Chapter 151

In the evening, He Xiaoyao placed his gate talisman and the various Jade Talismans he carried in his pocket onto the table, including the Yin-Yang Jade Rabbit, the Red and Black Jade, the Dark Tortoise Jade, and the Yellow Jade.

In truth, the Yin-Yang formation could not be considered a standalone formation on its own; it could only form a wall of energy rather than a sealed barrier. He Xiaoyao infused True Qi into the red and black jades, causing them to emit a soft glow. He then placed a teacup between them.
