The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xie Yi exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, which transformed into a water mirror. He looked at his peerless appearance and found that it had not changed much from before. Only then did he feel satisfied.

"Okay, grill some meat for me quickly."

He began to urge Xiao Han to grill the meat impatiently again.

To be honest, Xiao Han didn't have much experience in barbecue. After all, she had always lived in the fairy city, and the caves of the Qi-cultivating monks were all equipped with kitchens. When there was meat to eat, they could just stir-fry or stew it.

But at this moment, no matter how poor her barbecue skills were, she had to go ahead and do it.

Fortunately, there was a small box in her storage bag filled with salt and seasoning spices. She smeared the seasoning on the bamboo rat meat, then used the object control technique to suspend the bamboo rat in the air, and then cast a fireball spell.

This was the first time he used the fireball technique after becoming a foundation-building cultivator. He did not control the output of spiritual power well, and burned half of the bamboo rat's body in one go.

Xie Yi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Then his face darkened, "How dare you play tricks on me?"

Xiao Han hurriedly explained, "I didn't dare. I just didn't expect that after building the foundation, the power of the fireball technique would be more than ten times greater, and I didn't grasp the timing well for a while."

Xie Yi sneered: "So, you are a casual cultivator with such poor ability to control magic, but you can still live safely until now. Should it be called a miracle?"

Xiao Han: Am I not worthy of living?

"I used to be a small trader in the Immortal City and rarely used magic. Only after I successfully established my foundation did I dare to go out hunting. This is my first hunt since then."

Xie Yi thought of the monsters in her storage bag and couldn't help but sneer, "With your ability to control magic, you can only bully monsters that are one realm lower than you."

Xiao Han: It hurts, but it’s the truth.

"Alright, roast it quickly. If you can't feed me enough today, I'll roast you and eat you."

Xiao Han: I regretted it a thousand times, but why did I look for the six-leaf three-flowered spiritual herb when I clearly didn't need it anymore.

Forget it, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and regret is useless. It is better to deal with the devil in front of me. After escaping, I will find a way to destroy this devil.

He cut off the burnt half of the bamboo rat's body and threw it away, then controlled his spiritual power, gradually increasing the burning range and temperature of the flame.

Gradually, the aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of seasonings drifted deep into the ground in this dark crack.

Xie Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva and began to think about how to make this female cultivator willingly bring him delicious food often.

As for asking this female cultivator to find a way to help him escape? Forget it, forget about that sweet dream.

Without a formation master following him and without a powerful person with Jindan cultivation to help him, there is no way he can escape from this underground cage.

And the female cultivator in front of him? It was a miracle that she was still alive. Could he still count on her?

Forget it. After being trapped for so many years, I should be satisfied if I can still enjoy my appetite from time to time in the future.

Xiao Han finally roasted the remaining half of the bamboo rat, put out the flame, and was about to hand it over when his eyes blurred and the bamboo rat meat in his hand had been rolled over by Xie Yi's vines.

Xie Yi didn't care whether the barbecue was hot or not and took a bite.

Although the grade of this monster was still too low, far inferior to the fourth-grade monster meat he had eaten before, he had not eaten meat for many years, and his taste for meat had already dropped significantly. At this moment, he only felt that this bamboo rat meat was a supreme delicacy.

"Keep roasting and roast all the monster meat in your storage bag."

Xie Yi ate meat with big mouthfuls while giving orders.

Xiao Han immediately felt miserable.

Not to mention the other monsters in her storage bag, just that three or four hundred kilogram monster pig alone could roast her to a crisp.

But could she refuse? No!

Xiao Han resigned himself to his fate and took out the demon pig, then began to gut it, skin it, and remove its bones.

Fortunately, there was a wooden rack in her storage bag, and she took it out to place the decomposed demon pork.

However, with so much demon pork, the salt and spices she had stored in her storage bag were not enough to marinate it all.

Xiao Han cautiously said to Xie Yi, who was watching her every move after eating his fill of bamboo rat meat, "Senior Xie, I only have so many seasonings in my storage bag. If you want to roast all the meat, you must go back and get some."

Xie Yi had checked Xiao Han's storage bag, and her every move just now was also under the coverage of his spiritual sense, so he naturally knew that Xiao Han was not lying.

So he just said, "Grill those that are pickled first."

Xiao Han cheered up and started to grill the wild boar meat bit by bit.

Xie Yi was full of barbecue, but he felt that all meat was a bit greasy. So he rolled Xiao Han's storage bag over again and took out the nuts to eat.

He did not eat as elegantly and carefully as Xiao Han, but put the whole nut into his mouth and ate it casually like cracking melon seeds.

Xiao Han worked hard to roast the pork until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, and finally the marinated demon pork was cooked.

She still had the small storage bag that Qiu Yinong had given her when he returned the spirit stone. Xiao Han put some of her clothes and other personal belongings in this small storage bag and then put it in her arms.

In order to pack the roasted pork, she transferred the clothes into the large storage bag, and then put the roasted pork into the small storage bag.

"Senior, I have sworn an oath and will definitely not betray you. How about you ask me to go back to New Moon City and buy some seasonings so I can grill more meat for you?"

Xiao Han gave another careful suggestion, but what she was thinking in her heart was, if I come back again, I will be a bastard.

Xie Yi suddenly asked, "What kind of cultivation technique did you practice after you established your foundation?"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then said with a bitter face, "I haven't obtained any skills yet. I originally planned to come to the Yanling Mountains to hunt some monsters and exchange them for some spirit stones, and then see if I can buy a skills."

Xie Yi sneered and said, "Do you know why it's so difficult for independent cultivators to become powerful? It's because it's not only difficult for independent cultivators to earn cultivation resources, but even if they succeed in building their foundation, it's even harder to obtain a suitable cultivation method. Without a suitable cultivation method, cultivation is like a snail crawling. How can they compare to those cultivators from large sects and families?"

This is also the direct reason why the vast majority of resources in the world of cultivation are always controlled by the major sects and families. Without too many high-level independent cultivators competing with them for cultivation resources, they can continue to prosper from generation to generation.

Xiao Han's heart sank, and he asked without giving up, "Is there no technique suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators on the market?"

Xie Yi snorted, "Of course there are some, but they are all rubbish techniques, and independent cultivators have to spend a lot of money to buy them."

He glanced at Xiao Han and said leisurely, "The technique I practice is a very good one."
