The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

We can’t go deeper today, we have to find a place to rest for the night first.

Xiao Han looked around, found an exposed area of rock, and began to dig. The spiritual wind blade was like a cutting machine, cutting the rock into pieces.

Soon, a three-foot wide, three-foot high, and three-foot deep cave was dug on the vertical and smooth rock wall.

I bent down and crawled in, then sat down cross-legged. It felt okay.

Although I have installed the newly purchased defense array, as long as no monsters above level seven come over, I should be safe, but I still feel that I should do some cover-up.

So he dug up two tall bushes and transplanted them at the entrance of the cave, and pulled some vines with lush leaves to hang on them to make a door curtain.

But when I was hanging the vine door curtain, I thought of myself sitting in this cave, and I couldn't help but think of the Buddha statues in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and I couldn't help laughing.

So, is she pretending to be a fairy? Hehe.

Doing all this is actually not very useful. It is purely a cover for psychological comfort. Then take out the defensive array and activate it to protect the entire cave.

Since becoming a cultivator, he has practiced all night long without fail. Now that he has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training and no longer needs to practice, he still feels uncomfortable at night and tosses and turns, unable to fall asleep.

At this moment, in this wilderness, I can't even roll around in the soft quilt, and I don't have to practice, so I suddenly feel that time is particularly unbearable.

Forget it, I'd better take out the Herb Illustrated Book to pass the time.

After all, it contains text, pictures and knowledge points, and can be viewed repeatedly.

It was not until the light outside had completely dimmed and he was too lazy to pour spiritual power into his eyes to continue reading that he leaned against the stone wall and began to close his eyes and silently recall the knowledge points in the book.

Then, relying on the defensive array that could resist the attacks of foundation-building monks, she fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, before dawn, Xiao Han woke up with a start, glanced at the time on his watch, and began to circulate his spiritual power to repair his stiff body.

After a week, Xiao Han walked out of the small cave feeling refreshed, put away the formation plate, and prepared to start the formal search for medicine in the mountains.

A ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the nocturnal animals and birds began to return to their nests to rest, while the daytime birds began to forage and sing in the dawn.

Xiao Han stood on the hillside, looking towards the east, waiting for the sky to get brighter.

At this moment, she was wearing a dark green suit, her long hair was tied up with a jade crown like a man, and she was wearing grey boots made of third-level Swift Rabbit skin.

If you don't look at the front, it looks like a man from a distance.

When the sky brightened, Xiao Han also walked towards the taller and more majestic mountains.

Among the rolling mountains, a monk who cannot fly at high altitudes is like a drop of water falling into the sea.

Of course, Xiao Han was not wandering around the mountain aimlessly. Since the six-leaf three-flowered spiritual grass liked a cool and humid environment, he naturally did not need to set foot in those open areas and sunny slopes.

After looking around, he walked towards the direction of the mountain that he thought was possible.

There are no paths in the mountains, with towering ancient trees, crisscrossing vines, and steep rocks.

An ordinary mortal would be exhausted after walking for less than an hour. However, Xiao Han had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training and could leap over two meters high from the ground, not to mention her ability to use the Leaping Body Technique and the Light Body Talisman.

Therefore, although the path under your feet is difficult to walk on, it is not a major obstacle.

What she needs to be careful about is not to accidentally enter the lair of a fourth-level monster.

Xiao Han climbed and jumped in the mountains and forests like a monkey, and from time to time he searched the weeds and cracks in the rocks to see if there were any medicinal herbs that he knew of.

It’s true, there are quite a lot of spiritual herbs I saw, but they are all low-grade and worthless herbs, and it’s a waste of time to pick them.

After all, she is no longer the pitiful girl who rushed to do the task of weeding for fifty spirit beads a day when she first entered the world of immortal cultivation.

People always need to grow and life always needs to progress. This is normal.

Hey! That looks like a black jade dry land lotus.

Xiao Han's eyes swept across a plant under the rock and he stopped immediately.

He jumped and stood next to the plant, pouring spiritual power into his eyes, and indeed he saw the extraordinary spiritual charm of the plant flowing.

It seems that this is a spiritual herb of good quality.

She was afraid that she had remembered it wrong, so she took out the herbal encyclopedia and turned to the page about the black jade lotus for comparison.

It’s true.

The black jade dry land lotus is a single-stem plant with the color of black jade and leaves shaped like small lotus leaves.

After comparing their spiritual auras, I guessed this one was at least mid-grade Yellow Rank. A single Black Jade Land Lotus of this rank could fetch over a hundred Spiritual Stones. Even more rare, Black Jade Land Lotuses usually grew in clusters.

In other words, if one plant is discovered, there may be several, more than ten, or even dozens of plants nearby.

Xiao Han was so happy that he didn't even bother to dig first and immediately started searching nearby.

Sure enough, not far below, there were more than ten black jade dry land lotus plants scattered among the weeds and vines.

After checking their spiritual energy, he found that at least ten of them had reached the middle grade of Yellow Rank. In other words, this patch of spiritual herbs had yielded an income of over a thousand spirit stones.

Sure enough, high risk means high returns!

Isn't this faster and simpler than her collecting waste in front of the street stall and then painstakingly melting and separating the waste into magical tools?

Xiao Han took out the prepared jade shovel and started digging.

In addition to learning how to identify medicinal herbs, one also needs to learn how to dig, collect, and store them. Otherwise, if the roots of some herbs are damaged, their medicinal properties may be lost.

When Qiu Yinong returned the spirit stones, she also gave her a small storage bag.

Although it is small, it can hold a few sacks of herbs.

Of course, spiritual herbs must be of high quality and appearance, so they cannot be packed in sacks.

Xiao Han made a wooden shelf with several layers of partitions and placed it inside. Some common herbs that did not need to be placed in jade boxes could be placed directly on the shelf.

No matter what, with these black jade dry land lotus, even if she doesn't gain anything today, it will be worth it.
