Perhaps because he had the Wildfire Talisman as a foundation, Li Qingyuan found the Spirit Gathering Talisman, likewise drawn on Second-grade Mid-rank Talisman Paper, thirty percent easier to learn.
After using up just 150 sets of talisman-drawing materials, Li Qingyuan luckily succeeded once.
Afterward, he studied under the guidance of the Mysterious Feminine Space, and his talisman-drawing skill advanced by leaps and bounds.
After using up the final 50 sets of materials, his success rate for Spirit Gathering Talismans had neared ten percent, yielding nine successful talismans.
Added together, he had ten Spirit Gathering Talismans in total.
Li Qingyuan put away forty Wildfire Talismans and seven Spirit Gathering Talismans, smiling knowingly. "Three hundred sets of talisman-drawing materials, and only three Spirit Gathering Talismans succeeded on my first attempt. That's reasonable, isn't it?"
Achieving a one-percent success rate the first time he drew Second-grade Mid-rank Talisman Paper already made him quite formidable.
Going from zero to one was the true qualitative transformation, and also the most important beginning.
Once he broke through zero, all that remained was patient grinding. Even an ordinary talisman master, given enough talisman-drawing materials, could raise their success rate from "one percent" to ten percent, twenty percent... and gradually to fifty or sixty percent.
The reason Zheng Yuan could not become a Second-grade Mid-grade talisman master was that he could not break through that zero. It was like advanced mathematics—if he could not solve it, then he simply could not solve it.
After putting away the talismans, Li Qingyuan took out his pill furnace and alchemy materials.
"With my current alchemy skill, I should be able to refine Jade Spirit Pills."
Li Qingyuan first repeatedly meditated on the refining process for Jade Spirit Pills three times, then opened the furnace and began refining.
