The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

She wore a pure white, wide-sleeved robe made of millennia-old ice silkworm silk, with silver cloud patterns on the lapels and cuffs. Her black hair was half-tied up, with the rest cascading down to her waist like black satin.

With his well-defined features, deep-set eyes, and skin as smooth as fine jade—a trait unique to cultivators—Shui Wuhen, simply standing there, was a picture of an exceptionally handsome man in stillness.

He tilted his head slightly, seemingly looking at the osmanthus flowers in full bloom. Hearing the door open, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Han.

Even though Xiao Han had seen too many handsome men and was extremely familiar with him, she couldn't help but be amazed at this moment.

"Senior Shui, why didn't you knock before you arrived? You could have come in for a cup of tea."

Xiao Han smiled broadly and ran over to greet him warmly.

Shui Wuhen simply replied, "I just arrived. Let's go, it's about time."

Xiao Han then belatedly asked, "Are you going to the exchange meeting with me?"

Shui Wuhen said calmly, "I don't understand the Dao of Talismans, but it would be good to go and see for myself."

Although he gave Xiao Han a jade pendant for protection, Shui Wuhen felt that he should still go with her and let everyone know that Xiao Han had a Celestial King backing her. He thought that those talisman masters with ulterior motives would be more wary and think twice.

Xiao Han was overjoyed and felt incredibly safe.

With an old friend, the Celestial King, by her side, what did she have to fear?

"Since we're going to Qingzhou this time, we can take this opportunity to contact Senior Liu. If she has also successfully advanced to Immortal King, we can have another get-together."

She secretly thought that if Senior Liu also advanced to the Immortal King level, she would find a way to get Senior Liu to go to the exchange meeting and let everyone know that she had more than one Immortal King friend behind her, and then no one would dare to make a move on her.

Shui Wuhen glanced at Xiao Han and knew what she was thinking. He simply hummed in response, then used his spiritual power to take her to the headquarters of the Talisman Alliance.

Shui Wuhen, who had been keeping his aura under control, suddenly unleashed his full power when he arrived at the gate of the Fu Dao Alliance.

The steward in the main hall of the Fu Dao Sect, who was in charge of receiving guests, rushed out to greet the unfamiliar Immortal King.

"I was unaware of the Celestial King's arrival; I have failed to greet you properly!"

In any case, strength will always be the top priority in the cultivation world.

Even if these skilled talisman masters are extremely arrogant, they would never be disrespectful to top-tier powerhouses like Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables.

Shui Wuhen and Xiao Han walked into the main hall together. President Yu, who was chatting with a talisman master in the back hall, sensed that a Celestial King had entered the Talisman Alliance and hurriedly came out to greet him.

"I am Yu Wenzhao, the president of the Talisman Dao Alliance. And you are?"

President Yu bowed to Shui Wuhen as a peer.

Shui Wuhen returned the greeting, "Shui Wuhen greets Chairman Yu."

He then glanced at Xiao Han beside him and smiled, "Xiao Han and I have been old friends for many years. I learned that she was going to Qingzhou to attend the High-Level Talisman Master Exchange Conference. I happened to have some free time, so I thought I would like to go and see what it's like. However, I am not a talisman master. I wonder if this will be a bother?"

Chairman Yu isn't stupid; he knows perfectly well what Shui Wuhen's true intentions are.

He immediately laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Shui, what are you saying? As a Celestial King, I can go anywhere. Please come in, Fellow Daoist Shui!"

He then said to Xiao Han behind him, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, go and report this to Jiuhua."

Young Master Jiuhua has now advanced to the level of Grandmaster of Talisman Dao. This high-level talisman master exchange meeting was also arranged by Jiuhua with the help of President Yu in terms of personnel selection and travel arrangements.

Since a Celestial King is going to accompany us, Shui Wuhen should at least be given a superior room on the treasure ship later.

President Yu accompanied Shui Wuhen inside to talk, while Xiao Han went to find Jiu Hua.

However, when Xiao Han learned that everyone was still traveling by treasure ship, she suddenly thought of her Linglong Immortal Abode.

