The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han felt that perhaps God had finally tortured her enough and raised her luck value.

After the folk remedy successfully improved her physical condition, she received a communication talisman from Wu Jinnian, ordering a total of thirty watches in the colors and styles he required.

She could earn another 180 spirit stones from this order. Although it was a bit hard work, the money came quickly.

Xiao Han felt that if watches gradually became more popular, more and more monks would need them. Although many apprentices and workshops would get involved to share in the profits, this also meant that she could continue to run this business for a long time.

That means she can find a small vendor somewhere else to wholesale her watches.

As long as there are two people purchasing goods from me, based on the average daily shipment of ten watches, I can earn nearly two thousand spirit stones a month.

This situation will only last for a year, and I won't have to worry about cultivation resources for the next two or three years.

With this idea in mind, Xiao Han worked overtime for another five or six days, accumulated dozens of watches, and then went out to look for his own partners.

At first, Xiao Han was going to look for other stall owners in the wild market to cooperate with, but when he passed by the door of a grocery store, he saw the female owner inside introducing the products to the customers in a eloquent manner, and suddenly he had an idea.

Yes, why do I have to find small vendors? If I can’t cooperate with the magic weapon shop, then isn’t a grocery store that sells everything also a sales channel?

So Xiao Han waited until the customer finished shopping and left, then went in to talk to the female owner about selling watches.

In the end, although the deal was done, Xiao Han was defeated by the female shop owner's persuasion and the transaction was finally completed at a price of ten spirit stones per watch.

Although he earned one less spirit stone for each watch, Xiao Han was still very happy because he had a more stable sales channel.

After that, she really had no free time at all every day. After finishing her meditation in the morning, she would eat some food saved from the workshop and rush to work.

Before Master Hu came to work, she was doing her own private work.

Xiao Han knew that learning the skills was the most important thing. Therefore, when Hu Xi arrived, she would quickly put away her personal work and diligently help Master Hu, earnestly learning the knowledge of refining equipment.

Only when Hu Xi was refining an important part of the magic weapon and could not be distracted, would Xiao Han go to do his own private work.

For example, smelting raw materials or something.

The lunch break and the time after work in the evening before dark are all the time Xiao Han spends making watches.

After a busy month, Xiao Han calculated her earnings and found she had made roughly 1,300 spirit stones. This was mainly because Wu Jinnian and the female shop owner sold a wide variety of items, making it impossible to constantly push watches. Gradually, their daily shipments decreased.

Xiao Han doesn't want to develop another wholesaler for the time being, mainly because life with no free time at all is really tiring.

Even though she is a monk and will not feel physically tired, she will feel mentally tired.

Now that the shipment volume has decreased, she can just refine some at once and then take a few days off.

However, during the lunch break, Xiao Han, who didn't have to work, could only think about cultivation.

Although her physical condition has improved due to her age, her four spiritual roots still destined her to a slow progress in cultivation. Therefore, she must find ways to increase her cultivation speed.

This world didn't have the kind of elixirs described in immortality novels, like the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Spirit Enhancement Pill, which could be taken for cultivation. Because elixirs that could instantly increase spiritual energy were necessarily made from spiritual herbs comparable to heavenly materials and treasures, they could only be used in special circumstances.

For example, the foundation-building pills used in foundation building and the condensed pills used in elixir formation. The elixirs used were precious and rare, and no one, even the children of wealthy families, would take them for daily cultivation.

What’s the difference between this and practicing with spirit stones?

Pills like the Barrier Breaking Pill also don't increase spiritual energy, but rather stimulate the body's potential through medicinal properties to break through barriers.

So don’t even think about taking drugs or practicing cultivation.

Then, the only way to increase the speed of cultivation is to increase the concentration of spiritual energy.

Whether in Fuyuan City or Zixiao City, the caves Xiao Han rented were the cheapest, and the concentration of spiritual energy was naturally not very high.

Now that she wants to increase her cultivation speed, she can no longer live in a cheap cave.

Xiao Han counted her spirit stones again. Not counting the watch raw materials and fifty or so watches left in the storage bag, she had accumulated more than 1,700 spirit stones.

In this way, renting a better cave is completely affordable.

The lease on her current cave residence was due in two months, and Xiao Han was hesitant about giving up the remaining rent. If she moved out now, she would lose two months' worth of sixty spirit stones, which seemed like too much of a waste for her, who was always frugal.

But if I don't move, it means I will have to practice slower for another two months.

In fact, the spiritual energy in the lowest level of the mountain where Xiao Han lives now, that is, the first level, is richer than that on the fifth floor where she lives. The rent is fifty spirit stones a month, but if you change houses, you still need to rent a new one and pay the rent again, and the remaining rent will not be refunded.

Finally, Xiao Han changed his mind and thought, what's the point of earning spirit stones? It's for cultivation. As long as he can cultivate faster, spending a few more spirit stones is nothing.

But since Xiao Han wanted to rely on the rich spiritual energy to increase her cultivation speed, she was a little disdainful of the first floor of the mountain, which was not much stronger than the fifth floor.

With this idea in mind, Xiao Han ran to the cave rental office of the City Lord's Mansion at noon the next day to look for a more advanced cave for cultivators.

Finally, she chose an area closest to the Earth Fire Peak and asked for a cave residence with a monthly rent of two hundred spirit stones.

Anyway, the spirit stones she had were enough to pay for half a year's rent, so she could just move in first. If the watch didn't sell well in the future and she had no money to pay the rent, she could just move back to the cheapest cave.

The next morning, Xiao Han put the things in his house into the storage bag, returned the restriction token of this cave, and replaced it with the restriction token of the new cave. The new cave was on the first floor inside the mountain.

As expected of a cave residence with rent several times higher, the rooms here were not only spacious but also had separate bedrooms and practice rooms. Besides the practice room, all the other rooms had windows, and each had a sunstone the size of an egg embedded in the roof.

When Xiao Han felt the concentration of spiritual energy in the training room, he felt that the two hundred spirit stones were worth it.

Sure enough, no matter when, having money can get you better experience and enjoyment.

At night, Xiao Han, who was sitting cross-legged in the training room, felt the spiritual energy in his body growing faster again, and the anxiety in his heart was finally relieved a little.

It has been more than a year since she entered the third level of Qi training. She is now 26 years old, or 27 in lunar age.

If she could reach the fourth level of Qi training next year, the fifth level of Qi training at the age of thirty, and reach the peak of Qi training at the age of fifty, then she still had hope of building a foundation.
