Rong Jiaojiao nodded, smiled slightly, and then circulated her spiritual power to conceal her cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Mage realm.
She knew that this was her master's way of keeping her out of the spotlight and avoiding unnecessary trouble.
The two left the room and went to the courtyard of Xuanqingzhai.
There were seven martial arts uncles practicing in the courtyard. When they saw Rong Jiaojiao come out, they all showed kind smiles.
"Congratulations on your breakthrough in cultivation, junior disciple!" a senior disciple said with a smile.
He thought that Rong Jiaojiao's cultivation level had broken through from the early stage of the Mage Realm to the middle stage of the Mage Realm, and he admired Rong Jiaojiao's talent.
Rong Jiaojiao recognized the man; his name was Qiu Mian. She thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Qiu!"
Qiu Mian smiled and asked, "Jiaojiao has extraordinary talent, cultivate diligently!"
"Yes, Uncle-Master!"
Qing Xuanzi smiled, a hint of pride in his eyes. He introduced Rong Jiaojiao from right to left: "Yu Linfeng, Qu Qiao, you've met them before. Wang Furong, Liu Yang, Li Hu, Shi Wei, these are the only ones here for now."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded and greeted them one by one, and everyone offered their congratulations in return.
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please continue. I'll take Jiaojiao to have breakfast."
On the way, Rong Jiaojiao asked softly, "Master, what am I supposed to do next?"
Qing Xuanzi asked her, "Do you want to go on a training trip?"
"I want to, but didn't you forbid me from revealing my cultivation level?"
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "Go to your senior sister's place. You don't need to hide your cultivation level from her. Just ask her to take you with her when she goes out."
"Would my senior master agree?"
"Definitely!"
"But Master, after I joined the government department with my senior brother, didn't I lose my freedom?"
Qing Xuanzi tapped him on the forehead and said, "You're too young to get in even if you wanted to. Besides, I never said I'd let you into a government department."
"So what do you mean?"
"You should just stay by your master's side and gain some experience!"
Rong Jiaojiao covered her forehead and said, "Oh, I see. But Master, I still want to see my second brother."
"You can go see your second brother first, and then go to Haishi."
Rong Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Qing Xuanzi expectantly: "Master, will I not need to ask someone to take me out again in the future?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "You have already reached the Xuan Master realm. According to the sect rules, it is time for you to begin your own training."
Rong Jiaojiao asked curiously, "Master, did you also start your mortal training right after breaking through to the Xuan Master realm?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded!
How old were you then?
"I think I'm in my mid-thirties, but I can't quite remember."
Rong Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? Aren't you a genius?"
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "Master can't be considered a genius in cultivation, only an average talent. It's just that his comprehension of talismans is a bit stronger than others."
Rong Jiaojiao asked in distress, "Master, is my cultivation progressing too fast?"
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "You have good talent to begin with, and your cultivation has been built up little by little. Your foundation is solid and stable, so you don't need to worry about anything else."
"It's just that you were lucky enough to have a magical artifact and find rare and precious materials to aid your cultivation, which is why you were able to cultivate so quickly."
"As long as you continue to cultivate step by step in this way, refining your cultivation to perfection before breaking through, there will be no problem."
"Yes, Master!"
"Oh right, I haven't asked Master how his sea of consciousness is injured yet."
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "Your injuries have almost fully recovered. I guarantee you'll be able to use your divine sense after the New Year."
"However, it will take at least another year to recover before going out."
"That's good!"
The two ate some breakfast casually and then returned to Xuanqingzhai. Qingxuanzi pushed out his bicycle and said, "Come on, Master will take you to exchange the talisman paper."
Sitting on the back of the bicycle, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "What will Master give in exchange?"
"You can exchange your refined pills, talismans, and any extra spiritual herbs you have."
Rong Jiaojiao was taking stock of her belongings. The pills were all basic ones, including fasting pills, healing pills, mind-clearing pills, and hemostatic powders.
There are also many talismans, such as exorcism talismans, protection talismans, and healing talismans, with the most common being the blazing flame talisman and the thunder talisman.
Of course, there are also Soul Talismans and Spatial Attack Talismans, but these two cannot be exchanged; she wants to keep them as her trump cards.
Of course, there were also quite a few spiritual herbs, but she wanted to save those for practice.
She told Qing Xuanzi the quantity of the items and said, "Master, I think I have enough to exchange for quite a few talismans, right?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "That's enough. These pills and talismans are very popular in the market, especially since you refine pills, which are rare and valuable. With these, we can exchange them for a lot of high-quality talisman paper."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Master, can I exchange for high-grade talisman paper and top-grade talisman paper?"
Qing Xuanzi asked, puzzled, "You can't make high-level talismans yet, what are you planning to do?"
“Master, I want to use the talisman paper to make the soul talisman. I feel that the talisman paper for the soul talisman needs to be of a higher grade to be effective.”
Knowing that he wasn't acting recklessly, Qing Xuanzi said with relief, "Alright, I'll get you the exchange later. But if you want more, you'd better bring one or two good medicinal herbs in exchange, otherwise you won't get much in return for what you have."
"Master, how about exchanging it for a dryland golden lotus grass?"
Qing Xuanzi thought for a moment and asked, "How many do you have?"
"Two mature plants and more than twenty small ones."
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "This can only have a slight effect on the meridians, and it can't be exchanged for much. Take something else."
"Master, will the Dryland Golden Lotus Grass be of any use to you?"
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "Master used the Dryland Golden Lotus Grass to strengthen my meridians, but it's useless to me now."
"With your current physique, the Dryland Golden Lotus Grass won't be of much use to you, but you can give it to your father and brothers, as it would be excellent for them."
"Would the Ganoderma lucidum or the Wind Spirit Leaf work?"
"That's fine, these two are just right, not too high and not too low!"
"Okay, let's use these!"
The two arrived at the headquarters of the special department, only to find that it was a rather ordinary-looking courtyard house. Instead of a sign that read "Special Department," it had a sign that read "Supervision Group."
The gate was wide open, and there were people moving around inside, but not many. The two parked their bicycles and stepped inside.
Upon seeing them enter, a young man in a black uniform asked, "What brings you two here?"
Qing Xuanzi sensed that the other party was also a Xuan cultivator and said directly, "We've come to exchange some talismans."
The young man gestured: "The two of you should go through the left passage to the backyard. The place where they sell things is there."
Qing Xuanzi nodded and led Rong Jiaojiao into the backyard through the left passage.
The backyard was much larger than she had imagined, and it was filled with all kinds of flowers and plants, making it very quiet and secluded.
The main house was opened up and converted into a shop, where talismans, pills, and other items were sold for the convenience of the metaphysics group.
