I didnt know the char stain is the after effects of seasoned wok.
i used to scrub hard to get rid of the yellow stains and i thought these are indications of worn wok..

Shit! shdnt have thrown my wok last week.....

Actually the charred wok looks rather disgusting, especially when some of the char parts come off.

Eons ago, the seller taught my mom to use a piece of lard/skin to wipe the cast iron wok under high heat to season it...but it doesn't make it nonstick.
