The sea outside Yuanyan Fairy City.
An unknown island, a safe and secure hole number six.
Under the cover of night, the tiny and inconspicuous black-horned ants gazed at the sky and sea illuminated by the moonlight. Sometimes they picked their teeth with their two front paws and shook their heads to dispel boredom.
The sky is high, the land is vast, and the sea breeze is gentle.

Shen Lian, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, was like a motionless statue, listening to the sounds in the dark.
It was not until dawn that the sound echoing in the sea of consciousness slowly faded away.
Shen Lian opened and closed his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual thoughts surged out like a tide, covering the island.
His divine consciousness extended all the way out, reaching one thousand six hundred and ninety feet, before it reached its limit. At this moment, ripples appeared in his sea of divine consciousness, and a slight pain arose.
Immediately, ripples derived from the sea of divine consciousness swept across the body, causing a tingling sensation and making the whole person dizzy.
It was a good idea to cultivate with Qian Dai's help, so Shen Lian also got three early and middle stage second-order monsters in the past two years, and used them to cultivate the secret method of refining blood and generating souls.
The result was that the spiritual power grew so strong that the physical body could no longer sustain it.
The fourth level of foundation building has a divine consciousness close to one thousand seven hundred feet.
Shen Lian didn't dare to ask other fellow practitioners how much spiritual power they had.
How do you feel about my 1,700-foot divine thought? It is useless to ask people of the same level. A high-level Jindan cultivator cannot find a channel, and he dare not ask even if someone recommends him.
If you want to solve the problem that the physical body cannot carry the divine thoughts, it is very simple. You just need to polish the physical body more.
"call……"
Shen Lian slowly stood up and stretched his muscles, then he withdrew his mind bit by bit. After stabilizing his mind again, he shook his body and dived deep into the earth.
Inside the Anwen Cave No. 7.
Thunder and fire intertwined, and the aura was like a suppressed volcano, emitting a strong breath of destruction.
There are seventy-two No. 3 Tianyan Jade Talismans, thirty-six of which are embedded in the rock walls around the Tiandong Mansion, and the other thirty-six are suspended in the air in an interlaced manner.
Wisps of lightning and fire emanated from Jade Talisman No. 3, forming a red and purple lightning and fire mist, which slowly sank into Jade Talisman No. 1 in the middle.
The energy of thunder and fire rolled and continuously impacted the surroundings of the cave, but was blocked by a colorful formation that enveloped the cave.
Second-grade superior five-element small forbidden formation.
This formation can be used to isolate one's own aura, and to restrict the opponent's spiritual energy and spell power, and it also has three methods of attack.
The power of the No. 2 Tianyan Jade Talisman is comparable to that of the third level, not to mention the No. 1 Tianyan Jade Talisman plus seventy-two No. 3 Jade Talismans.
The effect of the second-grade superior Five Elements Minor Forbidden Rule was simply unable to completely isolate the aura that nourished Jade Talisman No. 1.
For this reason, Shen Lian, who has been promoted to the second-level superior formation master, creatively affixed talismans and plasters with small five-element mutual generation talismans to the formation.
This talisman can form a five-element talisman formation on its own to assist cultivators with the five spiritual roots in their practice. It can also bless the spirit gathering formation and the five-element formation.
On the twelve array bases of the Five Elements Small Forbidden Formation, a group of small Five Elements Mutual Generation Talisman Arrays were arranged respectively, which increased the power of this second-grade superior array to at least the quasi-third-grade level.
As the five elements' aura circulates, it absorbs the scattered five elements' qi, and after being decomposed by the five elements' circulation force, it becomes one of the auxiliary energies for the operation of the formation.
Shen Lian's power is unique. Why is it said to be quasi-third level? Mainly because he has not experienced actual combat, so he cannot judge the extent of its power.
The divine consciousness wandered in the cave, checking the status of each jade talisman, and replaced those that consumed energy too quickly or too slowly and could not be in the same range as the overall jade talisman energy.
After doing all this, Shen Lian disappeared back into the cave.
Safe and stable Cave No. 8.
This is where the No. 2 Tianyan Jade Talisman is nurtured.
Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and the same Tianyan Jade Talisman cannot be kept in the same cave for cultivation. The caves must be kept at a distance from each other.
From Anwen Cave No. 8 to Anwen Cave No. 12, they are all the places where the No. 2 Tianyan Jade Talisman is nurtured, and they are distributed all around the island.
Shen Lian estimated that if all the jade talismans exploded, the entire island would not sink, but at least half of it should be enough.
Nurturing six Tianyan Jade Talismans at once is the limit of what he can currently control. If there are more, he will not be able to retrieve the jade talismans quickly if an accident occurs.
