I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Soon, the nanmu square table was carried in.

Zhao Zian stood casually in front of the table, picked up a wolf-hair brush, and dipped it heavily in cinnabar.

There was not a moment's hesitation or planning.

The brushstrokes flowed like dragons and snakes, completed in one go.

Zhao Zian put down his pen and handed the talisman to Wang Chongshan.

"Patriarch Wang, grasp it."

Wang Chongshan accepted the talisman.

A warm current surged from the talisman and flowed into his limbs and bones!

call--

It's been smoother than ever before!

"This...this..."

"Father!"

Wang Jingtian shouted excitedly.

He witnessed firsthand the change in his father's expression.

From a deathly pale color to regaining its rosy hue, it only took a few dozen seconds!

Zhao Zian picked up his brush again and drew four talismans.

He took the talismans and walked to the four corners of the study, as well as the area directly under the roof beam.

In an instant, the entire study was cleaned up!

After doing all this, Zhao Zian returned to the table.

"How does it feel?"

"Great! Much better!"

Wang Chongshan stood up and paced back and forth a few steps.

"I feel like I've become ten years younger! No! Twenty years younger!"

Zhao Zian remained calm.

"Patriarch Wang, don't be too happy yet. What I just did was merely a temporary measure."

"This calming talisman can protect your heart meridian, preventing you from being corroded by death energy in the short term. These four purifying talismans can purify this study and ensure peace here. But these are only temporary solutions, not cures of the root cause."

"This Nine Fiends Locking Dragon Formation is like a source that constantly produces poisonous gas. What I've done is merely put a temporary mask on you and install a small air purifier in your room. If the source isn't removed, the poisonous gas will only accumulate. Once the power of the talisman is exhausted, the backlash will be even more severe."

Wang Chongshan asked nervously.

"Then... sir, what should we do?"

"I need three days."

"To break this vicious formation, we need to prepare some special materials. I will provide a list, and your Wang family is responsible for finding them as quickly as possible."

Wang Jingtian spoke.

"Rest assured, sir! Although the Wang family is weak, they still have considerable resources! Even if we have to turn the entire county upside down, we will definitely find it for you!"

Zhao Zian nodded.

"From now on, I will personally survey the entire Wang family mansion. I will ascertain the direction of every inch of the earth's veins and find out exactly where the nine evil nails that serve as the foundation of the formation are hidden. I must confirm this myself to ensure that when the formation is broken, the attack will be decisive and leave no future troubles."

"Three days."

"Three days later, on the night of the full moon, when the yin energy is at its peak, this arrangement will be at its most powerful. We will then completely remove this poisonous thorn that is jeopardizing your Wang family's fortune!"

Strike when the power is at its peak?

What confidence and courage that is!

Wang Chongshan shouted towards the door.

"Someone come here!"

Two guards appeared at the door.

"Relay my master's order!"

"From this moment forward, Mr. Zhao Zi'an will be the most distinguished guest of the Wang family! His status will be equal to mine!"

Upon hearing this, the guards outside the door, and even the servants in the courtyard, were all horrified.

Wang Chongshan continued to issue orders.

"While in the manor, you have free access to any area, including forbidden zones and the storerooms! You can freely command any guards or servants within the manor! You can freely take any supplies or money from the manor!"

"Those in and around the household shall regard you as I am in person! Anyone who dares to show the slightest disrespect, obstruct, or feign compliance shall be punished..."

"No need to notify anyone, kill them on the spot, and punish them according to family rules!"

After saying that, he took off a jade pendant.

"Sir, this is the patriarch's token of the Wang family. There is only one in the entire Wang family. Please accept it! With this token, you can move about the manor without hindrance!"

Wang Jingtian also stepped forward.

"Mr. Zhao, all the resources of the Wang family are at your disposal! If needed, Jing Tian is willing to be your henchman!"

"it is good."

Zhao Zian reached out and took it.

"Young Master Jingtian, please lead the way."

"Sir, please."

Wang Jingtian bowed and gestured for them to proceed.

Zhao Zian walked to the courtyard and took out a small figure from his bosom.

He put the little fox on the ground and it stretched.

They look harmless and are extremely cute.

Zhao Zian scratched the little fox's chin.

"Xiao Bai, it's time to get to work."

The little fox's nose twitched.

"Go and find those nails that make people uncomfortable."

A white shadow flashed by.

The little fox darted into a garden ahead.

Wang Jingtian's pupils contracted.

What a great speed!

As they passed through a bamboo forest, Xiaobai slowed down.

It stopped beside a uniquely shaped artificial hill, circling around the bluestone.

Zhao Zian stopped in his tracks.

"As expected, it's here."

Zhao Zian flicked his finger.

A pale golden rune disappeared into the soil beside the bluestone.

"Sir, this is..."

Wang Jingtian couldn't help but speak up.

"The first evil nail in the Nine Killings Locking Dragon Formation."

Zhao Zian's tone was icy.

"It's stuck here, stealing the life force gathered in your Wang family garden, and then transforming it into death energy that erodes your fortune through the earth's veins. What a clever trick to steal the sky and change the sun."

Wang Jingtian's heart trembled violently!

"I just cast a concealment spell."

Zhao Zian explained.

"Since it's been marked, it also temporarily blocks our detection and won't alert the people who set up the formation."

Wang Jingtian was convinced.

No, it's reverence!

"Let's continue."

Little White darted off in the next direction.

This time, it rushed towards the lotus pond.

Little White stopped at the edge of the pool and hissed.

"Water belongs to Yin. The evil nails here are buried in the deepest part of the silt at the bottom of the pool, using the cold Yin energy of the water vein to nourish their malevolent nature."

Zhao Zian's eyes grew increasingly cold.

Wang Jingtian's face turned ashen.

Zhao Zian once again flicked out a rune, which disappeared into the roots of the willow tree by the pool, marking it as he went.

"Walk."

The subsequent discoveries were increasingly insidious.

Xiao Bai rushed into the Wang family's ancestral hall.

Ignoring the memorial tablets, it jumped onto the incense table and shouted at the roof beam directly above its head!

"You bastard!"

Wang Jingtian roared angrily.

"The nails were hidden in the mortise and tenon structure of the main beam."

Zhao Zian explained.

"Every time your Wang family comes to offer incense and worship, the sincere prayers and vows are distorted and absorbed by it, turning into a force that amplifies its ferocity. The person who set up the formation was certain that you would never suspect your ancestors."

Wang Jingtian nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

What a shame!

This is an unprecedented humiliation since the establishment of the Wang family!

Zhao Zian marked the third spot.

Exploration is ongoing.

The fourth evil nail was hidden inside the wall of a dry well in the backyard, using the yin energy from the ground.

The fifth one is hidden under a massive boulder weighing thousands of kilograms, which is used in the training ground to test strength.

It absorbs the masculine energy emitted by martial artists during their cultivation.

……

When Xiaobai led them to the kitchen.

Wang Jingtian was numb.

When the young master arrived in person, the cooks and servants stopped what they were doing.

"Get up, all of you, and get to your work. Don't make a sound."

Wang Jingtian gave the order.
