Everyone was chattering around Liu Juan, and she became the focus of the crowd.
This made Liu Juan very uncomfortable, and she subconsciously wanted to lower her head to avoid the sight of others. But then she thought that there was no birthmark on her face anymore, she was not ugly, and she had not done anything wrong, so why should she lower her head?
She clenched her fists and tried hard to keep her head up. After a long time, she found that it was not difficult to hold her head high and chest out, and she could do it.
Although she still didn't dare to look others in the eye, it was much better than her previous appearance of lowering her head, reducing her gaze and shrinking back.
Inadvertently, she met the gaze of Xue Huan in front of her. The gaze was kind and gentle, with a hint of smile. She suddenly was not afraid at all and smiled back.
Xue Huan used the steps as a platform, holding a spiritual card in her hand, and introduced its functions.
For a moment, she felt like a salesperson.
Everyone in the audience was attracted by her description of the various benefits of the spiritual card. However, when they heard the price of "200 contribution points", most of them were discouraged.
They don't even have a single contribution point, let alone two hundred.
Feng Ying, Liu Juan, and ten other people with large sums of money bought them on the spot. Even the woman who had previously been reluctant to buy the traceless pill gritted her teeth and bought it.
According to the usage method introduced by Xue Huan, as soon as the ten people got the spirit cards, they immediately dripped blood to recognize the owner, and a string of codes was automatically generated on the spirit cards. The master card in Xue Huan's hand would record the codes and the corresponding owners.
From then on, this code belonged exclusively to them.
In the future, even if the spirit card is accidentally lost, the same code will be generated when you buy a new one.
With a spirit card, the changes in contribution points are clear at a glance and can be checked at any time.
Although only ten Spirit Cards were sold, the press conference was still very successful because—
Today I have one more reason to practice diligently.
——The voices from the vast majority of disciples.
Liu Juan and others who bought the spiritual cards became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as the press conference ended, and various questions followed.
Wenrou emerged from the dorm to find everyone talking about "contribution points," "spiritual cards," and "missions." What was going on? How could she, after a fortnight of seclusion, be so disconnected from the world?
The rejuvenation pill she had taken before contained a large amount of spiritual power. If she didn't seize the time to practice and refine this spiritual power, it would be lost, which would be a pity.
So during this period of time, she didn't even go to the sect leader's place, and focused on practicing in the dormitory.
After this period of seclusion, her cultivation not only recovered, but also increased significantly, and she has broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining!
It’s not even far from the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Wenrou came to the cafeteria. It was dinner time and the cafeteria was noisy. She went to the window to get her food and searched the crowd until she found a familiar figure.
She walked over with the tray and patted the person on the shoulder, "Junior Sister Liu."
The man turned around, but it was a completely unfamiliar face. She thought she had recognized the wrong person and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I recognized the wrong person--"
Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter rang out from the side, "Hahaha, Senior Sister Wen, this is Junior Sister Liu Juan, can you take a closer look?"
Wenrou looked at her in surprise and found that it was indeed Liu Juan, except that the big birthmark on her face was gone.
"Junior Sister Liu, your appearance is completely sealed by the birthmark."
Liu Juan smiled shyly and took the initiative to move aside, "Senior Sister Wen, please sit down."
During the meal, Wenrou asked, "I heard a lot of people talking about spirit cards and contribution points. What's going on? Tell me quickly."
After listening to the stories of her two junior sisters, Wenrou realized that so many new things had happened in the sect during this period of time.
It's such a pity that she missed it all.
"Junior Sister Liu, can you let me see your spirit card?"
"Of course." Liu Juan took out the spirit card and handed it over.
She took it gently and rubbed the spirit card with her fingers. She felt a warm touch on the spirit jade. The card was small, but very delicate.
At this moment, the runes on it suddenly lit up.
"This is?"
Liu Juan said: "I guess there is a new mission."
She retrieved the spirit card and probed with her spiritual sense. The task section had been refreshed, and a new task, marked in red, appeared at the top: Find out why the well water in Fufeng Town, Linhai City, turned red. [Click to view task details]
Lin Anan, the woman with the mole on her butt, who was sitting opposite, also saw the task.
"The water in Fufeng Town's well turned red? Could it be haunted? I'm most afraid of ghosts."
Wenrou: "Ghosts are also transformed from humans. As long as you are stronger than them, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Liu Juan nodded. Could ghosts be scarier than hunger?
Lin Anan looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you guys planning to take on this mission?"
Wenrou and Liu Juan looked at each other and nodded.
Lin Anan puffed up her cheeks and said, "Then take me with you, and we can form a team together."
The three of them agreed on this. After dinner, they returned to their dormitories to pack their luggage, then went to Qingyun Hall together to buy some supplies. They registered their mission information at the gatehouse, and went down the mountain together to Fufeng Town.
That day, Xue Huan called Feng Ying over for a talk and praised her highly, praising her for her contributions to the sect and her hard work.
Feng Ying: "...Sect Master, please stop beating around the bush. Are you planning to abandon the sect and leave again?"
Xue Huan took her hand and sat down, pouring her a cup of tea. "How can you say you're abandoning me? You can't practice in isolation. You need to go out and broaden your mind from time to time. So I plan to go out and travel. Only when my cultivation level as the sect leader improves can you feel safe, right?
"Please keep this storage ring. It contains supplies I prepared for my disciples. It should be enough to last for a year or so. If you need anything, just let me know."
Xue Huan stuffed a jar of candy into Feng Ying's mouth. "It's right to be strict with your disciples, but you don't have to be so strict in private, otherwise you'll age too quickly. When you're in a bad mood, just have a candy. I'm leaving, no need to see you off."
Feng Ying watched her disappear in a flash, shook her head and laughed, then opened the jar. Inside were exquisitely wrapped candies. She opened one and put it in her mouth. A sweet taste with a milky aroma spread across her tongue.
Xue Huan and Yuan Xi returned to their home in Fengchi County.
This day is the Winter Solstice. For the ancients, the Winter Solstice is not only a solar term, but also an important festival.
The Dongjing Menghualu records: "In November, the winter solstice comes. The capital city attaches great importance to this festival. Even the poorest people save money throughout the year and borrow money to wear new clothes on this day, prepare food and drink, and offer sacrifices to their ancestors..."
Winter is cold and unbearable, so we must start preparing early, starting from the day winter arrives.
The housewife is generally responsible for food and clothing, preparing bedding, winter clothes, and food, while the head of the household is responsible for housing and transportation, repairing the house and replacing new wheels on the donkey cart...
There are more people selling charcoal, dried fruits and picking cotton on the street.
