I started with five spiritual roots, and I maxed out my sideline

Du Xiaoxiao ignored the talisman book and went to look at the newly refreshed special item. Was it the Aka 47 she knew?

Du Xiaoxiao's interest was piqued, so she opened the manual and read it.

[Aka 47 is an attack-type spiritual weapon from a mysterious country. It is rumored that a high-ranking monk took this weapon and swept all the way from the East to India, and finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved the right result.]

After looking at the introduction, Du Xiaoxiao could only say it was awesome!

Could this eminent monk be some Tibetan who could chant mantras in his previous life?

This system is so interesting. There are many defensive spiritual weapons in it, but none of them are affordable for Du Xiaoxiao at this stage.

Now she still has 900 high-quality spirit stones, and she has to plan how to use them.

To plan and use it reasonably, the best thing now is to learn alchemy or draw talismans.

During the Qi Refining Stage, you can only rely on these to earn spirit stones.

She first checked the price of the alchemy furnace. The cheapest one would cost hundreds of high-quality spirit stones. Her balance was insufficient, so she could only look at items related to drawing talismans first.

Wolf-hair brushes and talismans, these two are relatively cheap.

[Wolf hair brush, top grade, priced at 300 medium-grade spirit stones.]

[Talisman paper, sold for 1 low-grade spirit stone per piece. ]

Du Xiaoxiao bought a wolf-hair brush without hesitation, and then bought a hundred sheets of talisman paper.

With so many things, it should be enough for her to learn how to draw a talisman paper, right?

She quietly exited the system space, planning to come out and test the waters first.

As a student studying painting, she has mastered the pen-control technique by heart, and she doesn’t believe that she can’t learn it!

Opening the collection of talismans given by the system, Du Xiaoxiao planned to start with the simplest-looking immobilization talisman, and then gradually increase the difficulty after success.

Just do it when you say it. Whether you can earn spirit stones depends on the effort you put in.

The master said that it would be difficult for her to achieve great things in cultivation with her spiritual roots, but he didn't say that she had no achievements in other aspects of her talents.

There is nothing difficult in the world, only inward-looking people.

Du Xiaoxiao concentrated and calmed her mind, recalling the direction of the talisman paper before she started writing.

Spiritual power was poured into the wolf-hair brush, and lines of even thickness flowed naturally on the talisman paper. However, in the blink of an eye, there was an extra piece of paper in her hand. Hmm, I said it wrong, it was a handful of ash.

I lost control when I put the pen to paper, and out of excitement, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted.

"Oh, it turns out that I can't get too excited. I have to change this bad habit." Du Xiaoxiao blew the bangs that covered her eyes and got up to draw another one.

I have found the feeling a little bit, the next one will definitely be a success!

With this idea in mind, she failed three more times.

She looked at the ashes on her hands with a dejected look.

What exactly is missing?

How about asking your brother?

She then picked up the jade slip and was about to inject spiritual power into it to initiate communication, but someone grabbed her neck from behind.

"Ugh." The strong feeling of suffocation made her feel like she was about to die.

"Hero, please spare my life!" She squeezed out a few words with difficulty from between her teeth. The feeling of suffocation reminded her that if she didn't beg for mercy, she would really die.

The force loosened a little and Du Xiaoxiao gasped for breath.

"Don't make any noise, I'll spare your life." A low voice like a cello came from the back of my head.

Du Xiaoxiao nodded quickly.

"Hero, if you have something to say, please tell me. I won't make it public." He really would thank him. Today was the closest he had ever felt to death in his life, not counting the sudden death from staying up late in his previous life!

The force on the neck loosened, and even the restriction of the golden elixir was ignored. It must be that the person who came was very powerful.

This person might have been injured and needed a quiet place to recuperate. Perhaps he did not expect that this sect would suddenly recruit new disciples. He did not even look around the room, so he did not know that such a person existed.

Moreover, if he called his senior brothers and masters, he would be at risk of being discovered, so he threatened with his own life...

"Oh, I'm so unlucky that even drinking cold water will get a toothache." Du Xiaoxiao analyzed the situation and muttered to herself knowing that her life was saved.

"I won't disturb you. If you have anything to do, go there in person. It's best not to let anyone find me, otherwise."

The vase that was placed as decoration in Du Xiaoxiao's room was broken into pieces. A gust of wind blew away and nothing was left.

She shuddered. Damn it, why was he so fierce? She just didn't say anything and let him figure it out on his own!

"Then can you teach me how to draw talismans?" For her, a person in the Qi Refining Stage who couldn't even wield a sword, to run across several mountains to find a master was a risk to her life, so she might as well muster up the courage to ask the monster in front of her.

He has a body of a snake and a tail. Although it looks weird, he must be a cultivator, right?

Bei Mingzhao's forehead was throbbing with veins. This little girl really took advantage of the situation.

Forget it, since she is very obedient, just teach her!

"Draw it for me once."

Upon hearing this, Du Xiaoxiao quickly started drawing a picture.

I don’t know if it was because she was frightened or what, but this time it seemed like everything happened naturally. She finished the painting in one stroke, and then she entered a mysterious realm.

She feels that now she can paint freely and succeed in any way.

Bei Mingzhao was silent. Could this little girl have done this on purpose?

Why didn’t it work just now?

It seems like she just learned to draw talismans? How could she succeed so quickly?

My own talent was one of the best before, and it took me more than a month to successfully draw a talisman.

Looking at the person in front of him who was in meditation with complicated eyes, he flicked his sleeves and simply closed his eyes to meditate.

It was not until the second half of the night that Du Xiaoxiao came out of that mysterious state after she was exhausted.

At this moment, it was as if the aftereffects of drinking had come on, she felt dizzy and her body was hollowed out.

Du Xiaoxiao simply moved to the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Now she felt dizzy and her eyes were dark, and she just wanted to have a good sleep.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep without any psychological burden.

I didn't even see the message that popped up from the system.

next day

Du Xiaoxiao was woken up by someone splashing cold water on her.

She sat up from the bed with a start.

"It's raining?" He sat up in a panic and touched his face.

"Look at the sun for yourself." Bei Mingzhao threw away the basin wrapped around his tail, his face gloomy.

Du Xiaoxiao had no idea what was wrong with him, so she just treated him as an alarm clock and didn't bother with him.

"I'll get up and practice right away!" Du Xiaoxiao still felt a sense of emptiness in her body. Perhaps it was because her spiritual power had not recovered last night?

After rubbing her aching head, she went out to meditate in the sun, silently reciting the Heart Sutra that the original owner had practiced.

The spiritual energy turned into silk threads and slowly flowed into her body.

Slowly, that feeling of emptiness disappeared.

Just around noon, Du Xiaoxiao saw someone riding a sword coming from a distance.

Is this for her? What about the big snake that was in her house last night?

Du Xiaoxiao hurried back to her room, but where could she see anyone else?

Only scattered talismans and a trace of blood remained on the ground.
