Whether it was a talisman or an array, Jia Xitong wasn't sure.
She simply lay down at the bottom of the pool and reached out to scrape away the red mud from the ground bit by bit.
The stone, about the size of the four stone coffins she had found earlier, was in the middle of the pool. It was covered with extremely intricate patterns, but due to the depth of the water, it was impossible to see them clearly.
"Xitong, come up and rest for a bit."
Seeing her soaking in the water and constantly diving deeper, Niu Chuanchuan worried that she would get cold. "What are you looking for? I'll go down and find it for you."
“Niu Niu, I’m making a rubbing of the pattern below.”
Seeing that he didn't even know what he was doing and still wanted to come up and help, Jia Xitong waved her hand and said, "You just woke up, it's fine to stay on the shore. A little bit of water won't affect me much. Take care of yourself and Senior Baiyu."
After saying that, she dived back down.
She repeated the process many times until finally a complete picture appeared on the paper.
"A talisman! This is definitely a talisman!"
Jia Xitong looked at the pattern clearly and said decisively. As she spoke, she took out her Wuxiang Brush and traced the pattern in the air.
A complete talisman appeared in the air and then immediately vanished. At the same time, the talisman, which had been dormant for a long time, lit up again.
【Purifying and Demon-Slaying Talisman】
[Engraved on physical objects, it can suppress and purify demonic entities. Using heaven and earth as paper and spiritual energy as ink, it dissolves upon encountering demonic power.]
Like the Formless Brush, it's another item specifically designed to counter demonic cultivators. It seems her master has some personal grudges against demonic cultivators; she seems to have quite a few items that can counter them.
etc!
Did demonic cultivators already exist when the Five Great Gods existed? If demonic cultivators appeared so early, why wasn't there any talk of demon gods?
Furthermore, since the talisman is engraved on the object to suppress demons, isn't the one in front of her just that?
So what exactly was suppressed here?
Jia Xitong climbed out of the water, standing on the shore, soaking wet, looking at the huge rock at the bottom of the water.
"Xitong, what's wrong?"
From Niu Chuanchuan's perspective, Jia Xitong had just dug up a lot of mud from the pool, then suddenly used her magic weapon to draw an unfamiliar talisman, and then stood on the bank, completely soaked, with a deep expression on her face.
Jia Xitong pointed to the water below, "There is a giant rock at the bottom of the pool, with a talisman carved on it called the Purifying and Demon-Slaying Talisman. I suspect that this is why all the demonic cultivators who went into the water had their demonic power dissipate."
"I see."
Li Tuo, who was taking care of Bai Yu Zhenjun, looked over and said, "I thought the water was poisonous and could neutralize a demon cultivator's century-old cultivation. It turns out it's because of the talisman underwater."
"That's not the point right now. The real issue is that there might be something hidden inside that huge rock underwater."
Niu Chuanchuan: "What is that?"
"He might be a powerful demonic cultivator, because one of the functions of this talisman is suppression."
Jia Xitong glanced at Bai Yu Zhenjun lying on the ground. "Let's go back to the inn first. Senior Bai Yu's condition was not right just now. I'm worried that he was affected by that talisman. We'll discuss what to do next after he calms down."
"Shouldn't our priority now be to dispel the demonic power of the Son of Annihilation?"
While the Son of Annihilation was unconscious, they threw him directly into the lake. Dispersing the demonic power left behind by Annihilation was also a way of eliminating the Son of Annihilation.
Niu Niu is particularly concerned about this matter.
"The pool is there and it can't run away. Aren't you curious about what's being suppressed in the pool?"
After she finished speaking, she gestured for everyone to turn back.
Back at the inn, the innkeeper, seeing them carrying Bai Yu Zhenjun on their backs, looked knowing. "Now, sir, can you confirm whether the rumors about Prisoner's Pool are true or false?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong feigned anger, "You clearly knew this was true, so why didn't you tell us? You've ruined my companion's life!"
"Sir, please don't blame me. It was you who felt that hearing was unreliable and insisted on seeing for yourself. It wasn't me who forced you to go."
"Okay, that's enough."
Jia Xitong pretended to have suffered a loss and acted furiously, "My friend is in this state now, who can cure him?"
“Sir, if there were a way to cure this, we wouldn’t be trapped here.”
Those who have lost all their martial arts skills and are trapped here all share a common trait: they can't stand seeing others do well. Seeing that someone has suffered, he was in a good mood and said a few more words, "The existence of that pool of water is beyond trace. All demonic cultivators regard this place as a forbidden area, but you insist on running into it."
"We just wanted to see if this pool of water was really that terrifying. I think it's just ordinary pool water, so why would it have such a frightening effect?"
"Who knows? That place is an ominous place."
Okay, we've got the intelligence.
Jia Xitong chatted with him for a couple more minutes before returning to their room.
At this moment, Bai Yuzhenjun was placed on the bed, and Li Tuo took out his golden needles to treat him. Niu Chuanchuan saw Jia Xitong return and specially asked her for a pot of hot tea.
In Niu Niu's heart, Yan Qing ranks first, the raccoon version of Xi Tong ranks second, and Jia Xitong can also be ranked in the top three.
What were you saying to that shopkeeper outside?
"Thanks."
Jia Xitong took the teacup he offered and carefully took a sip. "From what the shopkeeper said, I learned that this pool of water has been here since the demonic cultivators migrated here, and they seem unaware that a demon might be suppressed inside."
"A demon that was suppressed inside a long time ago..."
Even Niu Niu sensed something unusual about the situation. "Isn't that amazing?"
"Not necessarily."
Jia Xitong shook her head. "On the bright side, if there really is a demonic cultivator, he has been suppressed for so many years, maybe he has already been purified. Those talismans are so powerful against demonic cultivators, even Senior Bai Yu fainted within minutes of entering them."
No sooner had Jia Xitong finished speaking than Bai Yu Zhenjun was forced to open his eyes by Li Tuo's needle.
“Xi Tong, True Lord Bai Yu has woken up.”
Li Tuo called her name, put away his golden needles, and prepared to sit down to the side. Jia Xitong's hand holding the cup froze; she knew she shouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs.
"Senior, how are you feeling?"
Jia Xitong sat down on the edge of his bed, and Niu Chuanchuan followed closely behind.
"fine."
Senior Bai Yu nodded, "Thank you for your help."
"Why are we being so polite with each other?"
Jia Xitong waved her hand, "How are you feeling? Are the demons and demonic arts still there?"
"It's still there."
Bai Yu Zhenjun clearly felt that his magic power was indeed affected by the pool water, but it was not irrecoverable. "Perhaps it's because I didn't soak for long enough."
Not soaked long enough... Do you think your pickled chicken feet are good enough?
"Senior Baiyu, did you have any other sensations while you were in the pool?" Jia Xitong went in and asked.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu Zhenjun recalled for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yes."
