Chapter 14: Draw until your hands are tired
Lin Xiaoman wondered if she had calculated wrongly. Unfortunately, there was no stopwatch in this world, otherwise she could calculate and compare according to seconds to know if her perception was wrong.
However, she trusted her instincts and tried again!
Lin Xiaoman continued to draw talismans. If he failed, he would continue to draw again and again!
Finally, after 5 failures, he succeeded again, and Lin Xiaoman was filled with joy.
So, she drew 10 talismans, 4 of which were successful, so the success rate is 40%?!
She didn't know whether this success rate was high or low, but at least it was higher than the task given to her by Senior Sister Li. Senior Sister Li gave her 100 talisman papers, but only asked her to make 15 speed talismans.
Lin Xiaoman was full of confidence, but another thing was important now. She sat cross-legged on the cushion, meditating and regulating her breathing to absorb spiritual energy and restore her spiritual power.
Not long after, when he opened his eyes again, Lin Xiaoman was filled with shock and surprise, and looked down at his hands.
Wow, the time is shortened!!!
This time she felt that it was definitely less than a quarter of an hour. Although she couldn't tell how much less time it took than last time, it was definitely different from the time she took to regulate her breathing and recover yesterday. This was very obvious and she could sense it.
Moreover, she felt that the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy was getting faster.
It turns out that every time I use up my spiritual energy when drawing talismans, the speed of recovering it through practice will become faster. That’s great!
You can make money and speed up your cultivation, who wouldn't do it?!
You have to draw! You have to draw even if your hands get tired.
Although she didn't know the reason, every time Lin Xiaoman was farming, she would cast a spell until she exhausted her spiritual energy, then adjust her breathing and recover before casting the spell again. During this process, she didn't notice that her speed had increased. She just felt that after casting the spell a few more times, her speed in mastering the spell became faster.
Lin Xiaoman was extremely interested in methods that could improve his cultivation. He no longer cared about anything else and just immersed himself in painting.
Then after failing seven times in a row, I was finally discouraged.
He took a deep breath and said, "Calm down, don't get too excited."
Afterwards, she adjusted her heartbeat and started drawing with discarded talisman paper to adjust her mentality. After an incense stick of time passed and she was sure that she was fine, she continued to draw with normal talisman paper.
This morning, Lin Xiaoman used 20 pieces of talisman paper and successfully drew 5 speed talismans.
Carefully placing the speed talisman into the storage bag, Lin Xiaoman got up and went out to eat. She had been busy all morning and was already starving.
And there was finally a spicy dish in the lunch menu. Although it was not a meat dish, Lin Xiaoman loved Mapo Tofu very much. Paired with fragrant Ling rice, eating Mapo Tofu with rice was so delicious that it almost made her tongue swallowed.
"Mmm, it's so delicious. I wish I had two stomachs. I want to eat five bowls of rice."
Li Ling looked at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, shaking her head. "Junior Sister Lin, we cultivators still need to control our appetites. Eating too much of these will require us to expel the impurities during future cultivation, which is a waste of time."
Lin Xiaoman squinted his eyes and shook his head. "It's okay, it's okay. At most, I can spend more time practicing. But if I don't eat all the delicious food in the world, there's no point in practicing."
Tang Chengchao nodded repeatedly beside him, "Yes, yes, yes, Fellow Daoist Lin is right. I also think this delicacy should not be wasted."
Li Ling didn't want to eat too much at first, but seeing that they both were eating with relish, and also because the spicy dish was really good with rice, she couldn't help herself and ended up eating a big bowl of rice.
"Burp! So comfortable."
Even though Lin Xiaoman was a monk, he couldn't eat five bowls of rice at a time. After finishing two bowls of rice, his stomach was already full. He burped and smiled happily.
After finishing their meal, the three of them walked out. The talisman shop looked like a three-story shop from the outside, but the yard at the back was actually very large. The three of them and Senior Yuan stayed in a quadrangle, and there were three other senior talisman masters with their apprentices, each of them had a yard, and there was also a small garden in the middle of the yards.
After a full meal, Lin Xiaoman wanted to walk around in the small garden to help digest the food. Li Ling felt guilty for eating so much and said, "I want to go back to practice. You guys can walk around here."
"Okay, Senior Sister Li, take care."
Tang Chengchao hurriedly spoke after hearing this. After watching the person walk away, he quickly pulled Lin Xiaoman to the side and asked mysteriously.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, is your success rate in drawing speed talismans high now?"
Lin Xiaoman blinked. After thinking about her success rate, she said, "Not high, only 20%."
Tang Chengchao was not surprised to hear this, as the success rate of many junior talisman masters was like this, and it would gradually increase in the future. When Lin Xiaoman could draw more advanced talismans and became an intermediate talisman master, the success rate would definitely be different.
"It's already pretty good, and there's still room for improvement. So, if you have extra talismans, could you sell them to me? I'll charge 80 spirit beads each."
Lin Xiaoman was surprised. Is this possible?
Yes, everyone has his own way.
The talisman shop also buys the talismans they make. They buy the speed talismans for 60 spirit beads each and then sell them for 100 spirit beads. The price is clearly marked.
If you say it's unfair, why not sell it on the black market yourself? That would be risky. What if someone steals it?!
Although fighting among monks is not allowed in Andu City, wherever there are people, there will be struggle, and where there is light, there will be darkness.
If Tang Chengchao could charge 80 spirit beads per piece, Lin Xiaoman would still be willing to do this business. He wouldn't have to take risks and could make more money.
"Okay, but I can't draw many successfully now."
Tang Chengchao narrowed his eyes and smiled when he heard this. "No problem, no problem. Anyway, if you want to sell it, just give it to me and I will definitely buy it."
He turned around and looked around. "I'm telling you something in secret. My brother is in Tianyan Sect. Many of their outer disciples actually want to buy talismans from outside. The demand is huge, and they're generous with the money. So I can guarantee your safety here."
This is also the business that their family has recently taken on. With his brother acting as a middleman, this matter will be much easier to handle.
Lin Xiaoman was surprised, "Why don't the disciples of Tianyan Sect buy talismans in the sect?"
"Well, everything in their sect requires points, and points are much more important than spirit beads. So many disciples are reluctant to use spirit beads to exchange for basic talismans and elixirs, and they save them to exchange for skills or spiritual tools later."
"I see."
Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized.
After making an appointment with Tang Chengchao, Lin Xiaoman returned to the house in the afternoon and continued to draw talismans.
If she failed, she would continue; if she succeeded, she would regulate her breathing and practice to restore her spiritual power. She repeated this over and over again without stopping. When Li Ling was taking a break, she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw her. She didn't even have time to rest and hurried back to sit down and continue drawing talismans.
Lin Xiaoman didn't care what was happening outside. When it was 3 p.m., she stopped.
She drew a total of 20 talismans in the afternoon, and 7 of them were successful, which means the success rate is much higher. Now she has 12 speed talismans, and there are only 3 left to complete the task given to her by Li Ling, and she still has 60 talisman papers.
