At the beginning, I cleaned the Sutra Library and completed the incomplete skills.

Li Lan had already prepared all the auxiliary materials for refining the "Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman."

As for the auxiliary materials for arranging the "Earthbound Thousand Machine Diagram," the second transaction with the Su family was not successfully completed due to the appearance of that coolie cultivator, and some were still missing.

However, this was not a problem.

He could obtain the missing spiritual plants from Miao Chenfeng in batches later.

If the quantity was small, there was no need to worry about attracting too much attention.

From that battle with the coolie cultivator,

Although the fight ended quickly, Li Lan still recognized his own shortcomings.

Currently, he had the Scattering Beans into Soldiers technique, which could provide reconnaissance and control capabilities.

He had techniques such as the Golden Cicada Molting and Earth Movement Escape, which could be used to retreat and escape.

Using the imitation treasure Judge's Pen and the Wonderful Brush Creates Dragons, he could greatly limit his opponent's performance.

Li Lan already possessed abilities such as early warning, escape, and entanglement.

He seemed to be perfect and flawless,

But in reality, he lacked the most crucial and vital link.

When dealing with cultivators of the same realm, he lacked the ability to instantly kill his opponents.

The Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman could just make up for Li Lan's current weakness.

He had personally witnessed the power of this item.

In close range and without any defense,

Even a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining would have difficulty escaping death even if they used all their means.

Now that he had finally gathered all the auxiliary materials,

Li Lan adjusted his state and immediately began refining.

He first neatly arranged all the collected materials in front of him.

Then, he took out a light yellow jade slip.

He repeatedly checked the refining method of the Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman, without missing a single detail.

Although he had read it countless times since he obtained the jade slip,

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still patiently reviewed it again.

Ensuring that every detail was thoroughly familiar to him.

Li Lan then opened the furnace in front of him and poured in the prepared small pieces of spirit paulownia bark, spirit silkworm silk, bamboo, and other items.

These were all common materials for making blank yellow talisman paper.

The Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman was slightly different from other talismans.

This talisman could not be completed by simply drawing a few simple runes.

According to the jade slip, to refine this talisman, one must start from making the talisman paper.

In the past two years, Li Lan had tried to make many blank talisman papers on his own.

He already understood this very well.

He skillfully and quickly steamed, boiled, and mashed all the materials, removing the impurities from them,

Making pure mud-like pulp.

Normally, the talisman-making process would be considered a great success at this point.

Afterward, one only needed to control the heat, use mana to shape it, and dry the moisture in the talisman paper.

However, refining a special talisman like the Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman, this step was only the beginning.

What followed was the most crucial moment.

Li Lan took out a stalk of Spirit-Attracting Artemisia from his storage bag.

Wrapped in mana, he did not dare to relax in the slightest, and carefully sent it into the furnace.

Spiritual materials like Spirit-Attracting Artemisia like shade and are extremely sensitive to temperature.

As long as the nearby temperature was slightly higher, it would instantly ignite spontaneously.

After this item burned, it could absorb the surrounding spiritual energy within ten zhang.

When it reached its own limit of capacity, it would explode.

In ancient times, great power cultivators developed the Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman based on this characteristic of spiritual plants.

What Li Lan needed to do at this time was to,

While isolating all temperature,

Slowly crush the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia into mud and mix it into the pulp.

At this moment.

This pulp had just been purified of impurities with gentle heat and had not yet cooled down.

If mana was not used to isolate it, and the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia sensed a trace of temperature, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If one waited for the pulp to cool down completely, the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia would not be able to completely integrate into it.

Therefore, the greatest difficulty in refining this talisman lies in this.

While ensuring that the two could be completely integrated,

The cultivator must also constantly use mana to isolate the temperature.

This was a considerable test of the talisman maker's mana reserves and fine control of mana.

Li Lan divided his attention into two.

While carefully isolating the temperature, he crushed the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia into mud and integrated it into the pulp.

In the past two years.

He had specifically used special methods according to the jade slip,

Tried to practice the entire process countless times, as well as the way to finely control mana.

Therefore, refining it now was considered handy.

Initially.

The fusion process was still very smooth.

But as time went on,

Thin beads of sweat gradually began to seep out of Li Lan's forehead.

Compared to mana, his mental consumption was also quite large.

This made him unconsciously,

Think of the time when he was promoted to the second level of Qi Refining, when he condensed the second mana vortex in his body.

Refining this talisman and breaking through the realm had the same goal through different paths.

Li Lan did not dare to be distracted in the slightest.

He concentrated on controlling his mana.

Bringing the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia mud and the talisman paper pulp together, slowly fusing them together.

The flame under the furnace never went out.

If the temperature was not enough, and the talisman paper pulp cooled and solidified, everything would be in vain.

Gradually.

Under Li Lan's efforts.

The spiritual material mixed pulp in the furnace began to gradually shape into the appearance of a palm-sized talisman paper.

He finally completed the most difficult step.

Successfully integrated the two perfectly together.

Li Lan quickly extinguished the flame.

Next.

He only needed to wait quietly for the talisman paper temperature to cool down completely.

During this period.

Li Lan still needed to separate the two materials with mana.

A drop of sweat flowed from between his eyebrows to the corner of his eye.

Having maintained one posture for too long, he instinctively blinked his eyes.

It was just this slight movement.

Caused the mana separating the two spiritual materials to lose its balance for a moment.

Although Li Lan reacted quickly and made timely repairs.

But it was still too late.

The pulp temperature had not yet cooled down and came into contact with the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia mud.

With a soft puff sound.

The Spirit-Attracting Artemisia instantly ignited.

Li Lan's pupils shrank, and he secretly cried out that it was not good.

He could no longer care about anything else and quickly put the remaining materials into the storage bag.

Then he flashed out of the cave.

Just as Li Lan left in an instant.

The Spirit-Attracting Artemisia had already completed its spontaneous combustion, and the spiritual energy within ten zhang around it was stirred up extremely violently.

Immediately.

A dazzling white light lit up from inside the cave.

Everything within ten zhang was completely annihilated under this force.

Li Lan looked at the pit in front of him, which was close at hand, and quietly wiped away a cold sweat.

The pulp formed by crushing and fusing various spiritual plants accelerated the speed at which the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Shortened the time required for the Spirit-Attracting Artemisia to reach its own spiritual energy storage limit.

Even if it was only an unfinished version, its power was still not to be underestimated.

This refining failure made Li Lan sigh, but also feel quite heartache.

The Spirit-Attracting Artemisia spiritual material was very precious and not easy to cultivate.

He had spent two years, but only managed to cultivate three plants.

Now that he had wasted one in this way, how could Li Lan not feel heartache?

However.

He had climbed up step by step from the lowest point, and his temperament had already been tempered to be incomparably resilient.

Li Lan quickly adjusted his state.

After quickly erasing the traces he left here.

He changed to another safe place and continued to refine the Artemisia Annua Sky-Burning Talisman.
