Xuanming Heavenly Venerable was a dignified eighth-rank powerhouse. Even if he tried to force a lump of dog shit into Gao Xian's hands, Gao Xian could not very well refuse outright.
Whatever problems the Myriad Evil Yin Talisman might have, he could only accept it for now.
In any case, there was still Sister Bai, and there was Ninth Uncle. If the Myriad Evil Yin Talisman truly had a problem, he could leave it to those two to handle.
"Heavenly Venerable has shown me such favor and bestowed this precious treasure upon me. I can only accept it with shame." Holding the Myriad Evil Yin Talisman in his hand, Gao Xian cupped his fists and offered his thanks with a solemn expression.
"Haha..."
Xuanming Heavenly Venerable seemed quite pleased. Nodding, he said, "It cannot be called much of a precious treasure. It should simply be of some use to you. Giving it to you is most fitting."
"This junior is slow-witted and does not know what exactly the Myriad Evil Yin Talisman is, or what wondrous uses it possesses. Could Heavenly Venerable enlighten me?" Gao Xian had no idea what this thing was, so naturally he had to get to the bottom of it.
"When primordial chaos first opened, it divided into the clear and turbid two qi. This object was a trace of filth within that turbid qi...
"A Divine King once said: 'The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of Heaven and Earth. It seems to endure without end; draw upon it, and it is never exhausted.' This speaks of the source of the Great Dao, the beginning of Heaven and Earth. After undergoing acquired transformation, that trace of filth became the root of foul qi, also known as the foul root."
