CH 27

After the renovation, one couldn’t live in it immediately. It needed to get ventilated for a while. Even if the paint was environmentally friendly, it had formaldehyde. It was very bad for the human body to live in it immediately.

But Su Xingyue couldn’t wait for a moment.

On Saturday, Su Xingchen went to Teacher Zhao’s house for class. In the evening, she returned with four storage boxes and quilts belonging to her. They were thrown out and placed in the living room. Her quilt was also thrown on the balcony.

The glass door between the balcony and the living room was closed. Since the balcony was renovated it smelled of paint. It took 24 hours for it to get ventilated with opened windows and the curtain between the balcony and the window was pulled up.

At first Su Xingchen only noticed the four storage boxes at the door. She already had a hunch in her mind. When she tried to open the door, she found that the door was locked. She took the key to open the door, but it was opened from the inside.

Su Xingyue was unhappy and blocked the door. She pointed to the north balcony, “Your room is there!”

Su Xingchen saw that the small bed that belonged to her had been put away and she didn’t know where it was. Now that it was vacated, Su Xingyue’s room was empty.

Su Xingchen did not want to live in the same room as Su Xingyue.

To be honest, she stood desperate in front of the balcony that had changed greatly.

She was breathing qi into her body now, and her perception was already stronger than ordinary people. This small balcony that had just been renovated made her very uncomfortable.

In fact, a Gathering Array* or Gathering Charm could temporarily solve this problem.

She majored in refining pills. But at the beginning, she didn’t know which one she should pick, so she exchanged the basic pill, basic refining, basic spell and basic formation, and finally chose the most suitable for her wood-based power.

So she also understood simple basic runes.

But the problem was that she had no materials.

The market, the rune paper, there was nothing. Even with money, what could she do?

City H wasn’t small, it took half an hour to travel on the bus. A little further away, it took an hour or two. Poor people like Su Xingchen who had no money and no car took more time. And she had to go to Teacher Zhao’s home classes on weekends.

After thinking about it, she touched her phone and went downstairs. She was about to call someone who she had left behind since her rebirth — the green spiky haired boy Cheng Kangyao.

Cheng Kangyao was at the Internet cafe with a group of friends.

His home had a computer, but he liked to stay in the suffocating Internet cafe. He opened a box, and played games with a group of Shā mǎ tè.

When he saw Su Xingchen’s phone call, he was a little surprised and frowned impatiently. Then he answered the phone, “What’s the matter?”

“Where are you now?”

“Internet cafe!” He kept tapping the keyboard, “What do you want!”

“Can you help me buy something?”

Cheng Kangyao slid the mouse hard and the sound of victory came from the headphones hanging around his neck. He threw the headphones, got up, went to the window, and opened it, “What?”

“Rune paper, cinnabar, Fú bǐ.”

(Fú bǐ: Brush)

Cheng Kangyao was stunned, “What are you saying?”

“Rune Paper is yellow paper used for Taoist symbols, cinnabar is a chinese medicinal material, it should be available in a Chinese medicine store. You could find it for me there. Rune paper and brush, these things should be in Taoist temple.”

“You called me to ask me to buy rune paper and rune brush from the Taoist Temple? What are you doing? Feudal superstition?”

“I can’t tell you, could you help me buy it? You must go to the regular Taoist temple, don’t buy one at the roadside, it’s useless.”

Su Xingchen had always been arrogant before and she was Cheng Kangyao’s first love. She wouldn’t be so polite while speaking to him. Suddenly she was so polite. Cheng Kangyao felt strange and did not refuse, “I will go buy it for you. “

After hanging up the phone, he didn’t even want to play the game anymore. He stood in daze at the window.

When he went back, he passed a few pharmacies. He went in and asked if there was any cinnabar for sale. But there was none!

Cheng Kangyao was a little bit dumbfounded, what should he do if they didn’t sell it?

Su Xingchen said that Chinese medicine stores had these. He thought of a few hundred-year-old Chinese medicine stores in the city center and planned to go there the next day.

When Su Xingchen went back, she saw a lot of plants and flowers on the roadside in the small store downstairs. She bought two pots of hanging pots and a spider plant.

The “spider plant” was also known as air purifier. It could perform photosynthesis under weak light and absorb toxic gases and carcinogens such as formaldehyde, styrene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Generally, if one or two basins were placed in a room, they could absorb the formaldehyde in the air.

They had great absorption. But formaldehyde was constantly released, and plants could only photosynthesize during the day. They couldn’t work at night and Su Xingchen was not at home most of the day. She only came back to sleep at night, so plants couldn’t do it. She went to the supermarket and bought several packs of activated carbon.

The money she still had was what Father Su had given her that day.

When she came back, she pruned the spider plant and re-inserted it in a bottle. A hanging basket was hung on the ventilated wardrobe door, a pot was hung on the shelf at the head of the bed, and the green scattered on the desk. Thanks to her wood power, a few pots of green plants became more lush and vibrant.

It was a pity that these ordinary plants were not spiritual ones.
