"Rituals..."
Wuxiang Watson had converted every ritual into a Seal Formula, including those contained in the Beast God Cult's knowledge.
Yin Ming had a solid foundation in Ritual Studies. Converting rituals into runes would not be difficult for him.
In other words,

Yin Ming was fully capable of creating the corresponding True-Name Totem Rune for that species and integrating it into its bloodline.
Then he could create the corresponding Bloodline Origin Ancestral Talisman and obtain an External Core infused with it.
Even if he did not refine the Demon-Summoning Banner, it would greatly benefit his cultivation of the Eight-Nine Mystical Art.

Magic Plant: Formless Tree.
Cultivating it with blood essence would cause bark bearing a human face to grow.
Using that bloodline as a template, its medicinal properties could transform an altered transcendent bloodline back toward its origin. In other words, it could be used to assume human form.
Formless Wood Bark grown without blood essence, meanwhile, was a natural Bloodline Harmonizing Agent that could blend multiple bloodlines into one.
