Long Road to Stardom

A month and a half later, Lin Xing had used up the 500 pieces of fourth-level talisman paper he had bought, and his success rate had reached over 90%.

After making talismans for a long time, her mind was very tired. If she went to make a fifth-level talisman in her current state, it would be a waste of these blank talisman papers. One piece of fifth-level blank talisman paper cost five high-quality spirit stones, and she was reluctant to waste it.

Lin Xing just lay down on the bed and fell asleep to recover his tired consciousness.

After sleeping for a day and a night, her spirit recovered. She spent another three days studying the method of making a fifth-level talisman before she began to prepare to write.

The fifth-level talisman paper is made of the skin of high-level monsters. If you want to draw talismans on it, you need to have extremely high control over your spiritual power. Not only will the number of strokes increase, but there cannot be even a single mistake.

Lin Xing tried to draw a few pictures, but all of them failed. She learned from her failures and continued to work on them.

After wasting sixty-four pieces of talisman paper, Lin Xing finally made a fifth-level talisman.

The talisman paper made from this high-level monster was indeed too easy to riot, and all the previous efforts would be wasted if one was not careful. However, if this kind of talisman paper was not used, it would not be able to withstand the huge spiritual power. It seemed that it was not so easy to break through to the fifth-grade talisman master.

With the successful experience of one talisman paper, Lin Xing continued to make it, and successfully made eight more out of the next thirty-five talisman papers.

Unexpectedly, only nine out of the one hundred fifth-level talisman papers she bought were successful, with a success rate of less than 10%.

She also wanted to use this time to make a few sets of level five talisman arrays, but it seemed there was no hope. However, she still had some time, and how would she know her own strengths if she didn't try it herself.

Lin Xing spent three months drawing talismans in the inn, and only about twenty days passed outside.

After all the talisman papers she bought were used up, Lin Xing went to the market again. This time, she bought 500 sheets of fifth-level talisman papers in one go.

After returning to the inn to regain my spirits, I continued to make talismans.

As expected, after a long period of uninterrupted production, Lin Xing's ability to control spiritual power has improved a lot. She can also react instantly to the sudden violence of the talisman paper and it will not be scrapped like before. The two biggest problems have been solved, and her success rate in making level 5 talismans has skyrocketed.

But every time the talisman paper rioted, she could only barely prevent it from being scrapped, and the talismans she drew were basically low-grade or medium-grade talismans. If the talisman paper did not have this problem, the talismans she drew were basically high-grade or top-grade talismans.

But this situation is very rare, so the fifth-level talismans she made are basically of low or medium quality, with only a few of high and top quality, but this is enough.

Lin Xing had only 100 pieces left of the 500 pieces of fifth-level talisman paper she had bought, and she planned to use these 100 pieces to try to make a talisman array.

The talisman array is similar to a formation but is simpler and faster than a formation. However, it can only last for a period of time. Once the spiritual power on the talisman paper is consumed, the talisman array will be broken.

As long as there are enough spirit stones, the formation can exist forever, but the talisman formation can be activated instantly, which cannot be done for the formation. It takes a certain amount of time to set up.

However, the set of formation flags that Brother Chen gave her before were similar to the talisman formation. She didn't know how it was done. She had never heard of such formation flags before.

A talisman array can only be created by a talisman master of at least level five. A talisman master who has not created a set of talisman arrays cannot be considered a level five talisman master.

Lin Xing didn't know if she could make it, so she chose the simplest level five trap array, which required drawing ten talismans at the same time. The difficulty of this talisman would directly discourage cultivators with lower spiritual awareness. The spiritual power in her body must also be enough to support herself to finish drawing these ten talismans, otherwise all her efforts would be wasted.

Lin Xing recovered his spiritual power, took out ten pieces of talisman paper, arranged them, and began to try to make them.

The first production was a failure as expected. She summarized her experience from the failure and continued with the next production.

Repeated failures did not discourage her. Instead, she devoted herself more fully to making talisman paper. Finally, on the eighth try, she successfully made a set of level five talisman arrays. However, there were still some minor mistakes. The spiritual power contained in the talismans was relatively small, so the time of use would be relatively short.

But this was considered a success. Lin Xing continued to make it. She failed again the ninth time. The last time she made another set, which was much better than the previous one.

Lin Xing wanted to buy some blank talisman paper to continue making talismans, but he had already stayed in the inn for about five months and exactly one month had passed outside, so he had no time to continue drawing talismans.

She suppressed her cultivation to the early stage of Golden Core, changed her appearance into Su Qing's and changed her clothes. She simply tidied up the room, made sure nothing was left out, and left the inn for "Feng Yue Tower".

After a while, Lin Xing arrived at "Fengyue Tower", which was the largest restaurant in "Lucheng". The decoration was indeed incomparable to other small restaurants. She walked into "Fengyue Tower". There were not many cultivators in the hall of "Fengyue Tower", and their cultivation was around the foundation-building stage. They secretly glanced at her and did not dare to pay any more attention to her.

Following the wooden sign given by Manager Zheng, Lin Xing came to the door of a private room on the third floor of Fengyue Tower.

He used the wooden sign to swipe the rune in front of the door of the private room, and the door opened instantly. Lin Xing looked inside and saw eight Nascent Soul cultivators sitting inside, not knowing who they were waiting for.

However, there was a masked Nascent Soul cultivator who made her feel particularly familiar. Lin Xing secretly took a few glances at him and finally remembered who he was.

This person was clearly the monk she had been pretending to be for three months. How could he be here? He was really an enemy on the road. However, judging from his expression, he probably didn't know what she had done.

But why has this person stayed in Thunder Continent for so long and hasn't returned yet? Could it be that he really has a "Longyang fetish" and can't bear to leave a certain male cultivator?

Lin Xing felt that he had discovered the truth and wanted to go up and ask him about it, but he had no idea that he stayed behind to investigate the person who was impersonating him.

Gu Chen was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xing. He didn't expect that she was a fifth-rank alchemist. Although he had only seen her once in front of the inn, her eyes were so impressive that he recognized her at a glance.

Lin Xing walked into the box and the cultivators inside greeted her one after another. Although she was only a Jindan cultivator, the title of a fifth-grade alchemist was much higher in status than that of a Yuanying cultivator. Many people who wanted to make friends with a fifth-grade alchemist had no way to do so, so they naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Lin Xing did not feel uncomfortable because of their cultivation level. Instead, he had a pleasant conversation with these cultivators, which made these cultivators look up to him.

After talking for a while, Lin Xing learned about the situations of these monks respectively. The leader was the good friend of Manager Zheng. He looked similar to Manager Zheng, a little fatter, with a shrewd face and a little loose skin on his face, but he looked very energetic.
