The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han naturally fully supported Xie Yi's idea of enclosing land and building a city.

But she also knew that it was too difficult to find a place with rich spiritual energy and no owner.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Fortunately, as long as you have an idea and slowly explore it, maybe it will be possible to realize it.

Xie Yi highly recognized Xiao Han's loyalty to the alliance. Now he only hoped that Xiao Han could successfully complete his Dan formation.

If he failed at the Jindan stage, he would really have lost a good subordinate.

"Let's go back to Crescent City now."

Although Xie Yi had kept a low profile during his visit to Tianque City, the City Lord's Mansion would surely get the news soon. If these people came to pay him a visit, even though he was too lazy to entertain them, he would be in trouble if he had to.

Xiao Han asked tentatively, "Is it okay for you to take all these children with you while I use the teleportation array?"

Xie Yi glanced at her sideways, almost laughing out of anger, "You're really shameless. Considering that you helped me find a good apprentice, you ordered me to be your bodyguard, and now you even want me to be your nanny and serve these little kids?"

Xiao Han hurriedly explained, "No, no, how could I dare to think that? I just thought that if you had one less person to take with you on your journey, wouldn't that save you a little effort?"

Xie Yi: "What are you thinking? Why would I need to spend any effort to help you guys on your journey in a flying boat?"

Xiao Han let out a cry, immediately realizing she'd been mistaken. She'd assumed that when a Nascent Soul cultivator led a group on a journey, they would be enveloped in spiritual energy and fly away on a beam of light.

The flying boat entering and leaving the Immortal City would definitely trigger the city's warning ban. Xie Yi asked the local Jindan elder to report to the City Lord's Mansion, then launched the flying boat and asked Xiao Han to take the people aboard.

Xiao Han said a simple goodbye to Jiang Xin and boarded the flying boat with the five children, big and small.

Xie Yi's flying boat is neither a large treasure ship nor a small personal flying boat. It is a small spaceship specially customized by him that can carry up to ten people but has an extremely fast speed.

After Xiao Han and the others had all boarded, Xie Yi pointed to the place where the spirit stones were placed on the spaceship and said to Xiao Han, "You are responsible for replacing the spirit stones. You need to replace them every two quarters of an hour, one hundred spirit stones at a time. As for how to fly, that's none of your business."

Xiao Han silently calculated that one hundred spirit stones for two quarters of an hour means two hundred spirit stones for one hour.

If you fly ten hours a day, that would be two thousand spirit stones.

With a Yuanying master following him, he would definitely walk the shortest straight-line distance.

I just don’t know how far the straight-line distance is from Tianque City to Xinyue City, and how many days it will take for this flying boat to fly?

Watching the flying boat soaring into the sky, Jiang Xin secretly decided that after successfully building her foundation, she would go to Xinyue City to make a living.

At that time, she would be able to live in Crescent City with her master and mother.

The flying boat flew out of Tianque City and reached a height of several thousand meters.

The flying boat's protective shield was open, and the four children lay on the side, looking at the scenery below. Even Tian Cuicui, now a grown woman, stood at the edge, quietly looking down.

Even though they had ridden flying swords many times, the flying boat flew higher than the flying sword and the feeling was different.

The flying boat, which is about ten meters long, looks a bit like a fatter and wider black-sailed boat. In the middle of the boat is a small house for resting. Boss Xie naturally rests in the room.

Poor Xiao Han had to guard the place where the spirit stones were placed and change them every half an hour.

The children looked at the scenery for a while and then began to read and write.

Xiao Han stipulated that there must be one and a half hours, or three hours, of study time every day.

Nie Yong was in charge of teaching the other four to read and write. Xiao Han's requirements were not high; they just needed to be able to read and write some common characters and do basic arithmetic, without being illiterate.

What's more, Nie Yong not only taught his companions to read and write, but even Ba Dou learned a lot of words.

