Chapter 287 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land
When they got home that night, Lin Xiaoman pulled Tuanzi aside and asked, "Tuanzi, why don't you think about it again and see if you can remember where to find the white jade stone?"
"Meow, I can't remember."
Tuanzi was helpless. She also wanted to find the white jade stone, but she really couldn't remember it. She only knew that there was white jade stone in Wuji City.
"Okay, next month we'll go to the Yunling Chamber of Commerce's auction and see how others buy white jade."
"I'll go to sleep. Maybe I'll remember it in my dreams."
Tuanzi meowed and tilted his head.
"Wuji City is also what I dreamed about this time."
"Wow, that's amazing! It's okay, we still have five years here, plenty of time, just take it slow."
Although Lin Xiaoman wanted to know where to get the white jade stone as soon as possible, she couldn't bear to let Tuanzi go to sleep even though he couldn't sleep all day. She decided to just let things take their course. Maybe he would suddenly remember it one day.
While waiting for the auction, Lin Xiaoman followed the routine, drawing talismans or practicing every day. It was fulfilling and complicated, but because he learned new talismans every day, every day was a little different.
Because she had been drawing the thunder talisman for a month, Lin Xiaoman's success rate in drawing the thunder talisman rose sharply. Therefore, she could spare two hours every day to draw other talismans, not for anything else, but mainly to store them for future use. She couldn't let the previous situation happen again, where everyone was rushing to the battlefield, but a talisman practitioner only had a thousand or so talismans in his hand.
Although such a situation occurred due to special reasons, as long as she had enough talismans in her pocket, she would never run out of them and would not run out of talismans.
When she had completed more than half of the pre-orders, the highly anticipated auction began. During these days, Lin Xiaoman also found that Wuji City had become lively.
Lin Xiaoman had originally been hoping to see if someone she knew or who looked familiar would come over to repair it, but until the auction started, she didn't see anyone familiar, so she had to give up in the end.
The auction finally began, and Lin Xiaoman finally saw what price their white jade could be sold for. It was simply spectacular.
When they got home, Lin Xiaoman spoke to Tuanzi very seriously.
"Our family depends on you, Tuanzi. Come on, remember, let's go dig for white jade."
As for the auction, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She felt that it would be more reliable to look for Tuanzi's memory and find the white jade.
"Meow~Okay."
After the auction, Lin Xiaoman focused more on cultivation and drawing talismans. Even on the way home and to the Chamber of Commerce every day, he was thinking about how to draw the newly learned talismans successfully and how to increase the success rate.
"Huh? Fellow Daoist Lin?"
That day, she was walking on the road thinking about the pattern of an ancient talisman for weakness, when she suddenly heard a voice. At first, she didn't realize that it was calling her, but when the other party approached, she sensed it, stopped, and looked vigilantly.
What she saw was a familiar face. A trace of doubt flashed through Lin Xiaoman's mind, but the other party came over with a smile and bowed to her.
"Do you still remember me, Shen Qinglan from the Myriad Beasts Sect?"
Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened in surprise, and he opened his mouth. "Shen Qinglan from the Myriad Beasts Sect? Oh my God, why are you in Wuji City?"
She didn't expect that it was Shen Qinglan, whom she hadn't seen for many years. Since their first meeting, they had never seen each other again and had only contacted each other on the circle of immortal friends.
"I came with my master to attend the Yunling Chamber of Commerce auction. Why are you also in Wuji City?"
Shen Qinglan was also shocked. She didn't have the chance to attend the last Wanling Conference, so this time when her master came, he brought her to see the world. But she didn't expect that even though she came so far, she could still meet Lin Xiaoman in Wuji City. They hadn't met for so many years in Haoyue Continent. This was really fate.
"It's a long story. Let's go. Want a drink? I'll treat you."
Lin Xiaoman just happened to be "off work", so he invited her to drink Baiyuling wine. It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. What an unexpected experience.
When the two went to the wine shop, Lin Xiaoman realized that Shen Qinglan and the others came here for the white jade stone. Moreover, not only them but also many big guys from the Haoyue Continent came here, all for the white jade stone. In the end, no one knew who got it.
"It's a pity that we didn't get to take a picture of the white jade stone this time. My master was in a bad mood and went out of town to do some business."
Shen Qinglan asked Lin Xiaoman, "Why didn't you go back? Those who participated in the Asking the All Spirits Association went back a year ago."
"Don't mention it, I just broke through to the Jindan stage and was in seclusion for a year, so I stayed here."
"Oh, then do you want to come back with us this time? My master's flying sword is perfect for carrying two people."
"When will you return?"
"I'm not sure. It depends on my master."
"I may not be able to leave for the time being. I am currently working as a talisman master at the Yunling Chamber of Commerce and have signed a five-year contract with them, so..."
Lin Xiaoman spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Five years, okay? My master probably won't wait that long. However, it won't be easy for you to go back after that."
Shen Qinglan frowned. "It will take at least a month to get from Wuji City to the nearest Yunmeng City, especially since you have to go through the Misty Forest. It's too risky for you to go alone."
"Let's talk about it later. My master should come to pick me up." It will take another five years anyway. Although Lin Xiaoman was worried about this, he thought that there was no need to worry about it so early.
"Oh, that's right. Don't worry. With your master leading you, there will be no problem."
Shen Qinglan suddenly realized that she had also followed her master here and had a safe journey.
"By the way, do you remember the agreement we made? How about it? Do you need a talisman? I'm already a Heavenly Talisman Master."
Lin Xiaoman clinked glasses with her and said, "It's delicious!" Then he asked Shen Qinglan with a smile.
"Ah? Hahaha, of course I remember. I can't forget the promise of a Heavenly Talisman Master, and I can't bear to forget it."
Lin Xiaoman smiled and shook his head, but Shen Qinglan was an alchemy practitioner, and was now in the Jindan stage. The pills she could refine must have reached the Earth level and were very valuable.
"What talismans do you need? Give me a list and I'll draw them for you first. I'll try to make them before you leave Wuji City."
Shen Qinglan's eyes lit up, "Really? Then I won't be polite."
"Write!"
Lin Xiaoman nodded with a smile.
"Okay. By the way, does your Chamber of Commerce have anyone who can draw a thunder talisman? I think I heard someone say that this talisman is very powerful, but even if you pre-order it now, you have to wait two months to get it. Do you know which talisman master it is? I'd like to order a batch from him."
Lin Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. Is her Thunderbolt Talisman so famous in Wuji City now?!
"Haha, you've found the right person. I drew the thunder talisman. How many do you want?"
"Really? Wow, Fellow Daoist Lin is amazing!"
