Qin Suwan emerged from the dimly lit stairwell, looking coldly at Lin Xiuyuan, and calmly said:
"Master Lin, I have no intention of forming a Daoist partnership with anyone at the moment. My only goal right now is to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly; he shared the same thought, and that was for the best.
"Iā¦ā¦"
However, just as Lin Xiuyuan was about to say something...
Qin Suwan's expression grew even colder, thinking that Lin Xiuyuan was still trying to salvage the relationship.
She had encountered countless similar situations before, with these men who were only interested in her looks!
He immediately interrupted her, saying:
"You don't need to say anything more, and you don't need to try to please my father. It's useless!"
"There's no need to flatter myself. I won't consider forming a Daoist partnership until I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage."
"That's it. Stop trying to please my father and appearing in front of me. It will only increase my disgust."
After saying that, Qin Suwan turned and left.
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, feeling somewhat helpless as he realized she seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, that's enough for this matter.
Lin Xiuyuan turned around and pushed the door open to enter.
Upon discovering Liao Cai'er in the living room, he slowly sheathed his sword and stood there.
On the dining table were several plates of food that had long since gone cold.
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback, then slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten to send a message to Liao Cai'er.
"You're back! Why are you so late today? Did something happen?"
Liao Cai'er glanced at Lin Xiuyuan and, seeing that he was alright, breathed a slight sigh of relief, but a hint of worry remained in her eyes.
She was really frightened by what happened last time.
Aside from what happened last time, Lin Xiuyuan rarely comes home this late.
"It's nothing, I'll tell you later. I'll go heat up the food."
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, then walked to the dining table and used his magic to reheat all the food.
After the two sat down at the table and started eating, Lin Xiuyuan said while picking up some food:
"I didn't go to the talisman-making workshop today, but went to Hongfulou with Elder Qin. It's our neighbor, I don't think you've seen them before?"
"I've met you. We've bumped into each other a few times when I'm out and about," Liao Cai'er nodded.
Lin Xiuyuan said, "Well, you should know that he has a daughter. He called me over to Hongfu Restaurant today because he wanted to set me up with his daughter..."
Liao Cai'er paused, almost dropping the piece of meat she was picking up with her chopsticks. She steadied herself, scooped some food into her rice bowl, and forced a smile, saying:
"And then? I've heard of Elder Qin's daughter, but I've never actually seen her. What does she look like? I heard she's a cultivator?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "It's alright, quite good-looking. It's just that the other party doesn't seem interested, and naturally I won't have any such thoughts. Foundation Establishment is more important right now. Matters of romance are not something I'm considering at the moment."
"After all, cough cough... I've heard that if one has sufficient primordial yang energy during the foundation-building stage, it increases the chances of success."
Liao Cai'er thought for a moment before realizing what Ling Xiuyuan was talking about. Her face flushed slightly, and she glared at him.
Lin Xiuyuan smiled and chatted with Liao Cai'er for a while before putting down his chopsticks, standing up and saying, "I'm going to make talismans now. Hmm, I think I'll be spending a lot of time in the talisman-making field during this period, trying to accumulate some contribution points to see if I can exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills!"
"Okay, good luck then. Foundation Establishment Pills are hard to come by, it would be best if you could get them!" Liao Cai'er nodded and said encouragingly.
Lin Xiuyuan walked to the talisman-making platform and took out the materials for refining the Earth Element Talisman.
The Earth Magic Talisman is one of the five elements of high-level talismans, possessing some of the wonders of earth-é (earth-é is a type of magic or technique).
The Lesser Five Elements Talisman is derived from the Five Elements Spirit Talisman and possesses considerable power.
Aside from the Golden Sword Talisman, Lin Xiuyuan was constantly refining Lesser Five Elements Talismans, which were both offensive and defensive, and had many wonderful uses.
However, it is still in the accumulation process, and it will take some time before it can be successfully refined.
The crafting time for high-level talismans is not long. In addition to the complexity of the spirit patterns and the lengthy drawing process, it also requires more magical power.
Crafting a single high-level talisman nearly depleted the mana in Lin Xiuyuan's dantian. He could only craft about two or three talismans a day.
It can only be accumulated slowly, and it is estimated that it will take two or three months to initially achieve a certain success rate.
It will take about two or three hours to refine this talisman, after which it will be Lin Xiuyuan's time to cultivate.
With the help of a large number of pills, Lin Xiuyuan estimated that it would only take one or two months to reach the sixth level of perfection.
"It seems it's time to prepare something for my breakthrough."
Lin Xiuyuan stroked his chin, estimating that he would be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining within this year.
Although it still needs some refinement to reach perfection, which will take several months, the city of Beihe is currently surrounded, like an isolated city. To avoid resource shortages, we still need to make preparations in advance.
Breaking through the seventh level of Qi Refining is almost the most difficult bottleneck in the entire Qi Refining period. It is the last time the dantian is opened and expanded, and it is quite dangerous.
Given his aptitude, this is even more difficult, and the preparation of the necessary items for his breakthrough is indispensable.
