Two years later.
Lin Xiuyuan felt he had a good chance of success, so he decided to try to refine a finished secret talisman.
Since learning the Lingxiao Secret Talisman, Lin Xiuyuan has slowed down his cultivation speed again, producing only two Xuanjia Spirit Talismans each month. He uses one to complete the talisman summoning mission and sells the other. With the contribution points, he can barely maintain the auxiliary cultivation of the Golden Yuan Pill!
Everything else was cut off, and not a single rare and precious material was purchased. Apart from cultivating spirit beasts and buying Golden Essence Pills, all other resources were used on the three secret talismans.
Because it was accumulated through practice, Lin Xiuyuan simply learned the Heavenly Wind Talisman all at once, using all three talismans together!
Lin Xiuyuan used the old method: once each talisman was half-made and had reached the point where it could accumulate purple light, he simply abandoned the subsequent refining process.
This saves a lot of time, allowing you to accumulate the purple light of each talisman twice a month.
Two years passed in this way, and through persistent accumulation, the purple light of the three talismans had now reached about 30%.
Lin Xiuyuan had plenty of experience in this area, and knowing this basically meant that he was at least 30% confident in making talismans.
Moreover, in the past two years, Lin Xiuyuan has spent his spare time constantly studying spirit patterns and runes, and he has never missed a single monthly class at the dojo.
Aside from making talismans and daily cultivation, he spends all his remaining time, except for occasionally practicing Taoist secret arts, on improving his talisman skills.
Roughly speaking, it has been about two and a half years since I received the inheritance from the main peak, Lingxiao.
Lin Xiuyuan relied on the profound insights he gained from the purple talisman to lay a solid foundation, which gave him a special talent for the Dao of Talismans.
With this foundation, one's mastery of talismanic arts can be said to have progressed rapidly.
A year and a half ago, Lin Xiuyuan had already mastered the Eight Mysterious Spirit Patterns, and about a year ago, he had already mastered the basic Five Elements and Eight Trigrams runes.
In the past year, Lin Xiuyuan has been studying advanced runes and spirit patterns, and his progress has barely caught up with the Lingxiao disciples, leaving all the new disciples far behind.
With his current mastery of talismanic arts, passing through the third level should be no problem.
If Lin Xiuyuan hadn't needed to accumulate the purple light of three secret runes beforehand, leaving him little time for cultivation, he would have gone to challenge the Trial Tower long ago to obtain contribution points to aid his cultivation.
After all, seven years may seem like a long time, but for cultivators, it's equivalent to seven months for ordinary people, and it passes by quickly.
With the current resources, Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation speed is unlikely to improve much further. In such a short time, his cultivation level cannot possibly advance by much; at most, he might reach the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment phase... Such a small increase in mana would have a negligible impact on his combat strength!
Therefore, we can only rely on external things.
Moreover, with the wonder of the purple talisman, it would be unreasonable not to rely on it.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan knew very well that he should seize the time to master the Daoist secret techniques and stockpile a large number of the three secret talismans in order to further enhance his combat power.
Only in this way can we defeat Wang An and break through the obstacles on the day of the competition!
Only now, seeing that the purple light of the three secret talismans has accumulated to 30% each, and feeling somewhat confident, does Lin Xiuyuan decide to finalize the talismans.
With the purple light accumulating to 30%, based on past experience, the success rate of talisman making can be guaranteed to be above 30%.
With his own mastery of talismans, the success rate of creating three secret talismans should be over 40%!
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan continued drawing the spirit runes he had only halfway through.
As time passed, the talisman brush fell on the talisman paper, making a soft rustling sound that permeated the air, as delicate as a drizzle yet full of power.
As the talisman brush moved, wisps of magical power extended from Lin Xiuyuan's body, flowing down the tip of the brush and landing on the talisman paper.
Gradually, layers of spiritual patterns formed and intertwined on it, looking like messy lines scattered randomly, but one could clearly see a sense of mystery in them.
The intricate lines, somehow connected, gradually forming runes...
...
Several days later.
As soon as the talisman brush stopped, the surrounding spiritual energy surged inexplicably, suddenly converging towards the talisman paper on the desk.
The next moment, a white light flashed across the talisman, and the spiritual runes on it twisted for a moment before suddenly emitting a surge of spiritual energy.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes lit up with joy.
"It's done!"
"As expected, with the purple light accumulating to this point, coupled with my rapid progress in talisman-making skills, my success rate in creating mid-grade low-level spirit talismans has now reached nearly 50%!"
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself, then picked up the talisman on the desk, rubbed it carefully with both hands, and probed it with his divine sense.
He closed his eyes and slowly sensed its power.
A moment later, Lin Xiuyuan opened his eyes with satisfaction and muttered to himself with delight, "As expected of a secret talisman from the Xuanfu family, even without the corresponding cultivation technique, its power is so strong! No wonder it can only be refined after reaching the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. It turns out that even though they are both secret talismans from the Xuanfu family, they can be so different."
Through careful observation, Lin Xiuyuan basically confirmed the power of the Heavenly Wind Talisman.
It was even slightly stronger than the Fire Dragon Talisman, and its power had just reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!
It should be noted that the Fire Dragon Talisman was overflowing with purple light, producing profound mysteries, allowing Lin Xiuyuan to directly grasp the essence of this talisman and further enhance its power.
However, due to Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level, he only infused the talisman with the mana of the early stage of the mid-Foundation Establishment period, causing the upper limit of the Fire Dragon Talisman's power to only reach the level of the mid-high stage.
I learned from Ge Liangchen that even if the Lingxiao lineage's attack talisman is activated with the help of cultivation techniques to form a layer of enhancement, it can only increase the power of the talisman to this extent at most.
That's why Lin Xiuyuan didn't learn the Lingxiao attack talisman, but instead chose the Xue family's talisman, the Heavenly Wind Talisman, which has a higher potential!
Then, by utilizing the changes of the five elements, the wood generates fire, and the wood magic talisman and the fire dragon talisman work together to unleash their power, barely reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Lin Xiuyuan's cultivation level has not improved much. He still pours the same amount of magic power into the talisman, but the power of the Heavenly Wind Talisman he refines has actually reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
This shows how powerful this talisman is!
If one has the corresponding cultivation techniques, wouldn't one inevitably reach the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and approach the late-stage power?
In terms of its profound and powerful nature, it surpasses the Lingxiao Secret Talisman, which surprised Lin Xiuyuan. He thought it would have roughly the same power, since he didn't have a cultivation technique to activate it. He only chose to cultivate and refine the Heavenly Wind Secret Talisman because of its higher potential.
But unexpectedly, the result was so low.
It's no wonder it's a secret talisman originating from the Xuanfu family!
In the human realm, the Xuanfu inheritance already represents the pinnacle of the talismanic way, and it is reasonable that it can surpass the Lingxiao Secret Talisman!
