The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han came to the depths of the crack as if he was familiar with the route.

Seeing her, Xie Yi said dissatisfiedly: "It took you so long to come here. It seems that you are not interested in my skills."

Xiao Han immediately complained, "Senior, you've seen my storage bag and know how much I have. I'm about to move house and pay rent, and the spirit stones in my storage bag aren't even enough to cover a year's rent. For now, I can only hunt in the mountains to exchange for spirit stones."

Xie Yi thought that she was indeed very poor, snorted, and said nothing more.

Xiao Han immediately took out the delicious food, wine, and cakes as if they were treasures.

When Xie Yi saw the spiritual wine, he immediately rolled it in front of him, opened it and tasted it.

Then he said with satisfaction: "The spiritual wine this time is not bad, but it is too little. What can one jar of wine do? Send me twenty jars of this wine tomorrow. Send me twenty jars of this wine every month from now on. You can have some snacks to go with it, but forget about the cakes and other things."

When Xiao Han did the math, he found that the wine alone would cost 20,000 spirit stones a month, plus the side dishes, that was more than 20,000 spirit stones.

If she wasn't given some great benefits, she would rather break her oath.

Seeing Xiao Han's bitter face and darting eyes, Xie Yi seemed to understand what she was thinking. He said calmly, "A local-level technique can be sold for at least a million spirit stones. How long do you think it will take me to drink enough spirit stones with this little bit of wine?"

Earth-level technique?

Xiao Han's eyes widened in shock. After being briefed on the subject by the treasure-hunting pavilion's owner, she knew how rare Earth-level techniques were.

Is Xie Yi trying to deceive her?

Xie Yi said calmly, "This technique can be practiced all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. If you don't understand its value, you can ask someone."

"I understand, I understand. I understand everything. I will bring you more wine tomorrow." Xiao Han bowed deeply and responded with a flattering smile.

Xie Yi was very satisfied with her reaction.

He didn't lie. The technique was indeed a ground-level technique, but whether it was suitable for her to practice was another matter.

When Xiao Han returned, he felt that his body was lighter even when he was controlling the flying sword.

Earth-level skills.

As long as she can really obtain the earth-level skills, it would be fine to offer twenty jars of spirit wine every month to this ancestor.

Didn't all the cultivators go to great lengths to gather cultivation resources just to cultivate faster? She just considered these spirit stones as rent for a place with richer spiritual energy.

However, when she flew near Crescent City, she did not enter the city, but flew towards the Monster Forest.

She came out today not only to bring food to Xie Yi, but also to go to the black market.

She hadn't dealt with the two robbers' belongings and storage bags yet. Now that they were asking for money everywhere, she needed to get rid of these things that were both annoying and unnecessary.

I had come here with Ye Qi once before, and I remembered the route and code words.

It was still the same few stone houses, and there were still two Qi-refining monks guarding the gate.

When the two saw Xiao Han, they both bowed deeply and said, "This is a private cave. I wonder if you have been invited by our master?"

Xiao Han: "I heard your master got rich, so I came to congratulate him."

The two immediately made a gesture to invite him in, "Senior, please come in!"

After entering, I paid ten spirit stones for the ticket, and then I was able to actually enter the black market.

It was still bustling and noisy inside.

Xiao Han walked up to a female cultivator's stall and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do I need to pay rent for setting up a stall here? How do I pay the rent?"

Seeing that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the female cultivator quickly replied, "Senior, if you pay one hundred spirit stones, you can set up a stall for a day."

Compared to the prices in New Moon City, this price wasn't expensive. Besides, few of the vendors here had goods from clean sources.

Xiao Han went to the deacon's office inside to hand in the spirit stones, then chose an empty place, placed the items to be processed, and put up a sign advertising a 20% discount on all items.

Other people's goods require bargaining, but she simply marked a low price, which attracted some monks who came to buy bargains and gathered around her.

Soon, she had sold most of the goods she wanted to dispose of, except for the two people's clothes and other too personal things. She didn't want to sell them, so she sold them to a broker at half price.

The trip to the black market also earned her more than 10,000 spirit stones. She only needed to add a little more to complete the task of making 20 jars of spirit wine.

The next day, Xiao Han brought twenty jars of fine wine and came to the crack again.

Not long after entering the crack, Xiao Han suddenly heard a faint whimpering sound coming from deep underground.

If I didn't know the true situation deep in the crack, I would have thought this place was haunted when I first heard the sound.

However, even though he knew that there was no ghost down there, Xiao Han didn't dare to go down.

Seeing the big guy crying, would the other party feel humiliated and kill him to silence him?

But she was still hesitating when she heard Xie Yi's roar, "Come down quickly and give me the wine."

Xiao Han was startled and hesitated for a moment before continuing to steer the flying sword downwards.

Fortunately, the sobbing stopped.

When Xiao Han landed in front of Xie Yi, his handsome face was already calm, with no trace of his previous drunken and out-of-control appearance.

Xiao Han hurriedly took out twenty jars of spirit wine, lined them up in a row and showed them to him.

"Senior, the twenty jars of wine are here."

Xie Yi exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, opened the seal, then used the object control technique to control the wine jar and poured it directly into his mouth.

Most of the spirit wine spilled onto the ground, which made Xiao Han feel heartbroken.

What was spilled was not wine, but spirit stones.

A jar of fine wine was only half drunk, and the other half was wasted.

Xiao Han felt heartbroken because all the money wasted was her hard-earned money.

Xie Yi threw the empty jar far away. He suddenly stared at Xiao Han with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Just when Xiao Han was about to flee from the sight of him, feeling apprehensive, Xie Yi said, "Did you know that my cultivation technique comes from the He Huan Sect, which has long since disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation for tens of thousands of years?"

Xiao Han didn't understand what it meant for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Xie Yi suddenly burst into laughter, and said while laughing: "I mean, my martial arts method is a dual cultivation method. Hahaha..."
