Ao Shi blessed land.
Shigui Mountain, this is the cave where Shen Lian rented.
The names of the caves in this blessed land are either "turtle" or "earth turtle", just like a group of turtles having a meeting.
Inside the cave.
Shen Lian was looking at the gains from the auction, the fragments of the Dayan Escape Technique and the raw stone of the Xuanling Jadeite, all of which were what he had in mind.
As for the pets he kept, he had long forgotten about them.
No matter what you say or how much you quarrel, your life is the most important.
If Shen Lian really wants to kill Qi Chengzan, he will have to think twice.
After all, there is an old devil behind Qi Chengzan.
Who wouldn't be afraid of a guy who dared to stir up trouble in the Wanxing Sea without any scruples? Anyway, he was timid.
You should stay away from such people when it thunders, otherwise you may get struck by lightning.
Ao Shi Fairy City is nice, and he wants to bring more happiness to his fellow Taoists here.
Shen Lian estimated that Qi Chengzan would soon leave Ao Shi Immortal City.
What's going on when the head of a family is always hanging around outside?
I have been following him since I started on Liuxian Island, and it has been more than ten months.
I don’t want to go home.
Qi Chengzan came to Xiancheng most likely to attend the auction.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly rushed to snatch attack talismans and related elixirs at the auction.
Now that the auction is over, it’s time to go home after being away for so long.
By keeping the blood bean worms, you can also observe in real time whether they leave or not.
Shen Lian still didn't believe it. If he stayed in the city forever, would Qi Chengzan be able to outlast him?
…
"It seems that I should participate more in the auctions in Daxian City in the future."
His spiritual thoughts immersed in the jade slip, carefully savoring the mystery of the jade slip's internal escape technique.
Compared to the several five elements escape techniques acquired during Qi training, the mysteries in the jade slips are much more profound.
After half an hour, Shen Lian reluctantly put down the remaining scroll of the Dayan Escape Technique and picked up the Xuanling Jadeite stone.
The surface of this raw stone is rough, and you can see mineral spots inside.
When cutting, you need to remove the areas with mineral spots. Otherwise, when drawing the talisman, it will cause the talisman to be not smooth enough, and then... bang...
It’s no big deal if it explodes while drawing, but I’m afraid it will explode in my dantian.
Although Shen Lian had never cut the raw stone of Xuanling Jadeite, it was not difficult.
Mobilize the power of divine consciousness and compress it into a knife shape, then cut the Xuanling Jadeite raw stone. It is very simple.
Ten days later, Shen Lian sat cross-legged with a tired look on his face. In front of him were the cut pieces of Xuanling Jadeite and some remaining waste.
In order to ensure that enough jade pieces were cut out, he cut them in irregular shapes. Some were rectangular, some were polygonal, in order to avoid black mineral spots.
A total of two intact pieces of Xuanling Jadeite were cut out, plus one hundred and twenty-seven small jade pieces.
Generally speaking, the range is about one inch in length and one inch in width.
If he had not practiced the Forging Silk Method in the Wanling Immortal Puppet Technique, it would have been difficult to sharpen his spiritual thoughts into the shape of a knife.
After putting away the cut jade talisman, Shen Lian rested for more than half a month before he recovered. He found that the strength of his spiritual power had increased by six feet compared to before, reaching eight hundred and sixty-six feet.
After taking a Spirit Gathering Pill and slowly refining it, he took out a small piece of jade from his storage bag.
In the world of cultivating immortals, talismans above the third level are rarely made of animal skins. Some use talisman paper made of spiritual wood, and some use jade similar to the Xuanling Jadeite.
When you reach the fourth level...hunt down fourth level monsters and skin them to make talisman paper. Are you stupid enough?
Just think about it, by knowing how many Nascent Souls there are in the human race, you can know how many fourth-level monsters there are.
Except for the powerful Nascent Soul ancestors who are capable of hunting down fourth-order monsters, those with weaker strength are lucky if they are not swallowed by fourth-order monsters.
Why don't you just be a Yuanying ancestor? Why do you want to play with the demon tribe?
Stroking the jade piece in his hand, Shen Lian waved his hand and took out three bottles of spiritual ink.
They are respectively second-grade lower grade, second-grade middle grade, and second-grade lower grade Tianyan Lingmo.
Since only the fire spiritual power has been comprehended to comprehend the Tianyan Fire Domain at present, all the spiritual inks also nourish fire energy, and the main talismans used are also biased towards fire.
