[ There's no rush to collect the mess. Now that Xue Yang is prepared for it, he has ways to acquire more. (That may or may not involve poisoning himself again and then fucking his roommate. Or poisoning his roommate. Maybe both of them, for twice the material.) No, he's much more interested in that seal at present.
When he finally gets a good look at the center and the rest of it, there's no missing the way his eyes narrow and his grin gives way to a slight frown of concentration. That... was not at all what he was expecting the center of it to look like. Does that work? It seems like it must work, or Matoba wouldn't continue to wear it. But despite having a vaguely similar structure to what Xue Yang knows, the part of the design that he would expect to be the primary actor is nearly blank. Like building a shed to keep out the weather, but not adding any walls and leaving the roof only partially thatched.
If he's from the east, does he mean Dongying? Xue Yang has only the most cursory knowledge of their techniques. They're heavily into spirit worship, right? He remembers that part. Is that why the seal is structured like that? ]
Yeah, of course.
[ Fu, the auto-translation helpfully interprets the term as for him. Cleansing rituals, not the sort he did regularly as someone entrenched in demonic cultivation but the kind of things that the Jin Sect made sure all their disciples knew how to perform. For any cultivator, it's one of the most basic practices. ]
