The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han thought about it and shouted, "Get out of here! Don't disturb me while I'm resting."

She hoped to scare the two men away.

The two brothers outside the cave were startled. The younger brother immediately said, "Brother, there are people inside. Let's go quickly."

When Xiao Han shouted, his brother had already taken action. With a wave of his hand, he cut off all the vines covering the cave entrance and overturned them, revealing the true scene inside the cave.

The defensive formation only blocks everything that enters and attacks, but it does not block sight and spiritual awareness.

As soon as the two brothers saw the scene in the cave, they immediately understood what Xiao Han was doing.

The elder brother saluted Xiao Han and said, "Excuse me, fellow Daoist. I am Luo Kun, and this is my younger brother Luo Zhong. Although you discovered this place first, I would like to make a deal with you."

Xiao Han looked at him coldly without saying a word.

She was thinking in her mind, if the two brothers forced their way in, what were her chances of winning if she relied on her defensive formation?

Judging from the spiritual pressure sensing, the two brothers are obviously also Jindan cultivators. If they have powerful magic weapons to break the formation, this defensive formation should not be of much use.

At this time, Luo Kun continued, "Although I don't know what kind of ore is produced here, the Suspended Realm is only open for a short time. Even if you dig non-stop, how much can you dig? And by the next time, you may never find this place again. I have five puppets here. I can rent them to you to quickly mine. How about it?"

After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out five human-shaped puppets about one foot tall from the storage ring.

Then, he injected spiritual power into the five puppets and cast some spells, and the puppets immediately turned into adults about seven feet tall.

The material used to refine the puppet's eyes is obviously not very good, and it looks like a dead fish eye with no vitality.

But the movements of the whole body still seem very flexible.

Luo Kun took out five spiritual pickaxes specially used for mining and handed them to the five puppets.

Then he looked at Xiao Han and said with a smile, "My two brothers rely on puppets to mine and earn resources for cultivation, so fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry about these puppets not being able to work. How about it, this deal is very beneficial to both of us, right?"

Xiao Han thought, this is a way to make money. If I buy a few more puppets, wouldn't I just sit back and collect the money?

But puppets also need monks to manage and direct them. This is just like someone in modern society who wants to buy a lot of cars to run a taxi business. Buying a lot of cars to start a taxi company is indeed possible, but not everyone can run a successful company.

She asked calmly, "How is the rent calculated?"

Luo Kun said, "How about giving me 30% of the ore they dig up?"

Xiao Han immediately refused: "No, the rent is too high. I don't want to do this deal."

Although having a few puppets to mine seemed to be a win-win cooperation, she was afraid that these two people would be bad for her and these puppets would turn into killers in the blink of an eye.

But she didn't dare to turn against these two people immediately.

Luo Kun immediately said, "That 20% is already very low. If a puppet is damaged, the cost of repair is very high. Sometimes it may be completely scrapped."

Xiao Han still shook his head.

Luo Zhong suddenly tugged at Luo Kun's sleeve and said, "Brother, I know she's actually afraid of us dealing with her."

Xiao Han: What nonsense are you talking about?

Luo Zhong's IQ, by the standards of a normal person, is actually a bit dull. But sometimes he suddenly becomes extremely smart, keenly perceiving the other person's hidden true emotions.

Luo Kun was stunned. "Fellow Daoist, we can swear a heavenly oath. Am I not worried that you will take all my puppets for yourself?"

Xiao Han said, "Then tell me first, if you harbor evil intentions, how will I punish you?"

Luo Kun immediately said, "If I harbor evil intentions, let my soul be annihilated. This oath is enough. We Luo brothers have an excellent reputation among the low-level cultivators in the Qingcheng Mountain area. If there were any cultivators from Qingcheng Mountain here, they would definitely be able to testify for us two brothers."

However, what he didn't say was that the fate of his two brothers was very strange.

The monks who cooperated with his two brothers were either extremely lucky or had great luck. After renting their puppets, they could dig out mutated special ores from ordinary low-level veins.

Or you may be extremely unlucky, and the mine you are digging may become a waste mine for no reason, and you can't dig anything out.

Therefore, Luo Kun quickly added, "How much ore the puppets can dig up is none of my brothers' business. After all, our income comes from it, and we also hope that they can dig up a lot of good things."

Xiao Han didn't know what he meant by that, but seeing how sincere he was, he realized that it wasn't a good idea to continue this stalemate. He didn't have the confidence to forcefully drive the two away.

So he agreed to rent the puppets to mine.

The two of them swore an oath to the heavens separately. If Xiao Han harbored evil intentions and did not fulfill the transaction properly, her punishment would be that she would never earn any spirit stones from then on.

The deal was finally reached, Xiao Han opened the defensive formation and let the five puppets in.

Even though both parties had sworn an oath to the heavens, Luo Kun told Xiao Han the technique of controlling the puppet in order to reassure her. The two of them did not enter the cave, but just watched from outside.

Xiao Han then began to command the puppet to work according to the spell.

Fortunately, she had excavated the cave previously, and now it has become the size of a house of more than 200 square meters.

The five puppets immediately waved their spirit pickaxes and began to dig tirelessly.

In terms of individual mining speed, they naturally cannot compare with Xiao Han, but the five of them together can mine much faster than her alone.

Xiao Han was not idle either. He was still waving his sword and digging.

However, she had been busy for a while before and had dug up several pieces of blue crystal dragon blood stone as big as a head.

At this time, they had dug a space of more than ten square meters and only then dug out two fist-sized blue crystal dragon blood stones.

As for the five puppets, they had only dug out three pieces of blue crystal dragon blood stone that were smaller than a fist.

If Xiao Han hadn't been paying attention with his spiritual sense at all times, he might not have been able to discover such a small amount of ore.

Outside the cave, Luo Zhong tugged at his brother's sleeve again, "Brother, this is bad. This fellow Taoist is obviously unlucky and has encountered our bad luck."

Luo Kun resisted the urge to cover his brother's mouth and glared at him fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, this fellow Taoist will definitely have good luck and great fortune, and we will also benefit from it."

Xiao Han also paid some attention to the movements of the two brothers outside.

However, she didn't hear clearly what Luo Zhong said, and then after listening to Luo Kun's words, she thought her brother was just saying that she was unlucky. She had no idea that her bad luck was brought by these two brothers.

One hour passed, then two hours passed.

Luo Kun was extremely disappointed when he saw that his five puppets had only dug out four fist-sized blue crystal dragon blood stones.

Blue crystal dragon blood ore, this thing is very valuable. If they are lucky today, they will make a fortune.

What a pity. Now that I have implicated that female cultivator, I can forget about making a fortune here.
