The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 486: Unlucky

Xie Yi was staying temporarily in Anyang City. What he did every day was to read the various books and jade slips recommended to him by Xiao Han.

After all, relying on Xiao Han's introduction is not as good as reading more books on your own to familiarize yourself with and understand the Yuantian Continent from various angles.

When Xiao Han was about to go to Sword Test City, Xie Yi also decided to travel around the world.

Xiao Han's Hanyi Films is now managed by Luo Yufan in charge of filming, and Qu Zhiyun in charge of post-production operations. Qu Zhiyun also manages her Half Day Leisure Tea House.

It can be said that Xiao Han is now like a company shareholder who only pays dividends but does not take care of anything.

Although this amount of income would not be of much help to Xiao Han, who is now a Nascent Soul cultivator and wants to make further progress, even a little bit of money is still meat, and who would despise free money?

After taking care of some miscellaneous matters, Xiao Han took Badou and went to the Sword Test City.

Sword Test City is the property of the Tianjian Sect, which is also the only sect where all its members are sword practitioners.

One of the managers of the Tianjian Sect must have been a genius with a great business acumen. He renamed the largest immortal city under the sect as Shijian City, and then held many activities to attract sword practitioners from all over the world.

For example, there are sword cultivator ranking competitions, arena challenges, free sword skills training for foreign cultivators, high-salary hiring of sword-making masters to reside in the Sword Test City, and regular trade fairs and auctions for various sword-making materials.

In short, after a series of measures, the Sword Trial City has now become a holy place in the hearts of sword practitioners all over the world.

If you want to exchange swordsmanship with your peers, go to the Sword Trial City. If you want to refine a peerless sword, go to the Sword Trial City. If you want to buy a sword manual that suits you, go to the Sword Trial City.

Therefore, Xiao Han came to the Sword Test City.

As soon as I walked out of the teleportation hall, I saw many monks carrying long swords on their backs.

Many sword cultivators like to carry their swords on their backs instead of putting them in storage bags, because they want to show their unique identity as sword cultivators.

Especially those pure sword practitioners who only practice one sword throughout their lives.

Xiao Han also liked to see sword practitioners dressed like this. He thought the men were very heroic and the women were very brave.

I wandered around the street for a while, then found a teahouse and went in.

The lobby of the teahouse was bustling with activity. Many low-level cultivators were drinking tea and chatting with their friends, discussing the latest happenings and interesting stories in the Sword Test City.

When the waiter in the teahouse saw that Xiao Han was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he immediately wanted to take her to the private room upstairs.

Xiao Han waved his hand, indicating that he would sit in the corner of the lobby and drink tea.

She wanted to listen to the conversations of these low-level cultivators, so as to get familiar with the Sword Trial City from a side perspective.

But after listening for a while, they were all talking about the rankings of sword cultivators at various levels of cultivation, as well as some things about the arena challenge competition.

Xiao Han thought about it and simply waved for the waiter to come over. Then he asked, "Do you know which swordsmith master here is the best at refining weapons? And how much do they charge?"

The waiter smiled and said, "We have several swordsmiths here who can be called masters. However, they all have their own styles and their fees vary. It's up to you, senior, to choose."

Then, the teahouse waiter described several sword-making masters in the Sword Test City one by one as if he knew them all by heart.

According to the waiter, any weapon refiner who can forge a top-grade sword can become a master.

However, there are still differences between masters. This difference lies in the success rate of refining top-grade magic weapons. In other words, with the same materials, some masters have a higher success rate of refining top-grade swords, while others have a lower success rate.

Among these masters, the one with the weirdest temper and the most recognized highest level of weapon refining is Master Ou Chun, who is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It is said that the more precious the materials sent by the swordsmith, the lower the fee she charges.

In fact, each swordsmith has no fixed fee standard. It all depends on whether the conditions offered by the swordsmith are accepted by the person seeking swordsmithing.

After hearing this, Xiao Han immediately decided to visit Swordsmith Master Ou Chun to see what conditions he would offer.

After asking the waiter about the location of Master Ou Chun's workshop, he took a beast cart there.

Perhaps such a famous master no longer needs a prosperous shop to run his store.

The animal cart brought Xiao Han to a secluded bamboo forest far from the main city. If the driver hadn't assured him that he had brought many people to the master for swordsmithing, Xiao Han would have thought that such a place was only for reclusive masters, and there was no way they could have a workshop there.

However, it is believed that a cultivator who has reached the state of Divine Transformation does not need earth fire to smelt materials, so it does not matter where the workshop is built.

After getting off the animal cart, before Xiao Han walked into the bamboo house in front, he saw a boy of about eleven or twelve years old coming out.

The boy bowed to Xiao Han and asked, "Senior, are you here to ask the master to forge a sword?"

Xiao Han nodded, "Exactly."

The boy said, "Master, I still have some work to do and haven't finished refining it yet. Please come back in three days."

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, "Can you let the master take a look at my materials first and talk about it?"

She thought that if the master charged too much, she didn't necessarily have to forge the sword here.

The weapon-making masters in other great immortal cities should also be able to forge swords.

But the boy shook his head and said, "Master, you will not receive other guests until the work in your hands is completed."

Xiao Han: Well, to become a master, I can understand that he has a bit of personality.

Let’s turn back first.

In the end, he came excitedly but left disappointed.

I returned to the main city again and found an inn to stay in.

The next day, Xiao Han decided to go and see the famous sword cultivation competition in the Sword Test City.

She had participated in a fake boxing match herself, so she wondered if the boxing matches here were of the same nature.

However, just as they reached the martial arts arena, they heard someone shouting, "Great news! The two Void Refinement Realm sword masters of the Heavenly Sword Sect are actually openly recruiting registered disciples from across the city. Hurry and check it out! The notice is posted."

After saying that, he called everyone to run to the bulletin board where information was posted in the martial arts arena.

Xiao Han, adhering to the characteristics of the Chinese people on Blue Star who love to join in the fun and listen to gossip, also flew over.

Sure enough, on the bulletin board more than three meters high, it was clearly written that the two elders of the Tianjian Sect, Lin Chuyi and Yun Shu, would be at the martial arts training ground tomorrow to recruit cultivators who were not sword cultivators as their registered disciples.

The elders of the Tianjian Sect recruited cultivators who were not sword practitioners as registered disciples. This sounded like something was not right.

Xiao Han was watching in bewilderment when he heard a nearby Foundation Establishment cultivator say, "Becoming a registered disciple of the two elders means he's definitely going to join the Heavenly Sword Sect. So why are they making such a big fuss about recruiting the entire city? Why not just select from among the new disciples when the sect is recruiting?"

His friend echoed: "That's right, it feels very unreasonable."
