Chapter 57 Advanced Spirit Gathering Array

When Tuanzi saw that there were really no more fireworks, he twisted his body and finally was no longer angry. He ran to his nest to sleep.

"Xiao Man, I'm going back now. Thank you for your fireworks charm today. I'll plant some vegetables for you tomorrow."

After saying that, he jumped back without waiting for Lin Xiaoman to reply.

Lin Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, then performed four or five cleaning spells in succession to clean up the yard before returning to the house.

After practicing all night, Lin Xiaoman prepared a table full of food the next morning, which he then packed separately, ready to eat for three consecutive days.

With the storage bag, it can keep the food fresh and warm, so there is no need to worry about it changing taste or the temperature dropping.

Of course, the cat Dumpling had no choice but to eat like her, because Lin Xiaoman was really pressed for time. There were only nine days left, and she had to draw the talisman quickly to hand in the "task".

In order to draw talismans, Lin Xiaoman used all the time she would have spent on sword practice to draw talismans. Of course, the time for cultivation cannot be shortened. Cultivation is the foundation of her foothold in this world, and this can never and will not change.

She painted from morning till night, using spirit stones to restore her spiritual energy when it was depleted. She even used a spirit gathering array, finding that it increased her ability to draw talismans and shortened the time it took to recover. When she felt dizzy and her vision went black, Lin Xiaoman would quickly close her eyes to rest and recover, repeating the cycle over and over again, as if she couldn't sense the passage of time.

After finishing the food in the storage bag three times in a row, Lin Xiaoman knew that he had drawn nine talismans in a row. Tomorrow was the day to go to the talisman shop to work, and also the day to go to the north gate to hand over the talisman to Wang Musen.

However, she has already drawn 872 talismans these days, plus the previous stock, which is more than enough for Wang Musen, and there are still some left. The most important thing is that the success rate of her intermediate water arrow talismans has increased from 60% to 70%, and the distance her mental power can sense is no longer 30 meters, but 35 meters.

It seems that working overtime has many benefits besides earning some spirit stones. Although my cultivation level has not improved, my self-protection ability has increased a little bit.

"Ah, finally, I'm finally done."

Lin Xiaoman yelled and lay back with her head tilted back. The soft quilt gave her immense comfort. Tuanzi heard the sound, jumped over, and nestled into her arms. She stroked the cat, which made her even happier.

"Tuanzi, that's great. Can you take a little rest today? I've worked so hard for so long, I deserve a good sleep."

As he was talking, he fell asleep.

The next day when he went to work, Lin Xiaoman went to find Lu Youling first and brought him a plate of roasted pig ribs, which were delicious whether stewed or braised. Although Lu Youling couldn't cook, his grandfather seemed to be quite good at it.

"Happy New Year! Here's the meat of a first-level demon beast, the roasted pig beast. It tastes delicious."

“Wow, did you go to Mo Qingshan?”

Lu Youling was pleasantly surprised and quickly took it, then handed Lin Xiaoman a bag. "Here, these are some dried fish my grandfather made for your Tuanzi, and some Lingyun fruit, produced by the Tianyan Sect."

Sai Lin Xiaoman held the food in her hand, urged her to put it away quickly, and then handed Lin Xiaoman a meat bun. "Let me tell you, I originally thought you would come to my house during the New Year. My grandfather is looking forward to it. Knowing that you like to eat, he is ready to show off his cooking skills."

Lin Xiaoman scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Another day, I'll visit you another day. I'm really too busy. I've been drawing talismans these days."

The previously agreed plan to visit each other to wish each other a happy new year was cancelled because of Wang Musen and his team's order for talismans.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. My grandfather said you must have been delayed by something and there was nothing he could do."

Lu Youling said this while smiling and raised her chin towards Lin Xiaoman, "Have you noticed any changes in me?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoman looked at him carefully and couldn't help but smile happily, "Congratulations, you've reached the first level of the Qi Refining Stage."

Lu Youling smiled so brightly that his teeth were all white. "Hahahaha, my grandfather gave me several Lingyun fruits during the Chinese New Year. This one has more spiritual energy than the Lingshe fruit, and tastes better too. If you eat more, you might even achieve a breakthrough."

Lin Xiaoman curved her lips and nodded heavily, "Yes, I understand."

She did feel that she was one step closer to a breakthrough, or rather, she had already sensed how far the breakthrough was from now. Unlike before, when it felt like the bucket of water would never be filled to the limit, now it seemed that she was already more than halfway to the point of being full.

The two chatted for a few minutes and agreed on the next time to visit Lu Youling's home. Lin Xiaoman then went to the shop. On the first day of work in the new year, Senior Yuan gave each of them a small red envelope. Although it was not much, it was enough to buy a few meat buns to eat.

During the holiday, Lin Xiaoman drew too many talismans and felt a little lazy today. He procrastinated all day and only drew 38 talismans. When he got off work, Lin Xiaoman was ashamed of his efficiency and hurried to the gate of Beifang City to wait for Wang Musen.

"Junior Sister Lin, I've been waiting for a long time."

After a while, Wang Musen arrived. The two of them still didn't say much and directly traded talismans.

In this round of transactions, Lin Xiaoman did not want any exchange materials for the time being, and earned 2,400 spirit stones, becoming rich overnight.

"Brother Wang, I heard that the Lingyun Fruit from your sect is not only delicious, but also full of spiritual energy, which is very beneficial for cultivation?"

Wang Musen smiled and nodded when he heard this. "Yes, it's not bad. The Lingyun Fruit is considered to be one of the better first-level Lingyun Fruits. Do you want it? One Lingshi for two Lingyun Fruits."

Lin Xiaoman was surprised. This was quite expensive, much more expensive than the snake fruit.

"I don't need it for now. I'll buy this from my senior brother next time."

"Okay, let's contact the Immortal Friends Circle."

Lin Xiaoman was in a very good mood after receiving a large sum of money. All the fatigue from the past few days disappeared in an instant, and he immediately ran to Duobao Pavilion.

"Do you still want this elementary spirit gathering array?"

"It's for recycling. Yours has been damaged by 50%. The recycling price is 40 spirit stones."

Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched. Wow, she bought it for 100 spirit stones, and in less than half a year, she lost 60 spirit stones.

It hurts, but there's no point in keeping it because she wants to buy a mid-level spirit gathering array, and she's rich now, so this little bit of spirit stones is just a drop in the bucket.

"Okay, and please help me get a high-level spirit gathering array."

"OK."

Look at how calm the waiter at Duobao Pavilion was. He didn't even react when he heard that she wanted to buy an advanced spirit gathering array that cost 1,000 spirit stones.

After buying the spirit gathering array, Lin Xiaoman returned home and celebrated with Tuanzi. When he returned to his room, he finally didn't have to draw talismans. Lin Xiaoman excitedly took out the high-level spirit gathering array and set it up. He placed five spirit stones to activate the array and immediately felt rich spiritual energy gathering towards him.

Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath. It was indeed an advanced spirit gathering array. It was much better than the primary one.

In fact, if it wasn't for the breakthrough, if it wasn't because she sensed that she was not far from a breakthrough, she wouldn't have gritted her teeth and bought a high-level spirit gathering array at this time. She would have bought an intermediate one first.