If everyone enters the Linglong Immortal Abode and is led by an Immortal King, wouldn't we arrive in Qingzhou very quickly?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Entering the Linglong Immortal Abode is tantamount to handing over one's life and fortune to someone else. Unless you are a close friend, who would be without reservations?

Forget it, let's not bother.

As for having Chairman Yu and Shui Wuhen use their spiritual power to carry these people over, what do they take the Celestial King for? Free babysitters?

Although traveling by treasure ship is slower, it is still the proper grandeur.

These talisman masters gathered on the treasure ship to exchange ideas, so the journey was not boring at all.

Although Shui Wuhen was not a talisman master, his status as a Celestial King still led to President Yu, who was also a Celestial King, personally accompanying him onto the ship.

Shui Wuhen was very high-profile and did not restrain his aura. He also had Xiao Han follow behind him, making it clear to the talisman masters who went with him that he and Xiao Han had a close relationship.

After this ostentatious appearance, he became much less high-profile once on the ship. He simply told Xiao Han to do as she pleased, while he stayed in his room with the doors and windows closed.

After all, he wasn't interested in what these talisman masters were talking about.

Xiao Han is currently learning seventh-grade runes. He is very interested in the things that these rune masters and grandmasters talk and exchange ideas about, and he feels that his days are very fulfilling.

When there was no one gathering and chatting in the central hall of the ship's cabin, she would stay in her room and study seventh-grade runes.

In this way, time flies by.

When Di Dai led a group of people to greet Chairman Yu and his entourage, she was taken aback when she saw Shui Wuhen beside Chairman Yu.

When did such a handsome, Immortal King-level talisman master emerge in Yanzhou?

This high-level talisman master exchange meeting is an exchange meeting for talisman masters and talisman grandmasters, which is why Di Dai thought so.

When President Yu saw Di Dai looking at Shui Wuhen, he immediately introduced, "This is Fellow Daoist Shui Wuhen. He is not a member of the Talisman Dao Alliance; he just came here with a friend."

If Ruoshui Wuhen is not a Celestial King, then President Yu would probably not even agree to let him get involved, let alone introduce him.

Then he introduced Di Dai to Shui Wuhen, saying, "This is Fellow Daoist Di Dai, the president of the Qingzhou Talisman Dao Alliance."

The two exchanged greetings as equals, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then the group entered the headquarters of the Qingzhou Talisman Alliance.

However, Di Dai noticed that Xiao Han, a Golden Immortal cultivator, was among President Yu's group, and couldn't help but glance at him again.

The high-level talisman master exchange meeting would not allow talisman masters who have not yet obtained the title of talisman master to participate. Could it be that Xiao Han, a Golden Immortal cultivator, has already reached the level of talisman master? That is simply impossible.

Didi felt that the female cultivator at the Golden Immortal Realm looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Besides, this isn't the scene of an exchange meeting; the Golden Immortal cultivators might just be visiting Qingzhou for fun.

So he said nothing and pretended not to see it.

Unfortunately, Chairman Geng from Yunzhou arrived before Chairman Yu and the others, and they were drinking tea in the main hall at that moment.

Upon seeing the talisman master from Yanzhou arrive, he naturally had to stand up to greet him and exchange pleasantries.

When he discovered that there was an unfamiliar Celestial King among the group, he was also startled.

Fortunately, after the president's introduction, he learned that Shui Wuhen was not a talisman master, which put his mind at ease.

But when everyone sat down to drink tea, President Geng saw that there was actually a Golden Immortal cultivator among the group of talisman masters, and couldn't help but tease, "President Yu really never forgets to mentor the younger generation. He even brought a junior to this high-level talisman master exchange meeting."

This is a veiled accusation that President Yu broke the rules and allowed low-level talisman masters to get involved.

President Yu naturally knew that President Geng was referring to Xiao Han, and immediately chuckled, directly stating his point by pointing at Xiao Han, "President Geng, are you saying she's not qualified? Let me put it this way, although this Fellow Daoist Xiao Han is not a Master of Talisman Dao, her understanding in certain aspects surpasses even yours. Do you think she's qualified to participate in this exchange meeting?"
