The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The palace maid lifted her skirt and hurriedly trotted to the back of the palace.

The queen of the Great Zhao Kingdom did not live in a palace reserved for queens, but lived in a forbidden area in the backyard of the imperial palace.

This place covers a large area and has a palace wall that is more than two meters high.

It is said that the queen received guidance from immortals and was able to practice cultivation, so she has been living in a forbidden area to practice and is not allowed to be disturbed unless it is an important matter.

The palace maid came to the gate of the forbidden area and slapped the copper ring on it hard.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman in simple clothes opened the door.

When the maid saw her, she immediately knelt down and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

This middle-aged woman with ordinary appearance and simple clothes is the current Queen of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

"What's the big deal?" the queen asked in a cold voice.

The palace maid couldn't help but shudder and buried her head even lower.

"The Emperor has sent this servant to tell the Empress that a demonic bird has appeared in the city. He hopes you can contact a cultivator to exorcise the demon."

"Demon bird?" The queen was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What evil things has it done?"

The maid replied, "The guards who came to report said it was causing trouble at the Xiangyun Restaurant."

"What happened? How many people were killed?" There was a hint of impatience in the queen's voice.

The maid's body trembled even more violently, and her voice trembled. "No, no one was killed. I just disliked the food and wine at Xiangyun Tower and threw it away. I haven't heard of anyone killing anyone."

"Why are you looking for a cultivator if you didn't kill anyone?"

The Queen said, then turned and went inside, slamming the door shut.

The palace maid hurriedly got up, turned around and stumbled back to report.

The queen closed the door, stood in place, and swept her spiritual sense towards the street where Xiangyun Tower was located.

Then I saw Badou hovering in front of the gate of Xiangyun Tower, shouting loudly inside.

"Hurry up and serve your Master Ba some good food and wine. If you serve this awful food again, I'll tear down your restaurant."

The shopkeeper knelt in the lobby on the first floor and kowtowed profusely, "Master Bird, it's not that we won't serve you wine and food, it's just that mortal food is too crude and you can't get used to it. Even if we serve you another table, it's still the same."

Badou said angrily, "I think you are just trying to please Master Ba and look down on me."

After saying that, he blew a breath into it.

A ball of fire flew into the hotel lobby and instantly burned a table inside to ashes.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.

Badou immediately shouted, "Look carefully, everyone, I didn't touch him. He was just too timid."

The queen's spiritual sense passed through Croton and covered the entire city, but she did not sense the presence of any cultivators.

She continued to extend her spiritual sense, and within the limit of her spiritual sense, there was no one in the sky.

On the official road, ordinary people coming and going are busy working for their lives.

She withdrew her spiritual sense and ignored Badou, wondering whether the female cultivator she had met before was one of the righteous cultivators who caused the changes in the southern branch.

Why did this bird come to the mortal city and act so recklessly? Wasn't it worried that the monks would attack it?

He wanted to ask what happened to its owner and why it came here, but he was also worried that there were still righteous monks outside watching him.

She now felt a little regretful. In order to maintain the mystery, she did not leave any contact information with these subordinates. Now she couldn't even ask about the situation of the branch.

Forget it, even if the entire southern branch is gone, the other branches may not be discovered.

Until your skills are fully mastered, you'd better be patient.

She ignored Badou, but her spiritual consciousness monitored Badou's every move, and even monitored the entire capital and its surroundings with her spiritual consciousness.

It took a long time, and although it was mentally exhausting, she had no choice but to do this to be on the safe side.

Besides, Xiao Han and Yun Que took a bumpy ride in a carriage for a whole day before they finally arrived at the capital.

With Yunque there, the soldiers guarding the city could not pose any obstacle to them.

The two entered the city. Xiao Han had even changed his clothes and hairstyle to be cautious. After sensing Croton's location, they took a carriage directly to the inn closest to Xiangyun Tower and checked into the inn.

At this moment, everyone in Xiangyun Tower was almost driven crazy by the croton.

Although the owner behind Xiangyun Tower is the younger brother of the current emperor, he dare not show up now.

The most important thing is that even the emperor can’t do anything about it, so what can he do?

Seeing that his efforts seemed to be ineffective and that he had failed to live up to his master's expectations, Badou decided to make things bigger.

Seeing the magnificent palace, it thought it should go there and cause trouble, perhaps to have some influence.

So Croton flew towards the palace.

The palace guards who had been closely monitoring it were so frightened when they saw the evil bird flying towards them that they tightened their bowstrings.

The captain of the guards protecting the palace gave the order to shoot without thinking too much.

Even though he knew that mortal bows and arrows could not hurt the demon bird, he couldn't just watch the demon bird coming and do nothing.

A row of arrows rained down on Badou, which just gave Badou a reason to make trouble.

It summoned up its spiritual power and flapped its wings, and the guards holding bows and arrows immediately fell to the ground one by one.

"How dare you, ordinary mortals, attack Master Ba? You must be tired of living."

Badou knew that his master would not allow him to kill people at will, so he had to teach these people a lesson.

But this little bit of movement is still not enough.

Badou rolled his eyes and flapped his wings towards the front gate of the palace.

There was a loud crash, and the front gate of the entire palace and the nearby buildings all collapsed.

No matter how weak Croton is, it can still easily deal with mortals and their buildings.

Inside the palace, the emperor was so scared that he ran straight to the backyard where the queen lived.

At the critical moment of life and death, the emperor, who was used to a life of luxury, could run very fast at this moment.

When he was out of breath and crawling to the forbidden area in the backyard, he no longer had the strength to knock on the door. He could only shout in a distorted voice, "Queen, Queen, help me, help me, Queen..."

In fact, the queen knew it when the croton flew towards the palace, but she did not take any action and just watched coldly.

Hearing the emperor's screams, she frowned in disgust, but finally walked over and opened the door helplessly.

"Queen, help! Quick, contact the immortal cultivators! Quick..."

When the emperor saw the queen, he shouted almost at the top of his lungs.

Seeing the queen standing in front of him with a calm expression, he suddenly felt relieved and said happily, "Queen, have you cultivated well enough to deal with this demonic bird?"

The queen shook her head and looked at the croton at the front of the palace.

Badou only felt as if he was being stared at by a terrifying thing, and then heard a voice shouting angrily: "Get out!"

Croton was so frightened that it trembled and flew backwards quickly, immediately calling for its master frantically in its heart.

"Master, the big fish is out, the big fish is out, and he told me to get out."

Xiao Han, who was guarding the inn, suddenly became energetic and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yun Que, that guy is still hiding in the city. He has shown up."
