Dispelling the Water Moon Dream Mirror, Jiang Shouzhong leaned on a broken wall, gritting through his pain, and took out a porcelain bottle from his chest. He poured out two Healing Pills and swallowed them.
With the aid of the Taoist River Map's healing process, although he was tormented severely by the Demon Venerable, his recovery was incredibly fast.
"Master..."
The demon, a rat creature, nestled up to him, nuzzling the man's thigh.
"You've worked hard, little rat."
Jiang Shouzhong patted the rat creature's head, then opened the Zodiac Map to prepare to return it to the painting.
Demons that had been put into the Zodiac Map, if not nourished, would decrease in their cultivation the longer they stayed outside the map, their life force drying up until they eventually turned into corpses.
The rat creature rubbed against the man once more, then scurried into the map.
Following this, a lifelike ink painting of a rat slowly emerged onto the scroll, full of spirit and vivacity.
