Chapter 125: To Live a Hundred or Thousand Years
The rejuvenation talisman is not easy to draw, much more difficult than Lin Xiaoman imagined.
She originally thought that after she broke through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, her cultivation level would improve and she would no longer be worried about lack of spiritual power. However, she did not expect to find a difference as soon as she started. This rejuvenation talisman was different from the fireball talisman and advanced basic talisman she had drawn before. Not only did it require at least twice as much spiritual power, but it also required strong mental support.
Since Lin Xiaoman started practicing, she'd felt like her mental strength was higher than others, but she wasn't sure how much higher. She'd originally thought that with this advantage, drawing the Rejuvenation Talisman shouldn't be difficult, but...
Looking at the talisman papers in front of him that spontaneously combusted and disappeared, Lin Xiaoman sighed silently.
"Forget it, let's practice first. Improving your cultivation is more important."
Since the Rejuvenation Talisman is so difficult to draw, she decided to improve her cultivation first and then try the Rejuvenation Talisman. She can temporarily not use her spiritual power and memorize the strokes of the Rejuvenation Talisman. Then she can try it over and over again. There will be a day when she will succeed.
So, in the following days, Lin Xiaoman stayed indoors, and every day she either practiced or drew talismans. Occasionally, when she was upset because she couldn't draw the rejuvenation talisman, she would draw some talismans such as fireball talismans, sleeping talismans or thorn talismans to add some security to her inventory.
This mission made Lin Xiaoman realize that she couldn't just stay at home and work in isolation. Although it was very dangerous outside and it was very comfortable and relaxed to stay in the sect, but... if she wanted to improve her cultivation, she still needed to go out and gain experience from time to time. What's more, the most important thing was that she got a treasure like a treasure-hunting rat.
With a pet like the treasure-hunting rat, it would be a waste for her to stay indoors.
As long as you prepare more life-saving measures and are more careful, you won't die so easily.
Otherwise, if she keeps stagnating, it will be difficult for her to break through in her cultivation. If she can't break through, her life span will only stay at around 120 years. Even if she can obtain a longevity elixir by then, it will only extend her life by 10 years at most, and such a longevity elixir is extremely difficult to obtain.
Before, she was still narrow-minded. She thought that she could stay in the sect, seize the time every day to practice and draw talismans, safely and leisurely, and easily, and that if she worked hard, she could break through to the foundation-building stage.
However, this breakthrough made her realize that what her predecessors said was not without reason. It is easier to break through in battle, break through faster, and can better enhance combat effectiveness.
Time flies, and Lin Xiaoman celebrates her fifteenth birthday. Her cultivation has completely stabilized at the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage, and even improved a little bit, but she still cannot draw the rejuvenation talisman.
Lin Xiaoman had no choice but to give up the idea of becoming a high-level talisman master as soon as possible. She felt that perhaps she needed to improve her cultivation to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage first, so that she would have a greater chance of learning the Rejuvenation Talisman.
"Brother, I want to take up mission number 9."
After leaving his yard, Lin Xiaoman ran to the mission hall immediately, looked around, and finally stopped at the mission issued by Danfeng, looking for a second-level spiritual plant, Worry-Free Grass.
"Okay, please take out your jade ID card."
Lin Xiaoman handed over his identity jade card, and after registering, he went to Danfeng and bought some medicine for injuries, Yuanlingdan, Zilingdan, etc. He then went to Qifeng to exchange for a defensive spiritual weapon, the Golden Bell Tripod, which could withstand three full-strength attacks from a high-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage at a critical moment.
He went to the cafeteria to collect his share of spiritual noodle buns for this month, without making any other preparations. When he saw the crane flying into the air and expanding, he sat on it and left the sect.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about inviting Wang Musen and the others to go out on a mission together, but...she is now going out on a mission to train herself, and she also wants to find treasures through the treasure-hunting rat. After hesitating for a long time, she doesn’t want to expose the matter of the treasure-hunting rat yet, so she didn’t go to find them specifically.
Although it would be much more dangerous if she acted alone, the mission Lin Xiaoman accepted this time was relatively simple. The second-level spiritual plant Worry-Free Grass was at the outermost edge of the Misty Forest, so she didn't need to go too far inside. Moreover, the guardian monster was not strong, so she could deal with it alone.
Flying all the way to the destination, everything went smoothly. Lin Xiaoman arrived outside the misty forest, controlled the crane to fly down, and jumped down. Lin Xiaoman put the crane away, turned to look at the vast forest in front of him, and took a deep breath.
"Lin Xiaoman, come on! To live a long life."
She strode into the Misty Forest. This time, she came alone, and she had to be more alert to her surroundings when she was alone. After entering the Misty Forest, she took out the treasure-hunting rat.
"Baibai, we're entering the Misty Forest. Please help me pay attention to the dangers around us. If there's anyone you can't defeat, tell me immediately and we'll run together."
"Um."
Baibai had not come out of the spirit beast bag for a long time. He moved his body at this time and saw that there was no scary cat around. There was still the familiar smell around him. He was even happier and nodded happily in response.
"Are you hungry? I made a lot of dried meat. It's all from third-level monsters. Come, have some."
Lin Xiaoman touched the little guy. During this period of time when Baibai was sleeping in the spirit beast bag, she found that his strength seemed to have increased a little.
"Yes, yes, Master is so kind."
Baibai's eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded repeatedly at Lin Xiaoman, holding the dried meat and taking small bites of it, looking very happy.
Seeing him like this, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but smile, touched the little guy's head, collected his thoughts, took out the map and looked at it, then walked in the direction of the worry-free grass.
On the way, with his own spiritual perception and the help of the treasure-hunting rat, Lin Xiaoman not only picked some second-level spiritual plants, but also hunted several first- and second-level monsters. The harvest was very good, of course, the spiritual power consumption was also high.
"Hoo, let's take a break first. The Worry-Free Grass is not far ahead. It turns out that completing tasks really earns you spirit stones. This time, the other rewards are higher than the task points awarded by the sect."
After killing a second-level monster, Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, put the monster away, and quickly left the scene with the treasure-hunting rat. He found a safer place, climbed up a tree to prepare a place, and finally had a good rest.
"Master, someone is coming."
But she didn't expect to hear Bai Bai's voice the next moment. Lin Xiaoman's face changed slightly and she quickly straightened up. It was almost dark at this time, so she was looking for a place to rest. It was very dangerous to travel in the misty forest at night, even at the outermost edge.
She carefully opened one side of the tent and looked down. Sure enough, she saw a team of four people coming over, and a team of three people coming over from the other side.
Huh?
Why are there so many people?
Could it be that there is some treasure nearby?
Several thoughts flashed through Lin Xiaoman's mind, but she didn't dare to make a sound at this moment. Although she had set up an invisibility formation and corresponding talismans outside her tent, if she made any noise, she would be discovered by the people below.
