The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Think about Guild Leader Di Dai of Qingzhou. She has been demonstrating her ability to draw runes in the void for many years, but no one has dared to force her to reveal this skill.

This is the confidence that comes with the strength of a Celestial King.

Xiao Han was merely a Golden Immortal cultivator, and in the hearts of all the talisman masters who longed to learn this skill, she was naturally an easy target for everyone to manipulate.

So, in the end, it's still because her cultivation level is too low.

Since the high-level talisman master exchange meeting is still more than half a year away, Xiao Han decided to try to break through the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal barrier first.

In fact, she hasn't even touched the barrier of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal yet, so it's not appropriate for her to force her way through.

But at this moment, Xiao Han couldn't care less about anything else.

He spent 30 million immortal stones in one go, buying all the treasures on the market that could quickly increase spiritual power and were beneficial to the cultivation of Golden Immortal cultivators.

And so, just a month later, she felt she should be able to try to advance.

With only a Yin-Yang fish that could be used for enlightenment, Xiao Han had no confidence in her success, since she had no understanding of how to improve her cultivation level.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his communication magic item and contacted Shui Wuhen.

"Senior Shui, do you have some time now?"

"What is it?" On the other end of the communication device, Shui Wuhen's voice was as calm and steady as ever.

Xiao Han said somewhat shyly, "If you have time, please explain it to me. I want to try to break through the barrier of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal."

Some time ago, Shui Wuhen was going to preach to her, but she refused.

Not long after, Shui Wuhen came to give her another lecture, which made Xiao Han feel a little embarrassed.

Shui Wuhen simply asked, "Are you still in Thousand Talisman City?"

Xiao Han hummed in agreement and replied, "Yes."

Shui Wuhen immediately said, "Wait, I'll be right there."

Xiao Han put away the communication magic item, released Ba Dou, and gave it the Little Enlightenment Pill.

There were extra rooms in the cave, and Ba Dou actually had its own special spirit beast room. So Ba Dou swallowed the Lesser Enlightenment Pill and went to its room to cultivate in seclusion.

Just as Xiao Han closed the door for Ba Dou, the cave's protective barrier was activated.

He hurriedly went over and opened the door, only to see Shui Wuhen standing at the entrance.

Xiao Han hurriedly and cheerfully welcomed Shui Wuhen into the house, and then busied herself making tea to entertain him.

After Shui Wuhen started drinking his tea, Xiao Han asked, "Have you found a suitable location?"

Shui Wuhen said, "I have many territories, but I'm not satisfied with any of them."

Xiao Han didn't know what Boss Shui's standards were for territory, so she didn't dare to offer any advice and instead started talking about her own cultivation.

"I want to try to break through the barrier of the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal, so I have to trouble you to make a trip and explain the Dao to me, so that I can gain more insights into the Great Dao."

Unexpectedly, Shui Wuhen put down his teacup, looked at her, and said, "What happened? Why are you so agitated? How can you advance successfully in this state of mind? Even if I were to explain the Dao to you, you might not be able to comprehend it."

Just a while ago, she was in a very relaxed state. When she listened to the sermon, it was easy for her to enter the Dao realm, and the effect of the sermon was naturally better.

People are restless and impatient, eager for quick success and instant benefits. How can we expect to achieve results?

Xiao Han was stunned, thinking about what she had done recently, spending a lot of immortal stones to buy all kinds of treasures with only minor effects.

Looking back now, she really did enter a state of paranoia.

Realizing that her mindset was off, Xiao Han could only awkwardly say, "I'm sorry, I've made you come all this way for nothing again."

Shui Wuhen frowned, staring into her eyes as he asked, "What happened that makes you seem so out of sorts?"

Xiao Han had no choice but to recount in detail how he went to take the sixth-grade talisman master exam, how he exposed his void talisman drawing skills in order to win the bet, and how he was then coveted by the scheming Master Pan.

He added at the end, "I was a little unwilling to spread the knowledge of Void Drawing now, so I was in a hurry to advance to the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal realm, but I forgot that haste makes waste, and my state of mind got the better of me."

Shui Wuhen snorted, "Why should you share your own opportunities? Don't talk about selling your teaching skills for money. Right now, your cultivation level and talisman skills are far from comparable to those masters and grandmasters. Once you spread this skill, others will soon surpass you and leave you far behind."

"When the time comes, and we discuss drawing talismans in the void again, you, the original instructor, won't even be qualified to sit at the bottom of the table. How laughable that would be!"

Xiao Han was taken aback, and only then did she truly understand why she had been hesitant all along, unable to make up her mind to teach and earn money even though it would bring danger. It turned out that what she was really afraid of was the scenario that Shui Wuhen had described.

Shui Wuhen took out another very ordinary jade pendant, separated a wisp of his divine soul, sank it into the jade pendant, and then handed it to Xiao Han.

"Hang this jade pendant on your waist. I can sense it even if you only need a wisp of spiritual energy to activate it, or if you break it. In the meantime, focus on learning runes and calm your mind and cultivation."

Wow! A protective charm given by a Celestial King, the kind that can summon people directly, so what is she afraid of?

Xiao Han's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she said, "I can't accept this. I'm always troubling you to take care of me."

He had already taken the jade pendant and eagerly hung it on his waist.

Shui Wuhen then asked, "Where is the High-Level Talisman Master Exchange Meeting held?"

Xiao Han said, "It's in Qingzhou in the central region. After all, President Di Dai of the Qingzhou Talisman Alliance has been able to research and develop talisman drawing in the void on her own, surpassing the other four states. She is already a true leader."

Shui Wuhen nodded. "Okay, let me know when you leave."

Xiao Han didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

Shui Wuhen didn't linger; he finished his tea and left.

With the talisman in hand, Xiao Han no longer needed to rush to advance, so she calmed down and began to learn the Seven-Talisman Rune.

The talisman paper for seventh-grade runes needs to be crafted by collecting materials yourself. Mastering each rune will come with greater expenses.

However, there is no shortage of sales channels for seventh-grade runes; the market can be said to have as many as there are.

Xiao Han realized that she had not only used up several small teleportation talismans, but also bought a large number of them for self-defense, which showed how good the market was for seventh-grade talismans.

The Minor Teleportation Talisman is merely an auxiliary talisman; seventh-grade attack and defense talismans are also essential defensive items for many cultivators.

Furthermore, there aren't many types of seventh-grade talismans, so learning a seventh-grade talisman might actually cost less than learning a sixth-grade one.

However, once you reach this level of talisman, the learning progress will slow down considerably due to the issue of the raw materials for the talisman paper, so you need to be prepared for a long period of study.

When you're busy, time flies by.

Before we knew it, the day for the exchange meeting had arrived.

Remembering Shui Wuhen's instructions, Xiao Han used a communication artifact to notify Shui Wuhen.

Ba Dou has silently entered the eighth level of the Human Immortal Realm again. Xiao Han is very interested in seeing if Ba Dou will take human form if he breaks through to the Earth Immortal Realm, and what he will look like after taking human form.

It's a pity that this guy leveled up entirely by lying down, and it's unknown whether he'll ever reach the Earth Immortal realm.

Xiao Han stuffed the croton into the spirit beast pouch and opened the cave door.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Han was stunned for a moment.

Shui Wuhen stood with his hands behind his back under a sweet osmanthus tree in front of the cave.
