Fang Chen led more than a thousand Glazed Sword Sect Nascent Soul Cultivators into the Nine Prisons Demon Cave and ordered them to form a defensive Sword Formation as bait. Demons swarmed the formation in growing numbers, while Fang Chen remained calm and left the disciples to defend as the crowd around them exceeded a hundred thousand.

A month after the Wrath of the Heavenly Dragon appeared, it spread across the Central Barrens and displaced the Pill Pavilion’s Rejuvenation Pills. The Pill Pavilion investigated the pills’ source and ingredients, leaving the Black Dragon Dao Master waiting anxiously outside the Pill Carving Room.

• Zhang Chi told Master Hong Mo that the Wrath of the Heavenly Dragon was back in stock for two thousand Spirit Stones per pill, and Master Hong Mo sent him to buy pills with a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
• Buyers in Yunshui City quickly bought out the renewed supply, while Black Markets spread the pills to other cities and sold them at a steep markup.
• The Wrath of the Heavenly Dragon spread throughout the Central Barrens, and its popularity caused demand for the Pill Pavilion’s Rejuvenation Pills to collapse.
• The Pill Pavilion ordered its outlets to trace the pills’ source and sent them for ingredient analysis so it could try to reproduce them.
• The Black Dragon Dao Master paced outside the Pill Carving Room in Yudan City while the Pill Pavilion examined the pills.

• Fang Chen agreed to study before refining more pills, and the Black Flame Dao Master left to arrange development of the Fourth-Layer Space.
• Fang Chen went to the Library Pavilion to study talismans and found the Zixiao Daoist on its top floor.

Fang Chen learned the basics of Talisman Crafting, then made a Black Gourd, painting brushes, and a large batch of top-grade Talisman Blanks. He tested one blank and learned it could expand dramatically, while the Myna confirmed the blanks could hold Fifth- or even Sixth-Tier Formation Runes.

• The myna bird's seal began breaking, and it left the Glazed Hall to avoid damaging it with the surge of Spiritual Power.
• Fang Chen told Zixiao Daoist that the myna bird might come from the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court and had many sealed memories and cultivation methods.
