Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1168 - 516: Frenzied Talisman Painting

Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from Li Yunjing’s forehead, soaking his clothes, yet his gaze grew increasingly determined.

"Let it succeed!"

Li Yunjing roared, simultaneously executing all the spells.

A clear ringing sound emerged from within the pill furnace, and the crack on the elixir embryo instantly healed. Twelve "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills," glowing with a purple-gold hue, flew out from the pill furnace, circled once in the air, and landed in the jade bottle.

The surface of each elixir shimmered with mysterious array patterns, a testament to Li Yunjing’s perfect fusion of the Array Dao and Alchemy Dao.

Li Yunjing, supporting his weary frame, lightly picked up a "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pill" with his fingertips.

Under the flickering candlelight, the array patterns on the elixir’s surface glimmered intermittently, traversing the veins of the pill like a living creature, subtly resonating with his cultivated Power of the Five Elements.

Upon closer inspection, the fragrance of the pill entwined with the unique, profound aura of the Array Dao, a distinctive flavor that no previous elixir ever possessed.

A Tier Three conventional elixir, more significant than any pill ever crafted before.

"Using the array to consolidate the pill, it truly works."

Li Yunjing murmured to himself, placing the elixir onto his palm and infusing it with mana.

The array pattern on the pill’s surface suddenly lit up, transforming into a miniature Spirit Gathering Array, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, causing the initially full aromatic aura in the seclusion chamber to condense back into mist, infusing into the elixir.

This unexpected discovery caused Li Yunjing’s pupils to contract slightly.

These elixirs, fused with the Array Dao, could autonomously enhance their efficacy!

"Impressive! Historical Array Dao Grandmasters weren’t necessarily Alchemy Dao Grandmasters, nor were Alchemy Dao Grandmasters necessarily Array Dao Grandmasters!"

"Combining two supreme vice positions to attempt pill refining has indeed brought an unexpected miracle!"

With a nervous heart, Li Yunjing consumed a "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pill."

As the elixir melted in his mouth, it transformed into a gentle warm stream, rushing directly to the middle dantian.

Li Yunjing immediately activated his cultivation technique, seeing the "Dragon Tiger Golden Core" surface shimmering with a purple-gold halo. The originally sluggish mana circulation became extraordinarily smooth, as if a lubricating membrane covered the gold core surface.

Even more delightful was the expansion of the "Dragon Tiger Golden Core" as the elixir’s potency spread.

"Excellent elixir! One pill can save two years of meditation time!"

An hour later, Li Yunjing suddenly opened his eyes, brimming with ecstatic joy.

With the first success, for the next month, Li Yunjing dedicated all his time to refining more "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills," achieving success nine out of twelve attempts!

In total, eighty-one "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills" were crafted.

The potency of the "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills" was exceptional, unlike the "True Essence Pill." Instead of consuming one pill per day, one pill every ten days to half a month sufficed.

In other words, Li Yunjing had more than three years’ worth.

With three years, Li Yunjing was confident in acquiring more materials for refining "Purple Mansion Condensing Essence Pills" again.

Li Yunjing carefully collected the eighty-one purple mansion pills into the jade box, his fingertips tracing the self-rotating array patterns on the pill bottle, a meaningful smile curling on his lips.

These elixirs were not only cultivation resources but also leverage for swaying various powers.

Li Yunjing planned to gift some of these elixirs to allied elders.

Ensuring those elders steadfastly supported his stance.

Thinking about this, Li Yunjing calculated his seclusion time; his alchemy and puppet materials had been exhausted, leaving only talisman making and artifact refining materials.

Just right, with time on hand, he decided to utilize those materials too.

Only finished products could fetch high prices; selling raw materials was truly a loss.

Upon deciding, Li Yunjing immediately began extracting the Demon King blood he had acquired, preparing it in casks for talisman painting as cinnabar.

The skins of the demon beasts, through the manufacturing of "Puppet Mechanism Beasts," were turned into talisman papers....

Seven days later, once everything was prepared, Li Yunjing took out his Tier Three Lower Grade Treasure Artifacts, "Jade Flower Celestial Brush" and "Mountain and River Research Institute," starting preparations for talisman making.

"The Jade Emperor issues an imperial decree, divine ink blazing!"

"Like rain, like lightning, enlighten and awaken—Decree!"

Li Yunjing recited the "Ink Spell," pouring Demon King blood into the "Mountain and River Research Institute," condensing a wisp of true fire above the ink stone with his fingertips.

The scarlet blood evaporated under the intense heat, gradually releasing its bloody essence, merging with pulverized demon beast bones to form viscous cinnabar, exuding a dreadful pressure.

"Supreme golden Chapter, flawless jade page!"

"Convey my Daoist skill, revealing mysteries—Swift!"

Reciting the "Paper Spell," Li Yunjing placed stacks of talisman paper on the table, completing the final preparations for talisman making.

He took up the "Jade Flower Celestial Brush," the hairs on the brush handle encountering the cinnabar in the ink stone, emitting a gentle glow.

"Heaven is round, earth is square, decrees in nine Chapters;"

"I now begin to write, myriad ghosts concealed—Hurry up!"

Reciting the "Brush Start Spell," Li Yunjing’s wrist quivered lightly, the brush tip dipped in cinnabar, swiftly moving across the talisman paper made from demon beast hides like a dragon.

As the first "Exorcism Talisman" emerged, the talisman paper emitted a faint hum, and the cinnabar-drawn patterns wriggled like living creatures.

"The talisman connects the Three Realms, stamping and subduing heaven and earth;"

"By my imperial decree, eternal life is guaranteed—Hurry up, Supreme Laojun’s decree!"

His expression turned solemn, immediately channeling spiritual power within his body, using Array Dao insights to construct a Spirit Locking Array at the edge of the talisman paper, forcibly suppressing the turbulent energy.

"Messenger of five thunders, commander of five dings;"

"Almighty soaring saint, lightning strikes rumble;"
