The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

He hurriedly put away the small protective warning magic circle and said to Ye Guchen who wanted to leave: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please stay here. My defensive magic circle cannot be broken by monsters below the seventh level. It is relatively safe. You can rest in peace inside."

Ye Gu Chen thought about it and did not go out. Instead, he handed his own set of formation plates to Lu Xinyu.

"Use this and place it beside you. It has no light after it is activated."

He was now certain that even without the protection of a magic circle, this girl would not attack him in the middle of the night.

Lu Xinyu was about to refuse, but then she changed her mind and realized that she had no intention of killing or stealing treasures, so the other party would be safe even if he stayed inside the formation without any warning formation.

On the contrary, as a girl, being alone with a strange man in the wilderness at night, if I trusted him too much, he would think that I had some ulterior motive.

So she readily took it and arranged it according to the other party's instructions.

After the formation was activated, the light lit up and then went out.

Ye Gu Chen sat cross-legged on the edge of the leather cushion, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

Darkness enveloped the area, and the mountain wind blew, causing the weeds and branches to sway in the wind, making a rustling sound.

In this unfamiliar mountainous area, Lu Xinyu didn't feel much fear. The tall, burly male cultivator beside her, with whom she had only been together for a day, made her feel inexplicably safe.

With the protection of the double formation, Lu Xinyu adjusted his breathing for a while and fell asleep leaning against the rock.

Ye Guchen slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Lu Xinyu who was leaning against the rock and snoring softly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This girl is really carefree. Even though she is protected by a formation, she can still sleep soundly when she is so close to a strange man.

He touched his cheek. Did he look harmless?

But with his tall and strong body, he should give people a sense of oppression.

Oh, I really hope this girl can be more careful in the future and not be so careless.

Ye Gu Chen shook his head and then closed his eyes.

The next morning, before dawn, Lu Xinyu opened her eyes and was surprised to find that she was sleeping on a leather mat.

I gradually recalled that I seemed to feel uncomfortable sleeping against the rock wall, so I lay down on the leather mat.

Then, in order to find a more comfortable posture, the body adjusted little by little, and the whole person fell asleep on the leather mattress.

Lu Xinyu crawled in quickly and felt a little embarrassed when she saw Ye Guchen standing at the edge of the formation with his back to her, looking into the distance.

Oh, my sleep is too good. I can sleep soundly even when camping in the mountains where monsters roam.

Hearing the noise, Ye Guchen turned around and said hello with a bit of amusement, "You're awake."

Lu Xinyu hummed awkwardly and put away the formation plate and leather cushion.

He handed the small formation plate to Ye Guchen and asked, "Should we put away the defensive formation outside?"

Ye Guchen looked at the watch on his wrist, then at the sky, "Put it away, it's almost dawn, let's hurry up and get on our way."

By the time Lu Xinyu had put away the defensive formation outside, a ray of light had already appeared on the horizon.

She took out the flying boat and activated it. The two of them jumped on the flying boat and headed towards Crescent City again.

Although the speed of the flying boat was not very fast, the second-level demon bird sensed the cultivation level of the two people on it and did not dare to attack.

Level three demon birds basically don't appear in groups. If you are unlucky enough to encounter a level four or above demon bird, then it all depends on how lucky you are.

On the third day, they actually encountered a fourth-level demon bird.

Seeing a large black bird flying from a distance, and sensing that the bird's cultivation level far exceeded the third level, Ye Guchen's expression changed, and he said in a hurried voice: "Quick, quickly land."

In the air, their flying boat's speed looked like a leisurely stroll to a fourth-tier demon bird. Once they landed, there was still a chance of escape.

Lu Xinyu's expression also changed. The flying boat immediately landed straight down, and at the same time hurriedly shouted: "Quickly shoot the defensive talisman."

As soon as the two of them landed on the ground, the fourth-level demon bird was already above their heads.

Lu Xinyu took out a few talismans and stuffed them into Ye Gucheng's hand, "You stop it, I'll set up the formation."

Setting up the formation took quite a while. She could only give Ye Guchen a few talismans that were as powerful as a Foundation Establishment cultivator's attack, hoping he could block the demon bird's attack.

Ye Gucheng himself also had several talismans that were comparable to the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but the demon birds had control of the air, and their counterattacks were not very powerful at all.

Lu Xinyu trusted Ye Guchen, and after handing the talisman to her, she began to concentrate on setting up the formation.

Ye Gucheng decided to strike first, and he leaped towards the monster bird above his head with a Tiyun Leap, then quickly activated the talisman and threw it at the monster bird.

After doing all this, his body began to fall down involuntarily.

The demon bird was frightened by this human cultivator whose cultivation level was obviously lower than its own. It flapped its wings and flew forward rapidly.

The talisman exploded behind it, and the attack power failed to touch it at all.

The demon bird flew away a little, and suddenly realized that it shouldn't be afraid, so it twisted its body and flew back.

Seeing the demon bird flying towards him again, Ye Guchen did not dare to use the same trick again. Instead, he took out a Sky Thunder Ball and threw it high into the sky.

This Sky Thunder Bullet cannot harm the fourth-level demon bird at all, but it makes a loud noise when it explodes.

Sure enough, when the demon bird was about to attack the cultivators on the ground from a high position, it saw a black ball flying up. Just as it was about to fan it away, the ball exploded.

There was a rumbling sound, like a sudden thunderclap.

The demon bird was frightened again and flew away quickly.

When it flew over again, Lu Xinyu's defensive formation was finally set up.

The two stood inside the formation and activated it.

The demon bird flapped its wings, and a huge spiritual wind blade slashed towards the two humans below.

The defensive magic circle lit up, blocking all attacks.

When the demon bird saw that the light dimmed and the two cultivators below were still standing there, it became furious.

It launched attacks again and again, but the protective shield still stood there steadily.

In the end, the demon bird could only fly away helplessly.

Watching the demon bird fly away and never come back, both of them were very excited.

Lu Xinyu quickly put away the formation plate. The two did not dare to continue riding the flying boat, but instead ran on the ground on their two legs.

It was not until they had run more than ten miles that the two of them were able to control the flying boat and fly again.

After this scare, on the morning of the fifth day, he was targeted by a third-level demon bird again.

The third-level demon bird was nothing to be afraid of. Ye Guchen asked Lu Xinyu to just drive the flying boat, and he himself raised his sword and slashed it down.

With just one sword strike, the third-level demon bird no longer dared to chase him.

After traveling early and late like this, on the morning of the sixth day, the two finally saw the towering city walls of Crescent City.

Lu Xinyu happily took out the communication talisman and sent a message to Xiao Han, "Sister Han, I'm in Xinyue City. Where are you?"

Suddenly, she remembered the agreement they had made on the road that they could team up to hunt and earn spirit stones after arriving in Crescent City. She took out a stack of communication talismans with the mark of spiritual energy and handed them to Ye Guchen.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, after we settle down, let's go hunting together in the Monster Forest." She had heard from Xiao Han that there were many monsters in the Monster Forest.

"Okay." Ye Gucheng agreed with a smile.
