The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

After Qiu Yinong took the pills to replenish qi and blood, he felt much better. Then Ye Qi told him about his and Xiao Han's decision.

"Xiao Qiu, I'll lend you 50,000 spirit stones, and Xiao Han will lend you 30,000 spirit stones. This should be enough for you to buy the foundation-building pill. From now on, don't come to the beast fight anymore."

After Ye Qi successfully built her foundation, she had to spend spirit stones on many things.

For example, even the lowest-grade flying swords cost over a hundred thousand spirit stones. Without any magic weapon, flying implement, or higher-level, stronger spells, she would be sending herself to death if she went hunting a fourth-level monster alone.

Therefore, as a foundation-building cultivator, in order to accumulate spirit stones, she could only stay in the Monster Forest to chase and fight third-level monsters, and sometimes even second-level monsters.

He bullied the weak with his big body, and did not discriminate between meat and vegetables. As long as anyone could sell spirit stones, he would lure them in. He worked hard in the Monster Forest for several months before he finally bought a low-level flying sword.

That's why, when she was asked to take out a lot of spirit stones, she really didn't have any.

"This, this is not good, right?" Qiu Yinong wanted to refuse and borrow money to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. What if it failed again?

Ye Qi said, "If you want to slowly accumulate spirit stones, that's fine. Come with me to the Monster Forest to hunt. Continuing to fight beasts is truly the most short-sighted approach. Even if you're lucky enough to defeat the monsters every time and don't damage your foundation, have you ever considered that the regeneration of flesh and blood and the healing of wounds will all require the loss of your body's essence and blood?"

Over time, and with more practice, you can say that this will have no effect on your foundation building."

Qiu Yinong was speechless. She understood these principles, of course. But age was not forgiving. She wanted to accumulate spirit stones through ordinary means again, and then wait for the opportunity to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. She didn't know if she would have a chance of success.

Xiao Han directly took out the jade token worth 30,000 spirit stones and said, "I'm sorry that I can't lend you my foundation-building pill, because I don't dare to gamble that I will have the opportunity to buy a foundation-building pill in the future. But I can lend you all the spirit stones I have accumulated."

"No, no, Xiao Han, let alone the Foundation Establishment Pill, I can't even take the spirit stones. It's not easy for you to earn spirit stones, and 30,000 spirit stones is not a small amount." Qiu Yinong hurriedly refused.

She and Ye Qi have been hunting together for more than ten years. They are teammates and good friends. She doesn't even want to accept Ye Qi's help, so how can she have the nerve to borrow spirit stones from Xiao Han, who is just an ordinary friend.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Don't refuse. When you succeed in building your foundation, you can return these spirit stones to me with interest."

Ye Qi also laughed and said, "That's right. If you really feel bad, then hurry up and build your foundation. After that, it will be easy to earn 30,000 spirit stones. Then you can give her some more interest."

As for the interest calculation, does it matter? As long as Qiu Yinong can accept the spirit stones without any psychological burden and stop participating in beast fighting, everything else can be discussed later.

Qiu Yinong pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Han and said, "I'll accept this spirit stone. Don't worry, even if I fail in building my foundation, I will go and earn spirit stones as soon as possible to repay this debt."

After a pause, she added, "Unless I'm as unlucky as He Yanling."

No, it's not just her who is unlucky, Xiao Han is the one who is really unlucky, because Xiao Han has already wasted 30,000 spirit stones. If it happens again, he will be badly implicated by his friend.

No one's spirit stones come from the wind. As independent cultivators, they really have to work very hard to earn money to accumulate a little wealth.

Qiu Yinong was willing to accept their help, so Ye Qi and Xiao Han were relieved.

Whether or not one can successfully build a foundation is really a matter of chance for each individual. All they can do is try their best to help gather the necessary external conditions.

Since Qiu Yinong followed their advice, Ye Qi discussed with her the matter of purchasing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It's still unknown when the Foundation Establishment Pill will be released at the Sihai Trading Company's auction. Since an underground auction will be held on the black market in the next few days, which will include the Foundation Establishment Pill, we might as well bid for it here.

