The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han didn't dare admit that he was wandering in a different time and space, so as to avoid complications.

But she couldn't refuse Xie Yi's order outright.

So he lied, "I bought this book when I first entered the world of immortal cultivation in a small immortal city on the outskirts of the immortal mountain. It's said that this wandering time and space is a very old cultivator who wrote it for fun out of boredom in his later years. Now that decades have passed, I guess he's probably long since worn out his lifespan."

After a pause, he quickly added, "I have read this book several times and have gained some insights. If you don't mind, I can discuss it with you."

Her original intention was that she understood the book's settings best, making her naturally qualified to analyze and explain them. She could also learn more about the insights of high-level cultivators from this world regarding later stages of cultivation. After all, to achieve a nascent state, a cultivator must have a certain understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and the Great Dao.

It's a pity that after she finished speaking, she was met with Xie Yi's contemptuous look.

"When you reach the late stage of Golden Core cultivation, come and discuss this with me."

Xiao Han was choked and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that senior will not be able to wait for this day."

She originally wanted to belittle herself, saying that she had poor aptitude and it was impossible for her to form a pill, but she didn't express herself clearly, which immediately angered Xie Yi.

"Are you mocking me for being a useless person?"

After he finished speaking, his whole body was filled with vigor.

Xiao Han waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, senior, you misunderstood."

"I mean......"

Before she could finish, Xie Yi suddenly lost his momentum and interrupted her, saying, "How about this, you do me one more thing. Once you do it, my favor of teaching you the Earth-level technique will be written off."

When he first taught the technique, it was just a prank out of boredom. He wanted to see if the female cultivator would be tempted by the technique and take the initiative to practice dual cultivation with him.

But it is undeniable that he gave the other party a ground-level martial arts technique.

"Senior, please tell me first. I'm not sure if I can do it." Xiao Han was a little nervous. She didn't want to owe the other party a favor, but she was also afraid that the other party's conditions were beyond her ability to fulfill.

Xie Yi: "Do you have a photo stone?"

Xiao Han shook his head, "No."

Not only did she not have it, but this was the first time she had heard of such a thing. It seemed that Xinyue City indeed had a wider variety of items and richer resources than Zixiao City.

Xie Yi: "Go back and buy one first."

Although she didn't know what the other party wanted the photo stone for, nor did she know how expensive it was, it was one of the other party's conditions, so she naturally had to do it.

So, not long after Xiao Han arrived at the Yanling Mountains, he rushed back without stopping.

I hurried back to Crescent City and went straight to the first grocery store I saw after entering the city and walked in.

When the shop owner learned that she wanted a photo stone, he took out three stone-like magical instruments of different sizes. They looked like pebbles, but one side was very flat and smooth, and was engraved with rune lines.

"Sir, these are three types of image-recording stones. The smallest one can retain images for half an hour and costs two thousand spirit stones. The medium one can retain images for one hour and costs five thousand spirit stones. The largest one can retain images for two hours and costs twelve thousand spirit stones. Which one would you like?"

Xiao Han thought of the few spirit stones in his storage bag and decisively chose the smallest one.

If Xie Yi doesn't like it, the worst that can happen is he'll make another trip.

However, in order not to waste money, Xiao Han told the owner in advance that if the smallest photo stone was not enough, she would take it back and exchange it for a larger one.

The owner said that as long as the item has not been used, you can take it back and exchange it for a bigger one.

After buying some things, I hurried out of the city. However, judging by the weather, I wouldn't be able to make it back before the city gates closed.

He came to the deep crack of Yanling Mountains again and gave the photo stone to Xie Yi.

Xiao Han was still worried that the shortest-term photo-taking stone she had bought might not satisfy Xie Yi and require her to make another trip. Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't seem to mind and didn't say anything.

He turned the smooth side of the photo stone towards the bare rock wall and asked Xiao Han to stand further away and keep silent.

Then, he used his spiritual power to activate the photo stone.

A flash of light flashed on the smooth side of the photo stone, and then returned to its original state.

Then, Xie Yi's deep and magnetic voice rang out: "Ayao, you are so cruel. You have never come to see me again in these years. Have you really forgotten me? Have you forgotten your Xie Lang?

I admit that I did some things wrong in the past and hurt your feelings. Later, I shouldn't have argued with you and insulted you. Over the years, I have repeatedly thought back on every little thing between us. The punishment you gave me was all I deserved.

Ayao, I've figured it out. I don't hate you. I really don't hate you.

Ayao, I miss you!"

Xie Yi believed that after An Fengyao heard these words, even if she didn't believe that he had really given in, she would still come over to take a look.

He was originally still hesitating between refusing to surrender or giving in. However, after reading the storybook left by Xiao Han, he was immediately attracted by the experience and ending of the hero in the book.

The male protagonist also encountered setbacks and fell into a trough, but in the end he rose again and reached the highest point.

What kind of great figure is Xie Yi? He is just a flower thief in the eyes of hypocrites. So, why is he insisting on such ridiculous arrogance?

What does it matter if he surrenders to An Fengyao? Even if he becomes her male lover in the future, as long as he has the opportunity to practice again, he will have the hope of reaching the highest peak like the male protagonist in the story.

Xiao Han, who was standing not far away, naturally heard everything Xie Yi said.

At this moment, the fire of gossip was burning in her, but she also felt scared and panicked.

How could a small fry like her know or watch the emotional secrets of these great monks, even to the point where they were chained and trapped deep in cracks underground?

Xie Yi didn't care at all that I, an outsider, was present. Was he planning to kill me, a small fry who knew his privacy and had seen him at his most embarrassing side, with a slap afterwards?

Xiao Han was still thinking about this and that when he heard Xie Yi shout, "Come here and put this thing away."

She hurried over and picked up the photo stone.

Xie Yi said, "Hand this thing over to An Fengyao of the Juxian Sect. Don't tell her you got the technique I taught you. Everything else can be told truthfully. Once you complete this mission, you won't need to come here anymore."

Xiao Han asked, "Senior, could you please provide some more specific information about Senior An Fengyao? Uh, Senior An Fengyao's personal information. I'm afraid I've found the wrong person and delayed your important matter."

Xie Yi said, "She is a Jindan cultivator from the Juxian Sect. She was in the middle Jindan stage before, and I don't know if she has reached the late Jindan stage yet. As long as you find An Fengyao, a Jindan cultivator from the Juxian Sect, you will not make a mistake."

Xiao Han: It's over. With a small fry like her getting involved in the love-hate relationship between two great Jindan cultivators, won't she be cannon fodder?
