The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 266: Lu Xinyu's Plan

Sitting in a teahouse in Xingyao City, Lu Xinyu was holding a teacup, frowning and thinking about his future.

The effective range of the communication talisman was too short, and it was impossible to contact Xiao Han who was far away in Xinyue City. Lu Xinyu regretted not buying a communication magic weapon because she was reluctant to spend money.

If I could use a communication tool to contact Sister Han, she would definitely be willing to help me and come directly to Xingyao City to pick me up.

She had no other talents, but she was very gifted at judging people. From childhood to adulthood, she could always accurately judge a person's temperament and whether they were truly fond of her or just pretending.

As soon as she came into contact with Xiao Han, she felt that this person was someone worth making friends with, so she immediately became familiar with Xiao Han and became friends with him.

The fact was indeed so. The other party was a foundation-building cultivator, but he never put on airs in front of her. He really treated her as a little sister and never thought of making friends with the powerful elders in the City Lord's Mansion through her.

This is also why she is willing to confide in Xiao Han and even reveal her reluctance to marry.

It’s a pity that the method proposed by Sister Han didn’t work. She told her parents that she didn’t want to get married and was willing to stay in the family to practice and help the family like the men of the Lu family.

But her father said her talent wasn't top-notch; she had some hope of building a foundation, but achieving a core was wishful thinking. Under these circumstances, her family wouldn't agree to her not marrying. Marriages between large families were always based on profit.

If Lu Xinyu's marriage partner was not Zhen Mufeng, a genius among the younger generation of the Zhen family, perhaps she could still stay in the family and find a son-in-law, but who told her to marry Zhen Mufeng?

The Lu family will not give up a son-in-law who has a high chance of becoming a Jindan cultivator.

Seeing that her opposition to this marriage was ineffective, Lu Xinyu had no choice but to leave a letter to express her determination, stating that in order to pursue the path of immortal cultivation, she would rather be a casual cultivator than get married.

She also expressed her gratitude to her parents for raising her and her family for training her, and said that after she becomes a high-level cultivator, she will return home to serve the clan.

Sister Han had said that New Moon City was the most friendly city for independent cultivators, and that it was the only place where she could easily buy Foundation Establishment Pills. Therefore, she had to go to New Moon City.

However, as a Qi-cultivating cultivator, she certainly didn't dare to cross the vast mountains alone to go to Crescent City. The only way was to go with others.

But most of the caravans heading to Crescent City were unwilling to take a stranger with them.

Even if the various immortal cities' City Lords' Mansions didn't have deep connections, they were still familiar with each other's names. As the legitimate daughter of the Lu family's eldest branch, if she visited the Xingyao City City Lord's Mansion at this time, she would surely receive assistance and be able to arrange a reliable caravan for her.

The problem was that she had left a note when she ran away from home. When her parents found the note, they would definitely be furious and start looking for her everywhere.

She took the teleportation array of Canghai City. If they followed this clue, they could easily track her down here.

Lu Xinyu was startled, realizing she'd been careless. No, she had to create a false alarm and not let her family know she was staying in Xingyao City. Otherwise, if they couldn't find anyone in Xingyao City, they'd easily associate it with Xinyue City.

This time, Lu Xinyu didn't even bother to drink tea, and hurried back to the teleportation hall of Xingyao City.

She planned to find a random city to teleport to, then change her appearance and teleport back secretly.

In order to let the people in the Xingyao City Teleportation Hall clearly see her leaving, Lu Xinyu asked the cultivator in charge of the teleportation with a frown as soon as she entered, "Fellow Daoist, which immortal city has the cheapest teleportation fee?"

Seeing that it was a beautiful young female cultivator, the cultivator immediately said kindly, "Which immortal city are you teleporting to? There are two immortal cities with similar fees."

Lu Xinyu said, "I'm just traveling around, I don't have any fixed destination. You can see which immortal city has the cheapest teleportation fee, and I'll go to that immortal city."

The monk said, "Xifeng City is the shortest and the cheapest."

Lu Xinyu, "Okay then, I'll go to West Wind City."

Then, while waiting for the teleportation array to West Wind City to open, she deliberately lingered inside for a while longer, making sure that the monk in charge of the teleportation would remember her.

After being teleported to Xifeng City, Lu Xinyu went to the store and bought a set of men's clothes, and then bought a black cloak.

Then she left West Wind City and found a deserted place, changed into men's clothes and put on a cloak.

Then, whether she was entering the city or taking the teleportation array, she lowered the hood of her cloak and kept her head down.

After all this trouble, she returned to Xingyao City again.

Well, even though she had set up a trap and her family probably wouldn't think she'd come back in disguise, the question still remained: how was she supposed to get to Crescent City?

Lu Xinyu decided to stay in Xingyao City first and slowly find a suitable way to go to Xinyue City.

She now had accumulated about 300,000 spirit stones. A night inn with 100 spirit stones was considered quite good. Even if she stayed in the inn for a long time, she could still afford this amount of spirit stones.

So, Lu Xinyu settled down in Xingyao City, and then slowly asked if there was any caravan willing to take people to Xinyue City.

For two days in a row, she hid in the corner of the teahouse lobby disguised as a man, drinking tea and listening to the gossip of people around her. She actually heard some useful information.

It turned out that since Li Moyun successfully refined the low-level flying magic weapon, the Juxian Sect not only sold this low-level flying boat that can be used by Qi-cultivating monks in major immortal cities, but also developed two-person, three-person, and low-end flying boats that can carry up to five people.

This flying boat can use the spiritual power of cultivators as a driving force, or spiritual stones as a substitute, and is more flexible than previous flying magic weapons. The disadvantage is that the flying speed is very slow and the flying height is only a hundred feet high.

But even so, the straight route of the flying boat at high altitude is much faster than the Qi-cultivating monks relying on their two legs and light body talismans to travel around in the mountains.

For example, if a Qi cultivator were to travel from Xingyao City to Xinyue City on foot, it would take about a month to travel through the mountains. However, using a flying boat, they could reach Xinyue City in six days.

Therefore, many Qigong cultivators who were traveling for business were trying to find ways to buy a flying boat to travel with. After all, it saved time, and by making more trips, they could earn more money.

Lu Xinyu had heard about flying boats that could be controlled by Qigong cultivators when she was in Canghai City. However, she was so focused on accumulating spirit stones that she couldn't bear to buy a flying boat that cost tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Now, when Lu Xinyu heard that many monks who were doing business had bought flying boats to travel, he suddenly came up with an idea.

If she bought a flying boat that could carry two people and then posted the information, she could take one person to Crescent City.

This way, they would have a safe route and could look after each other if they encountered monsters along the way. Most importantly, with a Qigong cultivator on board, she had no fear of him harboring any ill intentions.

Once she arrives in Crescent City, she can just sell the flying boat.
