The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

The pill that Xiao Han took was the antidote for the Netherworld Flower.

After she brought the Netherworld Flower back from the Abyss of Heavenly Prison, Shui Wuhen hurriedly went to find the only person who could concoct the antidote for the Netherworld Flower, Old Man Gao, and bought a few antidote pills at a high price, which she then sent to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han sealed the Netherworld Flower in a jade box. Just now, he pretended to spill some things on the ground and opened the box with a crack more than an inch wide, allowing the poison of the Netherworld Flower to escape.

Actually, this thing is colorless and odorless, and Xiao Han himself doesn't know whether it has released any toxicity.

Master Pan heard that the sound recording stone was mostly filled with the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder, with only a few voices mixed in, which were completely inaudible.

His face immediately darkened. Looking at Xiao Han, who was sitting on the ground pretending to cry, he said coldly, "It seems you really want to cry."

Xiao Han didn't want to confront them head-on at this time and suffer needlessly.

She wiped away non-existent tears from her face, looked up and said, "When that ancient cultivator was giving his lecture, it happened to be during a thunderstorm and strong wind. I secretly recorded it with a sound-recording stone. At first listen, it's naturally hard to hear clearly; you have to listen carefully."

Then, she repeated a passage from the beginning of her lecture.

Master Pan recalled that among the words he had heard in the recording stone, there was one sentence that he clearly recognized, which seemed to be a sentence from the middle of the passage that Xiao Han had repeated.

He snorted, "Just repeat what you know."

Xiao Han said helplessly, "I'm just afraid that you won't believe what I'm saying, so I thought I'd just let you hear the original audio."

Master Pan glared at her and said, "Can't I tell whether it's true or false?"

Xiao Han stretched out her hand, "Alright, give me the recording stone, and I'll just listen and repeat it. If you really ask me to repeat it word for word, I really won't remember it."

Although the voices of the ancient cultivators in this recording stone are indeed difficult to hear clearly, and most people would not know that it is actually describing drawing talismans in the void when they first listen to it, Xiao Han still does not want to leave this recording stone in the old man's hands.

Xiao Han immersed his consciousness into the recording stone and began to mutter to himself from the beginning. He didn't fake it; he simply repeated the words one by one, following the voice and tone of the ancient cultivator who was giving the lesson.

Master Pan listened intently as he heard that the explanation of the most basic meaning of drawing talismans in the void had indeed begun.

Then, he heard Xiao Han suddenly shout, "Mingxin, if you don't pay attention in class, get out!"

Master Pan was startled by her sudden rebuke and was about to get angry when he heard Xiao Han change her tone and say, "Uncle Mu, you have wronged your junior nephew. Your junior nephew has been listening attentively the whole time. It was my junior brother who kept sending me telepathic messages and interfering with me."

Master Pan finally couldn't help but shout, "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Xiao Han said with a wronged expression, "This is something that happened in class. I just repeated what I heard in the recording."

This was certainly not from the recording stone; it was just something Xiao Han added to the lesson to buy time.

She didn't know how long it would take for the poison from the Netherworld Flower inside the jade box to take effect, or how long it would take for the poison to take hold. She could only try to stall for time.

In any case, the sound of the recording stone in the cultivation world needs to be heard by sinking one's divine sense into it if it is not activated and amplified. In addition, the lectures inside the recording stone are not very clear to begin with, so she is not afraid that Master Pan will notice immediately.

Master Pan glared at her, "You can omit this kind of trivial stuff."

Xiao Han: "Okay."

Then he added, "That junior brother stood up and offered a few words of explanation."

He paused, as if waiting for the person inside to finish speaking, and then continued, "The ancient cultivator who was giving the lecture expelled both of the brothers from the classroom."

She then continued in a serious tone, as if she were a lecturer: "Listen carefully, if you don't understand the essence of drawing talismans in the void, don't expect me to explain it to you a second time."

Master Pan wanted to urge her to stop talking nonsense, but he held back the words.

He figured the ancient cultivator would probably continue lecturing.

That's really the case.

Xiao Han then explained the basic theory of drawing talismans in the void for about ten more sentences. Seeing that Master Pan was listening intently, he started to add his own dramatic flair once again.

"Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

Master Pan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood.

This time, he didn't scold her anymore, and let Xiao Han recount these messy interludes.

Seeing that he didn't stop her, Xiao Han became even more enthusiastic about adding more scenes.

"Junior brother, my two good-for-nothing disciples have angered you, haven't they? Please let them continue attending the class for your senior brother's sake."

“Senior brother, as you know, they didn’t pay attention to such an important lesson as drawing talismans in the void. How can I not punish them?”

Upon hearing this, Master Pan nodded in deep feeling.

Exactly, how can you not listen attentively to a lecture on drawing talismans in the void, instead of causing trouble?

Xiao Han also commented on the spot: "The sects of this ancient era are no different from our sects now. I'm sure that the sect leader and the ancient cultivator who is giving the lecture are also outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds."

Master Pan looked at Xiao Han with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, "Ancient cultivators were also human beings. Humans are all the same. They all fight for power and profit, and they all have their own selfish desires."

He suddenly realized that he was supposed to listen to a lecture on drawing talismans in the void, not to discuss gossip about ancient cultivators with Xiao Han.

"Alright, stop talking about things that are irrelevant to the lecture. Just continue summarizing the lecture content."

Xiao Han: I still have so many scenes to add. This little incident alone could give you a whole script about sect infighting.

With a slight regret, she could only read a few more sentences from the lecture.

Just as she paused, preparing to think of another way to add more drama, Master Pan frowned again and said, "It's not like you can't move. Can't you tidy up the things on the ground? Can't you stand up and talk?"

Xiao Han sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, surrounded by a pile of jade slips, jade boxes, and other miscellaneous items. She kept looking up as she spoke to him, and she was even in a good mood, laughing at the little incident that happened in the ancient cultivator's class.

Xiao Han thought to herself, "If I take care of all these things, how will I cover up the Netherworld Flower's release of toxins?"

She feigned grievance and said, "I'm even a small realm lower than you, and you're using a high-level talisman to trap me. It's such a waste. Besides, aren't we making a deal right now?"

Master Pan said with a stern face, "If you keep dawdling and refusing to give a lecture, don't blame me for being impolite."

After saying that, he started to pick up everything on the ground and "pull" Xiao Han up as well.

Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Han hurriedly swept everything off the ground and put it into her storage bracelet.

Seeing that she was still slowly getting up, Master Pan angrily released his spiritual power and pulled her up.

But the next moment, his expression changed drastically.

"When did you poison me?"

After saying that, he raised his palm and slapped Xiao Han.
