The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Following the talkative Tiezhu forward, Xiao Han finally had a vague understanding of this space.

There are many ghosts living here, and many of them can also practice cultivation. What they absorb is naturally the energy of Yin spirits.

Ghosts also have a lifespan. Ghosts that can practice cultivation can naturally live longer and have powerful magic powers, allowing them to control the life and death of other ghosts at will.

The powerful ghosts here all have their own territories and build cities.

The most powerful ghost is naturally the Ghost King.

Tiezhu only moves around Xifeng City and doesn't know much about the entire world of ghosts.

Fortunately, with this chatterbox around, Xiao Han wasn't completely in the dark.

However, Xiao Han still didn't understand a lot of common sense and could only continue to ask questions.

"Tiezhu, how many years have you spent cultivating to your current level?"

Tie Zhu was stunned. "I don't know how many years it took. I didn't encounter any treasures that could improve my cultivation. I just practiced slowly."

"Then how long do you estimate it will take you to reach the next level of cultivation?"

Tie Zhu pondered for a moment, "It might take a long time to cultivate to the level of a ghost fetus."

After Xiao Han asked around, he finally learned the levels of cultivation of these ghosts.

These ghosts are divided into ghost shadows, ghost souls, ghost fetuses, ghost eyes, and ghost kings.

A ghost without any cultivation is just a ghost. Then it absorbs the Yin spiritual energy, and its soul becomes more solid. A ghost with a certain level of cultivation is a ghost.

The ghost that Xiao Han killed with one sword was probably at the ghost fetus level.

She estimated her own cultivation level. To be able to successfully kill the ghost fetus, she should be at the level of Ghost Eye.

As for the Ghost King, Tiezhu had never seen him and couldn't describe him, and Xiao Han had no way of estimating his strength.

Then, the two of them floated to a city wall built of black stone.

The city wall was not high, only about three meters, with a light black mist floating above it.

Tiezhu said, "The city gate should still be ahead. Let's go that way."

Xiao Han pointed upwards and asked, "Can't we just fly in?"

Tie Zhu said with envy, "Senior should be able to fly in directly, but I don't dare."

Xiao Han didn't dare to reveal that he knew nothing, so he said, "I'll follow you through the city gate."

The two floated forward again and soon arrived at the city gate.

There were three big characters "Xifeng City" carved on the city gate. There were two ghost messengers wearing the same clothes at the gate, each holding a black spear in his hand.

Xiao Han didn't know how to judge the level of their cultivation, but looking at the two people's souls, they were more solid than Tie Zhu's, so their cultivation should be higher.

A ghost officer stretched out his spear and blocked the iron pillar. "Pay the entrance fee."

Tiezhu fumbled in his sleeve for a while, pulled out a pitch-black weed, and handed it to the ghost.

The ghost checked it and said with a bit of disdain: "It's barely acceptable. Forget it, I'll let you in."

Xiao Han at the back was a little worried. Where could she get these weird things?

Or, how about borrowing some from Tiezhu?

Just as she was thinking about it, the two ghost messengers saw Xiao Han behind Tie Zhu and immediately bowed together, "Greetings, Senior!"

Xiao Han: I wonder if you need to pay the entrance fee?

She hummed haughtily, then tried to float inside with a swagger.

As expected, the two ghost officials did not intercept him.

Tie Zhu floated to Xiao Han's side and said with envy, "It would be great if I could be like you, the senior, and not have to pay for anything wherever I go."

Xiao Han: "What kind of grass was that you gave them just now?"

Tie Zhu: "It's just a very low-level spiritual herb. I can't find anything good. I haven't found many such low-level spiritual herbs."

Xiao Han: "Take one out and show it to me."

Tiezhu hurriedly took out another pitch-black weed from his sleeve pocket.

Xiao Han looked carefully and found that the grass contained extremely thin Yin spiritual energy.

She understood instantly that the treasures these ghosts needed should be items containing Yin spiritual energy.

Oh, I picked so many Yinling grass in my storage bracelet, it should be worth a lot of money.

Thinking of this, she took out a Yinling grass and handed it to Tiezhu, "Take a look at this, what do you think of mine?"

When Tiezhu saw it, his eyes lit up immediately and his mouth was about to drool. He couldn't move his eyes away and murmured, "Treasure, treasure!"

Xiao Han handed the two herbs in his hand to Tie Zhu, "I feel that you and I are destined to be together, so I'll give this spiritual herb to you."

Tie Zhu immediately took it over excitedly, and kept bowing to Xiao Han, "Thank you, senior, thank you, senior! With this treasure, I will definitely be able to cultivate to the ghost fetus realm very quickly."

After he put away the spiritual herbs, the two continued to float forward.

Xiao Han saw the low, dark stone houses in the city and asked Tie Zhu, "What's in there?"

Her spiritual sense was not as useful as her eyes in this ghost world and could not detect anything.

Tiezhu looked at her in surprise, "Senior, don't you know?"

Xiao Han: "I have been practicing in the mountains. This is the first time I have come out and entered the city."

Tie Zhu suddenly realized, "These are all ghosts who have reached a certain level of cultivation. Only those with money can rent these houses. I heard that practicing in them can help one's cultivation level improve faster."

Xiao Han: In the world of ghosts, if you don’t have money, you still can’t even afford a house to live in.

There weren't many ghosts floating around on the street, making it seem quite deserted.

Tie Zhu said, "Everyone should have gone to the City Lord's Mansion. Let's go there quickly."

Xiao Han followed him and came to a taller stone house.

Many ghosts have gathered here, gathered in groups of three or four, and talked in low voices.

Then, Xiao Han saw Tiezhu float to a small group and start talking to them in a few words.

After listening to their conversation, Xiao Han realized that these ghosts gathered here to wait for the boss of Xifeng City, whom they called Lord Luo, to reward them.

At this time, a ghost was not floating, but was striding towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with his head held high.

The ghosts gathered outside all looked at him with envy on their faces.

Xiao Han took a look and thought that this ghost should be in the ghost fetus realm.

Tie Zhu floated back to Xiao Han and asked quietly, "Senior, aren't you going in to give us a gift?"

Xiao Han thought, I can't eat at the banquet even if I gave a gift. What if this old man Luo prepares a table full of ghost food to entertain the guests? Wouldn't I be exposed?

She pretended to be disdainful and said, "I don't know him well, why should I give him a gift?"

Tiezhu was suddenly speechless.

The other ghosts nearby finally noticed Xiao Han. Sensing that she had no death energy, only pure Yin spirit energy, they all bowed to her with a look of fear on their faces.

The commotion here finally alarmed the guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

One of the guards hurried over and bowed to Xiao Han, "Greetings, Senior. Please come in!"

Xiao Han: I just want to watch the fun quietly.

Forget it. If I continue to stay here, I will attract too much attention. No, I will attract the attention of ghosts.

Xiao Han had no choice but to follow the guard and float into the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

As for the banquet and other matters, we’ll see how things develop.
