The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

When Xiao Han suggested it earlier, she had only vaguely suggested teaming up, not directly inviting Su Zihou. After all, Su Zihou had a high level of cultivation and good equipment, and for her and Li Moyun to follow him would be like teaming up with a big boss to kill monsters in a game, purely to take advantage and gain experience.

At this moment, Su Zihou took the initiative to propose to form a team, and she also thought it through. At worst, when distributing the spoils, Su Zihou would get the biggest share and distribute according to work.

Li Moyun was not interested in hunting, but everyone was kind enough to help him make money, so he couldn't refuse.

"I'll make some preparations first, then go hunting."

He used to stay in the fairy city to refine weapons. If he really wanted to go hunting, he had nothing but magic weapons, so it would definitely not work.

Xiao Han and Su Zihou naturally had no objection, so the three of them exchanged communication talismans and agreed to meet at the city gate leading to the Monster Forest two days later.

Su Zihou actually wanted everyone to use the instant messaging jade talisman, as it was more convenient to communicate. However, he thought about the fact that his two casual cultivator friends seemed to be short of money, and the instant messaging jade talismans were not cheap, so he eventually swallowed the proposal.

The three of them chatted in the teahouse for more than an hour before parting.

Su Zihou naturally paid for the tea. This wasn't because Xiao Han and Li Moyun felt comfortable taking advantage, but when it came to eating and drinking among friends, it was best to take turns. There was no need to rush to pay, and no need to constantly try to take advantage.

Xiao Han had originally planned to go hunting in the Monster Forest alone, but now he had to join a hunting team and didn't have to go for the time being. For a while, he felt like he had nothing to do.

I have just been practicing in seclusion for three days and I want to relax and don’t want to continue practicing.

After thinking about it, I decided to buy some food and wine and go see Xie Yi.

Although the agreed time of January has not come yet, Xie Yi had to go and thank her for teaching her how to catch old turtles last time.

When Xie Yi saw her again, he immediately said, "Go find all the stories written by 'Wandering in Different Time and Space' and show them to me."

Xiao Han: Wow, it seems that using storybooks to kill time is the right thing to do.

It's just that she used this pen name to write Long Ao Tianwen, and he has already read all the books she wrote. If he wants to read them again, she doesn't have them anymore. The later books are all Feng Ao Tianwen.

"Senior, it's not that I don't want to get her storybooks for you. The problem is that she hasn't published any more books since 'Wandering in Another Time and Space'. How about I go back and look for similar storybooks and bring some to you?"

Xiao Han suggested.

Xie Yi suddenly lost interest.

No matter how wonderful those stories were, they had nothing to do with me. As I was now, I had no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage, let alone ascending to the upper realms. I was just barely surviving.

"Tell me, after a Nascent Soul cultivator cultivates to the end, can he really achieve Divine Transformation and Ascension?"

Xie Yi's irrelevant reply made Xiao Han stunned for a moment, but then he realized that the other party was discussing with him whether the story could become a reality.

She was a little embarrassed. In the world of immortal cultivation in this time and space, there was no such thing as becoming a god and ascending to heaven. When she wrote the storybook, she naturally used the format and routines of modern fantasy novels. Therefore, she really didn't know how to respond to Xie Yi's words.

In this time and space, it is better to say that cultivators are living in a system different from that of mortals rather than cultivating immortality.

Because the cultivators here don't have the concept of becoming a spirit and ascending to heaven, the Nascent Soul stage ends there.

The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is only 1,500 years. Ultimately, Nascent Soul cultivators are merely a class of individuals with greater power and a longer lifespan. In the end, everyone returns to dust.

Xiao Han had worked hard to earn money and cultivate over the years, all in the hope of living a few more years. She was still at the bottom of the cultivator ranks, so how could she care about such a distant question as whether she could achieve the Divine Transformation and Ascension after reaching the Nascent Soul stage?

At this moment, when Xie Yi asked this question, she thought about it carefully and realized that this world of cultivation seemed to be a castrated version compared to the world of cultivation in those fantasy novels she had read.

No, to be exact, it's like the lowest-level and most backward interface, with no hope for follow-up.

And this is not only reflected in ascension. Many elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, formations, etc. in the world of immortal cultivation are not available in this world.

She suddenly wanted to discuss these issues with Xie Yi, so she said, "Senior, you are also a great cultivator. You must know more about the highest level of cultivators than I do. Have you ever heard of anyone in our world of immortal cultivation who ascended to heaven a long time ago?"

After a pause, she changed her words, "In other words, long ago in the world of immortal cultivation, was there the idea of the path to immortality?"

The phrase "Eternal Life" and this idea had always existed in her storybooks. However, she wrote them purely to make a living, and the people she knew in Fuyuan City were all lowly Qigong practitioners.

Life is hard for everyone, so who would think about the path to immortality? I guess when people see these words in the storybook, they just laugh it off as a story.

She was discussing with Xie Yi now because she wanted to know whether this world would be like the routine in many fantasy novels, where the way of heaven was actually flawed and therefore the cultivators in this world could not ascend.

Or maybe this world is just a huge cage.

Or maybe the secrets of this world were obscured by some powerful formation, thus blocking the path to ascension.

After Xie Yi finished reading the storybook, he had been comparing it to reality. Therefore, in response to Xiao Han's question, he answered with certainty, "Neither of these exist. All cultivators assume that the Nascent Soul stage has reached its peak, and then one will die after their lifespan runs out. There is no such thing as ascension, nor is there any such thing as the path to immortality."

The immortality they talked about actually meant cultivating to the Nascent Soul stage and having a lifespan of 1,500 years. This was completely different from the immortal path described in the storybooks.

Xiao Han immediately said, "So, there must be something wrong with this world of cultivation. No, to be more precise, there must be something wrong with this world. The current situation definitely doesn't fit the term 'cultivation of immortals.' The ultimate goal of cultivating immortals is to become like an immortal. And an immortal definitely lives for more than just fifteen hundred years."

Xie Yi thought this made sense. Thinking that all these insights came from the storybooks, he said, "Why don't you go find Wandering Away from Time and Space, and I'll discuss this with him personally. Since he makes a living by writing storybooks, his cultivation level is naturally not high. It should be more than enough for you to capture him."

Xiao Han: I’m going to catch myself?

But Wandering Different Time and Space is standing in front of you, discussing with you.

But she didn't dare reveal her identity. Xie Yi was fine, but if she invited the Nascent Soul cultivators of this world to discuss the Nascent Soul's upgrade to the Divine Transformation stage, and then discovered that she didn't belong to this world, and then was discovered by the Heavenly Dao of this world, then a bolt of lightning would wipe out her as an alien.

Then she really died unjustly.
