Several years ago, after the incident at Xiaozhu Peak, he never saw this person again, followed by the Luoxia Mountain case not long ago.

In his eyes, Xiao Feng was a deeply hidden and extremely dangerous person, and he was unwilling to get close to him.

"Fellow Daoist Qu, don't be nervous."

Chen Sanshi gestured for the other party to sit down and poured him tea: "I invited you here today to ask if there is anything I can do to help you on your cultivation journey."

"..."

Qu Lingchuan sat down warily, without drinking tea: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, out of consideration for our past friendship, I will not reveal your presence, but please speak frankly and directly, without beating around the bush."

"I want a teleportation array."

Chen Sanshi paused for a moment, then added, "I know that Fellow Daoist Qu is in charge of the array defense for the one connecting Daze Market and Dongsheng Divine Continent."

"..."

Qu Lingchuan frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I am an enshrined elder of the Hall of Deacons and I would never cooperate with evil cultivators."

"Pretend we never met today, and don't come looking for me again."

He then made a move to get up and leave.

"Fellow Daoist Qu!"

Chen Sanshi emphasized, "You've been stuck in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for over twenty years, haven't you? If you don't break through to the late stage within ten years, I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to form your Core."

Qu Lingchuan glanced sideways: "What, could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao can help me form my Core?"

"Of course not."

Chen Sanshi said, "But what I'm willing to give Brother Qu is definitely more than what the Li family is willing to give. If there are any resources that can help you form your core in the future, I can promise to give them to you first. I keep my word."

"Brother, please forgive my harsh words, but if you continue to maintain your current mediocre state, your path may come to an end."

"..."

Qu Lingchuan gazed at the sky outside the window, remained silent for a long time, and then spoke again: "I need a Breakthrough Pill. When can you obtain this item, fellow Daoist, then we can discuss cooperation."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Breakthrough Pill".

Chen Sanshi quickly found the relevant information based on the classic texts he had read.

Breakthrough Pills, as the name suggests, are specifically designed to help cultivators who are stuck in a bottleneck break through their cultivation level, and they are quite valuable.

The formula for this elixir is not rare; its high cost lies in the fact that it requires a thousand-year-old medicinal herb called the "Phoenix Stone Beast."

The Phoenix Stone Beast has the character "beast" in its name, but it is actually a spiritual plant with a spiritual nature. It is named for its ability to devour spiritual beasts and living people.

Phoenix stone beasts are rare to find, and those over a thousand years old are even rarer, making them a coveted item for almost all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, it is a rare and precious material specifically for cultivators, and it is highly unlikely to be found in Twilight Valley.

The only way Chen Sanshi could think of to obtain it in a short time was probably the Nine Nether Forbidden Land.

His neighbor from Xiaozhufeng did ask for a rather high price.

But it was worth it.

Only by controlling the teleportation array can the army move freely in and out.

Moreover, if they could actually find this thing, Chen Sanshi could change the formula and refine a pill that could help with the early stages of Foundation Establishment, which would benefit both parties.

"Phoenix and Luan Stone Beast".

He silently memorized the name, making it his first target in the Nine Nether Forbidden Lands.

Having made up his mind, Chen Sanshi did not linger and returned to his cave in Twilight Valley to begin a long period of secluded cultivation.

The forbidden area has not yet been opened, but time absolutely cannot be wasted.

Four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

[Cultivation Technique: Fire Swallowing Technique - Early Foundation Establishment Stage]

【Progress: 35/500】

The progress in the Immortal Path is slow.

But actually, Chen Sanshi is only thirty-five years old. At this age, a Foundation Establishment cultivator is definitely considered young in the cultivation world.

The progress of the Dragon Scripture was also extremely difficult. He estimated that he could open up another Jing God before the forbidden area opened.

After becoming fatigued from practicing various techniques, he would turn his attention to cultivating immortality.

The first thing to be affected was puppetry.

During his seclusion, Chen Sanshi would spend one to two hours each day remotely controlling the puppets in the Wujiang Palace in Tianyong City to handle government affairs.

But two hours is still a period of time.

According to the "Tianyan Wanbing Jue", if one can cultivate puppetry to a certain level, one can multitask.

By simply leaving a wisp of one's soul on the puppet, it can act according to its master's will even without being controlled.

Only in this way can we make the most of our time.

[Skill: Heavenly Evolution of Myriad Weapons Technique (Level 1)]

【Progress: 278/500】

Not only puppetry, but Chen Sanshi also mastered all other skills.

[Skill: Beast Taming (Beginner)]

【Progress: 239/500】

His three spirit pets have all reached the late stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm, with Qianxun about to break through to the Profound Body Realm.

The cultivation speed of spirit beasts can also be increased through resources, which further demonstrates the importance of collecting rare and precious materials.

[Skill: Alchemy (Tier 2)]

【Progress: 466/1000】

……

[Skill: Formation (Tier 1)]

【Progress: 471/500】

……

[Skill: Talisman Drawing (Tier 1)]

【Progress: 489/500】

……

The art of drawing talismans was the closest to a breakthrough, so Chen Sanshi spent more than ten days improving his proficiency.

A talisman can be understood as a spell stored in a talisman paper. It can be released directly without hand gestures or incantations, without the need for learning, and without any cost.

Therefore, it is also the method most favored by cultivators.

However, while using talismans consumes no resources, drawing talismans is not an easy task.

As Chen Sanshi held the talisman brush, every half-inch of ink he splashed onto the talisman paper caused his magical power and divine sense to be consumed at an alarming rate.

Normally, a Qi Refining stage talisman master can only draw two or three talismans a day at most; any more than that would damage their spiritual consciousness.

During the Foundation Establishment stage, the number doubles, allowing one to draw four or five images.

Moreover, after each painting session, it is often necessary to rest for two days in order to protect the soul and consciousness.

The higher the grade of a talisman, the greater the consumption for the talisman master, which is why the price of talismans has always remained high.

If you just randomly scribble with a pen, drawing hundreds or thousands of talismans every day, they would be commonplace and worthless by now.

Because of his mastery of various skills, coupled with the tempering of his divine sense by the "Heavenly Evolution Myriad Weapons Technique," Chen Sanshi was stronger than ordinary people and could draw seven or eight talismans in one go.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain brought on by the depletion of his divine sense, sketching out the last talisman of the day, gradually giving rise to a resonance, a resonance with the laws of heaven and earth.

It was as if the talisman brush in Chen Sanshi's hand was a divine artifact specifically used to manipulate the laws of heaven and earth, and that he himself was the creator who controlled the laws.

In this state, he not only became more adept at his work, but even when drawing talismans, the energy expenditure on himself was greatly reduced.
