The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Granny Yuan glanced at Xiao Han and asked, "Do you have any wood spiritual roots?"

Xiao Han nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I just don't have water spirit roots, so it's a little troublesome to perform the Spring Breeze Rain technique."

Granny Yuan immediately clicked her tongue and said, "So, you have four spiritual roots."

Thinking of how actively Xiao Han had cultivated when he was with her, she had assumed that he had good spiritual roots, but had just started late. She then considered that she still had three spiritual roots, and their purity was excellent. With her current aptitude, she had only reached the peak of Qi training and still had no hope of building a foundation.

I wanted to dampen Xiao Han's enthusiasm, but I swallowed my words. Forget it. With so many cultivators in Fuyuan City, how many could successfully establish their foundation? Everyone struggles in the Qi training stage their entire lives.

People always have to have a goal to pursue in life. Since the little girl is practicing hard and wants to learn more magic, let her learn it. After all, it’s not you who is living such a hard life.

Granny Yuan then continued, "Low-level rejuvenation techniques require at least the second level of Qi training to be performed, and advanced rejuvenation techniques require at least the fifth level of Qi training to be performed. Once your cultivation level has improved, we can talk about learning."

Xiao Han was immediately discouraged. Sigh! After all, too low a cultivation level was a fatal flaw that could not be overcome.

After returning home, I took the changed waders to the grocery store where I had bought them.

It was the same young female shop owner. When she saw Xiao Han coming in with a pair of waders, she asked in surprise, "Sir, what are you doing...?"

Xiao Han said a little embarrassedly, "I want to ask, where can I repair this hole? My waders were attacked by a water dart frog, and there's a hole in them."

The female shop owner took the pants, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Why don't you buy a pair made of monster hide? If you wear monster hide water pants, you can defend yourself against even the most powerful water arrow frog."

Xiao Han thought to himself, do you think I don’t want to buy it? But I’m not short of money.

Although I have accumulated some spirit stones now, I still have a lot of debts. Even if I don't pay off the debts, I can't spend the spirit stones on waders that are of little use for the time being.

She asked directly: "So, these water pants can't be repaired?"

Seeing that she had no intention of buying the monster leather pants, the female shop owner had no choice but to say, "It's not that it can't be repaired, but it will cost a small fee."

"How much?" Xiao Han asked.

The female shop owner said, "Fifty spirit beads."

Xiao Han frowned immediately. This pair of pants only cost five spirit stones, or five hundred spirit beads. Repairing a hole the size of a fingernail would cost one tenth of that. This charge was a bit high.

However, these waders were no different from other clothing; they had to be waterproof after repair. Therefore, Xiao Han could only honestly pay for the repairs.

I paid fifty spirit beads, left the waders here, and agreed to pick them up tomorrow morning.

As soon as I walked out of the store, I received a sound transmission note from Qian Wanshan, the owner of the bookstore.

The content of the note was naturally about asking about the progress of Xiao Han's new book, and stated that he would sign a contract for the second book at a high price.

Xiao Han was still immersed in the joy of earning fifty or sixty spirit stones a day harvesting spiritual water hemp grass, and had no intention of writing a storybook at the moment. Besides, since Qian Wanshan was urging him to finish it, it meant that his first book had made him a huge profit, and he really needed me to continue to generate income for him.

Then why don't you whet his appetite so that he has to quote a higher price to attract you?

Therefore, Xiao Han sent a sound transmission note to Qian Wanshan, saying that the money earned from writing storybooks was too little and not cost-effective, and he planned to do other work to earn spirit stones.

Then, before Xiao Han could walk back to his cave, Qian Wanshan's sound transmission note arrived again.

This time, Qian Wanshan directly stated in the sound transmission note that as long as the beginning of the new storyline could attract him, he was willing to sign a contract at the price of 300 spirit stones per copy.

I have to say, this price made Xiao Han excited.

Harvesting water hemp grass made money, but that required finding it. Besides, after the lesson with the water arrow frog, she was actually worried about encountering another powerful monster again.

The main reason was that she was too weak right now. Without any means of attack or defensive robes, if she couldn't escape, she would be no different from meat on the chopping block.

If I could earn another 300 spirit stones, I could save some money to pay Jiang Yaohua back.

So, Xiao Han sent back a sound transmission note, saying that he and his sister would write the first 50,000 words of the second storybook as soon as possible.

After returning to his cave, Xiao Han saw that it was still early and decided to work out the outline of the second storyline first.

This time, Xiao Han decided to write a story about a son-in-law disguised as a story about cultivating immortals.

The protagonist is a son-in-law of a small immortal cultivation family. Due to some special reasons, he cannot reveal his identity. He is blamed by his wife, ridiculed by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and humiliated by others.

On the day he was kicked out of the house, a Jindan-stage cultivator appeared and called the son-in-law "young master" and revealed his true identity. It turned out that this despised son-in-law was actually the young master of a hidden family.

The complicated feelings of his ex-wife, the shocked faces of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the inner anxiety of those who mocked and bullied him, the first wave of refreshing and face-slapping plots appeared.

Xiao Han believed that few men could resist reading these formulaic and exciting novels. After all, these formulas had been tested by countless male online readers.

As for men, what they like is the same as ever.

When Xiao Han read online novels in modern times, he read both male and female versions, but he read more female versions, while for male versions, he only read the popular ones.

Therefore, there is no shortage of materials for writing stories in this different time and space.

However, what bothered her most was her slow handwriting. She still used a homemade goose feather pen, which required dipping it in ink after every few words, a real hassle. And after finishing a novel, the handful of goose feathers she had brought from Lingyun City were all used up.

In the past, she had to save every spirit bead, so she had to write with a quill pen. Now that she had more money, she decided to upgrade her weapons to save herself more time.

Let's do this tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Han went to the grocery store to retrieve her repaired waders and decided to go to the lake again. After all, she hadn't harvested the spiritual water hemp grass near the emerald-feathered brocade bird's nest yet.

Now that two days have passed, I guess the other emerald-feathered bird won't still be guarding there.

When she got to the lake, it was just as she had imagined. The lakeside was quiet and there was no sign of the emerald-feathered bird.

Xiao Han was worried, so he pulled out the spiritual thread and grabbed a piece of water hemp, shaking it left and right.

Despite all the noise, no birds or frogs appeared. She then went into the water with confidence and harvested the small patch of spiritual water hemp grass that had been missed.

I weighed the harvest and it was about eight or nine kilograms.

Xiao Han was very satisfied. This little bit of spiritual water and hemp grass could provide her with a place to live this month.
