After thinking it through, Chu Ci's doubts finally disappeared. He quickly dismantled the formation flags and returned to the house, ready to concentrate on refining the talisman.

He first practiced the control of his spiritual power carefully, and after becoming familiar with it, he increased the output of spiritual power again.

After five days of continuous attempts and exploration, Chu Ci finally became thoroughly familiar with the method of refining the Zhuxian Talisman. Now he can refine the talisman on the Jiuhua leopard skin with the maximum spiritual power in his body.

Although it has not been tested in actual combat, Chu Ci is convinced that the power of this talisman is definitely not less than those imitations.

Moreover, as his cultivation continues to improve, the power of this talisman will become stronger and stronger.

Since refining the Zhuxian Talisman consumes a lot of spiritual energy and has a certain chance of failure, Chu Ci refined a total of 138 Zhuxian Talismans in these five days. A total of 50 of them were made with Jiuhua leopard skin, and the rest were made with other animal skins and talisman paper.

Originally Chu Ci was planning to do more, but after counting on his fingers, he realized that today was already the seventh day of July, which was the date for attacking the Li family's formation.

He walked out of the villa, and as soon as he walked out of the gate, he saw Li Modie standing in front of the building in the distance, looking at him. He didn't know how long she had been observing.

In addition, Chu Ci also found that the entire Lijiazhuang seemed to be particularly busy today. Almost everyone was there, shuttling back and forth in the village, and everyone had a serious look on their face, as if something big had happened.

Before he could think about it, he saw Li Yuanzhong walking towards him from a distance, with Wen Jing following behind him. He clasped his fists and said to Chu Ci, "Fellow Daoist Chu, you have worked hard!"

Chu Ci smiled faintly: "I should be loyal to the trust of others. Daoist friend, how dare I let you down? Daoist friend Yuan Zhong, it seems that the village is different today than a few days ago. Could it be that something big happened?"

Li Yuanzhong said lightly, "It's not an important matter. Today is the day for the annual inspection of the formation. All of us in the Li family have to go out to ensure that the formation is intact. Fellow Daoist Chu, don't worry too much. This is just a routine matter."

Chu Ci's heart moved, thinking that this might not be an inspection of the formation, but because today is the seventh day of the seventh month, the power of the formation is greatly reduced. Therefore, the entire Li family is on high alert to prevent any unexpected situation.

It’s just that Li Yuanzhong doesn’t want to say it.

From this, it can be seen that the information held by the person who passed the jade slip to Yurong was quite accurate.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, after several days of seclusion, do you have any insights into the Immortal Execution Talisman?" Li Yuanzhong's tone was full of expectation. He did not directly ask Chu Ci whether he had succeeded in refining it, but wanted to know whether Chu Ci had a deeper understanding of the creation of the Immortal Execution Talisman.

In Li Yuanzhong's view, even getting a glimpse of the way is by no means easy and requires a long period of exploration and practice.

Therefore, he did not expect Chu Ci to succeed in making the talisman now.

While the two were talking, Li Modie came over. She bowed to Li Yuanzhong first, then looked at Chu Ci nervously.

After returning home that day, she regretted very much that she had made such a bet on impulse.

Now she had mixed feelings in her heart, hoping that Chu Ci could successfully refine the Zhuxian Talisman, but also afraid that he would fail. This contradictory feeling made her face show a complicated expression.

Chu Ci felt Li Modie's gaze and his heart moved slightly, but he did not show it. Instead, he said calmly: "Yes, I do have a deeper understanding of the Zhuxian Talisman."

When Li Modie heard this, she felt relieved at first. It seemed that Chu Ci had failed. What he said just now must have been an excuse.

But then, she felt disappointed again. After all, the Li family benefited the most from refining the Zhuxian Talisman.

Just when everyone was thinking about their own things, Chu Ci suddenly sensed that someone was flying towards this side from fifty miles away. It seemed that even without Yu Rong's joining, those who were preparing to attack the Li family's formation would arrive as scheduled.

There are four people in total, and they are all Jindan cultivators!

I didn't expect that so many people would come from the other side, but Chu Ci didn't show any emotion at all.

After a moment, Li Yuanzhong's face suddenly became serious. He looked into the distance with a look of vigilance in his eyes: "Oh no, someone is coming towards us."

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanbo, Li Yuanshu, Li Yuanji and Li Yuanmeng also rushed over quickly from different directions. Obviously, they also felt that powerful aura.

"Second brother, the situation is not good. A strong man is approaching us." Li Yuanbo said in a low voice.

As the eldest brother of the Li family, he was the person with the highest cultivation level in the field except for Li Yuanzhong, and he was also the first to arrive.

Li Yuanzhong nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have sensed that there are four people on the other side, all of them are Jindan cultivators."

Before he finished speaking, four figures appeared outside the formation like ghosts. They were suspended in the air, with a strong aura that made people dare not look directly at them.

Chu Ci looked intently and saw two old men and two young men. All four of them were Jindan cultivators without exception, and their strength was unfathomable.

At this moment, everyone in Lijiazhuang also saw the person in the air, and their faces were solemn, as if they were facing a great enemy. Many people held long swords in their hands, ready to fight at any time.

Chu Ci noticed that there were eight foundation-building cultivators in Lijia Village, including the five elders of the Li family, a middle-aged couple and Wen Jing. He had not seen this middle-aged couple when he entered the village, so he thought they did not show up at that time.

Wen Jing also walked over quickly and stood beside Li Yuanzhong. Her face was pale, her eyes were full of worry, and she looked very nervous.

Li Yuanzhong stared at the four people in mid-air, frowning. He said to himself, "Damn it! Why did you choose to come at this time today?"

Then, he turned to face the people in Lijiazhuang and ordered loudly, "Everyone listen up, women, children and mortals, all go into the ancestral hall to hide. Mo Xiu, you take all the family cultivators below the eighth level of Qi Refining to guard outside the ancestral hall and protect their safety."

"Yes!" Li Moxiu took immediate action upon hearing this, quickly organizing the crowd and allowing women, children and mortals to evacuate first.

Then he led most of the monks to follow closely and all ran towards the Li family ancestral hall.

The entire Lijiazhuang became tense at this moment, and everyone understood that a big battle was about to begin.

Soon, the number of people on the field decreased a lot, leaving only the five elders of the Li family, the middle-aged couple, Wen Jing, Li Modie, and four young men holding long swords.

These four people are the best of the younger generation of the Li family, and all of them have reached the perfect state of Qi Refining.

Li Yuanzhong's face showed an unprecedented solemnity. He turned to Wen Jing, his tone full of earnestness:

"Jing'er, I know your strength. Mo Qi and the other four are the future of our Li family. I only have one request. I hope you can protect them and evacuate them during the melee, so as to preserve a trace of incense for the Li family."

Wen Jing nodded without hesitation: "Yuan Zhong, don't worry, I will do my best to protect these juniors and evacuate safely."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and waved to the four young men: "Mo Qi, the four of you follow me."

Chu Ci listened to the conversation between the two, which sounded like a pair of Taoist lovers discussing their last affairs.

The four young men exchanged glances, tightly grasped the long swords in their hands, followed Wen Jing closely, and walked to a big tree about forty or fifty feet away.
