Chapter 26 Final

Not long after, the tenth person who successfully drew the talisman appeared, and then the time was up.

"Congratulations! You've made it into the top ten of the Talisman Cultivation category and are now eligible to participate in the finals. The finals will be held in three days. Please arrive at the square on time."

As he spoke, the white-haired old man waved his hand, and with a flash of light, something floated in front of everyone, including Lin Xiaoman.

She reached out to grab it and easily held it in her hand. This should be her reward for getting ninth place.

When I opened it, I saw it was a talisman pen, a yellow-grade intermediate talisman pen. Oh my god, I made a profit!

Lin Xiaoman grinned happily, holding the talisman pen and looking at it over and over again, and then heard someone ask the old man what the talisman they had just drawn was.

"This is the most basic talisman, a sleeping talisman that helps you sleep."

After saying that, the old man smiled and saw them out of the house. When Lin Xiaoman opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the square. There were other people around, but it was not as crowded as at the beginning.

As soon as Lin Xiaoman felt that he was about to be sent away, he quickly put the reward into his bag. With this intermediate yellow-grade talisman pen, Lin Xiaoman believed that he could definitely increase the success rate of the water arrow talisman, and even draw the Vajra talisman.

Wealth should not be shown to others, so good things should be hidden quietly.

As he turned around to look, Lin Xiaoman soon saw Li Qingyue and waved to her.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how is it going? Did you advance? Did you see Lu Youling?"

"I advanced, but I didn't see him. I guess he's still..."

"Hey, I'm here."

As he was speaking, he heard Lu Youling's familiar voice. Turning around, he saw him running towards him from the entrance of the square.

"You all advanced, that's great. It's a pity that I was eliminated."

Although Lu Youling said this, she didn't look disappointed.

"How do you know we advanced?"

Lin Xiaoman did not deny it, but asked curiously while walking out with them.

"It's easy. The eliminated ones came out early. At this time, there are always ten people appearing at a time. They must be the ones who have advanced. You see, there are ten people appearing together, and Li Qingyue is the same."

Li Qingyue nodded and looked at Lin Xiaoman. "The finals will be in three days. Although we don't know what kind of competition it will be, how about we form an alliance and work together?"

Lin Xiaoman blinked and nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, thank you."

"Hey, why are you being so polite? We're all so familiar with each other." Lu Youling bumped into Lin Xiaoman's shoulder and said with a grin, "You all advanced today, so I'll treat you all. I have to comfort my wounded and weak heart."

"Okay, how about I invite you to my house for dinner? I'll cook it myself."

Lin Xiaoman remembered that Lu Youling quite liked the dishes she brought him every time. She wondered whether Li Qingyue liked them.

"Friend Li, do you like spicy food?"

Li Qingyue was a little reserved, paused and nodded. "Not bad."

"Then it's settled. We'll go to Lin Xiaoman's house for dinner after you come back from the finals."

Lu Youling had cheered a long time ago, but she didn't eat today as Lin Xiaoman thought, but decided to eat after the finals. She was stunned for a moment.

Even Li Qingyue was like this. Lu Youling glanced at them and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"What? Do you think I'm so careless? I know you're tired from today's game and you still have to prepare for the game three days later, but I still want to quarrel with you. I won't be that kind of person. My grandfather will criticize me."

The grandfather he was referring to was the uncle he used to call him. It was not known whether it was because they had been together for a long time and had developed feelings for each other, or what, but one day, Lin Xiaoman suddenly discovered that Lu Youling had changed the way he addressed him.

"Okay, then we'll get together again after the game. You can order whatever you want, and I'll definitely find a way to make it."

"Yeah."

The three of them separated when they reached the intersection and went back to their homes.

The shop gave Lin Xiaoman one day off because she was going to participate in the competition. Now that she has advanced, she can continue to take five more days off, but she has to go to the shop to tell them and also report the good news to Senior Yuan and others.

Everyone was very surprised about Lin Xiaoman's advancement, even Senior Yuan had a faint smile on his face.

"Well done, go back and prepare well. Be careful and be safe. Prepare more talismans in the next few days."

Lin Xiaoman was surprised. "Senior Yuan, do you know what the competition will be in three days?"

Yuan Zheng shook his head. "I don't know, but it's pretty much like that. The finals are where all the cultivators compete together, so it definitely isn't about drawing talismans or refining pills. Well, it's always good to have some self-protection measures prepared."

Lin Xiaoman nodded heavily, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Senior Yuan."

Yuan Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Lin Xiaoman left the shop, hesitated for a moment, and then went to buy a spiritual chicken and some mushrooms. Although they needed to be prepared well, he still had to make up for the loss. He still had to eat three meals a day.

After returning home, Lin Xiaoman went to cook first, then went to the field to cast a round of spells. When the stewed chicken was almost ready, he returned home and served out the hot chicken stewed with mushrooms, a bowl of spicy and sour radish, and a bowl of fragrant spiritual rice for himself.

Sitting at the table, Lin Xiaoman took a bite of rice and a bite of chicken. The taste was really super good. When he got tired of it, he took a bite of pickled radish, which was crispy and delicious.

After a hearty meal, the tension and confusion in my heart dissipated.

After packing up, Lin Xiaoman returned to the house, set up the spirit gathering array, and practiced with peace of mind.

In fact, she has already felt the edge of a breakthrough today. She thinks it is during this period of time. She doesn't know if she can succeed before the finals.

It happened that I stayed at home these days, so Lin Xiaoman bought 10 steamed buns before coming back today. I planned to eat steamed buns for the next few days. Today's meal is a comfort meal to reward myself.

After practicing all night, Lin Xiaoman felt that the barrier to breakthrough had become thinner. He breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, stood up, and prepared to start drawing talismans.

Since Senior Yuan said so, she planned to prepare more talismans for herself.

The talismans she could draw now included the speed talisman, the fire bomb talisman, the water arrow talisman, and the immobilization talisman that could protect her in a fight. Because she had to hand in tasks and sell talismans, she always had a lot of speed talismans, fire bomb talismans, and immobilization talismans in her bag. She didn't have many water arrow talismans, and her success rate in drawing talismans was only 30%, so she only had 12 in stock.

Now, she planned to draw more water arrow charms and the sleeping charm she drew during yesterday's competition.

Now that time is running out, she doesn't dare to try out the sleeping talisman herself to see how effective it is, but this talisman is very easy to draw and doesn't consume too much spiritual power, so she plans to prepare some. Of course, she will mainly draw the water arrow talisman.

For the rest of the day, Lin Xiaoman did not leave the room. He kept drawing talismans. When he was tired, he would practice for a while. The spiritual power circulated in his body for a cycle, and everything felt better. Then he would continue drawing.
