Upon seeing the three talismans, Zhang Mingqing and Mingxin were immediately captivated by the central core rune.

Ji Fangmei and Old Yuan also came over to look at the three talismans. They felt that the runes on the talisman paper were very mysterious and difficult to understand. They didn't know why there were such strange patterns.

The two Daoist priests stared at it for a long time before they came to their senses, marveling at it.

Master Zhang Mingqing no longer addresses him as "young friend."

"Brother An Ran, how did you obtain this core rune? I can actually sense a kind of Supreme Yin energy from it."

"Besides, I've been looking at it for so long, and now I don't really remember what the core runes look like?"

Master Zhang Mingqing was somewhat surprised and uncertain. He looked back at the three talismans, then at Wang An, and then back again.

I can hardly believe how Divine Intent this rune is.

When the others heard Zhang Mingqing say this, they thought about it carefully, just like him, and found that they couldn't remember what the core rune looked like either.

They were both surprised and amazed by the three talismans, marveling at how this young professional named An Ran could draw such wondrous talismans.

Master Mingxin, who was still staring Mingxin at the core runes, gradually paled, and his steps became unsteady.

Seeing this, the Mingqing priest Mingqing immediately helped him up and checked his condition.

"What's wrong with you? Have you run out of ideas?"

Master Mingxin did not speak, but simply closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing that everyone had already witnessed the miraculous power of his three talismans, Wang An then spoke.

"This rune was drawn by me recently after comprehending the principles of Supreme Yin, in the midst of ethereal darkness; it is a true rune of legal principles."

Wang An suddenly shouted, calling back the few people who were about to turn around to look at the runes.

"If you're not a cultivator, don't keep staring at it. Your mental energy will be exhausted, and it won't recover for ten days or half a month."

Everyone realized that they had been unknowingly drawn to the mysterious runes, and when they came to their senses, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Mingqing looked at the runes with some excitement, but he didn't dare to look at them for long. He immediately turned around and asked Wang An.

"Brother An Ran, can we draw this talisman for you?"

"If the Mingqing and Qing dynasty Daoist priests have more than 2 points in their divine attributes, then drawing one or two of their portraits should be enough."

"That talisman..."

Wang An knew perfectly well what Zhang Mingqing was up to. He wasn't worried about others learning it from him, but now wasn't the right time. Instead of responding, he spoke up.

"Everyone, I call this type of talisman the [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman]. Today we're testing the specific effects of this talisman, so let's get started."

Ji Fangmei and Old Yuan then remembered what they had come for and immediately asked.

"Mr. An Ran, do you need us to provide a user, or would you like someone else?"

"I think it's best to let Mingxin use it! He just exhausted his mental energy, so it'll be a good opportunity to test the effects of my [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman]."

As Wang An said this, he raised his hand to gesture towards Mingxin.

Upon hearing this, Mingxin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wang An with some anticipation.

Wang An indicated that Mingxin could use it.

Only then did he cautiously pick up one of the talismans from the box, examine its structure, and recognize a familiar node. He immediately understood and channeled his true energy into that node.

The use of finished symbols generally falls into two categories: active triggering and passive persistence.

By setting a trigger point between the energy storage rune and the core rune, and injecting true energy, the pathway is opened and the rune is activated.

Passive runes, on the other hand, remain active and run continuously once the entire rune is drawn.

Clearly, Mingxin was also extremely knowledgeable about runes, and he immediately found the trigger point and activated the entire rune.

The others observing from the outside did not sense any change, but Mingxin could clearly feel a silvery-white moonlight appearing in his mind, illuminating his Niwan Palace.

His previously depleted mental energy seemed to be nourished and was slowly recovering, much faster than when he had entered a state of meditation.

"Everyone doesn't need to wait here. Even with my talisman, it will take Mingxin quite a while to fully recover."

Wang An looked at the Mingqing priest Mingqing beside him, who was still scratching his head and seemed hesitant to speak, shook his head helplessly, and then said to him.

"Master Mingqing, let's find a place to talk."

"Oh, okay, okay."

After Wang An and Zhang Mingqing left the authentication room, Ji Fangmei and Old Yuan were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

The two arrived at a tea room used for receiving guests.

Wang An began to slowly brew the tea, patiently waiting for Zhang Mingqing to speak first.

Mingqing naturally understood what he meant and spoke directly.

"Brother An Ran, let me just tell you directly."

Besides our core Orthodox Five Thunder Method of Mount Longhu, what else? Feel free to suggest anything you'd like to discuss.

We hope to learn that core rune from you.

Wang An remained calm, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, and then spoke.

"Mingqing, to be honest, I can't guarantee whether you will be able to learn it."

I myself have only grasped a little of the principles of Supreme Yin, which is why I have achieved such an effect.

So if you want to draw something similar to what I do, you also need to reach my level of understanding. Do you understand?

Zhang Mingqing remained silent for a long time after hearing Wang An's words.

Then he said, "Fellow Daoist An Ran, the wonder of your talisman is only described sporadically in the records of past patriarchs."

"If one is fortunate enough to comprehend even a small part of it, it would be of great benefit to us practitioners."

Before I came, my senior brother, the sect leader, and the elders had already reached an agreement. If this talisman is genuine, we must at least take one back with us.

"Therefore, on behalf of the Celestial Master Mansion of Mount Longhu, I hereby make a deal with you. Aside from the Orthodox Five Thunder Method, you may take all the other inheritances."

Knowing that the other party had come prepared, Wang An nodded and, without further ado, stated his needs.

"Master Mingqing, I need all of your sect's teachings on talismans. May I borrow them?"

Master Zhang Mingqing nodded in agreement, clearly having anticipated such a request.

Seeing that he agreed, Wang An took out a small booklet from his person and said.

"This contains the core rune diagram of the [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman], as well as my own rudimentary understanding of the Supreme Yin Way. I hope it can be of help to your sect."

"As for whether you can actually draw this talisman, that depends on how well you comprehend it."

Master Zhang Mingqing took the booklet and opened it. The first part explained the core runes, and the second part discussed the Way of Supreme Yin.

The theory of the Three Yin is as follows: Lesser Yin, Supreme Yin, and Extreme Yin.

Supreme Yin refers to the moon at its zenith.

The moonlight, being yin in nature, reflects the moonlight, nourishing the spirit and soul...
