The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Although I didn't gain much in terms of martial arts, I bought a piece of Xuanli Stone that improved the quality of my natal magic weapon, so it was worth the trip to Jitian City.

Xiao Han can upgrade and smelt this kind of life-saving magic weapon by himself.

However, she no longer had high-quality cauldrons and other refining tools, so she borrowed other people's tools from the refining shop in Jixian City. After upgrading the Breaking Heaven Sword, she returned to Qianfu City.

After returning to Thousand Symbols City, the first thing she had to do was to buy all the runes above the fifth rank, and then compare them with the runes she had collected in the Small Chaos Realm to see if there were any runes that were not available here. After all, some talismans might have the same runes but different names.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought about comparing in the past hundred years or so. It was just that buying all the runes above the fourth grade was a considerable expense.

She had previously only thought about slowly learning and improving her rune skills. Once her runes reached a higher level, she would naturally know if she had any new runes. After all, those runes were for her to earn money in the future.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. In order to obtain a good martial arts technique, she had to use her own family assets.

This time, she simply compared them all to see how many runes were not found in the fairy world.

Although the price of runes was not high, she wanted to buy a large quantity, and high-grade runes were more expensive. She collected all the rune jade slips in the shop of the Fu Dao League, and it cost her nearly 200,000 fairy stones.

After all, it takes a lot of mental energy to engrave an eighth-grade rune completely and accurately into a jade slip, so the price of one rune is about 10,000 fairy stones.

Eighth-grade talismans rarely appeared on the market, and were often circulated among high-ranking cultivators. Xiao Han couldn't even imagine how much a finished eighth-grade talisman would sell for.

Since there was no need to travel anymore, Xiao Han rented a cave again to make it easier for him to stay.

After all, staying in an inn is not as convenient as living in your own house.

This time, she did not rent a cave in the fairyland, but rented a cave in the earth fairyland.

I haven't found any martial arts skills yet, so there's no rush to rent a house to practice.

It took Xiao Han three days to compare all the runes, and finally she found that she still had two runes in her hand, which should not be found in the fairy world.

She compared the two runes and found the one with lower grade, estimating that it should be a sixth-grade soul-sealing talisman.

She initially thought this soul-sealing talisman was the immortal world's soul-locking talisman. After comparing it, she discovered the rune lines were fundamentally different. Furthermore, her current level of talisman skills had improved, allowing her to guess its purpose.

The soul-locking talisman is used to lock the spiritual energy of related objects to prevent it from dissipating quickly.

The soul-sealing talisman is a sealing talisman that is used to seal the spiritual energy or spiritual charm of an object.

The remaining rune was a space confinement rune. Xiao Han guessed that this rune was either eighth or seventh grade.

In short, it should be another high-level rune.

However, whether a sixth-grade rune could attract the attention of Master Jiuhua and make him willing to give her the opportunity to purchase high-level skills was still unclear.

Xiao Han didn't think that she could exchange a sixth-grade rune for an earth-level martial arts technique. She just hoped to use this rune to trade for a purchasing opportunity.

Even if a ground-level technique cost millions of immortal stones, if someone was willing to sell it, she would work hard to draw talismans and accumulate them, and she would always be able to buy it. What she was afraid of was that others would not sell it at all.

A good technique is the key to long-term cultivation. The faster the cultivation, the more time and resources saved, which is definitely not comparable to the immortal stones used to buy the technique.

After making the decision, Xiao Han began to contact Master Jiuhua.

She was very glad that she had the other party's contact information by participating in the Fudao exchange group this time.

The communication tools of the Immortal Realm also have video functions, but few people use them. This is because the cultivators of the Immortal Realm value personal privacy and are reluctant to show their current environment to others at any time.

It is probably equivalent to when mortals on Earth contact each other using mobile phones, no one will make a video call unless relatives need to meet.

When Master Jiuhua found out that it was Xiao Han who contacted him, he didn't think much about it.

Then he heard Xiao Han say, "Senior, I found a rune among the runes I collected before. It should not be found in the fairy world. It is probably a sixth-grade rune. It is called the Soul Sealing Talisman, which is different from the Soul Locking Talisman. I guess it can seal the spiritual energy or spiritual charm of an object. Would you like to take a look?"

Jiuhua is dedicated to collecting new runes, so of course he wants to take a look.

This time, the two of them agreed to meet at the Mingxiangzhai Teahouse in Qianfu City.

When Xiao Han arrived, she arrived about half a cup of tea earlier than the agreed time. As soon as she reached the front door of the teahouse, she heard Master Jiuhua sending her a message.

"Come directly to the second floor."

She subconsciously looked up and saw Master Jiuhua sitting by the window of a room on the second floor.

When she reached the second floor and entered the room, she saluted Jiuhua, who was drinking tea. Jiuhua said directly, "Stop talking about those empty formalities. Show me the runes of the Soul Sealing Talisman."

If it really is a new rune, that would be great.

Perhaps because the other party had sent a new rune, Master Jiuhua personally poured a cup of tea for Xiao Han.

Xiao Han was not worried about Master Jiuhua's character, so she did not hesitate to hand over the jade slip engraved with the soul-sealing talisman.

Jiuhua took it and looked at it carefully.

He soon confirmed that this was indeed a rune that did not exist in the fairy world.

After all, all the runes that appeared in the fairy world were in his mind.

A happy smile immediately appeared on Master Jiuhua's face.

"You're right. This should be a new rune of about the sixth rank. Since you came to me on your own initiative, you must be planning to trade it to me. So, name your price."

For the last small teleportation rune, he not only gave two hundred thousand immortal stones on the spot and a place in the elementary school, but also gave him ten years' share of the rune's sales.

This time, Jiuhua handed the initiative to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han smiled shyly. "Senior, as you know, I'm an ascended cultivator, essentially a casual cultivator, and I can't get hold of high-level techniques. I'd like to use this rune in exchange for you selling me an earth-level technique."

Fearing that the other party might misunderstand, she emphasized, "The price of the Earth-level technique can be calculated separately. I only want you to sell it to me, and I can also guarantee that I will never pass it on to anyone else in the future."

In the end, she still kept a trick, saying that she would not reveal it casually, not that she would never reveal it.

Young Master Jiuhua didn't expect that this was her request.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What are your spiritual roots?"

Xiao Han said hurriedly, "Gold, wood, fire, and earth, the purity of these four spiritual roots is full. The water spiritual root is supplemented by natural materials and treasures, so it should be considered as the five spiritual roots. In my previous realm, after cultivating to a high level, all five spiritual roots would be supplemented."

Young Master Jiuhua thought for a moment and said, "Although you are a pseudo-five spiritual root, you can still practice the Chaos Technique. My third brother seems to be practicing the Earth-level Chaos Technique. How about this, wait for me to ask."

Then, he took out the communication magic weapon, cast a sound insulation spell, and started contacting Shang Mo.
