Four hours later.
Lin Xiuyuan moved away before the last jade slip trial, which totaled forty-eight jade slip trials!
His face looked somewhat haggard, clearly indicating that his spiritual energy and mental state had been greatly depleted.
After all, it involves low-grade, early-level spirit patterns and runes, and each jade slip trial contains at least several spirit patterns or runes.
Seeing that he had solved the last jade slip trial, Lin Xiuyuan was overjoyed. He had gained a thousand contribution points, which, together with the five hundred from the first level, greatly eased the current situation!
The 1,500 contribution points he received relieved Lin Xiuyuan of his last remaining worry.
Next, you can safely stockpile three secret talismans and ensure a certain cultivation speed without worrying about delaying your cultivation advancement!
Just as Lin Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, calmed himself down, and was about to go to the corridor to recover his spiritual senses...
Behind him, everyone stared in disbelief.
They all looked at him with astonishment.
There was shock, disbelief, and an indescribable complexity in his expression.
The entire second level of the Trial Tower fell into a deathly silence!
"Junior Brother Lin... no, it seems we'll have to start calling you Senior Brother from now on!"
Someone broke the silence with a wry smile.
Then a series of voices rang out, and people looked at Lin Xiuyuan with complicated expressions.
"Senior Brother Lin, we've certainly seen it all. I wonder if those prodigies like Senior Sister were like this back then, but you've shown us what a prodigy really is!"
"It seems that our Lingxiao lineage will have another potential chief in the future."
"Senior Brother Lin, you are truly an extraordinary prodigy."
Although the strong are respected in the cultivation world, the lineage of Lingxiao places even greater emphasis on the level of skill among spiritual masters, which is why the current scene unfolds.
Lin Xiuyuan repeatedly cupped his hands and said, "Senior brothers are joking. I have only just entered the main peak and have been fortunate enough to make faster progress in my talismanic arts, but my future may not be smooth sailing! Senior brothers' cultivation is all a level higher than mine, so you are really making this junior brother feel bad."
But Lin Xiuyuan smiled modestly at the words of admiration and respect from everyone, accepting them all with equanimity. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he steadily and quickly passed the jade slip trial. Wasn't this one of his goals?
From this day forward, his name will undoubtedly become the subject of much discussion on the main peak.
The initial signs of its potential have emerged; the next step is to allow it to accumulate continuously, soaring to new heights, ultimately helping it compete for the highest level of resource cultivation!
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, everyone watched Lin Xiu's departing figure disappear into the corridor, and for a moment, the complex expressions on their faces deepened.
The atmosphere quieted down again.
After a moment, someone sighed and said softly in an admiring tone:
"To be born in the same year as such a prodigy is both our misfortune and our fortune!"
"The disciples from the same batch as him, that is, us... we have no hope of competing for the top spot in the rankings. However, being able to have a brotherhood with such a monstrous genius may be a great opportunity for us in the future."
Upon hearing this poignant and complex statement, everyone nodded silently, expressing their agreement.
"You've only been at the main peak for a few years, and you've already passed the second level of the Trial Tower. Back then, we were still learning the basic Five Elements runes, right?"
"It seems that even the most outstanding prodigy is only about to pass the first level of the Trial Tower... How come he has already passed the second level of the Trial Tower in just a few years?"
"He's already gone down to the third floor, is there still room for him to escape?"
"We've been practicing for twenty or thirty years, and we're still stuck on the second level of the Trial Tower..."
"The gap between people is just too vast! This gap is truly disheartening!"
"It's unbelievable! If it hadn't happened right before my eyes, I would probably have scoffed and called him an idiot just because I heard it from someone else. And if we didn't know he was a rogue cultivator who joined the sect halfway through his cultivation journey, we would probably have thought he was a direct descendant of some spiritual talisman family!!"
"I wonder if those monstrous geniuses like Senior Sister progressed at the same pace back then? If not... then he's practically defying the heavens."
"In any case, this Junior Brother Lin... no, Senior Brother Lin, will undoubtedly be a strong contender for the top position in the future, meaning he may become a high-ranking figure in the sect, or even... an ancestor!!!"
"It's fortunate, really. We're all connected to these people to some extent, and they might just be a great opportunity for us in the future!"
...
…………
Lin Xiuyuan sat down briefly in the corridor, using the Spirit Mind Pill to quickly restore his spiritual power.
In just two hours, he had recovered to about 70-80%.
Lin Xiuyuan then got up and continued walking down to the third level of the Trial Tower, without making any thorough preparations.
Lin Xiuyuan knew that with his current mastery of talismanic arts, he was almost ready to pass the second level of the trial, but he would likely not be able to pass the third level, which involved low-grade to mid-level spirit runes. He had only mastered less than half of them, and at most he could pass a few jade slip trials.
However, because these jade slip trials have a tempering effect, they can also help people improve their talisman skills. They are of great help in consolidating and studying the spiritual patterns and runes that one has already mastered.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan knew that he would basically not be able to pass the third level of the trial in the short term, but he still came. However, he did not have too much expectation and took it in stride.
I will come here more often in the future. It is similar to Lingxiao Pavilion. The difference is that although the Trial Tower is said to be a trial and test, it is entirely for motivation. Its main purpose is to enhance the cultivator's mastery of talismanic arts.
