Chapter 18 This cultivation speed is indeed different
It was still early, but she didn't want to hang around outside after dark, so she quickened her pace and headed towards Beifang City. She wanted to compare the prices of buying speed talismans and exchanging them for spirit stones.
After running around, although she was young and had low cultivation level, the shop clerks she met did not give her any perfunctory treatment.
Before dark, Lin Xiaoman finally got home after rushing all the way. He didn't even have time to eat. He took the steamed buns in his bag and ate them, then quickly ran into the room to practice.
Taking out two spirit stones, Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he began to practice with great anticipation.
The next moment, she felt excited. As expected, it was different with the spirit stone. The speed of cultivation was increasing rapidly.
Feeling the growth of spiritual power in his body, Lin Xiaoman was overjoyed. After a night, the spirit stone in his hand was not used up.
Lin Xiaoman sensed the spiritual power in his body. If he could increase his spiritual power by one strand after practicing for one night before, now he could increase it by two strands after one night.
Looking at the other intact spirit stone in her hand, it seemed that her cultivation was still too low and she couldn't absorb so much spiritual power at once.
After putting them all into her bag, Lin Xiaoman got up and went out in a good mood. She first went to the fields to practice the Five Elements Technique, Spirit Rain Technique, etc. Then she didn't bother to cook and eat, as she wanted to go to the market to take a look.
In the next few days, she drew talismans in the shop during the day, ran around the markets in the east, south, west and north in the morning and evening, and practiced with spirit stones at home at night. She was so busy every day that she had no time to cook for herself or enjoy delicious food.
Although I am a little tired, I have gained a lot in the past few days.
The first is cultivation. She has felt that her spiritual power has improved a lot. Now she can draw 4 talismans before her spiritual power is exhausted. Although she is still some distance away from the second level of Qi Refining Stage, she has already seen hope.
Then she asked the talisman shops in various markets and Lingshi Building, an institution similar to a modern bank, and the results she got made her feel at ease.
In the outside market, one spirit stone can be exchanged for 100 spirit beads, and the highest can be exchanged for 110 spirit beads. However, to exchange spirit beads for spirit stones, it takes 150 spirit beads to exchange for 1 spirit stone. She doesn't know what the price is on the black market.
As for the Yellow-grade primary talismans such as the Speed Talisman and the Fire Bomb Talisman, the talisman shop sells them for 100 spirit beads each and charges 60-70 spirit beads each.
So, all in all, Tang Chengchao really didn't lie to her, and the price he offered was fair and honest. Lin Xiaoman was relieved and prepared to come to him for most of the work in the future.
During this period, because she went to ask for prices, she also sold 20 speed talismans. Although the price was not as high as Tang Chengchao's, she still earned 1,100 spirit beads. Originally, her purse only had 50 spirit beads left after exchanging for spirit stones, and she used 20 spirit beads to buy steamed buns to fill her stomach, so now the money has swelled to 1,130 spirit beads. She also used up 3 spirit stones in her practice these days, and there are still 5 spirit stones left in stock.
During this period, she drew a total of 135 speed talismans. Excluding the 20 speed talismans she sold and adding the 74 she had saved before, she now has 189 speed talismans, 90 talisman papers, and 500 discarded talisman papers.
These are all her belongings now!
Of course, she also has to give Li Ling 85 speed talismans.
The spirit stones have not been used up yet, and Lin Xiaoman is not in a hurry to find Tang Chengchao to sell talismans. She needs to hurry up to draw talismans now. It is almost the end of the month, and she has to catch up with the progress and hand in the work. It would be best to hand in a few more speed talismans to Senior Sister Li, so that she can give herself more talisman drawing tasks next month.
However, Tang Chengchao looked at Lin Xiaoman with eyes full of longing during lunch every day. One day, he finally couldn't help but pulled Lin Xiaoman aside.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you have any more Speed Talismans to draw? Haven't you drawn any in the past few days?"
"Yes, but I need to give 85 of them to Senior Sister Li. I haven't collected enough yet, so I have to hurry."
Tang Chengchao looked disappointed when he heard this, "Okay, then when you have enough, quickly draw the talisman, and come to me if you want to make a move."
"Yes, I will definitely look for Fellow Daoist Tang. I also want to earn more spirit stones."
Tang Chengchao smiled with satisfaction and watched Lin Xiaoman return to the house expectantly.
With five days left before the end of the month, Lin Xiaoman used up all the remaining 90 talismans and obtained 55 speed talismans.
She took the talisman and went to find Li Ling and handed it to her.
"Senior Sister Li, I've finished drawing. 90 Speed Talismans have appeared, and the success rate of the remaining ones has increased a bit."
Li Ling was very surprised and told her while checking.
"Junior Sister Lin, not bad, not bad, you did a great job."
This kid is really honest. He can obviously keep these 5 extra speed talismans for himself. Even if he sells them to a shop, he can earn 300 spirit beads.
Lin Xiaoman grinned, "As long as the task is completed."
Then he said a little embarrassedly, "Senior Sister Li, which talisman do you think I should learn to draw next?"
Now that he was able to maintain a 50% success rate for the Speed Talisman, Lin Xiaoman wanted to start learning the second type of Talisman. A good worker cannot just have one skill.
Li Ling was not surprised. After she learned the Speed Talisman, she drew 10 Speed Talismans and then thought about learning the Fire Bomb Talisman.
"Let's learn the Fire Bomb Talisman, and then the Immobilization Talisman. First, learn the three talismans that Senior Yuan gave us, and then learn the others."
Lin Xiaoman had guessed that this was the case, so he smiled and nodded without any surprise.
"OK."
"It's late today. Come tomorrow and I'll teach you."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Li."
Lin Xiaoman bowed to her respectfully before leaving.
Although she had a talisman book with patterns and disassembly diagrams of various yellow-level primary talismans, learning them herself was definitely not as good as being taught carefully by an experienced person.
After coming out of the talisman shop, Lin Xiaoman ran to buy a chicken and some mushrooms. She saw someone selling fish, but the meat had been bought, leaving only the big fish head. She couldn't move her feet.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is this fish head?"
The fish seller was a cultivator at the first level of the Qi Refining Stage, but he looked to be in his forties or fifties, and probably even older. He seemed very kind.
"Would you like to buy a fish head, fellow Daoist? There's not much meat on it. Just give me five spirit beads."
Although fish heads have no meat and no one likes to eat them, they are so big that they are at least the size of a football, so even without the meat, there is still a lot of it.
When Lin Xiaoman heard this, he paid without hesitation.
Then he went to buy some perilla leaves, spices and other things, and hurried home.
Originally, she planned to reward herself for her hard work today by making some chicken stewed with mushrooms to replenish her body. But now that she saw the fish head, her mind was full of chopped pepper fish head. The spicy chopped pepper fish head goes well with rice, and it is spicy and delicious no matter how you eat it.
