Long Road to Stardom

Lin Xing took out a talisman pen and talisman paper, and used cinnabar, spiritual ink, and monster blood to make ink for drawing talismans. After preparing all this, she began to make talismans.

Lin Xing hadn't made talismans for a while, and felt a little rusty. It was only after a few failures that he regained his touch. During the time in the 'Dark Forest', although his cultivation level did not increase much, his ability to accurately control spiritual power improved a lot.

As for making talismans, with her dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, the power of talismans drawn from these two spiritual roots is relatively much stronger. Talismans made from other spiritual roots will not have this effect.

Lin Xing decided to make talismans for his own spiritual roots first, and then consider making talismans for other spiritual roots.

She drew the most fire bomb talismans at the beginning, and then slowly got into the state. She saw more and more talismans drawn on the table. Most of them were second-level mid-grade talismans and above, and there were only a few second-level low-grade talismans. It seemed that her precise control of spiritual power had greatly improved her talisman-making level.

Lin Xing spent ten days making talismans of the two spiritual roots of fire and wood, including fireball talisman, fire bomb talisman, fire rain talisman, wooden shield talisman, rejuvenation talisman, giant tree talisman and so on.

Looking at the pile of talismans, Lin Xing felt a sense of accomplishment. He took out a few boxes and put the talismans away one by one.

After putting away the talisman, Lin Xing sat cross-legged in meditation to restore the spiritual power in his body. When his spiritual power was almost restored, he continued to immerse himself in making the talisman.

Another ten days were spent, and the talismans that Lin Xing made included the God-speed Talisman, the Swift Wind Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, the Ice Arrow Talisman, the Wind Blade Talisman, and so on. As long as they were available in the "Talisman Collection", she made some, until all the second-level talisman paper she bought was used up.

However, the spiritual power contained in these talismans is less than that of the fire and wood talismans. But there is nothing she can do about it, because she does not have these spiritual roots. However, with her precise control over spiritual power and her powerful spiritual consciousness as support, the talismans she made for other spiritual roots are quite remarkable.

The competition will start in three days, and Lin Xing plans to try to make a third-level talisman in these last three days.

After his spiritual energy was almost recovered, Lin Xing took out a third-level talisman pen and a bottle of blood from a half-step golden elixir monster to make ink.

With the rich experience in making talismans, Lin Xing chose a simpler third-level talisman, the Fire Spirit Talisman.

Just as he started writing, the talisman paper was directly scrapped due to nervousness. Lin Xing quickly adjusted his state, and after more than ten failed attempts, he finally made a third-level low-grade fire spirit talisman.

Lin Xing kept up the good work, and the next few pictures were not a failure, and the quality reached medium level.

Lin Xing made them one by one without any pride, until he made a top-grade Fire Spirit Talisman and then switched to another kind of talisman.

In three days, she drew two talismans, the Fire Spirit Talisman and the Heavenly Thunder Talisman. In the same amount of time, she drew many more Fire Spirit Talismans than Heavenly Thunder Talismans, and their quality was also much higher.

There are only eight Heavenly Thunder Talismans, and only one is a third-level medium-grade talisman, while the rest are third-level low-grade talismans.

The sect competition will be held tomorrow, so Lin Xing packed up his things and went to the living room to lie on the bed and get ready for the night.

I have been making talismans these days, and my spiritual consciousness is a little tired from using it for too long, but it is painful and joyful, and my spiritual consciousness has grown a lot.

Lin Xing fell asleep soon after he lay down.

Lin Xing woke up early after a dreamless night.

After checking the contents of the storage bag and making sure nothing was missing, he flew towards Xuan Yue Peak Square.

This time the sect competition was held at the Xuanyue Peak Square. In the past, other peaks took turns hosting the competition. As the Yuntian Secret Realm is about to open, the number of participants in the competition is doubled than in the past, with more than 5,000 people participating.

I saw forty-nine arenas rising in the center of the square, forty-eight of which were small and formed a circle around a large arena in the center.

Below the central arena were cultivators from every peak participating in the competition. When Lin Xing arrived at Danfeng's location, he found there were only six of them. He greeted the others and waited quietly.

Outside the forty-eight small arenas, there were already huge crowds of people. There were many disciples who were not qualified to participate in the competition or who came to watch the sect competition. There were more than 30,000 people in total.

Amid the noise, a voice rang out, "Disciples, be quiet!"

The entire square suddenly fell silent. A man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a pale face and a very serious attitude, came to the center of the arena from mid-air, and the disciples below the stage started to make another noise.

Lin Xing heard the voice next to him. This person turned out to be the leader of Xuan Yue Sect, and he looked quite young.

The head of the sect swept his eyes around the stage and shouted, "All the disciples participating in the competition, please come to the central stage and join me in welcoming the heads of the major peaks."

Lin Xing flew to the arena with everyone else, saluted with all the disciples, and said in unison: "Welcome to all the peak masters."

"The other peak masters haven't arrived yet, so I'll come and take a look first." A voice came, the voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

When the voice sounded, an old man was seen sitting in the main seat on the central stage. The head of the sect bowed quickly and said, "Welcome, Third Elder."

Lin Xing was confused, and then everyone bowed to welcome the arrival of the Grand Elder.

As soon as the disciples finished speaking, the seventy-two peak masters followed and paid their respects to the third elder who was sitting in the main seat before sitting down at the side seats. The sect leader even stood directly next to the third elder.

The third elder was dressed in a grey Taoist robe and looked amiable and approachable.

He was sitting on the main stage and said with a smile, "The competition will still be led by the headmaster himself this time, so I won't get involved."

The head of the sect nearby was not surprised to see this. He bowed and came to the center of the arena, "The sect competition begins now!"

Lin Xing didn't expect that he would be able to see so many people whom he had never seen before in this sect competition, and that he would even be able to attract the third elder to come. It seemed that this competition was indeed extraordinary.

After more than 5,000 disciples drew lots, they fought against each other in pairs. The competition took place on 48 arenas, with three rounds a day. The top 520 would be decided on the first day.

Small protective shields were raised on all forty-eight arenas to prevent people outside the arenas from being accidentally injured during battles.

There is a Jindan stage cultivator presiding over each arena.

The competition was announced to begin, and the disciples who were going to the central arena went to a huge brown jar in the middle that contained many wooden sticks and drew lots from it. Those with the same numbers would compete.

Lin Xing didn't think he was lucky enough to draw a bye, but there was no need to draw one that had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment right away.

I sighed in my heart, but fortunately it was not my first round, so I could only comfort myself this way.

Lin Xing's first opponent was an outer sect disciple of Fu Feng, who looked to be around 20 years old, a little thin, with a slightly pale face, as if he would be blown away by the wind.
