The Insect External Incarnation had just obtained Spiritual Medicines from nine Storage Bags from the Blood Demon Sect and had also acquired the Ancient Talisman Wings and Void Profound Stones, so these items had to be brought back quickly. The Void Profound Stone could be refined into space-related treasures, making it convenient to carry a large number of Spirit Fish. The Ancient Talisman Wings enhanced the killing power of Talismans, increasing combat and survival capabilities.

Let's first test the effect of the Banishing Evil Talisman, Jia Ren thought. He had obtained the Ancient Talisman Wings but had not personally used them yet, so he decided to test their effect first. From his Storage Bag, he took out twelve of the worst quality Banishing Evil Talismans as experimental items.

Activate!

The Ancient Talisman Wings ignited with crimson Burning Evil Flame, and the wings were enveloped in dense Burning Evil Flame, which surged up in waves nearly ten feet high. The Burning Evil Flame emitted no heat and wouldn't affect the user. Jia Ren controlled the wings as they flapped, transforming into a streak of crimson light that shot into the sky.

The combination of Ancient Talisman Wings and the Burning Flames Talisman is equivalent to a special Evil-Warding Treasure, he realized. Thanks to the characteristics of the Burning Evil Flame, even after the Talisman's power was depleted, there was still no sign of the flame extinguishing. It constantly resided on the Ancient Talisman Wings without causing any damage, seemingly stable in this state. Combined, they could be called the Wings of Banishing Evil!

Jia Ren opened the core; the internal Talismans had been fully consumed. At this moment, other types of Talismans could still be used. So the Ancient Talisman Wings can use both the Banishing Evil Talisman and one additional type of Talisman? This new discovery lit up Jia Ren's eyes, and his gaze became extremely fervent.

Twelve Fire Bullet Talismans were inserted into the Ancient Talisman Wings, which ignited with a new layer of crimson flame. The flames were split into two layers, each burning independently without interference. With a thought from Jia Ren, he controlled the two different flames to converge. Twelve bicolored giant fireballs flew out and bombarded the distance. After losing both types of flames, the Ancient Talisman Wings returned to their original dark black appearance.

What a treasure! The more Jia Ren looked at it, the happier he became, eager to study and replicate the Ancient Talisman Wings. He packed away the Ancient Talisman Wings without further testing. Good steel should be used on the cutting edge. Jia Ren didn't want the Ancient Talisman Wings to become damaged and unusable at a critical moment before he had successfully replicated them.

He switched to flying on his sword and headed towards Poisonous Miasma Lake. As he drew closer to Poisonous Miasma Lake, he could see the tracks of many Demon Cultivators. They were moving about separately, as if looking for something.

Still busy searching for Spiritual Medicine? Such diligence! Jia Ren thought, a teasing expression on his face. Too bad, there are no more Foundation Establishment Pills! He promptly put away the Magic Sword and transformed into a Spirit Insect to fly away. Cultivators easily attracted the attention of Demon Cultivators, whereas Spirit Insects were too common in such harsh environments and could easily pass unnoticed. Moreover, this way he wouldn't lead Demon Cultivators to his lair and cause unnecessary trouble.

The journey was peaceful, without any oblivious Demon Cultivators tracking him, and he safely returned to Water Curtain Cave.

You've worked hard! Jia Ren thought as he took out a hundred Worm Saint Pills and fed them to a hundred Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings. They assembled into the Insect External Incarnation and sat down to cultivate.

The Insect External Incarnation had two cultivation systems. One was growth through feeding on Worm Saint Pills; the Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings that made up the Insect External Incarnation would constantly become stronger, improving both their individual strength and the overall strength of the Insect External Incarnation. The second path was for the Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings, combined as the Insect External Incarnation, to meditate and cultivate just like normal cultivators, enhancing their power. The latter was not difficult. Jia Ren possessed a large quantity of aged Spiritual Medicines, enough to refine an endless supply of high-quality Spirit Pills. This would ensure worry-free cultivation for both himself and the Insect External Incarnation.

After returning, the Insect External Incarnation went into seclusion with a large amount of Elixirs to cultivate and increase its power. Jia Ren was not in a rush to refine Magic Artifacts or replicate the Ancient Talisman Wings. Instead, he entered the Alchemy Room to prioritize the production of Worm Saint Pills and Fish Saint Pills, stockpiling them.

