Every time he came to the back mountain, he would either discuss Taoism with Wang Qiuhe or spar with Wang Yangshan.
Although the latter's movements during the sparring session were somewhat reckless and lacked finesse, he was generally enjoying himself. He was in a state of both pain and pleasure.
As a cultivator who has been in the Purple Mansion stage for many years, Wang Yangshan has mastered a wide range of techniques. He used the techniques of the Cloud Soaring lineage to practice with Lin Xiuyuan, allowing Lin Xiuyuan to make full preparations.
After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle!
Having a powerful expert in the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm as a sparring partner greatly improved Lin Xiuyuan's combat skills. Although he was already very experienced, the gap between him and this 'old monster' who had lived for hundreds of years was still enormous. Every move he made was meticulous and showed the demeanor of a grandmaster, which greatly benefited Lin Xiuyuan.
Of course, in addition to sparring, the guidance from the talisman master was also never missed.
With occasional discussions with Wang Qiuhe, his mastery of talismanic arts remained stable.
His progress in the Trial Tower was slightly slower because he focused on improving his cultivation, but it wasn't by much, and he continued to steadily advance towards the fifth floor.
As expected, it is estimated that in about ten years, he will be able to step into the fifth level of the Trial Tower and catch up with the progress of contemporary Lingxiao prodigies like Wang Qiuhe!
The days passed in this alternating pattern, sometimes spent in the back mountains experiencing both pain and joy, sometimes discussing Taoism with Wang Qiuhe, and sometimes cultivating in the cave.
finally.
In the fourth year, the purple light of the three secret talismans overflowed one after another.
Two years earlier than expected...
I originally thought that I would have to spend time hoarding talismans, which might delay my cultivation progress.
Now that he has finished ahead of schedule, he is not afraid of delaying his cultivation. With his current talisman-making efficiency, he can reliably produce two or three talismans every month, which is enough to stockpile for six years, allowing him to continue to steadily improve his cultivation.
"The wonders of this Youxue are truly remarkable. If it were placed in the outside world, I wonder if a Golden Core cultivator would be tempted, but even a talisman master at the Purple Mansion stage would probably be unable to resist trying to snatch it!"
"This favor is truly immense; how should I repay it in the future?"
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the Youxue Talisman Brush in his hand and sighed.
From Wang Qiuhe's perspective, this was an apology and compensation for breach of contract.
But Lin Xiuyuan didn't see it that way. He knew nothing about the matter and had never cared about it, so he didn't care about breaking the contract or not. Besides, he didn't really care about it.
Therefore, in his view, this 'compensation' was a huge favor!
After obtaining the Snow-Scented Talisman Brush, Lin Xiuyuan used it. Since his success rate was already very high, he didn't feel much of the subtle increase in success rate brought by the talisman brush. However, he did feel a significant improvement in efficiency.
Using the Snow Brush to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth makes the strokes smoother, and the same goes for outlining spiritual patterns; the efficiency is improved by more than a fraction.
Originally, after Lin Xiuyuan arrived at the main peak and visited the Scripture Pavilion and the Trial Tower, his talisman-making skills improved dramatically, resulting in an incredibly high talisman-making efficiency. If he focused entirely on talisman-making, he could produce four or five finished talismans at a time.
However, once the Snow Brush was in hand, his skill level improved again, allowing him to produce five or six finished products in a month.
If word got out that someone could produce five or six spirit talismans in a month, even if you swore on your life, probably no one would believe it. An ordinary, experienced talisman master can produce at most two spirit talismans a month, while a prodigy like Wang Qiuhe might produce two or three.
With the wonders of the purple talisman, his mastery of talismanic arts, and the assistance of the Nether Snow Talisman Brush, he achieved a remarkable triple-layered efficiency, producing five to six talismans per month – an astonishing feat. This undoubtedly boosted his resource gains even further.
Therefore, the time required to make the talisman remained the same, but making one more talisman per month was enough. This increased efficiency naturally accelerated the accumulation of purple light, directly shortening the time by two years, allowing the three secret talismans to gradually reach the point of overflowing purple light.
Thanks to the effects of the Ghost Snow, Lin Xiuyuan didn't need to spend too much time making talismans. He could produce two or three talismans per month, which took very little time, only two or three hours a day. This was equivalent to the talisman-making efficiency of other talisman-making prodigies in a month...
This shows how significant the boost brought by the Snowfall Talisman Brush is.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan cannot accept this favor!
Time passed slowly, progress was steady, and he fully enjoyed the comfortable cultivation environment.
Although there is a major competition to be held, it is not as serious as the original challenge with Wang An, where I would need to overcome obstacles to obtain a better cultivation environment.
Given his current status and position, losing wouldn't be a big deal; at most, it would just be a loss of reputation, which would only make the Han family's influence grow stronger.
But to begin with, he was not favored by most people in this challenge.
Even if he loses, it won't harm his interests in the slightest. At most, his interests in competing with other sects during the Purple Mansion stage might be affected.
In the present context, it is of no serious consequence.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and focused on his cultivation and talismanic arts, maintaining a steady pace.
The year has come to eight.
When Lin Xiuyuan entered the Trial Tower, he once again attracted the attention of many eyes.
Although I used to come here almost every month, this time was different.
This time, more than half a year had passed.
He had already deciphered the last trial jade slip on the fourth level, and after spending more than half a year preparing, he came again!
I am already quite confident.
