It was a night deep and serene, when all had slipped into profound slumber, yet Ge Dongxu sat alone cross-legged on his terrace, holding a jade token in his hands, allowing the cold breeze to sweep across his cheeks. He remained steadfast and immovable, fixating solely on the jade stone within his grasp.
His fingers appeared to glide gently over the jade token, but they emitted a grating "squeak squeak," akin to claws scratching the surface of something hard.
By the light of the moon, if one looked closely, it would become apparent that Ge Dongxu's fingers as he etched upon the jade were extraordinarily translucent, and a barely discernible breath followed his engraving movements into the jade token.
Indeed, in drawing talismans upon the jade token, no longer were cinnabar and a brush used, but rather, True Qi was directly infused into the jade. Using True Qi as ink, it was branded within the stone.
