The Pill Furnace finished speaking and then vanished, leaving behind a crowd of astounded faces.
「—」
It was unclear how much time had passed.
Wang Mu, like a drowning man suddenly waking with a start, opened his eyes.
I'm not dead?
Wang Mu took a deep breath, his mind somewhat disoriented.
Wasn't I in the Divine Heart Flame? Where am I now?
He wanted to get up but felt as if his body was beyond his control. A sensation of weakness overcame him. This feeling of weakness was somewhat like the exhaustion from grinding in games for several nights straight. He couldn't even struggle to get up; all he could do was lie there with his eyes open.
After a while, Wang Mu noticed from the corner of his eye that he seemed to be in a boudoir, lying on a bed. The style of the room somewhat resembled the boudoirs in the Medicine King Valley.
"Eh, you're awake?"
A series of footsteps sounded from outside, and upon looking up, Wang Mu saw it was Granny Gu from the Dan King Sect.
