Who was this man? Yu Ci was utterly bewildered.
The short, fat Daoist possessed profound cultivation, yet spoke strangely. What did he mean by "plunging headfirst into aperture points"? It sounded as though he did not much approve of the theory of "understanding apertures to draw talismans."
"I can tell at a glance that you understand the marvels of the Qilin Cloud Talisman. You have attainments yourself, so you must not stray onto a crooked path.

He had a round face, a long beard, a ruddy complexion, and an exceptionally tall frame—yet he was even fatter than the short, fat Daoist. Both hands rested on his belt, making his particularly protruding waistline all the more conspicuous. But most striking of all was the ruddy glow on his face, like rosy clouds. Within that vermilion hue were layers of light and shadow; the glow was strongest around the space between his brows, while blurred red patterns spread across the outer sides of his cheeks.
