The third member of the Wen Shi family who was in the imperial capital was finally vaccinated like everyone else. After personally feeling the physical changes brought about by the vaccine, Wen Shiyu felt that the ten thousand yuan was well worth it. If it were not for the extraordinary period, such a vaccine would probably have been priced at one hundred thousand or one million and there would be people vying for it.
What made Wen Shiyu most happy was that she had a golden finger. She found that she actually carried a Taobao mall with her and could directly buy things in Taobao mall with real currency. The prices had not changed from the past. However, prices outside were skyrocketing now, even with state control.
When she found out that this was the portable Taobao Mall and not the Taobao app on her phone, her heart started pounding. She knew in her previous life that there was a black market in the capital. The prices of items on the black market were several times higher than outside, and food was sold at a particularly high price. She made her fortune entirely by reselling on Taobao Mall.
She was excited for a long time, but finally suppressed the idea. She knew very well how chaotic the black market was. Once someone targeted her and she had a large source of food, she and her parents would definitely not be able to escape, unless she had a strong backer.
Thinking of Xiao Jingrong, Wen Shiyu was a little hesitant, but the current situation in the imperial capital was different from that in her previous life. Perhaps it was because the news of the end of the world was known in advance, and the vaccine was fully promoted, so there were not many changes in the top leadership of China at present. Just like the last major earthquake in City N, the final statistics of deaths and missing people were far less than in the previous life.
She also inquired about the situation of the Xiao family. Due to the influence of Xiao Jingxuan, the Xiao family's influence in the imperial capital is limited. Even the Wu family is not as powerful as in the previous life. Maybe the time has not come yet. But if Xiao Jingrong did not call the shots in the imperial capital like in the previous life, she would have Taobao Mall. Is it necessary to cling to this golden thigh? She can completely rely on Taobao Mall to live a life of plenty.
Wen Shiyu was thinking about these things while queuing up to get water. Suddenly, she was pushed by a force from behind and almost stumbled. She was annoyed and looked back: "What are you looking at?"
"Oh, sorry, I bumped into you, how about I buy you a glass of water as an apology?" The person who bumped into Wen Shi from behind said with a grin.
Nowadays it is popular to invite people to drink water.
Wen Shiyu was attracted by another person in the group. It was Xiao Jingrong, whom she had been thinking about before. She didn't expect to meet him here. Although he was in good condition, he was not as high-spirited as she saw him in her previous life.
"Hey, why are you staring at Brother Xiao? Are you attracted to Brother Xiao again? Brother Xiao, does this lady know you?" The nonchalant man asked Xiao Jingrong.
Xiao Jingrong looked over, glanced at Wen Shiyu and then moved away, leaving behind three emotionless words: "I don't know her, I'm leaving."
"Hey, don't walk so fast. Even if we don't know each other, we can still get to know each other now. Beauty, let's make an appointment another day." He turned around and greeted Wen Shiyu before chasing Xiao Jingrong.
That look of complete disregard made Wen Shiyu shudder as if she had drunk a mouthful of ice water. Yes, the person she knew was Xiao Jingxuan, but how could Xiao Jingrong know her? Besides, Xiao Jingxuan was still in jail.
If she had just been reborn, she would have rushed over desperately and tried every means to stay by Xiao Jingrong's side, but it has been three months since she was reborn, which is enough time for her to calm down, especially since many changes have taken place in this life compared to the previous one.
Wen Shiyu gritted her teeth and wondered whether she should take a gamble. As long as there was no major shock in China's top leadership and order was not disrupted, even ordinary people could live a well-fed and well-dressed life. The thing she was least worried about now was food and drink.

After Feifei and Xiaojie studied together, Yuan Jing let them watch cartoons and play games. With the addition of two dogs, laughter and barking could be heard from time to time.
Yuan Jing was sitting in the living room. After watching the convoy and the people who moved to Y City last time, an idea popped up in Yuan Jing's mind. This was because as he practiced, he found that the spiritual energy factors in the air were increasing. Although the speed was not fast, he still noticed it.
"Xiao Wu, do you think the changes in this world are due to the revival of spiritual energy?"
"Host, the changes in this world are not caused by the revival of spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy in this world has become extremely weak, it has not been completely cut off. Now, because of the arrival of the end of the world, this world is also releasing some spiritual energy factors. These spiritual energy factors help to enhance people's physical fitness."
"Will it also cause changes in animals and plants? They are more sensitive to the existence of spiritual energy factors than humans."
"...Yes." The system had to admit that the host was right. "What does the host want to do?"