Xiao Han praised Badou as the most cultured monster bird in the Monster World, which made Badou feel proud and motivated to learn even more. It was a pity that its claws were not suitable for writing, otherwise it would have written a big-character poster and posted it in the Monster Forest to make a name for itself.

Of course, whether the monsters in the Monster Forest can understand the big-character posters is another matter.

In order to reward Nie Yong, the young teacher, Xiao Han also gave him a storage bag so that he could store his books, desks, pens, ink, paper, inkstone and other miscellaneous things.

Thinking back to when she first started saving for a storage bag, she had to save for a year or two. These kids not only had enough food and clothing, but they even had storage bags. They were much luckier than her.

After arriving in Tianque City, the four who had successfully drawn Qi into their bodies had already eaten spiritual rice and vegetables. These spiritual rice and vegetables were too high in spiritual energy for Xiaocao's mortal body to handle, so Xiao Han took some time to prepare some low-spiritual-energy food for her.

In this way, Xiaocao has fewer impurities to excrete, and there is no need to stop the flying boat for her to go down to urinate or defecate.

Xiao Han thought, if he didn't follow, Boss Xie would have to control the flying boat all by himself and take care of the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of a group of children. That scene would probably be as incredible as imagining whether a fairy needs to poop.

Xie Yi, who was hiding in the room thinking about how to enclose land and build a city, naturally had no idea about Xiao Han's evil ideas.

With Xie Yi accompanying them, the journey was naturally smooth. Even if there were any blind demonic birds, Xie Yi's imposing power would scare them away before they even got close to the flying boat.

When night fell, Xiao Han asked Boss Xie where to stop to rest. Xie Yi said that they had to fly continuously throughout the night.

Anyway, Xiao Han only needs to replace the spirit stones on time, and Xie Yi can control the flying direction of the flying boat.

Xiao Han thought, just drive at night, anyway, all I have to do is step on the accelerator and I don’t have to worry about anything else.

As a foundation-building cultivator, she could go without sleep for several days and nights. It was just changing spirit stones, which was not tiring.

The boat had a protective shield, like a transparent glass house. So Xiao Han let the children meditate and rest in the open space at the stern. Those who wanted to sleep could just lie down on the boat and sleep.

After flying non-stop day and night, on the third day, the group finally arrived at Crescent City.

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Crescent City Loose Cultivator Alliance, Boss Xie packed up his flying boat and left. Naturally, the children were left to Xiao Han to take care of.

There is no need to rush to accept disciples.

Xiao Han consulted with Elder Mi and decided to let the eldest child, Tian Cuicui, take care of the children and temporarily live in the backyard of the headquarters.

She had to find Boss Xie and ask him about the arrangements for his apprentice before she could make arrangements for the others.

After all, Xiaocao is tied to Linhe. As the leader's apprentice, he will have no problem supporting Xiaocao in the future.

And Nie Yong, Tang Run, and Tian Cuicui.

The headquarters temporarily lent them money for rent and living expenses, and arranged for them to do some work within their ability. Once their cultivation level improved, they would be able to support themselves.

As for why Xiao Han didn't lend them the money himself, it was because these people would work for the alliance in the future and be loyal to the alliance.

Xiao Han had just settled the children when Lu Xinyu, who had received the news, came over.

The two chatted for a while about their respective situations a year after they separated. Lu Xinyu took out something and put it in Xiao Han's hand.

"Take it. This is a little gift from me. Don't refuse it."

Xiao Han glanced at the black pebble-like stone in his hand. He felt refreshed after holding it and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Lu Xinyu smiled and said, "It's the Soul Condensing Stone. Holding it can reduce the growth of inner demons. I found it by accident and gave it to you for the Dan Formation."

Xiao Han was shocked, "No, this is too expensive, I can't take it!"

This is one of the treasures for forming a golden core. I’m afraid it can’t be bought without one or two million spirit stones.

The key is that it is something you can only encounter by chance.
