The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Ever since arriving in the fairyland, the strange and suffocating feeling of falling from the clouds into the dust has now disappeared.

Badou was promoted to a higher level right from the start. It took her three months to be promoted to a higher level. After that, she encountered no inner demon tribulations or thunder tribulations. Everything went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

If it were to be like this in the future, having no money would be meaningless, mining would be meaningless. Once she climbed to the ranks of great monks, all the hard work would become insignificant.

At this moment, Xiao Han was full of fighting spirit and confidence again, and was full of anticipation for life in the fairy world.

He set off again with Badou and found that his flying speed had almost doubled. However, it was still much slower than that of the mayor of Shengxian Town, the old cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

She was a little confused about what realm she was in now. Was she still in the fusion realm of the lower realm?

Xiao Han discovered the familiar Shengxian Town in his spiritual consciousness and decided to go down and find the shop owner to buy some books about the fairy world.

Shengxian Town was still as deserted as the last time I saw it. Aunt Tian was sitting in front of the shop eating melon seeds.

Seeing Xiao Han, Aunt Tian was a little surprised and asked, "Huh? You don't mine anymore?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "We just finished mining."

After saying that, she walked into Cheng Lei's shop. Cheng Lei took his eyes away from a projection and greeted her with a smile, "Daoyou are back."

Xiao Han's gaze fell on the projection, and he asked in surprise, "What is this...?"

A small round mirror magic weapon, which obviously has the same function as the photo stone.

Cheng Lei immediately introduced it: "This is a living storybook. You don't have it in the lower realm, right? It's very interesting."

Xiao Han looked at the character's movements in the projection and felt something was odd.

Cheng Lei continued, "Someone writes a storybook, and then a Golden Immortal cultivator uses his spiritual power to simulate the characters' movements and scenes, turning it into a living storybook. It's more interesting than just reading text."

Xiao Han finally understood what was so strange about this. This was actually a cartoon from the immortal world, except that these cultivators were so powerful that one person could simulate a movie or TV show with their spiritual power.

But it was created by one person after all, so the facial expressions of the characters are a little bit stiff, but much more lively than the cartoons on Earth, and only slightly lacking in facial micro-expressions compared to live performances.

She asked tentatively, "Then why not have a group of real people perform it?"

Cheng Lei was puzzled and said, "Why does it take a group of people to perform something that can be done by one person? That would be too much trouble."

Well, it seems that the film and television industry in the fairy world does not accept live performances.

Cheng Lei suddenly remembered his identity as a shop owner and asked hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to sell or buy things this time?"

Xiao Han asked, "How do you sell books about the fairy world?"

Cheng Lei was immediately cheered up when he saw that business was coming to him. "Three immortal stones for one book, very cheap."

Xiao Han asked, "What are the contents?"

Cheng Lei: "It contains some basic common sense introductions to the Immortal Realm, the geographical distribution of the major forces, their respective characteristics, etc. This is compiled by me, specially tailored for you ascended monks, hehe!"

He chuckled twice with some complacency, obviously very proud of his own cleverness.

"There are also introductions to some major events in the immortal world from ancient times to the present. These are the goods I bought and sold. They cost five immortal stones. There are also some anecdotes, biographies of celebrities, etc."

Xiao Han then picked out a book introducing common sense about the fairy world compiled by the shop owner and a book of strange stories and anecdotes, spending a total of eight fairy stones.

Thinking about her own upgrade, she couldn't help but ask, "Are there no more specific divisions for the cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm here? Are they just collectively referred to as the Human Immortal Realm?"

Cheng Lei's business finally opened today. He was in a good mood and of course answered every question.

"The Human Immortal Realm is divided into nine small realms. As long as a cultivator can draw Qi into the body and practice, he will become a human immortal in the first level, then the second level, the third level, and so on until he reaches the ninth level. After that, he will be promoted to the Earth Immortal Realm."

Xiao Han asked again, "So this person's immortal realm, all the way up to the ninth level, is free of inner demon tests and thunder tribulations?"

Cheng Lei glanced at her and said with a bit of disdain, "Human Immortals are still within the realm of humans, not immortals, so how could they have such tests? Once you have accumulated enough immortal spiritual energy and broken through the barriers at each level, you can advance."

Xiao Han thought that when one reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm in the Lower Realm, one mainly relied on enlightenment, and no longer needed to meditate to accumulate spiritual energy. He immediately asked in confusion, "Then why did I advance without meditating to accumulate immortal spiritual power, and just by enlightenment?"

Cheng Lei had long sensed that her cultivation had advanced by a level, and upon hearing this, he said, "That's because you had already accumulated enough spiritual energy to reach the peak of the seventh level. Because of a certain understanding that conformed to the laws of this world, you easily broke through the barrier and naturally advanced."

Xiao Han immediately said, "You mean, I'm currently at the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm, and I need to be promoted to the ninth level before I can advance to the Earth Immortal Realm?"

Cheng Lei nodded, "The thunder tribulation will only occur when the Human Immortal Realm transforms into the Earth Immortal Realm. From now on, every time you advance to a higher realm, there will be a thunder tribulation test."

Then, he said to Xiao Han in a serious tone, "Although the special nature of the Immortal Realm's thunder tribulations has already been mentioned in the Immortal Realm common sense book I compiled, I still want to remind you here: unless it's absolutely necessary, don't lightly attempt to survive the thunder tribulation."

"Why?" Xiao Han asked in surprise.

Cheng Lei sighed, a rare occurrence. "Because the thunder tribulations of the immortal realm are very capricious, they strike at random. Sometimes, within your Earthly Immortal realm thunder tribulations, there might even be a thunder tribulation comparable to that of the Golden Immortal realm, leaving you completely unable to resist and ultimately perishing."

Xiao Han was shocked, "How could this happen?"

In the Yuantian Continent, thunder tribulations were used to temper the cultivators' bodies. Although the pain was also very bitter, it was at least not as dangerous as this.

Cheng Lei said, "Why does the thunder tribulation happen like this? We can only ask the heavens of the immortal world. Anyway, because the thunder tribulation has no rules at all, going through it is really like going through a life-or-death tribulation, so many cultivators are not very active in cultivation. Even those who reach the peak of the human immortal realm have a lifespan of three thousand years, which is already a very long life."

Xiao Han now really doesn't know whether he has made a loss or a profit.

If she were in the Yuantian Continent, someone in the Refining Void Realm would have a lifespan of 5,000 years, and someone in the Fusion Realm would have a lifespan of nearly 10,000 years. So, after she landed in this dream-filled Immortal Realm, her lifespan actually decreased?

However, seeing that Cheng Lei had only reached the seventh level of the Human Immortal Realm, she said, "Then you must at least upgrade to the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm to guarantee a lifespan of three thousand years."

Cheng Lei said indifferently: "Don't worry, just practice slowly. After all, this kind of small realm barrier is still easy to break through."

Well, she couldn't understand the Buddhist mentality of these local natives.

The books have already been bought, and the other items for sale are very low-level, so Xiao Han doesn't plan to buy anything here.

So he took Ba Dou and continued to rush to Lingxu Fairy City.
