The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han stepped forward and began to perform rejuvenation techniques on Jiang Yaohua without a word.

Jiang Yaohua then noticed Xiao Han. She opened her mouth in shock and was speechless for a moment.

Decades have passed, and Xiao Han is still as young as she was back then, as if time has never crushed her.

Although Xiao Han's appearance is not outstanding, his youth is his greatest asset.

Consider that Jiang Wan is a decade younger than Xiao Han, and far more beautiful than him. But so what? Even the most beautiful woman loses her beauty when her energy and blood decline, and her skin becomes loose and wrinkled.

"You, you are..." She recognized who Xiao Han was, but for a moment, she forgot Xiao Han's name.

Jiang Wan hurriedly said, "She is Xiao Han, the Xiao Han we brought back from the mortal city and who later wrote the storybook."

She loves reading storybooks, so she has been thinking about Xiao Han for many years.

"I recognize her. Her appearance hasn't changed much. I just can't remember her name for a moment."

Jiang Yaohua sighed.

Xiao Han smiled at Jiang Yaohua, then took out a high-quality healing pill from his storage bag, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, take this pill. Healing your wounds is the most important thing first."

Jiang Yaohua found that she could not see through Xiao Han's cultivation level, and had roughly guessed why Jiang Xin was rescued.

She didn't act pretentiously. She took the pill, thanked him, and swallowed it.

Xiao Han asked Jiang Yaohua to meditate first to activate the elixir to heal her wounds, while he and Jiang Wan and her daughter went out first.

When they arrived at the outer room, before Xiao Han could even reveal her plan, Jiang Wan had already said to her daughter, "Xin'er, quickly kneel down and kowtow to your Aunt Xiao. If it weren't for her today, we might never see each other again."

Jiang Xin immediately knelt down and said, "Aunt Xiao, I will never forget your kindness. Please accept my greeting."

Xiao Han helped Jiang Xin up with great emotion.

Many years ago, she was forced to become a concubine by the mayor of Lingyun City. It was Jiang Yaohua and his apprentice who saved her and brought her to Fuyuan City.

Many years later, he saved Jiang Wan's daughter again. Could this drink and this bite be predestined?

While Jiang Yaohua was recovering from her injuries, Xiao Han finally had time to ask for specific details.

It turned out that over the years, Jiang Yaohua and his apprentice had been living in Fuyuan City and had not dared to venture into other immortal cities.

Jiang Yaohua's cultivation level remained at the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, while Jiang Wan's was at the seventh level of Qi training.

When Jiang Wan was in her forties, she suddenly wanted to have a child to pass on the Jiang family's legacy.

She didn't want to find a male cultivator as a long-term partner, but instead chose a good-looking male cultivator, hooked up with him, and practiced dual cultivation with him a few times. After she became pregnant, they stopped having any contact.

After Jiang Xin was born, she had no interest in practicing anymore and devoted all her attention to her daughter.

Jiang Xin inherited the advantages of her parents and is also a great beauty.

Her spiritual root aptitude is also good, with dual spiritual roots, but the purity of her spiritual roots is only medium to low, which slightly restricts her cultivation speed.

Even in a small marginal fairy city like Fuyuan City with thin spiritual energy, she, now 25 years old, has cultivated to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training without any auxiliary elixirs.

Jiang Xin wanted to leave Fuyuan City and explore other immortal cities. However, Jiang Yaohua was old and would never leave Fuyuan City. Jiang Wan also felt that her daughter was too beautiful and had no one to take care of her. If she went to a strange place, she would probably encounter many bad people who coveted her beauty. Naturally, she would not agree to her daughter leaving.

But she didn't expect that her daughter would also suffer misfortune while staying in Fuyuan City.

As the local tyrant of Fuyuan City, the Luo family took a fancy to a casual cultivator and naturally thought that if they just made a gesture, the other person would come to them.

However, not only did Jiang Xin firmly disagree, but Jiang Yaohua and Jiang Wan also did not want their precious child, whom they had raised so tenderly, to become a concubine of an old man in his seventies or eighties, even if this man was the grandson of the city lord.

The lustful old man from the Luo family naturally didn't take the opinions of these wandering cultivators seriously. Seeing that they disagreed, he simply sent several cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training to directly snatch the person away.

Jiang Yaohua was severely injured for defending his disciple.

They were lucky that at this critical moment, they met Xiao Han who came back to find them.

After learning more about the cause and effect, Xiao Han asked, "Jiang Wan, what are you going to do from now on?"

Even though he had made up his mind, Xiao Han still wanted to ask for their opinions.

Jiang Wan looked at Xiao Han and said firmly, "Let Xin'er leave with you, Xiao Han. I hope that since we have known each other for so long, you will help her to the end and make sure she is properly settled."

Xiao Han asked in surprise, "Where are you and your master? Aren't you two leaving?"

Jiang Wan smiled bitterly and said, "My master is old and was seriously injured this time, so it will be even harder for him to leave. It's okay, as long as Xin'er leaves, the City Lord's Mansion won't do anything to us, master and disciple."

Xiao Han said, "Don't worry, your master's injuries won't be serious. Quickly pack your things. Once she's recovered for an hour, I'll take you away. She's sitting on the flying sword, so she'll be fine."

Of course Jiang Wan wanted to stay with her daughter, but she was worried about her master and was afraid that it would cause too much trouble for Xiao Han, so she cruelly let her daughter go alone.

The carefree and proud little girl was eventually beaten by life and learned to be patient, humble and calculating.

She always addressed Xiao Han by her name instead of "senior", and asked her daughter to call Xiao Han "Auntie". Naturally, she wanted to bring the two of them closer, and hoped that Xiao Han would not forget that they had known each other from humble beginnings and that their relationship was different from that of ordinary friends.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Han take the initiative to offer to take them all away, she immediately became happy and hurriedly began to pack her things.

Jiang Yaohua originally didn't want to drag down his disciples and grand disciples, but after taking Xiao Han's high-level healing pills, he felt that his injuries had recovered a lot, so he agreed to go together.

Although the City Lord's Mansion released the people very readily, in order to avoid any further complications, it is better to leave Fuyuan City as soon as possible.

It is also convenient for monks to pack up their things. They just need to transfer all the things placed outside into the storage bag.

Then, Xiao Han enlarged the flying sword and flew towards the city gate with the three members of the Jiang family.

On the street, many Qi-cultivating monks stopped and looked at the four people on the flying swords with envy.

The foundation-building cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion flew directly over the fairy city when entering and leaving Fuyuan City. Today was the first time they saw a foundation-building cultivator flying a flying sword at a distance of one foot above the ground.

Although the flying sword flew low, it was still very fast.

Not long after, they arrived at the city gate.

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, Xiao Han saw Luo Xun from the City Lord's Mansion standing outside the city gate with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Han was shocked. Could it be that the City Lord's Mansion still wanted to cause trouble and would not let them leave?

Fortunately, the other party was not what she thought.

Luo Xun bowed to Xiao Han and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please stay for a moment."

After saying that, he handed a storage bag to Jiang Xin.

"It is my fault that I, Luo Xun, failed to educate my children properly and frightened Miss Jiang. I hope Miss Jiang will accept this small gift."
