In the following days, Zhao Di went to Fangshi every day to gather news and then stayed in the bookstore.

  More than two months later, Zheng Dao Alliance indeed announced the news of those three Flame Heaven Fire Liquids and nine Cold Xuan Ming Waters.

  It is said that the three major forces accidentally discovered an ancient sealed space in the waters near Xuanzhou Immortal Island. This space is divided into Blazing Flame Realm and Mysterious Frost Realm, one hot and one cold, both extremely vast.

  These two extreme environments have been sealed for tens of thousands of years, so it's only natural that some ice and fire attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures are produced.

  Among them, the first batch of monks who entered found that there were three Flame Heaven Fire Liquids and nine Cold Xuanming Waters, which were scattered very widely and seemed to be quite numerous.

  To avoid these treasures from being monopolized by certain forces, and the three major forces could not unify a distribution plan, so the three major forces simply opened up this space completely. Any one of the foundation-building cultivators only needs to pay 5,000 spirit stones to enter. This sealed space will be open once every ten years, and it is promised that any treasures found in this space will belong to each cultivator themselves. In this way, whether or not one can obtain treasures depends on their own luck, avoiding disputes caused by unfair distribution.

  The Righteous Path Alliance has also made arrangements, and there is no great danger in this space. There are only a small number of ice and fire attribute demon beasts, and their levels are not too high. No fifth-level or higher demon beasts have been found yet. More importantly, entering this space requires teleportation, but exiting is very easy. It only takes less than half an incense stick's time to activate a specially refined magic disk, which can trigger the spatial constraints and automatically expel you from the space, returning you to the sea area near the Xuanzhou Immortal Island.

  Therefore, the cultivator who found the treasure no longer needs to worry about being hunted down in that sealed space, and only needs to spend a little time before he can return to the Star Ocean safely.

  There are rare exotic temptations, and the danger level doesn't seem to be high either. This news quickly spread among the foundation-building cultivators, especially those in the later stages of foundation building like Zhao Di, who were overjoyed and almost unanimously decided to sign up for it.

  Even some Nascent Soul cultivators wanted to participate, but after making some discreet inquiries, the three major powers clearly stated that only Foundation Building cultivators could be transported in, and Nascent Soul or higher cultivators were unable to enter this space.

  One year after this message is posted, the Blazing Realm and the Profound Frost Realm will be opened for the first time. Before that, no one can enter either of them.

  The situation of Zhengdao Alliance's announcement is basically consistent with the information Zhao Di recently inquired about. So he thought carefully, whether to suspend the impact of Zhendan or go to the sealed space to find treasure first.

  Although he had the Heart Purification Pill, and took a large amount of Supreme Foundation Pill, and Ximen Scatterperson also left behind several spiritual pills that were slightly helpful for forming the elixir, but overall, the success rate of forming the elixir was only two or three percent higher than others, without any absolute guarantee.

  If he could find the Three Flame Heaven Fire Liquid and the Nine Cold Xuanming Water, two treasures that would increase his chances of successfully refining the elixir, it was naturally something he wouldn't want to let go of.

  Even if they can't find it, it's just a waste of time and 5,000 spirit stones that can be ignored. With his cultivation at the peak of the late foundation stage, as well as various powerful methods, he should have no problem defending himself in a treasure hunt where only foundation stage cultivators are participating! Even if he encounters a situation where he is outnumbered, he can use his methods to gain some time and activate the law disk to return to the Star Ocean at any time.

  Although there are some threats, compared with the possible gains, this risk is really nothing.

  So Zhao Di carefully considered it and decided to go to those two places to take a look.

  After making the decision, Zhao Di had to make thorough preparations for his actions a year later.

  It's definitely not possible to cultivate the Ice Wind Python and increase some strength within a year. My own cultivation has also reached a bottleneck, and I can't make any progress except for forming a dan. The only thing that can be done is to add some magical instruments or talismans.

  Ling had a large number of Zhao's artifacts, but he didn't dare to show them easily. As for attack and defense magic tools, he had the Red Cloud Thirteen Needles and two or three decent shields, which were enough.

