13: Uncle Ye's invitation

Lin Feng bought three bottles of Medicinal Pills in one go and began Talismans crafting and Cultivating at his residence.

After a year of Talismans crafting, Lin Feng's success rate in Talismans crafting had increased to 40%, and his monthly income now exceeded fifty Spirit Stones.

Lin Feng's income was entirely sufficient to cover his Medicinal Pill consumption, with some even left over.

The Junior Brothers in the same row of wooden houses occasionally sought Lin Feng's help.

Lin Feng remembered that when he was short on Spirit Stones, they were willing to help him, and although he had already given them generous returns, he was still willing to assist when these Junior Brothers asked.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and with the help of Medicinal Pills, Lin Feng's Cultivation Realm once again achieved a Breakthrough, becoming a Qi Refining Stage 4 Cultivator in one fell swoop, a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Upon his Realm Breakthrough, Lin Feng gained new entries.

Breakthrough in Realm, gain the right to choose entries.

One: Gray entry · Weak-minded (Naturally dull, difficulty communicating, worrying IQ.) Note: Cannot evolve.

Two: White entry · Basic Spiritual Qi (Cultivation speed +10%, harms relatives.) Note: Can evolve.

Three: Blue entry · Spirit Rhinoceros Eye (Analyzes the operation trajectory of Cultivation Techniques, can see through low-level Spells, has an extremely small chance of replicating low-level Spells, but replicating high-level Spells will result in backlash.) Note: Can evolve once.

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned as he looked at the new entries from his Breakthrough.

This time, there was even a blue entry directly, but this blue entry seemed to have many restrictions.

This so-called Spirit Rhinoceros Eye could actually analyze the operation trajectory of Cultivation Techniques and even see through low-level Spells.

This Spell was indeed very useful for Lin Feng at present; possessing this eye would not only allow him to observe the operation of his own magic power when crafting Talismans but also detect subtle fluctuations in magic power.

By identifying flaws, he could make adjustments, thereby increasing the success rate of Talismans crafting.

As for other uses of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Lin Feng planned to study them carefully in the future to see if they could provide other forms of assistance.

As for replicating low-level Spells, the probability was extremely low, and high-level Spells even had backlash; Lin Feng felt this was not very useful, so he did not pay further attention to it.

As Lin Feng chose option three, his new panel changed.

Character: Lin Feng

Realm: Qi Refining Stage 4

Gray entry one: Early Misfortune (Early Misfortune, but after experiencing misfortune, there will be an opportunity, harms relatives.) Note: Cannot advance.

Green entry one: Diligence can compensate for clumsiness (Daily Cultivation for eight hours doubles the effect, every additional four hours doubles it again.) Note: Can advance once.

Green entry two: Minor Comprehension (Comprehension Ability is twice as high as the average person.) Can advance.

Green entry three: Talisman Control (Talisman crafting success rate increased by 30%.) Can advance.

Blue entry three · Spirit Rhinoceros Eye (Analyzes the operation trajectory of Cultivation Techniques, can see through low-level Spells, has an extremely small chance of replicating low-level Spells, but replicating high-level Spells will result in backlash.) Note: Can evolve once.

Having obtained the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, Lin Feng immediately began to try Talismans crafting.

He infused his magic power into his eyes, and at this moment, his eyes emitted a faint blue light.

While crafting Talismans, Lin Feng observed the operation of his Cultivation Technique and the flow of his magic power.

After a period of observation, Lin Feng discovered many minor problems in his Talismans crafting that he had not noticed before.

Lin Feng corrected the observed problems little by little, and after a month, his Talisman crafting success rate increased to 50%.

This 50% success rate, of course, did not apply to all Talismans; only Swift Talismans and Fireball Talismans could reach 50%.

The reason why the crafting of these two Talismans was higher than others was that Lin Feng had been crafting them for over a year, gaining considerable insight and experience.

Coupled with the help of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, this helped Lin Feng increase his success rate by one layer.

As for other Talismans, Lin Feng had been crafting them for a shorter time.

Although he made significant progress with the help of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, his current success rate was only 40%, which Lin Feng was still somewhat dissatisfied with.

