The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner
Chapter 65: Writing a Heroine Story
Grandma Yuan is now in retirement. She used to cultivate the orchard with great care, but now she hires people to do it and never does it herself.
Anyway, it’s just less income.
With food and drink, a stable source of income, and savings, Grandma Yuan's life is really comfortable except for the lack of entertainment.
When she was young, she loved reading storybooks, but after reading so many, she found that many stories were the same and lacked novelty, and she gradually got tired of them. Now that Xiao Han had written a different storybook, her fascination with stories was rekindled, so she asked Xiao Han to write a novel with a strong female protagonist.
Xiao Han was overjoyed at Granny Yuan's request and immediately agreed. "No problem. Stories with female protagonists are my favorite. I only write stories with male protagonists out of necessity, forced by the spirit stones. If you want to read it, I'll start writing the draft immediately. If you think it's good, I'll sell it to bookstores."
In fact, Long Aotian and Feng Aotian follow the same routine. They both have constant opportunities, upgrade like a rocket, are the best in the industry in whatever skills they learn, and are surrounded by beautiful women (and handsome men).
The difference is that Feng Aotian doesn't think about saving the world or being the only one who matters. Long Aotian will take all the women who love and admire him into his harem, while Feng Aotian will marry a man who is more powerful than her, leaving the other male supporting characters with nothing but sadness and regret.
Xiao Han is a woman after all. Due to different concepts, there is no sense of immersion when writing about Long Ao Tianwen. Especially the male protagonist's inner thoughts and emotional scenes are always stiff.
Writing about Feng Ao Tianwen is different, as I can handle the details better. Anyway, I have read many stories with strong female protagonists, so I don’t worry about running out of writing ideas.
Seeing that Xiao Han agreed, Granny Yuan did not hesitate and took her into the main room and began to teach her some low-level rejuvenation techniques.
Rejuvenation is a healing spell that requires the caster to possess a Wood spiritual root. Wood spiritual energy is vital and allows the recipient to receive healing energy.
In reality, spiritual energy is like water: it can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Spiritual energy can be transformed into a deadly flying blade technique or a rejuvenating technique that saves lives, depending on how the cultivator utilizes it.
Low-level rejuvenation techniques, like the one Jiang Yaohua used on Xiao Han, help relieve fatigue, stimulate the body's potential, and heal minor wounds. More advanced techniques can stop bleeding from larger wounds and accelerate wound healing. Even more advanced techniques, in addition to directly healing wounds, can also treat internal injuries.
With Xiao Han's current level of cultivation, he can only learn the most basic parts, which can quickly relieve fatigue for himself or others, improve energy and spirit, and promote wound healing.
After teaching the Rejuvenation Technique, Granny Yuan said, "As for other offensive spells, wait until your cultivation becomes more solid and profound before you can learn them. When you do, not only will I charge you a hefty tuition fee, but you'll also have to swear not to teach these spells to anyone else."
Independent cultivators are not like those family members or sect disciples. They are all independent and in the struggle for cultivation resources, anyone can become their enemy.
Offensive spells were their weapons against others, their life-saving trump cards. In this situation, no one wanted to know that others also knew the offensive spells they knew, and even less did they want to know that one day, the spells others used against them were actually the ones they had passed on.
It is also for this reason that each of the independent cultivators in Fuyuan City does not master many types of offensive spells, and they cannot be learned by paying a fee with spirit stones.
Xiao Han was able to master each spell smoothly, except for a few spells that were auxiliary spells and were already so common that they had no value in keeping secret. More importantly, she met the right person.
Although Hu Linghua was a small contractor, her daily income of spirit stones wasn't very high. Teaching Xiao Han these basic auxiliary spells would be enough to cover her entire day's income in just half an hour, so why not?
As for her agreement to teach Xiao Han the only offensive spell she mastered, that was also something she had thought carefully about.
