When my vicious stepmother mistakenly married me to the Immortal Lord

Everything was silent, the moon quietly sank into the sea of ​​clouds, and the night was as dark as ink, deep and mysterious.

The twinkling stars are like a poem in the sky, exuding endless charm in the tranquility.

After Jiang Song settled Xuetuan down, he turned and walked into the inner room, intending to change his clothes.

After a day of tossing and turning, her dress was a little wrinkled and her hair was a little messy.

Jiang Song simply washed up, changed into pajamas, and climbed onto the bed. She took out the two storage bags she had found on the gang leader and Jiang Dahai and examined them carefully.

The storage bag on the gang leader's body was 10 cubic meters in size, and there was nothing valuable in it except taels of gold.

Jiang Dahai's storage bag was 30 cubic meters in size, and the treasures inside were even richer. In addition to taels of gold and some silver notes, it contained some warrior auxiliary supplies and treasures he had collected over the years.

"I didn't expect Jiang Dahai to be so rich." Jiang Song muttered, taking out the things in the storage bag one by one to check.

One of the demon pills caught her attention. The demon pill was gray-brown in color. Although it was not top-notch, the energy it contained was very pure.

"This should be the demon pill of a second-level demon beast. If I take it to Tianbao Tower for appraisal, it should be able to exchange for a lot of spirit stones." Jiang Song stroked the demon pill and calculated secretly in his heart.

In this world, even ordinary warriors who have not yet entered the Qi Refining stage can make money by hunting monsters and selling monster pills.

However, the monsters are very powerful and difficult to hunt, so the monster pills are very precious and often have a high price but are out of stock.

For a warrior like Jiang Dahai, it is quite rare to possess a demon core of a second-level demon beast.

According to Jiang Song's understanding of Jiang Dahai, this one was probably not obtained by him from hunting. He probably bought it from a black market. He wanted to wait until the value was inflated before selling it, or he kept it for use when he broke through the bottleneck.

It’s a pity that he has now become a short-lived ghost, and this magic pill naturally became Jiang Song’s possession.

In addition to the demon pills, there are also some potions in Jiang Dahai's storage bag, which are essential items for warriors when training outside.

Although Jiang Song's trip was dangerous, she gained a lot:

One hundred thousand taels of gold, eight thousand taels of silver notes, a number of treasures such as pearls and agates, seven bottles of various potions, one second-level demon pill, one 7-cubic storage bag and one 1-cubic storage bag.

This is a considerable fortune, especially the second-level demon pill, whose value cannot be underestimated.

Jiang Song packed up the things one by one and put them into his storage bag, secretly feeling relieved.

Although this encounter was extremely dangerous, it was also a blessing in disguise. Obtaining these things should be enough for her to purchase some high-value cultivation resources.

In addition to the property looted from the evildoers, Jiang Song also obtained six heavenly spirit fruits under the guidance of the black cat demon.

Last night she ate one on the spot and felt spiritual energy surge throughout her body, as if a clear spring was flowing through her body, making her feel very comfortable.

Not only were the meridians widened a lot, but even the soul seemed to be cleansed and became more solid.

She knew that this was the miraculous effect of the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. This kind of spiritual fruit was a rare treasure for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

However, with her current level of cultivation, taking one pill is already the limit. If she wants to take another one, she must wait until her cultivation level is improved. Otherwise, too much will be as bad as too little, and it will damage her foundation.

Jiang Song carefully put the remaining five Tianling Fruits into his storage bag, intending to save them for later consumption.

For several days after returning from visiting the graves, Jiang Song rarely participated in the affairs of the Xie Mansion unless there was an occasion that required her, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family, to appear. She spent her days either practicing martial arts and sword skills, or thinking about drawing talismans.

It was her mother-in-law who agreed to her application for Fengwu Academy, so in the Xie Mansion, she did not have to worry about daily trivial matters and could devote all her energy to preparing for the exam.

During this period, Xie Changyan came a few times, but each time they just had sex at night and disappeared early in the morning.

Although the two lived in the same mansion, they seemed to be from two different worlds and had very little in common.

Xie Changyan seemed to like being passionate towards her only at night, probably because of his reserved personality. During the day, he acted like a cool and noble young man in front of others, but he felt more comfortable acting in the dark.

Jiang Song had been tormented quite a bit by him these past few days, and he had to sleep more during the day.

That afternoon, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the desk where Jiang Song was concentrating on drawing a talisman.

The tip of the brush is dipped in cinnabar, and complex patterns are smoothly outlined on the yellow paper. Each stroke contains mysterious power.

As the last stroke was made, a golden light suddenly flashed on the talisman, as if spiritual energy was flowing through it.

"Finally succeeded." Jiang Song breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the talisman in his hand with satisfaction.

This is a first-level spirit-gathering talisman that can gather the surrounding spiritual energy for use by cultivators during their practice.

Although it is only a first-level talisman, it is quite difficult to draw. It requires extremely high mental concentration and precise control of spiritual energy.

The reason why Jiang Song was able to successfully draw this talisman was thanks to his trip to Tianbao Tower the day before.

She first exchanged 100,000 gold for 100 low-grade spirit stones. Together with the three she had exchanged before, she now had 103 low-grade spirit stones in her hands.

I wanted to see what I could buy, so I wandered around the floors of Tianbao Building.

While strolling around, she saw an introductory book on talisman making in an area that specialized in manuals on various arts of cultivation. The book explained in detail the methods and techniques for drawing talismans.

It would cost a lot of spirit stones to buy that book, which Jiang Song couldn't afford at all, so he just stopped and looked at it for a while with envy.

Little did she know that her photographic memory allowed her to memorize the entire book.

In fact, she stayed there for quite a long time, but the manager there, Xie Fuxing, was quite generous. He did not drive her away. Instead, he took the initiative to chat with her and asked her if she was interested in making talismans.

Jiang Song felt a little guilty for having gotten someone else's secret book for free, so he spent ten spirit stones to buy a first-grade blank talisman paper and a bottle of special cinnabar.

She was planning to buy these things anyway, so she just considered it as a thank-you gift to Tianbao Tower.

After returning home, she couldn't wait to start trying to make the talisman.

After several failures, Jiang Song finally mastered the essence of drawing a first-level spirit gathering talisman and successfully drew his first talisman.

Jiang Song looked at the spirit-gathering talisman in his hand, which was emitting a faint golden glow, and a sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

Because this is not only the success of the talisman, but also an important breakthrough in his own cultivation path.

The art of talisman making, as one of the hundred arts of cultivation, can not only assist in cultivation, but also play an unexpected role at critical moments.

She gently placed the spirit-gathering talisman on a corner of her inner room. Suddenly, the originally thin spiritual energy in the room seemed to be drawn in, gathering into a thin stream, slowly nourishing her body.

Jiang Song closed his eyes and concentrated, guiding the spiritual energy to circulate in his body, feeling the subtle improvement in his cultivation.

As she expected, with the continued effect of the spirit gathering talisman, Jiang Song could clearly feel the growth of the spiritual power in his body. Although the speed was not amazing, it was stable and lasting.
