Upon waking up, Lin Xiaoman found herself transmigrated, and to a fantastical, vibrant cultivation world at that! Fortunately, she possessed...
Chapter 112 Don’t Dream That Dream
"If the inner door was that easy to enter, we would have gone in earlier."
Lin Xiaoman shook her head. Not to mention the inner sect, she couldn't even pass the exam to become Master Wu's apprentice.
Thinking about the assessment a few years ago, I missed Master Wu's apprentice assessment. Now I feel regretful and sorry when I think about it.
However, some things may be fate, and she did not have the opportunity to become a disciple of Master Wu.
After they registered, Li Qingyue, who had made an appointment to have dinner with them, was also waiting at the intersection. The three of them went to Lin Xiaoman's yard together.
"Tuanzi, long time no see. Why do you look fatter?"
After entering the yard, Wang Musen saw Tuanzi basking in the sun under the porch. He happily went up to greet him and reached out to touch the cat's head with a smile.
He didn't dare to hold the cat. He had never seen anyone other than Lin Xiaoman hold the cat.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Lin Xiaoman still kept this cat and took good care of it. The cat never caused her any trouble and was very well behaved. Apart from being a little greedy, it had no other problems.
"Meow."
Tuanzi looked up, rolled his eyes at him, and turned away to continue basking in the sun.
"Qingyue, go play with Tuanzi, I'll be back soon."
Before she set out for Lingzhi Valley in the morning, she put some meat and vegetables to be stewed in the pot and simmered them on low heat. They should be cooked by now.
"good."
In the past few years, Lin Xiaoman has never left Tianyan Sect. He has been practicing and drawing talismans in the sect. Li Qingyue and Wang Musen, on the other hand, often go to Andu City or go out on missions, and the connection between them is quite close.
The main reason was that Lin Xiaoman and Wang Musen would trade talismans regularly. Wang Musen not only traded with her regularly, but also traded elixirs with Li Qingyue. As a result, they had more frequent interactions.
The other one is Wang Tiantian, who often comes to play with her, mainly to eat with her. Because of their common interest in eating, the two of them have a much closer relationship.
Just as I was thinking, Wang Tiantian's voice rang out from outside the door, "Xiaoman, I'm here."
"Okay, the gate is not closed, just come in."
Not long after, Wang Tiantian's voice greeted Wang Musen and the others in the yard, "Xiaoman, have you signed up for the sect competition?"
"I reported it. Oh, what delicious food did you bring?"
Every time Wang Tiantian came to play with her, she never came empty-handed. She would bring either fresh monster meat, delicious fruits, snacks, etc. Therefore, the relationship between her and Tuanzi was better than that between Wang Musen and Li Qingyue because of the first come first served.
"The flower cakes my sister brought back are so delicious. They're not even available in Andu City."
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he turned around to look, "You're not from Andu City? Is your sister back?"
"Well, she came back yesterday. She traveled quite a distance this time."
Wang Tiantian has an older sister who is an inner disciple of the main peak. She is said to have three spiritual roots and has now reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. This time she is on a team going out on a mission and will be away for more than half a year.
She pulled a chair and sat down, telling Lin Xiaoman about what she had heard from her sister about the outside world, while eating the flower cake with Lin Xiaoman, enjoying it very much.
"Hmm, it's delicious and smells so good." Lin Xiaoman took a bite and exclaimed in praise. Although she could cook some ordinary meals, she couldn't make desserts or snacks.
"Right, right? This is a specialty of Baihua City. It's the best-selling flower cake there. It's a pity that we can't buy too much, otherwise I would have asked my sister to buy a hundred or so."
Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There are only about a hundred servings. How can we finish them? They will go bad if we keep them for too long."
"Hey, dear sister, now that I have some, I'll definitely share some with you. There are also dumplings, she's sure to like them too. Give some to my brothers and sisters, there aren't many left."
"When I have the chance to go to Baihua City in the future, I will definitely try one there. It must taste great."
The flower cakes that are still hot out of the pan must be even more fragrant. I can't help swallowing my saliva when I think about it.
"Yeah, that's right. We'll eat together then, and bring Tuanzi along. Oh, your Tuanzi is so strange. He's so smart and looks like a monster, but he hasn't been able to form a contract with me for so long. It's really strange."
Lin Xiaoman frowned and looked outside the house. She also felt strange. She saw that Tuanzi liked to catch field mice, insects, etc. in the fields, so she thought of making a contract with Tuanzi and letting her go out to play whenever she wanted. It would not be good to keep her in the yard all the time.
However, she took out the equal contract that she had bought at a high price and used it to make a contract with Tuanzi, but it was completely useless. The contract could not enter Tuanzi's body.
After much research, Lin Xiaoman even went to exchange it for an ordinary contract, but still failed. In the end, there was no choice but to give up and just keep it.
"Just let her be like this, it's fine."
"Then if you go out in the future, Tuanzi won't be able to fit into the spirit beast bag. It will be inconvenient to take her with you when you go out. If she gets lost, you won't be able to find her."
"I won't be going out anytime soon, so I don't want to think too much."
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you also sign up for the sect competition? If you advance, you might be able to participate in the Tianjiao Conference in five years."
Lin Xiaoman laughed out loud, finished a flower cake, stood up and continued cooking, "Me? Forget it, I won't dream about that."
Just join in the fun, watch how others fight, and learn from them.
Wang Tiantian was just talking. She also felt that it was a pipe dream for them to advance in this sect competition. It was simply impossible.
After the meal was ready, several people sat together in the yard to eat and drink, it was very lively.
Although he felt that he would only be a bystander in this sect competition, Lin Xiaoman still practiced seriously in the following month, drew talismans carefully, and made good preparations.
On the day of the sect competition, the entire Tianyan Sect was bustling with activity, as if everyone had walked out of their own courtyards and gathered in the martial arts training ground.
Lin Xiaoman stood in the martial arts training ground, looking at the crowds of people, and marveled, "Oh my God, there are so many people in our Tianyan Sect."
As expected, a big factory is a big factory. Half a big event can let people see how many workers are on the production line.
"That's nothing. There are still many seniors who haven't come out of retreat yet, or are on missions outside. However, because of the sect competition this time, many senior brothers and sisters have returned, and we can also see the battles of seniors in the Foundation Establishment stage."
expect!
Everyone stood in the square in their respective peaks, waiting for the Sect Master and other sect leaders to arrive and then announce the activities, ah no, the competition rules and rewards of the sect competition, etc.
Lin Xiaoman participated in so many similar activities in his previous life that he knew the procedures by heart. He even thought that the world of cultivating immortals should be a little different.
Well, it is indeed different. When the leader of the world of immortal cultivation speaks on the stage, he doesn't need a microphone. His voice can resound throughout the entire square and no one can unclearly hear it.
