"I hope we can break through successfully!"
After Lin Xiuyuan murmured something, he slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and placed three jade bottles in front of him.
He was slowly adjusting his breathing, preparing to break through.
As expected, the market became increasingly chaotic over time.
The situation was dire, and Old Ancestor Jiang had yet to appear, while not a single reinforcement could be seen.
As a result, the attacks of the two major demonic sects intensified, and a large number of elite cultivators from the Golden Sea Sect were transferred to them. After all, although they were protected by a powerful formation, they could not allow the demonic sect cultivators to break through the formation with impunity. They could only organize attacks from time to time to harass the two major demonic sects in their attempts to break through the formation.
However, it is conceivable that with the addition of the Hehuan Sect, the difference in combat strength between the two sides became extremely large, and the Jin Hai Sect suffered heavy losses time and time again, which was entirely due to the lives of the cultivators being used to buy time.
It always gives people the feeling that two major demonic sects might attack at any moment.
This gives an idea of the situation inside the market.
Recently, there have been more and more fights and bloodshed, and some cultivators have even set their sights on talisman masters who have left the talisman-making field. Although talisman masters usually carry a large number of talismans with them and are powerful in combat, they are still no match for a group of people when they are alone.
Therefore, even though Lin Xiuyuan feels that it is still a little short of being perfected, he does not want to wait any longer.
In this oppressive situation, Lin Xiuyuan could only try to enhance his own combat strength as quickly as possible to increase his sense of security.
This also improves the efficiency of talisman making.
Now I'm only 20 contribution points away from exchanging for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If I can successfully break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and increase my mana, I can make one more high-level talisman every day.
So it should take about a month to reach that goal!
"Although it doesn't feel quite perfect, I can still try to break through. And given the preparations I've made, I'm quite confident."
Lin Xiuyuan slowly opened his eyes and reached out to pick up a jade bottle placed in front of him.
The jade bottle contains a branch of the Azure Wood Spirit Tree, which is a seventh-grade spiritual material. It is extremely expensive. Even a small section of the branch, about the length of a hand, would cost nearly two thousand spirit stones.
Its main function is to protect the dantian, reduce the impact of restless spiritual energy, and generate some wood essence to strengthen the meridians and increase the success rate of breakthroughs.
It is the best auxiliary spiritual item for breaking through the Qi Refining stage.
The other two jade bottles contain two different items. One contains a Rejuvenation Pill to prevent failure during the breakthrough and to stabilize injuries immediately in conjunction with the Azure Wood Spirit Branch. The other bottle contains an Eighth-Rank Initial-Stage Spirit Gathering Pill, a pill that rapidly restores mana, generating a large amount of pure spiritual energy in a short time to prevent insufficient mana during the breakthrough.
With such preparations, Lin Xiuyuan felt that his chances of breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining were extremely high.
He held the Azure Wood Spirit Branch in both hands and slowly channeled his magic power to refine it.
A faint blue light emanated from its body, reflecting the wisps of sunset glow, creating a rather mystical effect.
...
…………
One month later!
Lin Xiuyuan put down his talisman brush, looked at the finished golden sword talisman in front of him, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"It's done!"
Once this talisman was completed, it immediately generated one hundred contribution points.
After Lin Xiuyuan successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, his mana increased exponentially, and his efficiency in refining high-level talismans improved. As expected, he accumulated enough contribution points in about a month.
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan was incredibly excited.
This is a Foundation Establishment Pill!
I never expected it to be so close.
This is the situation in Beihefang City.
Otherwise, given Lin Xiuyuan's current level, it would be wishful thinking to try and obtain it.
In the outside world, such things are extremely rare and hard to come by.
To obtain one's place, one must either possess extraordinary strength and talent to enter a celestial sect, or be from a major sect, where one must compete with tens of thousands of others for a limited number of spots each year.
Either they have the financial resources to wait in line at auction houses to bid.
This shows just how excited Lin Xiuyuan was at that moment.
Lin Xiuyuan took two deep breaths to suppress his excitement.
After a moment, Lin Xiuyuan regained his composure and continued making talismans without making a sound.
Around noon, Lin Xiuyuan and the others had mostly left. After looking around, he quietly went to the back to find Supervisor Huang, handing over the golden sword talisman he had made that morning for registration and to earn contribution points.
Including this one, a total of ten registrations have been completed, which can be exchanged for one contribution point.
After Huang Pengcai registered, he handed a specially made secret order to Lin Xiuyuan, which represented a small contribution.
At this moment, he suddenly said, "Upon closer inspection, it seems that Master Lin has already accumulated one hundred contribution points?"
"Manager Huang has a photographic memory, Si Rui is quick-witted."
Lin Xiuyuan flattered, saying that he had no intention of hiding anything. Huang Peng was just doing the registration work, so how could he hide it from him?
"This is nothing. Any cultivator has a photographic memory." Huang Peng waved his hand and then exclaimed in admiration, "Master Lin, you are truly a hidden talent. I never expected that you would be the first person to accumulate one hundred contribution points in several talisman-making fields. You should know that there are quite a few high-level talisman masters at the Great Perfection stage among them!"
"Moreover, most of the high-level talismans that Master Lin registered before were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It was one thing to create talismans beyond one's level, but now he has surpassed a group of senior high-level talisman masters!"
"Master Lin, you are truly a genius in the art of talismans. You have obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill with ease. Perhaps when we meet again in the future, I will have to call you senior."
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head. "Manager Huang thinks too highly of me. It's too early to talk about the difficulty of laying the foundation for one's path. There are still many hurdles ahead. As for whether we can achieve perfection, that remains to be seen!"
