Main peak.
Lingxiao Pavilion.
Lin Xiuyuan showed his Lingxiao disciple token, registered, and then walked in with a bit of anticipation.
The Lingxiao Pavilion gathers nearly ten thousand years of talisman master heritage from the sect, with various refining techniques, experience, and knowledge filling the entire three-story pavilion.
For a self-taught cultivator like Lin Xiuyuan, who entered the field halfway through his cultivation journey, this inheritance accumulated over nearly ten thousand years is undoubtedly extremely valuable.
If Lin Xiuyuan hadn't been a newcomer and eager to improve his abilities after settling in, he would have already rushed to Lingxiao Pavilion.
However, such a precious place naturally requires contributions.
As a newly recruited disciple, Lin Xiuyuan can stay inside for fifteen days. After that, he will need thirty contribution points per day!
Other pavilions like Xuanxiao Pavilion and Yunxiao Pavilion are also accessible, but non-disciples of the main lineage need to spend 50 contribution points per day. This is probably to prevent main peak disciples from trying to do too much at once and hindering their own cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan cherished his time and went straight up the stairs to the second floor after entering the Lingxiao Pavilion.
The jade slips on this layer are almost entirely filled with methods for making talismans, various techniques, and talismanic restrictions. They contain both lessons learned and knowledge passed down through generations.
He didn't look at the secret symbols first, because that was the biggest weakness that Lin Xiuyuan, a self-taught person, lacked.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Lin Xiuyuan immediately began reading through the talisman-making techniques.
Lin Xiuyuan has always used the basic refining method, the three-stage talisman-making method that is widely circulated outside. It is a skill that allows talisman masters to better master and refine talismans corresponding to their current level, but it is not very efficient.
Lin Xiuyuan now feels that his mastery of talismanic arts is not low, but he is lacking in talisman-making methods and experience.
Although he possessed the wonders of the purple talisman, Lin Xiuyuan passively received them. He only had an extraordinary understanding of specific talismans and grasped their essence. The benefits he gained were limited to the mysteries of the talismans.
Therefore, even though Lin Xiuyuan's two talismans were overflowing with purple light, he was still unable to make ends meet. There were many reasons related to efficiency. Finding a better and more efficient method of making talismans would undoubtedly improve the situation.
The benefit of the overflowing purple light was that it allowed him to grasp the essence and mysteries of the art, thereby greatly increasing his efficiency and success rate, which led to a sudden doubling of his income. If he could master even more refined talisman-making techniques, he could naturally further improve his efficiency.
Not to mention his experience in other areas, which is extremely lacking. While he is not completely clueless, he is certainly not up to par with his level of talismanic cultivation!
It's completely mismatched with the level of a spirit talisman master; it's even a stretch compared to a mid-level talisman master.
Now that he has arrived at such a treasure land, Lin Xiuyuan is naturally full of excitement. However, there is a time limit, and he will need contribution points afterward. He doesn't have any contribution points right now, so he can only make the most of the time.
"The Nine Basic Methods of Talisman Making?"
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan picked up the first jade slip and saw the name, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately extended his divine sense to examine it.
As time passed, a look of surprise appeared on Lin Xiuyuan's face.
"The method of dividing symbols!"
"The Method of Reciting Incantations and Creating Talismans for the Bright and Dark Realms!"
"Seven-pattern talisman crafting..."
After reading through the jade slip, Lin Xiuyuan found that these nine methods of talisman making were all widely circulated in the cultivation world.
Having been verified and passed down for countless years, it can be regarded as the cornerstone of talisman masters.
I had heard of the method of refining talismans back then and longed for it, but now it seems nothing special.
It is just a basic method of talisman making. Compared with the three-layer structure method, it has improved the skill and efficiency, and is more suitable for mid-to-high-level talisman masters with their abundant magical power to make corresponding talismans.
In other aspects, among the nine basic methods of talisman making, it only belongs to the middle level.
Lin Xiuyuan carefully perused the books, memorizing them, but he did not intend to choose one to study for the time being, and planned to continue perusing them.
This bookshelf seems to be full of information about talisman-making techniques, so Lin Xiuyuan decided to see if there were any more suitable ones.
However, Lin Xiuyuan had some doubts in his heart for a moment.
As Lin Xiuyuan continued to examine the jade slip, his doubts inevitably deepened.
"Are there really so many methods for making talismans?"
However, as time went by, Lin Xiuyuan picked up and put down as many as twenty or thirty jade slips. After a brief moment of thought, he found the answer to his question.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't need to flip through the next layer; he knew that at least half of it contained various methods of talisman making.
Because most jade slips are said to have been left by an elder or deacon of the Lingxiao lineage of a certain generation...
The reason there are so many is that each talisman master uses a different method of talisman making.
This seems strange because there are only nine basic methods of making talismans.
But the reason why so many variations have been developed is that each talisman master, upon reaching a higher level, will modify the basic talisman-making method based on their own understanding.
Having perused so many jade slips, Lin Xiuyuan, despite his limited mastery of talismanic arts, possessed a profound understanding derived from the purple talisman. It was not difficult for him to discern that the talisman-making methods on many of the jade slips shared the same origin as the nine basic talisman-making techniques.
However, they have all undergone changes and have a very obvious personal touch, which has also led to the formation of many branches.
Because each talisman master's creations are unique, and each talisman master's spiritual roots are also different.
Just like the initial success rate of everyone entering the path of talismans, it was only around 20% to 30%.
However, as you refine more and more, and your proficiency increases, the success rate will gradually improve. Over the years, you might be able to raise the success rate to 40% or 50%, or even 60% or 70%.
