Three hooligans came hurriedly, speaking in vicious tones.
"I saw it go in, go!"
They kicked away the neatly arranged baskets of others. A peasant girl in simple clothes was weaving with bamboo strips nearby and screamed in fright.
"What are you doing?!"
The girl's face was covered with light gray gauze, and her appearance could not be seen.
She put her hands on her hips and was very angry.
The three of them asked in a bad tone, without a trace of politeness at all.
"Did you see a little rabbit run in?"
The little girl just thought they were talking nonsense and scolded them angrily with pursed lips.
"What rabbit? Pay me back!"
They scratched their heads in confusion, "Strange, we clearly saw it running in this direction."
Ruan Mian waited until they were far away before she felt relieved and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death."
After taking off the gauze covering her face, her fair little face still showed a bit of panic, and the tip of her little nose was red.
She was still not used to suddenly changing into human form.
Bare feet stepped on the rough ground, toes curled up, ankles delicate and beautiful, as if a slight pinch would leave a mark.
The girl's skin was so delicate and tender, so delicate that it turned red from being rubbed by the brown coarse cloth clothes.
It seems that this transformation pill can also conceal the evil spirit in her body, making her unnoticed.
The streets were filled with strange-looking cultivators or people from the martial arts world, and no one would deliberately stare at an ordinary girl wearing a headscarf.
Ruan Mian no longer felt oppressed and wandered around happily, touching here and looking there.
I was still thinking about whether there was any way to return to Jiyuelin again. Everyone misses their home, and monsters are no exception.
She remembered Fox saying that the entrance to the secret realm could only be opened every five hundred years.
But I have no cultivation and my life is short, so I can't hold on until that time.
First of all, I have to find a way to learn and practice, which is a big problem.
The girl passed by an inconspicuous stall on the roadside. In a cage at the foot of the stall, there was a little monster that looked like a cat but was not a cat.
It was chubby all over, with a conspicuous orange-yellow fur, drooping ears, and eyes that seemed unable to open, lying lazily inside.
Ruan Mian raised his foot to walk, but his eyelids twitched and he stopped.
If you look more closely, you will find that although the little thing is round, it looks like it has been hungry for a long time, its claws are trembling and it can't even stand steadily.
He is as weak as I am and cannot practice fasting.
After hesitating for a while, the girl walked to the stall and pointed at the cage and asked.
"Boss, how much is this?"
Being misunderstood as wanting to buy the spiritual herb next to it, the man began to sell it in a boastful manner.
"I'm not exaggerating, this treasure, once you eat it, I guarantee you'll reach the realm of a powerful cultivator within three months."
He was still talking excitedly, and Ruan Mian pointed at the little monster again.
"I'm not buying spiritual herbs, I'm talking about this."
The corner of the man's mouth twitched. He thought it was a business opportunity, but he turned out to be a fool.
He lifted the cage and shook it, rubbing his chin to estimate the price.
"Tsk, this thing is worth three low-grade spirit stones."
It was very cheap, but the girl couldn't afford it.
what to do?
When the little monster heard that someone was going to buy it, it curled up its chubby body and looked a little scared.
Ruan Mian fumbled in the storage bag for a few times and took out a nine-leaf sweetgum.
It grows in remote mountains and is not easy to pick.
Its leaves are shaped like maple leaves and have a fresh and pleasant taste.
Nine-leaf Liquidambar can help practitioners improve their state of mind, so that they can practice more attentively. Its effect is also known as the "mind-stabilizing pill."
The market value is ten medium-grade spirit stones.
The boss frowned and looked at Ruan Mian. The girl was wearing cheap and old-fashioned clothes, and her face was wrapped with a coarse cloth headscarf, and her whole body was wrapped tightly.
Guessing that she was a sucker who came from the countryside, he quickly reached out to take the nine-leaf sweetgum and said to her with a smile.
"Miss, this is already too much. I'll give you 300 low-grade spirit stones, and then you can pick out whatever you like."
The boss guessed correctly. The girl didn't understand the prices in this world. One medium-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and she didn't even realize that she was at a disadvantage.
Ruan Mian took some worthless mental skills and talismans, and thought the boss was honest.
People passing by couldn't help but shake their heads. They didn't go up to remind them, but just sighed in their hearts that another fool had been fooled.
The man happily counted his gains for the day and found that he had made a lot of money.
He politely bent down and handed the cage to the girl, and told her the origin of the little monster.
"It's a low-level species born from a demon and a human. I heard it made some mistake and was abandoned by its master."
Ruan Mian looked down and saw that the little guy obviously understood, with its tail drooping dejectedly and looking listless.
After carrying it away, she opened the cage.
"You go."
The girl couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she have the energy to raise it? She just couldn't bear to let this little guy end up in someone else's stomach as lunch.
It was still following behind Ruan Mian, but it was too small and was almost stepped on.
"Are you starving?"
Ruan Mian picked it up and bought ten buns to barely feed it. Touching its round belly, it felt good.
"Go away, don't follow me. I know you can understand."
The little monster was strong enough to walk carelessly, blocking the girl.
There is no choice but to hold it again.
If you can't get rid of it until dark, just take it with you as a companion.
Inn.
The candlelight flickered. After washing up, the girl sat at the wooden table and read ancient books. There were many introductions about the world of cultivation and the world of demons in the books.
The dim light illuminated the girl's beautiful face.
Her long black hair was tied up with the cheapest peach wood hairpin, and her skin was as white as glass. Even when she was wearing cheap brown linen clothes, Ruan Mian could not hide her elegance.
Her snow-white swan neck is long and straight, and her bright eyes are clear and lovely, mixed with an innocence that has never been exposed to the world.
In this world, there are cultivators, monsters, and ordinary mortals.
It is said that there used to be a god who could tear the void apart, but for some reason he disappeared in recent years.
Among them, monsters are the most despised because they are cruel and inhumane and take pleasure in killing innocent people.
As for monsters like her, they can develop intelligence.
People are not too averse to it, and small monsters are basically tamed or kept in captivity for people to control.
The little monster snored very loudly, and Ruan Mian felt his eyelids become heavy unconsciously.
Noon.
She got up slowly after a good sleep.
I continued to search for information about the Transformation Pill, but there was almost none. All I knew was that it was developed using some ancient secret technique and was extremely rare.
The girl had thought that if she could find a way, she would get a few more just in case, but there was no record of it at all.
He murmured, "Where else can I buy it?"
The little monster was lying on her head, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but speak.
"Do you think a Transformation Pill can appear just like that? It's different from ordinary Transformations in that it can completely conceal the user's aura, making it undetectable to other cultivators. Furthermore, there are only two of them in the entire world."
