The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

This was Xiao Han's first time entering a shop selling magical instruments.

In the past, when she saw a shop selling magical instruments on the street, she didn't even have the courage to go in and take a look due to her nascent cultivation level and her extremely poor family background.

In order to successfully complete the water hemp task today, she finally plucked up the courage to walk into the store.

The shop owner didn't look down on her, but he wasn't very enthusiastic either. He asked lazily, "What kind of magic weapon do you want to buy?"

Xiao Han didn't pretend and said directly, "I want to buy a magical tool similar to a fishing net, which can stop fish, frogs, snakes and other low-level monsters with some cultivation. Uh, it doesn't matter if it's not a magical tool, just the cheapest one that can stop these things at the beginning."

Anyway, as long as it blocked her, she could cast the Entanglement spell to bind it. Even if it was only bound for a few breaths, she could kill it with her sickle.

The shop owner was a middle-aged cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training. He took out an item and said, "I only sell magical instruments here. This one is very cheap and would suit your needs. Take a look."

After saying this, he activated his spiritual power and activated a metal spherical object.

One end of the sphere blossomed like a lotus petal, and then a ball of mesh silk threads spread out like a spread out fishing net, and then the silk net quickly closed again.

The shop owner said with some pride, "Well, this magic weapon meets your requirements. It can be used not only to catch spirit fish, but also to catch other small monsters. It can also restrain them in an instant."

Xiao Han was jealous and asked casually, "How many spirit stones does this magic weapon cost?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "You don't seem to be a wealthy person, so I won't come here for nothing. I'll give you 150 spirit stones. I won't make any money from you, but just consider it a good relationship."

Xiao Han: She shouldn't have been so optimistic.

As long as it is a magical weapon, how could I possibly be able to afford it right now?

"Well, uh, I don't have that many spirit stones, so forget it."

"Then how much is the most you can offer?" the shop owner asked somewhat unwillingly.

Xiao Han said a little embarrassedly: "It's very little. I can't afford it. Sorry to bother you." With her family's little money, how could she dare to bargain? She would be beaten to death.

After saying that, she hurriedly turned and left the shop, leaving the owner alone holding the ball, shaking his head and sighing.

In fact, as soon as she came in, the owner saw that her cultivation was so low and the only thing she had on her was a pair of old shoes worth a few spirit stones, so he knew that she was not a rich cultivator.

However, he didn't expect Xiao Han to be so poor.

Xiao Han left the shop, filled with regret. Where on earth did she get the courage to come to a magic tool store with only a dozen spirit stones in her pocket? How was this any different from her modern working girl, earning a few thousand a month, shopping in a luxury goods store?

Forget it, don’t even think about grabbing some meat to improve your life. It would be more practical to just go to the grocery store and buy a pair of waders.

I found a grocery store with the largest storefront and walked in.

The shop owner was a young female cultivator. When she saw Xiao Han come in, she greeted him with a friendly smile, "What would you like to buy?"

Xiao Han asked, "Are there any special clothes that can be worn in shallow water areas of lakes or swamps without getting soaked?"

The young female shop owner took a look at her cultivation and attire, and had an idea in her mind. She immediately took out two things to show her.

"This one is made of monster hide. It's not only waterproof, but can also resist a certain degree of magical attacks. As for this one made of ordinary animal hide, it's only waterproof and can't resist any magical attacks."

Xiao Han took a look and found that the two items were similar in style, both were jumpsuits with the waistband reaching directly to the armpit area, and then tightened with a belt-like strap connected to the trouser leg.

"How much are they?" Xiao Han asked.

The shop owner said, "This monster hide costs fifty-five spirit stones, while this ordinary hide only costs five spirit stones."

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately chose ordinary animal skin waders without hesitation.

There is no way, the poor can only use cheap products of poor quality.

The next morning, Xiao Han started heading towards the wilderness with the two spiritual buns he had bought.

Of course, she was not searching aimlessly. Grandma Yuan had once told her where water hemp might be found, so she just had to follow the route on the map.

This time, Xiao Han also prepared two lightening talismans for himself. Lightening talismans weren't just for speed; they also served as a helpful escape aid when encountering an invincible monster. A rookie like Xiao Han, no matter how broke, always had to have a lightening talisman handy for escaping.

Of course, in order to save a little money, Xiao Han still relied on his legs when he went there. However, he poured his spiritual power into his legs, which made him walk very fast.

After walking for more than half an hour, we gradually entered a deserted area. There were no paths around, only weeds and bushes.

Xiao Han immediately changed into waders to protect herself from snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the bushes. She was especially afraid of stepping on snakes, even ordinary ones. Therefore, her legs moved at a speed similar to Liu Xiang's hurdles. Whenever she encountered a bush, she would swiftly leap over it without stopping.

When passing a small river, I looked around and found that there were only weeds more than a foot deep on both sides of the river, and there was no sign of water hemp. Without delay, I continued to head towards my destination.

After she nervously walked through a dense forest, she finally saw the lake behind the forest.

The lake covers an area of about several dozen acres, and is surrounded by some water hemp grass growing sparsely or densely.

Xiao Han was delighted, she had finally reached her destination. Now she just hoped that among these water hemp plants, there would be many that contained spiritual energy.

After calming his breath a little, he immediately poured his spiritual power into his eyes and began to look at the water hemp grass closest to him.

When Xiao Han saw the tiny specks of water hemp grass with a faint spiritual glow mixed in, he was overjoyed.

This means that the water hemp grass on the edge of the lake has not been visited by other monks.

The water hemp grass is almost as tall as her. Just a few of them can weigh one kilogram. With such a large area, at least a hundred kilograms can be found.

Oh my god, this is not faster than making money by writing storybooks myself.

Xiao Han now only regretted that he didn't have a storage bag and that he would have to carry the water hemp grass on his back on the journey later.

He concentrated and sensed his surroundings, but did not find any spiritual pressure, which meant that there should be no other spiritual creatures with cultivation within ten feet around him.

Only then did she carefully walk into the water to harvest the spiritual water hemp grass.

Soon, my left hand could no longer hold on.

She held a sickle in her right hand and a handful of water hemp in her left, preparing to go ashore.

At this moment, there was a "dong" sound of water, which scared Xiao Han, who was extremely nervous, so much that he threw away the water hemp grass and looked in the direction of the sound.