Since she wasn't planning on becoming a hunting monk, and monks weren't allowed to fight within the city, the offensive spells she possessed weren't really that useful. Furthermore, the Wind Blade technique she possessed wasn't a particularly rare offensive spell; it had almost become commonplace.
That's why she thought that after Xiao Han upgraded to the second level of Qi training, she would charge a tuition fee of 200 spirit stones to make some money.
Xiao Han didn't know what kind of offensive spells Grandma Yuan would teach her, nor did she know what kind of offensive spells Hu Linghua would teach her. The reason she came to Grandma Yuan first was simply because she was very kind to her, and she hoped that Grandma Yuan would earn the tuition.
Even if it was the same spell, Granny Yuan charged more than Sister Hu, she was willing to do so, just as a way of repaying Granny Yuan's favor.
But from the current perspective, she still owes a favor to Grandma Yuan.
Since Grandma Yuan said that she would teach her offensive spells after a while, Xiao Han decided to wait patiently.
Qian Wanshan hadn't sent her a message asking her to write a new novel yet, so Xiao Han decided to go back and write a novel with a female protagonist first, to satisfy Grandma Yuan's wish. She also wanted to test the market for female protagonist novels.
So Xiao Han, who was originally planning to find a temporary job to earn money, started his professional writing career again.
My hands are sore from writing, so I'll do some rejuvenation. My brain is tired, so I'll water the potted spiritual vegetables and move them outside, cover them with a transparent glass cover, and let them bask in the sun.
At night, he still patiently refined the spiritual energy over and over again, like Yugong moving the mountain, digging away the barrier of nothingness that prevented the storage of spiritual energy bit by bit.
Just as she was nearing the end of her heroine-themed novel, Qian Wanshan finally sent a note, saying that many readers of Wandering in Different Time and Space had been asking him when the new book would be released. He felt that the appetite had been whetted enough, and it was time for the third new book, so he asked Xiao Han and his sister to write the beginning as soon as possible.
Xiao Han is now transcribing as she writes. She originally planned to wait until she finished writing the finale before sending it to Grandma Yuan to read.
Since Qian Wanshan was asking for the manuscript, she decided to show what she had written to Grandma Yuan first. If Grandma Yuan liked it, she would take it to negotiate with Qian Wanshan and change the pen name to publish the heroine storybook.
Xiao Han's novel with a female protagonist is about a female cultivator with five spiritual roots. Although she was lucky enough to enter the sect, she could only be assigned to the outer sect as a menial disciple because of her poor spiritual roots.
However, she accidentally obtained an ancient treasure that contained the remnant soul of a powerful being. Later, under the guidance of this powerful remnant soul, she learned that she actually had a chaotic constitution and also learned the correct method of cultivation.
Later, her cultivation level naturally rose rapidly, and she mastered the four major skills of Danfu, Qizhen, and Zhen. She was invincible in her level and could fight against opponents of higher levels when necessary. Excellent men admired her, and vicious female supporting characters made things difficult for her. These classic plots from ancient novels were of course indispensable.
Xiao Ha remembers when she first entered society as a working girl, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and her biggest hobby after get off work was to read this type of online novels.
As she spent more time in society, grew older, and became more mature and rational, she began to become more and more picky about the novels she read, and no longer liked those old-fashioned routine novels. However, the new routine novels still trapped her, and she read a lot of them.
Now when writing novels in this different time and space, of course I have to do it step by step. I will first write a few books with the old routine style, and then slowly upgrade them later.
I have to say that Granny Yuan, who had never read this kind of cliché novel with a female protagonist, was more fascinated by it than Long Ao Tianwen.
When Xiao Han stopped writing the novel when the powerful man's remaining soul was resurrected by the heroine to rebuild his body and turned into a perfect man with extraordinary cultivation and handsomeness, the centenarian Granny Yuan turned into a little fan of the book and frantically urged Xiao Han to write the ending as soon as possible.
