Mixed among the jungle vegetation, rocks and cracks in the ground are black-horned ant nests.

Black-horned ants can be seen everywhere in the mountains looking for food.

Dahei hid in the shade between some rocks, and ignored the tribesmen who were crawling past him.

Suddenly.

Boom! A roar sounded from deep under the mountain.

The dull sound caused the surrounding mountains to tremble violently, and the hill where the Anwen Cave was located had a scorching force that surged out from the depths of the earth and cracked the hill apart.

Dahei suddenly jumped out and looked in the direction of Anwen Cave.

"Master... Master... Explosion... The mountain exploded."

It rushed towards the cracked hill quickly, but the strong smell that was emanating from it overturned it.

“Ahem…”

Shen Lian rushed out from a black-horned ant nest not far away.

The robe fluttered in the air like a strip of cloth, his face and robe were all pitch black, and there was also a talisman for escaping underground whose spiritual power had not been completely consumed.

"Dahei, let your descendants monitor the area within a thousand miles."

"Pack your things and move now!"

After leaving a few words, Shen Lian turned around and rushed into the cracked mountain again.

Inside the 'Anwen Cave', a hole appeared in the operating second-order Five Elements Mysterious Spirit Trapping Array, and hot steam was coming out.

"Master, do you want to eat fish?"

In the small puddle, three thousand bright green little bodies were also stained with a layer of black smoke, and their eyes were full of helplessness.

How...why did it suddenly explode?

If its small puddle was not far away from Shen Lian's talisman-making room and the puddle was not a little deeper, the exploded Xuanling Jade Talisman would have been a semi-finished product and the energy of the explosion would have been sky-high, and it would have almost gone to see its grandmother.

"Hey, Sanqian, you can talk now."

Shen Lian glanced at Sanqian.

Just now.

He tried to blend the fire spiritual power blessed by the Tianyan Fire Domain and the top-grade spiritual ink to draw the Xuanling Jade Talisman.

At the beginning everything was perfect. With the divine mind controlling the overall situation, the spiritual pattern was steadily drawn into the jade talisman, outlining the patterns of the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman, but when one-third of it was drawn.

The fire spiritual power and spiritual ink collided, and sparks flew immediately.

At that time, Shen Lian held the talisman pen in his right hand and the spiritual ink in his left hand, and the earth-escaping talisman on his body suddenly lit up.

Although his escape speed was not slow, he was still affected a bit. Fortunately, he had the golden shield armor talisman on his body, so he only suffered some minor skin injuries.

Shen Lian looked at the Five Elements Mysterious Spirit Trapping Array with a hole in it. This array from Pei Huoyu was of the second-grade superior quality.

Only one third of the jade talisman was drawn when the destruction caused by the collision of spiritual power and spiritual liquid actually tore a hole in the formation.

Even if the hole is less than a foot in size.

All of this proves that his idea is correct. The fire spiritual power bestowed by the Tianyan Fire Domain can be added to the jade talisman to unleash even more powerful power.

After a moment, Shen Lian came back to his senses.

He put Sanqian into the spirit beast bracelet and quickly cleaned up everything in the cave. He activated and threw out water purification talismans one by one to eliminate the anger in the cave.

I can't stay here anymore.

The sound of the explosion was like thunder and could be heard from a long distance.

Although the fairy palace of Peng Kingdom only has the seventh level of Qi training, there is a golden elixir sect Qianfa Sect behind it.

His divine sense swept across the ruins of the cave, and Shen Lian put the rubble that was tainted with his fire spiritual power into his storage bag.

When the formation was dismantled, the entire cave collapsed.

In mid-air, Shen Lian sighed as he watched the small hill turn into a big pit.

Stability...unexpectedly, in the end, he himself became the source of instability.

I almost blew myself up.

"How's it going, is there anyone nearby?"

Shen Lian flew across the sky and found Dahei at the foot of another mountain.

"Master, I haven't noticed anything. This is deep in the mountains, and there are ordinary people around. I guess they wouldn't dare to come in even if they heard something."

Now, there are more than 500 black-horned demon ants under Dahei's command. Each of them controls the black-horned ants in a different area, and finally summarizes the information to Dahei.

Shen Lian nodded. The place he chose was deep in the mountains. There were only hunters from ordinary families living on the edge of the mountains. The explosion just now occurred underground, so the fluctuations were reduced a lot.

"Walk."

After collecting Dahei and its demonized offspring, Shen Lian fled into the distance.

Ordinary black-horned demon ants only rely on instinct and reproduce quickly, so it makes no difference whether they are harvested or not.

…

In the west of Qianwang Island, there is a dense archipelago next to the main island. The waves on the island are very strong, and only a few fishermen live in this area.

Inside the new safe cave.

It is located in an underground cave, with mountains and water alternating between them.

Shen Lian placed the Xiaoxuanshan Sea Covering Formation he bought in the cave.

As for the previous Five Elements Mysterious Spirit Killing Formation, there was a small hole in it and a few formation plates had minor problems, but it was still usable and was arranged by him on the periphery.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

Dahei came close to the water and knocked on Sanqian's head with his pliers.

"Don't worry, the master won't eat you."

Sanqian washed away the anger in his body, still holding two Soul-Feeding Pills in his mouth, with lingering fear in his eyes.

Shen Lian walked over and gently tapped Sanqian's head. He had already checked it and found that Sanqian had suffered a minor impact like him and was not seriously injured.

It was also the little guy's luck, as he was so scared like Dahei that he spoke in advance.

