Returning to the hut, Zhou Shu immediately took out the few talismans he had obtained and began to study them.

There is no need to look at the three light body talismans. One firebird talisman is of some value, but just looking at the talisman patterns, no matter how good the calculation is, it is impossible to understand the mystery, let alone draw the corresponding talisman. You must

You need to buy jade slips for drawing talismans, or get guidance from a talisman master.

Last time he saw it in Sanyuanzhai, the simplest Qingfeng Talisman Jade Slip requires fifty low-grade spiritual stones, and the others are even more expensive.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Looking at the few spiritual stones, Zhou Shu could only feel helpless.

There was no storage bag, so he piled the spiritual stones on the futon.

Then he entered a state of cultivation. He practiced for about an hour every day. The process was complicated and arduous, and the effect was minimal, but he never relaxed.

For him now, cultivation is like torture, both physical and mental torture.

Less than one-tenth of the spiritual power absorbed and transformed can be preserved in the Qi channels and Qi sea, which is very uncomfortable.

The excess spiritual power passes through the broken energy channels, beating the inside of the body like a whip, causing great pain, and then slowly dissipates.

An hour passed, and Zhou Shu slowly opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.

On the futon in front of me, the black beetle that I had ignored before appeared out of nowhere and lay in the middle of the spiritual stone, swinging its horns in contentment.

Upon closer inspection, the beetle's carapace became much brighter and smoother. The original crystal luster of the spiritual stone under the beetle's body became dim, obviously a lot of the spiritual energy in it was consumed.

"Is it also practicing? Could it be a spiritual insect?"

Zhou Shu suddenly became more interested and reached out to fish out the beetle.

The beetle clutched a spiritual stone and looked at Zhou Shu dissatisfied, its horns twitching for a while.

Zhou Shu ignored it and used his spiritual power to detect it. As soon as he touched the beetle, he felt a repulsive force. This shows that there is also a power similar to spiritual power in the beetle, which is of the same origin but different species.

"It is indeed a spiritual insect."

Zhou Shu showed a hint of joy on his face and put it back on the futon. He put the spirit stones in another place. He couldn't let it eat them all. The spirit stones that maintained the formation had to be left behind.

Beetle was afraid that Zhou Shu would take it again, so he pressed down on several spiritual stones and stared at him without moving.

Spirit insects are similar to monster beasts, most of them have no spiritual intelligence, and are easier for cultivators to use.

Zhou Shu had seen several kinds of spirit insects in Wuwang Sect before, such as earthworms used to dig the ground and gold-eating insects used for prospecting, but he had never seen a beetle like this that could directly absorb the spiritual energy of spirit stones.

Pass.

"Although I don't know what it's called or what it's used for, but foodies generally have good things..."

He was quite happy.

One day passed, and the day agreed with Yan Yue also arrived.

Sanyuanzhai at noon is usually quiet, but it was very lively at this time.

Four female nuns stood in the hall, going out to look around from time to time, and then coming back full of disappointment.

A female cultivator walked in from outside the door, stamped her feet, and said resentfully, "Senior Sister Yan, I've been waiting for an hour, and I don't think that kid will come. He is only at the first level of Qi Refining Realm, how could he have such a chance?

The thunderstorm talisman? I must be hiding and not daring to come."

Someone followed and said, "That's right, he told big lies and asked Senior Sister Yan to waste time waiting for him. It's really abominable. Next time I see you, I must teach him a lesson!"

Yan Yue lowered her beautiful eyes and sighed slightly sadly.

She also had some such thoughts in her mind, but she could only comfort her by saying, "Oh, just wait, we have no other way anyway."

Compared to the others, only the childish Yang Mei still believed in Zhou Shu and nodded seriously, "Sister Yan Yue, I believe he can do it. Let's wait a little longer."

Not far away, Sun Hedao was picking talismans. When he heard Yang Mei's words, he snorted coldly from his nostrils, "Can he? Yang Mei, don't be stupid, I don't think he dares to come at all! How can the middle-grade thunderstorm talisman be so good?

Got it?"

