Chapter 32: Survive to the End
A fair-skinned boy who looked to be about ten years old stood up, poked the fallen rhinoceros with the sword in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dead."
After saying that, he turned to look at Li Qingyue, who was slumped on the ground on the other side, "Third sister, are you okay?"
Li Qingyue shook her head. "It's okay. We have to leave here quickly."
"Yes, the smell of blood here is too strong and it will easily attract other monsters."
Another person who came back to help spoke, and Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but look over. She was deeply impressed by this person because when they were beating up the rhino, she found that the fireballs thrown by this person were much bigger than hers, and he also knew swordsmanship.
Although the young boy who was close to Li Qingyue was holding a sword in his hand, it was just a fake move. Compared with this man, he was on a completely different level.
Li Qingyue glanced at the fallen rhino, then looked at Lin Xiaoman, "Fellow Daoist Lin, thank you very much. If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid..."
Not to mention losing your life, you will definitely be eliminated.
Lin Xiaoman smiled and did not refuse the thanks. She did save Li Qingyue.
"Friend Lin, right? My name is Li Li, Qingyue's brother. You saved my sister today. I'll remember this favor. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to me."
Lin Xiaoman bowed to him, "Fellow Daoist Li."
"If Fellow Daoist Lin hadn't intervened today, we wouldn't have been able to capture this rhino. Fellow Daoist Lin takes 50%, and the remaining 50% is split between the three of us. Is that okay?"
Lin Xiaoman glanced at Li Qingyue and the other person and said he had no objection.
Li Li seemed to be waiting for Lin Xiaoman's answer. Seeing this, he turned around and said to the other boy who was about ten years old.
"Hu Jianghe, your storage bag should be bigger. Put the rhino away first."
"good."
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up slightly. Storage bag?
Hu Jianghe walked forward and instantly put the huge rhinoceros into his storage bag. Lin Xiaoman then noticed that he had a very ordinary bag hanging around his waist.
So this is the storage bag.
After packing up the rhinoceros, they prepared to leave. Lin Xiaoman was of course unwilling to run away, as she had a nice cave there for her to hide in.
"I found a cave nearby and am currently living there, so I won't go with you."
"Friend Lin, can I buy some talismans from you?"
"Okay, what kind of charm do you want?"
"The Speed Talisman and the Fire Bullet Talisman, and the Water Arrow Talisman you used on the rhino earlier."
Li Qingyue was only an alchemy cultivator after all. She had no offensive skills and joined the team mainly to replenish everyone's elixirs. So sometimes when they encountered powerful monsters and had to escape, she was at a disadvantage. Although her second brother was there to take care of them, sometimes he was too late to take care of them.
"I can produce 20 Speed Talismans and Fire Bullet Talismans each, but I'm running low on Water Arrow Talismans, so I can only produce 10."
Li Li's eyes lit up, "You still have talismans?"
He had guessed it when he saw Lin Xiaoman throwing talismans for free before, but he didn't expect that today was only the fourth day and she could still take out so many talismans to sell.
"That's all. Oh, and the Water Arrow Talisman is more expensive, 250 Spiritual Pearls or 2 Spiritual Stones."
Li Qingyue didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward to pay, "I'll take them all, thank you."
The price Lin Xiaoman gave her was always the same as Lu Youling's. Ordinary basic talismans such as the Speed Talisman were 80 spirit beads each, and the Water Arrow Talisman was sold for 300 spirit beads each, but she sold it for 250 spirit beads.
Although he used up a handful of fire bomb talismans and water arrow talismans when he came out to collect firewood, Lin Xiaoman also collected half of a first-level rhinoceros monster. Now he has opened another business and earned 45 spirit stones.
Li Qingyue was worthy of being someone with a family in Andu City. She gave him spirit stones as soon as he got the spirit beads, and when he exchanged them for spirit stones, he gave her an extra spirit stone.
Lin Xiaoman happily accepted the spirit stone, gave her the talisman, and waved goodbye to leave.
The two sides ran away quickly in two different directions, so as not to stay here too long and encounter other monsters attracted by the smell of blood.
Lin Xiaoman did not return to the cave first. Instead, he went to the stream to wash his hands, performed several cleansing spells on himself, and then returned to the cave.
After being busy for a whole morning, Lin Xiaoman was already very hungry. She quickly lit a fire and boiled water to prepare the snake meat. Today, she planned to fry the snake meat and cook a pot of spiritual rice to go with it.
She heated up the oil in a pan, controlled the heat, and put a dozen or so pieces of snake meat that she had cut into the size of her palm into the pan. She fried them slowly over low heat until they were golden brown, then turned them over and continued frying them. She sprinkled seasonings evenly on them, and the aroma slowly wafted out. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva while resisting her craving.
When the snake meat is almost fried, take out pieces one by one and put them aside. Then boil water in a pot and put a handful of washed wild vegetables in. After boiling, take them out and mix them with chili, sesame oil, etc. At this time, the spiritual rice in the clay pot is also cooked. Everything is ready and you can start eating.
Lin Xiaoman happily picked up the bowl of spiritual rice and started to eat it. The pan-fried snake meat also had a unique flavor. In a word, one word, delicious!
After eating his fill, Lin Xiaoman packed up his things and prepared to draw talismans.
50 talismans were distributed today, especially the Water Arrow Talisman. Unexpectedly, the Water Arrow Talisman was much more powerful than the Fire Bomb Talisman. She had to draw more.
That afternoon, Lin Xiaoman was frantically drawing water arrow talismans. In the evening, after having a meal of snake meat that was full of spiritual energy, he took the time to practice.
It is not known whether Lin Xiaoman was lucky or the monsters were lured away by other people. In the next few days, Lin Xiaoman only went out to the stream to fetch water or to the woods to collect firewood once a day. The rest of the time he was drawing talismans and practicing in the cave.
Time passed quickly during such fulfilling days. In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day. Lin Xiaoman successfully survived the final countdown. Not only did she break through to the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, but she also improved her success rate in drawing talismans. She even completed the one-month task, and the success rate of the Water Arrow Talisman reached 50%.
Half of the snake meat in the storage bag had been eaten. Fortunately, she had marinated it with salt, and the storage bag was good at preserving it, so it didn't go bad after so many days.
Lin Xiaoman squatted by the stream and couldn't help but look up at the blue sky and sigh. Snake meat is delicious, but eating it every day will make you sick of it. She wanted to have something vegetarian.
"How about we eat some cold wild vegetables today?"
After returning to the cave, Lin Xiaoman prepared the meal and thought about it. For the sake of cultivation, she decided to cook some snake meat soup. After all, this was monster meat with high spiritual power, which was very beneficial for cultivation. In just a few days, she had stabilized her cultivation level at the second level of Qi Refining Stage and even improved a little.
While waiting for the snake meat soup to be ready, Lin Xiaoman was still thinking about whether to continue soaking the rice in the soup, when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
Lin Xiaoman tensed up all over and quickly went to the cave entrance to look out, hoping that nothing would happen to her at the last moment.
