Chapter 18: Wait

After answering Xiao Mao, Yu Shi Lan continued to walk forward and then stopped in front of a ruined jewelry store. She was grateful that there were jewelry stores in the mall and this will definitely allow her to find some valuable items.

“Meow?” <What are you trying to find? These metals are useless to make weapon and you can’t eat them.>

Xiao Mao looked at these things on the ground with disdain. Her cute cat face was slightly raised, making her look even more adorable with her arrogant gesture.

Yu Shi Lan chuckled. “I don’t need the gold either. What I want to find is jade.”

“Meow?” <Jade?> Xiao Mao looked confused for a moment before she seemed to remember something. <Are you thinking about making those talismans? But you’re only Qi Refinement Rank 1 and normally one need to be above Qi Refinement Rank 6 to make useful talisman.>

Because the amount of Qi needed and the precise control needed to make the talisman was extremely difficult.

“I know, so I only make the simplified one.” Yu Shi Lan then showed the jade pendant that she wore to Xiao Mao while crouching down to find any valuable jade among them.

To be honest, she planned to buy it herself at first.

But her foster parents were simply too wasteful and the amount of money left was not that much. Considering that she still has to buy enough warm takeout food, Yu Shi Lan could only restrain herself and only bought one.

The jade hairpin lost its pendant, but Yu Shi Lan still kept it for the time being.

“Meow.” <Space storage talisman… your talent in space is still as high as ever>

Xiao Mao’s tail swayed slightly after she checked the talisman that Yu Shi Lan made. She had long known that Yu Shi Lan has great talent for space, which might be the reason why the two of them had such a high compatibility to the point of directly signing a soul contract.

After all, her own ability was related to time and space, a very rare cat breed in the cultivation world.

“Of course.” Yu Shi Lan smiled proudly.

“Meow.” <But your elemental control is a mess.>

Yu Shi Lan’s smile paused and she looked at the cat resentfully. After messing around with Xiao Mao’s fur until the cat was about to explode, she took out the jade that she had finally found.

Most jewelries were using gold and silver with only some occasionally sold jade pendants.

So it was more difficult for Yu Shi Lan to find it.

“Meow?” <Miss, there are also jade bracelets and jade accessory. Why don’t you take them together?>

“It’s harder to carve on a bracelet and a necklace,” Yu Shi Lan answered truthfully. With her little amount of Qi, the fastest one would be a pendant, but there were not many of them here.

“Meow!” <Just take them first! It’s not like you will take that long to reach a few stages of Qi Refinement!>

Xiao Mao looked at Yu Shi Lan with one of its claw raised, ready to fight Yu Shi Lan if she disagreed. In her opinion, Yu Shi Lan just needed to have enough time to recover her strength.

Even if Yu Shi Lan couldn’t advance to nascent stage because of the heart tribulation that she has to pass through, reaching golden core stage again shouldn’t be that difficult.

But Yu Shi Lan’s current body is indeed very weak.

It might take a few years for Yu Shi Lan to reach golden core stage if she has to nourish her body first.

*Sigh*

Xiao Mao felt that her owner was really unlucky.

“Alright, alright.”

Yu Shi Lan could only take the rest of the jade materials and then walked away. She planned to make the second space storage talisman and carried a few more supplies from the supermarket before leaving.

While she might not use them all in the end, she could exchange it with some things that she needed.

So… rice, flour, and eggs should be the most important thing.

Hmm, the supermarket’s electricity has been cut for some time, hopefully those things were still good.

*rustle*

“Who is it?” Yu Shi Lan turned to the side and saw a young teenager walking out. He looked at Yu Shi Lan with some hesitation and then asked, “Big Sister, do you have any food?”