After a walk, Shen Lian returned to the cave.
It has become a habit for him recently to practice every day and check the nourishment status of the jade talisman.
In the past few years in Yuanyan Sea, he lived a very comfortable life, earning spirit stones, collecting medicinal herbs and spiritual objects, and also reaping the sounds coming from the unknown.
Such days of cultivation are very pleasant.
But Shen Lian also knew in his heart that even mortals would encounter family disputes and even fights with neighbors, so it would be impossible for the path of cultivating immortals to be peaceful and stable forever.
He leaned comfortably on the wide couch that Dahei had carved out and covered with a thick robe as a cushion, and closed his eyes to take a nap.

——Expand——
【Insights: 6521】
【Divine enlightenment point: 23】
This is the result of these years.
He planned to accumulate enough divine enlightenment points and then raise the earth spirit root scale to perfection in one go.
Except for the fact that their realms did not improve, the formation masters and beast tamers had all improved, especially in the formation. With the help of talismans, they raised the second-grade top-quality formation to the third-grade category.
After being promoted to the fourth level of foundation building, the speed of cultivation became slightly slower than before. However, for Shen Lian, this slight difference was nothing at all. He usually ate high-quality pills.
I have been collecting medicine like crazy during this period...mainly to help fellow Taoists solve the problem of medicine shortage. I have to open the furnace to refine medicine at least five or six times a month. In addition, I also have to spend time making spiritual ink, talismans, etc., so I have less time for cultivation.
Although his realm has not been improved, for Shen Lian, the foundation he has accumulated is already catching up with that of a Jindan Zhenren.
Even an ordinary Jindan Zhenren may not have as many resources accumulated as he does.
A total of 173 pieces of herbal materials for three commonly used foundation-building elixirs, namely, Juling Pill, Zhenling Pill, and Huiyuan Pill, have been accumulated.
There are forty-six portions of various uncommon elixir medicinal materials, including the Sanbao Pills for Replenishing Qi, the Xuanyuan Pills, the Huayu Pills, the Shuihuan Pills, the Jinhuan Pills, the Yuanshen Pills, etc.
In addition, there are 32 other second-grade medium-quality medicinal herbs and 3 second-grade high-quality medicinal herbs.
These herbs are not specific to refining a certain type of elixir. After being mixed and combined, they can also be used as auxiliary medicines for second-grade, medium-grade and high-grade elixirs. Some of them can even be used in third-grade elixirs.
Two sets of main and auxiliary medicines for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill were also collected. One set was missing a suitable demon core, and the other set was missing a heavenly spirit fruit.
Two sets of second-level medium-grade five-element spiritual objects, two second-level high-grade five-element spiritual objects, Cang Linghai Pearls, and one golden-eyed jade fruit.
As for the talismans, there is one large No. 1 jade talisman, twenty-six No. 2 jade talismans, a pile of No. 3, and a pile of No. 4.
There is also an upgraded puppet jade talisman, but currently only the fire element has reached the concept. If you want to collect all five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, you have to wait until the five elements of spiritual roots are complete.
In terms of formations, the main attack is two and a half sets of the Five Elements Small Forbidden Formations. Why half a set? The main reason is that the materials for the third set have not been gathered yet.
As for puppets, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet has not been upgraded in the past few years, but Shen Lian has upgraded the formations that were inserted into the spirit puppet to eighty thousand, making it easier to control, and the maximum distance has reached three thousand two hundred feet.
The ordinary puppet added a second-stage early stage sea-swallowing dragon fish, mainly because the complete corpse of the monster is hard to find.
There was still one intact corpse of the cultivator inherited from Pei Huoyu.
As for magical instruments, he found a broken defensive third-grade spiritual treasure, the Nine Mysterious Golden Umbrella. Although it was broken, it was just right. With his divine sense, he could just control the umbrella.
Because of this Nine Profound Golden Umbrella, Shen Lian still owes Qian Dai a large amount of Happy Pills.
In terms of poisons, based on the previous Bailing Poison, he further innovated and developed an enlarged version of the Qianling Poison.
Currently, the main ingredient of this poison is the second-grade top-grade golden-eyed ring-patterned demon spider, but the fire nature of this poisonous spider is too strong, and Shen Lian is not satisfied with the power of the poison.
In his conception, since the five elements are mutually generated and restrained, he plans to develop a five-element poison. The five poisons are blended together. If they are mutually generated, they are non-toxic, but if they are mutually restrained, they are highly toxic.
This way, we don’t even need to research the antidote.
