Chapter 6: At first glance, it looks like a ghost painting
When Lin Xiaoman saw that Wu Shan had indeed gone to the door to take down the sign recruiting apprentices, she quickly turned around and ran out.
There are no vacancies left at the alchemy shop, so I hurried to the talisman shop, hoping I could still catch up.
Good man, you have to draw the Qi into your body as soon as possible, otherwise you can’t even become an apprentice.
Mo Youfang said that all the apprentices in these shops in Andu City were reserved for their newly recruited preparatory disciples, but each time they recruited at least 800 preparatory disciples, if not 1,000. There were only four markets in the city, distributed in the east, south, west and north directions, and there were only so many shops in each market. Moreover, these preparatory disciples were not allowed to cross regions when "competing" for apprenticeships.
Lin Xiaoman and the others were in Dongfang City. She didn't know how many prospective disciples there were in this area, but the sooner she could draw the Qi into her body, the better, so that she could find apprenticeship job opportunities first.
I ran all the way to the talisman shop and asked, "Hello, are you still hiring apprentices?"
"Recruit, there are still two spots available."
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he quickly raised his hand. "I'll sign up!"
"Okay, please show me your ID token."
Lin Xiaoman quickly handed the identity token to the other party. After operating together, she was taken to the backyard of the shop and saw an old man sitting in the yard. There was a table in front of him and a chair opposite him.
"You're here to sign up as an apprentice, come over here."
Seeing Lin Xiaoman coming over, the other party just glanced at her, waved at her and said.
Lin Xiaoman saluted him and hurried over. "Greetings, Senior."
The other party nodded and gestured for her to look at the book on the table, on which were written the words "Talisman Book".
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. Look at any talisman in this booklet and draw it."
Lin Xiaoman was slightly stunned. This was a test of memory, and she felt a little relieved.
"good."
Seeing that she was ready, the old man casually opened the booklet, and what was presented to Lin Xiaoman was a picture that looked like a scribble at first glance, and it was still a scribble when you looked at it again.
Lin Xiaoman's mouth twitched. Although she couldn't understand it, she could model. The science test king was never afraid of doing questions!!!
Calming down, Lin Xiaoman first looked at the overall picture, then split the talisman into several parts, and connected them in his mind. A quarter of an hour was up!
"Okay, you can start painting now. You'll be done in a quarter of an hour."
The old man casually closed the book and motioned her to use the pen and ink beside her to paint.
Lin Xiaoman nodded, grabbed the brush next to him and prepared to draw the talisman, but... "Senior, do you have any charcoal? I don't know how to use this brush."
The old man was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such a request. He frowned and asked, "Carbon?"
"Yeah, or burnt dry wood will do."
"No, we all use this. Can you do it? If not, then..."
Lin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed the brush, "I can do it, I can do it."
Obviously, she is not spoiled. Just use the brush as it is. If she is gentle, it shouldn't turn into a black mess.
She tried not to keep her pen on the paper for too long, and drew on the paper according to the structure she had broken down in her mind.
After a while, Lin Xiaoman put down her pen and looked at the huge talisman on the paper. She couldn't bear to look at it. She looked at the old man opposite her guiltily, put down her pen quickly, stood up and said respectfully.
"Senior, I've finished the painting."
Although it is several times larger than the original talisman, at least it is drawn correctly.
There was no way, she was afraid that if she drew it according to the original proportions, she would end up with a black mess.
The old man looked at the talisman she drew for a long time, then looked at Lin Xiaoman several times, and finally put it down.
"qualified!"
Although the symbol was unusually large, it was indeed drawn correctly, without any error.
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up. "Really? Can I be an apprentice here?"
"right."
The old man then turned and left, and the young man who had brought her in came over. "Congratulations, my name is Wang Qiang, and we'll be working together from now on. Apprentices are required to be in the shop from Chenshi to Shenshi every day, with lunch provided. The monthly salary is 300 spirit beads, and work starts tomorrow. Any questions?"
How could Lin Xiaoman not be satisfied? As an intern, no, an apprentice, with free food and salary, the treatment shouldn't be too good, right?
"no problem."
After coming out of the talisman shop, Lin Xiaoman's stomach was rumbling with hunger. She happened to pass by a bun shop, and the aroma wafting over made her crave it.
She touched her storage bag and found 100 spirit beads in it. Now that she didn't have to pay rent, she just had to ensure this month's living expenses.
These 100 spirit beads were not a lot, but they were enough to buy some steamed buns. She could have lunch at the talisman shop, so she only had to take care of her breakfast and dinner.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoman walked over and spent 4 spirit beads to buy two steamed buns. He took a bite and found them sweet and delicious.
While eating and walking, Lin Xiaoman remembered the daily necessities she wanted to buy. Since these things did not contain any spiritual energy, they were very cheap and only cost her 5 spirit beads.
Now that he had already bought the pots and pans, Lin Xiaoman thought about buying some spiritual rice. It would be nice to cook a meal sometimes. If the steamed buns in the world of cultivation were so delicious, then the rice should be good too, right?!
Then she ran to buy two kilograms of spiritual rice. The oil, salt, soy sauce and other seasonings were not expensive. She also bought five eggs, a handful of green vegetables, a handful of cowpeas, ginger, garlic, chili peppers and other items, spending a total of 10 spiritual beads.
Lin Xiaoman returned with a full load. His bag was packed to the brim and he was carrying a bag of things on his back. He looked very painful and hurried to Yuehe Village.
Wow, she thought only the spiritual rice was expensive, but who knew vegetables and eggs were also expensive. When she asked, she said they were nourished by spiritual energy.
After returning home, Lin Xiaoman quickly started cleaning the house. It was not until dark that she managed to clean the house. She was so tired that she was exhausted. She quickly ate the remaining steamed bun and drank a bowl of water. Lin Xiaoman suppressed her fatigue and returned to her room to start practicing.
This time, she quickly sensed the spiritual energy and wanted to capture it into her body. Although the process was boring, she felt very comfortable when the spiritual energy entered her body, and Lin Xiaoman was very willing to do so.
I kept grabbing and grabbing, and I don't know how long it was. I felt a slight movement in my heart and opened my eyes. The village bell rang, and class was about to start.
Although she had practiced all night, Lin Xiaoman was full of energy and not tired at all. She sensed it and found that the spiritual power in her dantian had increased from one strand to two strands. Lin Xiaoman grinned happily. If she increased a little bit every day, she would become stronger sooner or later. May she live a long life, hehe.
Now, she has entered the ranks of cultivators. As a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, she can live to at least 100 years old without any illness or disaster. Therefore, she easily achieved the highest level of blessing in her previous life.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoman felt that this time travel was a huge profit.
He stretched, climbed out of bed, washed up, locked the door, and hurried to the village classroom.
