not good!

Yang Fan hurriedly released the Golden Shield Talisman.

A golden shield appeared in front of Yang Fan, attempting to block the dark light.

"Snap!"

The dark light instantly tore through the golden shield.

Although the golden shield temporarily blocked the dark light, it was torn apart in a very short moment.

Then the dark light landed in front of Yang Fan.

"Damn it!"

Yang Fan cursed and hurriedly threw out a few more golden shield talismans.

"Snap!"

A series of sounds of the light shield shattering rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Fan's expression turned extremely ugly.

Fortunately, after being blocked by so many golden shield talismans, the dark light was significantly reduced.

Yang Fan hurriedly dodged to the side, but the dark light still landed on him in the end.

"Damn it!"

Yang Fan hurriedly tore open his clothes and immediately saw a faint black palm print on his chest.

The palm print emanated a wisp of black energy, giving it a somewhat sinister and terrifying appearance.

Fortunately, the black mist disappeared after a short while, leaving only a faint handprint, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

But when Yang Fan saw the gray handprint on his chest, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"You old bastard, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Yang Fan angrily walked towards the old Taoist priest, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

"Ahem!"

The old Taoist coughed and struggled to look at Yang Fan. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the mark on Yang Fan's chest.

Only then did Yang Fan see the old Taoist priest's current appearance clearly.

A large gash appeared on the old Taoist's originally ferocious and terrifying face.

Clearly, this was caused by the talisman.

The old Taoist reacted quickly. Realizing that he couldn't avoid the talisman, he immediately decided to use other parts of his face to take the hit head-on.

To be honest, if Yang Fan hadn't had so many backup plans, the talisman alone might not have been able to seriously injure him.

Perhaps it was because of the old Taoist's special constitution that his body could still hold on despite being poisoned so much, which was quite unusual.

"It seems you've eliminated the Gu worms I left behind."

The old Taoist priest sighed as he spoke, and upon hearing this, Yang Fan took a deep breath and nodded.

"Old man, tell me how to get rid of this mark on my chest, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

Yang Fan wasn't inherently vicious, but since the matter concerned his own safety, he didn't mind using some methods against the old man.

"This thing is called the Blood Yin Mark, a secret technique of the Blood Fiend Sect."

"It is formed by a cultivator using their life essence and baleful aura before death, and it cannot be easily neutralized."

The old Taoist priest was clearly dying; he was spitting out blood as he spoke.

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want me to do to let you go?"

"If you can cure this, I might spare your life."

Yang Fan had tried his best to control his anger.

Hearing Yang Fan's words, the old Taoist shook his head with his last bit of strength.

"I've kept everything I need to say inside the gourd; you'll understand as soon as you see it."

After saying this, the old Taoist priest tilted his head to the side and then stopped breathing.

"You bastard!"

Enraged, Yang Fan kicked the old Taoist priest twice.

This old Taoist priest dealt with Yang Fan when he was alive, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't let him go even when he was dead.

Although the black palm print on his chest was neither painful nor itchy, Yang Fan felt extremely disgusted.

No one would feel comfortable having something like that on their body.

But the old Taoist priest was already dead, so there was no point in torturing him anymore.

After venting his anger for a while, Yang Fan could only pick up the old Taoist's snores.

This time he was much more cautious, and only picked up the gourd after confirming that it hadn't been tampered with.

There was a mark at the mouth of the gourd, but the mark was not strong, and Yang Fan easily removed it.

Then he looked inside.

The old Taoist priest was much poorer than he had imagined.

There were only a dozen or so spirit stones in the entire gourd, and the quality of these spirit stones was very poor, even among low-grade spirit stones.

He then put the spirit stone away.

Besides the spirit stones, there were also several jade slips inside.

This was an unexpected delight.

In the cultivation world, martial arts recorded in books are mostly ordinary; in comparison, martial arts techniques recorded in jade slips are much better.

Yang Fan carefully put away the jade slip with great interest.

He'll take a closer look at these things when he gets back.

Besides the jade slip, there was also a small cage inside the gourd.

Yang Fan opened it and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

This small cage was actually filled with all sorts of Gu worms.

At this moment, these Gu worms were crawling around incessantly in the cage, looking quite ferocious and terrifying.

"This old Taoist priest really does raise quite a few Gu worms."

Yang Fan put the cage back into the gourd with some disgust.

He didn't want to carry that thing with him at all times.

Besides the Gu worms, the old Taoist priest actually had quite a few elixirs in his gourd.

Upon opening a porcelain bottle, a strong odor wafted out.

Yang Fan quickly put the lid on the porcelain bottle.

It's unclear whether there's any poison in this pill, so he dares not take it.

"By the way, the old Taoist used a pill when he cast the Gu on me. Maybe we can find the insect eggs in that pill."

Yang Fan took out a drop of the pill and carefully broke it open.

They then discovered that there was indeed an egg in the center of the Gu worm.

Although the insect eggs were very small, they could not be hidden from Yang Fan at all.

"That old bastard, he even hides this kind of stuff in his pills."

Yang Fan cursed in disgust.

As for these pills, Yang Fan would never take them.

Firstly, they were unclear about the effects of the elixirs.

Secondly, there were insect eggs in the pills, so how could he possibly eat them?

After cleaning up everything else, a jade box was placed deep inside the gourd.

Yang Fan curiously opened the jade box, but after just one glance, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Inside the jade box was a letter.

"By the time you read this letter, I should already be dead, and dead at your hands."

"Friend, I don't know who you are, that's not important. What's important is that you should already be under my Blood Yin Mark at this moment."

"That old bastard, he was definitely prepared."

Yang Fan couldn't help but curse.

Unless he doesn't want the old Taoist's relics at all, judging from the looks of it, he'll definitely suffer a loss if the old Taoist comes over.

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest explained it very clearly in the following letter.

This blood yin mark was prepared in advance by the old Taoist priest. When he was on the verge of death, the mark would be activated and immediately fall on the person closest to him.

Yang Fan became the unlucky one.

"This blood yin mark is not painful at first, but every full moon night, your Tanzhong, Tianchi, and Yongquan acupoints will feel a dull pain."

"A year later, the pain will spread to the upper body and last for three days."

"In another year, you will become like a skeleton, like a walking corpse."

"At this point, you either have to wait to die, or you have to use the method of sacrificial refining to refine yourself into a living dead in order to avoid the blood yin mark from penetrating deeper."

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan trembled with rage, almost wanting to tear the letter to shreds.

"My friend, don't be nervous. There is a way to remove this mark. As long as you can remove the blood yin mark within two years, you will be fine."

A solution!

Yang Fan immediately became interested and began to read the letter carefully.

"This blood yin mark is formed from my essence and blood and evil energy. There are two conditions to remove it."

"The first thing is that you must cultivate the Blood Spirit Technique. I don't have the Blood Spirit Technique, but you can join the Blood Fiend Sect and learn it."

"Secondly, you must help me eliminate someone. Only this person's blood can dispel the evil energy I left behind."
