Aside from spending a significant amount of time crafting talismans, Lin Xiuyuan devoted the rest of his time to cultivating the Yin Spirit White Bird, a routine he followed endlessly...
Under Lin Xiuyuan's careful nurturing, those few specially bred "breeding birds" that were responsible for reproduction have reached the second level of Qi Refining and are approaching the third level of Qi Refining.
As for the other Yin Spirit White Birds, they successively entered the first level of Qi Refining.
Overall, this achievement has accelerated the growth process by at least 70-80%, but the amount of spirit stones invested has almost exceeded 300,000!
Only two years have passed since then... During this time, Lin Xiuyuan repeatedly slowed down his pace and controlled costs, which is how he managed to survive. Now, he only has the income from these two years left, which is about 100,000 spirit stones.
Based on the estimates, the cultivation can only be sustained for about another year!
Fortunately, the talisman-making process was faster than expected. After more than two years, the purple light accumulation of the wood talisman and the water talisman had reached 99% respectively!
This day.
On the desk in the study, there was a large pile of talisman materials.
"It will probably take a few months! Once the wood and water magic talismans have accumulated enough purple light to overflow, they should be able to maintain a balance."
Having learned from his previous experience, Lin Xiuyuan was now in a more peaceful state of mind. There was no use in being anxious. All he needed to do next was focus on making talismans and keep pushing forward, and success would come naturally.
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm, a focused expression appearing on his face, and slowly picked up the talisman brush.
The sound of the brush falling to the ground was strangely comforting, like the sound of a gentle breeze brushing against fallen leaves and the friction of the brush against the ground.
Crimson lines were continuously drawn on the yellow talisman...
Lin Xiuyuan stayed in the secret room for a long time.
During this period, he would only leave his study once every ten days for a short time, going to the secret room next door to check on the state of the Yin Spirit White Bird and, incidentally, to activate the Demon Purification Bottle to slowly gather pure demonic energy.
In addition, he left behind a batch of resources for them to refine before returning to his study to continue making talismans.
...
Six months later.
Linan Commandery.
Lin Xiuyuan, carrying more than ten top-tier wood and water magic talismans, disguised himself and entered the city, heading to various large merchant guilds.
After going back and forth between various large chambers of commerce in the city and gathering enough information, Lin Xiuyuan found a small alley, reverted to his original appearance, and wore a look of helplessness on his face.
The thing I had been vaguely worried about has indeed happened.
There aren't many top-tier talismans for sale in the entire Linan County, since the basic requirements are too strict, requiring a level of talisman mastery almost equivalent to that of a spirit talisman master to even begin to acquire them.
It is evident that those talisman masters who create top-tier talismans are all exceptional talents in this field, possessing skills comparable to spirit talisman masters. Naturally, they are the key targets for cultivation by various major forces, lacking no resources whatsoever, and can concentrate on their cultivation to break through the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible and become spirit talisman masters.
Furthermore, the second condition requires reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining to have sufficient magical power to support the refining process. Having reached this level, they are naturally on the path to breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, or achieving the thirteenth level, increasing their chances of laying a solid foundation for their Dao.
Currently, in the entire Linan Prefecture, only three large merchant guilds supply a fixed number of top-tier talismans for sale each month. Other large merchant guilds only offer one or two occasionally.
It is estimated that a major reason for this is not only the scarcity of top-tier talisman masters, resulting in a low success rate and extremely low production volume, but also that they are likely retained by various powerful factions specifically to supply their elite members.
This put Lin Xiuyuan in an awkward situation: his output was too high; he could refine a top-tier talisman in a single day...
Other top-tier talisman masters would need about two or three days to refine one, and the success rate couldn't be guaranteed. The success rate for creating top-tier talismans is estimated to be around 20%, or even less. As a result, the profits aren't substantial, so production naturally won't be very high.
Most of them are made by imitating spirit talismans, and they have special requirements for spirit materials. Just like the materials of spirit talismans, each material needs to be refined by special methods in order to withstand the infusion of huge magical power and thus be drawn into a talisman.
For various reasons, the success rate is not high, and it doesn't bring much profit, so naturally, people don't bother to refine top-tier talismans. Most of them are kept for their own use. Only when required by sects or aristocratic families will they produce a certain number of talismans.
A talisman master like Lin Xiuyuan, who possesses the profound mysteries of purple talismans, grasps the essence of talismans, simplifies complexities, and can easily create top-tier talismans, is one of a kind in the entire world.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Lin Xiuyuan cannot use too many talismans, otherwise it will attract attention.
Based on the current situation, only a few tickets can be sold each month, which is far from the expected surge in returns.
"Alright, let's put a pause on accumulating the purple light of the other talismans. Mastering the mysteries of three purple talismans is enough. With both offense and defense in place, even if the purple light of other high-level talismans overflows, the resulting improvement will be there, but not significant."
"If I don't pursue other talismans overflowing with purple light, then by maintaining a high-intensity talisman-making process, I can probably refine one more high-level talisman every two days. Adding the sales of a few top-level talismans each month, my monthly income can reach nearly 15,000..."
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan shook his head. Although there was some disappointment, the situation was still getting better.
Now that the Wood Talisman and Water Talisman are overflowing with purple light, they allow Lin Xiuyuan to temporarily slow down the accumulation of other talismans and master the mysteries of the three purple talismans. No matter how you look at it, it is enough.
Thus, the purple talisman possesses profound mysteries, capable of altering spiritual patterns, simplifying processes, and saving the crafting time of each wooden or golden sword talisman. It allows for maximum efficiency in crafting talismans, enabling the creation of approximately one more high-level talisman every two days.
