The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Five years of rent cost 1.2 million spirit stones.

However, Xiao Han didn't feel bad. She earned spirit stones for cultivation. Unless she didn't want to improve her cultivation and didn't want to form a pill.

As long as you want to improve your cultivation, this amount of spirit stones is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you have completed your cultivation and established your foundation, you don’t know how many spirit stones you will have to invest.

The rental fee for one day is nearly seven hundred spirit stones. Delaying for one day means wasting seven hundred spirit stones.

The envy Xiao Han had felt when seeing others wearing beautiful clothes, and the desire to buy a few beautiful clothes to please herself, had long since disappeared.

She was planning to go into seclusion to practice for the next five years. Even if she bought some beautiful clothes, she wouldn't have time to wear them out to show off, so forget it. If she really wanted to buy some clothes, she would wait until she came out of seclusion.

Since it is a place for retreat, the furnishings inside are naturally extremely simple.

To put it simply, there is nothing except a futon.

The area of the entire cave is only about ten square meters.

Xiao Han thought that he would not have time to prepare food for Badou in the future, so he simply sold the remaining silver-hoofed deer and then went to the butcher shop to order fresh monster meat for Badou.

She asked the butcher to send her third-level monster meat worth two thousand spirit stones on the first day of every month.

In fact, the spiritual energy of monster meat will be lost to some extent during the cooking process. However, no cultivator would eat raw meat, so the spiritual energy will be lost.

But the croton is a demon bird and it can eat raw meat.

As a demon bird with no natural magical powers and a weak fighting ability, Badou had never been able to eat the meat of second- and third-tier demon beasts. Its usual diet consisted of ordinary or slightly spiritual insects, wild fruits, grass seeds, and the like.

Occasionally catching a first-level mountain rat is a treat.

This is also the biggest reason why, after tasting the spiritual rice, the third-level monster meat, and drinking the spiritual wine, Badou would rather be a spiritual pet and stay with Xiao Han.

Therefore, Xiao Han decided to have the butcher shop deliver the food to his home on a monthly basis during his retreat, and send it to his cave for Ba Dou to eat.

Xiao Han believed she could still afford the annual expenditure of over 20,000 spirit stones. Croton, on the other hand, was one of her spending items that had nothing to do with cultivation and was purely for her own enjoyment.

After doing all this, Xiao Han began to practice hard behind closed doors.

Of course, Croton also practiced hard together.

The main reason was that Xiao Han had locked it up in this cave, forcing it to practice hard so it could eat meat. He also told it that he would help it get spiritual herbs to help it break through at the critical moment.

Monster beasts also possess elixirs that can help them break through barriers to cultivation. For example, the red stone earth core fruit Xiao Han snatched from the Swift Wind Rabbit in the Yanling Mountains was a natural treasure belonging to monster beasts.

It’s a pity that she didn’t think about the day when she would have a spiritual pet, so she sold the red stone earth core fruit.

However, after Croton has cultivated to the peak of the third level, she can go out and look for some elixirs suitable for it.

After a year and a half of seclusion, which was also a year after Xiao Han came to Canghai City, with the rich spiritual energy and the continuous feeding of third-level monster meat, Badou finally cultivated to the peak of the third level.

Even with the support of the micro spirit gathering array, Xiao Han's hard training for a year and a half only made his spiritual power in the initial stage of foundation building slightly stronger, and it was still far from the peak of the initial stage.

Xiao Han, who has been practicing hard in seclusion, also wants to go out for a walk, move around, and feel the blue sky and white clouds.

So he took Ba Dou and strolled to the main street where the City Lord's Mansion was located.

When she saw two young foundation-building monks flying stealthily close to the ground, she couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that the trend of low-flying flying that he started in Crescent City has spread to Canghai City.

But she just went out for a stroll today, so she walked obediently.

She had been in seclusion since arriving in Canghai City and renting her cave, and hadn't even walked around her cave. Now, in order to buy elixirs, she could only come to the main street of the City Lord's Mansion, which she was a little more familiar with.

After finding a medicine shop that looked decent in size, Xiao Han went in to inquire if there were any medicines that could help spirit beasts advance.

The shop owner shook his head, saying they only sold elixirs made by humans.

Xiao Han had no choice but to find the next medicine shop to ask.

But after running all over the main streets, there were no elixirs for upgrading spirit beasts.

However, a customer who was buying elixirs provided her with a place to ask at the spirit beast shop that sold monster cubs.

Xiao Han had no choice but to ask for directions along the way and ended up on a main street in the west.

There was a shop on that street that specialized in selling monster cubs. Xiao Han and Ba Dou walked in and saw many monster cubs locked in cages.

Two young female cultivators were standing in front of a cage containing a fire fox cub, watching. Croton flew over and called out to one of the two female cultivators, "White Lotus, White Lotus..."

Xiao Han was startled and took a closer look, only to find that the female cultivator was wearing a pink and white gauze dress very similar to Lin Wanqing's.

She scolded: "Croton, shut up and come back."

The two female cultivators then set their sights on the Croton. The one in pink and white clothes exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this bird is really good at talking. It's really interesting."

Another nun in lake blue said, "Mynah birds can definitely talk. Why don't we buy one too?"

At this time, the owner of the Spirit Beast Shop came over and greeted Xiao Han, "Does this customer want to buy a Spirit Beast?"

Xiao Han shook his head. "I want to ask if you have any elixirs for monster advancement?"

Because she saw that this store also sold special monster food.

The shop owner said, "I don't have any here, but I heard that Master Lu has made elixirs specifically for spirit beasts. Why don't you go there and ask?"

"Who is Master Lu?" Xiao Han asked.

The shop owner was just wondering why Xiao Han didn't even know who Master Lu was when he heard the girl in lake blue clothes inside the shop say with a smile, "Master Lu is my great-uncle. If you want to go, I can take you there."

Xiao Han immediately asked, "Do you know if your uncle has any elixirs that can help spirit beasts break through?"

The girl shook her head. "I don't know about that."

Xiao Han: "Then I'll have to trouble you to take me there and ask."

The girl in pink and white tugged at her companion's sleeve and pointed at the fire fox cub in the cage.

The girl in lake blue clothes then asked the shop owner, "How much spirit stones is this fire fox cub?"

The shop owner offered a price: "Three thousand spirit stones."

"What? So expensive?" The girl in pink and white clothes screamed.

"Oh, it's not expensive, this Firefox..."

The shop owner was about to ramble on about the Fire Fox's merits when the girl in aquamarine clothes interrupted him, "Three thousand spirit stones aren't expensive, but we didn't bring that many today. Let's come back another day to buy some."

After saying that, he pulled the girl in pink and white clothes out of the store.

He also did not forget to greet Xiao Han: "Senior, let's go, I will take you to see my uncle."

The shop owner sighed twice and wanted to ask them how many spirit stones they had. If the difference was not too great, he would sell it to them.

The girl in lake blue clothes didn't give him any chance and just walked out.
