Chapter 80 Genius is indeed her illusion

Lin Xiaoman nodded with a smile, "It's over. This year's mission is also completed."

She felt relaxed all over now. Now she had obtained so much monster meat, and 150 kilograms of third-level monster venison. Just thinking about it made her feel that it must taste great.

Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated when she heard this and exchanged glances with Wang Musen.

"Well, we're already so familiar with each other, Junior Sister Lin. This is what's going on. We went to the Misty Forest this time and found a place with red star stones. Qifeng just happened to have issued a quest like this. If you complete it, you can reserve a high-level spiritual weapon from Qifeng."

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "High-level spiritual weapon?"

The spirit sword she bought in Andu City for 200 spirit stones was only a primary spirit weapon. She felt that the sword was already quite good. If she had a high-level spirit sword, wouldn't her strength increase greatly?

"Yes, you don't know how difficult it is to queue up if we go to Weapon Peak to order spiritual weapons, and it's very expensive. If we complete this mission, we only need to pay 70% of the spiritual stones or points."

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "Yes, I was originally going to Weapon Peak to reserve a spiritual sword this time. It just so happened that when we were on a mission in the Misty Forest, we saw a place with red star stones. It was also on the outskirts of the Misty Forest, and there were only a few first and second level monsters around. So I thought of forming a team to go dig for red star stones together."

Looking at Lin Xiaoman, she said seriously, "Junior Sister Lin, I'd like to invite you to come with us. The three of us should have no problem dealing with those first and second level monsters."

Lin Xiaoman hesitated, it was better to have fewer people, but the strength was not as strong, which was also dangerous.

Furthermore, she planned to take on as many missions within the sect as possible, not go out, and focus on cultivation and drawing talismans. While enjoying life, she would improve her cultivation and prolong her life, striving to break through the foundation-building stage within thirty years, which would give her a lifespan of two hundred years!!!

Therefore, she was not really interested in going out to do missions. The temptation of high-level spiritual weapons was indeed great, but she could draw more talismans and sell spiritual stones. Reservations required waiting in line, and she had plenty of time to wait.

Wang Musen suddenly spoke up, "Junior Sister Lin, you might not know this yet, but in five years, there will be a sect competition. All disciples must participate. Not only will there be various rewards, but if you perform well, you can even become an inner disciple from an outer disciple."

Lin Xiaoman opened his eyes wide in surprise. Come on, come on. Isn’t this just the year-end performance evaluation of my unit in my previous life? The only difference is that in this world, I have to rely on my own strength to fight my way up.

"Five years."

"Yes, Junior Sister Lin, don't you want to go to a place with richer spiritual energy to practice? After entering the inner sect, perhaps you can be favored by an elder and accepted as a disciple."

"Yes, I have noticed that Junior Sister Lin is focused on drawing talismans and practicing. However, if she is too weak in actual combat, she will suffer in her future travels."

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and tried to persuade her. She sincerely felt that Junior Sister Lin couldn't stay like this for long. If she stayed in the sect for a long time, there would be no danger, but it would be difficult to improve her cultivation level.

Lin Xiaoman frowned, "Do all disciples of the sect have to travel?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao was helpless. She knew it was inevitable. Besides, there would be a competition among the major sects in ten years, and they would have to go into the Misty Forest to hunt monsters.

Lin Xiaoman's face changed slightly. My goodness, she had been in this world for so long, practicing for so long, and now she knew she would have to go to the battlefield?!

Help! She just wants to live hundreds or thousands of years. She doesn't want to spend the rest of her life fighting and killing.

"Junior Sister Lin, although we haven't known each other for long, I can see that you probably just want to spend your days drawing talismans within the sect. However, if you want to draw high-quality talismans, you need to improve your cultivation. If you just keep working in isolation, it will be difficult to improve your cultivation in the future."

After a pause, she continued, "So within the sect, many disciples travel outside or complete missions to improve their strength in battle."

Although Lin Xiaoman didn't quite agree with Zhang Xiaoxiao's point of view, what she said made sense, so she gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Okay, I'll take this mission. I hope I won't hold you back."

Zhang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, Junior Brother Wang and I have checked. There are no more powerful monsters over there. The three of us can handle it."

Lin Xiaoman nodded. She didn't plan to disrupt her training plan for the time being, but it was okay to go out with others occasionally to gain experience and complete tasks. This would prevent her from being in a panic when encountering monsters in the future and eventually becoming their food.

"Okay, when do we leave?"

If it could be later, she could also draw more of Master Wu's new talisman. Although she hadn't tested its effect yet, she felt that the power of this talisman was probably even greater than the fireball talisman.

"How about five days later?"

Lin Xiaoman nodded. "Okay."

After they left, Lin Xiaoman hurried to the study to draw talismans. She had to increase the success rate of new talismans, and she also had to draw more talismans in the next few days. Fortunately, she had not relaxed in drawing talismans in the past month, and now she had accumulated quite a few.

The next day, Lin Xiaoman went to class early and received a month's supply of steamed buns.

This time, Zhang Xiaoxiao failed to get a place in the course. Lin Xiaoman casually sat in an empty seat. When Master Wu came over and asked someone to come forward to draw talismans, Lin Xiaoman still went forward calmly.

But she was not sure in her heart. Although she drew 10 new talismans yesterday, the success rate was only 30%.

But when she was drawing today, she failed repeatedly and ultimately failed to draw it, missing out on 10 points... It turned out that genius was just her illusion!

Lin Xiaoman was not disappointed. He returned to his seat and listened to Master Wu talking about the talisman. It was indeed a talisman with strong offensive power, a high-level yellow-grade talisman called the Thorn Talisman.

Everyone was surprised after hearing the name and the effect of the talisman, but Master Wu seemed to be uninterested. He shook his head and after he finished speaking, he waved his hand and placed a talisman in the air for them to see.

Lin Xiaoman was well prepared. She hurriedly looked at it carefully and tried to memorize the talisman. She had no time to learn how to draw this talisman recently, so she wrote it down first and would draw it after returning from the Misty Forest.

This time, she only had 10 points. Although she wanted to earn more, she wanted to learn new talismans more. Things had their priorities. Right now, the most important thing for her was to prepare for the task in five days, so she could only write down this new talisman for the time being and draw it after she came back.

I don’t know if it’s because her mental strength has greatly increased, or because the level of the talisman today is not high enough, but when Lin Xiaoman returned to her yard this time, her mental state was pretty good. She took another Purple Spirit Pill, and her head only felt a little tingling. She could even cook dinner.

"Tuanzi, come here, this is the third-level monster meat. It must be very delicious."

Lin Xiaoman specially made roasted venison in the evening. After taking a bite, he could feel the spiritual energy contained in it. The fresh and tender taste, combined with the barbecue aroma, was absolutely amazing!

It still needs to be a third-level monster.
