I awakened the cultivation panel.

Chapter 74 New Profession: Talisman Maker
really.

When Chen Jingle woke up the next day, just as he had predicted, the typhoon had passed and it was very quiet outside.

Apart from the branches and leaves scattered in the yard, along with a lot of mud, proving that a typhoon had passed, everything else was fine.

Even the rose arch and flower wall, which were the biggest concerns before, were not damaged.

I already said it's a small typhoon, nothing serious.

Looking at the typhoon's real-time path, it's already approaching the border area where the three provinces of southern Jiangxi meet.

"Run so fast!"

Once it reaches the other side without the added moisture from the ocean, it's no longer considered a typhoon, and it will dissipate quickly as the wind weakens.

The weather will get quite cool.

When he came downstairs, the two parrots saw him and shouted, "Get up!" "Lazybones!" "You heartless wretch!" "We want to eat!"

So noisy!
Chen Jingle regretted teaching them to talk. Now, to save time, he showed them videos, and they learned a lot of random things.

"Shut up! If you keep making noise, everyone will go hungry today!"

He replied curtly.

The two parrots immediately fell silent; they wouldn't dare to go against Chen Jingle.

Ha, what a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

The long-haired boy ran over, meowing and rubbing against his trouser leg, saying, "Hey, open the door, I need to go to the bathroom."

Chen Jingle: "..."

The door opened, and Longhair dashed out.

The two parrots looked at each other, then flew to Chen Jingle's shoulder, glancing left and right and exchanging glances.

"The typhoon has passed, there's no major problem, everything is fine."

Chen Jingle thought for a moment and sent a message to Li Shiming.

I don't know why I sent it to them. Maybe they thought of me last night and sent me a message to say hello.

Now that everything's alright, why not let them know you're safe?

That's it.

Not receiving a reply, perhaps because it was still early and he hadn't woken up yet, Chen Jingle put away his phone and began to clean up the mess.

There weren't many things in the yard; everything that needed to be put away had been put away beforehand. The main task was cleaning and tidying up.

First, let the birds out of the tool shed and clean up their droppings. Then, wash away the mud and fallen leaves in the yard.

The fallen leaves, wet with water, stick very firmly and cannot be swept away with a broom; they must be rinsed with water.

Chen Jingle found a plastic water pipe, connected it to a tap, and rinsed the yard thoroughly before finally cleaning it.

Next, just wait for the ground to dry.

As for the rose branches that were blown down by the typhoon, those that can be re-secured should be re-secured, and those that are completely broken should be cut off and planted to the side, waiting for them to take root and sprout, and grow into individual plants.

The problem is not big.

I took another look at the orchard and saw that only two or three slightly deformed jackfruits had fallen from the trees. The larger ones, with their thick and sturdy stems, were not affected.

Not many longan fruits were knocked down.

In the vegetable garden area, the lettuce and water spinach were mostly harvested ahead of time, so there's no need to worry. Only in the rice area were some seedlings damaged by branches broken off by the typhoon, but fortunately they were all small branches and the impact was minimal.

Chen Jingle breathed a sigh of relief; the losses were within an acceptable range.

He went to visit his uncle and found that it didn't have much of an impact, so he was relieved.

……

The impact of this round of typhoons was limited, but some farmers who grow rice, tomatoes, lychees, bananas, coconuts, and betel nuts still suffered heavy losses.

In the face of natural disasters, there is very little that human power can do.

The same applies to Chen Jingle.

With his limited strength, he couldn't even protect his own small plot of land, let alone contend with the forces of nature.

"It's still too weak."

This left him somewhat confused, unsure of which direction to take to improve his strength.

It's not easy to advance to the next level in a short period of time.

"You woke up so early?"

At this moment, Li Shiming replied to the message.

"It's alright. You went to bed early last night, so you naturally woke up early. Or rather, you woke up late."

Chen Jingle smiled and replied. To his surprise, Li Shiming replied, "I got up early, okay? I'm already at school getting ready for class. I just hadn't replied to your messages while driving. What, you thought I was still lazing in bed?"

Chen Jingle: "Uh..."

He genuinely thought the other person hadn't gotten up yet.

After all, he got up relatively early today; he usually sleeps until late morning, or even noon.

This is what it's like not having to go to work.

Over time, you get used to it and feel that waking up at this time is already very early.

Even back when I was working, waking up before 7 a.m. was considered early.

He knew that all primary and secondary schools in the city were closed due to the typhoon, but he didn't know when the closure would end, and he assumed that there would be no classes today as well.

Unexpectedly, not only did he wake up earlier than her, but she was already at school.

awkward.

If classes resume today, it's normal for the other person to get up earlier than him, since he's a teacher and, according to the customs of the Lingnan region, should be at school by 6:30 to supervise the students' morning reading.

Li Shiming replied with an emoji of Li Shimin's "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger".

Very well, here comes the poisoned wine.JPG
(picture)

Difficult to stretch.

Chen Jingle chuckled to himself.

Your emoji is great, it's mine now.

On the other end of the network, Li Shiming's lips curled slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly heard the phone ring.

She had a class during the first period this morning, so I quickly said, "I have to go to class now, we'll talk later."

He then stuffed his phone into his handbag, picked up his lesson plan, and left the office.

Chen Jingle replied with a "good".

……

After confirming that everything had returned to normal, Chen Jingle returned to his familiar daily cultivation routine.

Refining elixirs, cultivating skills, tending to flowers, plants, vegetables, and crops, and after finishing these tasks, playing with the cat and feeding the parrot.

It was a busy but fulfilling day.

I replied to Li Shiming's messages a few times, but we didn't chat much; she seemed to be very busy today too.

In addition, although the typhoon has passed and the weather is still relatively good, the cloud cover is still a bit thick, and it might rain tonight.

Even if it doesn't rain, it will probably be difficult to see the moon.

Chen Jingle sighed, "It looks like we probably won't be able to collect any moon dew tonight."

There's nothing we can do about it; Moon Dew, such an essence of heaven and earth, is too dependent on the weather.

Unless it's an area with consistently good weather and high visibility at night.

Fortunately, I had a sudden idea yesterday and stayed up all night to collect three drops, which at least alleviated my urgent need.

Chen Jingle shrugged. "Fine, whatever. It's normal not to collect anything in a day or two. You can't expect everything to go your way."

It's okay if you can't collect moon dew; you can still use it for cultivation at night.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Wenjie came to pick up the scallions.

Now that the typhoon has passed, it's only natural to continue setting up the stall tonight.

He handed over a stack of yellow papers: "Here, these are for your family."

"What is this?" Chen Jingle asked, puzzled.

Chen Wenjie said, "It's a house-protecting charm, someone gave it to me, but I don't know which deity gave it to me. I know nothing about these things."

A talisman for warding off evil spirits? You mean a talisman?

Chen Jingle subconsciously reached out and took it.

At this moment, a prompt box popped up—

[New job triggered: Rune Maker.]

Chen Jingle: "Huh?!"

A new profession? Talisman Maker?
interesting.
