In the secret room, Zhao Lingyun was preparing food for the night. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the secret door from time to time, feeling quite worried about Lin Qi.

It wasn't until I heard the sound of the secret door opening that I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to meet it.

"Lin Zongfeng, you are out of seclusion."

Lin Qi was in a very good mood and pinched Lingyun's face, pretending to look relaxed.

"Don't worry about me, it's just a simple retreat."

Although it is just a simple one-day retreat, it has solved Lin Qi's biggest dilemma now. At least he can now start to practice actively, and his cultivation will definitely increase faster than before.

When I am happy, I want to get closer to the spirit.

"No, my mother is in the cave!"

Zhao Lingyun was startled, took a step back quickly, and pointed in the direction of the stone table in the cave.

Mrs. Zhao is sitting in front of the stone table at the moment, with a stern look on her face. She has already noticed that the relationship between her daughter and Lin Qi seems to be unusual.

"Madam has not recovered from her injuries, why are you up?"

Lin Qi had no choice but to step forward to say hello and ask with concern.

Mrs. Zhao's complexion has recovered a little, but her face is still like gelatin, glowing with a warm jade white color, without any blood color. Her eyes are somewhat similar to Lingyun, but they are less agile and more calm.

Although he was sitting in front of a simple stone table, he still maintained a dignified attitude, wearing a simple white singlet, which made his uneven figure very obvious, far beyond the youthful aura.

This young woman is so mature.

"After lying in bed for a long time, my body became a little stiff, so I came out and walked around."

Mrs. Zhao's face was expressionless, but the current situation made her dare not show any expression towards Lin Qi.

"It's okay to do some exercise, but madam, please don't leave the cave. If someone from the Wang family sees us, we will be in danger."

Although he knew that Mrs. Zhao was not a brainless woman, Lin Qi still wanted to warn her.

"I know what's appropriate. I will never go out before my cultivation is restored."

Mrs. Zhao wanted to ask her what happened between her daughter and Lin Qi during the time she was unconscious, but after careful consideration, she chose to acquiesce.

Perhaps you are safest only by maintaining the status quo.

After Lingyun prepared dinner, the three of them sat at the stone table and ate in silence.

Lingyun lowered her head. She also felt something strange about her mother. She was afraid that her relationship with Lin Qi would be discovered, so she didn't dare to raise her head and look at the two of them.

After finishing the meal, no one said a word.

Just when they returned to the room, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lingyun kept whispering. Even throughout the night, Zhao Lingyun had no time to practice.

This made Lin Qi a little dissatisfied, as he wasted a lot of opportunities to practice.

In the secret room, Lin Qi took out the intermediate talisman materials and placed them on the table.

Although he has never drawn intermediate talismans before, he has already learned several methods of drawing intermediate talismans when he was in the Zhao family, and he only has one chance to get started.

After calming down for a while, I slowly picked up the pen and dipped it into the prepared spiritual ink.

But this stroke could never be made, as if there was an invisible force hindering him.

"It seems the time has not come yet!"

In the dark, Lin Qi felt that as long as he made this stroke, the intermediate talisman would definitely fail to be drawn, so he did not waste materials, put away the pen, and began to meditate.

At dawn the next day, the cave's restrictions were triggered, and as the warning sounded, the three of them were startled.

"Lin worships!"

Mrs. Zhao looked nervously at the door of the cave. She subconsciously thought that someone from the Wang family had searched for their traces.

"Lingyun, take your mother to the secret door first."

Lin Qi looked at the two of them as if they were facing a formidable enemy and had to be more cautious.

He took out his magic weapon, the Soul-Breaking Needle, and hid it in his sleeve. After the two figures disappeared into the secret door, he stepped forward to open the cave's restrictions.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why did you leave without saying a word yesterday?"

Song Sanxing stood at the entrance of the cave, looking unhappy.

He invited Lin Qi to go out and have fun that night. At first, in order to save face for himself, he helped Lin get married as a nun. But then the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, so he simply stayed in Cui'er's room, waiting for Lin Qi to be unable to support himself.

I checked out and left, but after waiting for two days, my legs began to shake, and Lin didn't get up to look for him.

After asking the servants who lingered downstairs, I learned that Lin Qi had left that night.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I'm ashamed to say that Lin felt regretful just thinking about it that day. He had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, and his realm was not yet stable. How could he lose his essence so easily, so he left without saying goodbye, which cost Friend Song a lot of money.

”

There is a pretty girl in the cave who is still at the third level of Qi training. How could Lin Qi like those rouge and vulgar fans?

"Then is my treat for you worth it? Why don't you go somewhere else to have a good time tonight?"

Song Sanxing was afraid that Lin Qi would not remember this favor in his heart, so he said it politely.

"Forget it, I still have a lot of talismans that I haven't painted recently, and I've been in seclusion for so long that my family is almost exhausted. I want to continue to earn some spiritual stones. Is there any way for Daoist friend Song to do it?"

There are nearly a thousand casual cultivators living in the Qingshi Mountains, but they are very mobile. Ninety percent of them are cultivators below the sixth level of Qi training. There are not many ways to earn spiritual stones.

Even if there is, it will only be in the hands of a small number of people and difficult to leak.

"I do know some ways to earn spiritual stones. Recently, the Wang family in Bluestone City is soliciting offerings. As long as you are above the fourth level of Qi training, you can sign up. Fellow Daoist Lin is young, so you can give it a try."

The Wang family now controls Bluestone City, and the treatment offered by the family is naturally much better than that of the Zhao family before, but Lin Qi does not want to sell his body for a second time.

The female members of the Wang family are not beautiful.

"The rest are relatively common ways. Either you go to the depths of the Qingshi Mountains to hunt monsters with casual cultivators, or you go into the depths of the mines to dig for bluestone. If you can find a top-quality piece, then at least you can build a better foundation."

Before the base period, you won’t be troubled by spiritual stones.”

When Song Sanxing talked about the top-quality green granite, his eyes exuded a sense of longing.

Why are there so many casual cultivators in the Qingshi Mountains? They all hope that one day they will be able to mine a top-quality Qingang stone and realize the possibility of getting rich overnight.

But in the past ten years, I have never heard of anyone excavating top-quality bluestone in a mine, and even top-grade stones are rare.

Most of the green turquoise stones are of low grade or even inferior grade, and each one is only worth a few spiritual stones.

"Then I might as well just draw the talisman at home."

Although hunting low-level monsters is not a big problem for Lin Qi, if he does not form a team and search for a long time in the Bluestone Mountains, he will simply not be able to make ends meet, which will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

Moreover, we must beware of overt and covert fights among loose cultivators. Lin Qi will never risk his life without urgent pursuit.

"Actually, I'm quite envious of you. You have the skill of drawing talismans, which is a skill that many casual practitioners dream of. Unlike me, who rushes around for training resources all day long, and sometimes I can't earn a single spiritual stone for several days."

Song Sanxing sighed, quite melancholy.