Yang Mei pouted, blinked her big eyes twice, and ignored it.

Sun Hedao approached slowly and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Yan, don't worry. I'll beg Master to help you get one."

The female nun murmured in a low voice, "I can only say it. I have said it dozens of times and I can't bear to do it at all."

"That's right, it's obvious that inner disciples can use their contribution points to exchange for mid-grade talismans, which only costs fifty points, but he just can't let it go. He just can't let it go, and he still pesters Senior Sister Yan every day..."

"It's okay if you don't help, but if you still ridicule others, what kind of man are you..."

The Heyin Sect is a well-known sect, with many talisman masters among them. Naturally, there will be no shortage of first-level mid-grade talismans, but they need to be exchanged with the sect's contribution points, and only inner sect disciples are eligible to exchange them.

Several female cultivators knew in their hearts that if Sun Hedao was willing to help, there would be no need to go to such trouble.

Sun Hedao's face flushed slightly, but he didn't say what he wanted to say. He thought to himself, "Humph, the sect's contribution is so valuable. I have to save it for elixirs and magic formulas, and exchange talismans to please you. I'm not that stupid."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yan Yue's face tightened slightly and her eyebrows were raised like hooks, "You guys know how to be verbose. Don't bother Senior Brother Sun with trivial matters like the Thunderstorm Talisman. We can handle it ourselves. Senior Brother Sun Hedao, they are a little rude.

Please don't blame me."

"It's okay, why would I blame you?"

Sun Hedao waved his hand and said with a fake smile, "How about, junior sister, I accompany you to do the mission? Even without the thunderstorm talisman, there is still some certainty."

With a faint smile on her delicate face, Yan Yue shook her head lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother, but this task is assigned to us. We can only do it ourselves. If others complete it, it will not count."

A trace of disdain quickly flashed in her eyes. The task she took over was one that many Foundation Establishment Realm disciples were eyeing. Sun Hedao wanted to go with them, saying it was to help, but he was afraid that there might be more malicious elements involved.

Being rejected again, Sun Hedao was a little embarrassed and walked aside to talk to Shopkeeper Hua.

After a while, the waiter pointed to the door and shouted, "Coming, coming!"

Outside Sanyuan Zhai, Zhou Shu walked quickly with a calm look on his face.

Entering the door, he bowed to Shopkeeper Hua and Sun Hedao, then turned to Yan Yue and handed over his hands apologetically, "Senior Sister Yan Yue, I'm sorry, I'm a little late."

Yan Yue took a step forward, looking slightly anxious, "It's okay, Junior Brother Zhou, do you have the talisman?"

Zhou Shu paused, "Fortunately, I have it."

"ah!"

Yan Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed. She only had one ten thousandth plan, but she didn't expect a surprise. The female nuns on the side also approached one after another, surrounding Zhou Shu with both suspicion and joy.

Not far away, Sun Hedao's face changed slightly, and he glanced disdainfully, "Huh, you kid with a yellow mouth, you are talking too much."

A trace of doubt flashed in Hua Ruoan's eyes, and he shook his head slightly. In his opinion, it was impossible for Zhou Shu to draw the Thunderstorm Talisman, and he didn't know what was weird about coming here this time.

The guy next to him opened his eyes wide and raised his ears, paying attention to Zhou Shu's every move.

A female cultivator stretched out her hand impatiently, "Where is it? Take it out and have a look."

"If you dare to lie to others, I will beat you even if the senior sister doesn't let you."

Several female cultivators were chattering and arguing, and even Yan Yue, who was usually dignified, was a little uneasy. On the other hand, Yang Mei was much quieter, looking at Zhou Shu with wide eyes, full of expectation.

Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I brought what you want."

He took out a thunderstorm talisman and handed it to Yan Yue with both hands.

Seeing Zhou Shu really take out the thunderstorm talisman, everyone's eyes were focused on this talisman for a while, with different expressions.

The waiter's eyes were wide-eyed and he was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed so hard that he almost fell down.

Sun Hedao was the most shocked. He was so dumbfounded that his mouth was big enough to stuff a dog egg.
