The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han: I always thought that the plots about falling off a cliff and then discovering a cave containing martial arts secrets left by predecessors, and the protagonist learning the secrets and becoming famous in the martial arts world, were all made up by the author.

Ah, no, it should be that the protagonist meets a powerful cultivator who is in trouble, and then relies on this golden thigh to play around in the world of cultivation from then on.

It turns out that novels really are based on life.

I never thought that there would be a day when I, Xiao Han, would become the protagonist.

Although he has not yet obtained the martial arts secret book, and it is still in the hands of a person who looks like a big devil, Xiao Han is already full of confidence in the wonderful prospect of learning peerless martial arts, becoming a martial arts master, no, possessing high-level skills, quickly cultivating to the Jindan realm, and becoming a high-level cultivator admired by everyone.

In just a moment, Xiao Han's thoughts had already spread out of control.

"It's a pity that such a good martial art will be lost in the future." Xie Yi's words successfully pulled Xiao Han, who was trapped in a wonderful fantasy, back to reality.

How could I forget that the person in front of me is not a good person. He would definitely not think that I have a unique talent and am suitable to inherit his mantle and carry it forward as soon as he sees me.

"Senior, I wonder what I need to do in order for you to pass on your skills to me?"

Xiao Han was not stupid either. Since Xie Yi said it specifically, it was obvious that he was trying to lure him into taking the bait.

But the bait smelled so good that she couldn't resist taking a bite.

Could it be that the other party wanted me to help him escape? But he was so powerful that he couldn't escape, so how could a mere Karami have the ability to do so?

Xiao Han was still lost in thought when he heard Xie Yi say, "I'm trapped here. Besides escaping, the only thing that interests me is my appetite. Since you can't help me escape, the only thing you can do is probably to get me some more delicious food to satisfy my appetite. Maybe if I'm happy with the food, I'll pass on the skills to you one day."

Xiao Han immediately said happily, "Senior, I will go back to Xinyue City right away and collect a lot of delicious food for you."

Xie Yi said calmly: "Well, go ahead."

Xiao Han was stunned. Did the other party really agree to let him go?

This, this, doesn't it require some threats? Or perhaps a reminder of the oath I swore.

Ugh! Are you asking for trouble?

She immediately bowed hastily, then summoned the flying sword that had landed in the distance. After jumping on it, she said, "I'll also find some fruit and snacks for you, Senior," fearing that he would regret it.

Then he wanted to escape on his sword.

His eyes fell on the six-leaf three-flowered grass that he had not had time to dig up, and he paused again.

No, she had to stay calm. What if she left too hastily and the other party became suspicious and took her back?

She had to make up for the loss of the bamboo rat and the demon pig, as well as the fright she had suffered.

Therefore, Xiao Han calmed his mind, took out the jade shovel, dug out the six-leaf three-flower grass, put it into the storage bag, and then controlled the flying sword to fly upwards at a normal speed.

The top of the crack was right before her eyes, and she could escape the clutches of the devil in an instant. She immediately and frantically injected spiritual energy into the flying sword, and then flew forward at the fastest speed she could control the sword, as if a demon was chasing her.

Xie Yi's spiritual consciousness watched Xiao Han digging spiritual herbs, watched her fly upwards pretending to be calm, and then watched her flee as if there was a ghost chasing her. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

No matter how fast she escapes, she will still willingly fall into the trap.

If it was a young and beautiful female cultivator, he would probably keep her by his side. But this female cultivator named Xiao Han was truly unremarkable. She had no looks, was old, wasn't very smart, and was timid and weak-willed.

But she was also the first monk to venture deep into the rift in all these years. Killing her or letting her go would be a loss. It would also be good to keep her to transport some delicious food to herself and relieve her boredom.

Alas! This deadly day finally had a little fun.

After flying over several hills, Xiao Han felt that he was finally safe. He patted his chest and let out a long sigh.

Humph! You really thought I would be seduced by your skills.

No matter how good the skills are, they are not as important as one's life. That person is obviously not a good person. If you deal with him and get crushed to death by him one day, it will be too late to regret it.

It was still midnight, and Xiao Han couldn't enter Crescent City even if he returned. He simply found a big tree, cast a defensive talisman on himself, and sat on the branch to recall everything that had just happened.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Xie Yi would not let her go so easily.

Could it be that he has some other conspiracy against me?

Xiao Han looked through the contents of his storage bag again. Apart from the missing bamboo rat, half a head of demon pork, and nuts, there was nothing suspicious.

So, this high-level cultivator who looks good but has a bad temper and is definitely not a good person, would really let me go like this?

Even though they were already far away from the cave with the crack, Xiao Han was still frightened and in disbelief.

When it was getting light, Xiao Han once again controlled his flying sword and flew back to Crescent City.

After entering the city, seeing the monks coming and going and the familiar street scenes, she really felt that the scene under the crack was all a dream.

All the monsters and herbs harvested in the Yanling Mountains were sold, leaving only the six-leaf three-flower spiritual herb.

Xiao Han decided to take this herb to the Sihai Trading Company's auction.

After identifying the herb, the auctioneer from Sihai Trading Company believed that it was old enough to be used in refining the Six-Leaf Three-Flower Pill and agreed to put it on the auction list.

However, the recommended reserve price was only 6,000 spirit stones. As for how much it would fetch at auction, it was hard to predict. After all, it would require the help of a skilled alchemist, along with some supplementary herbs, to successfully refine the Six-Leaf Three-Flower Pill.

The auction house's handling fee is 10% of the auction item's transaction price. Even though Xiao Han felt bad about the high handling fee, he had no choice but to agree.

After dealing with the contract matters for the auction items, Xiao Han was about to leave when he suddenly thought of the martial arts technique. He hurriedly asked the manager who signed the contract whether there would be books and jade slips of martial arts techniques for sale at the next auction.

The manager said, "Good techniques rarely appear at auctions. Our Sihai Trading Company won't accept inferior ones to avoid damaging our reputation. Since you have items at the auction, I can tell you that there will probably be no technique books at the next auction."