Go to the underground auction and see if you can find any clues about He Yanling's disappearance.

As for Xiao Han, Ye Qi and Qiu Yinong agreed that she didn't need to come to the underground auction.

If Qiu Yinong won the Foundation Establishment Pill, she wouldn't know if she could return to Xinyue City safely. Ye Qi couldn't guarantee that he could protect both Qiu Yinong and Xiao Han.

With one less person, the pressure on her guards would be reduced by half, and Xiao Han really didn't need to take the risk.

This is completely different from watching animal fights.

Xiao Han was not the kind of person who was unreasonable and unreasonable. She knew that they were all doing it for her own good, and she had no intention of coming to the underground auction to see for herself.

Even if there were really good stuff, she wouldn't have the money to buy it. If there were no good stuff, it wouldn't be worth the risk.

The next day, Xiao Han returned to Xinyue City. While continuing to set up his stall, he began to think about how to improve his ability to use magic.

She was very excited to watch the battle between Qiu Yinong and Pangolin last night.

Qiu Yinong didn't use many spells, just a golden spear spell, a freezing spell, and a quicksand spell. The last spell, which unexpectedly transformed the golden shield into a golden wire net, must be one of her little secrets.

Not to mention the little secret techniques for now, she doesn't know the golden spear technique yet, but she knows the golden arrow technique. There are actually many similarities between the two. As long as she thinks about it a little, she should be able to perform it.

The second is the quicksand technique, which she also knows.

As for the freezing spell, she doesn't know how to use it because she doesn't have water-attribute spiritual roots and has never learned this spell.

The only offensive spells she had learned were Wind Blade, Golden Arrow, Quicksand, and Entanglement.

Then there is an earth wall technique with defensive and enemy-trapping functions.

If I use the spells I know to fight against the pangolin from last night, how should I combine them?

After much thought, Xiao Han felt that his practical experience really needed to be improved.

So, after closing her stall early that day, she went to the City Lord's Mansion and asked a deacon disciple of the Juxian Sect if there was a place like a martial arts hall for rent.

After the deacon disciple asked her what she wanted to do, he looked around and found that no one was paying attention. Then he whispered, "I have a plan to take you to the place where we improve our combat power to train and fight directly with the puppets. But the rental fee is 500 spirit stones for half an hour. Do you want to go?"

Xiao Han was still pondering for half an hour whether the price of 500 spirit stones was too high, when he heard the deacon disciple say, "Let me tell you, directly battling and sparring with puppets is a privilege only afforded to inner disciples of a major sect like our Juxian Sect.

The reason why New Moon City has arranged such a training ground, and why all disciples, whether inner or outer, can go, is purely because New Moon City has a good status within the sect, which is why we, the deacon disciples who work here, are given this special treatment."

He naturally wouldn't say that the reason why Xinyue City also arranged a puppet for these deacon disciples to use for competition and to improve their combat skills was purely because Xinyue City earned a lot of spirit stones for the sect, so their treatment increased accordingly.

After listening to the deacon disciple talk about the benefits of sparring with puppets, Xiao Han immediately decided to spend 500 spirit stones to get some actual combat training.

When the deacon disciple saw that she really agreed to the price, he immediately began to consider how to implement it.

That is the sect's facility, and independent cultivators will definitely not be allowed to go in for training.

He looked Xiao Han up and down, then said with a hint of disdain, "You're a bit old and not pretty, so pretending to be my Daoist partner is really a bit of a stretch. Forget it, for the sake of spirit stones, I'll take a small loss. When the time comes, you can pretend to be my Daoist partner and follow me where I go to play, and then I'll secretly let you train."

Xiao Han looked at the young deacon disciple in front of him who was in his early twenties and at the sixth level of Qi training, and he felt a little heartbroken.

You didn't even ask me if I was willing. Do you think I'd be willing to act with a little brat like you?

Is this still my profit?