"Master, I have finished chewing the talisman-making platform."

Seeing Shen Lian coming over, Dahei spoke in a servile manner.

"You're not bad either."

Shen Lian also knocked on Dahei's head.

"Go ahead, check the island and the sea to see what the surrounding environment is like."

After letting Dahei and Sanqian leave, Shen Lian sat down cross-legged.

Now there is still a piece of Xuanling Jade Marrow left in my hand. Should I continue to draw the jade talisman step by step, or continue with the previous failed experiment?

Five thousand spirit stones, and nothing happened. This price is too expensive.

But thinking about the power of the jade talisman after adding ingredients, Shen Lian felt it was worth it.

This time, I will first harmonize the spiritual ink and fire spiritual power, find the critical point for the coexistence of the two, and then start drawing the jade talisman.

For two months, Shen Lian set aside part of his time every day to use his fire spiritual power to nourish the spiritual ink.

At present, he doesn’t know how to use the magical powers of Tianyan Fire Domain independently. Every time he uses the fire spiritual power, the fire domain magical powers will be integrated with the fire spiritual power.

After two months of nurturing, a faint golden hue appeared in the spiritual ink, and its aura was more than 50% stronger than before.

However, Shen Lian was not satisfied. When the Tianyan Fire Domain first appeared, he used the first-level fire spirit technique, and the power it unleashed was comparable to the attack power of a third-level foundation-building cultivator.

The increased power is not just three or five times, but more than ten times.

In the following time, he continued to nourish the spiritual ink with his own fire spiritual power, and Shen Lian stopped only when the pressure in the spiritual ink became three times stronger than at the beginning.

He sensed that this spiritual ink had reached its limit, and its power would not increase if it was nurtured any further.

At this time, fourteen months had passed since the beginning of nurturing.

The spiritual ink had become compatible with his own spiritual power, so Shen Lian took out the Xuanling Jade Marrow and prepared to continue drawing the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Jade Talisman.

Before he made the talisman this time, he removed the Xiaoxuanshan Fuhai Formation in the cave. He wanted to break the Five Elements Trapping Killing Formation, but didn't want to destroy the remaining intact formations.

Before he started drawing, he pasted the earth escape talisman and the golden armor talisman just in case.

The talisman pen was dipped in spiritual ink that was tinged with fiery energy, and Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts also attached to the tip of the pen and fell on the chalcedony.

The tip of the pen moved, and smooth lines outlined spiritual patterns inside the chalcedony, first blood-red, then turning into red, and then a golden arc was reflected in the red.

When all the runes were completed in the jade talisman, a red flame with a golden glow ignited, and a little electric light appeared in the flame.

“Buzz——”

A breath of destruction surged out from the pale golden flame that was derived from the lightning, and the rising breath made the formation emit a buzzing sound.

The second-stage enhanced version of the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Jade Talisman is done!

Shen Lian sensed the aura emanating from the jade talisman and took out the jade talisman that he had successfully drawn before.

In comparison, the aura of the enhanced jade talisman is several times stronger than that of the ordinary jade talisman.

The grade of the Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talisman is of the second-grade lower grade. Shen Lian used the second-grade upper-grade spiritual ink and the Xuanling Jade Talisman as a carrier, making its grade reach between the second-grade middle and upper grades, and its power is around the seventh level of foundation building.

But after being strengthened again, its power is probably no less than the ninth level of foundation building. It is unknown how powerful it is, but it is a pity that there is no fake Dan boss to let him explode.

Grasping the red jade talisman with a gold edge, Shen Lian repeatedly sensed the internal structure. With the blessing of Tianyan's Fire Domain magical power, the same thunder and fire runes in the jade talisman had a hint of Taoist charm.

"Um--"

In a flash, the gold-rimmed jade talisman disappeared from his hand and sank into his body.

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment. He picked up an ordinary jade talisman and tried, but found that it could not penetrate into his body.

After some attempts, he discovered that the gold-rimmed jade talisman that entered his body could autonomously absorb the fire spiritual power in his body.

"this……"

Shen Lian showed a hint of joy.

According to the talisman-containing technique in the talisman inheritance, if one wants to increase the power of the jade talisman, one needs to place a talisman sequence of the same kind of talismans for nourishment.

Then, use the method of sacrifice to absorb it into the body.

But now this step has been omitted and the energy is directly taken into the body for nourishment. The only price is that using the energy as nourishment may delay cultivation.

This requires careful planning to see if we can find a suitable method that will not interfere with our practice while nourishing the jade talisman.

Wait until it is nurtured to the third level...

Shen Lian paced in the cave, rubbing his hands, and then sat down cross-legged.

With a wave of his hand, the second-grade low-grade spiritual ink he had purchased earlier appeared in his hand.

If these spiritual inks are blessed by the Tianyan Fire Domain, then the power of the second-grade low-grade talismans drawn will also be enhanced.

He was not greedy for more, and it would be enough for him to use the lower-grade second-level talismans as mid-grade ones. By then, the power of the entire talisman sequence formation would reach the power of the eighth or even ninth level of foundation building.

Prepare ten sets and throw them out. Even if the pill is fake, it can be exploded into a pill.

That night, Shen Lian first relocated the formation he had put away, then sat cross-legged in the training room and began to refine the medicinal power, while also regulating his breathing and consuming spiritual power.

But today's thoughts put him into an excited state of seeking knowledge.

In the second half of the night, he fell into a state similar to "sitting and forgetting".
