A faint blue light emanated from his body, like divine radiance, reflecting off Lin Xiuyuan's focused and handsome face, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly air.
However, his focused face was now furrowed with worry.
As he continued to cultivate, a look of pain appeared on his face.
Clearly visible, drops of crimson blood began to seep from the green robe. Before long, the blood had appeared on various parts of the body, staining the green robe in a strangely horrifying way.
The pain on his face grew more and more intense, lasting for more than an hour before the faint blue light faded.
Lin Xiuyuan's face was somewhat pale. He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. Feeling the increase in his magical power, a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"Indeed, just as expected, this Jade Condensation Pill is remarkably effective, with a medicinal power equivalent to one-third of that of the Spirit Flower Ginseng, and the refining speed is much faster."
"If this continues, we should be able to reach the sixth level within a few months."
"The injuries were a bit more severe than expected, but it's not a big problem. It just takes a little more time and consumes more pills. And it won't delay my talisman-making!"
Lin Xiuyuan went to the bathroom, changed into a clean blue robe, and then sat cross-legged on the bed again. He took out the Rejuvenation Pill to refine and recover from his injuries.
The Rejuvenation Pill is the best pill for treating injuries among the ninth-grade pills, and one pill costs fifty low-grade spirit stones.
This time, more than expected, one more has been consumed. Due to the strain on Lin Xiuyuan's meridians, some of the finer meridians have already shown signs of damage and breakage, spreading throughout his body.
It doesn't involve the main meridians, so although it seems serious, it's not a major problem. However, one pill probably won't be enough to fully cover the treatment, and it will require several more days.
Fortunately, it only caused a stinging sensation due to the strain on the meridians. The minor ruptures in the meridians did not affect the flow of magical power in the main channels; it was just a little painful but would not affect the creation of talismans.
After exchanging the Ningbi Pill for the main pills, Lin Xiuyuan stopped exchanging for the Spirit Flower Ginseng and decided to use his resources wisely.
Then supplement with high-level Qi Gathering Pills and Jade Spirit Pills.
With each passing day, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level made significant progress.
The talisman-making process remains stable, accumulating purple light and steadily increasing the success rate.
This made Lin Xiuyuan realize that his mastery of talismans had benefited from the wonders of the purple talismans, and that with each successful talisman-making, his understanding had improved significantly.
To put it bluntly, Lin Xiuyuan's current mastery of talismanic arts is comparable to that of a talismanic master who has been immersed in this art for decades.
After all, no one possesses such profound skills; a month's worth of finished talismans can equal two or three months' worth for a talisman master. The accumulated experience gained from continuously creating finished talismans naturally leads to a steady improvement in one's talisman-making skills.
As he continued his ascetic practice, time slowly passed once again.
There is still no news about Liao Yong.
This made Liao Cai'er depressed and gloomy all day long, but fortunately she turned it into motivation, and her martial arts realm steadily improved, continuously moving towards the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm.
At this time, having adopted the Azure Jade Pill as his primary cultivation elixir, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level was nearing a breakthrough after only two months and a few days.
This made Lin Xiuyuan beam with joy; all the pain and sweat he had endured had finally borne fruit.
"All that suffering wasn't for nothing! My magic power is overflowing so quickly!"
Looking back on the past two months, Lin Xiuyuan felt it was nothing short of torture.
Every day he had to endure a stinging sensation all over his body. The broken, tiny meridians made him feel indescribably uncomfortable, and every moment there was a wave of pain in every part of his body.
Now, the bitterness has finally turned into sweetness.
Immediately, Lin Xiuyuan sat down cross-legged, took out a Qi Gathering Pill and swallowed it, then slowly circulated his cultivation technique to begin his breakthrough.
The surrounding spiritual energy gathered and gradually emanated a faint blue light on Lin Xiuyuan's body.
...
…………
Several days later.
Lin Xiuyuan looked on with a hint of anticipation. He had now successfully broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining and was able to barely attempt to create high-level talismans.
Naturally, at his current level, refining such a talisman is somewhat difficult, as his magical power is insufficient to sustain it. Only upon reaching the late stage of Qi Refining can one calmly refine high-level talismans.
However, for Lin Xiuyuan, the wonders of the purple talisman were only for accumulating experience at the moment. As time passed and the success rate increased, he would prepare pills to restore his mana, and should be able to refine a high-level talisman in one go.
"I need more time to accumulate experience, give me more time! As long as I can consistently refine high-level talismans and equip them all, then I'll have the confidence to leave this place!"
Lin Xiuyuan went straight to the outer city market to buy materials for high-level talismans.
High-level talismans can be considered the strongest method in the Qi Refining stage. Apart from cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and possess top-tier spiritual artifacts, anyone who possesses a large number of high-level talismans can practically dominate this realm.
Lin Xiuyuan was extremely excited, waiting only to refine a high-level talisman, at which point all his current problems would be solved!
However, just as Lin Xiuyuan walked into a small alley...
A chilling killing intent instantly made his hair stand on end, his whole body tremble, as if he could smell death, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Before Lin Xiuyuan could react, a pure white light suddenly emanated from his arms, and a spirit shield flew out with a "whoosh" as it blocked the attack behind him.
"bite!"
The spirit sword slashed down, sparking a shower of sparks that dented the surface of the spirit shield and dimmed its pure white light, but it successfully withstood the attack.
"Huh?"
The person who launched the sneak attack seemed to have not expected that Lin Xiuyuan would have a high-level spirit shield.
