The more thorough the preparations made beforehand for an adventure of unknown danger, the greater the chance of surviving it.
Zhou Yang had experienced many adventures in his life, but there had not been many like this one, where he could prepare in advance.
And in those few adventures, it was precisely because he had prepared sufficiently that he had managed to endure through unimaginably perilous circumstances.
Therefore, he attached equal importance to his preparations this time.
He had less than three years to prepare. Clearly, that was not enough time to cultivate some divine ability, so what he needed to prepare were all kinds of items that might come in handy.
Talismans and pills were naturally the first things he needed to prepare. Sixth-tier Talismans and spirit pills were difficult to buy, so Zhou Yang either crafted them himself or purchased them elsewhere. He prepared quite a few fifth-tier spirit pills for healing and restoring essence, along with a large number of fire-element defensive talismans.
When preparing talismans, he specifically chose jade talismans made from spirit jade.
For the same talisman, a jade talisman made from spirit jade rich in spiritual power was not only somewhat more powerful than one made from talisman paper, but also consumed less of the user's mana when used.
Zhou Yang did not lack spirit stones now, and he could craft talismans himself, so naturally he chose the best available.
Then, considering that he might need to break formations and restrictions, he prepared three sets of formations that might prove useful. These formations were all spoils he had acquired in the past, so there was no need to spend additional spirit stones.
However, these pills, talismans, and formations were all conventional auxiliary items. They could not truly help him avoid those fatal dangers.
Thus,
