In a somewhat messy room in the stilt house, a woman was staring with two panda eyes that were full of bloodshot. The yellow talisman papers around her were scattered all over the ground, and the area around the table was stained with red monster blood. However, she had no time to take care of these at the moment. She was holding a switch made of two pieces of iron in her left hand, and the talisman pen in her right hand never stopped for a moment, constantly drawing something on the yellow talisman paper.

He Ling hasn't slept for five days and five nights. The price of the fireball talisman outside has risen to five spirit stones, and it is still in short supply. Now as long as she draws enough talismans, she can earn back all the spirit stones she earned in a year in one day, and no more and no less. He Ling can't sleep at all now. As soon as she closes her eyes, it seems as if someone is asking her, how can you sleep at your age, at your age.

After drawing two more strokes, He Ling's eyelids drooped and her head lowered uncontrollably, but she immediately regained consciousness. However, the talisman pen in her hand stopped, causing the ink to run out and the talisman paper to become a piece of waste paper. She threw the talisman paper away in annoyance, and just as she picked up a new piece of talisman paper, her head fell directly on the table with a bang.

This made He Ling more sober. She supported her head with her hands and felt a little hungry in her stomach. She pressed her eyebrows with both hands and mobilized a little spiritual power. Then the storage bag on He Ling's waist automatically opened a hole, and two small porcelain bottles floated out. The stoppers of the two small porcelain bottles opened automatically, and two pills floated out. One came to He Ling's mouth, and the other came to the edge of her left sleeve.

After swallowing the fasting pill in one gulp, she called out in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er."

Then a small green snake crawled out from her sleeve, swallowed the pill in one gulp, and then shrank back into He Ling's sleeve. As for the two dogs, He Ling also added fasting pills to their food, so they would not starve.

He Ling rested for a while, and just as she picked up the talisman pen, a sharp pain flashed through her mind. It felt like a steel wire passing through her brain. He Ling's frown relaxed for a while, and she felt better.

He Ling looked at the messy room and sighed. It seemed that she had reached her limit. If she continued to endure and damaged her body, it would be a waste of time. She had been working non-stop for five days and five nights. An ordinary cultivator could only hold on for about three or four days. Although the cultivator's body was very different from that of a mortal after being transformed by spiritual energy, drawing talismans required a high degree of concentration. Although her body could still bear it, her soul was exhausted.

He staggered to the bed and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. Looking at the sky, He Ling frowned. The market for fireball talismans was booming right now, and time was directly equivalent to spirit stones. If she missed this time point, her income would drop by at least 99%. Thinking of this, she quickly sat up and sat down at the table.

As soon as she picked up the talisman brush, she stopped. He Ling found that if she was alone, even if she did not eat or drink, and did not sleep, her output would be very limited. Moreover, after this period of crazy talisman drawing, the stock of talisman paper was not much, enough to draw five or six hundred talismans at most. Although she had considered the problem of talisman paper a long time ago, and took some time to use the treasure spring to ripen the spiritual hemp in two spiritual fields, it still took time to harvest and make talisman paper. Moreover, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was the news about the Xuanbing Hanchan in the Yuxian Mountains. The market trend of talismans was almost linked to the Xuanbing Hanchan, and she could not go to the scene, so her ability to control the market was almost zero.

If something unexpected happened, or the Black Ice Toad escaped, the market demand would definitely plummet. She had drawn so many talismans without any seals. Wouldn't they all lose their spiritual energy and turn into waste paper after a few days?

Thinking of this, she put down the talisman pen and went outside the house. She needed to think carefully. When the two dogs saw He Ling, they wagged their tails at her.

He Ling didn't tease the dog, but walked slowly and thought.

The best solution now was to find someone. Ideally, one person would draw the talismans, one person would make the talisman paper, another would sell it, and finally, one person would monitor the situation at the lake in the Yuxian Mountains. As for manpower, she could only think of Qi Wan and her daughter, and Xu Tao. Xu Tao was the first person to be ruled out. Judging from what happened that day, Xu Tao was no longer satisfied with the current share. If given the chance, he would definitely harm He Ling. As for Qi Wan and her daughter, the more He Ling thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Qi Wan has been supported by He Ling all these years, and 90% of the elixirs were supplied to He Ling. Thanks to He Ling, they not only have the money to continue paying for the cave, but also have extra money to buy some spiritual medicines to refine elixirs to improve their own cultivation. Their interests are highly tied to He Ling, and from the year she has been getting along with Qi Wan, she also found that Qi Wan's heart is still relatively kind, and it can even be said that she is somewhat ignorant of the sufferings of the world. Simply put, she has not experienced the beatings of society.

Another point that He Ling valued more was that although Qi Wan was a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training, a mid-stage Qi training cultivator, her own combat power was not strong, and her combat experience was even close to zero. If it weren't for her alchemy skills, she would probably not be able to survive in Yuxian Town. Her daughter was only at the first level of Qi training. Even if the two of them really wanted to harm He Ling, if they attacked together, He Ling could rely on her physique that was far superior to that of an ordinary person to quickly escape.

After thinking about it for a while, and finding no loopholes, He Ling left the cave directly. However, he did not go to Qi Wan's house. Instead, he went to the Spiritual Object Pavilion and bought two oath spells. After returning, he knocked on the door of Qi Wan's cave.

As the door opened, Qi Wan appeared with a hint of doubt in her eyes. When Qi Wan saw Shi He Ling, her face was filled with smiles again.

"It's Sister Ling'er. I wonder if you need any medicinal herbs this time? However, I haven't been able to procure the right medicinal herbs recently, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait for a few days."

He Ling shook her head. "Sister Qi Wan, I have something very important to discuss with you and Sister Qi Ning. Please come with me to my cave."

Qi Wan paused for a moment before saying, "Sister Ling'er, is this matter urgent?"

"It's urgent."

"Okay, Sister Ling'er, wait a moment, I'll go call Ning'er."

A moment later, Qi Wan came out with Qi Ning, whose hair was still wet. The little girl had obviously just taken a shower, and there were large water stains on her body, which wet her clothes and revealed a pink color.

However, He Ling had no time to care about this at the moment. If she waited any longer, she would lose a few spirit stones.
