Under the abundant vital energy of the monster beast's meat, the cultivation speed of the Diamond Sutra has accelerated considerably, and the improvement in proficiency was much faster than yesterday.
With time, Lin Yi consumed four to five pounds of monster beast meat. After refining it, the proficiency of the Diamond Sutra increased to 89 points. During this period, he also achieved an enlightenment, which deepened his understanding of the Diamond Sutra, making his cultivation speed faster.
Under the refining of the Diamond Sutra, the monster beast meat turned into nutrients to strengthen his body, so he did not feel full.
After some thought, Lin Yi decided to make a concerted effort to break through to the next stage of the Diamond Sutra. So he ate some more monster beast meat and resumed cultivation. Soon, the proficiency reached 99. He did not stop and continued to run the Diamond Sutra's technique.
In a short while, under the effect of [Color is Void], he achieved enlightenment again, easily breaking through the bottleneck of the Diamond Sutra. A pop-up window appeared before his eyes, "[Diamond Sutra] Experience +1; [Newbie] Experience +5."
Looking at the Diamond Sutra that had reached the proficiency level, Lin Yi tried to cultivate again. There seemed to be no changes in the technique. He stretched lazily, and the bones of his entire body made a noise. He casually threw a few punches, finding that his strength had increased significantly.
This made him somewhat emotional. Indeed, the effects of body refinement show up immediately, while cultivation belongs to the internal family, emphasizing enlightenment and freedom and expressing the power of cultivators through immortal techniques.
Looking at the newcomer experience in the pop-up window, as he had guessed, in the field of martial arts, after breaking through the beginner stage, one could only get 5 points of experience.
Afterwards, Lin Yi looked at the time. More than four hours had passed. Looking at the somewhat tired Xiao He, he thought for a moment and decided to stop work and go home.
After all, the other guests only needed to lie in bed, and their physical exertion was not great. However, his cultivation needed continuous temptation stimulation to maintain the activation of the title effect, resulting in greater consumption.
Unlike those girls with proud capital who would probably just tempt for a while and then start to slack off.
"Miss Xiao He, let's end today's cultivation here, thank you." Lin Yi immediately stood up and thanked Xiao He with a bow.
"Immortal Master, I still have strength. You can cultivate a little longer." Xiao He forced herself to speak.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "No need, you rest well, I will come again tonight."
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your pity. Let me see you out." Xiao He gratefully said and then gently held Lin Yi's arm to send him off.
When leaving, Lin Yi saw Yu Niang and said, "Yu Niang, I will come again tonight. Don't let Xiao He entertain other customers."
"Master Lin, don't worry. We will definitely reserve her for you." Yu Niang said with a smile. Xiao He used to be a losing business with very few customers in a month. Now with Lin Yi as a regular customer, that's an income of two and a half spirit stones a month.
After leaving Xun Fang Pavilion, Lin Yi took a carriage home. His face was calm and composed, but his heart was filled with joy, for today's gains were tremendous.
The Geng Metal Finger and the Diamond Sutra both made breakthroughs. In addition, his successful talisman crafting gave him another way to make money. Becoming proficient in talisman crafting was much more enjoyable than farming.
However, it may earn less in the beginning because the Liu Yun Sect has tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, and even if not a thousand, at least eight hundred have learned to craft talismans, which leads to a saturated market for low-tier talisman templates.
For instance, many talisman masters first learn to craft amulets, the lowest market price of which has reached 55 spiritual pearls each. The cost for the materials to make 100 talisman templates is twenty spirit stones, meaning the base cost price has reached twenty spiritual pearls each.
Adding in the 50% success rate at a beginner's level, that's forty spiritual pearls, and an amulet can only earn fifteen spiritual pearls in the end. This doesn't even account for the consumed spiritual power.
However, most outer sect disciples craft talismans for their own convenience and to earn a little extra money, so whether they earn more or less, it's some pocket money.
After returning home, Lin Yi took out the hard-earned amulet and listened to the occasional dog barks from next door, his face filled with a vision of the future.
As long as he had spirit stones, he could enhance his cultivation levels faster. Much like under the effect of [Color is Void], overcoming the bottleneck problem was only a matter of time.
...
Time passed and a month quickly flew by. In the Outer Sect Spiritual Field Plantation Area of the Liu Yun Sect, the Spirit Rice was full of grains, slowly turning yellow, and it was only about half a month away from maturity.
Many spirit farmers wore happy expressions on their faces; after all, they were about to reap what they had worked for over half a year. They finally had resources to speed up the improvement of their cultivation levels.
The face of Lin Yi was also full of smiles. This was his first harvest since coming to the Cultivation World. With the bonus effect from the title of [Little Farmer], his Spirit Rice was slightly fuller than those of others.
During this month, he had been shuttling between his spiritual field and Qing Yun City, practicing cultivation while earning spirit stones by crafting talismans. The powerful effects of his title had brought another round of improvement to all of his skills.
He opened the system panel, looking at this month's gains, feeling extremely excited.
