The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 444: Meeting the Mermaid

Xiao Han walked into a shop on the street and took a look.

I have to say that many of the items here also have regional characteristics.

For example, there are sound attack magic weapons made from conch shells, defensive magic weapons made from turtles, magic weapons made from fish bones, robes made from fish skins, and so on.

However, Xiao Han asked several large shops, but none of them had Sea Heart Pearls of sufficient quality for sale.

Xiao Han could only give up the idea of buying directly in the store and start shopping with peace of mind.

In a shop selling fish monsters, she even saw the legendary mermaid.

These mermaids all have dark blue hair, and both men and women have slightly curly hair that rises and falls like waves.

Although their facial skin is very delicate, it is not white in color, but rather a healthy wheat-colored skin.

The facial features are three-dimensional and deep, with deep blue eyes, which gives it a rather exotic feel.

It is precisely this appearance that makes them the pets of many people.

Like mermaids, male mermaids also have scales growing from their armpits, which range from small to large and from light to dark in color.

The female mermaid has a bulging chest, and if you ignore the tail at the bottom, it looks like a human wearing a special tight fish scale coat.

The mermaids sold in the shops were all below level 7. When a mermaid reaches level 7, she can transform her fish tail into human legs.

Compared to other monsters, which need to reach the tenth level before they can transform, this half-human, half-fish fish monster, perhaps because it has half human attributes, is favored by heaven and can transform into a human form early.

Xiao Han, an old-fashioned man who saw the legendary mermaids for the first time, stood outside the huge water tank, looking at the several mermaids in the tank with amazement.

A male mermaid, his upper body leaning against the wall of the water tank, his eyes staring unfocused ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

Looking at his facial features from the side, Xiao Han was drooling just by looking at his face. But when she saw the fish scales on his body and the long fish tail, she just wanted to say what a pity.

At this time, a mermaid girl gently waved her tail and swam to Xiao Han.

If her skin was white instead of wheat-colored, she would really look like those foreign beauties with big eyes, high noses, and blue eyes that Xiao Han saw in videos in modern times.

Through the transparent crystal of the water tank, the mermaid girl stared at Xiao Han, and Xiao Han looked at her in surprise.

Mermaids can only speak with the intonation of humans after they transform into human form at the seventh level.

Before this, they were just like other monsters and could only make monotonous sounds.

An old cultivator in the early stage of foundation building came over and bowed to Xiao Han. "Senior, have you taken a fancy to this mermaid? If you like her, you can take her away."

Xiao Han said noncommittally, "Let's take a look first. If we want to buy anything, we'll buy it after we leave Linhai City."

When the old monk saw Xiao Han's expression when she looked at the mermaid and her fair skin, he guessed that she must be a monk from outside the area and couldn't help but give her more advice.

"Buying mermaids in our Linhai City is much cheaper than buying them elsewhere. Many cultivators from other places buy several mermaids and take them home to raise one for fun, while selling the others to make a profit."

These mermaids of his have very low cultivation levels and are of no use other than for viewing. They are also not eligible for auctions, so they can only be placed in shops to trick monks from other places into buying them.

Unfortunately, Xiao Han just wanted to see it for himself, but had no desire to raise one.

Although these mermaids belong to the ranks of demon cultivators, their upper bodies are the same as those of humans, making it difficult for Xiao Han to regard them as demon beasts.

Fearing that the owner would continue to persuade her to buy, Xiao Han had no choice but to turn around and leave the shop.

Buy a mermaid and raise her as a pet. You can enjoy this kind of thing after she becomes a Mahayana monk.

After leaving the store, Xiao Han continued to stroll on the street.

Then, after suddenly seeing a seafood restaurant, Xiao Han's feet suddenly could not move.

Originally in Yuantian Continent, many cultivators believed that they could not eat monster meat, so as to avoid polluting their blood and qi and making their bodies pure and spotless.

However, the territory of Yuantian Continent is too large, and not everyone believes in this theory. There are still some cultivators who eat meat.

Xiao Han had eaten a lot of meat in the fairy mountains of her small world. But after arriving on the Yuantian Continent, influenced by the local culture and the lack of restaurants in Anyang City that served meat, she had forgotten what meat tasted like in the past ten years.

At this moment, standing in front of the restaurant in Linhai City, seeing the low-level monks sitting in the lobby drinking and eating seafood, and smelling the unique aroma of seafood, the glutton in her stomach suddenly became unusually active.

Forget it, don’t worry about it. I used to eat meat, so why should I follow those cultivators in the inland of Yuantian Continent and become a vegetarian?

If we really talk about eating monster meat making her blood and qi polluted, then her blood would have been polluted long ago, so this seafood meal wouldn't make a difference.

Xiao Han, who had convinced himself with almost no effort, turned around and walked into the restaurant that sold seafood.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the restaurant waiter, Xiao Han came to a private room on the second floor.

He ordered four kinds of seafood, and while the waiter was serving the dishes, he took the croton out of the spirit beast bag.

From Zi Yan Valley to the East China Sea, although most of the journey is via the teleportation array, there is also a section of the journey that is traveled by flying.

In addition, Xiao Han practiced in Qu Zhiyun's cave, and it took him several days to break through the barrier of the small realm. All in all, Badou stayed in the spirit beast bag for seven or eight days, which made it feel suffocated.

So when it came out, it started yelling, "Master, Badou, don't go into the spirit beast bag again, never again, quack, never again."

Xiao Han knocked on the table and said, "What are you arguing about? Look at where we are first."

Croton looked around and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

Xiao Han: "This is a restaurant where you can eat meat. If you want to eat meat, shut up."

When Badou heard that there was meat to eat, and in a restaurant, he immediately raised half of his wings to cover his beak, indicating that he would not speak anymore.

After all the food and wine were served, Xiao Han put a small portion of each dish on Badou's plate.

Among them was a shrimp that was more than two feet long. Xiao Han cut it into two parts. The shrimp head part belonged to Croton, and the shrimp tail part was hers.

Xiao Han ate the tender and sweet white shrimp meat, while Badou used his sharp beak and claws to pry open the shrimp shell and eat everything inside.

After tasting a few bites of shrimp, fish and shellfish, Xiao Han, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, ate heartily and almost ate too much.

Although she ordered ordinary seafood that did not have a strong spiritual energy, the unique tenderness and sweetness of the seafood still made her feel that it was delicious.

However, the portion of each dish was too large, so Xiao Han naturally packed up the leftovers without hesitation.

In modern society, she worked in coastal cities. But at that time, she was just a poor working girl. Even though the seafood at the seaside was cheaper than inland, she didn't have the money to taste more.

Now in this world of cultivating immortals, although she is still a low-level cultivator, she finally has the financial strength to enjoy a feast of seafood.

After leaving the restaurant, Xiao Han did not continue shopping, but took Badou out of the city and flew to the beach.

Linhai City wasn't really near the sea; it was still two or three hundred miles away from the coast. Xiao Han decided to visit the small towns or fishing villages closest to the coast and ask around.

If you are lucky, someone may have the Sea Heart Pearl.
