After the battle at the East Sea, Zhang Yan's cultivation advanced even further. He could now maneuver freely with just the sword ball, and many of the Dharma treasures that were once useful to him had become insignificant. Since there was no disciple by his side to assist him, he gave some of these treasures to Zhang Pan for protection.
In addition, several Demon King subordinates gifted Zhang Yan magical artifacts to curry favor, leaving him with an extraordinary wealth of treasures.
After waiting for merely a few breaths, Zhang Yan noticed a streak of azure light flying toward him in the skies, prompting him to reach into his sleeve and retrieve a jade token.
The token was called the Immortal Bird Jade Talisman, a compensatory gift from Yan Xiyue of Bi Yu Sect to Zhang Yan for an earlier offense involving his younger disciple.
