Several months later.
Looking at the only finished product in front of him, the 'Splitting Light Talisman', Lin Xiuyuan smiled bitterly. "Indeed, my talent... is truly indescribable!"
The talismans, radiating purple light, brought many profound insights, but when faced with higher-level talismans, they were still completely lost.
"Fortunately, I didn't covet the power of the Xue family's secret talisman, but instead focused on securing the foundation and refining the Lingxiao secret talisman! Otherwise, I don't know how much waste it would have caused."
"Let's accumulate slowly now. With the support of resources, it's just a matter of time."
"However, this is too slow. I need to go to the Trial Tower to verify each other's skills and slowly cultivate this level of runes to accelerate my transformation into a mid-level spirit rune master. After that, I also need to accumulate Xue family secret runes!"
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan no longer intended to stick to refining the 'Splitting Light Talisman' as he had before. Instead, he planned to refine other talismans as well, and then use them together in the Trial Tower for verification and comprehension.
Now that he has broken through to the Purple Mansion stage, although his mastery of talismanic arts is at a new level, he has a foundation. If he goes to the Trial Tower, he can slowly verify each other's abilities and accelerate the improvement of his mastery of talismanic arts, just like before.
Lin Xiuyuan continued refining talismans, but stopped when his magical power and divine sense were too depleted, and began to cultivate.
Maintaining a consistent routine, just as in the past, I continuously improve myself, daring not to slacken in the slightest!
With the current resource allocation, there is no shortage of various rare and precious materials and top-grade pills. In addition, being in the Spirit Spring Cave, one can always maintain a state of extreme cultivation.
The increase in magical power is insignificant compared to the vast 'sea of qi'.
But Lin Xiuyuan was already extremely satisfied with this.
However, the magical power of the Purple Mansion stage is too vast, transforming into a 'sea of dantian', so it is impossible to see much improvement in a short period of cultivation.
Without such an environment, even with his aptitude, he might not be able to fully unleash his magical power within a hundred years.
This is because of the wonder of the purple talisman, which may make him less lacking in cultivation resources. If it were an ordinary disciple or a rogue cultivator from the outside world, it would take at least a hundred years to break through a minor realm.
Now, within sixty years, there is hope of reaching the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, which is naturally beyond our expectations.
Time stands still in the mountains; one cultivates oneself in the secluded valleys. Time flies by like flowing water, and before one knows it, the world has changed beyond recognition!
These words best express the meaning.
The higher the level you reach, the more likely it is that taking even a small step forward could be the equivalent of a lifetime for someone else!
The days of seclusion began to slowly pass again as he made talismans and practiced cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
Another year has passed.
All in all, it's been almost eight years.
On this day, Lin Xiuyuan awoke from his meditation, picked up the jade tablet, manipulated the restriction, and walked to a corner.
After the array barrier dissipated, Lin Xiuyuan went to look around.
On several spirit leaves, a few white caterpillars with a hint of blue crawled and kept eating the leaves.
Several of the spirit leaves had already been eaten away, leaving them pitted and uneven...
The three blue butterflies remained as before, hanging quietly on the wall, seemingly emanating their inner light.
Lin Xiuyuan observed them for a while, but he couldn't see the specifics. He would have to wait a year or two until they transformed into butterflies before he could observe the specifics.
However, Jian Qiong had mentioned it briefly on the jade slip she left for him.
Newly hatched larvae have a bluish tinge, indicating they have a better bloodline.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Lin Xiuyuan had always been quite attentive to cultivating the Blue Illusion Butterfly, since once it was fully formed, it could play a significant role in assisting in battle.
However, due to a lack of resources in the past, we haven't spent much effort on them, only providing them with a small amount of resources.
Furthermore, since he was not a beast tamer, even though almost a hundred years had passed, the three-headed blue illusion butterfly's growth was still very slow, and it was still in the Qi Refining stage.
Next, if their bloodlines are excellent, and with ample resources and a supportive environment, these exceptional talents will surely be able to cultivate them to the Foundation Establishment stage, and hopefully even reach the Purple Mansion stage in the future!
After observing for a while, Lin Xiuyuan walked towards the stone gate.
First time leaving customs.
Of course, if the resources of the three spirit beasts hadn't been almost exhausted, Lin Xiuyuan wouldn't have emerged from seclusion so quickly.
I feel my mastery of talismans is still insufficient; it would be better to continue refining it.
After all, it's the fifth level of the Trial Tower. Having a foundation means you're qualified to verify each other's abilities, but it's not something anyone with any level of talismanic skill can just try to comprehend.
If it weren't for the wonder of the purple talisman, I'm afraid I would never have been able to step into the fifth level of the Spirit Vein Trial Tower, no... I'm afraid even the fourth level would have been difficult.
However, it's good to go along with it; you can gain some insights anyway, though the extent of the help may vary.
After leaving the Spirit Spring Cave, Lin Xiuyuan headed straight for the main peak.
Use the available credit to store up a large amount of the resources needed for the three spirit beasts.
The quota has remained untouched for six years, accumulating to a total of 120,000 contribution points!
It was filled with several Qiankun bags...
All the resources he needed were contained in a magic bag...
"This is wonderful! Choosing to join the sect was definitely the right decision. Becoming a core disciple means receiving a huge boost in resources! From now on, I basically won't have to worry about resources at all!!"
Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh again.
If one were still cultivating as a rogue cultivator, whether or not one could even touch the threshold of breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage is another matter entirely.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Now that they have enjoyed such preferential treatment in resources, they will naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities of the sect in the future.
However, this is normal. A sect is a huge gathering place for interests, and everyone in it is a related interest group.
Everyone enjoys this benefit and contributes their own abilities.
However, depending on their position, the benefits they receive and the responsibilities they bear vary greatly.
Ordinary disciples, who become guardians of mines, enclaves, or medicinal gardens, or simply miners or spirit plant masters, need to give up their time and personal combat strength or skills in exchange for a cultivation environment and corresponding resources, such as cultivation techniques, spirit stones, and pills.
As a core disciple, he naturally enjoys greater benefits and bears greater responsibilities.
They will essentially become the protectors and fighters of this enormous interest in the future.
With great power comes great responsibility, and correspondingly, the benefits one can enjoy are also great.
Lin Xiuyuan was naturally aware of this, and he believed that every cultivator who entered the sect understood this as well.
