The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Croton had successfully advanced and was in a very good mood. He wanted to show off, so of course he wouldn't object to going for a walk on the street.

Now it is not afraid at all when flying in human residential areas where there are people coming and going around.

Everything is a process of familiarity and habit, and this is also the case with croton.

However, it did not get carried away and continued to fly within a ten-foot range around Xiao Han.

It is common for wealthy cultivators in the fairy mountains to raise a spiritual pet of their favorite.

For example, if the grandparents, parents, and other elders of a large family have high cultivation or hold real power, then they, the younger generation, will naturally have no shortage of spirit stones and flowers. It's also normal for them to raise a favorite demon beast as a spirit pet.

Xiao Han is a foundation-building cultivator, and he has a mynah bird as his spirit pet. In fact, he is not that impressive.

After all, this thing is small and weak in combat, and the only interesting thing is that it can imitate human speech.

If there is a large beast or a strange monster around, it may attract the attention of passers-by.

Xiao Han had no intention of keeping her pet in the spot. With half an hour left before her scheduled meeting time with Lu Xinyu, she took Croton and strolled around the streets. Whenever she came across a shop that interested her, she would go in and browse.

Then, when passing by a weapon refining shop, Xiao Han suddenly remembered that Croton didn't have a bird's nest, so he decided to make a bunk bed for Croton with a horizontal bar on top to rest his feet and a bird's nest underneath.

Croton's bird's nest didn't require any good materials, so Xiao Han went to the equipment refining shop and bought some of the cheapest iron ore, planning to forge a bunk bed for Croton when he returned.

Anyway, these cheapest iron ores are easy to refine and forge. She doesn't need a lot, and they don't need to be fine. She can directly use the spiritual fire of fireball magic to calcine them, and there is no need to go to a special underground fire room.

Time passed quickly while they were shopping. When there was still a quarter of an hour before the meeting time, Lu Xinyu sent a note to Xiao Han.

"Sister Han, I'm ready to go to the teahouse, but my father will come with me to see you. Thank you for saving us yesterday."

Xiao Han didn't expect that the Lu family was so cautious, and his good impression of the Lu family increased sharply.

Although she felt that as the elite children of the Lu family, even if she did not go, these people would definitely have other ways to save their lives, but she did a good thing after all, and others were willing to do this favor, which was good.

Xiao Han was not in a hurry and walked over slowly with Ba Dou.

When we arrived at the teahouse, it was almost the agreed time.

Lu Xinyu was looking out the window of the private room on the second floor. Seeing Xiao Han coming over, she immediately waved, "Sister Han, I'm here."

Xiao Han smiled at her and walked into the teahouse.

The waiter at the teahouse, who was discerning, immediately took her to the private room on the second floor that Lu Xinyu had booked.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Han saw a middle-aged man with a short beard standing next to Lu Xinyu.

This person is at the middle stage of foundation building, and should be Lu Xinyu's father.

Lu Songyuan had naturally heard his daughter mention Xiao Han's name a long time ago, and he immediately bowed to Xiao Han as an equal, "My name is Lu Songyuan, and I'm honored to meet Fellow Daoist Xiao. The Lu family is extremely grateful to Fellow Daoist Xiao for saving the lives of several younger generations of the Lu family."

Xiao Han also returned the greeting, "You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. It was just a matter of convenience. I believe that even without my intervention, the younger Daoists of the Lu family would have found a way to escape. To say that I saved your life is too much of a favor."

Her words immediately made Lu Songyuan extremely satisfied. This was indeed the case. If the younger generations of the Lu family were truly unable to defend themselves, they would definitely use their last life-saving trump card and would never lose their lives to the attack of a fourth-level demon pig.

But it was also true that someone else had come to their rescue, and the Lu family had to acknowledge this favor. But the other party didn't take credit for it, and spoke in a nice way, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk."

Lu Songyuan made a gesture to invite him in, and Lu Xinyu hurriedly pulled out a chair and asked Xiao Han to sit down.

Badou sensed Lu Songyuan's spiritual pressure, which was comparable to that of a fifth-level monster, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell obediently at Xiao Han's feet without saying a word.

After Xiao Han sat down, it hurriedly flew to the empty chair next to Xiao Han, stretching its neck to look around.

Lu Xinyu poured a cup of spiritual tea for her father and Xiao Han.

Lu Songyuan was not interested in a starling. He picked up his teacup and said to Xiao Han, "I would like to offer a cup of tea to you, Daoist Fellow Xiao."

Xiao Han hurriedly picked up the tea bowl, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries again.

Then, Lu Songyuan pushed a peculiarly shaped jade token in front of Xiao Han. "This is the Lu family's token. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, bring this jade token to our house. As long as the Lu family can solve it, we will definitely help you solve it."

If it was any other thank-you gift, Xiao Han might have been polite, but the thank-you gift the other party offered was really hard for her to refuse.

Although she was not planning to stay in Canghai City for a long time, if there was any trouble that she could not solve by herself, this would be a good supporter.

It can be said that at the critical moment, the Lu family might be able to save her life.

She immediately laughed and said, "Originally, I shouldn't have taken credit for accepting this thank-you gift, but I'm a casual cultivator living in Canghai City. I'm really worried that I'll need to ask the Lu family for help in the future, so I shamelessly accepted it."

Lu Songyuan said, "This is the Lu family's sincerity. Fellow Daoist Xiao, just accept it with peace of mind."

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Lu Songyuan said goodbye and left.

The Lu family has demonstrated the demeanor of a noble family by personally sending a direct descendant to deliver a thank-you gift, which is already an impeccable act.

As soon as her father left, Lu Xinyu, who had been sitting quietly, immediately became lively.

"Originally, my cousins wanted to come over to thank you again, Sister Han, but I persuaded them to stop. If they hadn't left, I wouldn't have been able to have a good chat with you."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "They already thanked us many times yesterday. There's really no need to come again."

Lu Xinyu hurriedly pushed over a plate of dried fruits.

"Sister Han, come here and have some. The pine nuts from the ice needle pine are delicious."

When Croton heard that there was something delicious to eat, and the monk it was afraid of had left, it immediately flew to the back of the chair to look around.

Lu Xinyu noticed the change in Badou's cultivation and asked in surprise, "Sister Han, did Badou succeed in advancing?"

If it were any other fourth-level demon bird, it would definitely give a Qi-cultivating cultivator a very strong sense of oppression. However, Badou was a weakling in combat. Not only did he not have any magic skills, but his spiritual pressure was not strong either. He couldn't even scare people or other demon beasts.

Lu Xinyu simply asked this question because he sensed that Badou's cultivation level was difficult to see through and was different from the previous third-level cultivation level.

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Yes, I just got promoted to the fourth level."

Croton didn't care whether they were talking about it or not. At this moment, all it had in its eyes was the delicious pine nuts recommended by Lu Xinyu.

"Master, croton eats pine nuts. Croton eats pine nuts."

Croton flapped its wings at Xiao Han.

Xiao Han thought that this guy hadn't shown any courtesy to him for a long time, so he stretched his feet in front of Badou.

Badou was confused for a moment, then he understood. He immediately flew to her feet and began to stroke her feet with his wings.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Emma, Croton is so cute, it makes me laugh to death."
