The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The talisman that Li Moyun gave was certainly not a one-time use talisman, but a talisman that could be used for multiple attacks until the energy inside was exhausted.

This was naturally the reward given to him by the sect that time.

Xiao Han listened to him explain how to control this talisman and immediately realized its value. He shook his head and said, "You should keep this good thing for self-defense. I can't have it."

Li Moyun: "I'm staying in the sect, there's no danger, so I don't need it."

Xiao Han: "That won't work either. It's too precious."

Li Moyun looked at her and said helplessly: "Take it for self-defense. It will be the same if you return it to me after returning to Xinyue City."

Xiao Han thought about it and felt that this was okay.

With a treasure like this, this trip to the desert is at least a lot safer.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Han took the talisman and thanked him sincerely.

Li Moyun's eyes were deep, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said: "Be careful when you are alone outside."

Xiao Han nodded: "Yes, I will."

The lease on the house in Xinyue City would expire in four months. Xiao Han estimated that she would only have to wander around in the desert for a month or so at most. By then, she would return regardless of whether she had found the main ingredients for the Ningyuan Pill or not.

Therefore, this house must not be returned, otherwise another 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones will be wasted.

However, during the time that he is not in Xinyue City, he can lend the house to Lu Xinyu to live in, so that she can speed up her cultivation in this place with rich spiritual energy.

When Lu Xinyu learned that Xiao Han was going to the desert to look for medicinal herbs and gave her the house to stay in temporarily, she was naturally very happy.

In addition, Badou was going to leave with Xiao Han and could not join their hunting team, so Lu Xinyu decided to just go into seclusion in Xiao Han's stone house for the time being.

But if this happened, Ye Guchen would have no one to form a hunting team with and would not be able to accumulate spirit stones.

This made her feel a little embarrassed.

Xiao Han naturally didn't know about Lu Xinyu's dilemma. She put all the things in the house into the storage bag, handed the restriction token to Lu Xinyu, and then she took Ba Dou and left Xinyue City.

The desert is to the west of the Monster Forest, and Crescent City is to the east of the Monster Forest.

In other words, if you fly directly west along the Monster Forest, you can reach the desert area.

It’s a pity that Xiao Han didn’t have the strength and courage to walk in a straight line. She didn’t even dare to walk along the steep mountain wall at the edge of the Monster Forest.

She made a circle, took the teleportation array of Xingyao City, bypassed the Monster Forest, and when she was teleported to the fairy city closest to the desert area, she flew over on her sword.

She was already very familiar with the road from Xinyue City to Xingyao City, and she walked in silence all the way.

After teleporting from Xingyao City to Weining City, there was no teleportation array.

Between Weining City and the desert area, there is a small fairy city, Sunset City.

Xiao Han, who has become a foundation-building cultivator, finally no longer has to be overly cautious.

After all, it has never been heard of that a group of foundation-building monks would rob.

She asked the innkeeper directly about the distance from Weining City to Sunset City and where she could buy a safe route map.

Seeing that she was a foundation-building cultivator, the innkeeper did not dare to neglect her and told her everything.

From Weining City to Sunset City, the foundation-building cultivator flew on a sword, and estimated that one day would be enough.

As for the safe route map, he already had it in his hands and could purchase it for only 500 spirit stones.

Xiao Han bought a safe route map, stayed in the inn for one night, and the next morning he rode his flying sword to Sunset City.

It is already a fourth-level croton, and its innate magical power is speed. When it flies, it is faster than Xiao Han flying with a sword.

Therefore, Badou sometimes followed Xiao Hanfei by himself, sometimes ran to the front, and sometimes landed on the flying sword to take a ride.

With it chattering and making noises around him, Xiao Han wasn't lonely along the way.

At sunset, we finally arrived at Sunset City.

Sunset City is a small fairy city. Even the entrance fee is only two spirit stones. There is not a single foundation-building cultivator on the street. Those coming and going are all Qi-cultivating cultivators.

The best-quality guest rooms in the inn only cost thirty spirit stones a night. Xiao Han, who had previously stayed in a high-cost fairy city like Crescent Moon City, felt that the few spirit stones in his storage bag were enough to make him a wealthy man here.

Although there were mostly ordinary daily necessities in the Tianzi Guest Room, the high bed and soft pillows still allowed Xiao Han to have a good sleep.

Since she started practicing Taoism, she has slept very little. Now that she can no longer practice, she can enjoy a good night's sleep and have sweet dreams.

The next morning, Xiao Han took Croton and began to fly towards the desert area.

When Xiao Han saw the endless sea of sand, he, who had only seen desert images on TV and his phone, was truly shocked by the immersive scene. "Haha, it's so hot, so hot..."

At this time in the desert, there was not a trace of wind, and it was empty and silent.

Feeling the dry air and scorching sun in the desert, Badou stood on the flying sword, stretched his bird neck and called out.

Xiao Han couldn't stand its noise and threatened, "If you bark again, I'll bury you in the sand."

You are a fourth-level demon bird, so this little bit of heat is nothing to you.

Badou shrank his neck and dared not call anymore.

Xiao Han didn't know where to find the black thorn fruits with strong spiritual charm and the one-eyed two-headed lizards above level three. She could only control her flying sword and search aimlessly in the sea of sand.

When you focus your spiritual consciousness on the sand, you will find that there are actually many small animals in this seemingly lifeless sea of sand.

Desert lizards, scorpions, sand snakes, jerboas and more.

However, the lizards Xiao Han saw were all normal lizards with only a little spiritual energy and only one head.

Of course, Xiao Han never thought that he would find what he wanted as soon as he entered the desert.

She was flying slowly at a height of three meters above the ground.

Blackthorn fruit is actually the fruit of a small shrub called red thorn that grows in the desert.

This plant has dark red branches and no leaves. Its flowers are only half the size of a little fingernail and are golden yellow in color, while its fruits are purple-black.

It usually grows in the spiritual springs in the desert.

There are very few places with spiritual springs, and jerboas particularly like to eat its flowers and fruits, making this spiritual medicine even more difficult to find.

Xiao Han didn't know if she had the luck to find it, she just felt that she would not be willing to give up if she didn't give it a try.

Xiao Han, who was concentrating on searching for every blade of grass and every creature on the sand, suddenly felt a breeze blowing.

Gradually, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the fine sand on the ground began to fly in the wind.

"Haha, it's cool now."

Croton flapped its wings and looked very happy.

But at this moment, Xiao Han suddenly saw the black wall that covered the sky and towered into the clouds not far ahead, sweeping towards this side.

"Oh my god, sandstorm!"

Xiao Han screamed, and the flying sword under his feet suddenly changed direction. Spiritual power rushed into the flying sword, and it turned and sped away.

We had just entered the desert and were ready to give her a warning.

Even though she was a foundation-building cultivator, she did not dare to fall into the center of the sandstorm, let alone hide under the moving sand dunes.

"quack....."

The defenseless Badou was thrown out by the flying sword that turned suddenly and sped away, and immediately screamed.

"Run away quickly." Xiao Han shouted at Badou while running away.

Although Badou didn't understand why, he still flapped his wings rapidly and soon caught up with Xiao Han.

"Master, where is the monster?"

Croton was very confused. It didn't feel the pressure from the high-level monster. Why was its master running away?