"Can I use talismans and formations in this world?"
“…There are no restrictions.”
"That's good."
Yuan Jing was thinking that one day there would be no supply of water and electricity, and the climate would become increasingly extreme and abnormal. How would people resist then?
In addition to becoming stronger ourselves, we can also seek help from external forces. Technology is one aspect, and cultivating civilization with the help of spiritual factors is another.
So he wanted to try making some talismans and formations to see if they could replace electrical appliances like air conditioners to make people's lives more comfortable.
So Yuan Jing put the matter of alchemy aside for the time being and focused on talismans and formations. For this purpose, he specially found a shop that was still open and bought yellow paper, cinnabar and talisman pens. Yuan Jing didn't know whether these things could be used. After studying for a while, Yuan Jing decided to give it a try.
He specially added some spiritual spring water to the cinnabar, so that the effect of the cinnabar should be better.
The first talisman that he tried to draw was called a constant temperature talisman, which could automatically adjust the temperature. This kind of talisman was of course useless in the world of cultivation. Since they were all cultivating immortals, they would naturally be immune to cold and heat. Yuan Jing, who had already reached the third level of Qi training, had already deeply understood this. In fact, the high temperature outside did not affect him much.
Unfortunately, Feifei is still young, and now we can only use the spiritual spring and the fruits and vegetables in the space to regulate his body. I can only teach him to practice and get him started when he grows up.
As a result, more than a dozen pieces of yellow paper failed. Yuan Jing put down his pen and frowned. He always felt that his writing was not smooth and was blocked. Could it be that the yellow paper was not good? Or did he need to make talisman paper himself?
Fortunately, Yuan Jing had made preparations for both situations. He planted spiritual herbs for making talisman paper in the space. The talisman book also introduced how to make talisman paper. Yuan Jing only needed the simplest one. After it matured, Yuan Jing made more than one hundred pieces of talisman paper in total. They were also yellow, but it was obvious that they contained spiritual energy.
Using new talisman paper and cinnabar mixed with spiritual spring water, Yuan Jing succeeded in the experiment for the first time. A constant temperature talisman was made. Of course, when Yuan Jing activated it, the temperature around him did not change.
Yuan Jing smiled. The air conditioner was on in the room all the time, so there would be no changes. So he took the talisman paper, opened the door and walked into the yard. Although the top of the yard was insulated, the temperature was still nearly 40 degrees. But as soon as Yuan Jing came out, the heat was excluded from a certain range.
"It really works, it worked!" Yuan Jing smiled happily. This is much easier than using electricity, and it can be used regardless of whether it is hot or cold. "I wonder how long this constant temperature talisman can be used."
Yuan Jing used this constant temperature talisman in the vegetable garden. Because the temperature was too high, the vegetables in the field were wilting. However, one constant temperature talisman was not enough to cover the entire vegetable garden. Yuan Jing turned back to the house and made a few more to enclose the entire vegetable garden. It was obvious that the temperature in the yard had dropped a little.
In the house, first Big Black and Little Black jumped out, barking happily in the yard, swinging their tails like windmills. It was obvious that they liked the environment outside very much. I guess it was because of the spiritual energy. Thinking of the spirit gathering formation in the formation book, maybe if we set up a spirit gathering formation in the yard, these vegetables would grow well without adding spiritual spring water.
"Uncle, oh, the yard is cooler. Has the weather gotten better?" Feifei and Xiaojie ran out behind him and wanted to go outside to take a look.
"No, it was my uncle who used something, so the temperature in the yard dropped a little."
"Then Xiaojie and I can go out and play."
"Well, go ahead and play."
When Feifei and Xiaojie were having fun in the yard, Huo Feng came again, still alone. Yuan Jing was a little curious about what reason he used to keep Lu Peng and Zhao Yonggang. It was obvious that Lu Peng wanted to make fun of Huo Feng.
Huo Feng also noticed the situation in the yard when he arrived. He thought it was the cold air coming from the air conditioner in the house, and it seemed a little different. Then when he entered the living room, he found the things on the table in the living room. Huo Feng paused. Is Yuan Jing obsessed with Taoist superstition and drawing talismans at home?
"Yuan Jing, what are you doing?"
Yuan Jing had never thought of hiding the matter of practicing from his lover. He wanted to choose an appropriate time to tell this person and let him practice together. It was obvious that martial arts alone were not enough to cope with this world. In addition, he drew talismans not only for himself, but also wanted to see if he could make it popular.
Yuan Jing raised his head and smiled: "You saw it, I am drawing a talisman, you can help me do an experiment later."
