The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Lin Wanqing's words naturally made the head of the Lin family believe it without a doubt.

After all, if Su Zihou didn't have someone in his heart, how could he look down on such a gentle and beautiful woman like Lin Wanqing.

The head of the Lin family naturally told the head of the Su family this information immediately, and swept away his previous sense of guilt, accusing the Su family of being the one who was clearly in the wrong but turning the tables.

After being scolded, the head of the Su family, who didn't know the truth of the matter, called Su Zihou's parents over and scolded them.

Su's mother was both angry and anxious, and immediately used a communication tool to contact Su Zihou.

As soon as they spoke, Su's mother angrily shouted, "Su Zihou, I'm asking you, who is Xiao Han?"

Su Zihou was a little puzzled. "Xiao Han? Xiao Han is my friend. Do you know her?"

Mother Su chuckled coldly, "I know her? Why should I know her? Su Zihou, you've really grown up! You've even learned to deceive your parents and your family. I'm telling you, either you don't look for a Taoist partner and focus all your energy on improving your cultivation. Or you just honestly accept the family's marriage arrangement."

Su Zihou was completely bewildered by his mother's outburst. "What did I deceive you about? Didn't I make it very clear that I don't want to find a Taoist partner?"

Mother Su snorted, "Then you'd better remember what you said."

After saying that, the communication was cut off.

Even his son didn't dare to acknowledge Xiao Han's identity in front of him, so there was no way this female cultivator could enter his house.

Su Zihou saw the light of the communication magic weapon dimming and was confused about what was going on.

People sit at home, the pot comes from heaven!

At this time, Xiao Han never dreamed that he would become the culprit for the failure of the marriage between the Su and Lin families.

After two days of seclusion at home, Xiao Han decided to go for a walk on the street to learn about the current situation in the Monster Forest and to check the prices of the materials for the flying boat magic weapon that Senior Brother Li needed.

As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Lin Wanqing coming back from outside. Seeing her, she immediately asked, "Where are you going, sister?"

Before Xiao Han could answer, Ba Dou, who was following her, suddenly called out to Lin Wanqing: "White Lotus, White Lotus..."

Xiao Han: ...

Lin Wanqing was pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh, this bird can talk. But you called it the wrong name. My name is not Bai Lianhua."

Xiao Han was embarrassed and grabbed the croton and pinched its beak.

"Well, uh, I'm going to the street. See you later, Miss Lin."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Wanqing to speak again, he directly summoned his flying sword, activated the ground-low flying mode, and ran away.

After they were away from Lin Wanqing and on the street, Xiao Han finally let go of Croton's beak and tapped its head in amusement, saying, "I'm teaching you to talk seriously, but all you can do is call me master. If I hadn't taught you, you'd learn it after just one listen."

Fortunately, Lin Wanqing didn’t understand the true meaning of white lotus, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.

Of course, Xiao Han didn't know that Lin Wanqing had framed her for a crime she didn't even know existed, and that she had become a scheming woman in Su's mother's eyes. Otherwise, she would have cursed Lin Wanqing in front of her, calling her a black lotus.

Xiao Han first went to the lobby of the teahouse and sat for a while, listening to the tea drinkers chatting in the lobby.

There are no newspapers or anything like that in the world of cultivating immortals. If you want to know the hot news, you can only go to leisure places like teahouses to inquire.

Xiao Han ordered a pot of spiritual tea and two plates of snacks for himself.

There are two plates of snacks, one plate is pastries and the other plate is melon seeds.

She chose a place in a corner. As she was at the foundation-building stage, and the hall was full of Qi-cultivating cultivators, naturally no one dared to sit next to her.

This gave Xiao Han some peace and quiet.

She took out a jade bowl and gave half of the cakes and melon seeds to Badou.

Badou took a bite of the cake, and his little eyes immediately lit up, and then he just kept talking without even raising his head.

Soon, all the cakes given to it went into its stomach.

Then, it saw Xiao Han cracking melon seeds, so it also learned to bite open the shells and peck at the seeds inside.

However, after eating a few seeds, I found it troublesome and started swallowing the whole seeds with the shell and kernel.

Xiao Han saw this and realized that this wasn't going to work. At the rate it was eating, it would have finished the entire half plate of melon seeds in less than a quarter of an hour.

She patted the bird's head, signaling it to follow her and peel the shells one by one.

Croton didn't dare to disobey and could only do as he was told. But it was a demon bird, and if it wanted to eat the melon seeds quickly, it could use its demonic power to deal with it.

So it quickly started peeling the shell and eating the kernels. Xiao Han was too lazy to correct its little flaws. After all, she wouldn't share the food.

Xiao Han drank spiritual tea while listening to the monks chatting in the hall, extracting useful information from them.

You know what, after a long time, I did hear some useful information.

For example, the outskirts of the Monster Forest were swarming with many Level 3 and higher monsters, so numerous and dense that Qi-training cultivators couldn't get in to hunt. Then, I heard the City Lord's Mansion was planning to send a team of Foundation Establishment cultivators to go in and conduct a thorough hunting expedition around the area.

Another piece of information is that an auction held by Sihai Trading Company, mainly targeting foundation-building cultivators, will be held in a month.

Xiao Han felt that while she would be tempted to buy a lot of things at the auction, it would also broaden her horizons and allow her to discover many great treasures. Therefore, she decided to attend this auction.

After staying in the teahouse for more than half an hour, Xiao Han felt that there was no useful information, so he got up and left the teahouse.

Then, she went to the weapon refining shops and the Treasure Hunting Pavilion to inquire about the materials for refining the flying boat.

It turned out that the Treasure Hunting Pavilion only sold finished products, not the materials for refining equipment. And the equipment refining shop also did not have the materials needed to refine a flying boat.

Only then did Xiao Han realize that he had thought things were too simple.

This kind of thing is expensive, which must be due to the scarcity of raw materials. So, if I want to help Senior Brother Li gather the materials, I will probably have to go to auctions more often in the future.

Going to the auction would cost money, and she had to work hard to save up. It seemed that she couldn't miss the Monster Forest's clearing of monsters above level three.

When Xiao Han passed by the teahouse on her way home, she simply took out a communication talisman and handed it to the waiter, asking him to notify her as soon as there was any information about recruiting foundation-building cultivators to form a hunting team.

What's more, just two days later, she received a sound transmission note from the waiter at the teahouse.

So Xiao Han hurried to the City Lord's Mansion.

Sure enough, the City Lord's Mansion had posted a recruitment notice, informing the independent foundation-building cultivators in Xinyue City that they could sign up to participate in the encirclement and suppression activities led by the disciples of the Juxian Sect.

Xiao Han signed up without hesitation, and was then informed that he could go home after registration and gather in front of the City Lord's Mansion the next morning.

The next day, Xiao Han rushed to the City Lord's Mansion in high spirits. However, when she saw that the Juxian Sect cultivator leading her assigned team was Lou Luan, her heart sank.
