Qingyou followed Qu Xiuxiang and her husband for most of the day, and then saw them enter a residential area.

Along the way, she noticed that Qu Xiuxiang and her husband's car had not been attacked by zombies.

Upon closer inspection, a talisman was found affixed to the two people's car.

Qingyou immediately understood that this must be the invisibility talisman that Qu Xiuxiang and Xiling Jun had exchanged.

The original owner had memories of how Qu Xiuxiang and her companion later used an invisibility talisman to assassinate the strongest ability user at the Kyoto base.

An invisibility charm can be used three times; this should be their first time using it.

Qingyou was very interested in drawing talismans in the previous world, and she learned everything from the system's knowledge base and what her master taught her.

So she tagged Xilingjun in the group chat.

Apocalypse Yuzu: Lord Xiling, I'm very interested in talismans. Do you have any? I'll trade you the water I gave you in the red envelopes before; I can give you a hundred bottles.

Immortal Cultivator Xilingjun: Sure, I happen to have a book on talisman techniques. I'll make a copy on the jade slip and send it to you right away.

Then he sent a red envelope to Qingyou.

After receiving the money, Qingyou immediately sent him a red envelope as well.

After thinking for a moment, she reminded her again.

Apocalypse Pomelo: Lord Xiling, you can try using this water to water your spirit flowers and herbs and see how it goes.

She knew that spiritual spring water could promote plant growth, but she didn't know if it could promote the growth of spiritual plants in the cultivation world, so she asked the other party to give it a try.

Lord Xiling was taken aback when he saw these words.

He originally intended to use this water to calm his mind when he felt agitated during his secluded cultivation, so it also served to water the spiritual flowers and herbs.

He is an alchemist who usually needs a lot of spiritual plants, and he has also cultivated a medicinal herb garden.

If this water is useful for the spiritual plants, that would be wonderful.

Immortal Cultivator Xilingjun: Okay, I'll go try it right away.

After sending the message, he took three bottles of spring water to the herb garden and watered three different plants of the same type of spiritual herb, each of different ages and grades.

I plan to observe the situation carefully for a while afterward.

When Qu Xiuxiang saw the notification sound in the group, she opened the panel and saw that Qingyou and Xilingjun had asked for talisman red envelopes.

She frowned and told Shu Hengming about it, "Why did she suddenly ask for the talisman? Could it be that she knows I exchanged an invisibility talisman with Xiling Jun before?"

Shu Hengming asked, "After you join the group, can you view the previous chat history?"

Qu Xiuxiang shook her head, "No."

She tried joining the group back then.

Shu Hengming thought for a moment and said, "That might be a coincidence. Qingyou used to like drawing, so maybe she wants to try drawing talismans now."

He asked, "Does she have the cultivation technique that Xiling Jun wants to practice?"

Qu Xiuxiang said, "No."

Shu Hengming laughed and said, "That's right. She doesn't want the cultivation method, so she can't cultivate spiritual power. Even if she draws a talisman, it won't have much effect."

"So it's unlikely they would know you changed your invisibility talisman."

"As for you, you could exchange some talisman techniques with Lord Xiling, and we could try to see if we can learn to draw talismans ourselves."

The invisibility talisman was so effective that I didn't encounter any zombie attacks after applying it. I didn't ask any survivors for help either, which means I couldn't see them.

Unfortunately, a talisman can only be used three times. They had just taken it out and tried it once, and now he felt it was a waste.

If we also ask for a red envelope with a talisman skill, it would be even better if they could learn it themselves.

Otherwise, exchanging red envelopes for talismans would be too expensive; they previously spent a hundred level-two crystal cores to exchange for one.

There must be other talismans in the talisman jade slip; learning them together would definitely be very effective.

Hearing him say that, Qu Xiuxiang understood what he meant.

Her eyes lit up. "That's right, I can also ask Lord Xiling to exchange it."

The couple had previously requested a cultivation technique and were currently at the first level of Qi Refining, about to break through to the second level.

Not only did they possess strength comparable to a level three ability user, but they also activated their respective abilities.

They felt more deeply that everyone in the cultivation world was a good person, since they hadn't awakened any special abilities in their previous lives and were just ordinary people.

Otherwise, with her husband's intelligence, how could he have lost to Shu Qingyou and her brother?

So she also tagged Xilingjun.

Apocalypse Fragrance: Lord Xiling, I also want a jade slip with talismanic powers.

Immortal Cultivator Xilingjun: What would you like to exchange for it?

Apocalypse Xiangxiang: Let's exchange it for one hundred level-two crystal cores.

After she finished speaking, she felt a pang of regret. They had only collected more than three hundred level-two zombie crystal cores after reaching the first level of Qi Refining.

They had previously used a hundred talismans to exchange for other talismans, and then spent several dozen more on cultivation.

She felt a little regretful, wondering if she had said too much.

After all, those talisman manuals were something that Lord Xiling could easily copy for them using jade slips; it was no trouble at all.

Lord Xiling was speechless upon seeing these words.

Previously, a talisman cost 100 crystal cores, but now a talisman manual is being traded by Xiangxiang in the apocalypse for something of equal value. What is she thinking?

He had previously noticed that this post-apocalyptic Xiangxiang liked to take advantage of others, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

After all, the things he gave the other party were all low-level items that they couldn't use, and he discovered that the crystal core had a boosting effect when used to assist in alchemy.

However, even level one or two crystal cores can only assist in refining low-level pills; he himself cannot use them.

On the contrary, the water given to him by the apocalypse pomelo was helpful to him.

This led to a comparison with the post-apocalyptic pomelo, and he developed a dislike for this post-apocalyptic fragrance.

Although Xiling Jun was only at the Core Formation stage, he was a renowned genius, and his grandfather was a Nascent Soul stage ancestor of the sect, so he developed a very unrestrained and carefree personality.

If you don't like it, you naturally won't give them face.

Immortal Cultivator Xilingjun: No trade!