In fact, Lin Feng at this time was a bit greedy; even experienced Talisman Makers had a success rate of only 40-50% for the Talismans they crafted.

Lin Feng had caught up to their decades of achievements in just one year.

Lin Feng, with his Five Spiritual Root Aptitude, took three years and four months to raise his Cultivation to Qi Refining Stage 4, becoming a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Before, during the Qi Refining Early Stage, it was not a big deal, but at this point, Lin Feng felt he was attracting too much attention.

After all, he only had a Five Spiritual Root, yet his Cultivation speed was faster than those True spiritual root cultivators, which was difficult to explain.

Therefore, Lin Feng planned to purchase a Cultivation Technique to hide his Cultivation if he had enough Spirit Stones later.

Thus, Lin Feng Cultivated while crafting Talismans, and a month later, Martial Uncle Ye Zhiqiu came to find Lin Feng.

Martial Uncle Ye still looked as young and spirited as ever.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, he laughed heartily, nodded at Lin Feng, and praised him, saying, "I haven't seen you since I brought you to the Sect these past few years, and I didn't expect Nephew Lin, with your Five Spiritual Root Aptitude, to have already become a Cultivator in the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

Excellent, excellent."

Lin Feng did not know why Martial Uncle Ye was looking for him, so he immediately bowed respectfully and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Thanks to Junior Martial Uncle guiding me, I am where I am today.

May I ask why Junior Martial Uncle is looking for me?"

Martial Uncle Ye smiled slightly and asked Lin Feng:

"I heard that Nephew Lin has now learned Talismans crafting.

I am going to the Liuyun Market at the junction with Wei Country to take up a post and guard it.

I heard you can craft Talismans, so I wanted to ask if Nephew Lin is interested in going with me?"

At this moment, Lin Feng showed hesitation.

Lin Feng was doing well in the Sect now, and suddenly having to follow Ye Zhiqiu to the so-called Liuyun Market, he was naturally unwilling.

Ye Zhiqiu saw Lin Feng's reluctance and smiled slightly, informing him.

"Nephew Lin, don't rush to refuse.

Even if you become an Outer Sect Disciple while Cultivating in the Sect, you will still need to perform tasks.

Performing tasks will not only take up a lot of your Cultivation time, but the stipend given by the Sect will not be much.

Even if you can craft Talismans in the Sect, that will only meet your Cultivation needs."

Lin Feng nodded, agreeing with Ye Zhiqiu's statement.

Seeing Lin Feng agree, Ye Zhiqiu then introduced:

"Since I am going to Liuyun Market, I naturally need my own trusted people.

Therefore, I will bring some Outer Sect Disciples with me.

Now that your Cultivation has reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage, you are already qualified to be an Outer Sect Disciple, and you can also craft Talismans.

Why not help me?

I can guarantee that you will not be disturbed in Liuyun Market; you only need to craft Talismans and Cultivate, and I, your Junior Martial Uncle, will not restrict your freedom."

When Lin Feng heard Ye Zhiqiu say this, he was indeed moved.

He was right; even if he became an Outer Sect Disciple, he would still need to perform tasks.

At that time, it would not be like now, where he only needed to do some cleaning in the Hall of Skill Transmission.

Outer Sect Disciples also needed to spend a lot of time performing tasks, and those Disciples who went down the mountain directly became shop assistants in the Sect's stores, busy all day with even less time to Cultivate.

From this perspective, the conditions offered by Martial Uncle Ye were indeed better.

Since he was going, Lin Feng also asked the questions he cared about:

"Then, Martial Uncle Ye, if I craft Talismans with you, are there any special requirements?

Also, can I bring a few Junior Brothers with me?

This way, having familiar people would be good for mutual support."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, indicating it was possible.

Lin Feng immediately named a few Outer Sect Disciples with whom he usually had a good relationship: Xiong Hu, Qi Liang, and Qi Kun.

Xiong Hu was about to reach Qi Refining Stage 3, while Qi Liang and Qi Kun were both Pseudo Spiritual Roots, and both had only just reached Qi Refining Stage 2.

With over a year left, it was unlikely for them to reach Qi Refining Stage 3.

It would be better to bring them along, as knowing their backgrounds would make things convenient.

It could also provide a good place for the two of them.
