The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Shui Wuhen stood there calmly, waiting for the demon cultivators to gather.

After more demon cultivators gathered around, he finally spoke: "The first rule of any immortal city is that you cannot fight in the city. I believe that Fellow Daoist Turtle has also established this rule for everyone.

Since this fellow Leopard didn't follow the rules, he must pay the price. Considering the harm you caused was minor, I will only punish you by having you guard the teahouse entrance for one hour."

A great demon in the realm of refining emptiness, transformed into his original form and was watched by everyone at the door of the teahouse. This made him feel more uncomfortable than beating him up.

The Nascent Soul demon cultivator from the Leopard Clan who had been chasing them wanted to incite the others to a confrontation, so he shouted, "You're a human cultivator. What gives you the right to show off your might in our demon clan's territory? This is Lord Turtle's Immortal City, not a city for human cultivators."

Shui Wuhen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly, "Because I am a Mahayana cultivator!"

With just one sentence, all the demon cultivators who had just felt a hint of resentment after being incited lost their temper.

Although their demon clan also has Mahayana cultivators, there is only one Mahayana cultivator in the demon clan, while there are three Mahayana cultivators in the human clan.

The Demon King would definitely not fight against the human Mahayana cultivators for such a small matter.

At this moment, the Fire Cloud Leopard lying on the ground suddenly scolded its descendants harshly: "If you don't get out of here, I will kick you out of the tribe."

The Nascent Soul Leopard Demon left the crowd with a look of guilt. Shui Wuhen had achieved his goal of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, and turned to walk into the teahouse.

Then, Xiao Han, who was originally mixed in with the demon cultivators to watch the fun, suddenly heard Shui Wuhen's voice, "Come in!"

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then walked around the Fire Cloud Leopard and entered the teahouse.

Seeing Shui Wuhen going upstairs, she hurriedly followed him.

Shui Wuhen sat down in the private room on the second floor. Xiao Han walked in and bowed, "Greetings, Senior!"

"Please sit down." Shui Wuhen pointed to the seat opposite.

Xiao Han sat down without hesitation.

The foundation-building cultivator of the Shui family came up with great tact to pour tea for the two of them. The tea he brewed was naturally the Golden Jade Dew that Shui Wuhen often drank.

After he went down, Shui Wuhen asked, "Why did you come to the depths of the Myriad Demons Mountains?"

Xiao Han talked about his two most difficult things, and Shui Wuhen pondered and said, "A natural treasure that can extend one's life by more than a hundred years can probably only be found in those high-level secret realms.

As for the starlings..."

He glanced at Badou, who was squatting on Xiao Han's shoulder, and changed his voice transmission to say, "There is a very special place in the Myriad Demons Mountains. The spiritual energy there is rich, but inside it is a natural illusion array. This illusion array is very special, a bit like the Path of Self-Reflection. As long as one can pass the illusion array test, perhaps he can break through to the tenth level."

After a pause, he continued in a voice transmission, "It would be more effective if he entered this place without any psychological preparation. That's why I didn't let him hear it."

Xiao Han nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked, "Where is that place?"

Shui Wuhen said: "I'll take you there tomorrow."

Xiao Han immediately thanked him repeatedly, but Shui Wuhen said, "You need to think carefully. If you can't get through this illusion, it might perish."

"Ah!" Xiao Han screamed and immediately fell into confusion.

Croton has never suffered any hardship or been tempered, so the chances of it passing the test of the illusion array must be very low. Should she send it in?

If Badou died in there, she would definitely regret it. After all, it was not necessary for her to go in.

Shui Wuhen saw that she was conflicted and in trouble, and he didn't understand why she treasured this useless bird so much.

After thinking for a moment, he comforted her, "No one knows what the test given by the illusion array is. Maybe it can pass it."

Xiao Han suddenly asked, "Can you tell how much life it has left? If not, I'll wait a little longer until its lifespan is almost exhausted, and then I'll take another gamble."

Shui Wuhen shook his head, "I can't sense this, maybe the Demon King Zhu Ling can."

The demon king Zhu Ling is not only a demon, but also a bird. He should be able to tell how much life span Croton has left.

"How about I take you to see her tomorrow?"

Xiao Han suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Is this too much trouble?"

Xiao Han felt a little guilty for making two Mahayana monks trouble for a stupid ninth-level bird.

Shui Wuhen picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's okay. Next time I use you, I'll feel more at ease."

Xiao Han was so choked that he couldn't even utter any words of thanks.

The inn in this demon cultivator city was also owned by the Shui family. It could be said that all shops selling human goods, as well as teahouses and inns, were owned by the Shui family, with only hired demon cultivators to run the shops.

With the support of Shui Wuhen, the Shui family is the only one in the area and has made a fortune.

The old monk personally sent Xiao Han to the inn and refused to charge Xiao Han for accommodation.

He didn't expect that what Xiao Han said was true. Looking at the look on the face of his own Grand Patriarch, he treated her as an equal friend. How could he dare not disrespect her?

The next day, Shui Wuhen brought Xiao Han and used the secret technique of shrinking the earth into an inch. They quickly arrived at the center of the Wan Yao Mountains, the territory of the Suzaku clan.

On the tall sycamore trees are huge bird nests that can be called small houses.

There are no phoenixes in the Yuantian Continent. The Vermillion Bird is the closest divine bird to the phoenix, and the trees they live in are naturally the paulownia trees.

After transforming, Suzaku will no longer live in trees.

Their houses are all magnificent palace-style buildings and look very grand.

Especially the palace where the demon king Zhu Ling lives is even taller and more majestic.

Sensing Shui Wuhen coming, Zhu Ling personally flew high into the sky to greet him.

"Friend Shui, how are you? How did you find time to come to my place today?"

Shui Wuhen bowed and said, "I have a small matter and need to trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Zhu Ling glanced at Xiao Han, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then go sit down and talk in detail."

Xiao Han also bowed deeply and greeted Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling brought the two men into the main hall and asked the clansmen to serve them tea. The two exchanged a few words of greeting before Shui Wuhen explained his purpose.

Xiao Han hurriedly took out the croton from the spirit beast bag.

As soon as Badou emerged, he saw the Demon King standing right before him. Without a second thought, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Demon King, for the treasure you gave me. Thank you, Demon King, for the treasure you gave me."

Zhu Ling smiled and said, "I don't have any treasures to give you this time, and you can't improve by relying on treasures."

She truly felt that this starling was extremely lucky. It had such a low bloodline, little fighting power, and was of no help at all, yet it had a master who treated it very well.

A demonic spiritual power enveloped the Croton, and Zhu Ling examined it carefully.

After a moment, she said, "It still has ten years to live."

"What, there are only ten years left?" Xiao Han was shocked.

"But it's only been alive for over four hundred years. Does it only have ten years left?"

Zhu Ling explained, "The lifespans of our demon race are all limited by our original bodies. Unlike human cultivators, whose lifespans are roughly the same within the same cultivation realm, demon beasts within the same realm have different original bodies and thus different lifespans."

Xiao Han understood and couldn't help but sigh: "Looks like I still have to take a gamble."
