The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han calculated that the Sky Star Grass cost one thousand spirit stones, the Thorny Stem Flower cost one thousand five hundred spirit stones, and the Three-Leaf Red Bean Fruit cost five hundred spirit stones.

If I want to prepare the main ingredients for a pill recipe myself, I will need three thousand spirit stones.

It would take three years of apprenticeship to save up this much money. Xiao Han silently shed a tear of sympathy for his own poverty.

Although the herbs for the Barrier Breaking Pill are also very valuable, I heard that some large families can cultivate them. However, the herbs require a long period of time to grow and the yield is small, which makes them precious. However, they are not the kind of herbs that are difficult to buy.

Therefore, Xiao Han did not need to try every possible means to get it like the wild white jade red blood vine.

Xiao Han felt a little depressed after leaving the herbal shop, and he had completely lost the excitement of buying the White Jade Red Blood Vine.

When she thought about the fact that her income in the next few years would not be enough to leave her with a single spirit stone, she felt really pitiful.

Sometimes she even thought, if she could just stay in the City Lord's Mansion of Lingyun City as a concubine, without having to work, running around, and having fine clothes and delicious food, would she be happier?

But she also understood that even if she could turn back time, she would still choose to escape with debt.

Between physical fatigue and mental pain, she would still choose physical fatigue.

So, after thinking about it, she had nothing to regret. Everything was her own choice, and the choice was not wrong.

Therefore, Xiao Han, returning to the cave, immediately started practicing as usual. Although practicing was boring, it could help him avoid having to think about other things.

After receiving an advance payment of 600 spirit stones, there were still 200 spirit stones left, which was just enough to pay the rent for the second half of the year.

Although I have no money in my pocket, I have food and shelter, so I can still make a living.

Xiao Han quickly calmed down and followed Master Hu to learn how to refine weapons.

Even with her current level of cultivation, there are many things she cannot put into practice, but as long as she knows how to do it, at least she won't be in the dark in the future.

Time flies, and a year has passed quickly.

Xiao Han had accumulated another four or five hundred spirit stones, and she could finally try out her watch-making money plan.

After spending a year with Hu Xi, we both knew each other's temperament.

The master is easy to talk to and everything is much more convenient.

Xiao Han bought the raw material ores for making a magic tool for calculating time, and under Hu Xi's guidance, he began to refine the magic tool himself for the first time.

Regarding Xiao Han's suggestion that the magic weapon should be small and only need to know the specific time of day, Hu Xi felt that this thing was not even qualified to be called a magic weapon, as it really did not have much technical content.

When the first watch in the world of immortal cultivation came out, Xiao Han personally ran to the small flower hall in the front yard to adjust the time, activated it, and then put it on his wrist, looking at it over and over again with a happy mood.

She designed it in the style of modern watches. Because the first watch was for herself, the design was entirely based on her own preferences.

The dial is emerald-colored, the case is in the shape of light gold petals, and the strap is made up of small petals of light gold mixed with emerald color.

The dial uses spirit beads to support the movement of the pointer, just like an electronic watch. This way, the cultivator does not have to worry about it at all. It will continue to move until the spiritual power of the circle of tiny spirit beads inside the dial is exhausted.

If all twelve characters were written around the time instrument like the one in the small flower hall, it would be too crowded and not look good. Xiao Han only marked the corresponding upper and lower parts, namely Zi, Wu, Zuo, Mao, You.

After all, watches are new things, so it is better to have clear markings so that buyers can understand them and know the specific time immediately.

The three hands on the dial were two thick hands, one long and one short, and a thin hand. The short hand indicated the time, the hour hand. The long hand indicated the quarter-hour hand, which she called the quarter hand.

A quarter of an hour in ancient times was very close to fifteen minutes in modern times, so she divided the dial into eight quarters of an hour. In other words, one full circle of the quarter hand equaled one hour.

The longer one is the breath needle, which represents the time of one breath.

Xiao Han calculated that one breath was three seconds, one minute was twenty breaths, and one hour was two hours, which was two thousand four hundred breaths.

However, the direction of each jump of the breath needle is recorded according to the quarter-hour scale mark, that is, the breath needle jumps eight times, which is one circle. This makes it convenient for monks to calculate the time when they make threats to each other in the future.

For example, a cultivator raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and then said arrogantly: "I'll give you three breaths to think about it. After three breaths, don't blame me for being rude."

So three breaths means the needle jumps three times, which is about ten seconds according to modern time.

Of course, it is more convenient to calculate the three breaths directly by breathing, but isn’t this just for the purpose of showing off, haha!

Honestly, Hu Xi felt that Xiao Han's plan was completely unnecessary. Why did a cultivator need such a specific time? High-level cultivators' retreats were calculated in years.

In our daily lives, it is enough to have a rough time.

But after seeing Xiao Han's finished product, he felt that this was just an ornament that female monks wore on their wrists.

After Xiao Han made the first watch, he began to calculate the cost and wondered how to price it if he made more.

Because the watch has a single function and is simple to make, and she used some scraps, this watch actually has no reference value.

After thinking about it, she decided to buy regular raw materials and make a men's watch by herself. Then, after calculating the approximate cost, she would sell it first.

Only if someone wants it will there be any point in continuing to refine it.

Men's watches naturally couldn't be designed like hers, so she chose a very formal light gold color, a round disc shape, and the same size as a modern men's watch.

As for the strap, it is a black leather strap made from monster skin.

The men's watches have been refined, and a total of ten pieces have been refined. Xiao Han is about to start promoting them to test the market reaction.

After lunch that day, Xiao Han took a photo of himself with a lightness talisman and rushed to a nearby wild market where casual cultivators were setting up stalls.

After being in Zixiao City for a year, I have become somewhat familiar with the situation in the city.

In a wild market like this, which is spontaneously formed by low-level casual cultivators, the items in it may not be of good quality, but there are really all kinds of things.

Xiao Han found an empty spot, took out a cloth bag from his storage bag, spread it on the ground, then placed five men's watches on it and began shouting loudly.

"Fellow Daoists passing by, come and take a look at this latest timekeeping device. With it, you will never have to worry about missing important events again."

Xiao Han, a young female cultivator, shouted so loudly that she immediately attracted a lot of attention.

A middle-aged male cultivator who was setting up a stall next to her tilted his head to examine it carefully, asking, "What kind of timekeeping device is this?"

Xiao Han immediately picked up a watch and introduced it enthusiastically.
