After settling Zhou Qingxue in, Lin Xiuyuan continued to devote himself to cultivation.
With the support of abundant resources, Lin Xiuyuan's magical power has grown extremely rapidly over the past three years. He was already close to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and by the second year, his magical power had reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. Now, he is accumulating power towards the high-stage of the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
The rate at which mana increased was as expected.
Presumably, within ten years, they will reach a bottleneck and begin to try to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment!
As time goes by, another mini-competition has begun.
Three years passed by in a fulfilling and busy manner.
This is also his third year since he passed the newcomer stage... Lin Xiuyuan thought carefully. Although his cultivation growth was not as expected after entering the main peak for more than ten years, it was only because he had accumulated talismans in the past seven years, which caused his cultivation growth to be slow.
But so much has happened and changed.
This established his status as a prodigy of Lingxiao and secured a large amount of resources.
Everything is back on track, and even more so than expected.
On a normal day, he makes two simple talismans, and delivers one each month to earn some contribution points. With the disciples' annual stipend, the resources here are almost enough to sustain Lin Xiuyuan's needs.
With the rewards for ranking in each competition, the resources are incredibly abundant. They not only support his cultivation but also help him raise spirit beasts, eliminating the need for the extreme restrictions and constant mental strain he used to face.
Both my progress in talismanic arts and my cultivation are now extremely rapid!
With expert guidance from above and abundant resources below
This was arguably the most peaceful period of cultivation Lin Xiuyuan had ever experienced since entering the world of cultivation.
Lin Xiuyuan would never miss another small competition. Although the rewards for the small competition were not high, even if he won first place in the group, it would only be a bottle of pills plus two hundred contribution points. However, the pills were high-grade Yangfa pills, and the contribution points far exceeded those of spirit stones, bringing in at least seven or eight thousand extra income.
With Lin Xiuyuan's combat strength, winning first place in any level of competition is practically a given.
With so many extra resources to be gained from just a few battles, why wouldn't we participate?
Therefore, even with abundant resources, Lin Xiuyuan had no intention of going into seclusion. Going out once a month not only improved his cultivation and mastery of talismans, but also provided him with additional resources—a triple benefit.
However, this time, on the eve of the minor competition, Lin Xiuyuan went to the Trial Tower and stayed there for quite a while.
Because, after six years of careful guidance from Wang Yangshan, not only were his cultivation problems resolved, but Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts also advanced by leaps and bounds, allowing him to pass the third level of the Trial Tower even faster than expected!
This day.
Lin Xiuyuan was on the third floor of the Trial Tower, beginning to decipher the last jade slip trial, which was the forty-ninth one!
This jade slip trial contains a total of sixteen runes and spirit patterns.
It doesn't seem like much; it seems like it can be solved gradually.
However, the complexity of these sixteen spiritual runes far exceeded expectations.
Because it encompasses all the changes in the Dao of Runes that can be understood today, the combination of dual spirit runes is only the foundation. On this foundation, it also includes many other changes such as spirit return runes, spirit binding runes, spirit condensation runes, and so on. Furthermore, the runes themselves even show signs of two runes merging. As a result, finding the 'qi' within them and using it to complete and perfect the runes is extremely difficult.
Including today, this is Lin Xiuyuan's fourth day in the Trial Tower.
And yet, we've only cracked less than half of it...
This gives us a glimpse into the situation.
And at this moment.
The entire three-story trial tower was now teeming with people.
Originally, the Lingxiao disciples, who were only on the third level, noticed that Lin Xiuyuan was passing the last jade slip trial, so they stayed to observe out of curiosity.
As a result, more and more disciples gathered here, and even many senior Lingxiao disciples from the fourth level came specifically to watch.
For others, it might not be so easy to get excited.
But this is Lin Xiuyuan... All told, it seems that only thirteen years have passed from the first level of the Trial Tower to the third level?
And of those ten years, the period for newcomers has already been ten!
Ordinary Lingxiao disciples, after thirteen years, are still only on the second level of the Trial Tower. Perhaps some exceptionally talented Lingxiao geniuses have broken through to the third level.
However, even the most prodigious geniuses of modern times, Senior Brother Zhong Qian and Senior Sister Wang Qiuhe, did not achieve such an exaggerated feat, completing the third level of trials in just thirteen years.
The former seems to have taken more than twenty years to pass the third level of the Trial Tower, while the latter, with slightly higher talent, has also taken nearly twenty years.
Therefore, it is evident that if Lin Xiuyuan were to break through the third level of the Trial Tower in such a short time, he would undoubtedly create another legend that would be passed down within the Cloud Soaring Sect!
"He's a prodigy! Even though I've always known this, watching him decipher the final trial jade slip on the third level makes me want to call him a prodigy."
"If it succeeds, it will likely create another legend!!"
"Even if he fails this time, it will only take a few years at most, and he will still be the first and fastest genius in history to pass the third level of the Trial Tower."
"This talent is truly outrageous. Just how strong is it? From now on, he's probably the number one talisman-wielding prodigy in Lingxiao!"
