The next day, Lin Xia went out early.

When Lin Xia arrived at the door of the grocery store, she saw that the grocery store, which had been closed two days ago, was now open. The owner Yu was quite punctual.

It was still early, so Lin Xia took a detour to the market and ate a big bowl of delicious wontons as usual. The stall owner's cooking skills must have been very good, as Lin Xia could not forget it so much.

After satisfying her appetite, Lin Xia returned to the grocery store.

Zheng Qi had already arrived by now and was busy behind the counter. Hearing the noise, he turned around and greeted Lin Xia: "Lin Xia, you're here."

"Well, where is the owner?" Lin Xia responded and asked him again.

"In the back." Zheng Qi answered while his hands were busy.

Lin Xia didn't say anything else and went straight into the inner room.

Fortunately, the owner was not practicing, but was sitting at the eight-immortal table drinking tea. The fragrance of tea was everywhere, and the spiritual energy was rich. The aroma of the tea stimulated Lin Xia's mind to be clear, as if he had walked into the morning mist, feeling refreshed.

Seeing Lin Xia, the shop owner Yu waved and let Lin Xia in.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Owner Yu said as he poured a cup of tea for Lin Xia.

"Shopkeeper, I have some monsters I killed from Qingyu Mountain, as well as some spiritual herbs. Can you take them to your store?" Lin Xia spoke without hesitation.

"Oh, let me see." Shop owner Yu put down the teacup.

Lin Xia quickly took out the storage bags that she had strung together from her waist and handed them to the shop owner Yu.

Shopkeeper Yu took it and probed with his spiritual sense, examining each one. "Hmm? Not bad, there are actually third-level monsters and fourth-level spiritual herbs. The spiritual herbs are also well preserved. I'll take them."

"But..." After a pause, the shop owner Yu continued, "The monster corpses are fine nowadays, and the impact is not too great, but the price of spiritual herbs has plummeted. I don't think I can offer you a high price. However, that fourth-level snake spiritual grass is still very rare, so the price is higher."

Lin Xia nodded in understanding. "Shopkeeper, I know the price of spiritual herbs has dropped. Please pay me the market price in spiritual stones. If you can accept it, it will save me the trouble of setting up a stall in the market."

The shop owner Yu was very straightforward. He quickly counted the resources in Lin Xia's storage bag and paid Lin Xia with spirit stones.

Looking at the pile of spirit stones in the storage bag, Lin Xia's eyes curved with joy.

Shop owner Yu, who was sitting opposite Lin Xia, looked at Lin Xi with such a frank expression and couldn't help but think of himself when he was young, and his face became more kind.

Seeing that the owner was in a good mood, Lin Xia took the opportunity to propose resigning.

After a moment of hesitation, the shop owner understood what Lin Xia meant. Now that the "Qinglin Secret Realm" is about to open, it seems that Lin Xia in front of him is also planning to explore the secret realm. In this case, always curled up in his own small shop will not be of much benefit to the improvement of his cultivation.

With that, the shop owner Yu agreed with a wave of his hand. "If you have any good goods in the future, you can still bring them to our shop. The price will still be the same as the market price. Go ahead!"

Lin Xia thanked the shop owner for his care during this period, and then said, "Shop owner, I want to learn to draw talismans. Do you have any talisman pens to recommend?"

"Oh?" After hearing Lin Xia's words, Shop Owner Yu finally became interested and sat up straighter. After all, opening a shop was a side job, and Shop Owner Yu's main job was still a talisman master.

"Do you want to learn how to draw talismans?" Shop owner Yu asked Lin Xia again. After getting a positive answer, he fell silent again, as if he was thinking about something.

Lin Xia was not in a hurry and waited silently.

After about a cup of tea, the shop owner Yu spoke again: "I still have the notes I made when I was young, when I was learning to draw talismans. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you."

Getting the senior's notes was like a huge surprise to Lin Xia. Lin Xia quickly said, "Thank you, owner! You don't mind, you don't mind. It's really great! With your notes, I feel more confident." Her voice was raised a few degrees, causing the owner to chuckle.

So, when Lin Xia walked out of the inner room, not only were there some more notes for drawing talismans in his storage bag, but he also got a talisman pen from the shop owner for free. He felt dizzy, as if he had won a huge lottery.

Because of the formation's obstruction, Zheng Qi had no idea what was happening inside. Seeing Lin Xia coming out, he quickly approached her, "How's it going? Did the owner also take the resources you obtained from Qingyu Mountain?"

After hearing this, Lin Xia understood that Zheng Qi had probably sold his earnings from Qingyu Mountain to the store owner.

Lin Xia was in a good mood and agreed with a smile. She also told Zheng Qi about her resignation. As for her future plans, she naturally did not mention them to Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi was not surprised to hear that Lin Xia wanted to quit his job. After all, the main purpose of a cultivator is to practice, so how could they stay in a grocery store as a clerk forever? Moreover, he had heard before that Lin Xia had an uncle from a big sect as a backer, so his future would definitely not be bad.

I heard Lin Xia say that she needed some talisman paper, so I hurried to the back of the counter to get it for her. The price was of course discounted according to the employee discount.

However, talisman paper was not rare and was only worth a few spirit stones. The most expensive items were the monster blood and the talisman brush, which Lin Xia already had, saving her a lot of spirit stones.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Qi, Lin Xia walked straight to the courtyard where she rented a house. She couldn't wait to try drawing talismans.

When she reached the front of the yard, she happened to meet the new neighbor next door coming out of the yard. Lin Xia nodded politely again, opened the door and hurried in, leaving the man standing there in a daze for a moment.

With a pious attitude towards drawing talismans, Lin Xia specially performed a dust-removing technique on his body before sitting at the table and starting his first talisman drawing.

Because of his previous interest in drawing talismans, Lin Xia had read many jade slips related to talismans, but he never had the opportunity to practice. Now he has officially started to learn how to draw talismans.

Taking out the tools for drawing talismans from the storage bag, Lin Xia planned to start learning from the lowest level talismans, such as simple fire-starting talismans, water-storing talismans, etc.

The most difficult part of drawing talismans is being able to correctly draw the talisman patterns on the talisman paper. The talismans have the power of rules and can usually only be drawn in one stroke. Not everyone can do it easily in one go. If you accidentally interrupt in the middle, the talisman drawing will fail.

When drawing the runes, you also need to inject spiritual power to ensure that the runes take shape. If the spiritual power is insufficient or the degree is not well controlled, it will fail. Even if the runes are formed, they will quickly disintegrate.

In the art of talisman drawing, experienced talisman masters can also create their own new talismans. These talismans usually add some useless virtual patterns to prevent others from deciphering their original talismans. These talismans are basically the talisman master's secrets and are often used to save lives.
