Chapter 65: A Touch of Heartache and Regret



This fourth round of battle lasted for several hours.

Lin Xiuyuan only managed to win the battle when his magical power was almost exhausted.

Even Huo Yun made an appearance; the only thing missing was activating the Black Flame Eye, this ancient treasure passed down through generations…

The talismans used—fire dragon talismans, wood magic talismans, and black armor talismans—totaled nearly one hundred and fifty in total, before they could barely defeat this powerful enemy!

Seeing that he had successfully defeated his opponent, Lin Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a sense of regret arose in his heart.

If they had practiced the sword techniques and attack spells in the Scripture Pavilion earlier, this battle might not have been too difficult, and they wouldn't have had to throw out so many spirit talismans.

Faced with a prodigy whose cultivation surpassed his own, whose magical artifacts were unique and sharp, and who possessed powerful inherited true techniques, even the Fire Dragon Talisman offered little advantage. He only managed to suppress his opponent and win the competition by sheer numbers and the assistance of Huo Yun!

Basically, it's all about using spirit stones to smash things...

This person has already reached the level of being among the most outstanding talents in the same realm.

As long as I don't encounter a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert, securing a spot shouldn't be a problem.

No wonder it took Lin Xiuyuan so much effort.

Such a large number of spirit talismans are usually seen in power struggles between sects and aristocratic families...

Lin Xiuyuan mobilized so much all by himself, which is basically unique.

Because other talisman masters, even if they are willing to prepare, usually only have a few dozen talismans on hand. After all, the production cycle of talismans is long and the success rate cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible for them to hoard a large number of talismans to protect themselves. A few dozen talismans are enough.

A spirit talisman master is essentially just a spiritual profession, relying on spirit talismans to acquire resources and improve their cultivation. Their primary method of combat still relies on their own cultivation and Daoist secret techniques; spirit talismans are merely secondary. At most, they use a few more spirit talismans as aids compared to other cultivators.

After all, not everyone is like Lin Xiuyuan, possessing the wonders of purple talismans and having an incredible success rate in talisman making. Once the purple light is overflowing, the success rate is 100%, which is why he can always prepare a large number of talismans to carry with him.

That is why, with the wonder of the purple talisman, only he could use the talisman as his primary means of communication.

However, the number of spirit talismans consumed in dealing with such an enemy far exceeded Lin Xiuyuan's expectations.

Besides feeling sorry for her, a sense of regret for what she did also arose.

Originally, I thought I could cultivate peacefully in the Cloud Soaring Sect, so I didn't consider cultivating offensive spells and secret techniques. I planned to cultivate the core formation after entering the main branch.

Unexpectedly, he provoked a series of enemies, forcing Lin Xiuyuan to change his plans and quickly enter the main branch, leaving no time for leisurely cultivation.

Otherwise, if Lin Xiuyuan had been able to advance further in his cultivation, he wouldn't have struggled so much against this person, needing to use so many spirit talismans to win.

Currently, we are lagging behind in all aspects. In terms of cultivation, we are inferior, by more than half a minor realm. In terms of magical artifacts, we are even further behind. As for Taoist techniques and secret arts, we are at an absolute disadvantage.

If it weren't for the wonder of the Purple Talisman, which allowed him to prepare a large number of talismans for himself, he wouldn't have been able to win even with the help of the spirit beast Huo Yun.

"Fortunately, there's only one round of battle left, and we still have the Black Flame Eye as a trump card. As long as we're not too unlucky and encounter those late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, entering the main branch shouldn't be a problem."

Lin Xiuyuan thought to himself, trying to comfort himself.

As Lin Xiuyuan stepped off the stage, he immediately sensed something different. The gazes he received from all around him carried a mixture of surprise and goodwill, and in some cases, even a strong sense of apprehension...

...

"So many spirit talismans! This person... could it be that he hasn't sold any spirit talismans, but instead uses them to exchange for resources for cultivation? How did his cultivation level increase...?"

"There really is a fire python. It looks like it's close to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. Who knows when it will become a mid-Foundation Establishment level spirit beast? It's terrifying!!"

"Where did he obtain such a spirit beast? Is it something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could possess? There are probably only a handful of people in the entire world who could possess such a spirit beast. The Fire Python clan is a powerful clan in the Demon Realm!"

"Fortunately, it seems he only has a large number of spirit talismans. His other spells are quite ordinary. From beginning to end, he only used a rather unremarkable sword technique and a spirit armor technique? I guess that's why he hoarded a large number of spirit talismans, using them as his main means?"

"So it seems that besides having a lot of talismans, he doesn't have anything special! Well, there's also that fire python, and that ancient treasure passed down through generations... cough cough, if we look at it this way, with such abilities, he will naturally be able to make up for his shortcomings when he enters the main lineage to cultivate the core true methods in the future."

"At that time... he will surely join the ranks of the main lineage's prodigies?"

"Even if this person's character is questionable, his extraordinary abilities are undeniable. We can only say that Heaven is blind..."

The intensity of Lin Xiuyuan's battle shocked everyone.

Most importantly, so many spirit talismans were activated in this battle; it seemed like the entire battle was basically dominated by the explosion of spirit talismans...

This is astonishing! So many talismans, such a huge sum of money... I wonder how long they've been hoarding them?

While initially astonished, many began to feel contempt for him.

It seems that Lin Xiuyuan is relying entirely on talismans, right?

Besides, his cultivation level was ordinary, and his Taoist techniques and secret arts were practically nonexistent...

They practically won the battle using spirit stones... In an instant, countless people felt a surge of regret, thinking, "So much spirit stones, just like that, gone?"
