Chapter 14: Preparing to Leave

The rain finally stopped, the sun peeked out of the clouds, and the locals took out their damp quilts to dry on a sunny day, and rows of stalls gradually gathered on the streets, and the restaurants opposite would usher in the climax of customers at lunchtime. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Xi stood at the table in the room, holding a brush dipped in cinnabar ink in his right hand, and in front of him was a blank rune paper with a rough texture, and there was already a stack of used rune paper in the upper left corner of the table, and the unified pattern on it could be seen.

After going through the pattern to be drawn in my mind, after making sure that it was correct, the brush fell on the blank rune paper, and a pattern that was different from the stack of success jumped on the paper, and the moment the brush left the paper, the pattern on the paper emitted a fiery red light, but in an instant it returned to its original state, as if it was a naughty child's random graffiti.

Put the fire talisman that had just been drawn aside, revealing the blank talisman paper underneath, the pen under his hand did not stop, and in a blink of an eye, another flame talisman was made, and after making five in a row, he felt the depletion of the aura in his body, Lin Xi finally put down the pen, moved his stiff wrist, and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

This is the third day that Lin Xi and his party have stayed in the Holy Step.

Three days ago, several people arrived at the Holy Step City, but it rained in the middle of the night.

Although the rain was not heavy, it lingered until today, and several people had to continue to stay in the inn, and finally had free time, Xiaolan taught Lin Xi to set up a formation and make talismans.

Thanks to Lin Xi's natural control, after three days of study, Lin Xi was already able to lay out a simple protective formation, which was the protective array under the little blue cloth when watching the battle between the cat demon and Shengyu. At this moment, there is such a formation at the door of her room, and even Xiaolan can't enter without her consent.

The precise control of the output of spiritual power makes Lin Xi also like a fish in water in terms of talismans, except for the first few sheets, the understanding of the talisman itself is not in place, and more than a dozen pieces of talisman paper are wasted, and the latter can basically succeed at one time, with repeated practice, the runes made by Lin Xi are smooth and the penmanship is round, but unfortunately due to the limitation of cultivation, only the inferior talismans can be made.

After Xiao Lan saw his results, he couldn't help but regret and said, "Your comprehension and control are outstanding even in the famous sects, but it's a pity that your five spirit roots limit the improvement of your cultivation, otherwise it will be a matter of time before you surpass me." ”

Lin Xi smiled indifferently, he was very satisfied with such a situation.

Finally know how to make talismans, because of the armor, Lin Xi decided to take his grandmother and younger brother to Taosang City, considering the danger of the next journey, the fireball talisman, the ice talisman, the flame talisman, and the fire talisman that he just learned, each made dozens of pieces. It's not that I don't want to do more, but my cultivation is too low, and my spiritual power is close to exhaustion after drawing a few pictures, and these dozens of talismans are still the result of a day of hard work.

Lin Zhi's age was too young, so Xiaolan didn't teach him the formation and talisman making. However, under her guidance, Lin Zhi's cultivation has improved very quickly, and now it is the end of qi refining, as long as he enters the foundation building stage, he can let the fire attribute aura in his body exist outside the body in the form of flames, and he can also refine the pill.

Uncle Hu, who was on the same road with him, came to collect purple gold flowers, who knew that a rain fell, and all the petals fell, Uncle Hu was unwilling to run in vain, and when the sky was clear, he ran to the market early in the morning to see if he could meet some good things to bring back.

Suddenly feeling the fluctuation of the spiritual power on the protective formation, Lin Xi transported the spiritual energy into the dantian, exhaled a breath of turbid qi, and released the people outside the formation.

It turned out to be Xiaolan, and when she saw Lin Xi immersed in the talisman, she went with her grandmother to find the caravan passing through Taosang City. Because of the rain, many caravans were stranded in the Holy Step. They chose one of the more reputable caravanserans, but it was small in size and the price was fair. Because it took too long, the amount of purple gold flowers harvested was too small, and I didn't want to delay any longer, so I had to set off in an hour.

Time was pressing, Lin Xi quickly put away the items on the table with the help of Xiaolan, and came to the hall on the first floor of the inn, where grandma and Lin Zhi had just arrived.

With a person like his grandmother who is good at cooking, he is afraid that he will not be used to eating the food of the caravan, so Lin Xi bought a lot of fresh materials from the inn, but fortunately, he drew a lot of ice talismans before, no matter what kind of materials he had, he could keep them for a long time.

Uncle Hu hasn't come back yet, so he has to ask the shopkeeper to say that the matter is urgent, and he has to leave first, and he has a chance to meet again.

An hour later, the group arrived at the pantry at the city gate, where the meeting place had been agreed with the caravan.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, I saw a team pulling more than 20 carts full of goods towards the city gate, about a hundred people, all men under the age of thirty or forty, wearing dark gray shorts, looking powerful.

And the most attractive thing about this caravan is the animal pulling the cart in front, with a pair of large eye bubbles protruding outwards on its earthy yellow head, two blue-brown horns on the top of its head, its body and sturdy limbs are in the form of a standard horse, and its snow-white tail is fluffy and falls behind its buttocks, and Xiaolan doesn't even know what kind of animal it is.

After sitting on the carriage, he found that there was no coachman, and the leader gave an order, and the animal automatically took steps to follow the previous carriage, and when it passed the city gate to check, it saw that the car in front of it stopped, and it automatically stopped, and the action did not need to be directed by people at all.

Later, under the introduction of a senior team member, I learned that this is a new type of animal, which has only been bred in recent years. At the same time, the new species with the bloodlines of cows, horses, giant frogs in the South China Sea, and snow hare in the north is named Fan because of its mixed bloodlines. Because it has the advantages of being fast, stable and accurate, and has a certain amount of wisdom, it is the first choice for pulling down the car.

The leader's surname is Qi, he looks very young, about 20 years old, also wearing a dark gray short, slender figure, serious face, and the people of the caravan know that this caravan is a family business model, and the Qi family is also a famous merchant in Taosang, and all walks of life are involved in medicinal materials, restaurants, and cloth shops.

The force value of the entire caravan is relatively high, as long as you don't encounter monks, basically all of them can be handed over safely, which is also one of the reasons why the Qi family caravan has a good reputation.

Team leader Qi has 12 years of business experience, team leader has also been doing it for five years, often back and forth between Taosang and Shengbu, experienced, followed by the team members have also cooperated for many years, in a word, follow us to the right.

Most of the cars were loaded with goods, and only two people could sit in one carriage, Lin Xi and a few people occupied two carriages, in addition, there was a young couple in the team who were going to Katsuragi to join relatives occupied one carriage, the rest of the carriage was given to the wounded, and the rest of the people, including the team leader, were walking.

As the carriage moved forward, kicking up puffs of dust on the dirt road, Lin Xi and his party left the Holy Step City.
