The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Although they were mentally prepared for the high consumption in Crescent City before coming here, they still couldn't help but feel a little unable to accept it when they actually came into contact with it.

Originally, in order to ensure their own cultivation was not affected, even fellow cultivators, masters and apprentices, had their own training rooms. It was even more impossible for a solo cultivator to live in the same room with others.

But now, to save on rent, Ye Qi and Qiu Yinong decided to live in the same room. Actually, this was also because they had both reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training and no longer needed to cultivate. Otherwise, even if they trusted each other, they wouldn't share a room.

The two decided to share a house temporarily and separate after getting the Foundation Establishment Pill.

He Yanling and Xiao Han had to rent houses separately.

He Yanling was not only attracted by his identity as a male cultivator, but more importantly, the house that cost 3,000 spirit stones a month was only about 20 square meters in size, and it was too crowded for three people to live in.

Besides, each rental house has only one access control sign. The more people there are, the more inconvenient it will be to enter and exit.

As for Xiao Han, it was for her own cultivation. She was only at the beginning of the ninth level of Qi training and had to make the most of her time to cultivate.

Besides, she was going to stay in the city to do the scrap business. Her occupation was different from the other three people, and her work and rest schedule was also different. There was only one access control sign, so it would be very inconvenient to share the house.

Therefore, Xiao Han and He Yanling both took out 21,000 spirit stones at once with great reluctance.

Ye Qi and Qiu Yinong can share the rent.

The vacant rooms were in different locations, and Xiao Hanlian no longer had the chance to continue being neighbors with Ye Qi.

Fortunately, everyone is in the same fairy city and can communicate with each other using sound transmission notes.

Crescent City was built on a plain, equivalent to the bottom of a basin on a topographic map. Therefore, the city was completely different from other great immortal cities, with its terrain being completely flat.

Those identical and neatly planned stone houses for rent do not give the impression that this is a fantasy world of cultivating immortals.

Led by the Juxian Sect's deacon disciples to her stone house, she saw along the way that all the rental houses were single-story stone houses, only about ten feet high, or about four and a half meters high. She couldn't help but ask, "Why don't they build a few more floors here so there are more houses to rent?"

The young disciple leading the way glanced at Xiao Han with disdain, "Do you think everyone else is stupid? There must be a reason for not building upwards."

Then, no further explanation.

Therefore, the fool Xiao Han could only shut up in confusion.

It took Xiao Han a while to realize that because of the large spirit gathering array in Crescent City, the spiritual energy was only dense within a distance of more than ten feet above the ground, so the rental houses here could only be built on one floor.

As for the shops on the streets and the two- or three-story buildings on top, they are all used for business. No one uses them for living and practicing, so naturally they don't care about the concentration of spiritual energy.

Opening the heavy stone door, I saw a space of about 20 square meters, which was divided into a training room and bedroom, a small living room and a small kitchen.

There was really nothing inside except a stone table and four stone benches in the small living room, a stone bed in the bedroom, and a stove and stone slabs for storage in the kitchen.

This is really not much better than the cave-like monk's cave she rented for the first time in Fuyuan City.

Fortunately, she felt the spiritual energy in the house, and she no longer cared about the cramped and simple nature of the house.

After settling down, the next thing is naturally to find a way to make money.

Although she could continue her scrap collection business, she had to start from scratch to prepare everything in a new place.

She needed to find a suitable location for her stall and the location of the underground fire chambers that were available for rent in Xinyue City. She also needed to find a shop or refinery that could purchase the raw materials she had smelted and separated.

These are what she needs to find out now.

When entering the city, she saw a cultivator selling a map of the Monster Forest and the distribution of monsters around Crescent City not far from the city gate. She could also set up a stall not far from the city gate in the future.

Anyway, her clients are basically hunting monks.

As for whether setting up stalls at the city gate is allowed, she can try it first.

Now that we have a place to set up the stall, the next step is to find a fire room and a shop to purchase raw materials.

Tian Tian once learned alchemy here, which means that Xinyue City must have an underground fire room for rent.

Xiao Han came to the street, first found a bookstore, and went in to browse for a while.

The things sold in the bookstore are really diverse. There are not only books for monks, but also books for children's enlightenment and the four treasures of the study.

The books that monks read are not only paper books, but many are also engraved on jade slips.

Then, Xiao Han forgot that he went to the bookstore to buy a map of Crescent City, and was so engrossed in reading the titles of the books.

The bookstores in the large immortal cities they passed through on their journey also had all kinds of books. However, they were in a hurry to get on with their journey, so when they went into the bookstores, they only wanted maps and specific books, and didn't even have time to look at the titles of other books.

Now, when Xiao Han saw those books that recorded the names of spells and techniques, he was really excited.

However, when she thought about the magic books she bought in Fuyuan City and realized that she couldn't learn by herself, the excitement she felt at seeing the treasure immediately died down.

She couldn't just waste the spirit stones in her hand now. She had to control her desire to buy things and not spend money on a bunch of useless books.

After reminding himself, Xiao Han finally calmed down and bought a detailed topographic map of the surrounding area including Crescent City.

Then, without leaving, she took a closer look inside the store.

I looked around but couldn't find any place names related to Dihuo Peak.

Seeing that the shop owner was no longer busy, she simply walked over, pointed at the map and asked, "Fellow Daoist, where is the underground fire room in Xinyue City where we can make pills and weapons?"

The male cultivator, who was either the shop owner or a clerk, glanced at her and said, "The Earth Fire Room, where you can refine pills and weapons, is quite far from New Moon City. If you want to go there, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion. There's a special teleportation array there."

Xiao Han finally understood, thanked him, and immediately rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

After asking around a bit more, I finally found the special teleportation array leading to the underground fire room.

The cost of one teleportation is fifty spirit stones, and one teleportation occurs every quarter of an hour.

Xiao Han: Why does it feel like the bus is leaving on time?

I checked the time and it was almost 5 p.m., which meant the next bus was about to depart. Oh, no, it was the next transmission time.

Then, when the time came, a deacon disciple shouted, "Go to the Earth Fire Chamber to hand over the spirit stone, and prepare to be transferred."

Xiao Han paid the spirit stone and stood on the teleportation array with another female cultivator who had hurried over.

Well, this female cultivator didn’t hand over the spirit stones, she just showed something to the disciple, and the deacon disciple let her go.

I don’t know if this female cultivator is a disciple of the Juxian Sect, so she doesn’t have to pay the transportation fee, or if she gets something equivalent to a monthly bus pass.

Xiao Han stood on the teleportation array, glanced at the female cultivator beside him, his thoughts scattered.

After another dizzying spin, she appeared in another stone hall.

Huh, she didn’t feel dizzy this time. It seemed that the distance from Crescent City to the Underground Fire Chamber was not too far, so the space compression was not strong and she didn’t feel dizzy.
