Inside the Holy Treasure Hall.
Eighteen massive bronze pillars supported a magnificent dome, and the surrounding walls were covered in bas-reliefs of all kinds of vicious beasts and monsters.
At the front of the great hall were two Magic Altars, each with a Cultivator sitting cross-legged upon it.
These two were both at the Late-Life Talisman Stage of Cultivation. They were not young and were considered senior Elders in the Demon Refining Valley.
When Fang Cheng walked into the hall, the two men glanced at each other, both somewhat surprised. But they dared not be negligent and quickly rose to bow.
One of them asked curiously, "Elder Chen, may I ask what item you have come to retrieve this time?"
Fang Cheng didn't answer. He simply held up two fingers, and an ancient, silver Talisman flew out silently from between them.
On the Talisman, countless twisted, tadpole-like runes flickered, glowing with a radiant light.
