The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The message on the first screen was a team formation message.

We are recruiting cultivators to team up with us to hunt monsters. The requirement is that they must be at the seventh level of Qi training or above.

Xiao Han took one look and immediately moved forward. She didn't know if she could ever achieve these conditions in her lifetime.

The message on the second screen is a missing person notice.

Continuing to look forward, there is a message for purchasing a magical herb.

Xiao Han walked and looked, and found that the information above was really varied. However, none of them were suitable for her.

There are also some recruitment information for workshops mixed in, but the minimum cultivation requirement is the second level of Qi training.

Xiao Han wanted to sigh. With her level of cultivation, she could only hang out with ordinary people. There was no place for her in the monks' team.

Forget it, just consider it as a chance to understand the market situation and broaden your horizons.

Giving up the idea of finding a job here, Xiao Han looked at both sides of the long screen.

After reading it, she filtered through her mind the jobs that she might want to try, and then went back to look.

He stopped in the middle of the screen.

This is a job of catching insects from fruit trees. The monks are rewarded with spirit beads according to the number of flying insects caught.

It didn't specify what level of cultivation a cultivator needed to be qualified for this job, nor did it mention the specific remuneration, but it did mention that a diligent and careful cultivator could catch flying insects in a day and exchange them for four or five spirit stones.

Xiao Han didn't know what the flying insects looked like or how to catch them. She thought, if she could do it, even if she couldn't catch four or five spirit stones a day, she could get as little as forty or fifty spirit beads.

Xiao Han did it as soon as he thought of it. When he turned around and was about to ask the monks around him how to get to the orchard, he suddenly thought that he could buy a map of Fuyuan City.

Not knowing if there were any maps of Fuyuan City for sale, she decided to go to the bookstore on the street to take a closer look.

She hadn't even been to a bookstore yet. Because she was short of money, she'd only glanced at the shops on the street, only knowing what was on sale, without going in to take a closer look.

Alas! I am poor and have little ambition. I don’t even have the courage to go in and have a look.

Xiao Han lamented his poverty and then went to the main street.

She found a bookstore and walked in. There was no customer in the store except a man in his forties, who was not sure whether he was the owner or the waiter. He glanced at her, felt her level of cultivation, and didn't even bother to say hello. He continued to busy himself with his own sorting work.

Xiao Han didn't care and looked carefully at the furnishings inside.

The shop is not big, only about 20 to 30 square meters, and is divided into several small areas.

There are areas for pens, ink, paper and inkstones, areas for storytelling novels, areas for cultivation, and areas for miscellaneous books.

As soon as Xiao Han saw the wooden sign with the word "cultivation" on it, he immediately walked over quickly with his eyes shining.

I picked up a book and looked at the cover. It said "Introduction to Weapon Refining".

She flipped through it quickly, wanting to see what was written on it. She was stunned by the blank pages.

Could it be that there are some restrictions in this book that I am not aware of, so I can't see them?

Xiao Han had seen many strange settings in immortal cultivation novels, so he was not too surprised. So he held up the book and asked the man, "How much is this book?"

The man dropped the book in his hand, walked over to take a look, and said, "Five spirit stones."

Xiao Han put the book back to its original place without a word. He then looked at the titles of a few more books, such as "Introduction to Alchemy", "Introduction to Talisman Drawing", "Introduction to Formation", "Spiritual Plant Planting", "Ice Arrow Technique", "Fireball Technique", "Earth Escape Technique" and so on.

Seeing so many skill books and spell books here, Xiao Han was overjoyed. In the future, as long as he saved up money and bought books here, he could learn so many spells.

She hurriedly searched inside and indeed found the cleaning technique.

Holding up the book on cleaning techniques, he asked, "How much is this book in spirit stones?"

The man took a look and said, "Any book related to cultivation costs five spirit stones."

Xiao Han felt bad when he thought about how he owed ten spirit stones in order to learn a cleaning technique.

Five more spirit stones mean five hundred spirit beads. I have to work for many days to earn that much. Sister Hu, this is double the tuition fee.

However, Sister Hu doesn't seem to be the type to ruthlessly kill anyone. I'd better not jump to conclusions. I'll wait until I have spirit stones and come here to buy other spell books to study.

The shopkeeper seemed impatient. Thinking of the pitiful spiritual pearls in his skin, Xiao Han didn't dare to look around anymore, so he asked, "Is there a map with markings of various places in Fuyuan City?"

Without even looking up, the man said, "The cheapest one is thirty spirit beads."

Xiao Han said: "Can you show it to me? I want to buy it."

The man then went to look in the miscellaneous book section and took out a folded piece of paper that looked rough and tough.

Xiao Han took it and took a look.

Well, this map is quite simple and crude, it is just a floor plan of Fuyuan City.

Some key areas are marked out according to several main roads.

However, before she could take a closer look, the map was taken away by the man.

"If you want to take a closer look, pay first." The man said bluntly.

Xiao Han thought that he couldn't even tell the directions of Fuyuan City, and really needed a map to help him. He had to reluctantly count out thirty spirit beads and give them to the man.

The man took the spirit pearl and then gave her the map.

Xiao Han thought of the address of the orchard he wanted to go to and looked for it on the map. When he couldn't find it, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there even Feilong Mountain here?"

The man rolled his eyes and pointed to a place in the upper right corner of the map and said, "Isn't this the place?"

Only then did Xiao Han discover that there was a line like an earthworm drawn at the branch of a main road, and the three words "Feilong Mountain" were marked there in very small letters.

He folded the map speechlessly and turned to leave.

Seeing the many storybooks on display, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you accept new storybooks here?"

The man glanced at her and asked, "Did you write this?"

Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, then suddenly had an idea and said, "My brother likes to read storybooks and is also good at making up stories. He wants to write one, so I'll ask for him."

The man was indeed interested. "My storybooks are the best sellers here. Many monks love to read them. If your brother has a new storybook, you can bring it to me. If it's good, the writing fee will be quite high."

Xiao Han nodded happily and said that he would definitely ask his brother to write the storybook as soon as possible.

After leaving the bookstore, Xiao Han followed the route on the map and headed to Feilong Mountain, wanting to see if he could complete the task of catching flying insects in the orchard.

As for writing storybooks, I can only do it in my spare time at work.
