The disciples nodded in agreement, found a relatively safe place to sit down, and began to rest.
Qing Xuanzi also sat to the side, closing his eyes to rest. He calculated the number of talismans used today, and then considered the remaining ones. He felt that they were being used up too quickly. More than fifty talismans had been used up in just one day. It seemed that he would have to shorten his rest time and save half of them to replenish the talismans.
Two hours later, Qing Xuanzi got up, took out his talisman-drawing tools, and began to draw the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, which consumed the most talismans.
The other disciples followed suit, and by dawn, they had replenished some talismans. Although they couldn't keep up with the consumption, they could at least make up for it.
As dawn broke, after consuming the fasting pills, everyone continued to wander within the demon-sealing array, searching for cracks and eliminating demonic spirits...
Meanwhile, Rong Jiaojiao finished her nightly cultivation in her room and began her daily training...
A few days later, Rong Jiaojiao received a message from Leng Boyun, asking if she had any difficulties that required help.
She remembered that there was still a small portion of land outside her master's courtyard that hadn't been occupied by bamboo, so she decided to plant some medicinal herbs there.
So he replied to Leng Boyun: "Grandmaster, this disciple desires various kinds of spiritual herb seeds."
And that was it. Rong Jiaojiao was confused and thought that her master didn't want her to waste her energy. But the next evening, Leng Tianyou brought her a large bag of seeds, which contained about a hundred kinds of spiritual herb seeds.
Rong Jiaojiao was overjoyed. She asked Leng Tianyou, "Thank you, Junior Nephew Tianyou. Did you buy these spiritual herb seeds from the Cultivation Alliance?"
Leng Tianyou shook his head: "It was your great-grandfather who changed it for you."
He looked around and saw that Rong Jiaojiao only had a small open space outside the courtyard, so he advised, "Junior Uncle, I think you should not plant it. It's a waste of seeds and time."
Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile, "I just wanted something to relieve my boredom when I was tired of cultivating. Consider it spending spirit stones to please my mind and body."
Leng Tianyou thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped trying to dissuade him and said, "Alright then, Junior Uncle, if you need any help, just ask."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Nephew Tianyou, I will. By the way, how many spirit stones are the seeds?"
Leng Tianyou scratched his head and said, "My great-grandfather didn't say anything, so he definitely didn't want your spirit stones."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, not arguing much about it. She figured she could just think of him if she needed anything in the future.
Leng Tianyou said, "Junior Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"Thank you, Junior Nephew Tianyou, I'm alright now!" Rong Jiaojiao said with a smile, her tone filled with gratitude.
Leng Tianyou nodded, waved goodbye to Rong Jiaojiao, and turned to leave.
Rong Jiaojiao watched his departing figure disappear into the distance before turning back into the courtyard to begin preparing to plant medicinal herbs.
To go all the way, she decided to tidy up the land outside the courtyard and then plant various medicinal herbs according to the planting manual sent by Leng Boyun.
With a few turns of her earth-turning talismans, the land, which had been overgrown with weeds, instantly became soft and flat, and the fragrance of soil filled the air.
After several deep tillings, all the bamboo roots that had extended out were picked out. Then the land was divided into small plots, and a kind of medicinal herb was planted in each plot.
Instead of planting herbs that take a long time to mature, she planted the medicinal herbs needed for low-grade spirit-replenishing pills and hemostatic pills.
These medicinal herbs are not only easy to grow, but also have a short growth cycle, allowing for a quick harvest. Even if there is no harvest, the loss is minimal.
After finishing planting the seeds in the courtyard, Rong Jiaojiao couldn't wait to activate the array and take Ziling into the small secret realm. She planted half of each of the remaining seeds in the small secret realm, leaving the other half to deal with any questions about the seeds.
Although these medicinal herb seeds were not enough to fill the small secret realm, Rong Jiaojiao did not plan to continue searching for medicinal herb seeds.
She devoted all her energy to cultivation and the practice of magic, the making of talismans, and the cultivation of spiritual herbs.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. After focusing on soul cultivation talismans during this period, Rong Jiaojiao has mastered the void drawing of intermediate talismans, but she has not yet experimented on intermediate talisman paper.
Moreover, drawing this intermediate-level talisman consumes a great deal of divine sense. Even with her current divine sense, which is comparable to that of a mage, she only managed to draw five talismans before consuming two-thirds of it.
Not only that, Rong Jiaojiao also learned to draw talismans for cultivation using her divine sense. She even tried it on Zi Ling. The talismans drawn with her divine sense had the same effect, but their power was weaker than those drawn with divine sense.
Early in the morning, Rong Jiaojiao got dressed and came outside the courtyard, ready to go out.
Just then, Du Qingshuang's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "Junior Sister Jiaojiao, are you ready yet? If you don't come soon, we'll have to set off."
"They're here, they're here!" Rong Jiaojiao responded as she picked up Ziling and ran out quickly. Today, Leng Tianyou was taking them to the Xuanxiu Alliance Market.
Du Qingshuang stood outside the courtyard and saw Rong Jiaojiao running out carrying Ziling. She smiled and said, "Junior sister, you're so fast. I thought you were going to dawdle for a while."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "We're going to the market today, how could I possibly be late?"
Du Qingshuang nodded and said, "That's good. Senior Brother Tianyou is already waiting for us in the teleportation hall. Let's go there quickly."
The two quickly arrived at the teleportation hall and saw that there were still many people standing around Leng Tianyou. Among them, Rong Jiaojiao recognized Leng Tianqi and Yuan Yunfei. They were clearly waiting for everyone to gather before teleporting away together.
When Leng Tianyou saw them coming, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Junior Uncle, Junior Sister Qingshuang, you've arrived."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
A cold snort came: "Knowing someone was waiting, why didn't you come sooner? You made everyone wait for you."
Rong Jiaojiao looked up and saw Yuan Yunfei looking at her with disgust. Rong Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and didn't want to say a word to her.
He turned to Leng Tianyou and asked, "Isn't everyone here yet?"
Leng Tianyou shook his head: "And there's Senior Brother Han Shuli and the others. We can leave once they all arrive."
Du Qingshuang pulled Rong Jiaojiao over to a senior brother and introduced him, "Junior Sister Jiaojiao, this is my senior uncle's disciple, Hu Buwei."
Hu Buwei was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat aloof and arrogant air about her, but her voice was gentle as she said, "Greetings, Junior Sister Rong. I've heard of you for a long time, and it's great to meet you today. You are indeed extraordinary!"
Rong Jiaojiao...
Why does this tone of greeting sound so strange?
She didn't have time to delve into it, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Senior Brother Hu!"
Hu Buwei returned Rong Jiaojiao's smile, but Rong Jiaojiao felt his smile was strange. However, she didn't sense any malice, so she pulled Du Qingshuang aside to talk.
The way the two were chatting and laughing annoyed Yuan Yunfei.
The girl next to her tugged at her arm, but she angrily shook her off. The girl wasn't angry; instead, she comforted her, saying, "She's from out of town and doesn't know any manners. Let's not stoop to her level."
