"I don't feel there's anything mysterious about it. It's just that the success rate is 100%."
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself in confusion, but felt that it couldn't be that simple.
Immediately, Lin Xiuyuan extended his divine sense towards the golden sword talisman that was constantly circling and swirling around the purple talisman, resembling a purple star.
The moment his divine sense touched the surface, he immediately sensed a series of messages entering Lin Xiuyuan's mind.
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and focused on sensing the surroundings.
Lin Xiuyuan quickly grasped the information and it gradually became clear.
"Is this the complete understanding of the Golden Sword Talisman?"
Lin Xiuyuan was slightly taken aback. He had refined so many golden sword talismans that his skill in talisman making was already quite high. Moreover, the purple light had been fully accumulated, and the success rate had reached 100%. As long as he wasn't in an abnormal state, he was guaranteed to succeed in making talismans.
A complete understanding alone doesn't seem to have much effect.
However, as Lin Xiuyuan pondered and gradually absorbed this information, he discovered that it was not as simple as he had thought.
This complete understanding points directly to the essence of the Golden Sword Talisman, and there is nothing mysterious about it.
Simply put, Lin Xiuyuan used to refine things only by following textbooks. He refined them the way others did, without understanding the function of each stroke.
All they knew was that doing so would create spiritual patterns, which would then intertwine to form runes, drawing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create talismans.
However, it is unknown how this spirit pattern was formed by drawing lines stroke by stroke, or how the runes were formed by the interweaving of several spirit patterns.
At this moment, with this complete understanding fully grasped, all the mysteries and everything about the Golden Sword Talisman were no longer secrets in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes; he had already seen through its essence.
He could even freely alter the outlines of the spirit runes to conserve mana and increase crafting efficiency. He could even add more spirit runes to enhance the Golden Sword Talisman.
"Such insight is indeed extraordinary. From this, one can create a more powerful golden sword talisman, perhaps even approaching the power of a top-tier spiritual weapon..."
"It can also increase my income, which is pretty good, but it feels like something is missing!"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head. He had thought something earth-shattering would happen, but although things weren't bad, there was still a sense of disappointment.
Just as Lin Xiuyuan was about to withdraw his divine sense and go back to rest, he suddenly paused, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
High in the sky above the sea of consciousness, the golden sword talisman, radiating purple light, began to exude a trace of power.
"Is this caused by divine sense...?"
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan could not help but infuse his divine sense into the distance.
Instantly, the golden sword talisman radiating purple light amplified its power even further.
Although it's still very subtle, it is indeed gradually getting stronger.
In the end, Lin Xiuyuan's face turned pale, his divine sense was almost completely depleted, and he could not fully activate it. It was as if he had used all his strength but could not even activate one-tenth of it.
But Lin Xiuyuan's face showed no disappointment. Instead, as he continued to speculate, a strong sense of excitement appeared on his face.
Since there was no spiritual energy in his sea of consciousness, and he was in the Qi Refining stage with weak spiritual power, it was perfectly normal that he could not activate it.
"But, if one opens up a space within one's sea of consciousness in the future, and one's divine sense becomes powerful enough to freely manipulate spiritual energy, wouldn't that mean one could create talismans out of thin air? That would be quite astonishing!"
As Lin Xiuyuan continued to speculate, he grew increasingly excited.
This idea is just too tempting. In the blink of an eye, a talisman can be created and generate immense combat power.
However, Lin Xiuyuan quickly calmed his excitement and the swirling thoughts in his mind.
To reach that level, one would probably need to be at least at the Golden Core stage, and perhaps even reach the Nascent Soul stage, after condensing a divine soul...
That's still too far off now.
Whether Lin Xiuyuan can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is still uncertain.
The most important thing is to find a solution to erysipelas.
Otherwise, there would be no future to speak of...
...
Two years later.
With less than a few months left until the Class B auction, it has already attracted the attention of the entire Chang Kingdom and even the cultivation world of neighboring countries.
Lin Xiuyuan, in the nearly five years that followed, relied on a large amount of resources and pills to successfully break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!
"I can still rely on resources and pills to continue improving my cultivation, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining. A large amount of pill toxins and impurities are stored in my body and in my dantian spiritual power. I simply cannot condense my magic power and break through to the tenth level of Qi Refining."
"Hopefully, this auction will reveal a suitable method for me to treat erysipelas!"
Lin Xiuyuan was filled with anticipation, almost counting down the days to come.
Two months before the Linan County auction, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't wait to set off from Anan City.
This once-a-decade auction attracts countless cultivators.
If you arrive late, it's uncertain whether you'll even find a place to stay. It's also crucial to secure your participation in the auction beforehand; otherwise, you'll regret it if you can't get in.
Qin Suwan also wanted to see what was going on, so she went with Lin Xiuyuan.
As for Huo Yun, she had no interest in it and, being quiet and indifferent by nature, stayed in the shop to look after things.
