The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han soon learned Ma Xiu Lian's name and her experience of being robbed.

A lone female cultivator whose cultivation level is not particularly high is exactly the target that those robbery cultivators like to attack.

She recalled the scene in the Yanling Mountains where she was surrounded and attacked by two robber cultivators, a man and a woman, and couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

She said to Ma Xiu Lian, "Would you like to work in the alliance as a small manager? The salary isn't particularly high, but it should cover the daily expenses of practicing Qi training. It's also safer. You can give it a try. If you feel the income is too low, you can quit at any time."

Seeing that the surrounding cultivators were looking at her with envy, and having just experienced being chased by robber cultivators, Ma Xiu Lian immediately nodded in agreement.

Xiao Han asked her to leave a few communication talismans and go back for the time being.

The people working here at the headquarters now are all acquaintances and friends that everyone has found.

It seems that nothing is happening these two days, but Xiao Han knows that when Boss Xie comes back, many functional departments of the alliance will be established and put into operation.

Then, she consulted with the two Jindan elders, and then notified the seven foundation-building managers of the task of capturing the two robber cultivators by issuing tasks to earn contribution points.

In the past few days, the headquarters has also recruited several independent cultivators in the foundation-building stage, but these latecomers have not yet been appointed as the chief managers.

The arrest mission was finally taken over by Manager Tian, and he quickly caught the man.

After all, these robbers hadn't realized that if they failed to rob, they wouldn't be able to return to New Moon City. Manager Tian only needed to memorize their appearances and wait for them at the city gates, easily capturing them.

However, Xiao Han no longer paid attention to how to punish the robbers after catching them, because a major event that would affect the Loose Cultivator Alliance was coming.

Xie Yi came back and brought back two formation masters from the Juxian Sect. They wanted to set up a teleportation formation in the backyard of the alliance headquarters.

Several high-ranking members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance also knew at this time that the alliance would have its own spirit stone mine.

Although this mine was a collaboration with the Juxian Sect and they could only get half of the spirit stones, a spirit stone mine that could provide a steady stream of income still made all the senior officials who knew about it extremely excited.

At least with a stable and substantial source of income, the normal operation of the alliance in the future will definitely be no problem.

The miners who dig for spirit stones are naturally low-level cultivators from the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

The high-level cultivators stationed in the spirit stone mine are led by a Jindan cultivator from each of the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Juxian Sect.

Then both sides sent two foundation-building monks to manage the miners and deal with some minor matters in the mine.

Of course, the Loose Cultivator Alliance can also send a few more young managers in the Qi training stage to help with chores. Anyway, the wages of these people are all included in the total mining expenses.

All the managers of the Loose Cultivator Alliance became busy all of a sudden.

But at this time, Xiao Han had some free time because Xie Yi took away her position as general manager and only let her manage the alliance's accounts alone.

After all, he was handling a large amount of resources, so Xie Yi felt more at ease with Xiao Han.

In other words, the income and expenditure of the Loose Cultivator Alliance were all handled by Xiao Han. After all, the Loose Cultivator Alliance's warehouse would be set up where Xie Yi lived, making it very convenient for Xiao Han to put things in and take things out.

Then the exchange of contribution points, which will also involve the alliance's supplies and spirit stones, will also be under her overall management.

After only being the general manager for a few days, Xiao Han became the dedicated financial director, but he didn't feel any psychological gap.

In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is the bottom line. If she is too busy every day and has less time for cultivation, how can she achieve the great perfection of foundation building within the time she has set?

Since Xie Yi said she could find a helper, Xiao Han immediately named Lu Xinyu.

Lu Xinyu was born into a prominent family and received a systematic education since childhood. Whether it was calculating or checking accounts, it should be no problem.

Xiao Han asked her to be his assistant and work beside him. In case he needs to retreat to improve his cultivation in the future, he can let Lu Xinyu take care of these financial matters.

Ma Xiu Lian was also arranged by Xiao Han to work as a minor manager at the headquarters.

Since there are only two Jindan elders in the headquarters for the time being, Xie Yi can only let Mi Rui go to the mine to take charge, and Jiang Suiting stays in Xinyue City to handle the affairs of the headquarters.

Ye Guchen was arranged by Xie Yi to work in the mine.

Even though this mine is a partnership between two companies, there shouldn't be any deception or concealment of the amount of spirit stones mined daily, but Xie Yi still hopes to arrange one of his confidants to supervise it.

With the income from spirit stones, the matter of opening a shop can naturally be put on the agenda.

Xiao Han made a suggestion. As long as the shop was opened by the Loose Cultivator Alliance, lone cultivators could get a 10% discount by showing their alliance identity token when shopping there.

This will not only allow alliance members to benefit and feel the advantages of joining the alliance, but also enable them to sell more products at a lower profit margin.

This suggestion was passed unanimously.

Then, the first auction of the Loose Cultivator Alliance was held, at which scarce and urgently needed items such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Xuan-level techniques were released to attract more loose cultivators to join the alliance.

After Ma Xiu Lian was robbed and then joined the alliance, the alliance immediately arrested the robber and brought the robber to justice. This incident was deliberately publicized, which naturally attracted many independent cultivators.

Not to mention the other benefits, the fact that they could help him get revenge and capture the robber who robbed him was nothing compared to the registration fee of 500 spirit stones. Therefore, more and more members joined the alliance.

This completely deprived Li Moyun of the opportunity to refine other magic weapons. For him, although refining the emblem made money, it completely took away the fun of refining equipment, and it also did not allow him to improve his skills.

Later, Li Moyun had no choice but to give this business to the sect.

Fortunately, this business was finally taken over by the sect, and Xie Yi gave half of the great benefit of the spirit stone mine to the Juxian Sect. The Juxian Sect did not feel comfortable making trouble with the raw materials of the emblem.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This time, Xiao Han spent a full sixteen years cultivating from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to its peak. Although she still had a Condensing Yuan Pill for breaking through barriers, this kind of pill was most effective the first time it was used, and the effect would be much worse the second time.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Han insisted on practicing every night even though it was useless, breaking through the barrier again and again. He did this for three years before taking the remaining Ningyuan Pill.

Hard work pays off. Her three years of continuous squeezing and impact, coupled with the help of Ningyuan Dan, finally allowed her to break through to the late stage of foundation building.

Calculated by age, she is almost eighty years old, and she still has more than a hundred years to live, which is the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator of two hundred and fifty or two hundred and sixty years.

There are still sixty to seventy years left before the golden period of forming the elixir before the age of one hundred and fifty.

Xiao Han estimated that it would take at least thirty years for him to cultivate from the late stage of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building.

Then she still has about forty years of golden time left to form her elixir.

Although it is not very spacious, there is still room for improvement.

Although her aptitude had been improved by the Spirit Cleansing Pill and was comparable to that of a cultivator with three spiritual roots, with such aptitude, the chance of successfully forming a pill was still less than 20%.
