A glint flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, and his doubts were immediately answered. He also mastered the new method of talisman making by analogy, which filled him with confidence and made him eager to refine high-level talismans.
This time, Lin Xiuyuan felt that creating a high-level finished talisman should be a piece of cake.
However, Lin Xiuyuan was not blinded by this confidence. Although he had some understanding of the three-layer structure of talisman making techniques, it was only based on experience. To put it into practice, he still had to try it out himself.
He immediately took five sets of materials, picked up a talisman pen, and tried out a new method of making talismans.
Lin Xiuyuan's expression became focused, and his eyes shone with an unusual light, exuding a unique charm.
The hand holding the brush was as steady as Mount Tai, and then there was a feeling of the brush moving like dragons and snakes. The brush slowly outlined on the yellow talisman. The sound of the brush tip hitting the talisman surface was like a beautiful movement, rising steadily.
Gradually, some seemingly irregular lines formed on the yellow talisman, yet they inexplicably exuded a mysterious feeling.
The new three-layered talisman-making technique is not complicated, but the difficulty is naturally a bit higher. Ultimately, it is just a disassembly of the traditional technique, a disruption of the steps, and a rearrangement into a fixed pattern.
Therefore, Lin Xiuyuan's brushstrokes at this moment were as if guided by divine inspiration, without the slightest sense of hindrance, flowing smoothly and naturally, like clouds and water.
Before long, the entire yellow talisman was covered with dense lines, thus entering the second step: forming spiritual patterns.
This step is a bit difficult.
Finding the connecting points among the dense and complex lines is a real headache for ordinary talisman masters.
Therefore, the three-layer refining method was not widely adopted and was only applicable to high-level talisman masters.
The existence of traditional methods is naturally necessary, as they are the most simple and easy-to-understand refining techniques for beginners in talisman making.
But for Lin Xiuyuan, this was not a problem. Although he had no particular talent, the subtle influence of the Purple Talisman had made his mastery of mid-level talismans probably reach the level of a master.
Gradually, once the spirit patterns were drawn, individual runes began to form.
Finally, as the magical power surged, the runes on it were fully activated.
The entire talisman emitted a faint spiritual light, and a magical aura spread out before disappearing.
"So fast?"
Old Qin smiled slightly, it seemed that Lin Xiuyuan's talent was quite good.
There was no great surprise at this. Judging from the observation, Lin Xiuyuan's success rate was not low, and he was obviously a senior intermediate talisman master. It was normal for him to master the new three-layer structure talisman-making method so quickly.
However, what happened next surprised Old Qin.
Lin Xiuyuan looked expectant. After successfully completing the refining of the talisman using the three-layer structure method, he felt that there were no major problems.
He immediately summoned the messengers to retrieve high-level talisman materials.
"Senior, are you sure? You registered as a mid-level talisman master. If you receive five sets of high-level talisman materials but are unable to deliver the finished product, then you will have to bear all the losses of the materials yourself."
The man said in surprise.
Elder Qin and the Fire Talisman Master couldn't help but look over, but they weren't very surprised. What surprised them was yet to come.
At this moment, I don't feel anything is wrong.
Since the three of them had been making talismans here for more than half a year, making talismans together in the next room, they naturally knew that Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of mid-level talismans was extremely profound. Now that his cultivation had improved to the sixth level, he had barely touched the refining of high-level talismans, but the success rate should not be too high.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't hesitate and said directly, "Bring it here. If you don't produce a finished talisman, I'll cover the cost myself!"
Upon seeing this, the servant did not hesitate and asked directly, "What kind of talisman does Senior wish to refine? I will go and fetch it for you right away."
"Golden Sword Talisman!"
Lin Xiuyuan said calmly.
The officer nodded and turned to fetch the materials.
At this moment, the two people next to him couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Elder Qin couldn't help but say, "Xiuyuan, if you're going to try refining high-level talismans, it would be best to start with the Lesser Five Elements Escape Talisman, right? That's easier to learn. The Golden Sword Talisman is a bit too difficult."
"Thank you for the reminder, but I have studied this for a long time and am quite confident. I have my own plan." Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands and smiled.
"Since you've already thought this through, then I wish you success in reaching the next level!"
Seeing this, Old Qin didn't say anything more, but he thought in his heart that Lin Xiuyuan was unlikely to succeed, and even thought that he was being a bit too ambitious.
The Golden Sword Talisman is almost the most powerful offensive talisman among the ninth-grade talismans, and naturally, it is also the most difficult to obtain among the ninth-grade talismans.
If Lin Xiuyuan were at the later stage of cultivation, there might still be a slight chance of success.
However, nowadays, the success rate of refining items beyond one's level is close to zero...
However, this was a personal choice, and he couldn't say much about it.
Presumably, due to the current situation, they were eager to forge the Golden Sword Talisman for protection.
But the Golden Sword Talisman is not something that can be mastered at will. It seems that this young man will understand the principle of gradual progress after experiencing some hardship.
Soon, the servant brought over five sets of materials for refining the Golden Sword Talisman.
Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his mindset, and gradually entered a state of tranquility.
Half an hour later, Lin Xiuyuan slowly picked up the talisman brush.
The two people on either side were curious about this and their attention was drawn to him. They wanted to see why Lin Xiuyuan was so confident in choosing the Golden Sword Talisman, one of the most difficult talismans to refine, to advance to the next level.
Lin Xiuyuan picked up his brush and sketched on the yellow talisman... A strange charm emanated from him, a strong sense of confidence that arose from the fact that after resolving doubts, there seemed to be no more obstacles or problems.
The brushstrokes at this moment seem to possess the style of a master of talismanic arts, flowing freely and elegantly, with ink brimming and rich in flavor!
Lin Xiuyuan had refined this talisman more than once or twice, and there was no obstruction in the entire process.
This caused a strange look to appear in the eyes of Elder Qin and the Fire Talisman Master.
As if seeing Lin Xiuyuan for the first time, she looked him over carefully again, full of astonishment.
"Could he be a genius in the art of talismans?"
"Could it be that I really intend to succeed in advancing to the next level in one fell swoop? Or is it with the Golden Sword Talisman, the most difficult of the ninth-grade talismans?"
