A few days ago, perhaps due to immense pressure and the constant creation of talismans to restore his cultivation opportunities, his magical power increased no less than during his usual arduous cultivation.
After refining a Jade Spirit Pill, Lin Xiuyuan broke through to the next stage of Qi Refining.
But when he recalled that breakthrough, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He was too eager to become stronger, and without any prior preparation, he immediately began his breakthrough when he felt the opportunity had arrived.
Who knew it would be so dangerous!
In retrospect, it's not unreasonable to call someone with all five elements of spiritual roots a useless or mixed spiritual root; the chances of breaking through minor bottlenecks are simply too low.
During this period, his magical power surged several times. If he hadn't been able to control it, he would have suffered a qi deviation and broken meridians!
Fortunately, perhaps due to the transmigration of his soul, the fusion of his two lives resulted in his mental power exceeding his current level. In the face of life and death, he barely managed to control his magical power and complete the breakthrough.
The dangers involved still send shivers down my spine whenever I think about them.
"Your qualifications are too low. You'll have to prepare better next time, or you won't be so lucky."
After more than half a month of intensive talisman making, sleeping only one hour a day, and immersing myself in talisman making except for eating, drinking and relieving myself.
The progress accumulated quite quickly, and at this point, it had reached more than one-tenth of the total progress.
Moreover, he had become a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, and his magical power was more than enough to support the completion of a mid-level talisman.
There is a certain success rate, but the problem lies in the mastery of talismans.
Lin Xiuyuan decided to try his luck and see if he could successfully refine it.
However, three consecutive attempts failed.
Lin Xiuyuan had gotten used to this, and remained calm and continued making talismans.
As the moon hung high above the willow branches, a hint of excitement appeared on Lin Xiuyuan's face.
With only a few strokes remaining on the entire talisman, it was completely finished!
"Hold on!"
"Stay calm..."
Lin Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, his expression extremely focused. His hand holding the talisman brush was like an iron clamp, very steady and powerful.
Finally, with the last stroke of the pen.
The interwoven lines on the entire talisman outlined individual runes, which then shimmered with faint light.
A surge of spiritual energy then spread outwards.
"It's done... then we're probably not far from the second one!"
A smile appeared on Lin Xiuyuan's face, and the pressure in his heart immediately lessened, making him feel relaxed all over.
"What's making you so happy?" As usual, Liao Cai'er had already prepared a pile of dishes and sat at the table, quietly waiting for Lin Xiuyuan to finish making the talisman.
"Nothing much, I've just made great progress in my talisman-making. I've successfully crafted my first mid-grade talisman! Hahaha. Here, let me heat it up with my magic power, let's eat."
Lin Xiuyuan had a smile on his face. He didn't tell Liao Cai'er about the time limit, so as not to cause her any unnecessary worry.
"That's truly wonderful news! I never imagined it would take you so long to reach the beginner level of a talisman master, but you've already touched upon the intermediate level so quickly. It seems I really underestimated you before. Now it seems you might be a talisman master genius!"
Seeing this, Liao Cai'er did not ask any further questions, but offered her congratulations with a smile.
Lin Xiuyuan's face, which was usually serious and calm, now showed excitement, as if he had unloaded some kind of burden.
This inexplicably relieved her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Liao Cai'er lived in the market mostly under Liao Yong's protection, rarely coming into contact with the outside world. Although she was somewhat naive, she was not stupid.
Although the exact details are unclear, one can speculate and vaguely understand the immense pressure Lin Xiuyuan is under. This peaceful house and tranquil environment couldn't have just fallen from the sky...
As the moonlight shone down, Liao Cai'er laughed happily, her smile radiant and beautiful, leaving Lin Xiuyuan momentarily stunned.
...
…………
The first half month passed quickly.
On this day, Lin Xiuyuan carried four water shield talismans to the front of Jinyuan Pavilion.
Although the rules stipulate that twelve or thirteen mid-level talismans should be submitted each month, due to Lin Xiuyuan's special circumstances, Manager Chen only requires him to submit six talismans within the time limit or assessment period.
There are still two missing, but it's not a big problem. We'll add two more next month when it's officially delivered, and there shouldn't be any issues!
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan walk in, Manager Chen looked him over and his eyes lit up. A smile spread across his face as he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations! Master Lin, you've really made a name for yourself in just a few days. Congratulations on successfully breaking through to the fourth level of Qi Refining."
"Manager Chen flatters me. Compared to you, my progress is only minor, and I am still a long way from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Manager Chen, on the other hand, may one day when we meet again, you will be a Foundation Establishment senior."
Lin Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly and laughed.
Shopkeeper Chen is a Qi Refining Stage 9 cultivator, just one step away from the Lesser Perfection stage. Once he takes that step, he will be qualified to attempt the Foundation Establishment stage.
Furthermore, considering Manager Chen's age, he is far from reaching the sixty-year mark. Once he reaches the Great Perfection realm, his chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will be even greater.
"Master Lin, there's no need to belittle yourself. With your age and talent in talismanic arts, you might become a Foundation Establishment expert before me."
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and continued, "Now that Master Lin has become a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and he has come to our door just in time, he must have already become a mid-level talisman master, right?"
Lin Xiuyuan nodded, then shook his head and said, "I was fortunate enough to successfully break through to the intermediate level, but I still need some time to consolidate my strength. These are four talismans I have refined. Please take a look, Manager Chen. Although I am short of the required number, I will deliver two more next month. Is that acceptable?"
Shopkeeper Chen did not answer immediately, but instead took the four water shield talismans and examined them carefully.
Sitting in the manager's seat of Jinyuan Pavilion, he had handled tens of thousands of talismans. In an instant, he had a thorough understanding of the capabilities of these few talismans.
Of course, these are just some superficial traces.
However, this indicates that these talismans were recently crafted, and compared to other talismans, they contain relatively weak magical power, making them among the lower quality talismans.
It was clearly the work of a newly reached intermediate-level rune master.
These are not problems, but rather a good thing.
When Manager Chen looked at Lin Xiuyuan again, his gaze became more ardent, and his smile broadened.
