"Bright Moon Sword Technique!"
"Meteor Technique!"
"The Four Extreme Water Dragon Kings!"
Lin Xiuyuan kept flipping through the pages, his eyes always revealing a look of interest.
As expected of the true techniques passed down from the main peak, every attack technique was extremely sharp, belonging to the superior and top tiers among those of the same realm. Back when he was still a rogue cultivator in the outside world, Lin Xiuyuan would have been eager to snatch even one of these techniques from him.
But with so many choices available now, one should naturally choose carefully and select the most suitable Taoist secret technique that fits oneself.
The saying goes, "Don't bite off more than you can chew." Mastering too much is impossible to cultivate. Lin Xiuyuan only plans to cultivate the three paths that are within his quota.
As before, as a newly recruited disciple of the main peak, one also has three slots. In the future, if one wants to learn more Daoist techniques and secret arts, one will need to exchange them for contribution points. The main lineage's inherited true methods generally require at least several hundred points...
Lin Xiuyuan slowly flipped through the pages, trying to find the most suitable Taoist techniques for himself.
I originally thought I'd be staying in the Scripture Pavilion for a long time, but the time was shortened considerably. It just goes to show how powerful the main lineage's techniques are; passed down for nearly ten thousand years, all the most profound and mysterious techniques are collected here.
Looking across the vast world of cultivation, it is among the best, after all, it is a large sect with a history of nearly ten thousand years!
Lin Xiuyuan was tempted several times after just glancing at the Yunxiao lineage's cultivation techniques, but he had to restrain himself; otherwise, he would have made his choice long ago.
However, this is also extremely convenient, as they are all profound and superior cultivation techniques, each with its own unique features. Lin Xiuyuan only needs to browse through the water-based Daoist secrets.
Since the main cultivation method belongs to the water element, choosing a Taoist secret technique of the corresponding element is naturally more suitable.
In the end, Lin Xiu completed the selection of three Daoist secret techniques much earlier than expected, in less than a day.
The first book is the Four Extremes Water Dragon King of the Cloud Soaring lineage. This is a top-tier Daoist technique that can gather spiritual power of water and ice attributes. Once mastered, it can be considered one of the strongest methods.
It can summon four water dragons at once, resembling the Water Dragon King, each possessing the mysteries of a water dragon and an ice dragon. The former is mainly for attacking and killing, while the latter is mainly for trapping enemies! They can also gather together to unleash extremely powerful energy.
Preliminary estimates suggest that the power of this method is roughly equivalent to a minor realm.
Furthermore, there is an upper limit that can be increased. If a dragon soul is planted and continuously refined to form a spell seal to activate it, its power will be increased by a level, enough to unleash a power beyond its level.
Of course, the dragon soul described in the jade slip is just the demon core of a more powerful water-attribute demon beast, but the dragon attribute is the best and more suitable.
Secondly, there's the Lingxiao lineage's secret technique called the Stacking Talisman Technique, which is also an extremely powerful method and can be considered their trump card. However, for now, it seems somewhat useless.
As the name suggests, it can stack the power of talismans, almost achieving a one plus one effect.
This gives us a glimpse into the situation.
However, the required mana is far too much. With Lin Xiuyuan's current cultivation level of mid-Foundation Establishment, he can at most stack ten or so talismans, and in terms of power, it is probably only comparable to the power of a single strike in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
It can be effective in critical moments, mainly due to its rapid casting speed. However, compared to his other methods, this stacking of talismans is undoubtedly inferior; it would be better to directly activate a large number of talismans at once.
However, once one's cultivation level improves and one's magical power becomes more abundant, the number of talismans that can be stacked will also increase, and at that time, the power will naturally be different from before.
Although it may not be of great use for the time being, it is very necessary to cultivate it, and it is undoubtedly an essential skill for talisman masters.
Basically, all the disciples of the Lingxiao lineage practice this secret technique.
The last Taoist technique is the Water Imprisonment Technique, which also originates from the Yunxiao lineage.
It can form a cage to trap the enemy, limiting their ability to be surrounded and killed, and can also serve as a barrier in critical moments.
Although it looks simple, it is certainly not simple that it was included here, especially since it comes from the Yunxiao lineage.
Its power is at least ten times stronger than a wooden magic talisman!
Lin Xiuyuan estimated that, under his activation, it would take an ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator at least five breaths to break through.
Lin Xiuyuan was very satisfied with the selection of these three Taoist secret techniques, which greatly enhanced his abilities.
"First, practice these three Daoist secret techniques. After you have a basic grasp of them, go and take a look at the Lingxiao Pavilion."
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself, then went to copy the jade slip, left the Scripture Pavilion, and headed back to his cave.
Lingxiao Pavilion is similar to a scripture repository, but it does not contain any Taoist magic or secret techniques. Instead, it contains jade slips passed down from various lineages, which contain knowledge about the way of talisman masters.
I can't spare any more attention right now, so I need to master the Taoist techniques and secret arts I have first, otherwise it will only delay my cultivation time.
Now that we've just entered the main peak, there's no need to be impatient.
...
…………
Several months later.
Inside the secret room.
The spiritual energy, which appeared somewhat violent, gradually stabilized over time.
As the blue light around Lin Xiuyuan flickered, it resembled a blue light bulb that was flashing unpredictably. Then, the light gradually stabilized.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan pointed forward, and streams of magical power that had been condensed for a long time immediately shot out.
A burst of hazy, azure light erupted, illuminating the dimly lit secret room with shimmering, dreamlike light.
With a soft "boom," the blue magic power gradually became dazzling, rapidly intertwining and outlining to form a cage.
"In less than half a month, I should be able to successfully grasp the basics of this Water Imprisonment Technique. At that time, I can free my mind to go to the Lingxiao Hall. I have missed the Daoist teachings these past few months because I have been practicing the true method."
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and muttered to himself.
Over the past few months, I have almost mastered the three newly learned offensive techniques. Water Imprisonment is the last one, and I am now close to mastering it.
This undoubtedly made him quite happy. After successfully mastering the Daoist arts, he would have the energy to go to the Lingxiao Pavilion and attend the monthly Daoist classes to improve his talismanic skills and continue to improve himself.
After meditating to recover his magical power, Lin Xiuyuan left the secret chamber to retrieve spiritual herbs, preparing for his daily cultivation.
After leaving the cave, Lin Xiuyuan went to the herb garden, picked a purple mountain leaf, and frowned when he saw that there were still two spiritual herbs left.
There's still more than half of the month left, and only two plants are left for cultivation, which is clearly not enough!
"We need to hurry. After we get to Lingxiao Pavilion and begin cultivating the talismanic arts, we need to find out what's going on with that Trial Tower. We need to find a way to earn contribution points and acquire more resources, otherwise we'll fall behind in our cultivation!"
