The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The place Xiao Han is going to this time is the Monster Forest.

She has been in Crescent City for three years, but she has never been to the famous Monster Forest.

She had also heard Ye Qi and the others mention that the Monster Forest was different from other mountainous terrains around Crescent City.

The terrain of the Monster Forest is famous for its strangeness and danger.

Even when Ye Qi and his companions were only hunting in the area closest to Crescent City, they would often stray into areas with strange terrain.

There are large forests composed of towering ancient trees, steep and dangerous peaks shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, deep ravines, streams, stone forests, and special areas filled with miasma.

The most important thing is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire monster forest is higher than that in the surrounding areas of Crescent City. The monsters there reproduce and cultivate faster than those in other mountains.

It is precisely this point that is the key to the outbreak of the beast tide.

When the monsters in the Monster Forest multiply beyond a certain limit and the Monster Forest can no longer accommodate so many monsters, those high-level monsters will launch a beast tide to drive these monsters, big and small, out of the Monster Forest and occupy new territories outside.

However, the Monster Forest is blocked by two natural barriers. The remaining two directions are the desert and the Juxian Sect’s territory.

Although Crescent City is built at the exit here, no one knows how many cultivators enter the Monster Forest to hunt every day.

But the consumption of these people on the monsters is just a drop in the bucket.

As a weakling among the foundation-building cultivators, Xiao Han definitely wouldn't dare to go deep into the monster forest.

She controlled the flying sword and flew carefully at a height of one hundred meters above the ground.

When we were still very close to Crescent Moon City, we could occasionally see hunting teams of Qi-cultivating monks walking in the dense forest below.

After flying a little further inside, no one could be seen.

Of course, maybe it’s not that there is no one in this area, but that there is no one within the range of her spiritual sense.

The trees here blocked out the sun, and from time to time there was fog that could affect her spiritual consciousness, making it inconvenient for her to search for spiritual herbs and monsters at high altitudes.

Xiao Han thought about it and flew down on his sword.

Then he poured spiritual power into his legs, held the flying sword that had shrunk to about one foot in his hand, and began to fly through the dense forest.

It has to be said that the Monster Forest is indeed a natural treasure trove. Even though countless cultivators from Crescent City have been wandering here for years, there are still many spiritual herbs that can be picked in these mountains not far from Crescent City.

However, it is still a little too remote and the quality of the herbs is too low.

Xiao Han thought about his expenses of hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones. It was really not worth wasting time on these herbs worth a dozen or even dozens of spirit stones. He decided to leave them to the Qi-cultivating monks to pick.

Therefore, the focus of the search was still placed on the third-level monster.

After searching for only half an hour, they saw many first- and second-level monsters that were not hiding very well, but they did not find any third-level monsters.

Xiao Han frowned, thinking that he might still be a little too far out, so he got on his flying sword again, flew through the dense forest, and circled a steep cliff.

Xiao Han, standing high in the sky, suddenly saw a stream in front of him and immediately flew over happily.

There should be spiritual fish in a stream like this.

There is never a shortage of monster meat for sale in Xinyue City, but spirit fish are relatively rare and difficult for Qi-cultivating monks to catch, so the unit price has always been very good.

Xiao Han's mouth was watering when he thought about braised fish, boiled fish, pickled fish and so on.

It would be great if you could catch some spirit fish. Not only can you sell them, you can also make some for yourself to eat.

After all, she is now a foundation-building cultivator. She is reluctant to eat delicacies, but she can eat ordinary monster meat, spirit fish and the like as much as she wants.

Otherwise, even if you live a long life, but you are always working like a slave without any enjoyment, what is the point of living a long life?

Xiao Han, who decided to treat himself better in the future, landed beside a deep pool in the stream.

After looking around, he injected spiritual power into the flying sword.

The flying sword instantly turned into a giant sword over two meters long.

Xiao Han used his spiritual sense to control the giant sword, directly submerged it into the pool of water, and then quickly rotated and stirred it.

The powerful spiritual power wave spread in the pond like an electric current, instantly startling the spiritual fish of all sizes in the pond and causing them to jump high out of the water.

While controlling the flying sword to stir the water in the pond, Xiao Han quickly shot out a spiritual thread with his fingers, tied up the spiritual fish that leaped out of the water, and pulled it back to the shore.

The highest grade of these spirit fish is only second grade. In front of Xiao Han, a foundation-building cultivator, they are truly lambs to be slaughtered.

She didn't even have to go into the water, she just had to use her sword to make them restless and then catch them directly.

After a while, there were more than ten spirit fish jumping around on the shore.

Xiao Han threw out a tangling talisman, binding them. Fish should be more valuable alive, but unfortunately, she hadn't had time to buy a spirit beast bag that could hold living creatures, and for a while, she hadn't figured out how to bring them back alive.

The spirit beast bag that can hold living things is much more expensive than the storage bag, and she really hasn't made up her mind to buy it.

Move the flying sword and continuously expand the range of stirring.

She doesn't catch the small ones, she only catches the second-level ones.

Ordinary second-level spirit fish can be sold for twenty spirit stones per kilogram. As for special species, the purchase price will be even higher.

Xiao Han rarely bought spirit fish to eat, so she wasn't very familiar with the types of spirit fish and didn't know which ones were more valuable. Anyway, as long as it was a second-level one, she wasn't going to let it go.

This pond is about seven or eight acres in area. She only needs to catch forty or fifty fish, which will cost about ten thousand spirit stones, which is enough.

Just when Xiao Han was having a great time catching fish, a fourth-level old turtle hiding at the bottom of the water couldn't bear it anymore and shot a water arrow towards Xiao Han on the shore.

Xiao Han was shocked. Oh, the big guy has appeared.

With a wave of his hand, the flying sword flew over quickly. With a burst of spinning and strangling, the water arrow was crushed into pieces.

Seeing the turtle shell faintly emerging in the center of the pool, Xiao Han immediately became excited.

If this old turtle is caught, it can be sold for at least 100,000 spirit stones.

You know, the defensive magic weapon made from a fourth-level turtle shell is not cheap.