I can achieve three limit breaks now, Jia Ren mused. Over three years, he had accumulated quite a few Skill Breaking Points but had yet to use them. Offensive, defensive, and auxiliary Spells and secret techniques had no opportunity to come into play, so he wasn't in a rush for a limit break. It would be better to improve crafts that consistently yield resources.

Fish Saint Pills had miraculous effects on Spirit Fish, helping the Fathead Fish Demons and the cultivated Phoenix Flame Tail Fish accelerate growth and transformation. Whether he could raise Golden Core Level Spirit Fish in the future, and obtain Phoenix Flame Tails to refine Life-bound Magic Treasures, depended crucially on higher-quality Fish Saint Pills. Worm Saint Pills could rapidly enhance the strength of the Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings and the Insect External Incarnation, making their combat power astounding. Additionally, they could induce atavism in Spirit Insects that produced by-products. Silk produced by Second Order Black Gold Silkworms was an excellent material for crafting top-notch Robes. Spider Silk produced by Second Order Devouring Spirit Spiders was extremely resilient and possessed Devil Devouring properties, making it a premium material for Robes and Magic Artifacts. First Order Superior Grade Green Source Bees produced a large amount of high-quality honey. As the Worm Saint Pill continued its limit breaks, the quality of the Spirit Insects would also rise correspondingly.

The Fish Saint Pill had undergone its second limit break, reaching the Extraordinary Saint Level. The third limit break would consume even more Skill Breaking Points.

Limit break! Jia Ren mentally commanded, touching the plus sign behind the Fish Saint Pill.

BUZZ!

The Proficiency Panel vibrated, and the option for Fish Saint Pill became blurred, taking a long time to return to clarity.

[Unnamed Life Pill (formerly Fish Saint Pill): Skill Approaches the Dao (1/12,800)]

In the next moment, new knowledge and insights flowed into his mind, revealing more information about the new Elixir.

Ancestral Fish Sage Pill!

The new name took shape, and the newly renamed Elixir was successfully termed Ancestral Fish Sage Pill on the Proficiency Panel. Compared to the Fish Saint Pill, the requirements for the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill were astoundingly higher: Second Order Earth-Escaping Dragon Worm corpses, two main medicinal ingredients that were three hundred years old, and numerous auxiliary herbs not less than a hundred years old. If it hadn't been for Jia Ren's years of control over the Blood Demon Sect, using Demon Cultivators to collect a large number of hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines, it definitely wouldn't have been possible to meet these conditions. Second Order Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms weren't difficult to obtain; among the bred Spirit Insects, there were a few approaching Second Order, capable of atavism.

Following the limit break of the Fish Saint Pill was that of the Worm Saint Pill.

[Ancestor Insect Holy Pill: Skill Approaches the Dao (1/12,800)]

This was just like the Fish Saint Pill's upgrade, with increased quality of ingredients and greater difficulty in concocting. He had most of the hundred-year-old Spiritual Medicines on hand; only the Second Order Earth Spirit Tree Sap was missing, preventing him from refining it. The better the effects of the Elixir, the more stringent the requirements and restrictions for its concoction.

First, prepare the materials for the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, Jia Ren decided.

The Insect Breeding Room was several times larger than before. Inside, a hundred thousand Spirit Insects could be seen living in extremely dense conditions. The number and variety of Spirit Insects were vast, having undergone several rounds of selection; those without much breeding value had long been discarded. Further away, a few Spirit Insects were still in a state of metamorphosis; these were from a King Insect Fusion conducted not long ago. The method used wasn't ordinary fusion, but… chaotic fusion. Chaotic fusion had a low success rate and was more prone to failure. Chaotic fusion was like opening a blind box; when it ended, one might not necessarily obtain a fine variant Spirit Insect. It could also go terribly wrong, resulting in a useless Spirit Insect.

Dead? Jia Ren walked up to the metamorphosing Spirit Insects and found that the ones resulting from chaotic fusion had already died. What a pity! To this, he was no stranger.

