Scanning the mustard seed space in front of her, Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows slightly. With only a dozen medium-grade spirit crystals and dozens of low-grade spirit crystals, this person was a little too poor.
The other spiritual materials were mostly level four spiritual materials, and there were only a few level five spiritual materials.
Facing a questioning gaze, the short and fat male cultivator cautiously put on a smile.
"Fairy, please don't think it's too little. If I weren't poor, I wouldn't risk my life to do this, and I wouldn't specifically target cultivators with low cultivation levels."
Watching helplessly as the spiritual crystals and spiritual materials in the mustard seed space were swept away, he felt his heart bleeding, but he dared not show any displeasure.
"Fairy, you've taken all the things, can you let me go?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The real good stuff hasn't been taken yet."
Xu Chunniang was calm and composed, her eyes kept looking back and forth at him.
The short and fat male cultivator was frightened by her look and pleaded, "Fairy, please understand, I really don't have anything good. You have also seen the mustard seed space."
"Those are worthless things, and there aren't many spirit crystals. Hand over your magic weapon."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, the short and fat male cultivator had no choice but to admit defeat and slowly took out a rope.
The rope was of lower grade fifth grade and looked to have been used for many years, being extremely worn.
Xu Chunniang even suspected that she could break the rope if she used a little more force.
She glanced at the rope and didn't take it.
"Who are you trying to trick with a broken rope? Where are the other magic weapons?"
The short and fat male cultivator quickly forced a smile.
"Don't be angry, fairy. I don't have any better magic weapon, do I?"
"Stop talking nonsense. There should be a magic weapon for my destiny, right? Do you want to get it yourself or should I come and get it myself?"
The short and fat male cultivator's expression changed and hesitation appeared in his eyes. If his natal magic weapon was lost, his cultivation would be damaged. It would be difficult to find a suitable high-level magic weapon in the future.
But thinking of the power of the sword just now, the fear of death ultimately overwhelmed the reluctance.
He can't beat him, and he can't run away either, so he should just be sensible.
The short and fat male cultivator took out a gourd with great pain, ruthlessly cut off the connection between the gourd and himself, and handed it to Xu Chunniang.
Having lost his life-saving magic weapon that he had nurtured for many years, his aura instantly became much weaker.
Xu Chunniang took the gourd and let out a soft "eh".
I didn’t expect that this gourd is actually of top-grade level five, and because it has been nurtured for many years, it is full of spiritual energy.
"Fairy, this is the best magic weapon I have. The other magic weapons are just like the rope just now. They are not up to standard. With your strength, I am afraid you can't use them."
As if afraid that she would not believe him, he took out two or three more magical instruments. They were indeed low-grade fifth-level instruments and looked half-old and half-new.
One of the flying swords had several notches on it. Xu Chunniang also had an identical one in her hand, which was the one distributed to all the monks participating in the service.
She took the gourd and glanced at the magic tools, knowing that he must be telling the truth.
The natal magic weapon is often the most valuable thing on a cultivator.
The most valuable thing on him is the gourd he just got.
"When you robbed me earlier, you claimed that you would only take my spirit crystals. If that's the case, I won't take these things."
The short and fat male cultivator finally showed some joy on his face, "Thank you, fairy, thank you, fairy!"
Although these magic weapons are worn out, he has used them very smoothly. It would cost a lot of spirit crystals to buy new ones.
He is penniless now, so it would be better if he could keep it.
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Fairy, I see you've been heading southwest all this time. Are you going to serve in the army?"
Xu Chunniang looked at him with a half-smile, and the short and fat male cultivator was suddenly startled and hurriedly explained.
“Fairy, please don’t misunderstand me. I am not asking about your itinerary. This place is far away from the southwest battlefield. It is not uncommon to see monks like me who make a living by robbing people on the road.
If you encounter a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage, no matter how powerful your swordsmanship is, it will be useless to them..."
Hearing this, Xu Chunniang frowned slightly. She had never fought against an opponent in the Void Refinement Stage before. If she really met one, she didn't know what her chances of winning were.
If you encounter a cultivator in the late stage of the Refinement Realm, you might not even have a chance to escape.
The short and fat male cultivator observed the expressions of the people and offered suggestions at the appropriate time.
"Many cities have caravans. These caravans will transport goods to various battlefields every once in a while. If the fairy can travel with the caravan, her safety will be greatly increased."
Xu Chunniang seemed to be thinking about something. When she was in Qucheng, she also saw a caravan, but she didn't pay much attention to it at that time.
It makes sense. The spiritual world is full of high-level cultivators, and the higher the cultivation level, the easier it is to plunder others.
If you are unlucky and encounter a stronger cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, you might die.
"I will seriously consider what you said. Thank you very much."
Three days later, Xu Chunniang entered a city slightly larger than Qucheng. After asking where the caravan was, she walked in the direction of the caravan.
After the short and fat male cultivator, she indeed encountered another robber.
The aura on that person is even stronger than that of the evil-eyed beast, and he is most likely a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage.
He set up the domain of law near a fifth-level spiritual herb and hid himself nearby. Anyone who went to pick the spiritual herb would enter the domain by mistake.
After discovering a level five spiritual herb hidden in a remote corner, Xu Chunniang was originally planning to pick it, but when she approached, she found traces of the magic domain around it.
After realizing that this was a trap, Xu Chunniang made a prompt decision to run away.
When the person lurking in the dark saw her running away, he immediately revealed himself and chased after her.
Relying on teleportation and the Nine Steps of Freedom, she ran away for two days and two nights without stopping. In the end, the man who was chasing her gave up voluntarily, and Xu Chunniang escaped this disaster.
She suspected that the person behind her was tired of chasing her and felt that there was nothing good on her as a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation, so he gave up.
It is also possible that someone else set foot in the domain of law he set up, which led him to leave.
But no matter what the reason was, Xu Chunniang, who escaped the disaster, no longer had any hope of getting lucky.
For a young cultivator like her who had just achieved divine enlightenment, the spiritual world was indeed too dangerous.
If she didn't follow the caravan, she might not be able to reach the southwest battlefield successfully relying on her own strength.
When she arrived at the caravan and explained her purpose, someone quickly invited her into a private room.
In the private room, she was received by a middle-aged female cultivator.
She smiled and offered a cup of tea.
"I heard that the fairy wants to travel with the caravan. I wonder where the fairy's destination is?"
"Crane City."
Hecheng is the closest town to the southwest battlefield and also the farthest place the caravan can reach.
The middle-aged female cultivator's eyes showed understanding. Most of the cultivators who went to Hecheng were going to serve.
"Five days later, a team led by a great late-stage fusion master will set out for Crane City."