He would release the poison in critical moments and even if they entered the poison circle together, he could still run out alive and well.
This is why Shen Lian has not practiced well in the past few years. He has put a lot of thought into formulating four sets of attack and defense methods: talismans, formations, poisons, and puppets.
That's all. It's only a preliminary completion of the previous buying strategy, and it can also ensure that you can escape unscathed from the early stage of the Golden Core.
It’s not that Shen Lian doesn’t want to continue shopping, but Qian Dai’s potential has reached this point, and he has almost exhausted it in the past few years.
Inside the cave, he touched Dahei's head, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Now that he has the means to compete with Jindan cultivators, it becomes difficult for him to continue accumulating foundation. It’s not that he doesn’t want to continue accumulating, but mainly because the environment does not allow it.
In the Wanxinghai area, mid-grade second-level spiritual objects are relatively common, but high-grade second-level spiritual objects are hard to find, whether they are raw materials or magical tools.
Even here at Qian Dai's place, second-grade, top-quality spiritual objects don't appear often.
If you want a second-grade, top-quality spiritual object, you still have to search and hunt it yourself.
Therefore, in the next two to three years, the focus should be on improving your cultivation.
The first step is to find a suitable method to improve the physical body.
Otherwise, after breaking through the fifth level of foundation building, the spiritual power will continue to increase, and by then it is possible that the spiritual power will be too strong for the physical body to bear.
In fact, in the world of cultivating immortals, there is a path of physical cultivation.
In ancient times, spiritual creatures were everywhere in the world, and there were many monks who practiced both magic and body, and they could even reach a very high level.
In the Middle Ages, physical cultivation still flourished for a period of time.
But that was also the last afterglow.
The last batch of powerful physical cultivators created all the spiritual essences of heaven and earth that were suitable for physical cultivation in the world of immortal cultivation, and also blocked the way for those who came later.
Nowadays, resources are insufficient, and there are no serious physical cultivators anymore. Those glorious physical cultivation sects and inheritances have lost even their names.
In short, now that the natural treasures are gone, no one can play with them anymore.
Nowadays, it's not that there are no people who temper their muscles, bones, flesh, and internal organs, and take the path of "physical cultivation", but they all do it to practice some kind of secret method, like Shen Lian, who has a strong mind, strengthens the body, etc.
But without the body-building treasures suitable for physical cultivation, it is just a formality.
Shen Lian just wanted to temper his body at the same time, so that his body would not collapse due to his strong spiritual power. He chose the path of "physical cultivation" without considering what era this was.
Our predecessors in the Middle Ages did not think so much when they cut off the path for their descendants.
Well... maybe the next era will become the Dharma Ending Age, and there will be cultivators who will feel the same way and cry out in anger as he does.
"Let's go and see how Sanqian is doing."
In the newly opened spirit beast room, Sanqian was still sleeping. The second-stage initial stage demon pill that was full of small holes had almost been completely absorbed.
After carefully checking Sanqian's condition, Shen Lian nodded. The energy of a second-stage early stage demon pill had been completely absorbed, but Sanqian had not yet awakened, which meant that the blood power in his body was stronger.
After a few days, if this demon pill is completely absorbed and Sanqian has not awakened, he plans to take out the second-stage mid-stage demon pill in his hand and give it to Sanqian.
Compared to allowing Sanqian to be promoted to the second level, Shen Lian values his potential after stimulating his bloodline. After all, even if Sanqian is promoted to the second level now, it will not be of much use to him.
He looked at Sanqian, then at his big black son standing on his shoulder, and sighed.
This unfortunate child's bloodline is extremely poor. I wonder how many times more than three thousand resources are needed to cultivate him.
Back in the training room, Shen Lian threw Dahei out to keep watch.
He sat cross-legged again. It would take some time to nurture the remaining Tianyan Jade Talisman, so he would have to stay on this deserted island for a short period of time.
…
Sea Breeze Thunder.
The dilapidated old ship is still sailing along the old route.
"The minimum consumption for this game is four spirit stones. Give face to the heavens, and to... my old man who is at the peak of the middle and late stages of the Golden Core."
After the hawking on the deck, a small barter session will begin in the quiet room of the spirit ship.
When there were no other cultivators in the quiet room, the maid Mo'er waved her hand and the seventh-floor communication spirit tree appeared in front of Qian Dai.
The communication talisman with Master Lu's name on it that was previously hung on the bottom layer has now been hung on the third layer.
On the third layer, there are more than fifty jade talismans.
"Buzz."
At this moment, one of the three purple jade symbols on the top of the treasure tree lit up.
Qian Dai, who had been silent with his eyes narrowed, suddenly perked up.
