Chapter 12 Oh my God, Senior Sister Li thinks too highly of her

In the following days, Lin Xiaoman went to and from school every day.

After practicing in Yuehe Village for a night, she got up early and went to the fields to practice the Spirit Rain Technique and the Five Elements Technique. She still had to farm, as this was her food supply for the next year.

Then after breakfast she would run to the market and sit in the talisman shop all day. Every day she would practice with discarded talisman paper first, and then use good talisman paper to draw talismans. She would stop after wasting 9 pieces of talisman paper.

After a few days, the 100 talisman papers given to her by the shop were almost used up, with only the last 5 left.

Lin Xiaoman took the five talismans, sat down, and took a deep breath.

"If I don't succeed, I will die. I must succeed this time."

She felt that the next one would be successful, although she had felt this way many times before...

She had already adjusted her breathing enough, and now was the time when her spiritual power was at its most abundant. The discarded talisman papers that Tang Chengchao had given her had been used up, and while the feel of the talisman paper was still there, Lin Xiaoman prepared to try it out with the good talisman paper.

Closing her eyes and quieting her mind, Lin Xiaoman cleared her mind of all distractions. She grabbed a pen and drew the Speed ​​Talisman in her mind. After making sure that everything was alright, she opened her eyes and quickly put pen to paper, following the structure in her mind.

This was after she failed too many times, and she used the modeling structure she learned as a modern person to draw talismans. Although she still failed later, her failure was later.

For example, when she used the method taught by Li Ling or the method written in the talisman book to draw talismans, she would fail at most halfway through. But after using the method she understood, she could persist for three-quarters of the way.

She outlined one structure after another and drew it on the talisman paper. The talisman pen in her hand kept moving, and the spiritual power floated with the talisman pen. In the end, beads of sweat were already appearing on Lin Xiaoman's forehead, and the spiritual power in her body was surging crazily onto the talisman paper. She felt that it was almost exhausted and was trembling all over.

You can’t give up now, Lin Xiaoman, hold on, victory is just around the corner!!!

Lin Xiaoman's vision was blurred by sweat, and the last bit of spiritual power was drawn out. Suddenly, he felt his whole body relax and a flash of inspiration came to him.

Done? !!!

Lin Xiaoman didn't care about her fatigue. Her eyes lit up and she quickly sat up straight, wiped the sweat from her face, and looked carefully.

"Hahahahaha, it's done, it's done!"

Looking at the talisman on the table that was glowing with spiritual light, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help laughing wildly. He jumped up and down while grabbing the talisman paper, wanting to find Li Ling to share his joy.

"Senior Sister Li, Senior Sister Li, I succeeded. I drew it. I drew it."

Li Ling happened to be resting at the moment. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up and came over. "Really? So soon?"

Back then, when she was learning the Speed ​​Talisman, she wasted more than 200 pieces of talisman paper before she was able to succeed with just one.

Lin Xiaoman carefully handed the talisman in his hand to her and said, "Senior Sister Li, I have wasted so many pieces of talisman paper."

Li Ling took it and looked at it, smiling, "It worked. It is indeed a speed talisman."

Lin Xiaoman burst into laughter when she heard this. That was great, she finally finished the painting.

"So am I considered a talisman master now?"

"Well, since you can draw the Speed ​​Talisman, even though it's a Yellow Rank Primary Talisman, you can still be considered a Talisman Master."

"Very good."

"Let's go see Senior Yuan and tell him the good news."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xiaoman knew that there was a huge difference between an apprentice who could draw talismans and one who couldn't. She used to be an apprentice with a monthly salary of 300 spirit beads, but in the future she could be a regular employee with a monthly salary of 600 spirit beads.

Sure enough, when Senior Yuan saw the speed symbol drawn by Lin Xiaoman, a smile appeared on his serious poker face.

"That's right. I can give her some of the Speed ​​Runes in the future."

The first two words were said to Lin Xiaoman, and the last two words were said to Li Ling.

Lin Xiaoman knew about the talismans for completing tasks, and she didn't reject it. It was just work, and there would definitely be KPI assessments for work. It was normal.

Li Ling was also happy to have someone to help share the pressure, and nodded quickly. "Yes."

Then he told Li Ling to take Lin Xiaoman to find the shop owner and register the speed talisman that Lin Xiaoman drew, and then her salary would increase!!!

"Right now, you only know how to draw the Speed ​​Talisman. Here are 100 pieces of talisman paper. You must succeed in drawing at least 20 of them. You can practice with the discarded talisman paper Tang Chengchao gave you first."

Back in the room, Li Ling gave Lin Xiaoman a stack of talismans and assigned her a task.

Lin Xiaoman blinked and quickly took it. "Okay."

"Senior Sister Li, do we also have to complete the talismans we use to submit for the mission within a certain amount of talisman paper? What if we can't reach that amount?"

Although she successfully drew the speed talisman, she had to use up 96 pieces of talisman paper to draw one successfully. This success rate... is so low that it can be ignored.

Now Senior Sister Li actually allowed her to successfully use 20 out of 100 talisman papers. Oh my God, Senior Sister Li thinks too highly of her.

Li Ling knew her worries and touched the little guy's head with a smile. He looked so pitiful, being so small.

"Junior Sister Lin is already very impressive. The first time I successfully drew the Speed ​​Talisman, it took me over two hundred pieces of talisman paper."

Lin Xiaoman tilted his head, "But I also used up the stack of talisman paper that Daoist Tang gave me. It's so thick, I don't know how many sheets there are."

She gestured with her hands and found that Tang Chengchao gave her more than two hundred sheets, but she deliberately made them thicker to make it look like she had poor talent and was definitely not as good as Senior Sister Li.

Workplace taboo number five: Don’t show off how great you are in front of your old colleagues!

Sure enough, Li Ling's smile deepened. "It's okay, just keep drawing. Your success rate will improve later. Here, if you can succeed in 15 drawings, that's fine."

Lin Xiaoman secretly made a “Yeah” gesture in his heart!

"Well, I try my best!"

Li Ling nodded with satisfaction. Junior Sister Lin could not share too many tasks with her now. But after she practiced more and her success rate of talismans increased, she could give 200 speed talismans every month to Junior Sister Lin. She would also be able to free up time to practice or draw talismans to earn extra money.

It’s great that this little junior sister came!

Lin Xiaoman didn't know how satisfied Li Ling was, but she was really satisfied. After working in the talisman shop for more than a month, she successfully became a talisman master. Her salary increased, her cultivation level improved, and she felt that her lifespan was increasing every second. This feeling was really great!

After leaving the shop, Lin Xiaoman went to the vegetable market and spent 50 spirit beads to buy a pheasant. Of course, this was also a spirit beast, but it was the lowest level spirit beast with no attack power. Then she bought chestnuts, mushrooms and other things. She wanted to celebrate in the evening by stewing the chicken with mushrooms.

After returning home, Lin Xiaoman started to get busy. The pheasant was processed, cut into pieces and put into the pot. The chestnuts and mushrooms could be added later. A fireball was thrown into the stove to light the fire. The fire was boiled over high heat first. After the chestnuts and mushrooms were added, the fire was simmered over low heat. The fragrance began to waft out.
