Several days later.
Underground chamber.
A blank jade slip lay on the low table before Chen Mu.
At its upper right sat a porcelain dish filled with thick, golden spell ink.
This ink could etch jade plates, penetrating three-tenths of an inch into the jade.
Writing made with it would remain intact and clear even after a hundred years.
"Let's get to work!"
Taking a deep breath, Chen Mu spread open the Yellow Springs General Outline.
Dharmic power flowed into the jade slip. Power churned within his mind as a web-like spherical spell talisman condensed into being.
Chen Mu did not dare slack off in the slightest. While maintaining the spell talisman with all his strength, he continuously enlarged and rotated it, examining it inside and out with painstaking care.
A quarter of an hour later, the spell talisman suddenly trembled and once again dispersed into a cloud of mist.
Chen Mu swiftly picked up a brush, soaked it in golden spell ink, and began writing in swift, forceful strokes. In an instant, he had written a string of strange symbols linked by star-like dots and threads onto the blank jade slip.
Accompanied by faint sizzling sounds, the golden Xie Wen rapidly seeped into the jade plate.
Chen Mu studied it carefully for a moment, and his heart finally relaxed.
"It worked!"
The method of recording the Yellow Springs General Outline with Xie Wen had proven to be the right path.
After confirming it once more, Chen Mu set down the brush and took out the Exquisite Jade Disk to restore his dharmic power.
Copying it in Xie Wen, restoring his dharmic power, then copying again. Chen Mu repeated this process for the entire day.
Even by late at night, he had only recorded nine jade plates.
Most of that
