Chapter 17: Exchange Spirit Stones
After returning to his and Li Ling's room, Lin Xiaoman gave her the remaining can of spicy rabbit cubes.
"Senior Sister Li, I made some spicy diced rabbit. I wonder if you like it."
Li Ling was surprised. She opened the lid and found the rabbit meat inside was still hot. The spicy meat aroma filled her nose and she couldn't help swallowing.
"It smells so good. You can actually cook."
Lin Xiaoman said with a smile: "I saw my grandfather do it when I was a child."
Li Ling accepted the jar and said, "Thank you very much."
Lin Xiaoman waved and returned to her seat. Li Ling looked at her leaving figure and smiled. This Junior Sister Lin was really too honest.
Lin Xiaoman sat in his seat and began to draw talismans with peace of mind. Now he no longer needed to use discarded talisman paper to draw the talisman. He also calmed down when grinding the ink. He opened his eyes, picked up the talisman pen in his hand, and began to draw on the talisman paper.
Lin Xiaoman spent the whole morning concentrating on drawing talismans. He was in very good condition. He used 28 pieces of talisman paper and successfully drew 17 speed talismans.
By lunchtime, Lin Xiaoman felt dizzy, and Li Ling looked a little worried.
"Junior Sister Lin, you can't finish drawing the talismans overnight. There's still time until the end of the month, and I can help you draw them later. Don't be too hard on yourself."
Lin Xiaoman shook his head. "It's okay. I just used up too much spiritual energy. I'll be fine after I finish my meal and recover."
As she spoke, she quickly buried her head in her food and said, "Eat, eat, the spicy rabbit cubes I made are so delicious."
She also brought the half bowl of spicy rabbit cubes that she had left over from last night, which she didn't eat in the morning. So now, on the table, each of the three of them had a small earthenware jar filled with spicy rabbit cubes, which smelled so good.
"Yes, let's eat. This spicy diced rabbit made by Fellow Daoist Lin is so delicious. Oh, I didn't expect that you are such a good cook at such a young age."
Tang Chengchao ate his meal with a smile on his face. The spicy diced rabbit was really delicious, even the chili was tasty. He ate it all, and it was especially delicious when eaten with rice.
"Hey, if you like it, eat more. I'll make it for you later."
Tang Chengchao was even happier, "Really?"
Li Ling patted his head speechlessly, "Tang Chengchao, you are so rude. Junior Sister Lin is only a little older."
Tang Chengchao wasn't angry either. He just smiled and said, "I won't eat it for free, Fellow Daoist Lin. From now on, you have to bring me dishes like this twice a month, and I'll take care of all the discarded talisman paper you need."
Li Ling was puzzled. "Waste talisman paper?"
"Well, I wasted too much talisman paper before and was afraid that I would run out of it, so I asked Brother Tang Daoist for some discarded talisman paper to practice with first and get a feel for it."
Lin Xiaoman did not hide it and nodded.
Li Ling pondered, "Can this still be done? Will it work?"
"I think so. Anyway, I feel like I got more comfortable drawing talismans later."
Li Ling thought about Lin Xiaoman's progress in drawing talismans. It was much faster than when she first became a junior talisman master. "Tang Chengchao, how do you sell your discarded talisman paper?"
"Hey, it's just some discarded talisman paper. No money required. If Senior Sister Li wants it, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."
"No, let's put one thing at a time."
Tang Chengchao was helpless. He glanced at Lin Xiaoman and could only say, "Then you can give it to me as you see fit. It's not worth much anyway."
He couldn't just say to use the Speed Talisman to exchange it, because then Senior Sister Li would definitely think that Fellow Daoist Lin also used this method.
"OK."
Li Ling didn't worry about it. She would definitely not let Tang Chengchao suffer any loss when the time came.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoman seized the opportunity to use the rich spiritual energy in the market town to practice and restore his spiritual power. After recovering to his peak state, he began to continue drawing talismans.
Draw, draw, draw!!!
By the afternoon, Lin Xiaoman felt weak, but fortunately she had a good harvest. She put 18 speed talismans into her storage bag. Now she had 46 speed talismans, and she sold 10 of them to Tang Chengchao.
The number of spirit beads in her storage bag reached 682, and there were still 400 spirit beads that had not been taken back.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoman went to the talisman shop and received the remaining 400 spirit beads that Tang Chengchao had brought over. From then on, Lin Xiaoman had more than 1,000 spirit beads in his pocket.
"Friend Lin, if you need speed talismans in the future, please come to me. Oh, and I want the other talismans too."
"OK."
She actually didn't plan to give all the talismans to Tang Chengchao to sell. After all, they all worked in the same talisman shop. If she took out all her speed talismans and sold them to him, everyone would know everything about her.
However, the next moment Tang Chengchao asked Lin Xiaoman again, "Do you want spirit stones?"
"ah?"
Lin Xiaoman didn't react at first. Who doesn't want spirit stones?
"Spirit stones. A cultivator's cultivation speed will be faster with spirit stones, especially when they need them for breakthroughs. However, it's easy to exchange spirit stones for spirit beads, but spirit beads are in short supply. I'm a local and I know some older cultivators who can't make further progress in their cultivation. They find spirit beads convenient for their daily lives, so they want to exchange their spirit stones for spirit beads. So I thought I'd make a profit from the price difference. Outside, it costs 150 spirit beads to exchange for one spirit stone. If you want to exchange, I'll give you 130 spirit beads."
Lin Xiaoman widened her eyes in surprise. Yes, she lived in Yuehe Village, where the spiritual energy was not strong. But if she wanted to live in the market town, she didn't have the money to rent a house. The rent was extremely expensive, 200 spirit stones a month, and she needed to live in Andu City for 10 years to be eligible to rent. After asking once, she completely gave up the idea of living in the market town.
To improve your cultivation, even without an environment with rich spiritual energy, it turns out that you can still use spiritual stones to practice.
This is great. Lin Xiaoman narrowed his eyes and smiled. He took out the spirit bead from his bag and handed it to Tang Chengchao, "See how many spirit stones you can exchange for it."
No matter what, improving your cultivation is the most important thing!
Why does she make money? It is to improve her cultivation, make her life more comfortable and live longer.
Tang Chengchao didn't expect her to be so straightforward, so he took it and looked at it with a smile, "There are a total of 1080 spirit beads. After exchanging for 8 spirit stones, there are still 40 spirit beads left. I will give you 50 spirit beads."
"good."
Tang Chengchao immediately gave 8 spirit stones to Lin Xiaoman and returned 50 spirit beads to her.
Lin Xiaoman took the crystal clear and sparkling spirit stone and looked at it. It was the first time she saw a spirit stone, and it was really beautiful.
"I'll ask you to change later."
"Okay, you can find me anytime."
Tang Chengchao nodded repeatedly.
Lin Xiaoman put the things into the storage bag and went back to the house to continue drawing talismans. Throughout the day, because he was thinking about using spirit stones to practice at night, his state was not very good. The success rate of talismans dropped to 50%. He harvested 28 speed talismans and the inventory reached 74.
As soon as the afternoon came, Lin Xiaoman left the talisman shop. He did not rush home, but strolled around the market.
