Elder Guo slowly walked up to the ancient inscriptions, his steps heavy as though the characters bore the weight of endless history and secrets. He stopped, bent down, and leaned in close to examine every detail.
His brow furrowed deeply at times, as if struggling to decipher the obscure symbols; at other times, it smoothed out, as though he had suddenly grasped some underlying mystery. Time ticked away as Elder Guo remained entirely absorbed in the study of the inscriptions, without making a sound.
After a long while, Elder Guo finally straightened up. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "These inscriptions record the origins and purposes of these artifacts. Some are magical treasures used by the predecessors of the Southwest Poison Sect for cultivation, while others are vessels storing immense power. However, to use them, we must break the corresponding seals."