Only after the five elements are complete can you draw the Tianyan talisman with all five elements.
The size of the Xuanling Jade represents the number of talismans and runes it carries, and the number of runes is related to the amount of spiritual power stored.
Looking at the second-grade intermediate spiritual ink and the lower-grade Tianyan spiritual ink on the talisman-making table, Shen Lian scratched his head.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have nurtured the lower-grade second-level ink. Although the jade piece is small, it is a concentrated essence of heaven and earth, and can fully carry the second-grade upper-grade Tianyan Lingmo that has been nurtured.
It's a bit of a waste to use the second-grade superior Tianyan Lingmo for the small jade piece, but it should be fine to use the second-grade mid-grade one.
Thinking of this, Shen Lian took out his alchemy furnace and shrunk it to half a foot in size.
He casually performed a cleaning spell, then poured the second-grade inferior Tianyan Lingmo and the middle-grade Lingmo into it, and stirred it with his fingers.
Perfect, and it feels like a toothpick stirring a large vat.
In the perception of divine consciousness, the two grades of spiritual ink merged together, and the aura was greatly improved compared to the previous medium-grade spiritual ink.
It was also fortunate that the lower-grade second-level spiritual ink had been nurtured in the Tianyan Fire Domain, otherwise, it would not have had much effect if it was integrated into the middle-grade second-level spiritual ink.
Shen Lian was not very satisfied with the mixed spiritual ink. He continued to use his spiritual power to nourish the spiritual ink.
…
Ten days later.
The first simplified version of the Tianyan Jade Talisman was successfully drawn.
Shen Lian held the small jade piece in his hand with a burning gaze, and began to compare it with the talisman in his own hand.
After some comparison, the power of the small jade talisman should be around the seventh level of foundation building, which is similar to the ordinary jade talisman that has not been nurtured before.
They are all made of Xuanling Jade Marrow. Small jade talismans can also be nurtured in the Dantian, and their power can be further enhanced to the eighth and ninth levels of foundation building.
However, the size of the small jade talisman limits its upper limit of nourishment, and it should not be able to reach the power of an ordinary jade talisman fake pill.
This was also the problem that Shen Lian had to deal with when he cut it himself. The pot of the Xuanling Jadeite raw stone was full of mineral impurities, which limited the size of the jade slices that could be cut.
In order to cut out more jade pieces, he could only cut them into small and irregular sizes.
But it’s not a big problem. What Shen Lian needs is this level of attack power.
Even if it is not nurtured, it can form a Three Fires Returning to the Mountain Talisman Array consisting of thirty-six talismans and a Four Pillars Thunder and Fire Talisman Array consisting of twenty-four talismans, and their power is almost comparable to that of fake elixirs.
He even used 108 small jade talismans to form the Tianyan Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Evils Thunder and Fire Talisman Formation.
If the jade talisman is not big enough and does not have enough power to carry, use a talisman array to make up for it.
Daoists who are at the seventh to ninth levels of foundation building are in luck! In this way, the attack methods of talismans from foundation building to golden elixir level have been initially fully covered.
Be humble, fellow Taoists at or below the level of Jiadan are blessed.
Seniors in the Jindan stage, please wait a little longer, it will be soon. Come, take your number and line up.
After being excited for a while, Shen Lian calmed down.
If the Small Tianyan Jade Talisman is drawn successfully, it can form a sequence talisman array to nourish the Large Tianyan Jade Talisman, and his Dantian can relax in the future.
The probability of Dantian exploding has further decreased, which is cause for celebration.
After adjusting his breath, Shen Lian took out a new piece of jade and prepared to draw all the jade pieces in one go.
…
When Shen Lian was busy doing something important.
Outside Ao Shi City.
In a large room as dark as ink, there is a small house inside that is like a secret compartment.
In some secret compartments, monks wearing loose black robes were communicating quietly.
“Hehe…Fellow Daoist, although this is a broken talisman and has major flaws, it is comparable to a strike from an ordinary fake Dan Zhenren. However, it is a rare item, and I will not give it to an ordinary person.”
Qi Chengzan, shrouded in a black robe, squinted his eyes and said nothing.
He had already conducted a preliminary inspection of the broken talisman, and found that it did have some problems and needed a blood sacrifice to activate it, but otherwise it was fine.
The price premium is just too great.
The old guys here are really good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
"Seventy thousand spirit stones, no bargaining."
"Is 70,000 spirit stones expensive for a means of saving one's life?"
Qi Chengzan had a gloomy face. He wanted this broken talisman, but he didn't have enough spirit stones in his pocket.
