The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Seeing Xiao Han's unhappy expression, the waiter continued, "We also support bartering here. If you have any valuable items, you can bring them out. After appraisal, we will give you a suitable price."

Many cultivators were reluctant to trade their mid-grade spirit stones, and some cultivators had limited ways to obtain mid-grade spirit stones. Therefore, Jubaozhai introduced a barter trading method.

Of course, the items they are interested in trading must be valuable and good things.

Xiao Han wanted this Qiankun Bagua Mirror, but she was reluctant to spend an extra 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.

He rummaged through the goodies in his storage bag, thought of an item, and took it out.

"Look at how much this spiritual medicine is worth in mid-grade spirit stones."

The waiter took it, opened the jade box and looked at it, and immediately said: "This is Jade Purple Ganoderma, but its specific age and value still need to be appraised. Please come over here and have some tea and wait a moment."

After saying that, he took Xiao Han to a small tea room in the corner.

The item Xiao Han took out was the gift from the junior sister who was killed by her senior brother when she went to retrieve the buried treasure of Yin Shu, a disciple of Huading Sect.

I have kept it in the storage bag all these years and took it out today to exchange for some spirit stones.

The waiter placed the jade box containing the Jade Ganoderma on the table, poured Xiao Han a cup of spiritual tea, and then went inside to call for help.

Xiao Han sat at the table drinking tea. Badou saw that no one was around, so he sat on the table and muttered quietly, "He didn't even pour tea for Badou."

Xiao Han almost spit out the spiritual tea he had just drunk from laughing, and scolded, "You're really shameless."

A pet bird actually wants to be respected by others. What good thing is he thinking?

Soon, the waiter came out with an old man in the late Jindan stage.

The waiter pointed to the jade box on the table. The old man opened the box, took out the Jade Purple Ganoderma, examined it carefully, and smelled it. Then he said, "This purple ganoderma is translucent, like purple jade. It is a five-hundred-year-old Jade Purple Ganoderma, worth two thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which is only two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. If it were sold in Gexian Mountain, it would definitely be more than this amount of spirit stones.

Xiao Han immediately regretted it. If she had known that she would fall into the Yuantian Continent, she would have sold it there and brought the spirit stones here. Wouldn't that be a good deal?

Never mind, there’s no point in thinking too much. No one expected that the purchasing power of spirit stones here would be stronger.

The waiter immediately looked at Xiao Han: "Do you think this price is feasible?"

Xiao Han had no idea about the market price of Jade Purple Ganoderma, nor did she know if the price was fair. However, in order to save a few spirit stones, she could only gamble on the reputation of Jubaozhai.

"Okay, I believe in Jubaozhai."

In the end, Xiao Han paid 110,000 low-grade spirit stones and got the Qiankun Bagua Mirror.

To be honest, she also wanted to buy inner armor, a storage ring, or a storage bracelet, but unfortunately, she didn't dare to spend the spirit stones she had casually anymore.

Before leaving, she casually asked the waiter who was attentively seeing her off, "I want to rent a house. Which street is the City Lord's Mansion on?"

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Do you want to rent a house for ordinary living, or a cave for retreat? If it's the former, I can recommend a place for you, and I guarantee the rent will be cheap."

Xiao Han was very surprised. "Isn't it the City Lord's Mansion that has the right to rent out houses?"

The waiter said, "It's true that only the City Lord's Mansion has the right to rent out the cave residence that houses the Spirit Gathering Array. However, ordinary houses in our homes can also be rented out. Although there's no large Spirit Gathering Array, the rent is very cheap."

Xiao Han then asked, "How much is the rent for the cave residence with the Spirit Gathering Array? And how much is the rent for an ordinary house?"

The waiter said, "The monthly rent for the cave residence with the Spirit Gathering Array is 3,000 Spirit Stones. For an ordinary house, it only costs 500 Spirit Stones."

He didn't know that even if it was 3,000 spirit stones per month, this price was already extremely cheap for Xiao Han, who used to pay 20,000 spirit stones in rent per month.

Although Xiao Han also felt that 500 spirit stones per month was almost enough to live there for free, but she wanted to practice quickly, so she naturally thought it was more cost-effective to rent a cave with a spirit gathering array.

Seeing that Xiao Han seemed unmoved, the waiter simply transmitted a message, "Senior, you may not know that the spiritual energy concentration in the cave where the spirit gathering array is installed is only about 20% higher than outside.

Senior, why don’t you rent an ordinary house? I will set up a small spirit gathering array for you. Although it will cost some spirit stones to activate the array, the spiritual energy concentration will be about half a percent lower than that of renting a cave. Isn’t the price much cheaper?

My sister doesn't want to rent the house to a male cultivator, but since the senior is a female cultivator, I strongly recommended it to her."

Xiao Han thought about it and felt that this price-performance ratio was indeed better, so he nodded and agreed to go and see the house.

Seeing Xiao Han's willingness, the waiter immediately showed his joy, "Please wait a moment, Senior. I will ask for leave and then take you over to have a look."

He went inside to ask for leave, and then left the Treasure Pavilion with Xiao Han.

He brought Xiao Han to the street, hailed an animal cart, and got on it with Xiao Han.

The interior of the beast carriage is very spacious, much larger than a car. Four large, comfortable armchairs, coupled with a frame that does not feel bumpy, make the riding experience quite good.

It took about half a cup of tea for the animal cart to stop.

After a short time together in the animal carriage, Xiao Han already knew that the waiter's name was Luo Yufan. He was the only one in his family, his sister was named Luo Mingying.

The two siblings also belong to the Luo family, but the Luo family is too large. Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless side branches. They are just of the same surname and clan as the Luo family that runs the City Lord's Mansion.

The parents of the two siblings passed away very early, and the two of them practiced cultivation with great difficulty like independent cultivators.

Although the monthly rent of 500 spirit stones is not a big income, it is enough to cover the living expenses of the two siblings, such as food and travel.

After getting off the animal cart, Luo Yufan paid the fare and walked a few steps before arriving in front of a small courtyard.

Luo Yufan touched the restriction of the courtyard, and soon, a girl who was at the ninth level of Qi training, with ordinary appearance but extremely bright eyes, opened the gate of the courtyard.

"Sister, I brought a tenant here. This senior wants to see the house. If it's suitable, she will rent it."

Luo Mingying looked at Xiao Han and immediately bowed. "Junior Luo Mingying, greetings to the senior."

Xiao Han waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'll go in and take a look at the house."

Luo Mingying hurriedly made a gesture to invite him in.

When Xiao Han entered the courtyard, he saw that in the small courtyard, there were several kinds of spiritual vegetables planted on both sides of the road. There was also a fruit tree more than one meter tall in the corner of the wall, which was full of crisp spiritual fruits.

Seeing this small courtyard where vegetables and fruit trees are grown, Xiao Han immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

There is no way. Rural life, farmyard, and ordinary farmer's life have left too deep an impression on her.

Even though she has become an immortal who can fly and hide in the ground in the eyes of mortals, it still cannot change the sense of intimacy she feels after seeing such a scene.
