The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han: I’ve seen stingy people, but I’ve never seen anyone as stingy as you.

He doesn't even want to spend a single immortal stone, and thinks he's incredibly charming. With just a little seduction, all the low-level female cultivators will be bewitched and fall head over heels for him?

What a big face.

If you hit me with the magic stone, I might be shaken.

He complained in his heart, but when he slowly raised his face, there was an expression of surprise and joy.

"What the senior said, is, is it true?"

Fu Cheng was very satisfied with Xiao Han's reaction. He smiled and said, "Of course it's true. If you follow me in the future, you won't have to worry about cultivation at all."

Xiao Han nodded, looking extremely well-behaved.

Fu Cheng finally stated his purpose, "Then you know how to proceed with tomorrow's competition, right?"

Xiao Han nodded again, "I understand."

She looked at Fu Cheng, her eyes filled with excitement, admiration, and love.

Fu Cheng scoffed inwardly. He had long known that bribing low-ranking female cultivators like these wouldn't require Flower Immortal Stones. His Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal strength, handsome appearance, and gentle demeanor were enough to captivate them.

However, to be on the safe side, he frowned and threatened.

"I don't like people lying to me. I've always been very kind to my own people, but if someone betrays me, the outcome will be a life or death."

Xiao Han shook his head desperately, "No, no, in my heart, you are like a god, I will never betray a god."

His face was filled with fear and trepidation, but he sneered inwardly. "I said I wouldn't betray the gods, not you. Besides, I didn't explicitly promise you anything."

As soon as he found out that his life was not in danger, Xiao Han couldn't help but start acting out loud on the surface and complaining wildly in his heart.

When Fu Cheng saw the piety, awe, and secret joy in Xiao Han's eyes when he was looking at him, he felt that he had dealt with Xiao Han perfectly.

He also didn't dare to detain Xiao Han for a long time, for fear that Mingfeng would find out.

So he tied up Xiao Han again, moved him outside the door, and then closed it.

Xiao Han knew that a gate could not block the sight of such a great monk, so he looked at the gate reluctantly for a few times before turning around and leaving.

When she entered the inn and saw Senior Shangguan sitting inside waiting for her, she realized that she was already covered in cold sweat.

She was actually really afraid that Fu Cheng would go astray and kill her.

Shangguan Yunfei noticed that Xiao Han's face looked strange and asked immediately, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Nothing, I've already completed the identity verification and can go to the competition tomorrow. Come on, let's go inside and have a drink to celebrate."

After saying that, he winked secretly.

Shangguan Yunfei immediately understood and asked the waiter at the inn to bring some good wine.

After the formation in the room was activated and it was confirmed to be safe, Xiao Han told everyone what had happened to him.

Shangguan Yunfei was both angry and contemptuous.

"Tell me, with this kind of person as the leader, what future can this alliance have?"

Xiao Han consoled him, "We won't be hanging around in there anymore, so why bother? However, you have to tell Senior Mingfeng about this. Otherwise, after the competition is over tomorrow, if I win, I'm afraid Fu Cheng will really kill me with one palm."

Shangguan Yunfei immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll have Fellow Daoist Mingfeng guarantee your safety. Once the competition is over, just have Mingfeng hold him back, and I'll take you away immediately, using the teleportation array. I'll collect your competition fee for you."

Xiao Han hurriedly thanked him.

This way, she really has nothing to worry about.

Anyway, Qianfu City is far away from here, and she has always lived in seclusion, so she may never have the chance to meet Fu Cheng again in the future.

Alas! The unconventional ways of making money are indeed very risky!

The next day, Shangguan Yunfei escorted Xiao Han and met up with Mingfeng and his group.

When Shangguan Yunfei informed Mingfeng of Xiao Han's experience, she immediately wanted to rush over and scold Fu Cheng for his shamelessness.

She even thought that the competition in the Earthly Immortal Realm might have been lost because of Fu Cheng's behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Fortunately, Mingfeng was not a brainless and impulsive person. She sent a message to Shangguan Yunfei, telling Xiao Han to feel free to compete, and she would definitely protect Xiao Han's safety.

This time, the competition in the human fairyland was held directly over a hill near the alliance headquarters because the low-level cultivators’ combat effectiveness was not strong and the aftermath of their spiritual power would not cause any damage.

Of course, the competition among low-level cultivators could not attract cultivators from nearby immortal cities to watch. However, many cultivators from the alliance, both high-level and low-level, came.

After all, today's competition determines who will be the next leader.

After Fu Cheng came over with a group of his loyal subordinates, he and Mingfeng began their usual hypocritical and affectionate conversation.

After all, they used to be the right-hand men of the previous leader.

However, between the pleasantries, Fu Cheng sent a message to Xiao Han: "Hanhan, don't forget our agreement."

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Han to reply to him through voice transmission in front of so many people.

The voice transmissions of low-level cultivators could sometimes be overheard by high-level cultivators with special means, so she should avoid making things more complicated.

However, in order to show that she understood, she still secretly glanced at Fu Cheng and blinked.

Seeing that Xiao Han didn't show any abnormality, Fu Cheng felt relieved. When he greeted Mingfeng and the referee, his smile became more confident and gentle.

The competition was about to begin. Xiao Han and the middle-aged male cultivator he had met yesterday flew high into the sky together.

The two men saluted each other from a distance, and then showed their respective magic weapons.

What Xiao Han held in his hand was naturally the Sky-Breaking Sword.

Her Sky-Breaking Sword was fused with a broken sword obtained in an ancient battlefield, so even now in the fairyland, she can still use it with ease.

However, once she advances to the Earthly Immortal Realm, she will have to find suitable materials to improve the quality of the Sky-Breaking Sword.

The magic weapon that the middle-aged male cultivator opposite took out was a banner.

The old man who was to judge the outcome of the three matches flew high into the sky and confirmed that the two contestants were the monks he had verified yesterday before he was ready to announce the start of the competition.

But Mingfeng suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

Everyone was stunned, and then they saw her looking at Fu Cheng, "Is this competition going to determine the final winner? You won't wait until the competition is over and then find some reason to stop me from becoming the leader, right?"

Fu Cheng thought about this round and knew he was sure to win. He smiled and said, "Sister Feng, am I the kind of person who doesn't keep his word? However, I'm just worried that you'll find an excuse not to admit it."

Mingfeng sneered inwardly when she saw the other party's confidence.

Since Xiao Han chose to tell her about Fu Cheng's attempt to win her over, it meant that she would definitely give her all in the competition.

Then, Mingfeng looked at the monks who were watching around him and said loudly, "Today's battle will determine the outcome. I hope all the fellow Taoists in the alliance will come to bear witness. When the time comes, Fu Cheng and I will follow the agreement, and the victor will succeed to the position of leader."

She looked at Fu Cheng and said with a smile, "What do you say, Brother Fu?"

Then, while Fu Cheng was expressing his opinion, she immediately sent a message to Xiao Han: "As long as you defeat the opponent cleanly and beautifully, I will give you another 100,000, for a total of 600,000 immortal stones."
