Even so, they still praised her high success rate in making talismans.

Because making talismans is like refining pills, there is no guarantee of a 100% success rate, even experienced people will make mistakes occasionally.

As a result, all the saved materials were pocketed by her.

Moreover, her talisman-making speed is much faster than that of talisman masters of the same level. She can draw the talismans she uses after completing her daily targets.

She used materials provided by Yunyan Pavilion, and besides spending some time on it herself, it cost her almost nothing. It was a delight.

The only drawback was that the cave with the talisman-making room arranged for her by Yunyan Pavilion was located underground, too close to the sealed place.

Even though they repeatedly assured her that this place was safe, she still felt uneasy as she was staying next to a nuclear reactor and a nuclear leak could happen at any time.

Just as Wang Xiaoyue was about to sit down and practice properly, the ground began to shake slightly.

The tremors became more and more obvious, her brows furrowed, and she had a bad feeling.

Then her premonition was soon fulfilled.

The vibration became noticeably more intense, the tables and chairs in the cave shook, and the pill bottle on the table rolled to the ground.

"What...what's going on?" The woman had a strong sense of crisis, thinking that something was about to happen.

There is a high possibility that there will be a big problem with that seal.

What the hell, I've only been here for a few days and I've already run into her. How unlucky is that?

That's not right. She remembered that the book she wrote did not mention anything major that happened in Yunyan Pavilion.

Later, the protagonists have several normal interactions with Yunyan Pavilion. Although Yunyan Pavilion has no role in the later part of the story, nothing has happened in the opportunities it has appeared, so there should be no danger.

But Wang Xiaoyue herself was not very confident. She felt that her luck was extremely bad, so it was better to prepare for the worst.

No, she had to confirm if the situation here was extremely bad.

Then she had no choice but to give up this place decisively. She had to leave here and develop somewhere else.

She was walking in a collapsing underground passage, with gravel and rubble falling from above from time to time.

The closer she got to the seal, the more uneasy she became.

"Senior, have you noticed anything wrong?" The woman communicated with the Painting Fairy through her mind again.

Although the Painting Fairy has lost her physical body, her spirit is powerful and her spiritual awareness is at the top level in the world.

So she soon found out what happened in the sealed area.

She fed back the image that she "saw" with her spiritual consciousness to Wang Xiaoyue, and the corresponding image appeared directly in the latter's mind.

There was a person standing in front of the seal that had been reinforced not long ago.

The man's body was charred and bloody, looking like a monster.

But his flesh and blood were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he gradually turned into a middle-aged man who looked somewhat fierce.

A blood ball was suspended in his hand, and wisps of black air were emanating from the seal. As if being attracted by something, the black evil energy was entangled on the blood ball.

Then Gu Zhongyan threw the blood ball, and the blood ball was pulled by the black air and merged into the seal.

Boom!

A sound similar to the beating heart of a giant creature came from the seal.

Immediately afterwards, numerous mysterious golden runes lit up on the seal, but the runes soon began to distort strangely, and their color changed from gold to a blood-red.

"What is this?" Wang Xiaoyue felt creepy just by seeing this picture.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the picture looked in her direction.

Wang Xiaoyue was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground and crawled back for a distance before she remembered that this was a picture coming from far away, not right in front of her.

"Did he discover me?" Wang Xiaoyue asked the Painting Fairy anxiously.

"They should have noticed it, but they haven't discovered your current location yet. It's really not safe here, so it's best to run away." The Painting Fairy also smelled danger.

She even suspected that this girl was the reincarnation of a jinx, as she always encountered bad luck.

Although Gu Zhongyan felt that he was being spied on, he could no longer turn back. At this point, he could only lift the seal as soon as possible.

The seal was covered with magic-sealing talismans, but after the blood ball merged into the seal, these magic-sealing talismans began to move automatically without wind, and many talisman papers even fell off by themselves.

Gu Zhongyan felt that it was not fast enough, so he raised his hand and a strong wind blew here.

The talisman papers pasted on the seal all fluttered in the air like fallen leaves in a strong wind.

Without the suppression of the demon-sealing talisman, the effectiveness of the seal was further weakened.

"Unfortunately, the amount of blood collected is quite small. If we could kill any one of them and draw out all the blood from them, it would be much faster."

At this time, Gu Zhongyan's eyes had turned pure black, as if filled with demonic energy.

It was all because of that man who came out of nowhere and ruined his plan.

Otherwise, he would have been able to complete the plan successfully.

Gu Zhongyan's realm has remained at the level of Perfect Spirit Transformation for a long time. He has encountered a bottleneck and no matter how hard he practices, he cannot make any further progress.

He could not find an opportunity to break through the Void Refining Stage, nor could he comprehend any insights into the Tao.

Just when he thought he might be stuck forever, he accidentally wandered here one day many years ago.

A voice told him that as long as he opened the seal, the person inside would be able to give him the answer to breaking through the realm of refining emptiness.

He didn't believe it at first and thought it was a betrayal of the Gu family.

But the voice sneered at him, laughing at him for having worked for the Gu family for so many years and not knowing that he had been deceived.

The mysterious voice said that it was actually the Gu family's fault that he became an orphan.

It was his adoptive father who killed his biological parents, and then hypocritically took him in to the Exorcist Society.

