The talisman lay quietly on the brocade cushion, still radiating a faint, warm spiritual light even after a thousand years. However, at this moment, a dazzling blood-red light was faintly emanating from the cracks in the floor tiles beneath the talisman, which were the twelve blood-fiend lightning bolts buried underground.

"Found it! This is it! The sect leader said that this talisman is of utmost importance!" The black-robed cultivator's eyes instantly turned red, his face filled with greedy elation. He pushed aside the people around him and rushed forward in three steps, reaching out to grab the talisman on the high platform.

The moment his fingertips touched the cool jade surface of the talisman, the blood-fiend lightning beneath the ground was instantly triggered by the blood energy on the cultivator's body!

"BOOM—!!!" The twelve Blood Fiend Lightning bolts detonated simultaneously, and the blood-red fiendish energy erupted from the ground like a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing the entire ancestral hall!

Wherever that chilling, bone-piercing aura passed, the wooden memorial tablets instantly rotted into ash, and the hard floor tiles were corroded into countless pits. The dozen or so Blood Fiend Sect cultivators who rushed in didn't even have time to utter a scream before their meridians and souls were instantly eroded by the aura.

"Ah—!!" The piercing scream lasted only a moment before abruptly stopping. More than a dozen elite cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining, along with the magical artifacts in their hands, were instantly dissolved cleanly by the baleful aura, leaving not even a trace of bone fragments, only pools of foul-smelling black blood on the ground.

Just as the crimson aura was about to surge up onto the high platform, the ancient talisman that had been lying quietly suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light!

A soft hum rang out from the talisman, and the dazzling golden light surged like a tide, instantly breaking through the roof of the ancestral hall, engulfing the entire Zhao family mansion, and even spreading to the entire Qingyafang.

Within the golden light, there was a faint, strange phenomenon of burning alchemical fire, and a wondrous sight of thousands of runes flowing and dancing. A vast, warm, and profound Daoist aura of alchemical runes spread out, causing the spiritual energy of the entire market to instantly stagnate.

Elder Liu of the Blood Fiend Sect, who was toying with the Zhao family guards in mid-air, suddenly changed his expression. He abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of the ancestral hall, his eyes filled with shock and greed: "Ancient Daoist charm?! This is... an ancient inheritance?!"

The Zhao family guards who were fighting the robber cultivators, the bandits of Black Wind Stronghold, and even the rogue cultivators who were hiding in the corner trembling with fear were all startled by this golden light and Daoist aura. They all stopped what they were doing and looked incredulously in the direction of the Zhao family ancestral hall.

Everyone knows that an incredible treasure has been found in the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall!

Xu Yuan, who was lying on the roof of the restaurant, suddenly brightened up and tightened his grip on the talisman pen.

It's now!

He was waiting for this fleeting, perfect opportunity!

With a flick of his fingertips, Xu Yuan instantly crushed the top-grade Wind Travel Talisman he had hidden close to his body.

With a soft hum, wind-elemental spiritual power instantly enveloped his entire body, leaving only a faint afterimage in place. In an instant, he traversed hundreds of meters, avoiding the chaotic crowd in the square, and silently rushed into the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall under the cover of golden light.

At this moment, the ancestral hall is both the safest and the most chaotic.

The blood-red aura still lingered in the ancestral hall. People outside were attracted by the golden light and Daoist charm, but they were also wary of the terrifying aura inside and dared not rush in. Zhao Qiuyue and her guards were tightly entangled by the Blood Fiend Sect cultivators and could not spare the time to defend themselves. Even Elder Liu, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage in mid-air, had only just reacted and had not yet had time to move.

He was the only living person in the entire ancestral hall.

Xu Yuan flashed to the front of the platform, his eyes fixed on the ancient talisman that was radiating golden light.

He could clearly feel that the Daoist aura emanating from the talisman resonated subtly with the True Understanding of Fire Control within his body.

He reached out and placed his hand on the seal without hesitation.

The moment his fingertips touched the cool surface of the seal, the golden light of the seal surged instantly, completely enveloping his entire body!

"Buzz—!!" An indescribable, vast power surged wildly into his body from his fingertips, and all the contents of the first volume of the Danfu Dao Jing were clearly imprinted in his soul, never to be erased.

From the ultimate method of alchemy, the Myriad Transformations Elixir Fire Technique, to the fundamental principle of talisman drawing, the Thousand Talisman Dao Principle, and finally to the unity of elixir and talisman, all his insights flooded into his mind.

All the bottlenecks he had encountered in alchemy and talisman drawing suddenly became clear, and all the obscure and difficult parts of the True Explanation of Fire Control were instantly understood. Even his spiritual aperture, which had been sealed for ten years, loosened slightly under the influence of this Daoist aura, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate.

Just then, an aged yet gentle voice resounded deep within his mind, filled with satisfaction: "Three thousand years have passed, and finally, a successor with a pure soul has been found... Child, do not fail the Great Dao of Pills and Talismans..."

It is a wisp of remnant soul left in the talisman seal by the Daoist Danfu!

Xu Yuan was immersed in the vast Daoist energy; all his forbearance had been worthwhile at this moment.

But just as his soul and the talisman were completely bound, a terrifying pressure from the Foundation Establishment stage instantly swept down from the entrance of the ancestral hall, locking onto him!

The entire ancestral hall was completely sealed off by this oppressive force; even the air seemed to freeze, leaving no way out.

Xu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, instantly snapping out of his reverie about the inheritance, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, a blood-red figure stood silently; it was Elder Liu, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator from the Blood Fiend Sect.

He abandoned his pursuit of the Zhao family guards and rushed into the ancestral hall immediately. His sinister eyes were fixed on Xu Yuan, who was enveloped in golden light, and his eyes were filled with undisguised greed and chilling killing intent.

He glanced at the talisman in Xu Yuan's hand, a cruel sneer curling his lips, and uttered two chilling words: "You're courting death!"

The moment he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and crimson spiritual power gathered wildly. A Blood Soul Palm, carrying overwhelming murderous aura, took shape and slammed down towards Xu Yuan's back with a world-destroying force!

A full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator is enough to raze the entire ancestral hall to the ground.

The entire ancestral hall was completely sealed off by the oppressive aura, leaving Xu Yuan with nowhere to retreat. The Blood Soul Palm, carrying overwhelming killing intent, had already pressed against Xu Yuan's back.

The chilling, bone-piercing blood energy instantly seeped into his clothes, seeping into his body. The oppressive force of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's full-force attack caused the surrounding air to freeze completely, leaving him with nowhere to retreat or avoid.

If it were any other cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, they would probably be shattered to pieces by now, without even the strength to lift their hand, and could only close their eyes and wait for death.
