This time, after arriving at Lingxiao Pavilion, Lin Xiuyuan went straight to the third floor.
He only accumulated thirty contribution points, and he only had three days left!
Although comprehending the secret talismans within the Lingxiao Pavilion does not require contribution points, it cannot be taken out, thus subject to time limitations. Unlike cultivation techniques and Daoist secret arts, which can be copied and taken out using contribution points for slow comprehension.
The cultivation methods and Taoist secrets need to be carefully studied and verified. Otherwise, even the slightest mistake in cultivation can easily lead to going astray and becoming possessed by evil spirits.
As for secret talismans, those with the skill of a talisman master are relatively easy to understand; the difficulty lies in the process of creating the talisman, not in the process of understanding it.
This is the most obvious reason.
The main reason is that the cultivation techniques and secret arts are all created based on the sect's cultivation methods. Even if they are leaked, the impact will not be significant. Moreover, there is a Dao oath as a protective measure. Before reading the cultivation technique jade slips, the disciples of the sect must make a Dao oath.
The secret talisman is the foundation of the Lingxiao lineage and the most important means of a talisman master. Its importance is self-evident and it cannot be easily revealed. Once it is revealed, it will undoubtedly expose the very foundation of the Lingxiao lineage.
Therefore, the sect even went so far as to use rare and precious materials like Xuanling Jade to form the restriction. This is one of the upper-middle grade materials for refining magic weapons, and it is very valuable. It has many mysteries, can contain powerful divine sense, and can also be used for tempering. High-grade Xuanling Jade can even house a nascent soul!
Then, a Golden Core Ancestor intervened, planting a restriction to form a powerful binding force. This restriction was directly placed within the consciousness of the disciple who was reading the jade slip. Once the contents were deliberately leaked, the restriction would be triggered.
This kind of divine sense restriction can basically ensure that there are no mistakes. It is almost impossible to break unless one has a powerful divine soul at the Nascent Soul stage.
But if someone has reached the Nascent Soul stage and can still leak these things, then there's nothing more to say...
This shows that the Lingxiao Secret Talisman is very powerful in preventing damage. It's not that it's necessarily more important than cultivation techniques or Taoist methods, but the consequences of leaking the secret talisman are more serious.
During his previous conversation with Ge Liangpeng in the cave, the latter, with the intention of befriending and winning him over, generously offered guidance. This gave Lin Xiuyuan a basic understanding of the Lingxiao Secret Talisman. It was precisely because of this that Lin Xiuyuan slowed down his pace and waited several months until his talisman skills improved before coming to the Lingxiao Pavilion to practice the secret talisman. His goal was to quickly memorize it in a short period of time and save contribution points.
Lin Xiuyuan had a plan in mind regarding the choice of the Lingxiao Secret Talisman. After arriving at the third floor, there were only a few bookshelves. He went to the second bookshelf and picked up a black and white jade slip and a light yellow jade slip.
Lin Xiuyuan probed inside with his divine sense, and after confirming the name of the secret symbol, he couldn't wait to delve directly into the first black and white jade slip.
Heavenly Ice Talisman and Rock Shield Talisman!
Both are defensive talismans. The former is the most defensive among the lower-grade Lingxiao talismans. Even a full-force attack from a cultivator of the same realm would be difficult to break through it. It would probably take two or three full-force attacks to break through this talisman.
With such protective power, it ranks among the top low-grade spirit talismans in the Great Yue cultivation world, almost rivaling the protective power of magic armor techniques. It's only a step or two behind.
The downside is that it consumes a lot of mana; it takes about three or four Xuanjia Spirit Talismans' worth of mana to successfully activate it.
Every advantage has its disadvantages, and nothing is perfect. Lin Xiuyuan could accept this disadvantage; although it consumed more mana, his mana was still quite abundant given that he had cultivated a superior technique.
The second secret talisman is an earth-elemental defensive spell, just like the Lesser Five Elements Talisman. In specific environments, such as places with abundant earth spiritual energy, activating this talisman can even enhance its protective power to surpass that of the Heavenly Ice Talisman.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the defensive capabilities of this Rock Shield Talisman are far inferior to those of the Heavenly Ice Talisman. However, this is only relatively speaking. It can still withstand attacks from cultivators of the same realm, but it is difficult to withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator of the same realm. However, since it is a talisman, unlike spells which require activation time, its weakness is not very obvious.
Its advantage lies in its low mana consumption and extremely fast activation, just like the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman, which can be activated instantly. Moreover, it consumes only slightly more mana and its protective power is even better.
With these advantages, even though its protective ability is not particularly outstanding, it still stands out among all defensive talismans and is extremely practical.
Not to mention that in specific environments, the protective power will continue to increase.
Most importantly, this talisman is inexpensive to produce, costing less than 800 spirit stones. Naturally, its price is also not too high, only slightly higher than the Five Elements Talisman, around 3,000 spirit stones.
The former, the Heavenly Ice Spirit Talisman, has such a powerful protective ability that its production cost is naturally very high, exceeding that of the Mysterious Armor Spirit Talisman by a significant margin, costing nearly 1,200 to 1,300 spirit stones, yet its selling price is slightly lower.
If you master these two types of talismans, they are applicable to virtually any situation. When used together, they are extremely practical and have a complementary effect.
Therefore, after learning about various Lingxiao talismans from Ge Liangpeng, Lin Xiuyuan immediately took a liking to these two types of talismans.
Looking at the description on the jade slip, Lin Xiuyuan became even more determined to cultivate these two secret talismans.
As for offensive talismans, Lin Xiuyuan had no intention of cultivating them. Although the Lingxiao talisman was extremely compatible with the sect's techniques, its power far surpassed that of other talismans of the same level when activated by the Talisman Mystery Treasure Technique.
However, the Fire Dragon Talisman in Lin Xiuyuan's hand, after being enhanced by the overflowing purple light, is no less powerful than these Lingxiao Secret Talismans. Moreover, there is still the Heavenly Wind Talisman that he has not yet practiced. This attack talisman comes from the Xuanfu family's secret talisman. Even without the corresponding cultivation method to operate it, its power is no less than if he were to practice the Lingxiao Secret Talisman.
Because this talisman has a very high upper limit, exceeding the low-grade secret talismans in the Lingxiao Pavilion, it can be upgraded to the level of a mid-grade initial-level spirit talisman.
It is possible that once the purple light is fully released and its profound essence is comprehended, its grade and power can be further enhanced.
It can only be said that it is indeed a secret talisman from the Xuanfu family, and its mystery far surpasses that of the secret talismans in the Lingxiao Pavilion.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan plans to learn the Heavenly Wind Secret Talisman, which he can use when he breaks through to the Purple Mansion stage. Once he successfully reaches the Purple Mansion stage, he can then cultivate the mid-grade spirit talismans in the Spirit Cloud Pavilion to replace the Fire Dragon Spirit Talisman.
At that moment, as Lin Xiuyuan probed into the jade slip with his divine sense, a burst of golden light immediately erupted from it.
Amidst the hazy light and shadow, two profound runes gradually converged and flashed into Lin Xiuyuan's sea of consciousness.
Lin Xiuyuan did not resist; he actively released his divine sense and even cooperated by merging into it.
Within moments, a restriction descended upon his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, the divine sense probing into the jade slip no longer encountered any resistance and smoothly penetrated into it...
