The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

A male cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, who was a bit short and fat, stood up first and walked to the center of the platform.

He bowed to Pei Jingshu and said, "Master Pei, I am Ma Ming. I may not look very outstanding, but I value friendship and loyalty. If I become a Taoist partner with Master Pei, I will definitely love and protect you wholeheartedly and safeguard the Pei family."

All cultivators knew that the main reason why Patriarch Pei chose a husband this time was to fight against the Yun family.

Therefore, Ma Ming is also a smart man. He made his position clear from the beginning.

Pei Jingshu returned the greeting, "Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Ma. Please stand here for a while."

With someone taking the lead, the other male cultivators who were interested no longer had any reservations. They walked to the center of the platform and began to introduce themselves to Pei Jingshu and express their determination.

Xie Yi did not move, but started to transmit his message to Pei Jingshu directly.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, your choice of husband this time is, to put it bluntly, nothing more than an exchange of interests. If that's the case, why not just make a deal directly? Why do you have to become Daoist companions?"

Xie Yi had too many female confidantes, and he was a little worried that if they became a Taoist couple, Pei Jingshu would quarrel with him over these things. When it came to dual cultivation, Xie Yi insisted on mutual consent.

If anyone feels unhappy or dissatisfied, just break up. There is no need to quarrel.

An Fengyao in the fairy mountain of the small world wanted to monopolize Xie Yi and not allow him to get close to other women. Xie Yi didn't want to, and ended up being imprisoned by her.

Xie Yi doesn't want this to happen again.

Pei Jingshu looked towards the guest area following the voice and saw Xie Yi looking at her with a smile.

Although she had long ago secretly surveyed all the male cultivators in the guest area and had naturally spotted the handsome Xie Yi, she had to admit that her heartbeat quickened when Xie Yi's eyes, seemingly filled with bewitching charm, looked at her.

Pei Jingshu replied in a voice transmission: "Fellow Daoist, you may not know that disputes between families like this generally cannot be solved by asking outsiders for help. After all, outsiders can only help temporarily. The overall strength of a family is the most important.

Although the husband chosen through this exchange of interests may not be truly affectionate, it can at least enhance the strength of the entire family."

Xie Yi continued, "I've had many close female friends. Would you mind if I became your Taoist partner?"

Pei Jingshu stared at Xie Yi for a few more seconds, then suddenly asked, "Did you participate in the war against the alien monsters? And did you win first place in the Nascent Soul Heaven Ranking competition held by the coalition forces at that time?"

Xie Yi gently waved his folding fan and replied nonchalantly, "Yes, it is me."

The slight hesitation Pei Jingshu had previously felt suddenly disappeared.

Ever since the video of Xie Yi fighting against alien monsters in a dashing manner was posted by Xiao Han in the coalition military newspaper jade slip, Xie Yi has left a deep impression on many female cultivators.

At that time, Pei Jingshu was also attracted by Xie Yi's charm, and then began to pay attention to the coalition of monks and inquire about all of Xie Yi's personal information.

Xie Yi won the first place in the Alliance Nascent Soul Cultivator Ranking, but this made her and her friends talk about it for a long time.

However, Xie Yi didn't stay in the military camp for too long, and he disappeared after leaving the camp.

Pei Jingshu couldn't get any news about Xie Yi, so she gradually put him out of her mind.

Now, a hundred or two hundred years have passed, and Pei Jingshu has long forgotten Xie Yi.

It was only when I saw the peach blossoms on the folding fan just now that I suddenly remembered it.

When Xie Yi was in the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to stand out among the army of cultivators who were full of masters, which shows that his combat ability was definitely very strong.

So, she had to choose a male cultivator who was useful to the family and had super strong combat ability, which would be a huge advantage.

What's more, this man was the male cultivator she had been infatuated with many years ago.

To allay Xie Yi's concerns, Pei Jingshu immediately said, "It's great that Fellow Daoist Xie was honest upfront. As long as Fellow Daoist Xie promises not to flirt with other female cultivators while our Daoist partnership remains intact, then even if Fellow Daoist Xie wants to leave the Pei family after a hundred years, that's perfectly fine."

Pei Jingshu felt that with her abilities, she would definitely be able to make Xie Yi fall in love with her within a hundred years, and then become inseparable from her, and be willing to sincerely protect the Pei family.

The other party offered such generous conditions. If Xie Yi still didn't agree, he wouldn't be Xie Yi.

The two of them finished their discussion via voice communication, so Xie Yi stood up without hesitation and walked to the center of the platform.

At this time, fifty or sixty male cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage were already standing in the center of the platform. Some male cultivators sat motionless in the guest seats. Some of them had no intention of attending and were just there to watch the fun, or they felt it was too embarrassing to stand in the center of the platform and let Pei Jingshu choose them, so they didn't want to stand there.

Xiao Han was so excited in front of the crowd that it felt like he was watching a large-scale dating talent show.

Although Pei Jingshu had already chosen Xie Yi in her heart, she still had to go through the motions. She didn't want the other cultivators standing on the platform to feel uninvolved and then feel resentful.

Pei Jingshu followed the pre-arranged procedure and said to the group of eager-eyed male cultivators, "Fellow Daoists who are no more than a thousand years old, please stand in the front row."

Although she didn't know Xie Yi's real age, based on her intuition, she felt that Xie Yi should be no more than a thousand years old.

Pei Jingshu's words directly eliminated two-thirds of the cultivators.

After all, as a casual cultivator, not everyone is like Xiao Han and Xie Yi, who have good luck and can easily pass each level.

A cultivator who was over a thousand years old but already in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm said with dissatisfaction, "Patriarch Pei should have chosen someone with greater strength, rather than focusing on age."

Pei Jingshu blinked her clear eyes and said innocently, "So many fellow Taoists have come to participate in the election, but Jingshu is the only one, so there must be some elimination criteria. I want to choose a husband who is both young and has good cultivation. Is this a good idea?"

When the Jindan cultivator saw that there were five or six Jindan mid-stage cultivators standing in the front row, he was suddenly choked and speechless.

Then, Pei Jingshu simply followed this line of talk and didn't care about the appearance of the six male cultivators in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the front row. She simply circled these people and put them under soundproofing restrictions one by one and questioned them.

Even Xie Yi pretended to ask a few questions privately.

After asking, in front of everyone, Pei Jingshu pointed at Xie Yi and said, "The husband I have chosen is him."

In fact, after seeing Xie Yi, who is handsome and in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, many male cultivators think that Pei Jingshu should choose him.

Seeing that this was indeed the case, these people didn't feel much lost.

But with so many people, not everyone is willing to do so.

A male cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm said indignantly, "Not only am I under a thousand years old, but I'm already in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Why didn't you choose me? Are you ignoring the Pei family's interests just for his good looks?"

Pei Jingshu said calmly, "Fellow Daoist is already in the late stage of Spiritual Transformation. My gift of cultivation is of little use to you. In that case, I will not choose you."

At this time, Ma Ming couldn't help but say, "I also think that Patriarch Pei should prioritize the interests of the family rather than this useless skin. I want to challenge this fellow Taoist. If I can defeat him, I wonder if Patriarch Pei can choose me again?"
