The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han thought about it, adjusted his sitting position, and stretched his other foot in front of the starling.

Then, she saw that the creature really started to flap its wings on the sole of the foot again.

Then, he tilted his little head and looked at himself secretly with his round little eyes.

Oh my god! This bird is really trying to please me!

Xiao Han couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This little thing is simply a spirit. No, demon beasts are animals that have acquired a certain level of intelligence after cultivation, and they originally belong to the category of demons.

"Hey, if you follow me in the future, you have to start learning to speak human language. If you can't, I will still pluck your feathers and stew them into soup." Xiao Han deliberately frowned and said fiercely to the starling.

Anyway, this guy is not worth much money if he is sold, so it is better to keep him around to entertain you and use him as a pet to relieve your boredom.

The starling obviously understood and immediately folded its wings and took a few steps back.

Seeing such a human-like pet, Xiao Han wanted to laugh again.

It seems that I need to give it a name and teach it to speak properly.

"Mynah bird, I definitely can't call it mynah, otherwise it would seem like my brother. Uh, what should I call it?"

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Xiao Han, who was not good at naming, decided to name it Croton.

Croton, what a lovely name.

Xiao Han immediately said to the starling, "Remember, from now on you will be called Badou. As long as you are honest and obedient, not only will I not kill you, I will also let you practice and continue to improve your cultivation."

The starling immediately flapped its wings and cackled a few times, nodding its little head.

"Baodou, come here." Xiao Han pointed at the stone table and asked it to come up.

The mynah bird immediately flew onto the stone table and stood obediently in front of Xiao Han.

"Master, master, call me master." Xiao Han began to train it to speak.

"Master, master, call master." The starling followed indistinctly.

Xiao Han slapped its head and scolded it with a smile, "I said you were stupid, but you managed to imitate it somewhat. I said you were smart, but you don't know how to adapt."

The starling glared at Xiao Han aggrievedly.

It has lived in the Monster Forest for decades, and often eavesdrops on the conversations of cultivators who go there to hunt. Unconsciously, it has understood most of what the cultivators say.

It's just that it has never learned to speak human language.

Xiao Han pointed at himself and began to say, "The master is me, I am the master, you must call me master from now on. If you don't learn well, I will beat you to death."

After scaring it for a while, Xiao Han patiently taught it several times and finally taught it to call master.

After playing for a while, she suddenly remembered that this guy was so obedient now, but it was just succumbing to her power. If she took it out in the future, she was afraid that it would slip away at the first opportunity.

I have to think of a way to make it stay by my side obediently in the future.

I don’t know if there is a master-pet contract in the world of immortal cultivation in this time and space.

Xiao Han grabbed the croton and stuffed it back into the spirit beast bag.

Then, she took out her communication magic weapon and started contacting Su Zihou.

"Friend Su, did I disturb you?"

"No, Junior Sister Xiao, is there something wrong?"

"Um, I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"I'd like to ask, do master-pet contracts exist in the world of immortal cultivation? Are they the kind of contracts where you sign a contract with a demon beast, turning it into a cultivator's spiritual pet, obeying their orders without resistance?"

Su Zihou's laughter rang out from within the magic disc. "Junior Sister Xiao, you're really audacious! What kind of contract could make a demon beast obey you? Besides, demon beasts don't have high IQs, so they wouldn't understand how to sign a contract."

Su Zihou had no idea what the master-pet contract was. Xiao Han immediately realized that there were no mantras or spells like the master-pet contract in this world.

She then changed the question, "Then, how do those monks who raise spiritual pets control them?"

She had personally ridden on the pet Peng bird.

Su Zihou said, "Most of the time, when raising spirit pets, we start cultivating feelings with the monsters from a very young age. Then, when they reach a higher level of cultivation, we usually add the control of the beast control ring to make them obedient."

Xiao Han understood that these spirit pets all used emotions and control methods together.

It was definitely too late for me to start a relationship with this mynah bird. If I really did, I might even be deceived by it.

The only way is to use the beast-controlling ring.

Xiao Han immediately went out and went to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.

When I got to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion and asked, I found out that they really had beast-taming rings for sale.

Beast Taming Rings also come in different levels. Simply put, the higher the level of the spirit beast, the better the Beast Taming Ring it requires, and the more expensive it will be.

Xiao Han finally spent 20,000 yuan to buy a very exquisite beast-taming ring.

After this small ring is put on the bird's neck, if the starling wants to destroy it, Xiao Han will be able to sense it as long as it exerts force.

The most important thing is that the quality of this small ring is comparable to that of a magic weapon. Not to mention that it is only at the third level now, even if it is at the fourth or fifth level, it would be difficult to break.

Unless it breaks its neck as well.

Looking at the ring worth 20,000 spirit stones in his hand, which was used to trap a pet, Xiao Han felt that he was really getting rich.

But she really couldn't bear to give up that bird that was not very sensible, was very servile, and brought her happiness.

Never mind, it’s all windfall anyway, I won’t feel bad about spending some.

After consoling himself in this way, Xiao Han pulled the starling out again, and with a flick of his hand, he put a collar around its neck.

As if sensing something, the starling began to struggle, fear in its little eyes.

Xiao Han threw it casually, and the starling immediately flew around the house, trying to pick off the circle with its claws.

However, these magical weapons specifically designed for monsters cannot be easily destroyed.

Xiao Han's spiritual consciousness moved, and the circle tightened. The starling immediately screamed and spun in circles on the spot with its neck raised.

Xiao Han then said slowly, "Badou, listen carefully. Don't even think about running away from now on. Otherwise, even if you run far away, I will find a way to make this circle strangle your neck directly."

But just as she finished speaking, a starling suddenly flew to her feet, hugged one of her feet with its wings, and cried loudly.

Of course, no tears flowed from its little eyes, but Xiao Han inexplicably felt that it was crying.

But you can cry if you want. If you hold my feet and cry, are you really crying or just acting coquettishly?

After kicking the mischievous starling away, Xiao Han warned again, "From now on, when I'm practicing, you can practice in this living room. But you are not allowed to enter my room or the practice room.

Xiao Han pointed to his bedroom to make it understand.

Recently, Xiao Han decided to retreat and practice again. Improving his cultivation was the top priority, and he couldn't waste too much time on his pet.

Of course, before going into seclusion, you should feed it some croton seeds first. After all, it is only at the third level, similar to a Qi-cultivating cultivator.

The food that was packed last time had not been finished yet, so Xiao Han took out a large bowl of spiritual rice and prepared to let it eat for a few days.

However, when she changed into loose and comfortable training clothes and was about to take a look at what Croton was doing, she found that a large bowl of spiritual rice had been pecked up by it.

Hey, doesn’t everyone say that birds have small appetites? Did she raise a big-bellied bird that eats a lot?

PS: On my homepage, there is a newly published short story "Purple Night Love", which is an old-fashioned romance novel written ten years ago. You can go and take a look at the old-fashioned writing routines of that time.

Once again, I'd like to state that this was written ten years ago, so please be gentle with your criticism after reading it! Haha~~~~~
