My talisman pen is omnipotent. How should you deal with it?

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed inside the formation, but outside the formation it was only two months.

During this period of time, Chu Ci refined more than one hundred furnaces of Nine-Aperture Strengthening Spirit Powder.

From taking a small spoonful each time in the beginning to taking half a pound each time later, his already powerful spiritual consciousness has been nourished and tempered to a great extent, and has become even more powerful.

During this period, Chu Ci went into battle several times and personally felt the changes in his spiritual consciousness.

He found that his consciousness could be released to a distance of 120 miles outside the body. However, no matter how much he increased the dosage, this limit seemed to be difficult to break.

Despite this, Chu Ci did not stop taking the medicine, because he realized that although the coverage of his spiritual awareness could no longer be expanded, its overall strength was still increasing at an extremely slow rate.

Now, as long as you are in the area covered by his spiritual sense, any subtle changes will be clearly visible and nothing can escape detection.

Not only that, Chu Ci also refined tens of thousands of Zhuxian talismans and nine-color light column talismans. Every time he would pour all his spiritual power into them, and he would not stop until it was exhausted.

However, with the help of many spirit gathering talismans, the spiritual power that had been exhausted in his body was quickly restored to its original state in a short period of time.

Under this continuous flushing, Chu Ci could clearly feel that the spiritual power in his body was slowly increasing.

Suddenly one day, when Chu Ci was practicing as usual, he found that the ghost stone monkey was becoming restless, and it seemed that someone was approaching.

Chu Ci quickly stopped his training and stood up, then flew out of the secret compartment in a flash.

The person was just outside the door. Chu Ci opened the door and saw clearly that the person was the old Taoist priest who came on the flying boat with Master Xuanji.

The old Taoist priest was very polite. When he saw Chu Ci coming out, he bowed slightly and then said, "I am the Taoist Shanyuan. I am really disturbing your meditation by coming here without any hesitation. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

After all, the person in front of him was a Jindan cultivator, whose strength was far beyond his own, so Chu Ci quickly returned the greeting and said, "Senior, your words are too kind. I don't deserve them. I just don't know why you came here."

This Shanyuan Zhenren was very approachable, with a friendly smile on his face, and a humble and polite attitude. He first took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Chu Ci, and then slowly explained:

"To be honest, I came here to bother you because I wanted to find some rare spiritual medicines. If you happen to have any treasures, I am willing to exchange them with you for something of equal value."

Chu Ci took the note and looked at it carefully. He saw more than ten kinds of magical herbs listed densely on it, and the specific year requirements required were detailed behind each one.

Jiuqu Lingshen...300 years old

Lingzhu Flower…500 years old

Golden Sun Grass…100 Years

……

Chu Ci did have two in his hand, but it was impossible for him to give them to the other party, so he shook his head and said: "The spiritual herbs that the senior needs are all rare and of high age. I don't have any of them."

After hearing this, Master Shanyuan did not show any other expression, but said to himself: "It seems that these spiritual herbs are really hard to find. Well, I will look for them when I have time."

After saying that, he chatted with Chu Ci for a few more words before turning around and leaving.

After this episode, Chu Ci did not return to the Zi Hai He Chong formation, but decided to cultivate his soul.

He placed the flags of the Soul-Fixing and Spirit-Locking Array in his hand one by one, and called the Ghost Stone Monkey, asked it to pick up one of the flags, and told it the method of control in detail. Then Chu Ci stepped into the array.

The ghost stone monkey followed Chu Ci's method and inserted the formation flag into the designated position. In an instant, Chu Ci felt a powerful force pressing down on his soul, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, and the spiritual power in his body was completely imprisoned.

Just as Chu Ci was trying his best to adapt to this abnormal situation, the ghost stone monkey suddenly and quickly pulled out the formation flag.

Chu Ci trembled violently, and his originally suppressed soul instantly recovered.

This repeated insertion and withdrawal made Chu Ci's soul suffer every time. The ghost stone monkey was very smart, and the rhythm was just right, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. This made Chu Ci suffer a lot in the formation, and his soul became extremely tired under such torture.

This torture lasted for three days and three nights. Chu Ci finally couldn't bear it anymore and quickly signaled the Ghost Shadow Stone Monkey to stop. After receiving the instruction, the Ghost Shadow Stone Monkey stopped, and Chu Ci got a moment to breathe.

Chu Ci walked almost unsteadily, and after barely getting out of the formation, he sat down on the ground. He felt tired, very tired.

After a night's rest, Chu Ci started the next day again with the Ghost Stone Monkey.

He practiced this repeatedly for more than two months, until the Soul-Fixing and Spirit-Locking Array had completely lost its effect on him.

Afterwards, Chu Ci dismantled all the formations, and with a movement of his spiritual power, 24 flying swords flew out of his body and formed a huge sword formation around him. Under his control, all the flying swords started to rotate at the same time, and their power was astonishing whether they were attacking or defending.

Now he can control 24 flying swords in half a cup of tea. With the power of the sword formation, he is confident that he can kill two late Jindan cultivators.

At the same time, Chu Ci also felt that his cultivation was only one step away from breaking through to the Jindan stage.

There is still about a month before the official competition. When the competition is over, he can immediately return to the mysterious cave to refine the golden elixir and break through his cultivation.

Chu Ci was ready to go for a walk outside. He put away his flying sword and turned to leave the hall. It was late at night and the square was quiet. Only tall buildings stood under the night sky. There was no one around and everyone should be in their own residence.

At this moment, Chu Ci saw a figure in the distance, which he would not have noticed at all if it weren't for his excellent eyesight.

Looking carefully, he discovered that the person in the distance was actually Shanyuan Zhenren, and the other party also discovered him at the same time.

When Master Shanyuan saw Chu Ci, he quickly put away a round plate in his hand and walked towards Chu Ci: "Haha, fellow Taoist, you are in a good mood. You are here alone so late at night to relax."

Chu Ci always felt that this Shanyuan Zhenren was strange, but since the other party took the initiative to speak, it would be embarrassing if he did not respond, so he said: "I just came out of retreat, but I happened to pass by here, and I didn't expect that you are here too."

Shanyuan Zhenren smiled and said, "It's the same with you. I just happened to come out of retreat and tried out the new magic weapon I made."

As he said this, he took out a Dharma plate and said to himself, "Ah! This thing is finally made. My years of hard work are not in vain."

Having said that, he ignored Chu Ci and walked towards his residence.

Chu Ci looked at the back of Master Shanyuan and couldn't help feeling confused.

After Master Shanyuan left, Chu Ci walked around the square a few times, and the evening breeze swept away his fatigue.

Just when Chu Ci returned to the door of his stone palace, a strange feeling suddenly came to his heart. Someone was approaching quickly, and there was more than one!
