"Verbal encouragement can also be prepared."

"With the dual stimulation of material and spiritual chicken soup, I don't believe they won't work hard!"

Zhang Wan secretly refined his cultivation plan in his heart.

Zhang Lingshu and Zhang Yan, looking at their elder brother whose mouth was about to curl up to his eyes, shivered. Such an evil smile was truly terrifying!

After finalizing the plan, Zhang Wan simply let go completely, no longer bothering with his second and third siblings, letting them cultivate on their own daily.

At the same time, every so often, he would reward the two of them based on their cultivation progress.

The rewards were not many, all useful but not of very high value.

Firstly, Zhang Wan himself was a pauper at this time, and it was not good to take out things he could show off; secondly, Zhang Lingshu and Zhang Yan were not yet settled. If he gave them too many good things, they would not be able to use them well and might even bring disaster upon themselves.

Of course, the first reason was the main one.

Even so, Zhang Lingshu and Zhang Yan were very happy.

During this period, Zhang Wan's cultivation also broke through to Postnatal Triple.

Previously, due to the situation in Fengliu Commandery, he was worried and used some EXP to raise his cultivation to the peak of Postnatal Double.

After that, although he did not use EXP to increase his cultivation again.

He had been cultivating diligently all along.

With the passage of time, he broke through from the peak of Postnatal Double to Postnatal Triple.

He became the third Postnatal Triple martial artist in their batch.

Xu Hui also followed closely, breaking through to Postnatal Triple, not letting Zhang Wan have all the glory.

Lin Fangyan was almost there.

His accumulation was still far behind Zhang Yan and Xu Hui. It was basically impossible for him to break through to Postnatal Triple before graduation.

Even so, having four students with Postnatal Triple cultivation in their batch was more than in previous years, and they could contend for first place with the strongest batches from the Beginner Martial Arts Academy.

After Zhang Wan broke through, many acquaintances came to congratulate him. After spending two days dealing with them, he closed his door and secluded himself in his courtyard to do his own things.

Although some people found it speechless, they did not think Zhang Wan was looking down on them.

Zhang Wan's diligence was well-known among his acquaintances.

He did not miss morning academic classes, and in the afternoon, he was either farming, watching or participating in arena wagered battles, and in the evening, if he occasionally passed by his small courtyard, he could see him guiding his sister and brother in their cultivation, sometimes holding a jade slip and meditating.

Such self-discipline and hard work made those who knew him tremble, feeling like they were about to be crushed by the competition.

When Zhang Wan secluded himself in his courtyard, the first thing others thought of was that this guy was starting to compete again!

Xu Hui heard the news, frowned, and turned back to his own small courtyard to cultivate diligently.

In fact, after Zhang Wan secluded himself in his courtyard, he was indeed busy improving himself, just as his acquaintances had thought.

However, it was not to improve his cultivation, but to enhance his overall combat strength.

He held a fragmented Talisman Master inheritance and used EXP to comprehend the entire inheritance.

But due to his cultivation and materials, he could only draw low-grade Postnatal fire talismans before.

Now that his cultivation had broken through to Postnatal Triple, he could try to draw mid-grade Postnatal fire talismans!

"Although the Dwarf Jade Bamboo talisman brush does not have a special inscription for talisman brushes, it can barely be used to draw mid-grade Postnatal fire talismans."

"Although the success rate is not high, the talisman brush, talisman paper, and talisman ink are all self-made. Excluding the time cost of cultivating spirit plants, the other costs are frighteningly low."

"Even if the success rate is low, as long as I can successfully draw one, it's a profit!"

Calming his mind, Zhang Wan picked up the talisman brush, soaked it in talisman ink, circulated his mana and divine sense, and drew a mid-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman on the talisman paper.

Even though he had long understood talismans and had experience drawing a large number of low-grade Postnatal Fireball Talismans.

He still only succeeded in drawing one mid-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman after failing four times!

It couldn't be helped. The talisman brush, talisman paper, and talisman ink were all made from low-grade Postnatal spirit plants, and Zhang Wan's cultivation was still only Postnatal Triple. Being able to draw one out of five successfully was already quite good.

After this day, another two days passed, and Zhang Wan had accumulated four mid-grade Postnatal Fireball Talismans in his hand.

The Fireball Talismans were temporarily sufficient, so Zhang Wan began to draw other fire talismans.

But just as he was about to start, the talisman brush made from Dwarf Jade Bamboo in his hand shattered.

He was not surprised.

It was made from artificially ripened Dwarf Jade Bamboo, so its quality was problematic. He had also been continuously drawing talismans, so it was no wonder the jade bamboo talisman brush broke.

In fact, this was already the third jade bamboo talisman brush he had scrapped.

He had already ruined two when he was drawing a large number of low-grade Postnatal fire talismans before.

Fortunately, he had mastered the extreme cultivation method and could continuously use Dwarf Jade Bamboo to make jade bamboo talisman brushes.

Otherwise, just buying talisman brushes would be a huge expense.

Adding talisman paper and talisman ink, tsk tsk, for an ordinary martial artist to grow into a qualified Talisman Master would surely lead to bankruptcy.

Zhang Wan also planned to go back to drawing low-grade Postnatal fire talismans after he had accumulated enough mid-grade Postnatal fire talismans.

With the resources in his hand, drawing low-grade postnatal fire talismans was the most cost-effective choice.

By the time Zhang Wan had accumulated over two hundred low-grade postnatal fire talismans and more than forty mid-grade postnatal fire talismans, the time had reached the latter half of the tenth academic year, with graduation drawing near.

After accumulating such a quantity of talismans, Zhang Wan stopped drawing them and began to process the pseudo spirit plants and low-grade postnatal spirit plants he had cultivated in his spirit land.

He sold what needed to be sold and kept what needed to be kept, and he returned the spirit land to the academy.

Zhang Wan's spirit stones also accumulated back to thirteen.

Six of these were cultivation resources issued by the sect in the latter half of the tenth academic year, one was won from an arena wagered battle, and six were earned from selling the pseudo spirit plants and spirit plants cultivated in the spirit land during the first and second halves of the tenth academic year.

Other income remained at its usual level.

Only the arena wagered battles sharply decreased.

It couldn't be helped. As Zhang Wan advanced to level ten and his cultivation broke through to Postnatal Triple Stage, only a few students in the academy could still compete with him.

Others wouldn't come looking for trouble for no reason, so his income naturally decreased significantly.

Zhang Wan didn't mind.

He had already gained enough benefits from the arena wagered battles and accumulated a large amount of practical combat experience.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't continue to earn spirit stones, if he truly wanted to obtain spirit stones now, he could sell the fire talismans in his hand and get a large amount of spirit stones at any time.

There was no need to fret over those few spirit stones.

The small courtyard where he lived would be taken over by his second sister after he left.

Zhang Wan gave all the spirit items and pseudo-spiritual items planted in the courtyard to his second and third siblings as cultivation resources.

As for whether they would sell them directly or cultivate them themselves for a steady income, that was up to them.

After all, he had taught them the cultivation methods for these spirit plants and pseudo spirit plants over the past few years.

Apart from the Vitality Catalysis Technique and Extreme Growth Technique, he had kept nothing else.

The two of them could cultivate them according to that spirit plant knowledge, it would just be slower, but they could still grow them.