What kind of nonsense is this? He scoffed at it at the time and didn't believe it at all.

But this incident planted a seed in his heart.

One day, my adoptive father prepared a set of materials that could help one break through to the Void Refinement Stage, and wanted to give it to the disciple in the Demon Exorcist Association who had the greatest hope of a breakthrough.

My adoptive father said that he had suffered too many hidden injuries and his potential had been exhausted. He was afraid that even with these materials, there would be no hope of breaking through to the realm of refining emptiness, so he left the opportunity to the younger generation.

Gu Zhongyan thought this opportunity would fall into his hands.

In the end, the things ended up in the hands of his adopted brother, who was his adoptive father's biological son.

He clearly worked so hard for the Demon Extermination Society. In every action, he was always at the forefront and killed the most demons.

But despite his hard work, he did not get any recognition from his adoptive father.

His adoptive father knew that he would be very disappointed for not being able to obtain this breakthrough material, so he came to comfort him.

Gu Zhongyan remembers it very clearly that his adoptive father said he knew he would definitely not be satisfied with this decision.

But since both of them were his children, he was hesitant about who to give the item to. Later, his family held a meeting to decide the matter.

The result of their discussion was to give the breakthrough material to the patriarch's biological son.

Haha, when a group of Gu family members hold a meeting to discuss, they will definitely favor the Gu family.

Although his surname is also Gu, he is just an outsider.

From then on, Gu Zhongyan's loyalty to the Gu family began to waver.

His adoptive father finally told him that if he got another set of materials later, he would definitely give it to him.

But gathering all the materials again is no easy task. Will it take ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years?

But he could only swallow his anger because he was just an adopted son.

However, what was funny was that his brother-in-law failed to break through when he used that breakthrough material to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

Not only did it waste materials, but it also damaged the foundation, causing the realm to regress. At that time, the entire Demon Exorcist Association was in a panic, and all the elders rushed back from their various bases to visit the young master of the Gu family.

It is extremely difficult for a cultivator to break through to a higher realm, and it may even be a life-threatening situation.

From the moment you break through the Nascent Soul stage, you will have to face the baptism of heavenly tribulation. If you can withstand it, you will be promoted to the next great realm and be able to go further on the path to immortality.

However, those who cannot withstand the heavenly tribulation will basically be reduced to ashes under the thunder, and from then on they will owe their credit to heaven and earth.

However, after countless generations of research, some methods have been developed to ensure a cultivator's survival after a failed tribulation, such as life-saving magic weapons, taking certain elixirs beforehand, or using special formations.

When the young master of the Gu family was undergoing the tribulation, a full set of these things were prepared, which almost drained out two-thirds of the family's property.

Ordinary cultivators could not afford such a high price. They either endured the tribulation or died.

Therefore, his sworn brother was very lucky that he failed to pass the tribulation and was only seriously injured and his realm regressed.

He often wondered if he had used this batch of materials to overcome the tribulation, would the result be different.

Unfortunately, he was not given this opportunity.

He originally thought that after this incident was over, he would forget the injustice the Gu family had done to him.

But things did not go as he wished, and one day he returned to the small mountain village where he was born.

Having been away from here for hundreds of years, he wanted to see how the place where he once lived had changed.

After arriving at the place, he realized that the mountain village in his memory was no longer there. It had not been rebuilt, but was completely covered by green vegetation.

He parted the grass to see the traces of the past.

However, this place has changed beyond recognition and there is no trace of the original village.

Gu Zhongyan walked around there several times and made a special discovery.

Although hundreds of years have passed, some landforms still bear traces of the monks' battles.

He saw several knife marks near the ruins of the village.

And judging from the interlaced trajectory of the knife marks, this is a somewhat familiar set of knife techniques.

It was not until later when he saw his adoptive father perform this set of swordsmanship that he realized that there must be something strange about why he became an orphan.

He remembered what the man in the seal had said to him.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill down his spine.

No, no, it can't be like this.

He hypnotized himself.

But curiosity eventually won out.

After much investigation, he even found a master of celestial deduction in other places.

The final result was that his adoptive father was indeed related to the destruction of his village.

Later he returned to the sealed place and made contact with the mysterious voice again.

Guided by the mysterious voice, he finally determined one thing.

His adoptive father was indeed the murderer who killed his biological parents and more than 300 people in the same village.

Even though he was trying to eliminate the devil and ended up hurting innocent people, it did not change the fact that he was the criminal who took the lives of his parents.

……

Gu Zhongyan withdrew his thoughts, and the runes on the seal became hideous and terrifying after a twist.

The red light illuminates this place, giving people an extremely weird feeling.

boom!

Without warning, the seal broke and an explosion occurred.

Gu Zhongyan, who was standing closest, was affected by the explosion. His body flew backwards and hit the rock wall.

On the other side, Wang Xiaoyue also ran out from the underground exit. Just as she saw the moon in the sky, the passage behind her collapsed.

The ground shook even more violently than before, almost like an earthquake.

"Huh! Fortunately I got out." Wang Xiaoyue ran while looking back.

She was still feeling lucky that she had escaped, and was thinking about where to go next.

But he accidentally bumped into someone and fell to the ground.

The little cat mask on her face also fell off in the collision.

In her panic, she saw a man's face.
