"If the Gold Armor-Breaking Talisman, a third-rank middle-grade talisman, could be used as the foundation to construct a Three Talents Talisman Array, even a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Golden Core would face a life-threatening situation."

This thought flashed through Xu Ping's mind, and a surge of uncontrollable excitement rose within him.

With a flip of his palm, three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans appeared in his hand.

The runes on the talisman paper flickered, seem to emit traces of gold attribute Spiritual Power fluctuations.

"Rise!"

Xu Ping lightly called out, as his Mana surged like a flowing stream through his meridians and into his palm.

Under the activation of Mana, the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans glowed with spiritual light, and suddenly flew from his palm, quietly hovering in the air.

Xu Ping then concentrated entirely, following the steps to construct the Three Talents Talisman Array, proceeding step by step.

However, when the process reached the final step "trap", a sudden change occurred.

The three originally obedient Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans began to show subtle signs of mutual repulsion.

A slight tremor emerged from the talismans.

"Buzz..."

As the seconds ticked by, the repulsion between the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans grew stronger, and the amplitude of the tremors increased.

It seemed as if an invisible force was driving them to break free from their constraints.

"Trap!"

Xu Ping's face tensed, he gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, with veins slightly bulging on his forehead.

He desperately tried to use his Mana to control the gradually disordered situation.

But the third-rank Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans, at this moment, appeared to be like rebellious youths.

The more Xu Ping tried to suppress them, the more they resisted, becoming ever more defiant.

"Bang!"

Finally, the repulsion reached its limit between the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans.

With a loud bang, they suddenly released like highly compressed springs, violently shooting off in different directions.

"Not good!"

Xu Ping's face changed dramatically, immediately channeling Mana throughout his body, forming a massive Mana hand in front of him.

Just as the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans were about to hit the wall, it securely caught them in his hand.

Although the impact should not normally damage the Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans, it's better to be cautious.

If the talisman paper gets damaged, the contained power would indiscriminately explode.

His small Thousand Leaves Mountain could not withstand the power of a third-rank middle-grade talisman.

"Fortunately it's not broken."

Xu Ping tightly grasped the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans, and upon confirming their intact condition, he let out a breath of relief.

Yet, thinking back to the failed attempt to construct a Three Talents Talisman Array with the Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans as the foundation, a trace of helplessness crossed his face.

"The proficiency in 'Spirit Silk Skill' is still insufficient; the control is lacking," Xu Ping thoughtfully considered.

The power contained in the Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans is indeed overwhelming; controlling them at will is unimaginably difficult.

With his current Minor Achievement level in "Spirit Silk Skill", it's truly challenging to perfect control, leading to the situation of mutual repulsion between talismans.

According to his estimate, at least mastering the 'Spirit Silk Skill' would be required to fully control them.

"Mastery, huh!" Xu Ping murmured to himself, yet his heart wasn't too disappointed.

He has plenty of time ahead.

Moreover, the outside world, though turbulent due to exterminating evil spirits and the relics of the Nine Nether Elder.

But it hasn't affected the peace within Thousand Leaves Mountain.

His status and strength as a third-rank Talisman Master are recognized, coupled with his habit of seclusion, rarely venturing out to stir trouble, enemies have nearly disappeared.

Naturally, no one would bother trying to confront him unnecessarily.

After safely storing the three Gold Armor-Breaking Talismans, Xu Ping began meditating to restore his Mana.

Given his current cultivation, using third-rank talismans for the Three Talents Talisman Array consumes a great deal of Mana.

...

Several hours later.

The Mana in Xu Ping's Dantian has fully recovered.

"Phew!"

Xu Ping opened his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.

Just as he stood up, the Divine Sense transmission from the Water Lake Rat entered his mind.

"Master, Hongyi has arrived!"

"Hongyi?"

Xu Ping's expression shifted, responding via Divine Sense, "Understood, I'll go to welcome him now."

After tidying his robe, he stepped out of the cultivation chamber to welcome Hongyi.

...

In the pavilion.

Xu Ping poured a cup of Spirit Tea for Hongyi, smilingly asking, "Has Fellow Daoist Hong arrived today because you found the items I entrusted to you previously?"

"Precisely."

Hongyi picked up the teacup, smiling and nodding.

After drinking the Spirit Tea, he handed Xu Ping a storage bag: "After a year, I've finally prepared all the items Fellow Daoist Xu needed."

Xu Ping took the storage bag, scanning it with his Divine Sense.

He saw that it was filled with Quasi-Tier Three Spirit Iron Profound Crystal Iron, Quasi-Tier Three Spiritual Ore Flame Sun Crystal... and some auxiliary materials.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hong, it's very complete, and the quantity meets the requirements." Xu Ping gratefully cupped his hands.

He couldn't help but think: The Fake Pill cultivators are indeed quick; if it were cultivators like Duan Shuang and Gong Yang at the Foundation Establishment level, gathering so many Quasi-Tier Three materials would take years.

"This is a reward for Fellow Daoist Hong." Xu Ping flipped his palm, and a Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman appeared in his hand.

He then handed it to Hongyi.
