Chapter 128 Lack of Sound
"Do you want to be a talisman maker?" Bian Qin asked calmly.
How should he answer? Unsure of the right response, Yun Xiang decided to take a risk. "Well, I heard talisman makers can make a lot of money, so I wanted to become one. But my family isn't well off, so I can't get talisman images. Then I came here and heard that you can become a high-level talisman maker by learning carving, and you don't need talisman images, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm sorry I lied to you before."
"What nonsense! You want to be a talisman maker without any talisman diagrams? Do you really think everyone can be one—" Bian Qin suddenly stopped talking and looked at Yun Xiang suspiciously. Yun Xiang had an honest look on his face and waited for the next words with great interest.
Was she being overly suspicious? "In short, you can't become a talisman maker without a talisman diagram."
"Oh, Master Bian, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to walk on this detour." Yun Xiang thanked him sincerely.
"Are you going to continue carving?" Bian Qin turned his gaze to the camphor tree, as if chatting.
But Yun Xiang thought he was deliberately testing her. "No, since they are not related, I won't carve them." Yun Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, I don't have any talent for carving at all."
"Oh, my camphor tree!" Yun Xiang wailed inwardly. She had suffered a great loss. As long as Bian Qin was with her, she wouldn't be able to touch the tree again. Shi Qixuan, I'm counting on you from now on!
If Shi Qixuan knew that she would have to chop down trees again in the future, she would definitely faint.
"Oh? It's great to have a clear understanding of yourself. Some people live their entire lives without ever understanding it."
Are you talking about yourself? Yun Xiang complained inwardly, but a silly smile hung on his face, as if he didn't know how to respond to you.
Bian Qin suddenly felt a little annoyed and regretted saying so much. He waved at Yun Xiang and said, "Go."
Where are you going? It seems like you came to me first? Yun Xiang happily went to find Shi Qixuan and told her how much Master Bian had helped her. Her words were full of admiration and respect. Shi Qixuan was also happy for her.
Oh my god, acting is so tiring. The two of them looked at each other, and only dared to relax a little when the feeling of being watched disappeared.
"How did you provoke him?" Shi Qixuan's eyes suddenly widened. Wow, Yun Xiang was startled. You have this skill? That's it!
"Maybe small talk pokes at the pain."
"You're awesome, be careful she might assassinate you!"
"That's possible." Yun wanted to think about it carefully. If Bian Qin was cruel enough, it would still be a bit reckless to do so, but she didn't regret it. The more dangerous it was, the more valuable it was.
She couldn't make talismans, but she could draw them. Yun Xiang could immediately think of the things in the space, and with the added bonus of carving, who else could it be? When she saw the mural at the bottom of Lianjiaoxing Lake, she had a guess in her mind, and now it was confirmed.
Bian Qin, humph! Yun Xiang, who was so good-tempered, actually sneered. Shi Qixuan was very curious, but she didn't intend to ask further questions. She just sighed, "It seems your risk was worth it this time."
"It's worth it," Yun Xiang smiled at her tenderly, but Shi Qixuan felt that she was not worthy of it. This girl was hiding something bad. As expected, it would be her responsibility to cut down trees from now on.
Shi Qixuan immediately suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and her whole body looked like a flower that had lost its water, looking listless.
Did she go too far? Yun Xiang looked at Shi Qixuan, "How about——"
"Forget it, I have to adapt eventually." Shi Qixuan encouraged herself and forced herself to cheer up.
The next two days were basically spent feeding the senior growers, but they were not allowed to eat enough. Those people wished that night was day so that they could find more places.
On the contrary, Yun thought that their harvest was pitifully small. Apart from the thumb-sized seedlings that remained in their hands, the rest of the slightly larger ones were taken away by those people under various pretexts. The way they ate them was particularly embarrassing.
But there was nothing they could do. They were outnumbered and outmatched in strength, so they could only tolerate it temporarily. Would Yun Xiang accept free labor? She specialized in digging for thumb-sized pieces. If she couldn't get any herself, why would she keep digging?
Anyway, she had good eyesight and nimble hands, but I just didn't know if these would survive. It was funny that every time they came around, they complained that she was digging small ones, specifically pointing out the big ones for her to dig. After she deliberately broke a few plants, they angrily ordered others to do it.
"Has it almost fallen off?" Yun Xiang looked at Bian Qin from a distance, as if thinking about something.
"What fell?" Shi Qixuan looked puzzled.
"The real exploration is about to begin."
"Let's get started! These people are getting so annoying." Shi Qixuan had almost no other thoughts now, her only concern being to get rid of those greedy bastards as soon as possible. Are all those who reach higher ranks like this? She'd rather stay at the lower ranks and muddle through.
"You moan and groan every day, and you're afraid of this?" Whenever someone comes, she acts so delicate and frail, unable to be touched. Who would dare to hire her? What if she gets blackmailed?
Yun Xiang couldn't help laughing when he thought of the frustrated expressions on those people's faces.
"Humph, I've been thinking about taking advantage of others every day, but I haven't been able to do it yet. How dare they take advantage of me?"
"...That makes sense." Yun wanted to give her a thumbs up.
"Why did Bian Qin encourage them to go in? Is it related to the sudden appearance of these spiritual plants and herbs in Maolin?" Shi Qixuan said seriously. She suddenly thought of the thousand-year catastrophe.
"Perhaps—" Yun Xiang felt something was amiss. That's right, it was a matter of sequence. "Bian Qin used the spiritual herbs that appeared in the dense forest to lure high-level planters deep into the dense forest. Was it simply an adventure, or was she... helping her deal with something?"
Shi Qixuan was inspired. "Mobilizing so many high-level psychics, almost mobilizing the entire planet, must mean more than just exploration. Oh, my bad feeling is coming back! What do you think she's using these people for?"
"It must be something beyond her control, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious."
"Why are you anxious?"
"Nowadays, high-level psychics almost all have wood-type abilities. Compared with other psychics of the same level, their attack power is not high. They only have the terrain advantage of fighting in the jungle. But if they were also plants - ah!" Yun Xiang suddenly widened his eyes, clenched his hands, loosened them, clenched them again, and loosened them again... It took him a while to calm down.
"Have you thought of something?" Shi Qixuan suddenly became scared when she saw Yun Xiang like this.
"I thought of a plant that we encountered on the Jiaoxing Star." Yun Xiang looked solemn.
"What?"
"One-inch lotus, parasitic vine."
"Wow! It's it!" Shi Qixuan took a breath. She was going to die, really going to die this time.
As if scaring her wasn't enough, Yun Xiang threw out another bombshell, "I finally know what's missing here?"
Shi Qixuan was so frightened that she wasn't afraid anymore. "What?"
"Sounds! Birds chirping, animals roaring. Even if there aren't any of those, what about the sounds of insects? Dark, damp places are most likely to breed insects, those with shells, those with hair, and so on. Even if we can't see them, we can always hear them when we step on them."
"Hey, now that I think about it, I dug up so many spiritual plants, but didn't find a single bug. How strange! Could it be that the Inch Lotus has controlled all those bugs?"
