While resisting the provocation of the beauty next to him and keeping his mind clear, Lin Yi was seriously drawing talisman templates. One after another, the templates spontaneously combusted due to various mistakes, but he didn’t feel disheartened in the slightest and continued to make the next one.

Creating talismans was indeed not as easy as he imagined. It was even more mysterious than calligraphy. Understanding each stroke of the talisman patterns was just the beginning. To create a talisman successfully, a certain talent for comprehension was required to grasp the mysteries in the talisman templates.

Of course, you could also make up for it with a lot of resources and achieve success through incessant practice. However, many Loose Cultivators failed in making talismans because they lacked cultivation resources. Naturally, they could not spare precious Spirit Stones to buy materials and practice endlessly.

As he kept producing talismans, his internal Spiritual Power was quickly depleted, and he had yet to achieve a second Enlightenment.

Lin Yi took out a food box from his bag, which he had prepared with a pound of cooked Spiritual Rice. He also tore some Demon Beast Meat. One must have some side dishes with rice.

He waved to Xiao He, who was standing aside, “Miss Xiao He, thanks for your hard work. Come and have some food.”

Seeing the crystal-clear, jade-like Spiritual Rice, Xiao He could not help but swallow her saliva. She shook her head and said, “I am not hungry, and besides, this is Spiritual Rice. I’m not worthy. Please enjoy it, Immortal Master.”

“What’s this about being worthy or not? Come over here and eat. We still have a lot of time. Only when your stomach is full can you have the strength to tempt me.” Lin Yi laughed and took some Spiritual Rice from the food box, placed it on the lid, along with some Demon Beast Meat. He passed them over to her, along with the chopsticks.

“Immortal Master, that is enough. I can’t eat it all.” Xiao He repeatedly waved her hand. This was Spiritual Rice, which could cost several Spiritual Pearls for just a pound.

Speaking of which, her overnight fee was ten Spiritual Pearls. However, what she actually received was silver from the mortal world. Even after a year, she could not earn a few Spiritual Pearls because she was sold to human traffickers by her family and then resold again.

“Just eat it, it’s fine.” Lin Yi waved his hand and then picked up his chopsticks, starting to eat quickly.

Tears welled up in Xiao He’s eyes. She ate the Spiritual Rice bit by bit, fully savoring its wonderful flavor. A look of shock appeared on her face. This tasted even better than the delicacies at Xun Fang Pavilion. After swallowing, she felt a rush of comfort in her body.

After quickly finishing his meal, Lin Yi packed up everything, sat cross-legged in the chair, and prepared to refine Spiritual Energy using the Creation Method.

Xiao He also finished her meal early. Seeing Lin Yi start his cultivation, she continued to lean against him and resumed her captivating actions.

With the start of temptation, the cultivation speed bonus brought by [Color is Void] was successfully activated and started to rise.

Under the bonus of cultivation speed, Lin Yi quickly refined all the Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Rice, replenishing his Spiritual Power. Then, he switched his cultivation technique to Cultivate Vajra Jue, refining all the energy and blood generated from the Demon Beast Meat.

Upon completing the refining process, he reached out to grab the Monster Beast brush, dipped it in Rune Ink, and continued to make talismans. After a while, he gained an Enlightenment effect again, furthering his understanding of talisman creation. The unclear points suddenly became much clearer to him.

Lin Yi had a premonition that maybe after another Enlightenment, he could succeed in talisman creation and become a real Talisman Master.

However, he did not randomly draw talismans because he had a chance of gaining Enlightenment. Every time he drew a talisman, he did so with the utmost seriousness, striving to draw each talisman pattern to perfection.

When creating the twentieth talisman template, Lin Yi checked his internal Spiritual Power. It was almost exhausted. He figured he could only draw another talisman and more than half of the talisman creation tools he had bought were consumed. Only twenty pieces of talisman paper were left.

Having gained Enlightenment twice, the main cause of failure in his talisman drawing seemed to lie in the last step, which was also the most crucial. This last stroke bore the responsibility of linking the entire talisman template and activating its spirituality.

Lin Yi took a deep breath. Even though he knew the Enlightenment effect was likely to come this time, he didn’t feel excited. He retained the peace within his heart, picked up the Monster Beast brush, and slowly began to draw the talisman patterns.

Very soon, it came to the final step. Just as he was about to make a stroke, some realizations emerged in his mind. The once blocked, seemingly impassable path had suddenly become unobstructed.

At that moment, the sound of Xiao He’s temptation, the breath she exhaled, the strokes from her fingers all disappeared completely. In his eyes, there was only this talisman template, and only the last stroke that remained.

A strange smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. Without any hesitation, he drew the final stroke. Suddenly, a light flashed over the entire talisman template, indicating the success of this talisman template.

“Talisman crafting experience +1.” A window popped up before his eyes.

Seeing the talisman paper on the table, Xiao He expressed her amazement and said, “Master Immortal, it’s glowing. Why isn’t the talisman paper burning?”

“It’s because it’s successful. This is a real talisman template,” Lin Yi said with a smile. After nearly thirty failed attempts, he finally succeeded .

“You’ve succeeded, Master Immortal. You’ve successfully created your first talisman. That’s great,” Xiao He cheered with excitement. Living in Qing Yun Immortal City, she had a rough idea of the difficulty of talisman creation.

Just then, another window popped up in front of him, “The host has seriously crafted a talisman. Luck favors the diligent. The first talisman template has been successfully completed, earning the title [Talisman Craftmanship Novice].”

A look of surprise crossed Lin Yi’s face. He initially thought that after successfully crafting talismans, he would have to continue this for another month or two to gain talisman crafting experience. He didn’t expect it to come directly.

He immediately checked the effect of the title and was very satisfied. “Power +5%, success rate +10%, production speed +10%.”

Among these three effects, success rate was the most important. Even if he had successfully crafted his first talisman template, this didn’t mean he could continue to be successful. Some Talisman Masters who were lucky enough to get started had failure rates as high as seventy to eighty percent. That meant out of ten talismans, only two or three would succeed.

A Talisman Master with a certain talent had a success rate of about fifty percent when just starting. This was the minimum standard for making a profit.

Otherwise, creating a talisman wouldn’t earn money. On the contrary, it would result in a loss. Of course, this applied only to the success rate of low-level basic talismans like amulets.

Now with this title, the success rate could be increased by 10%, which was a huge help. Moreover, he could use the Enlightenment effect of [Color is Void] to continuously increase his understanding of talisman templates, and thus, continue improving the success rate.

More importantly, the art of talisman crafting was now available on the panel, which meant he could upgrade by earning proficiency points.

Coming back to his senses, Lin Yi said to Xiao He, “Xiao He, thank you for your help in successfully crafting talismans.”

If there was no chance of Enlightenment due to temptation, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed so quickly.

“No, no, it’s because of Master Immortal’s astonishing talent, not much to do with me. Besides, it’s also my duty,” Xiao He hastily said, waving her hands.

Lin Yi quietly nodded, gathered up the tools for making talismans. His internal Spiritual Power was nearly depleted, it was time to start practicing martial arts.

The pause after the successful creation of talismans caused the temptation to gradually disappear as the title effect of [Color is Void] wore off. Thus, he waited until Xiao He’s temptation escalated before beginning his cultivation.
