Since the Trial Tower route was temporarily blocked, Lin Xiuyuan later went to the Talisman Summoning Hall to accept a mission.
The summoning missions at the main peak are somewhat different, but the difference is that they tend to be more favorable.
In terms of both the methods and resources for acquiring contribution points, the improvements have almost doubled.
Within Mount Jiuxiao, completing basic summoning quests will earn you one contribution point, while on the main peak you will receive an extra point, and the spirit stone reward will be increased by half.
Within the main peak, the value of a single contribution point is comparable to that of a hundred low-grade spirit stones!
This is the level of resource allocation to the main peak disciples!
The main lineage serves as the core training sequence, with substantial resources allocated to it. Through a combination of nurturing and tempering, it cultivates the future pillars and backbone of the sect!
That's why the competition for the main peak is so fierce! After all, the sect's resources are limited, so it can only weed out the weak and promote the strong; those who aren't good enough are sent down, and fresh blood is brought in from Nine Heavens Mountain...
It's held once every thirty years, with a major competition every ten years, constantly supplemented, and a minor competition every three years—a continuous battle!
Anyone who comes to the main peak will do everything they can to stay.
It all boils down to the word "resources".
Staying atop the main peak is a path of brilliance, not to mention that acquiring resources is relatively easy and has a very high potential!
However, for Lin Xiuyuan at the moment, the only resources he can obtain are through the summoning missions issued by the Deacon Hall, and even those are just simple summoning missions!
The mission that required him to leave the sect was not only unsuitable for him, but also because he might encounter hidden dangers. After all, he had just entered the main peak and was at the peak of his progress. Whether it was spirit runes or the cultivation of secret talisman techniques, he was in a period of rapid advancement.
Therefore, for now, I can only stay on the main peak and accept some simple basic tasks or deliver talismans.
There are some simple garrison duties, such as going to a merchant guild under a sect to make talismans, or transporting supplies, and acting as a guard.
This kind of task is quite suitable. It allows him to travel back and forth without interfering too much with Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation on the main peak. At least he can attend the Daoist teachings every month and spend a few days each month entering the Lingxiao Pavilion.
However, it would be somewhat troublesome, and there might not be enough time, so Lin Xiuyuan didn't consider it for the time being. He would wait until the progress of improvement was slower before considering it.
Now that we are in a period of rapid self-improvement and have pressure on our shoulders, we naturally cannot afford to waste time.
"In that case, if I take on a task to deliver a talisman every month, the value of the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman can be estimated at around 45 contribution points. With the main peak's resource allocation, the extra contribution points should be around 50. Then, if I complete some simple talisman summoning in my spare time, I can probably earn nearly 60 contribution points per month."
Thinking about it this way, Lin Xiuyuan felt it was alright.
If one can earn 60 contribution points, then in two or three months one can exchange them for the crafting of secret talismans, and then one can enter the Lingxiao Pavilion for a few days of cultivation each month, which is not bad.
He still has the foundation of the Eight Profound Spiritual Patterns to build, as well as the cultivation of low-grade Five Elements Eight Trigrams Runes, so he is not in a hurry to enter the Lingxiao Pavilion or exchange for secret runes.
At this rate, their contribution points are being earned at a speed that is almost comparable to, or even slightly surpasses, that of the veteran Lingxiao disciples.
The main reason is that the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman has special effects, making it much more valuable than ordinary low-grade spirit talismans.
It's a bit of a shame that I can't contribute more; otherwise, I would get even more contribution points each month.
Although Lin Xiuyuan's talisman-making efficiency has improved again, the number of finished spirit talismans he produces each month has reached as high as four.
But he couldn't deliver any more!
Because the process of making spirit talismans is complicated and the difficulty has increased. An ordinary spirit talisman master can only make one and a half a month, and three in two months... Nowadays, most Lingxiao disciples only have that many!
He was able to produce such a large quantity entirely thanks to the wonder of the purple talisman...
Naturally, it would be a bit suspicious if he, as a newly recruited disciple, submitted two papers every month.
Only a few senior Lingxiao disciples typically submit two talismans. Because they cultivate on the main peak, receive guidance from renowned masters, and are nurtured by the traditions of talisman making, their efficiency and proficiency naturally increase with the years of accumulated experience in talisman making, leading to a higher success rate.
Therefore, it's best for Lin Xiuyuan to deliver one talisman per month to complete the summoning mission, and occasionally two.
Only when he gradually becomes a senior Lingxiao disciple can he hand over more tasks in order to gain more contribution points.
"Although these contribution points are barely enough to support cultivation, they can be saved for occasional visits to the Lingxiao Pavilion to improve oneself and for exchanging for Lingxiao Secret Talismans. Let's build a solid foundation first. When we can go to the Trial Tower and participate in the small and large competitions, that's when we can exchange for resources and further increase our cultivation speed."
After thinking it over, Lin Xiuyuan felt that this approach was appropriate.
As soon as Lin Xiuyuan returned to his cave, he saw a cultivator standing in front of the door, seemingly waiting for him.
Wearing a purple robe, he looked like a disciple of the Lingxiao lineage.
Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the other person. He looked very young, with a slightly plump figure and fair, tender skin.
His appearance looked somewhat familiar; it seemed he was a disciple who had previously attended classes with Yu Lingxiao Dojo.
But why would they appear in front of the cave?
Could it be those two families again?
Lin Xiuyuan's expression hardened slightly as he slowly rode forward in his escape light.
"Senior brother, why are you standing in front of my cave? Are you perhaps waiting for me?"
"Haha, that's right. I've been waiting for quite a while. I thought Junior Brother Lin had returned early this morning, so I rushed over to send a message to the cave's array, but there was no response for a long time. Fortunately, I figured Junior Brother Lin might be busy with something and hadn't returned from the main peak yet!"
"Looking at it now, it's true. I almost missed Junior Brother Lin."
Upon seeing Lin Xiuyuan arrive, he quickly greeted him with a broad smile. His chubby, adorable appearance made him seem very friendly and amiable.
Lin Xiuyuan remained unmoved, looking at him calmly throughout.
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's somewhat wary look, he seemed to realize something. He had been there earlier and naturally understood the reason for Lin Xiuyuan's wariness.
He immediately introduced himself: "Junior Brother Lin, don't misunderstand. I'm not with those people from before. My name is Ge Liangpeng. I entered the Lingxiao lineage a few years earlier than you, so it's not wrong for you to call me Senior Brother, hehe."
