The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

There is an entrance fee to enter Fuyuan City.

For a cultivator, it is a spirit stone, while for a mortal, it is ten spirit beads.

Although Xiao Han had just successfully drawn Qi into her body, she was still considered a cultivator due to the pitiful amount of spiritual energy in her Dantian. Therefore, her entrance fee was reduced to one spirit stone.

As for Jiang Yaohua and her disciples, they are cultivators who have lived in Fuyuan City for a long time and have registered with the City Lord's Mansion, so they do not have to pay the city entrance fee.

Jiang Yaohua paid a spirit stone for Xiao Han's entrance fee and took her into Fuyuan City.

When Xiao Han saw the shops on both sides of the street and the wide and smooth bluestone roads, his first impression was that this city where monks lived seemed to be similar to Lingyun City, except that there were fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Just as she was looking around, Jiang Yaohua stopped and said to Jiang Wan, "Wan'er, take her to the City Lord's Mansion to register, and then take her to the mortal settlement to rent a house. I'll go to Master Zhao Dan to exchange items, and then I'll come find you."

Xiao Han still had a lot of items in her storage bag, and she could only take them out after Xiao Han rented a house.

After she finished her instructions, she flew straight into an alley.

When they took a break during the journey today, Jiang Yaohua had already told Xiao Han about the follow-up arrangements for her.

Xiao Han is penniless now, so it is unrealistic for him to rent a cave and live in an area with rich spiritual energy.

Even renting a house in a mortal settlement would cost Spirit Pearls. In order to help her gain a foothold in Fuyuan City, Jiang Yaohua also gave her two hundred Spirit Pearls.

Of course, anything more would be gone. Jiang Yaohua didn't want the cost of this transaction to continue to rise while the return was still unknown.

She felt that she had been very kind to Xiao Han.

Jiang Wan was still a child after all. She had been with Xiao Han for so many days, and Xiao Han always praised her. Therefore, with a hint of showing off, she enthusiastically explained to Xiao Han some of the rules of Fuyuan City and some basic information in the city.

Xiao Han listened attentively and would occasionally join in the fun.

"really?"

"You know so much."

"Oh I see."

The two chatted all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

No, it should be said that Jiang Wan was telling her some basic information about Fuyuan City all the way, and she didn't stop until they were close to the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Han looked at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him.

From a distance, you can see the palace-style building inside, but the gate is an arched archway supported by four stone pillars more than two meters high.

Whether it is the houses facing the street for external affairs and official business, or the palace-style houses inside, all the buildings are not of the style that would be magnificent if the owners were rich and powerful. Instead, they are mostly made of stone and the houses are tall, giving a sense of simplicity and grandeur.

Jiang Wan took her to the office that specializes in registering permanent residents, gave her personal information in detail, and then paid fifty spirit beads and received a Fuyuan City permanent resident identity token.

Because she was a cultivator, she was given a jade token made of the same material as the jade slip, while mortals were given a bronze token, and the registration fee was only ten spirit beads.

Xiao Han looked at the 150 spirit beads remaining in the leather bag and sighed secretly. She wondered if these spirit beads would be enough to last her until she found a job.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Wan poured her spiritual power into her legs, then pulled Xiao Han and ran wildly.

The distance that would normally take more than an hour to walk was reached in just 20 minutes, allowing Xiao Han to experience the feeling of running a marathon at high speed.

This time, she ran without the help of the light body talisman. If Xiao Han had not already drawn the Qi into her body and had the pitiful amount of spiritual energy in her body to support her, she would have been out of breath long ago.

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Han, who was lying limp on the ground and gasping for breath, with a smile of success on her face.

However, she didn't know the rejuvenation technique, so she couldn't help Xiao Han recover quickly. She could only squat down, pull Xiao Han's upper body up and sit on the ground, then helped her cross her legs and said, "Meditate to absorb the spiritual energy and regulate your breathing."

After a cultivator successfully draws Qi into their body, they can enter a state of cultivation anytime and anywhere. Of course, if they don't meditate in their own cave, they need to multitask and pay attention to their surroundings. However, the effect of this kind of cultivation is naturally much worse.

Xiao Han meditated to absorb and refine the spiritual energy. His originally rapid breathing gradually slowed down, and the fatigue in his body slowly dissipated.

When there was a trace of spiritual power in her body, she saw Jiang Wan who was already a little impatient, so she had to let this trace of spiritual power flow through her legs, giving herself the strength to stand and walk.

When Fuyuan City was first established and its site was chosen, it was naturally chosen to be a place with a good concentration of spiritual energy.

Although the entire Fuyuan City covers a large area, the concentration of spiritual energy in the city is divided into different levels, and the area where mortals live here is the place with the thinnest spiritual energy, it is still much stronger than the edge of the fairy mountain. Therefore, even if Xiao Han does not actively absorb and refine the spiritual energy now, the spiritual energy from the outside world will slowly enter her body, replenishing her consumed spiritual power bit by bit.

Although the process was slow, at least the spiritual energy entering her body could help her legs recover faster.

Seeing her struggling to walk, Jiang Wan, feeling guilty, didn't rush her. She simply said, "You need to rent a house quickly. My master doesn't have time to wait for you. If she comes over later and you don't have a house, she'll just throw all your messy things here."

Xiao Han naturally knew that what she said was not a lie to scare people. He gritted his teeth and dragged his legs, which had not yet recovered, to ask a passerby where he could rent a house.

The place where they are now is more like a village.

The village is a mix of rich and poor. The reason for this is that some houses in the village are neat and beautiful with red walls and black tiles, while others are shabby and simple thatched houses.

The person Xiao Han was asking about was a farmer carrying a hoe and returning home. If she hadn't known she was in the immortal city within the immortal mountains, Xiao Han would have thought she was in some small village in the countryside.

Seeing that the person asking the question was a young girl and there was an even younger girl standing next to her, the farmer kindly pointed to the largest and most beautiful house in the village and said, "That's the headman's house. Go there and ask him."