Huo Feng's forehead was dripping with sweat. He knew that Yuan Jing wrote online novels. He glanced at them a few times, but unfortunately he didn't have time to finish reading them. Could it be that he was obsessed with these things because of writing novels? "Yuan Jing, this kind of thing is superstition."
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Just tell me, will you help me with the experiment?"
"Help!" Huo Feng said with his head held high, showing a strong desire to survive.
"Then wait."
So Yuan Jing didn't care what Huo Feng was thinking about, and started to make a constant temperature talisman, asking Huo Feng to take it with him and go out to see how effective it was and how long it could last.
Huo Feng opened his mouth to say something, but seeing Yuan Jing writing very seriously, the dragon and phoenix were flying and dancing, and the posture was very beautiful, but what kind of symbol was this? Oh, no, it seemed that there was a flash of light.
After drawing another one, Yuan Jing waited until the cinnabar on it dried, then walked over to Huo Feng, folded the one and put it in his pocket, then patted his chest and said, "Go out for a walk and feel it. Come back when you can't feel anything."
Huo Feng was confused. Although this pat on his chest made his heart beat faster, what did all these words mean? He wanted to ask, but Yuan Jing had already turned his body and pushed him out: "Leave first and come back later."
Huo Feng was pushed out of the yard by Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing smiled brightly, but the next moment he closed the gate. Huo Feng stood in front of the door with a frown on his face. Qi Yuan happened to come to pick up Xiao Jie to go home for dinner. Seeing Huo Feng in a daze at the door, he kindly reminded him: "Mr. Huo, do you want to knock on the door to get in? Yuan Jing is at home. Let me help Mr. Huo knock on the door?"
"Ah, no need. I just came out from inside. I have something to do and will leave first. I will be back later." Although Huo Feng didn't want to leave Qi Yuan alone with Yuan Jing, he couldn't disobey Yuan Jing's words, so he said hello to Qi Yuan and turned to leave.
Qi Yuan had already gone in. After leaving Yuan Jing's house, Huo Feng was still wondering what Yuan Jing meant by that. When he couldn't figure it out, he thought of the talisman that Yuan Jing had placed in his pocket. He just reached out to touch it and suddenly realized that something was wrong with his body.
"Why is the temperature outside not so hot anymore? What's going on?" Huo Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his mind finally came to a clear idea. "Could it be that talisman?"
Huo Feng wanted to remove the talisman from his body and feel if it was the power of the talisman paper, but he was worried about leaving the talisman paper. What if someone else found out? If the talisman paper really had such a great effect, one could imagine what would happen if others knew about it.
So he couldn't do that, so he kept going. Did Yuan Jing mean to let him see how long the talisman paper could work? Yuan Jing trusted him now, and he couldn't let him down.
Huo Feng strolled around outside like this, and even watched the time. Half an hour later, the scorching heat enveloped his body again. Huo Feng's eyes were filled with shock and surprise. It was incredible that a small talisman paper could have such a great effect! Yuan Jing was really a big treasure!
Huo Feng turned around and walked hurriedly into the community, anxious to see Yuan Jing explain his personal experience, and eager to learn more about this person. It turned out that what he knew about Yuan Jing was only superficial.
When he returned to Yuan Jing's house, Qi Yuan and his son were gone. Huo Feng was satisfied that this guy named Qi had some good eyesight.
Seeing the joy on Huo Feng's face, Yuan Jing knew that the effect should be good. He checked the time and asked, "How about half an hour?"
"Yes, I walked outside for half an hour and didn't feel the heat at all. It's amazing." Huo Feng said excitedly, "By the way, is there such a thing in the yard?"
"You found it? Yes, I used it in the vegetable garden to test how long I could maintain a constant temperature."
"constant temperature?"
"Yes, this is a thermostatic charm."
Huo Feng suddenly became tongue-tied, not knowing how to express his thoughts, and not knowing whether it would be abrupt to express such thoughts. Feifei blinked her big eyes and looked at Huo Feng curiously: "Uncle Huo is so weird."
Yuan Jing chuckled and rubbed Feifei's head: "Don't say that, your uncle Huo just hasn't figured out how to ask your uncle a question."
"Oh." Feifei's expression of "I see." made Huo Feng speechless. This little guy was also laughing at him. It must be that he learned it from that brat Lu Peng.
He came over, picked Feifei up and threw him into the air. Feifei screamed happily. He loved this kind of flying game. He loved Uncle Huo who could take him flying high.
Yuan Jing shook his head and smiled, waiting for them to have enough fun.
