"I need to learn how to make a new type of talisman. These two barely bring in any income."
The Cleaning Talisman sells for 1 spirit stone per four, while the Light Shield Talisman is priced at 1 spirit stone each.
However, the cost of materials is no small matter
Talisman Paper: 1 spirit stone per bundle (10 sheets per bundle).
Ink (Cinnabar): 5 spirit stones per block (sufficient for one hundred talismans before drying up).
Talisman Brush, Considered a magical tool with tiers. A First Rank Low-Tier Talisman Brush costs between 20 to 30 spirit stones.
If you use it only to draw for First Rank Low-Tier Talismans, it lasts for about one thousand talismans before breaking.
If I focus on Light Shield Talismans, which have a success rate of less than twenty percent, then even after crafting ten bundles worth of talismans, I'd barely earn a few spirit stones.
And if I deduct the initial investment for the talisman brush, there would be nothing left for me to profit from.
"The rent is due tomorrow, I need to sell the spirit rice to earn some money. The rent is 1 spirit stone per month."
"Do i need to hunt some beast? No i need to improve my realm first. The demonic beast is not the only one i will encounter in the forest."
"Cultivator in the forest is more dangerous than those demonic beast."
"Let's just wait until tomorrow, it's already starting to get dark outside."

At night,
He sit on the meditation mat on his room to cultivate.
"There is no more discomfort feeling i felt yesterday when i cultivate. My meridian is fully recovered."
"Hmm? Why do I feel like there's no bottleneck? It feels like I could break through to the 4th Layer if I try."
"Let's give it a shot. There's no harm as long as I don't force it too much."
Sitting cross-legged, he took a deep breath and began a full circulation of his cultivation technique.
As spirit energy flowed through his meridians, he guided it toward his dantian, carefully pushing forward to expand it.
The process went smoothly, almost too smoothly, as easy as drinking water.
Just like that...
He feel that his dantian has expanded.
