The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The treasure-hunting beast can only discover that there are special minerals underneath, but it cannot clearly tell what type of minerals it is.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as it is confirmed that there is ore underneath, subsequent verification will be easy.

Xiao Han just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to get a surprise.

Xiaobao rested for a while and explored two more places. He didn't find any mineral veins, so he stopped drilling underground.

After all, it is still too young and its cultivation is not very high, so it is still very difficult for it to drill under the entire mountain.

Xiao Han took Jiang Xin back to Xianyun Valley and prepared a banquet to entertain her.

Xiaobao was also allowed to drink, and he got drunk the first time he drank.

After being released, Badou realized how powerful Xiaobao was and dared not to provoke him again, so he stayed away from him.

It’s a pity that it is the only spirit beast in Xianyun Valley. If it had a companion, it wouldn’t be afraid of being bullied by this outsider.

However, Badou felt that if there were other spirit beasts, it would no longer be the only and most popular spirit beast in Xianyun Valley, so forget it.

At this time, Xiao Han and Jiang Xin were sitting in a beautiful place drinking tea and chatting.

Xiao Han warned Jiang Xin, "You must never tell anyone else about Xiaobao's ability to find minerals. Otherwise, even if you sign a pet-ownership contract with him, you might not be able to keep him. In other words, you might end up being mistaken for a different kind of treasure-hunting beast."

Jiang Xin nodded, "I know. Apart from you, I have never let anyone else know about Xiaobao's abilities."

Xiao Han added, "The Loose Cultivator Alliance doesn't need to look for a second mineral vein for now. We can wait until the current one is almost depleted."

Jiang Xin's cultivation level is still not high enough in Yuantian Continent. Without a certain level of strength, even if he finds a mineral vein, he cannot keep it all to himself.

Xiao Han was now truly thinking about her. After all, if she was a little more selfish, she could just use Jiang Xin as a tool.

As long as Jiang Xin doesn't improve his own cultivation to the Void Refinement Realm, he won't be able to make the Loose Cultivator Alliance bigger and stronger.

It's very simple. The independent cultivators in Yuantian Continent are different from those in the small world. The independent cultivators here are not like the independent cultivators in the small world. They are suppressed too much by the sects and families. Therefore, the independent cultivator alliance she formed does not have much cohesion.

Alliances and sects are different. Sect disciples are trained from a young age, and the sect will also brainwash them and cultivate their sense of responsibility to the sect.

But the Loose Cultivator Alliance is different. The lone cultivators who joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance are all veterans in the martial arts world. They do not have any external pressure to stick together for warmth. It is impossible for the Loose Cultivator Alliance to develop a complete system that is attractive to them so quickly.

So Jiang Xin can't act too hastily now.

Jiang Xin was a decisive person. She said to Xiao Han, "Aunt Xiao, if we discover an unowned mineral vein, I will tell you directly, and then Xianyun Valley will step in and occupy the land. At that time, the mineral vein will be divided equally between the Loose Cultivator Alliance and Xianyun Valley."

She already knew that Xiao Han's master had advanced to the Fusion Realm. With a Fusion Realm cultivator in charge, she wouldn't be afraid of other forces trying to snatch the power away.

She believed in Xiao Han's character, and Xiao Han was the eldest disciple of Master Wen Fu and had absolute say in Xianyun Valley, so she felt at ease cooperating with Xianyun Valley.

Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, "If the Loose Cultivator Alliance can't defend a place, Xianyun Valley will be your backup."

Even though Jiang Xin has improved his cultivation to the realm of refining emptiness, he still needs allies sometimes.

At that time, it would be equivalent to her paying a high price to hire Xianyun Gu as a bodyguard, which is not impossible.

The next day, Xiaobao, after sobering up, continued to work.

After working for several days, they finally completed the survey of all the mountains within the Xianyun Valley.

But there are only three mineral veins worth mining.

Xiao Han was very satisfied with this result. After all, the territory occupied by Xianyun Valley was not very large.

These are all Xianyun Valley’s deposits.

Xiao Han did not tell others about the three places with mineral veins for the time being because she did not want Jiang Xin to be suspected by others.

Later, she would slowly invite monks who were specialized in surveying mineral veins to come and take a look at the process, and then she would find a clear way out.

When she was on Blue Star, she had no family connections. Now, she was really treating Xianyun Valley like her own home and working hard to run it, hoping that her family would become richer and more prosperous.

Life returned to normal. With savings at home, Xiao Han felt much more relaxed. He decided to look for a suitable place to open a shop while collecting some jade slips of martial arts secrets for Xianyun Valley.

However, before she could leave, she suddenly received an invitation from Xie Yi to hold a refining ceremony.

After Xiao Han returned to Xianyun Valley, he also tried to contact Xie Yi, but failed. Now it seems that Xie Yi must have been striving for the Refining Void Realm at that time.

Xie Yi and Xiao Han have been friends for hundreds of years, and Xiao Han knows a lot about his private life. Therefore, he did not hide anything from Xiao Han and frankly told him the purpose of holding the Lianxu Ceremony.

Simply put, the purpose of holding this ceremony is to give an explanation to Pei Jingshu, who was in a relationship for the sake of profit.

In order to allow Xie Yi to participate in the husband selection without any worries, Pei Jingshu once promised Xie Yi that after the two of them had been together for a hundred years, if Xie Yi wanted to leave the Pei family, she would not stop him.

For Xie Yi, a man who wants to be Long Aotian, women who like him can be taken into his harem and favored, but he cannot give up the entire forest for a tree.

So Pei Jingshu used the hundred-year agreement to persuade him, and he immediately agreed.

Now he and Pei Jingshu have been together for more than a hundred years. Even though he has been traveling around for most of the time, at least in name, he is Pei Jingshu's Taoist partner. Other forces near the Pei family will consider Xie Yi as a fighting force when competing with the Pei family.

Xie Yi has now successfully advanced to the realm of refining emptiness. He decided to hold a refining emptiness ceremony at the Pei family to give Pei Jingshu some honor and put some pressure on the forces around the Pei family, and then secretly break up peacefully.

In other words, if the Pei family encounters difficulties in the future, Xie Yi will not ignore it, and the Pei family can still use Xie Yi's name to scare people outside, but Pei Jingshu is no longer his Taoist partner, and he can still interact with any confidante.

To be a man like Long Aotian, he would naturally do his best to protect every woman who loved him. But it would be too difficult for him to remain chaste to only one woman, both physically and emotionally.

This is why Xie Yi chose to break up secretly.

Xie Yi disdained to play the trick of keeping a lover after having a Taoist partner, but he could not be loyal to only one person forever. The only way was to dissolve the Taoist partner relationship.

Xie Yi told Xiao Han that after he held the Lianxu Ceremony, he and Pei Jingshu would privately dissolve their Taoist partnership as agreed. Xiao Han was not surprised by this bold move.

She had always known that Xie Yi was a playboy and had a lot of lovers, but for the sake of his cultivation, he could still calmly become Hu Yun's male concubine.

He combined with Pei Jingshu because Pei Jingshu's special physique could help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

So after he was upgraded to the realm of refining emptiness, he finally had to become single again, which was very Xie Yi.

She would definitely go to Xie Yi's Lianxu Ceremony in person to deliver gifts.

But Xiao Han didn't expect that she would actually encounter a big surprise at the scene and see Xie Yi's old lover coming to make trouble.

PS: Guess who Xie Aotian’s old lover is. I guess 95% of readers don’t remember this old lover because she is just a supporting role who appeared once.
