Chapter 290 Seeing the White Jade Stone
"Meow."
"Squeak."
The cat and the mouse gave Lin Xiaoman an affirmative answer. They also felt that life without meat was too unhappy.
"Hey, you guys think so too, right? Oh, I can't do this next month. I still have to give myself a treat once in a while."
But if you want to have extra meals, you need some spare time. Where should you take this spare time?
The morning time is spent on hard work, and half of the afternoon time is already reserved for the task of drawing the City Lord's Mansion. I can't squeeze out any more time to learn new talismans, so I can only practice at home after work.
Looking down at the beautiful white jade in his hand, Lin Xiaoman sighed, "I thought I could spare some time, but I didn't expect that I still have to squeeze it out of my practice time."
With the cultivation of white jade stone, her cultivation speed will be faster, and similarly, her mental power cultivation will also be faster.
That is to say, the increase in her cultivation and mental strength that she could achieve by practicing for four hours in the past, can now be achieved in three hours by practicing with white jade. The saved hour is enough for her to have a delicious meal.
So, for the next month, Lin Xiaoman changed her schedule. It turns out that she was not that tired anymore. Moreover, with the blessing of the white jade stone, she recovered her spiritual power and mental strength much faster each time. Her efficiency in drawing talismans also increased a lot.
Under this virtuous cycle, Lin Xiaoman lived a much more comfortable life this month and found the balance between his cultivation and drawing talismans.
Every day I can feel my progress in the art of talismans, and my cultivation level is growing a little bit. Over time, I believe that one day there will be a breakthrough.
It feels great to practice with white jade every day, but three hundred pieces of white jade are really not very durable. In addition to practicing every day, she also needs to use it to restore her spiritual power, so she can use up two pieces of white jade.
Six thousand spirit stones were gone in an instant. If you really count them, that’s at least ten thousand spirit stones.
Lin Xiaoman felt pain every time she used it, and she worked harder and faster to draw the talisman. Even when Wu Yu asked her to go drinking, she refused several times.
Little did she know that there were almost no people in this world who were willing to waste white jade on cultivation.
Lin Xiaoman naturally didn't know about this. She understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth, so she always used the white jade secretly.
Earning 2,500 White Jade Stones a month seemed like it would last a long time, but… if she needed them urgently for a breakthrough, the White Jade Stones wouldn't last long. She needed them for her own breakthrough, and they also needed them for Baibai and Tuanzi's breakthroughs.
Moreover, Lin Xiaoman has to consider the future. After she leaves Wuji City in five years, she will not be able to find white jade anywhere else.
Therefore, she still wanted to save some more white jade in her pocket for future use.
Because of the white jade stone, during this period of time, not only Tuanzi has been immersed in cultivation, but even Baibai sleeps with the white jade stone in his arms all day long.
Lin Xiaoman's cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion has been progressing steadily. She earns 2,500 pieces of white jade every month, and then she gives 500 pieces each to Tuanzi and Baibai. The two little guys happily accept it and practice harder.
This went on month after month in Wuji City. By the end of the first year after Lin Xiaoman woke up in Wuji City, she had saved up more than 20,000 pieces of white jade. At this time, Tuanzi brought her good news.
"Xiaoman, I saw it, I saw the white jade."
That day, Lin Xiaoman was practicing, when suddenly Tuanzi's joyful voice came to his mind, and Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up.
"Really? Tuanzi, are you awake?"
"Meow~ I'm awake. I saw white jade. I'm in a huge palace. It's covered with white jade. There's so much of it. It's so comfortable."
Thinking about that scene, Tuanzi felt like his mouth was watering, it smelled so good.
Lin Xiaoman was very surprised. She said that this white jade stone had benefits. If Tuanzi absorbed it well, he might gain something. So here it comes.
She quickly stood up and paced back and forth excitedly, "Where is it? Is it outside Wuji City or inside the city? I will ask President Yu for leave tomorrow, and we will go mining together."
Hahahaha, God helps her!
"Meow? I don't know. I just saw a palace. It's very beautiful and very comfortable. When we find it in the future, we can live there too. It's so comfortable."
"ah?"
Lin Xiaoman's joyful face froze. "You don't know? How could you not know? Didn't you see it?"
"Meow, I only saw one picture."
Tuanzi lay in Lin Xiaoman's arms a little depressed, meowing softly, which was so adorable.
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll take it slow. What we can see now is already a breakthrough. Maybe after a while, we'll remember everything."
"Meow."
Tuanzi called out softly, lying in Lin Xiaoman's arms, his purple eyes looking at the night outside the window, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Although the exact location is still unknown, this is good news. At least it gives them hope.
......
Early that morning, Lin Xiaoman was about to go to the Yunling Chamber of Commerce to "work" when Wu Yu ran over.
"Xiao Man, how are you planning to celebrate the New Year?"
Lin Xiaoman blinked, "Is this how we're going to live?"
Although the New Year celebrations are also held in the world of immortal cultivation, the atmosphere is not that strong. At most, friends and relatives get together. However, many cultivators are in seclusion for years or even decades, so it is difficult to get together.
"Hey, Wuji City has a special event this year. You will definitely be interested in participating."
"What activity?"
Lin Xiaoman ate the sesame cakes he made while walking towards the Yunling Chamber of Commerce and handed one to Wu Yu.
"Hey, the reward is White Jade Spirit Wine. Are you interested?"
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "Yes!!!"
"Hahahaha, I knew you were interested. There's more to the reward. I'm telling you, there's also supposedly white jade from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Oh, what activity?"
Lin Xiaoman's interest was immediately piqued, and all the rewards were her favorites.
"hide and seek."
Lin Xiaoman almost tripped over her own feet, but fortunately she was a cultivator, and in the Jindan stage, so this little accident could be easily resolved.
She stood her ground as if nothing had happened and turned to ask Karasuba.
"Hide and seek? Play games?"
"Games? You can do it, right? That's easy. How about we team up?"
"No, first tell me what this game of hide-and-seek is. Who's hiding and who's catching?"
"Of course, it's up to the participating monks to catch them. Hidden within are treasures that the City Lord has placed throughout the Misty Forest. As long as you find the treasure, not only will it belong to the finder, but if you place in the top three in terms of the number of treasures you find, you'll receive a reward."
Without waiting for Lin Xiaoman to ask, he began to decipher the secret for her. "First place will receive 3,000 pieces of white jade, second place will receive 1,000 pieces of white jade, and third place will receive 200 pieces of white jade, plus 1,000 kilograms of white jade spirit wine."
