Of course, if one only considered the attack power, the cost of refining such a spirit talisman would definitely not be lower than that of a spirit weapon. Moreover, it was a one-time use item, so it was not as cost-effective as refining a spirit weapon.
The other method was to refine an empty spirit talisman and then infuse one's own martial arts technique or spell into it. Although the power would be reduced, the requirements would be much lower. It was more suitable for the current Ling Chuxi. It should be known that her grey abyss sword technique and nine Heavens lightning technique both had the power to challenge those of a higher level. Even if the power of the refined spirit talisman would be reduced, it was still not bad to give it to LAN Xinyu for self-defense.