  It seems like there is still a bit of deficiency in his former specialty, Fu Lu Shou.

  After he built the foundation, although he also took advantage of the time to capture and kill demon beasts, he had practiced some foundation-building techniques, but he rarely made foundation-building talismans. As a result, his current talismans are still mainly from the Qi-refining period, middle and high grades, although there are still many in number, but for his current cultivation, it is really difficult to use them!

  If there were a large number of foundation-establishing talismans, it would be different! Apart from greatly increasing his strength, talismans are common items that won't attract attention as long as they're not used in excess. They can be used as a regular means of dealing with enemies. Although his strongest power is still when using the Blazing Heaven Blade, once he uses the Blazing Heaven Blade, he must ensure no one survives! Otherwise, it would expose the secret of the high-grade spirit stones and attract the pursuit of high-grade cultivators.

  If you encounter a situation where you are outnumbered and don't have the confidence to kill with one blow, then the Blazing Sky Blade is not very convenient to use. If you have some foundation-building talismans and add the Red Cloud Thirteen Needles and other magical tools, self-defense will be more than sufficient!

  So Zhao Di decided to use this year's time to make a batch of foundation period talismans.

  He is now at the late stage of foundation building, and using foundation building spells is no longer a problem. He just needs to seal the spell into a talisman.

  The foundation-laying talisman has requirements for materials, which are not as simple as the talismans of the refining qi period. At the very least, the brush, cinnabar, and paper all have different considerations.

  With Zhao Di's selection of suitable fifth-grade demonic beast bones and whiskers, he could easily refine a top-quality symbol brush that would be sufficient for use.

  The best Dansha is made from the blood of a third-grade or higher demon beast, which can be easily bought in the market on Penglai Fairy Island, and the price is negligible.

  Generally speaking, the most expensive is talisman paper. The foundation-building talismans must be made from the skins of third-grade or higher demon beasts, and ordinary talisman papers cannot withstand the extremely powerful spiritual energy contained in the foundation-building talismans!

  Zhao Di hunted and killed countless demonic beasts, so naturally, there wouldn't be a lack of beast hides.

  It seems that everything is ready, and Zhao Di has a good chance of producing a large batch of foundation-laying talismans!

  Then for the next year, Zhao Di practiced the art of talisman-making day and night in his own cave.

  Feeling tired, he would sit and rest for a while; if his spiritual energy was insufficient, he would extravagantly use high-grade spirit stones to replenish it. As such, the efficiency of his talisman crafting could be described as astonishingly extreme!

  The foundational period's magic spells are mostly complex and laborious to cast, taking a relatively long time, with some spells even requiring nearly half an hour of casting time!

  This is also why foundation-building cultivators never use magic to attack during a duel. That long casting time is enough for the opponent to kill them countless times!

  The talismans are different, the foundation period talismans can also produce instant releases; if used skillfully, they can also simultaneously trigger multiple talismans of the same kind. This is the power of talismans.

  Zhao Di worked day and night without stopping to refine the foundation period talismans, refining over a dozen every day.

  Zhao Di's experience in making talismans can be considered extremely rich, with over 10,000 instances of talisman-making experience, which is even hard for some talisman masters to reach.

  He originally thought that with his own symbol technique, refining the foundation period symbol would not be too difficult. But after he failed once and again, he found out it wasn't that simple!

  When refining the strongest defensive talisman "Huang Tian Hou Tu Fu" in the foundation-building period, he failed more than 50 times in a row and almost gave up. If he hadn't finally succeeded in refining one on his 57th attempt, it would be questionable whether he had the confidence to continue!

  Apart from the Yellow Heaven Thick Earth Talisman, Zhao Gong also refined the "True Yang Fire Crow Talisman", a fire-attributed attacking talisman.

  After experiencing hundreds and thousands of failures, Zhao Di finally managed to raise the success rate of refining the foundation period talismans to around 10%. This was still only because he focused on refining two types of talismans; if he were to refine more types, his success rate would probably be greatly discounted!

  With this, Zhao Di possessed nearly two hundred foundation-establishing symbols, which made his strength reach an unimaginable level for ordinary people.
