The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han finally calmed down again and released Croton from the spirit beast bag.

Badou was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was not in the Monster Forest, but back in the stone house.

Then it discovered that the house was no longer the small stone house it had been before.

"Haha, it's good here. It's good here..."

Croton didn't care why Lu Xinyu didn't let it out to hunt, and why she sent it back. She was happy that she had a big house to live in again.

If the space is bigger, it can fly up and down in circles in the house and exercise more.

Xiao Han took out some of its monster meat, placed its bird's nest in the corner, and also placed the stone mortar that produced spiritual water aside so that it could drink water.

After settling these, she said, "I want to practice in seclusion. Don't disturb me."

The croton cackled a few times in response and then flew to the stone mortar to drink water.

Anyway, it has food and drink, so it doesn't care what its owner does.

During her retreat this time, Xiao Han not only had to take pills to break through the barrier, she also had to learn the spell that Xie Yi gave her.

As for collecting the Foundation Establishment Pills, she wasn't worried. This wasn't something she could do for just a year or two. According to Xie Yi, it would take at least several years before she could deliver the goods.

This thing can't be rushed. If the goods are not released at the auction, there is no point in her being anxious.

Besides, she has another way, which is to buy it from Ji Zhiheng.

Next time she will take the initiative to raise the price and give Ji Zhiheng some hard work fee.

As long as the amount does not exceed the highest price at the Crescent City auction, Xie Yi will definitely not say anything.

Sit on the cushion and calm your mind.

Xiao Han began to practice his skills. After one cycle, the barrier remained motionless and not a single bit of the refined spiritual energy could be retained.

It seems that without the help of elixirs, it is unknown when this barrier will be loosened.

She took out the pill bottle containing Ningyuan Pill and poured out a deep red pill.

The fragrant aroma of medicine immediately filled the entire room.

She threw the pill into her mouth, and a strange feeling of spiciness and coolness filled her mouth.

As she swallowed, the pill slid down.

Then, a warm current began to radiate from the chest.

Then, an indescribable feeling of discomfort in her chest and abdomen made her frown involuntarily.

Xiao Han immediately began to practice his skills, and then squeezed his dantian with all his strength.

The spiritual energy dissipated and disappeared again and again, and was squeezed out again and again. Her eyes were closed, her mind was clear, and her whole body was mechanically practicing the skills over and over again.

I don't know how long it took, but the invisible wall suddenly collapsed, and the spiritual energy that had originally filled the space without a single gap rushed out like a flood that broke through a dam.

Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

She has entered the middle stage of foundation building.

Xiao Han accepted Xie Yi's mission, but didn't rush to complete it. Instead, he retreated to break through the barrier of the small realm. Ye Guchen, who also accepted the mission, became a distinguished guest in a large store like the Treasure Hunting Pavilion.

Because he bought all the yellow-level skills of various attributes in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion at one time.

Boss Xie said that all kinds of exercises are acceptable, as long as they are not repeated.

These skills cannot be copied by them, the foundation-building cultivators, but Boss Xie can definitely do it.

By then, those independent cultivators who have just successfully established their foundation like him should be able to purchase cheaper skills from the Independent Cultivator Alliance.

Ye Guchen told Manager Yin of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion that he was going to open a shop in another small fairy city and come to Xinyue City to purchase goods. He also hoped that Manager Yin could give him a discount.

He decided to buy the most skills at the lowest price possible, so as to leave a good impression of Xie as a capable person.

He and Xiao Han have completely different attitudes towards work, which also reflects their completely different attitudes towards this job.

At this moment, Ye Guchen was like a new employee who had just joined a large company. He just wanted to do more work and perform well.

Xiao Han, on the other hand, is more like a veteran who has been in the workplace for many years. He is familiar with the work processes and does not have much awe of his superiors. He does not expect perfection in his job and tries his best. As long as his boss can't find any major problems, it's fine.

While these two people in Xinyue City were working hard to break through and collecting skills, the Lu family in Canghai City was also discussing the punishment for Lu Xinyu.

The head of the Lu family's Punishment Hall said coldly to the Lu family's Patriarch, who was sitting at the head of the table, "I suggest that Lu Xinyu be imprisoned in the Forbidden Spirit Tower for ten years as a punishment."

There is not a trace of spiritual energy in the Forbidden Spirit Tower, one cannot practice, no one speaks, and one has to rely on fasting pills to survive.

Lu Songyuan looked at him in shock and said in a trembling voice, "Master, are you trying to drive Yu'er crazy? How could her fault be so serious?"

Staying in a place like that for ten years alone would probably drive a girl like Lu Xinyu, who is extroverted and loves lively atmosphere, crazy.

The head of the Punishment Hall roared, "If all the younger generations of the Lu family are like her, running away from home and hiding when they are dissatisfied with the arrangements of their elders, how can the Lu family develop in the long run? They have been living a life of luxury since they were young, with people teaching them martial arts and magic, giving them magical tools, and no shortage of spirit stones and elixirs. And then, when they grow up strong enough, they can abandon the family?

This kind of bad behavior must not be tolerated."

Lu Songyuan was taught from a young age that family should be the most important thing in everything. Only when the family is better and stronger can they do better.

Therefore, he couldn't say much in rebuttal.

But Lu Xinyu is his daughter, and he feels bad watching her suffer.

In his haste, he remembered Xiao Han's words, so he told him about Xiao Han's use of the token to beg for mercy.

Finally, he said: "Yu'er met that male cultivator after she left the family. That man had nothing to do with Yu'er leaving home, so it would be unreasonable for us to threaten Xiao Han with his life and use the token to save him.

This also makes it seem like our Lu family's token has no value at all, and makes people feel that this token is a joke."

Lu Xinyu's uncle, also from the Lu family's eldest branch, also spoke up, "Since Xiao Han wants to use this token to mitigate Xinyu's punishment, I think it's worth considering. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing for a casual cultivator to look down on the Lu family's token."

The Lu family's patriarch, who had been sitting at the head of the table and remained silent, made the final decision, "Then lock him up in the Forbidden Spirit Tower for five years."

The head of the family had spoken, and the head of the Punishment Hall no longer objected. Instead, he said, "After five years, will Lu Xinyu continue to stay in the Lu family, or marry someone else? Even if she does marry, it will be difficult for her to find a suitable Taoist partner."

Lu Songyuan immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Then just kick her out of the Lu family, remove her name from the family tree, and let her go out to fend for herself."

The head of the Punishment Hall looked at him and sneered, "That's exactly what your daughter wants. After the punishment is over, she can leave the Lu family if she wants. Just let her pay the family a ransom of one million spirit stones, and the family will no longer interfere with her."