Seventy thousand spirit stones are ridiculously expensive, but compared to my life, spirit stones are nothing.
"Fellow Daoist, please think about this carefully."
An old smiling face appeared opposite Qi Chengzan. He had finally met a sucker, and his knife had been sharpened to a shine.
If not you, then who.
…
After returning from the black market, Qi Chengzan looked gloomy all the time.
The black market of Ao Shi Xian City is deeply involved with Xuan Hai Sect, so even if he wants to rob it, he doesn't have the ability to do so.
Seventy thousand spirit stones. Could it be that the guy running the black market is a robber cultivator who has changed his career?
A talisman that is as powerful as a fake pill is hard to come by, so the price is secondary.
Qi Chengzan raised his palm, and a swollen little bean worm was twisting in his palm.
He didn't have enough spirit stones, and he didn't dare to steal them on the black market.
But some people have spirit stones.
Thinking about how he, the dignified head of a family, couldn't even take out 70,000 spirit stones after selling all his assets, and how he casually threw 90,000 spirit stones away to buy garbage when he was just building the second level of a small foundation.
Qi Chengzan's eyes grew colder.
Three days later.
In Ao Shi blessed land, Qi Chengzan changed his appearance and moved into a cave.
Two thousand spirit stones a month, he was absolutely reluctant to live there before.
If you are not willing to spend small money, how can you make big money?
After settling down in the cave.
Qi Chengzan climbed to the top of Dongfu Mountain and looked out in the distance.
After searching for a while, his eyes stopped on a small hill in the distance that contained another cave.
"Is this the one?"
In the palm of my hand, the blood bean worm trembled slightly.
It is impossible to sense the other party with spiritual thoughts at such a long distance, but the blood bean worms can sense each other through the power of blood.
After taking another look from a distance, Qi Chengzan returned to the cave and activated the cave formation.
Then, he gently cut open the palm of his hand.
Ao Shi Fairy City is ruled by a Jindan Zhenren, but he lives in a palace in the north of the city.
Ao Shi blessed land is in the eastern part of the city. Even if a Jindan Zhenren comes here, he will not forcibly spy on every cave where the formation is operating unless he encounters a special situation.
A faint smell of blood permeated the palm of my hand.
Qi Chengzan quickly took out a pile of spirit stones, placed his palm between the spirit stones, and smashed the spirit stones into a spirit mist.
"It's been so many days, and you still haven't come out. I curse you to come out."
After casting the spell for a quarter of an hour, seeing that the smell of blood was about to overflow from the spiritual mist, Qi Chengzan immediately stopped his actions.
After erasing the traces, start again the next day.
Finally, five days later, a blood bean worm with a transparent body appeared and gradually became ethereal.
Qi Chengzan carefully put it into the jade bottle. One blood bean worm was not enough.
…
Two months later.
Shen Lian, who was hiding in the cave, finally drew the jade pieces in his hands into a small-sized Tianyan Jade Talisman.
The cost of this batch of jade pieces is cheaper than mid-grade talisman paper.
The only small problem was that the jade pieces were irregular when cut, which resulted in different power after the talisman was drawn, resulting in small fluctuations.
These jade talismans with varying powers would easily explode if used to nourish the Great Tianyan Jade Talisman.
There is a reason why jade and other things in the world of immortal cultivation are cut into certain sizes.
Shen Lian selected and picked out a total of forty-seven pieces with similar spiritual power fluctuations, which could be used to nourish the Great Tianyan Jade Talisman.
However, he did not take action.
Right now, this place I live in is not very good.
Even though Ao Shi Fu Di focuses on security and privacy, there was no sign of golden elixir fluctuations.
If the Tianyan Jade Talisman is nurtured here and even the slightest fluctuation leaks out, attracting the attention of the Jindan Zhenren, it would be a big trouble for him.
We still have to go out of the city to find a remote place and dig a deep hole as the placement of the talisman array sequence.
But if you want to leave the city.
...Shen Lian’s divine consciousness fell on the blood bean worm.
Still here!
He had been in Ao Shi Fairy City for about five months, and Qi Chengzan was still staring at him.
No, you're fucking sick.
As expected, everyone who is involved with the Black Cliff Demon is fucking sick and cannot be defeated with ordinary people's strength.
I can’t afford to offend you. I can’t afford to offend you.
He had already killed the old devil's three disciples, ruining the old devil's good plan once, and he really didn't want to continue to offend the old devil.
