Three months later!
Lin Xiuyuan looked excitedly at the yellow talisman on the desk in front of him. The talisman's lines intertwined, shimmering with a faint, ever-changing light.
A surge of spiritual energy then spread out.
"It's done! Finally..."
After nearly twenty refinements, the accumulated purple light has already exceeded one-tenth of its original value.
But only now has Lin Xiuyuan managed to refine his first finished Wind Control Talisman.
The difficulty is incomparable to that of the Mighty Strength Talisman. No wonder everyone says the Mighty Strength Talisman is easy to craft and is the first choice for all talisman masters entering the ranks. With comparison, one understands that the experience of the predecessors was indeed the wisest.
Fortunately, I didn't become arrogant because of the initial appearance of the purple talisman, and I continued to progress steadily from shallow to deep. Otherwise, my progress would have been much slower.
"Well, let's sell this one. For now, it's just a short, safe trip. Accumulating purple light as quickly as possible is the best strategy. Once the first one is successfully refined, the second one shouldn't be far behind..."
Although the cost is similar to that of the Giant Strength Talisman, only one low-grade spirit stone more, the Wind Control Talisman is more difficult to refine and has no limitations. Even for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, it is a good way to speed up their progress.
Therefore, its value far exceeds that of the Giant Strength Talisman, and it can be sold for sixteen or seventeen low-grade spirit stones. For Lin Xiuyuan now, the more profit the better, as accumulating purple talismans requires a large amount of resources.
...
The market for independent practitioners was bustling with people coming and going in an endless stream.
Old Xu looked at Lin Xiuyuan's stall next to him, at the rows of talismans displayed, and said:
"You've only been working on the Great Strength Talisman for a short time, and you've already created the Wind Control Talisman?"
"Did you lie to me before? You're actually a genius in the art of talismans? But how come you hadn't even scratched the surface for so long before..."
The details were naturally not to be revealed, so Lin Xiuyuan went along with it and nodded, saying, "I only recently discovered that I actually have some talent. I was on the wrong path before. Now that I'm back on the right track, with the accumulation from before, I'm not far from entering the next level."
"I see. Alas, this is the difficulty for us independent cultivators. We can't compare to those scions of aristocratic families who have inheritances, guidance from renowned teachers, and resource allocation. We have to figure everything out on our own, and it's easy to go astray if we're not careful. Fortunately, you haven't been delayed for too long!"
After sighing for a moment, Old Xu looked at Lin Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "It seems that you will soon become a beginner-level talisman master. Don't forget about this old man when that happens!"
"It depends on luck. It might take several more years. There's an element of coincidence in the creation of this Wind Control Talisman."
Lin Xiuyuan said casually.
The stall mainly sells five Great Strength Talismans and one Wind Control Talisman.
Thus, displaying some of the demeanor of a novice talisman master, his stall was completely sold out in less than an hour. He had ample time each day to make talismans and to engage in his daily cultivation.
Lin Xiuyuan's current income is many times greater than before. On average, in recent months, after deducting all costs, he has basically earned a hundred low-grade spirit stones per month!
Because he had been consistently crafting three Mighty Strength Talismans per month for some time, the accumulated purple light and its profound enhancements had increased Lin Xiuyuan's success rate in crafting Mighty Strength Talismans to about 40-50%. Therefore, he no longer crafted ordinary talismans.
Especially in the last month, the main focus has been on refining the Giant Strength Talisman.
There are six hours each day for talisman making, allowing for eight talisman-making sessions. Seven sessions are used to create the Great Strength Talisman, and the remaining session is used to accumulate Wind Control Talismans.
If you only succeed two or three times out of seven attempts at crafting talismans, you'll lose a little money. But if you're lucky, you might succeed four or five times. Although it seems somewhat unstable, when you look at it over a month, after deducting all costs, you'll basically make a profit.
In the past month alone, I have already earned a monthly income of 100 spirit stones.
With this repeated support, the purple light of the Giant Strength Talisman surged upwards.
It has now reached one-half.
But by this point, the increased purple light had become very weak.
It is estimated that a very large quantity is still needed before the purple light is fully overflowing.
It seems that it gets harder as you go on!
I estimate it will require at least several hundred talismans...
"I wonder if the process of refining high-level talismans will be the same in the future..."
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan frowned.
It's understandable to accumulate so many low-level talismans, since they're easy to craft. But if you still need such a huge quantity when you reach the level of high-level talismans, that becomes a real headache.
After all, high-level materials are not easy to collect, and it would probably be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to accumulate purple light to this extent.
But now is not the time to consider these things. A thought flashed through his mind, and Lin Xiuyuan stroked his chin, muttering to himself:
"It seems I should reduce my cultivation time in the future. With the benefits gradually stabilizing, it's better to use the time to refine Wind Control Talismans. Once the purple light of the Wind Control Talismans accumulates, the benefits will be even greater!"
With the purple light accumulating to half its full potential, the success rate of refining the Giant Strength Talisman is already as high as 60% to 70%.
Recently, in seven attempts at refining, at least four or five finished products have been produced. On several days, six finished products were produced...
Even disregarding all costs, on average, one can now earn more than ten low-grade spirit stones a day.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan directly plans to reduce the original twice-daily practice sessions to once again.
Anyway, his spiritual roots are too poor, a mixture of the five elements, and each time he cultivates, he only increases his magical power by a tiny bit. At this rate, it will probably take another year or two before he can break through to the third level of Qi Refining.
It would be better to ensure the success rate of the Wind Control Talisman first. Then, not only can we start refining other talismans, but the profits can also be used to purchase elixirs for cultivation.
Thus, Lin Xiuyuan increased the time he spent making talismans each day to nine hours, which allowed him to refine about ten talismans. The first seven were used to make the Mighty Strength Talisman to stabilize the profits. The remaining three or four were used to increase the accumulation of Wind Control Talismans.
If we continue accumulating power like this, I estimate we can increase the success rate of the Wind Control Talisman to 20-30% next month!