Moving to the Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms, dozens of them had strong auras, all reaching the peak of First Order, only a small step away from breakthrough. Let's add something extra for you. The Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms didn't have high potential; atavism would be enough to meet the requirements. Instead of feeding them a large number of Worm Saint Pills, they were given Spirit Nourishing Pills and Ancestral Worm Pills to ensure they wouldn't starve. He fed ten Worm Saint Pills each to the three strongest Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms in one go, until they met the requirements for metamorphosis.

「Two days later.」

Strong auras fluctuated from within the Insect Breeding Room. Out of the three Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms, two had successfully metamorphosed and advanced to Second Order Spirit Insects. Jia Ren unceremoniously picked up one of the Second Order Earth-Escaping Dragon Worms and entered the Alchemy Room.

「One day later.」

A strong fragrance emanated from the Alchemy Room. When the Pill Furnace was opened, nine deep blue pills, the size of a little finger, had formed.

Success! With the newly concocted Ancestral Fish Sage Pill in hand, Jia Ren had mixed feelings. The Ancestral Fish Sage Pill was definitely more effective than the Fish Saint Pill, its medicinal power more concentrated, but the yield per refinement was low. The quantity of three-hundred-year-old medicinal materials was limited. At most, he could concoct three more batches using suitable Spiritual Medicines, with a total that definitely wouldn't exceed forty pills. This item couldn't be used indiscriminately. It couldn't be fed daily like rations and had to be reserved for an elite path.

Having concocted the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, he headed straight for the Fish Pond. In the pond, a total of fifteen Second Order Phoenix Flame Tail Fish were swimming around, along with Second Order Black Dragon Fish and Second Order Boneless Silverfish. Each was nearing the peak of low-grade Second Order, not far from mid-grade. The Fish Saint Pill greatly enhanced the Spirit Fish, and they were supplied with pills every day, so their strength increased swiftly.

Let's test the effects! As he took out an Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, the Second Order Spirit Fish nearly went berserk, all leaping out of the Fish Pond simultaneously.

"Get back!"

A giant Drowning Water Prison instantly formed, suppressing each and every Second Order Spirit Fish on the spot, preventing them from escaping. The Drowning Water Prison continuously eroded their Scale Armor, which visibly became pitted at a rapid rate.

"Here you go." Jia Ren tossed the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill to the largest of the Second Order Phoenix Flame Tail Fish.

Once the pill was consumed by one, the other Spirit Fish turned on their companion, wanting to devour it to seize the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill. Through the Heart Language Technique, he could feel their almost frenzied desire. The Drowning Water Prison segregated and suppressed them, thus cutting off the source of the rioting.

The Phoenix Flame Tail Fish that consumed the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill experienced a rapid increase in aura, much like a normal Spirit Fish consuming Spirit Attracting Bait for the first time. Unfortunately, a second atavism didn't occur; the first one had already exhausted all the Phoenix Flame Tail Fish's potential.

BOOM!

The Phoenix Flame Tail Fish's aura surged, and it achieved a breakthrough, reaching the mid-stage of Second Order. Its body grew a size larger, and the color of the Phoenix Flame Tail on its back deepened.

The medicinal power is very strong! Jia Ren had anticipated that the brand-new Ancestral Fish Sage Pill would have amazing effects, but he still underestimated its power. Just one pill advanced the Phoenix Flame Tail Fish to mid-grade Second Order? This was undoubtedly also due to the effects of the Fish Saint Pill; without over three years of continuous feeding, it wouldn't have broken through so quickly.

Let's try with a few more! Jia Ren successively fed the remaining eight Ancestral Fish Sage Pills in his hand. Without exception, all eight of the remaining Second Order Phoenix Flame Tail Fish successfully broke through.

Too powerful! he thought. It definitely has a miraculous effect in helping fish spirits break through bottlenecks. This pill needed to be concocted in large quantities; the more, the better.

I wonder how many Ancestral Fish Sage Pills it would take to help the Fathead Fish Demon break through to Third Order? Having witnessed the impressive effects of the Ancestral Fish Sage Pill, Jia Ren believed it should be remarkably effective in advancing the Fathead Fish Demon. A Third-Order Fathead Fish Demon would be comparable to the Golden Core Stage, granting him another powerful trump card.

Decisively, Jia Ren headed straight for the Alchemy Room to continue concocting the brand-new Ancestral Fish Sage Pills.
