The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The fire coal balls were only the size of eggs, and it would be better to call them fire coal lumps rather than fire coal balls, because the coal balls were obviously squeezed by hand, and then dried and sold like this.

There are clear fingerprints on each coal ball.

In addition to the fire coal balls, Xiao Han also bought a small water tank. This was mainly because she learned from chatting with the shopkeeper while buying the fire coal balls that if one did not know how to use the Spring Breeze and Rain spell to draw water, one could pay other cultivators to help cast the spell.

A small jar of spiritual water only cost twenty spiritual beads. This price was actually quite expensive for Xiao Han at the moment. However, Xiao Han thought of the sweet taste of the spiritual water and its benefits to the body, so he decided to spend the money.

After paying twenty-five spirit beads for the moving fee, Xiao Han began to pack and tidy up his new home.

Because she meditated every night, she only needed a small space, so the bed seemed too large and unnecessary for her. Xiao Han folded all her clothes and piled them on the bed, put away the pots, pans, and water tanks, and placed a small square table she bought from a carpenter in the mortal village near the window.

In fact, she was the only one living in the house, and she didn't have many things, so apart from the small square table placed at the door and the stone platform extending on the other side, the house seemed a bit crowded, and the middle part was actually very empty.

Anyway, she has neither relatives nor friends here, and she won't invite anyone to visit her cave, so it doesn't matter if the door is a little crowded.

After cleaning up the cave, she went to find Manager Tian and asked if there were any cultivators willing to trade twenty spirit beads for a tank of water.

Manager Tian saw with his own eyes the small belongings that she had hired mortals to pull over on a cart. They were all items used by mortals. He felt that this female cultivator was very poor and pitiful.

In a moment of kindness, he didn't want Xiao Han's spirit beads, but helped her perform the spring breeze rain spell and filled a small water tank with spiritual water.

Xiao Han thanked Manager Tian repeatedly and sent him away, then started to cook porridge with coal balls.

When monks used fire coal balls to cook, they usually used the Fireball Technique to ignite the coal balls. Xiao Han couldn't use the Fireball Technique, so the monk who sold the fire coal balls sold her a bag of kerosene from the Xiuxian world.

Xiao Han only needs to pour a little kerosene on the coal ball, and then use a flint to light the kerosene, and slowly, the coal ball will be ignited.

Once the fire coal balls start burning, the temperature will be very high. When cooking porridge, you really have to stand by and stir it constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

If the coal balls burn for a short time, less than half an hour, pull out a stone slab under the stove and cover it on top to keep the coal balls from going out all day.

Xiao Han suddenly felt that a poor guy like him who had porridge three times a day and drank a can of porridge all day long could definitely afford fire coal balls.

When the porridge was almost cool and thicker, Xiao Han took out the pickles from the food box and prepared to drink the porridge.

The little bit of salted radish she had bought at the market had long since been eaten. Later, she went to the village head and bought a large bowl of pickled vegetables in the village.

Although we know that eating pickles will definitely accumulate dirt in the body, just like modern young people who know that eating too much snacks and drinks is bad for the body, how many of them can really control their appetite under the temptation of delicious food?

Mortals might have dirt in their bodies from pickles, but that was fine; they could always improve the taste. All she could do was eat as little as possible.

Having just moved into the new cave today, Xiao Han didn’t want to write any manuscripts, so after dinner, he started practicing magic.

Xiao Han felt that since the entanglement technique could refine the spiritual power into a silk thread, the cleaning technique should also be able to refine the spiritual power and do small-scale cleaning.

She began to recall the details of the entanglement spell and the cleaning spell, and tried to apply some of the techniques of the entanglement spell to the cleaning spell.

It was not successful at the beginning, and the cleansing spell could not be performed smoothly at all.

However, after her continuous fusion experiments, she had some clues and the spiritual energy in her body was also exhausted.

So he meditated again to restore his spiritual strength.

Although she could feel the richer spiritual energy inside the cave even without practicing, she truly experienced it after meditating. The feeling of spiritual energy flowing into her body when practicing here and in the mortal village was like the feeling of a moderate rain and a drizzle.

Xiao Han had originally planned to continue studying the cleaning technique after recovering his spiritual power, but he was mesmerized by the feeling of spiritual energy pouring in, so he simply started practicing.

Through this practice, one forgets about day and night.

It was not until I distracted myself and paid attention to the outside world again that I realized there was only a dim light coming through the window.

Only when I woke up from the immersive practice did I feel hungry.

I stood up, opened the door, and looked outside. Only then did I realize that I had been practicing until the next morning.

The spiritual energy accumulated in her body during this practice was equivalent to the total amount she accumulated during seven or eight nights of practice in the mortal village.

This is still the lowest level cave for cultivators. If one could practice in a place with more expensive rent, wouldn’t the speed of accumulating spiritual energy be faster?

Xiao Han decided that the spirit stones he earned in the future would not have to be used for enjoying life, but must be spent on rent.

Rent a more expensive cave and practice faster. With a higher level of cultivation, it will be easier to earn spiritual stones, and you will have more power to protect yourself from being bullied.

After eating some leftover cold porridge from yesterday to fill her stomach, she took the spirit stone and went to find Sister Hu.

Although he was still short of spirit stones, Xiao Han decided to pay off the debt of ten spirit stones first, and then ask about the price of Fireball Technique and Spring Breeze Technique.

Once she has enough spiritual power to cast spells, her life will be much more convenient.

In fact, she also wanted to pay money to Grandma Yuan to learn magic, but Grandma Yuan probably required people to work to pay off debts, and after she got the opportunity to write storybooks, she didn't have much time to work for a long time.

A more important reason was that Xiao Han didn't want to owe Granny Yuan too many favors. It's easy to repay a debt of money, but it's harder to repay a debt of favor. Especially when the two sides' strengths are unequal and he can't help the other party at all.

She herself doesn't like to take advantage of others.

But it’s different with Sister Hu. You can buy on credit and pay her back when you have money later.

Moreover, this kind of transaction is quick and easy, without any psychological burden.

Xiao Han was too poor before and couldn't even afford a communication talisman, so he had no way to contact Sister Hu directly.

Sister Hu once said that if you want to find her, you can leave a message at Xiangji Grocery Store on the street where they first met.

But Xiao Han didn't expect that he was so lucky. He happened to meet Sister Hu who was going to the grocery store to buy things.

When Hu Linghua saw Xiao Han, she enthusiastically asked her how she was doing recently and if she had anything to do.

He was even happier when he learned that Xiao Han came to pay back the debt of ten spirit stones and also wanted to learn new spells.

She took Xiao Han directly to an open space behind a secluded forest away from the main street. She first put ten spirit stones into her pocket and then began to teach her the Spring Breeze and Fireball techniques.

The total tuition for these two spells is thirty spirit stones.

Of course, Xiao Han is still on credit now.

Xiao Han is currently unable to cast any spell, but as long as the total amount of spiritual energy in her body reaches a certain level, she can cast spells at any time.

Hu Linghua taught for half an hour, explaining the casting methods of the two spells in detail several times until Xiao Han remembered them completely.

Finally, he also gave Xiao Han two sound transmission notes that could be used to contact her, so that she could contact him at any time in the future.
