Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

He got a lot of good things in exchange, and accordingly, the mid-grade talismans in his storage bag were almost sold out, leaving only dozens of high-grade talismans.

Once this wave of people passed, Chen Yunhao closed the door and refused to see visitors.

He would not receive any more monks, claiming that all the talismans in his hand had been exchanged and needed to be made again.

In fact, the main reason is that Chen Yunhao doesn't want to be too prominent.

Although how much you can get in return depends on your ability, there will always be rivers and lakes in a society where there are people.

He is not the only talisman maker in this compound, so he must leave some for others.

As time went on, the time intervals between the beast tides became longer and longer.

Although Chen Yunhao didn't care much about this matter, he also learned the general reason from other cultivators.

The wild beasts and monsters near the periphery have been almost consumed, and the high-level monsters are driving new monsters from the depths of the wilderness.

This takes time, and the demon race is even more ruthless. No matter how noble your bloodline is, even if you are a descendant of a true spirit, as long as the number exceeds a certain scale, you will all be eliminated.

As I said before, there are only so many resources, and many of them are non-renewable.

If you want to retain more resources, you must eliminate most of the useless monsters.

The same principle applies to the human race. Everyone understands the principle, but no one can escape the desire for greed. This is reality.

Chen Yunhao spent a day copying hundreds of mid-to-high-grade talismans, and then he closed himself in to practice.

Zhenhuang City is located on the border of the wilderness. Although there are spiritual veins underground, they are absorbed by the city's formations, so the spiritual energy in the city is not strong.

Moreover, the quiet room where Chen Yunhao lived was rather small. Since the Eight Extremes Locking Door Formation had already been set up, there was no room for setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation.

Therefore, Chen Yunhao's recent practice is to take elixirs one day and use medium-grade spirit stones the next day, alternating between them, and his progress in cultivation is not slow.

This time the beast tide paused for a particularly long time, with no movement for more than twenty days, which made many monks in the city think that the beast tide was over.

However, the teleportation array leading out of Zhenhuang City was not open, and recruited monks were still being transported in continuously. It was obvious that the beast tide had not ended.

In fact, the Five Elements Sect has specially sent Jindan-stage cultivators to the depths of the wilderness to gather information. The beast tide has indeed not ended, and it seems that the demon clan is brewing a major attack.

During this period, the number of monks in the city has reached nearly 80,000, the highest number ever.

The small city was packed with people.

Yuxian City blocked all news from Zhenhuang City, and no one knew how many cultivators had died, so there were still many uninformed cultivators pouring in.

More than half of the monks here will become cannon fodder.

Chen Yunhao turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only wanted to practice. After all, the task assigned by the Five Elements Sect had been completed, and he had free time from then on.

Now it seems that it is still a bit difficult to reach the great perfection of Qi Refining before the beast tide ends.

After all, he had just broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining. Even if he had excellent spiritual roots, his speed would not be that fast.

Besides, the Qi Refining Stage is a stage for laying the foundation, so it is best to proceed steadily and steadily.

Just like before he reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, he had been practicing in Tianzhen Temple. Although the progress was slow, the foundation he laid was extremely solid.

From the seventh level of Qi Refining to now, although the speed of cultivation has increased a lot, the true Qi in the body is still thick, solid and free. The key is to lay a solid foundation in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

If you feel that your goal is difficult to achieve, you will not pursue speed, but just let nature take its course!

During the breaks in his practice, Chen Yunhao sorted out his recent gains.

Putting aside the things he had on him, he also exchanged for a lot of various rare treasures.

I took some time to sort out the various spiritual medicines together. The most valuable one was a seven hundred year old black lotus.

The others are all magical medicines that are several decades to a hundred years old, a total of twenty-five.

None of these twenty or so spiritual medicines are repeated. When he returns to Yuxian City, he plans to copy more of these spiritual medicines and exchange them for spiritual pills in various spiritual medicine shops in the city.

There is also a set of body-building exercises and a multi-eyed monster eyeball.

There are also some materials for refining magic tools, such as iron essence, red flint, etc.

These naturally grown refining materials are not particularly rare, but they are available in large quantities.

On the Northern Yuan Continent, it is easy to get materials for alchemy, because spiritual medicines can be grown, the only difference is the waiting time.

The materials used for refining equipment can be said to be non-renewable resources, and the more they are used, the less they are.

As recorded in ancient books, quicksand gold was everywhere a thousand years ago, but now it has become a rare thing.

The reason for this is self-evident. Good resources will become less and less until they are exhausted.

So even though some of the refining materials were relatively common, Chen Yunhao still collected them. Because of the large quantity, he could make some money by reselling them, but it would not be cost-effective to copy them using an ancient mirror.

In fact, there is another reason, which is that those casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage really don’t have anything good in their hands.

After resting for more than twenty days, another wave of beasts arrived, but in smaller numbers, and they were more of a small-scale harassment.

As long as the human cultivators stepped out of the formation, the harassing group of monsters were retreated.

When the human monks retreated back to the city, the group of monsters followed and started a tug-of-war with the human race.

Moreover, it was a tug-of-war that lasted day and night for more than ten days, making the human race exhausted.

Chen Yunhao also heard about this and went to the top of the city wall to take a look.

This time the monsters fought in an organized manner, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. It was obvious that there were smarter, higher-level monsters commanding them from behind.

Looking at the endless mountains in the distance, which are deep in the mysterious wilderness, I always feel that there is a demonic aura there.

Chen Yunhao retreated from the top of the city wall with a serious expression. He was not afraid of the monsters fighting desperately, but he was afraid that the monsters had rules and regulations. This matter was definitely not simple.

Chen Yunhao was not the only one who felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Any cultivator with a little bit of common sense could see it, so the atmosphere in the city had been very depressing in the past few days.

A real war is about to begin, and this is probably something that all the monks in the city know clearly.

The monks who had participated in several beast tides were fine, at least they were not so scared. However, the tens of thousands of monks who came later became a little agitated.

Chen Yunhao had just returned to the quiet room and was about to make some more preparations for himself when suddenly an extremely powerful pressure came upon him.

This was the energy released by a powerful Yuanying stage cultivator. Although it only existed for a moment, it made the cultivators in the city feel much more at ease.

That’s right, there are two old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage guarding the city. If the sky falls, there are big guys to hold it up. What is there to be afraid of!

The monks in the city also readjusted their response rhythm. The 70,000 to 80,000 monks were divided into four or five rounds, taking turns to deal with the attacks of the monsters.
