“Insufficient high-grade talisman paper and the progress of talisman is significantly slower compared to other tasks.”

“Also, shaping and fitness need improvement.”

The Lion Dog talisman, Little Ai, entered her adjusted new schedule while spitting out pieces of paper.

【Original Body’s Crisis Response】

【Method One: Become the Strongest in the World, Fear Nothing (Current Strongest in the World: Elder in Seclusion from Jade Constellation Sect, Soon Ascending, Cultivated for 1455 Years) 】

【To catch up to him, it’s estimated to take another 1241.3 years of cultivation (Current Strength: 85 times * Peak Third Layer of Qi Refinement, approximately equal to First Layer of Foundation Establishment?) 】

Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Tribulation Crossing, Ascension.

She was still a junior sister.

Lin Shuang rubbed her forehead.

【Method Two: Craft a Fifth-Level Time Reversal talisman, Uncover the True Culprit’s Face (Requires Cultivation to Nascent Soul stage) – Current Status: Collecting Fifth-Level talisman Scroll Materials (0/5), Fifth-Level Crafting Technique (0%) 】

One still has 1200 years to go.

The other one still lacks materials and crafting methods.

Lin Shuang: “…”

She chose to continue lying flat.

【Little Ai reminds you that you can accelerate achieving your goals through the following ways:

1. Elevate your cultivation speed.

2. Seek assistance from other talented fellow cultivators or dao companions.

3. Search for divine beasts, seek out spiritual treasures.

4. Quickly become a direct disciple of the sect leader, directly obtaining a Fifth-Level Time Reversal talisman or materials…

Lin Shuang tapped Little Ai’s paper head and her phoenix eyes flickered.

“You’ve already grown into a mature Little Ai. You should learn to achieve your goals on your own.”

As her words fell, Zhao Keran pushed the door open and entered from outside. As soon as she stepped in, she noticed the peculiar emptiness, immediately retreated, then pushed the door open again.

It must be that she didn’t open the wooden house in the right way.

“Sister, where’s your table?”

Zhao Keran entered again, rubbing her eyes as she discovered the place was still empty. Sister was lying on her Zhao Keran’s desk, holding a pen and writing.

A hint of confusion crossed her round face.

“Um, I applied for a new one. It will be delivered tomorrow. I’ll use yours for now.”

Lin Shuang said, then opened Little Ai’s tomato timer, “You’ve come back just in time. Our scheduled chat for today hasn’t started yet.”

When she lost her only family member, she realized that not everyone would wait for her to return.

The concerns and love that were never voiced, always postponed, might never have a chance again.

No matter how busy, she had to take some time every day to listen and talk. This is what Lin Shuang had demanded of herself since then.

Of course, she couldn’t be overly indulgent, or it would affect both parties’ important matters.

Her junior sister is currently at a critical point in her cultivation too.

“Starting now?” Lin Shuang looked expectantly at her junior sister.

“…”

At Zhao Keran’s words, she instinctively glanced outside at the sky.

Every day at Shen hour is their roommate communication time.

With a face that said “Just as I thought, Senior Sister is always so punctual,” she walked over to the table.

“Sister, I just returned from the Transmission Hall. I brought a copy of a First-Grade Sound Transmission Talisman The end-of-year disciple assessment is coming up soon.”

Lin Shuang reached out, “Don’t worry about this for now. I need to take on a sect mission.”

She flipped through her plans for the coming week.

“Oh right, the end of the year is approaching. I still have a trip planned for team building this year. Oh, I almost forgot, thanks to you reminding me, Junior Sister. I can make some adjustments. I’ll take on a sect mission that requires going out, with a team of two to three people, a two to three-day local excursion.”

Zhao Ke Ran almost dropped the water cup in her hand.

“…”

Senior Sister, are you treating sect missions as team outings? Does Senior Brother Xu Rui know about this?

“Junior Sister, if you don’t accompany me, let’s fill up our next three days’ worth of chat today. How about that?”

“!”

Zhao Ke Ran touched her forehead.

[Dear Cousin, seeing your words as if in person.

The Senior Sister I live with is truly persistent. She adheres to her daily schedule without fail, day after day, practicing, resting, and nurturing relationships.

If it weren’t for her being stuck at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement all the time, I always feel she could have become the strongest female cultivator. No, it should be the fastest strongest female cultivator.

She can practice many things simultaneously. Even today, it’s truly admirable.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Senior Sister has always been stuck at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement. Do you have any methods to help her breakthrough? Although Mount Sea Sect and Pure Water Sect have been in conflict for many years, there are legends that a hundred years ago, we were one sect, and our cultivation methods should be quite complementary.

—Zhao Keran’s letter.]

Zhao Ming, the senior brother responsible for external affairs at Mount Sea Sect, shook his head after reading the handwritten letter folded into a paper crane.

What does “practicing many things simultaneously” mean?

Always not breaking through is precisely because it’s not feasible. The Dao’s heart isn’t focused enough!

He sighed, about to take out a communication stone to caution his cousin Zhao Keran when the door to his quiet room was pushed open from outside.

“Senior Brother, one person can simultaneously draw twelve First-Level talismans and one Third-Level talisman Scroll. I saw it with my own eyes!”

Zhao Ming: “…”

A figure flying on a sword, wrapped in a thick cloth so that it didn’t even resemble a flying sword, pierced in.

The smooth shoes were kept spotless, imbued with the Dust Dispelling Technique, as they landed.

“Senior Brother, why is this possible?” Xiao Qi was still in amazement.

Zhao Ming looked at the letter in his hand, raised his head, and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Cultivation requires focus.”

“Even though Talisman Masters have strong Nascent Souls, they still need to concentrate when inscribing each talisman.”

“It’s the same principle as us sword cultivators. We can’t execute two sword techniques simultaneously either.”

Xiao Qi chuckled, holding his precious flying sword in his arms and checking the cloth wrapping.

“But I saw it with my own eyes, her brushwork penetrated the paper, and the cinnabar soaked into the table.”

“Thus, she formed a second layer of Third-Level talisman Scroll!”

Zhao Ming: “???”

Is that Third-Level Talisman Scroll on the table?!

How is that possible?

That night, the wind was high and the night was dark. Zhao Ming rose quietly from his bed, seeing his junior brother sleeping soundly. He walked out of the disciple’s quiet room in Mount Sea Sect, changed into night clothes, and blended into the darkness.

“Excuse me…”

The person he was meeting for another bounty task assassination, was dressed in an overlapping black robe with complex buckles, a double-layer mask on their face.

They took out a plain square wooden table.

Zhao Ming: “…?”

At the same time, in Room 99 of Clearwater Hall, Lin Shuang looked at her communication stone.

That generous fellow, the final payment of 600 hasn’t arrived yet.

Has the inspection not been completed?

Author’s Note:

“Memoirs of the 134th Generation Leader of the Clearwater Sect, Zhao, Part 6”: It was much later that I found out that the previous roommate of Senior Sister, Little White Senior Sister, turned into Senior Brother. It was only then that I finally understood why, on the first day I arrived at the Clearwater Sect, Senior Brother Xu Rui’s gaze when assigning rooms to me was so “subtle” and apologetic.

“Cultivation Encyclopedia”: Clam Demon, one of the 108 branches of the Demon race, ranked 53rd in the strength of the Demon race, and 6th on the Forbes Demon Wealth List (mass-producing pearls). Adult Clam demons can change gender once a year, but most Clam demons don’t do this; they have fixed partners.
