The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

As the saying goes: A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live!

In modern times, Xiao Han knew how difficult it was to make money in a small mountain village, and how many job opportunities there were in big coastal cities.

And in a small fairy city like Fuyuan City, just like her small mountain village hometown, the people living here can only barely make ends meet. Expecting any great achievements is a joke.

Xiao Han didn't think leaving his small village to work outside would lead to great success, but the money he could earn would definitely be many times more than what he could make at home. Most importantly, there were more opportunities to make money.

Therefore, leaving Fuyuan City and living in another more prosperous Great Immortal City would at least allow one to access more and richer cultivation resources, which would definitely be of greater help in improving one's cultivation.

As a migrant worker forced to leave home at a young age, Xiao Han wasn't afraid of venturing into the unfamiliar big city. In this strange, alien time and space, she didn't feel the urge to leave her hometown.

Of course, Xiao Han would not leave Fuyuan City rashly now.

At the second level of Qi training, her cultivation was far too low. Furthermore, not only did she lack the spiritual stones needed to survive in a foreign land, but she also had outstanding debts. Therefore, even if she was tempted to cultivate in the Greater Immortal City, where resources were more plentiful, she wouldn't rashly venture in.

Naturally, Xiao Han would not come to persuade Jiang Yaohua and his apprentice to leave Fuyuan City. Everyone has their own ambitions. As a local native, Jiang Yaohua's experience, knowledge and judgment are definitely better than hers.

Jiang Yaohua didn't chat with Xiao Han for long before leaving. When they left, they left each other's communication talismans.

Jiang Wan also wanted to exchange communication talismans with Xiao Han. Xiao Han was a little reluctant to waste too many communication talismans. After all, one spirit stone only made ten communication talismans. The little girl would definitely not be looking for her for serious matters.

Jiang Wan saw through Xiao Han's thoughts, took out a communication talisman, and glared at her. "You've earned so many spirit stones from writing storybooks, why are you still so stingy? Forget it, mark this communication talisman with your spirit breath mark."

After she got the communication talisman with Xiao Han's spiritual mark, she also stuffed a communication talisman with her own mark on it to Xiao Han and reminded him, "When I ask you to reply to a message, you must reply."

Just as Xiao Han suspected, Jiang Wan's intention to exchange messages wasn't really about serious business. She simply wanted to know the progress of the new storybook and urge for updates.

Now that Datou's debt was paid off, Xiao Han felt that the pressure of life was relieved a lot. Her living standard was finally improved a little. Her monthly living expenses increased to ten spirit stones. At least she didn't have to live on pickles and porridge anymore.

It was her third year in Fuyuan City. This year, she continued to work at the pace of one book every two months, and wrote a total of six books. Although she had many fans of her books in other immortal cities, the bulk of the profits went to the booksellers in those cities. Qian Wanshan didn't make much from selling the copyrights, so the rewards he could share with her were naturally even smaller.

On average, the royalties plus profit commission for each book is about 300 spirit stones.

On average, I only earned five spirit stones a day. It might not seem like much, but over time, small amounts add up.

It's just that she felt that she had almost written all the interesting plots, and she had a lot of writer's block, and she felt like she had run out of ideas, and she was getting more and more tired of continuing to write the book.

Fortunately, with the blessing of spiritual power, once she has inspiration, she can write quickly and can finish the same number of words in half a day as she did in the first day. This way, she can free up some time to do odd jobs outside.

Therefore, over the course of this year, in addition to paying off the remaining 500 spirit stones she owed, she also accumulated 1,600 spirit stones.

As a cultivator at the second level of Qi training, she could accumulate so many spirit stones in a year. It seemed like a lot, but in fact, these spirit stones were completely saved. After all, in the past year, she had basically not bought anything else except for food expenses.

For example, he bought some clothes and shoes for monks, a magical weapon for self-defense, etc. He didn't even buy high-quality spiritual rice.

Because the thing that made Xiao Han anxious had already happened.

That was her cultivation level. She had entered the second level of Qi training for two years. During these two years, she had never stopped practicing at night, and finally raised her cultivation level to the peak of the second level, but she encountered a barrier to upgrading.

Now half a month has passed, and she still practices every night, but she still can't break through this barrier.

Xiao Han shamelessly went to ask Granny Yuan for advice, and Granny Yuan told her that this was perfectly normal. Why did cultivators with poor aptitude level up so slowly? Besides the extra time it took to refine spiritual energy, the biggest problem for them was the barrier they encountered with each level-up.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through each barrier.

For someone like Xiao Han, who has poor aptitude and is older and took a long time to draw Qi into his body, the resistance to breaking through the barrier is even greater.

There is a barrier between the second and third levels of Qi training. Perhaps if she keeps squeezing and impacting her Dantian, and spends another year, she will be able to break through the barrier and upgrade to the third level of Qi training.

It would take five or six years to accumulate enough spiritual energy to reach the third level of Qi training. And without external help, she might need another five or six years to slowly grind through the barrier from the third to the fourth level of Qi training.

After hearing the time calculated by Grandma Yuan, Xiao Han's heart sank.

By this calculation, even if she never slept and practiced non-stop for her entire life, by the time she was a hundred years old and her Qi and blood were declining, her cultivation level would probably be at the sixth or seventh level at most.

So, she asked Grandma Yuan if there was any help from auxiliary pills such as Breaking Barrier Pills?

Granny Yuan also told her that the Barrier Breaking Pills were extremely rare in Fuyuan City. Even if she had accumulated enough spirit stones to buy the Barrier Breaking Pills, it would be difficult to find one.

Even if there is a way to get one, every time you upgrade, you have to rely on the Barrier Breaking Pill to break through, so how can you be lucky enough to buy so many?

Even if she worked hard to cultivate and reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, her Qi and blood would most likely be too weak to successfully build a foundation.

In fact, according to Grandma Yuan's opinion, if Xiao Han doesn't want to get married and have children and leave offspring, then he should just make some money, eat and drink well, and enjoy life, and live an ordinary and happy life.

After listening to Grandma Yuan's analysis, Xiao Han didn't work the whole day and felt that he had lost all hope and motivation in life.

She traveled from the high-tech modern world to this mysterious alternate time and space. Would she also spend her entire life at the bottom of society? What was the meaning of her journey?

Why were those predecessors who had traveled through time, even with even less powerful five-element mixed spiritual roots than her, able to successfully reach the top and become the strongest or one of the strongest in that world? In addition to having a golden finger given by God, it was probably also the result of their unwillingness to accept the status quo and trying every possible means to climb up.

Xiao Han, who had hope again, encouraged himself in his heart: So, Xiao Han, you can't give in!

Hard work may not always be rewarded, but if you don’t try hard, there will be no reward!
