Chapter 400: Back to the pre-liberation era
Lin Xiaoman looked back at the place where he woke up, then looked at the young man, and then looked down at the jade slip in his hand.
"Got it? Give me the spirit crystals. Oh, by the way, you people from the lower realm definitely don't have spirit crystals, you only have spirit stones, right? One spirit crystal is equivalent to ten thousand spirit stones. Although ten thousand spirit stones definitely can't be exchanged for one spirit crystal, forget it, just give me ten thousand spirit stones."
Zhang Xiaodao extended his hand to Lin Xiaoman with a cheerful and generous look on his face.
If this had happened in the past, Lin Xiaoman would not have cared about ten thousand spirit stones. It would only take a few minutes for her.
However, in order to overcome the tribulation this time, she emptied out all her savings over the years, and the last few spirit stones she had left were absorbed and used up during her breakthrough.
Now, she is penniless.
All the magic weapons and other things were used up when I was overcoming the tribulation, and all the talismans that should be used were also used.
I originally thought that once I broke through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, I could draw talismans and earn a lot of spirit stones from each one. Besides, Tuanzi also had the White Jade Spirit Wine business, so there would be no shortage of spirit stones.
Who knew that the thunder tribulation in the Spirit Transformation Stage was so difficult? She really spent everything she had and emptied her storage bag. In the end, she still relied on the valley formation to hold on, and even used spirit stones crazily.
When the last thunder came, she took out all the spirit stones to absorb it. At that time, she and Tuanzi were unable to move, so they could only put the spirit stones beside them to absorb them.
I don’t know whether those spirit stones were absorbed in the end, or remained in the valley, or were consumed in the process of her coming to the upper realm?
No matter what, she is penniless now.
"Well, can I owe you something first?"
Thinking about the new world language he had just taken over, Lin Xiaoman said to the other party awkwardly.
"Debt? You don't even have ten thousand spirit stones?" Zhang Xiaodao looked at Lin Xiaoman in disbelief. Are all the cultivators coming up from the lower realm so poor now?
Lin Xiaoman laughed dryly and spread his hands. "I used up all of it when I was overcoming the tribulation. But I'm a talisman master. I can draw talismans and earn spirit stones."
However, the spirit crystals she had heard him mention earlier, could they be the currency used in this world? How could a single spirit crystal be worth ten thousand spirit stones? Wouldn't that be considered a top-grade spirit stone?
It's just a jade slip containing the linguistics of this world, but it costs a high-grade spirit stone to buy it.
My goodness, the prices in this world are horribly high.
"Talisman Master?"
Zhang Xiaodao was slightly stunned. If he was a talisman master, he would be quite rich, but he had never seen a talisman master from the lower world so poor.
He glanced at the robes on Lin Xiaoman, which were also tattered. He looked away in disgust and thought, forget it, it seems that he really has no spirit stones.
"Yes, I am a talisman master. Senior, can you please let me owe you these ten thousand spirit stones first? When I make some spirit stones from selling talismans in the future, I will definitely pay you back."
Lin Xiaoman nodded quickly.
"Okay, what else can I do? You're lucky to have run into me, otherwise, haha."
Zhang Xiaodao was helpless and felt that he was unlucky. When it was his turn to receive the guidance, he actually received such a poor ghost.
"However, you are only at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, how did you ascend to this stage?"
Don’t you have to be in the Mahayana stage to ascend?
Lin Xiaoman was confused. "I don't know either. I just finished my tribulation and came here."
She died unjustly. If she hadn't come up, she could have lived a good life in the Canglan Realm. The God Transformation Stage can be said to be invincible in the Canglan Realm. Most of the big guys in the God Transformation Stage are in seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough and then ascend.
Good heavens, she achieved someone's lifelong wish in one step, but with her strength, she can only be a subordinate in the upper realm.
"That's strange. Come on, follow me to register first."
Strange things happen every year, and he encounters especially many of them.
Lin Xiaoman nodded quickly, followed the other party's footsteps, and flew out on his sword.
But... boy, this is too fast.
"Senior, senior, can you slow down a bit? I, I can't keep up."
After flying for a distance, Lin Xiaoman was very desperate. She was in the Spirit Transformation Stage, she should be a big shot, so why did she fall so much behind in speed?
She had to go through this embarrassing and disappointing experience again. Why wasn't she destined to be a big shot? She had worked so hard to cultivate to a high-level position in the Canglan Realm, but was once again thrown back to the time before liberation. Before she could even experience the pleasure of being a high-level figure, she was beaten back again.
Zhang Xiaodao stopped helplessly, looked back at her and shook his head.
"Hey, I forgot how slow these monks from the lower realm are."
What's more, he was just a young cultivator who was only in the Spirit Transformation Stage. He could only go back to pick up Lin Xiaoman, teleport her away from the reception area, and go to the nearest city to register.
…
Half a month later, in a talisman shop west of Wuling City in the Western Continent of the Cangyue Realm, Li Lu looked at the tall and beautiful woman in front of him and said with a smile.
"This shop sells Yuan Talismans. A primary Yuan Talisman costs one Spirit Crystal. How many do you have?"
Lin Xiaoman smiled awkwardly. She didn't have any. She was just a poor person who came to inquire about the news to know whether she could become rich in the future.
"I want to wait until I have more money before I make a move."
Fortunately, she has always had the habit of hoarding talisman drawing tools such as talisman paper and talisman ink. Otherwise, she would have to spend extra spirit stones, no, spirit crystals to buy these things, which would be an even more devastating blow to her who is already poor.
After leaving the talisman shop, Lin Xiaoman headed west and arrived at the residential area closest to the west city gate. Well, it was all caves. There were no houses. All the houses were made up of caves. Once you entered, the layout was very simple.
Lin Xiaoman rented the simplest cave with the lowest spiritual energy concentration, but even so, the rent was 100 spirit crystals per month.
But fortunately, even in a cave like this, the concentration of spiritual energy is richer than that of her Luoxia Peak.
Just based on this, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but marvel at the abundance of cultivation resources in the upper realm. If she could earn more spirit crystals in this environment and cultivate in a better cave, wouldn't her cultivation level improve in a matter of minutes?!
Back in the cave, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh, and entered the talisman room she had specially arranged, ready to draw talismans.
It's all tears to talk about. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaodao, who led her there, was young and easy to fool. No, he was quite naive. After knowing that Lin Xiaoman really had no spirit stones and would definitely not be able to live in Wuling City, he did not refuse when she asked to borrow spirit crystals.
In the end, Lin Xiaoman borrowed 99 spirit crystals from Zhang Xiaodao, plus the 1 spirit crystal he had borrowed before, so he owed him a total of 100 spirit crystals. He rented this cave and at least had a place to stay in Wuling City.
She had to earn spirit crystals quickly in this month to pay off her debt and renew the lease for next month.
Today was the third day after she settled down in Wuling City. Originally, she had thought of touring around Wuling City to see if there was any way to earn spirit crystals, but Wuling City was too big and she had no time to waste. In the end, she could only look for talismans, which she was best at. Then she discovered in despair that she could only draw and sell elementary Yuan talismans at 1 spirit crystal each.
