seeing the warning signal coming from above the cliff, immediately ordered several of their Qi-cultivating disciples with good cultivation to go up and check.

But before the people sent out had even left their homes, the red warning signal came again.

Then, the two foundation-building cultivators of the Yin family took off into the air at the same time and flew above the cliff.

Under the spiritual search and high-altitude interception by the two foundation-building monks, He Yanling, Ye Qi, and Qiu Yinong, who were trying to escape, were caught one by one without any resistance, thrown on the flying swords and brought back to the bottom of the cliff.

The two foundation-building monks both frowned after hearing from their clansman who called the police that there were four strangers in total.

There was actually a Qi-cultivating cultivator who escaped right under their noses?

The two took off again and expanded the search range.

However, they searched the area within a radius of hundreds of miles but still couldn't find the target they were looking for.

However, it doesn’t matter if we can’t find them. We have already caught three of them. We can just interrogate these three Qi-cultivating monks first.

He Yanling, whose spiritual energy was sealed, was the first one to be escorted up.

He Yanling saw the hall was full of people. As soon as he could speak, he immediately cried out in protest, "We are just cultivators passing through your place. We have never committed murder or arson, nor have we committed any crime. I wonder why the elders treat us like this?"

The head of the Yin family snorted and laughed, "You haven't done anything wrong, so why are you running away? Tell me, what are your identities?"

He Yanling explained the origins of his group, his face filled with bitterness as he said, "We are just a few casual cultivators. We walked all the way here in fear. Seeing that there were people living below the cliff, we wanted to avoid them. But when we turned around, we ran into your people. Without waiting for our explanation, you sent out a warning signal. We were so scared that we had no choice but to run away."

At this moment, a cultivator sitting below the Yin family's Patriarch suddenly sneered, "Really?"

Then, he hit He Yanling with a stream of spiritual power.

He Yanling immediately felt as if there were millions of ants gnawing at his bones. The sore and painful feeling made his body go limp and he fell to the ground and rolled around.