"well……"
Holding the small jade talisman, Shen Lian immersed his mind into the storage bracelet. He currently had nearly 40,000 spirit stones in reserve.
The spirit stones raised through crowdfunding from the Qi-cultivating monks in the northwest sea area have been almost spent.
Among the remaining ones, a large part was donated by the three brothers Xiang Jingying from Qianwang Island.
Why does it take so long?
I started spending money when I first arrived at Ao Shi Xian City.
In the Shanhai Pavilion, there are ten sets of materials for the Gathering Spirit Pill and twenty-three thousand spirit stones.
Xuanling Jadeite, five thousand.
Two pieces of second-grade top-grade talisman paper, two thousand.
Five second-level mid-grade five-element spiritual objects and twenty-three thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
Auction, fragment of Tianyan escape technique, 60,000.
Xuanling chalcedony raw stone, twenty-nine thousand.
After the auction, he purchased another batch of talisman-making materials for nearly twelve thousand yuan.
After more than half a year, the rent of Shigui Cave Mansion has almost reached ten thousand yuan.
The remaining spirit stones are enough for cultivation.
But then you have to continue to nurture the Tianyan Jade Talisman, purchase five elements spiritual objects, purchase second-level monsters to blend spiritual ink, etc., all of which require spirit stones.
The only good news is that an alternative method has been found, so we no longer need to consume so many Spirit Gathering Pills, and the cost has been reduced a lot.
In addition, even if you find an alternative way to nourish it, you still have to put it in your Dantian to nourish it for a period of time.
This will ensure that the consumption of one's own spiritual energy is reduced when activating the jade talisman.
Therefore, one must take out an extra portion of the Spirit Gathering Pill and do the final step of personal nourishment to achieve the best possible fit between the jade talisman and oneself.
All of these require spirit stones.
To be honest, he admired Qi Chengzan's vision, which was really sharp.
Target positioning is accurate.
The second level of foundation building, with a wealth comparable to that of a Jindan Zhenren.
After putting away the jade talisman, Shen Lian stood up and stretched out his arms.
He has too many things to do and he can't let himself be restricted just because of a foundation-building cultivator.
It's just a bug, he can crush it to death with just a thought.
Ao Shi Fairy City is so big. After changing his appearance and skin and moving to a new place of residence, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for Qi Chengzan to find him.
Shen Lian was somewhat confident about this. He could even get rid of the old demon's tracking mark, let alone Qi Chengzan's little bug.
Compared to peaceful practice, killing Qi Chengzan would not bring much benefit and might even cause trouble.
Delaying his subsequent practice plans.
This is really troublesome.
A few days later.
Shen Lian woke up from his practice and took a look at the blood bean worms that were still there.
It's time to get rid of this trouble.
It’s not possible to kill him here. After so long, Qi Chengzan should have known where he lives.
Moreover, there are few monks living in Ao Shi blessed land, and there are only a few coming in and out, so it is easy to be identified again.
If you want to go, go somewhere where there are many people and where people are happy.
When you are happy, you can change your appearance without anyone noticing.
When you come out again, you will be a completely new person.
At that time, it’s up to him whether to stay in the city to sell happiness or go to a remote island to sell happiness.
“Buzz——”
The moment Shen Lian opened the cave formation, he felt the divine mind bug on his body tremble.
From the bushes outside the cave, a dozen transparent little bugs flew up and attacked him.
These insects merged into the void, and if it weren't for the powerful divine consciousness, they would not be detected at all.
As it fell on him, a bunch of illusory waves exploded, followed by a sound similar to tinnitus.
“Buzz!”
In an instant, a ripple appeared in Shen Lian's sea of consciousness, and it was tending to intensify.
The ferocious shadow of a demon appeared in the sea of divine consciousness and suppressed the ripples forcefully. Then his spiritual power swept through his body and began to check.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed with blood. Having practiced the blood refining and soul condensing method, he was immediately affected.
One bug is not enough, there are more than a dozen that can affect the mind.
As an alchemist, how can I sit still when I am so uneasy?
This is to force him to go out.
I looked through Xiang Jingying's memory again, but didn't find any information about the flying insects outside.
That’s right. After all, Xiang Jingying is not a specialist in the secret art of blood bean worms, so what he knows is limited.
It's his own fault. The information he got was too one-sided.
Shen Lian's eyes inadvertently swept across the surrounding hills, but found nothing.
But the precise release of the new variety of blood bean worms was enough to confirm that Qi Chengzan was nearby.
