For a moment, the people who noticed Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but show a look of surprise and shock in their eyes.
Perhaps they're looking for someone?
Strange and inexplicable thoughts appeared in their minds.
But it also seems somewhat absurd—why would someone come to the Tower of Probes to find someone?
However, the truth was so shocking that it inevitably gave rise to this thought!
Someone couldn't help but ask:
"Junior Brother Lin, have you already passed the first trial...?"
Lin Xiuyuan nodded with a smile, not bothering to hide anything. Having come to the main peak, he could only adapt to these rules and make a name for himself. His "reputation" had already been established, and now he could only let it "soar to new heights"!
Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan nod in confirmation without any attempt to hide it, the shock in their eyes was immediately evident on their faces.
"Junior Brother Lin, your talent in talismanic arts is truly remarkable!"
"You've only been at the main peak for a few years? And you've already passed the first trial... Although the first trial is quite simple, basically any Lingxiao disciple could pass it without much trouble. But, who didn't cultivate for a while, almost the entire newcomer stage, before easily passing it?"
"Could it be that this Junior Brother Lin comes from a family of spirit talismans? No, according to those disciples who joined at the same time as Junior Brother Lin, he seems to be just a rogue cultivator!"
"If that's the case... this talent is truly terrifying! He's only been in the Lingxiao lineage for a few years, yet he's already mastered the complete foundational inheritance and successfully passed the first level of the trial!!"
"It seems that another prodigy has emerged in our Lingxiao lineage! Perhaps he is a monstrous talent comparable to Senior Sister and Senior Brother Zhong!"
As the thoughts raced through their minds, they began to think more highly of Lin Xiuyuan.
After a while, the group calmed down from their shock.
Someone looked at Lin Xiuyuan and said, "Lin Xiuyuan's talent is truly admirable. He has already passed the first level of the trial in such a short time. It seems that our Lingxiao lineage will produce another genius in the future!"
"Yes, he's only been on the main peak for a few years, yet he already has such profound knowledge of talismans. His talent is truly remarkable. In a while, we might have to start calling him 'Senior Brother' instead."
"…………"
Several people spoke up, their words tinged with admiration and a hint of flattery.
Faced with such a rising prodigy, how could one not feel the urge to befriend him?
Faced with the praise from everyone, Lin Xiuyuan smiled and humbly cupped his hands, saying, "You senior brothers are too kind."
He knows his own situation best. He has no talent for talismanic arts. In terms of talent alone, he is no match for anyone present, and is far inferior. It is only because of the wonders of the purple talisman that he has gained insights into the origin of several talismans, which gives him a special talent for cultivating talismanic arts!
These senior brothers were all frequent visitors to the Lingxiao Dojo, so they were quite familiar with each other. Back then, when Wang An blocked the Dojo outside, many of these senior brothers spoke up for him.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan did not appear too indifferent. After talking with the others for a while, he found a moment to walk to the first jade slip trial and slowly extended his hand.
Seeing this, the senior brothers didn't want to continue their conversation, but their attention was still drawn to Lin Xiuyuan.
At this moment, as Lin Xiuyuan poured his divine sense into the space, he entered what seemed to be an endless, pitch-black space, just like before. However, unlike before, many spiritual patterns appeared before him, emitting a faint light, like stars adorning the dark night sky.
The first level is just a basic practical application, testing the basic Eight Mysterious Spirit Patterns and Five Elements Spirit Patterns.
But the second level contains true entry-level runes and spirit patterns, which are several times more difficult and numerous. Naturally, Lin Xiuyuan's speed in deciphering them is not as fast as before.
However, compared to other disciples at the same level, he is still much faster.
Because Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismans has already surpassed the second level of the trial!
Lin Xiuyuan's divine sense continued to cover the area, searching for a breakthrough to perfect these spiritual runes.
In a short while, Lin Xiuyuan found the breakthrough point for the first initial-level spirit rune. He condensed his divine sense, forming an invisible talisman brush, and placed it on the rune...
Then came the second spirit rune, and so on, until the last few runes...
...
It took Lin Xiuyuan about 15 minutes to solve the first jade slip trial. He then moved on to the second jade slip without stopping.
Lin Xiuyuan's divine sense was powerful, comparable to that of a cultivator with extraordinary talent, and a level above other cultivators of the same realm. This amount of consumption was nothing to him.
The first layer is too simple, so it doesn't consume much energy.
It is estimated that after clearing the second level, the energy will be depleted and I will need to rest and recover my spiritual power.
At this moment.
The senior brothers, whose attention was still on Lin Xiuyuan, couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement at the sight.
"A bit too fast? It seems like we'll need at least 15 minutes to pass that jade slip trial!"
"His mastery of talismans is quite formidable! It's truly terrifying. Could it be that his skill in talismans has already surpassed ours?"
"Probably not. But he has already passed the first trial, which shows that his mastery of talismanic arts has already reached a high level. It's normal that he passed this jade slip trial a little faster. We should be able to return in about the same amount of time, since it's just the first jade slip trial of the simplest level of the second layer."
"However, considering the time it took for him to enter the main peak, this is indeed quite extraordinary. Perhaps he had already been constantly comprehending the Dao of Talismans while he was outside? Only this can explain it."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit too monstrous for someone to have reached such a level of mastery in the art of talismans in just a few years?"
"I wonder if it was like this when our senior sister and the others first entered the main peak. Or maybe all prodigies are like this..."
The group whispered among themselves, their voices filled with amazement.
I was initially a little skeptical, thinking that Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismans shouldn't have improved so drastically.
They should have just barely passed the first level of trials, and coming to the second level was just a trial run.
With this in mind, they couldn't help but observe it out of curiosity.
But seeing that Lin Xiuyuan had successfully passed the first jade slip trial, and at such a fast speed.
For a time, they exclaimed that he was a prodigy, marveling at the extraordinary talent of Lin Xiuyuan.
At this time, they didn't think much of it, only that Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts had improved too quickly, entering the second level of the Trial Tower in just a few years after entering the main peak.
It is estimated that their mastery of talismanic arts should catch up with theirs soon.
However, their thoughts soon fluctuated wildly again, and they quickly came to understand the emotional turmoil that Liao Fanghao had experienced earlier...
