Chapter 4 includes bloodlines again, a complete frame-up.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the mud-legged alley of Qinggufang Market.
Linli, standing in the courtyard of the dilapidated stone house, has grown to over a foot tall after half a year. Its feathers are as black as ink, and a pair of scarlet eyes flash with a cold light, already showing the initial aura of a young demon bird.
Especially between the eyebrows, there was an extra bulging fleshy bump.
The Blood-Eyed Crow's third eye only grows after it reaches adulthood.
Unlike before, a Yinlin tree has been planted in the center of Li Yunjie's family's courtyard. It has grown to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in just six months. The purpose of this tree is for Lin Li and the other two Blood-Eyed Crows to build their nests on.
"It's a success!"
"A talisman for rejuvenation!"
Li Yunjie, who was drawing talismans under the Yinlin tree in the courtyard, looked excitedly at a greenish-blue rejuvenating talisman on the table.
First-tier, low-grade spiritual talisman, the Rejuvenation Talisman.
Although it is the same level of spirit talisman as the Yin Qi Talisman that Li Yunjie drew before, the Rejuvenation Spirit Talisman is much more difficult, and the market demand is extremely high, so the price is also very stable.
"Congratulations, my husband, on your further advancement in the art of talismans."
At this moment, Wen Qin, who was inside the house, heard the noise and came out with a teapot. She served tea and water to Li Yunjie with a smile on her face.
"The fact that my husband was able to reach this point with only a fragmented inheritance of talisman mastery shows that he has a talent for the path of talisman mastery."
Wen Qin recalled the incomplete talisman master's legacy left by her father before his death, and a sense of sadness welled up in her heart.
"Don't worry, my wife."
"Once I increase the success rate of the Rejuvenation Talisman, I can save up more spirit stones. Then the rent won't be a problem, and I can save up a few more spirit stones. In a dozen years, I can buy a house."
Li Yunjie reached out and pulled Wen Qin into his arms, his gaze sweeping over her belly as he spoke with a gentle smile.
"Wife, quickly go outside and buy a few pounds of demon beast meat. The two children will be delighted when they return from the talisman-making shop."
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
At this moment, Lin Li, who was on the Yinlin tree, heard the conversation between the couple below and his eyes lit up.
He and the two others next to him had been eating the meat of the giant green toad for half a year.
If this family buys monster meat and takes a bite, they might acquire a higher-grade monster bloodline, thus laying a more solid foundation for their next life.
"I've been studying these Yin Qi Talismans and Rejuvenation Talismans for over half a year. If I could cultivate demonic energy, perhaps I could try drawing them myself."
Lin Li was also somewhat eager to try.
However, when I looked down at my own bird claws, I realized that even holding a talisman pen was difficult with claws like those.
Although it may not work in this life, the talisman-drawing techniques learned can be used in the next life and the life after that.
After all, others fight against the demon race for one lifetime, while Lin Li can reincarnate again and again.
It was evening.
The two Li brothers, who worked odd jobs at Zhou's talisman-making shop in Mud Leg Alley, returned home.
Using his connections as a first-tier low-level talisman master, Li Yunjie found two odd jobs for his two children at a talisman paper making shop, where they could assist the master talisman maker.
Although it was tough and tiring, it was considered relatively good among the children in the muddy alley.
"Iron Head".
Here, have some.
"Ertou, you eat too."
The first thing Li Yuan and Li Sheng did upon returning was to bring out a meat jar from the small kitchen and hand out large chunks of toad meat to Lin Li and Er Tou, who were peeking over to eat.
Because of the Iron Bone attribute, Lin Li always dominated Er Tou when it came to fighting for meat. In half a year, Lin Li's body size was a whole size larger than Er Tou's, and they looked like two different demonic birds.
"Iron Head is eating like crazy!"
"Second Brother, if Iron Head breaks through to the first level of Qi Refining, can we go to the Corpse Forest and catch the giant fat toad?"
"A big, fat toad can sell for one and a half spirit stones."
Li Sheng stared wide-eyed at the ruthless Lin Li, whose mouth seemed like a bottomless pit, having already devoured a pound of fat toad meat in just a short while.
Li Sheng spoke with great anticipation at the thought of earning spirit stones.
"Useless."
"What do you know? The ones who make money are the hairy rats."
"That thing has reached the rank. Blood-eyed crows like Ironhead are one of the natural enemies of Blood-haired Rats. Catching one can yield a pound of meat that can be sold for two spirit stones."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Sheng and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"One pound of meat, two spirit stones!"
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng's eyes widened immediately, staring intently at Tie Tou.
night.
Lin Li got his wish and ate a piece of monster meat cooked by the hostess. Li Yuan and Li Sheng each took two pieces to feed Tie Tou.
"It tastes good."
"It smells quite good."
Lin Li swallowed the monster meat in one gulp; it tasted much better than the meat of the giant green toad.
With such a family supporting him, Lin Li could simply wait for food to be served to him every day, and he could also occasionally see Li Yunjie drawing talismans or reading books in the yard, which allowed him to broaden his horizons.
This is much better than my first life as a corpse in the forest.

[Tier 1, Low-grade Bloodline, Crimson Feather Chicken!]
The next instant, a crimson-feathered rooster appeared on the Reincarnation Plate, its body as red as blood, proud and imposing, with a blood-red comb on its head and thick lower limbs.
"Red-feathered pheasant."
"What a pity, it's not some powerful demon beast's meat."
Lin Li was somewhat disappointed, but upon reflection, he could understand. Li Yunjie's family was a poor family from Mud Leg Alley. Although Li Yunjie was a talisman master, he had only just learned to draw his second spirit talisman.
Things were just beginning to look up.
All we can do is wait for Li Yunjie to earn more money so we can buy better monster meat next time.
Three more months passed.
The lady of the house, Wenqin, is pregnant.
Neither of the two boys in the family had spiritual roots when they were tested at the age of seven. Now, Li Yunjie can only hope that his next child will be able to be tested and will be able to inherit his legacy as a talisman master.
That day, the family bought monster meat again, and Lin Li also managed to get a few bites of the delicious meat.
[Inclusion successful]
[First-tier, low-grade bloodline, Azure-scaled Ox!]
On the Reincarnation Plate, a water buffalo covered in blue scales appeared instantly. It had huge horns on its head, a large body, and looked quite imposing.
In Lin Li's mind, the bloodline of the Azure-Scaled Ox was more valuable than that of the Crimson-Feathered Chicken.
A few days later.
The sky above the market was overcast.
The concentration of malevolent energy in the entire market is much higher than before.
Bang!
The gate to the stone house courtyard was kicked open, and three uninvited guests arrived.
Two of them were dressed as black-armored guards from the market, each holding a dark spear with a gleaming black tip, looking imposing and extraordinary.
In front of him stood a bald old man, hunched over, with yellow teeth and a hostile expression as he looked at the panicked Li Yunjie.
"Lord Zhang, Lord Qin, I personally witnessed Li Yunjie bringing that wanted Blood Demon to my home yesterday evening. I swear on my life that every word is true!!"
The bald old man clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, then turned around and pointed at Li Yunjie, speaking with absolute certainty.
On the shady scale tree.
"That's a complete frame-up."
Lin Li, who was standing on the tree trunk, remembered very clearly that Li Yunjie had spent the whole day drawing talismans under the tree in the yard yesterday, and had not left the house until midnight.
