The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han couldn't help but frown when he received the sound transmission note.

In fact, she could have dug a cave in the mountains and spent a year or two there without any problem. However, the concentration of spiritual energy in the mountains was very average, and the progress of her cultivation was too slow, which she could not tolerate.

Instead of entering Xingyao City, I flew directly to the next fairy city. I didn’t have a familiar route, and I was a little worried about encountering monsters above level seven.

After thinking it over, Xiao Han decided to stay outside the city for a few days first.

She felt that the people guarding the city gate, whether they were sent by Lou Luan or the Lin family, would not stay here for long. After all, the one who could stop her must be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It would be fine for the Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard the city gate for a day or two, but over time, no one would go to great lengths to fight for Lin Wanqing, a female cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

Having made the decision, Xiao Han randomly found a nearby mountain and wandered around inside.

There was no possibility of any demonic beasts above level seven existing within a hundred miles of the Immortal City, so she could wander around without worry.

If you come across spiritual herbs, you can collect some. If you come across a third-level monster, you can kill it and sell it for money. If you come across a beautiful scenery, you can stop and admire it. If you come across a stream, you can catch some spiritual fish.

With a spiritual pet named Badou by his side who can talk and make fun of him, Xiao Han actually had the pleasure of traveling and sightseeing these days.

The monks who were waiting at the gate of Xingyao City only stayed there for two days before withdrawing.

These people were actually registered disciples of Yaotai Peak, and were called by the furious Lou Luan to help intercept Xiao Han.

However, these people are foundation-building cultivators after all. They came to help stake out Lou Lu for two days because he is the direct disciple of the peak master. They would not be happy if he continued to stake out.

In addition, Lou Luan also knew that the probability of waiting for something to happen was too low. Xiao Han could hide anywhere for a year or two, and he might not come to Xingyao City.

So after calming down, all the people were withdrawn.

Xiao Han had been traveling in the mountains for four or five days, collecting a large number of low-level spiritual herbs and slaughtering two third-level monsters, the Swift Rabbit and the Colorful Feather Chicken.

After all, this place was too close to Xingyao City, and third-level monsters were extremely rare. If it weren't for the help of the traitor among the monsters, Myna, she would have had a hard time finding these two third-level monsters.

It was about time, so they headed towards Xingyao City again.

She changed herself into a cheap set of old clothes, styled her hair to cover most of her forehead, and then slowly approached the city gate, her mind fully open, constantly scanning the direction of the city gate.

However, until she was a hundred feet away from the city gate, she did not see any suspicious people.

Xiao Han, who was ready to escape at any time, did not dare to relax even after paying the entrance fee and entering the city.

She lowered her head, but her consciousness did not dare to relax for a moment.

Xiao Han felt a little relieved until he entered the teleportation hall of Xingyao City and still didn't find any suspicious people.

Then, she teleported directly to Wangchuan City, and then from Wangchuan City to Canghai City.

And Canghai City is the purpose of her trip.

After two consecutive long-distance transmissions, she did not feel too uncomfortable.

It can be seen that the so-called dizziness was also due to her previous low level of cultivation.

Canghai City is a large immortal city under the jurisdiction of Huading Sect, the second largest sect in the immortal mountain. With the support of the second largest sect, Canghai City is naturally extremely prosperous.

As soon as he walked out of the teleportation hall and felt the cold wind blowing in his face, Xiao Han felt that he was already far away from Crescent City.

After all, the temperature difference in Crescent City throughout the year is not very big, so she can't even feel the low temperature in winter.

Walking on the street, the spiritual power in the body circulated naturally, resisting the biting cold wind in October.

Naturally, Canghai City would not be like Xinyue City where most of the houses were one-story stone houses.

The houses here are of various styles, including palace-style buildings covered with glazed tiles, tall and ancient stone palace buildings, all-wooden houses, and buildings similar to courtyard houses with one or two entrances.

Although monks have spiritual energy to protect them and can resist extreme cold and heat, if they wear clothes that can keep them warm, they don’t have to circulate spiritual power from time to time and consume their own spiritual energy.

For this reason, many low-ranking male cultivators wore vests made of monster fur. Female cultivators, on the other hand, wore cloaks trimmed with monster fur like fox fur or mink fur, which was both beautiful and warm.

Xiao Han immediately felt envious, thinking that no matter what he did, he always put pragmatism first and had rarely done anything to please himself. Suddenly, he wanted to indulge himself and buy two beautiful cloaks.

Of course, you can’t spend your previous savings, but you can use the gains you make along the way.

So she found a shop that bought monsters and sold all the monster wolves and third-level monsters she had hunted on the way to Xingyao City.

What made her happy was that the overall price paid by Canghai City for purchasing monsters was 10% higher than that of Xinyue City.

Although these third-level monsters generally cannot be sold for much money, it is always a happy thing if the price can be higher.

A fourth-tier wolf king, eight third-tier demon wolves, and two third-tier Swift Rabbits and Colorful Feather Chickens sold for a total of over 113,000 spirit stones. The lower-tier medicinal herbs also sold for over 5,000 spirit stones.

By this calculation, she earned nearly 120,000 spirit stones on her escape.

With so many spirit stones earned, I can buy some beautiful clothes to please myself.

Of course, if she wanted to buy clothes, it wasn't the right time. She still had to get her identity card and rent a house before going shopping.

He stopped a passerby, asked about the location of the City Lord's Mansion, and then spent fifty spirit stones to apply for an identity token.

The next step is to rent a house.

Xiao Han was a little puzzled when he saw that the monk who handled the identity token and the monk who rented the house were not wearing the same clothes.

Later, she learned that the City Lord's Mansion in Canghai City was not controlled by the Huading Sect, but by the Lu family, a family of immortal cultivators. The Lu family paid tribute to the Huading Sect every year in exchange for its protection.

The rental manager introduced to Xiao Han the prices of the various cave dwellings in Canghai City.

Generally speaking, as a rule of thumb, the richer the spiritual energy in a place, the more expensive the rental price.

But there is one thing that is different in Canghai City. The spiritual energy in the caves in some areas is not very strong, but the houses are spacious and beautiful, or the houses with large courtyards are also very expensive to rent.

Xiao Han's original plan was to stay in seclusion for ten or eight years in a low-key manner to improve his cultivation, so he naturally would not choose a spacious and luxurious house.

She directly stated her requirements: the house could be small, but the spiritual energy must be rich.

So, with the introduction of the rental manager, she finally chose a "real cave" in the cave where casual cultivators used to retreat and break through their realm.

The rent is 20,000 spirit stones per month, and no deposit is required.

After seeing the place in person and feeling the rich spiritual energy inside, Xiao Han rented it for five years in one go.
