Chapter 11 It will definitely work tomorrow!
Lin Xiaoman attached her spiritual power to the brush and ink, attached it to the talisman paper and began to draw the talisman. She had already drawn it many times in her mind and originally thought it should not be difficult. Unexpectedly, before she finished the stroke, she heard a hissing sound and a puff of smoke came out.
Failed!
Lin Xiaoman pursed her lips. Failure happens all the time. It’s okay. Let’s try again!
He cleaned up the table and then calmly began to prepare to draw the second, third, and fourth picture... At the end of the day, Lin Xiaoman had lost all his energy.
Lin Xiaoman walked out of the room with her body drooping, feeling completely gray and frustrated. She had only drawn 10 pictures in total, and all of them ended in failure.
Basically, after every three talismans she drew, her spiritual and mental energy would be exhausted. She would have to meditate again to regulate her breathing, recover her spiritual energy, and then continue drawing, but still failed...
"Senior Sister Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Standing at the door, Lin Xiaoman was stunned when she heard a familiar voice. Someone here actually called her senior sister. When she looked up, it was Tang Chengchao.
"Brother Tang?"
Tang Chengchao scratched his head awkwardly, "Hehe, now that your cultivation is higher than mine, I should call you Senior Sister."
"Ah this."
Lin Xiaoman was surprised, then nodded in understanding, "Then let's just call each other fellow Taoists."
Tang Chengchao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. He was a little embarrassed at first. She was obviously a junior sister who joined the sect later than him, and now her cultivation level was higher than his. It was really hard for him to call her senior sister.
"OK."
The two walked out together. Tang Chengchao saw Lin Xiaoman looking listless and asked her, "What happened?"
"Oh, please stop talking. I followed Senior Sister Li to learn how to draw talismans today, but I couldn't even draw the simplest talisman at the elementary level of the Yellow Rank. I wasted a lot of talisman paper."
She can only use 100 of them in total. If they are used up, she will have to pay for the 300 spirit beads she just got out of her own pocket.
"I envy you. It would be great if you could learn to draw talismans sooner."
After such a comparison, Lin Xiaoman felt more energetic and comforted him, "I need to work hard to make money so that I can practice, but you don't need to worry about these things. How great is that."
Although Tang Chengchao was already 15 years old and had only just begun to draw Qi into his body, she didn't have to worry. After all, his family was native to Andu City and even had relatives in the Tianyan Sect. During their month together, she had learned from Tang Chengchao that, although he had five spiritual roots with poor talent, his foundation was damaged at birth, making it impossible for him to retain spiritual energy. Furthermore, he had a younger brother with three spiritual roots, the most powerful gift in their family to date. Therefore, the family resources were tilted towards his younger brother, and he was willing to accept this. The family also continuously earned money for his cultivation.
My younger brother has done well and is now living a good life in Tianyan Sect. A few days ago, I specially got him Yuanqing Dan, which is a remedy for his injuries. After taking it, he recovered. Now he can practice and retain spiritual energy in his body normally.
However, he had given up on cultivation over the years and had become quite lazy. It was difficult to change overnight. Now that he saw that Lin Xiaoman, despite not having good talent and being alone in Andu City, was still diligent in cultivation, he was very excited and decided not to slack off and to cultivate well to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible.
Tang Chengchao smiled and shook his head. What Lin Xiaoman said was right. Half of the family's resources were now given to him, and his younger brother would send him some things for his practice from time to time. He really didn't need to worry about the resources for practice for the time being.
"But I'm still not as fast as you in cultivation. I need to learn from Fellow Daoist Lin."
Seeing that he was still bowing to her, Lin Xiaoman quickly smiled and bowed to him as well, "Encourage each other."
"Hahaha, are you worried that you don't have enough talisman paper, Brother Lin? I do have some discarded talisman paper. Although it's not as good as the ones in the shop, it can still be used. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great. I wouldn't want it for nothing. How much do you want for it?"
Tang Chengchao shook his head. "It's okay. They're just discarded talisman papers. If you don't use them, they'll just gather dust there."
Lin Xiaoman didn't insist. Since that was the case, she could give him a few talismans after she drew them.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tang."
After coming out of the talisman shop, Lin Xiaoman hurried back to Yuehe Village. He still had to practice again and again. His cultivation level was too low and he could not draw talismans more than a few times.
After returning home, Lin Xiaoman didn't have time to cook. She had already eaten the steamed buns she had bought on the way. She returned to her room and started practicing.
After a night of practice, the spiritual power in his body increased a little. Lin Xiaoman stretched his hands and feet with satisfaction. He went to the kitchen to practice the fireball technique several times, made a fire to cook, let the fire burn in the stove, and then went to the field to start practicing the spiritual rain technique and the five elements technique. Seeing a little green seedling emerging from the ground, he was overjoyed.
Spells were cast everywhere in the field. Lin Xiaoman clapped his hands, cast a cleansing spell on himself, and returned home. The aroma of rice was already wafting in the air.
Because she was casting spells to farm in the fields, she had to adjust her breathing again because her spiritual power was exhausted. Now there was not enough time, so she could only eat the pickled radish with rice. Oh, it tasted amazing.
After eating, Lin Xiaoman hurried to the market and arrived at the talisman shop just in time.
Li Ling had already sat down at the table and started drawing talismans. Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to disturb her and was about to go into the house when Tang Chengchao called out, "Fellow Daoist Lin, here."
Unexpectedly, he actually brought it. Lin Xiaoman quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang. I'll give you a few when I draw the talismans."
Tang Chengchao chuckled, "Then I'll be taking advantage."
Lin Xiaoman returned to her room holding a thick stack of talisman paper. After sitting down, she put the talisman paper in the shop aside and began to grind ink to prepare to draw with the talisman paper given by Tang Chengchao.
She did not use spiritual power to draw, but started with ordinary talisman ink. She drew about thirty talismans in a row and felt that she could draw a talisman with her eyes closed. Then she carefully took the talisman paper, pen and ink from the shop.
First, he built up his spiritual power to the best, and then he began to draw the talisman. The spiritual power was attached to it, and the spiritual power floated under the pen, sliding according to Lin Xiaoman's wishes, and it was completed in one go... hiss, smoke came out!
Lin Xiaoman was discouraged for a moment, then calmly picked up the second piece of talisman paper and continued to draw. She persevered. She only had three chances before she had to regulate her breathing and practice to restore her spiritual power.
smoke!
smoke!
......
Lin Xiaoman drew the talisman three times, and after regulating his breathing, he used discarded talisman paper and practiced again without adding spiritual power. After practicing for about ten talismans, he drew the talisman again.
Although she still failed every time, she felt that she had already touched the edge of success.
Until the afternoon, he still had only just touched the edge of success. Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the setting sun in the sky, and clenched his fists.
Definitely tomorrow! ! !
