Inside the wooden hut by the sea, Chen Mu awoke from his meditation.
Inside the Jade Seed, a pale yellow gourd hovered at the center. After a while, the exquisite gourd transformed back into Innate Primordial Qi, dispersing into his body.
"One month of seclusion, and consecutively forging two Spiritual Treasure Talismans, the speed is nearly twice as fast as before."
"Continuing like this, in less than two months, the Yellow Springs Gourd will reach the Ninth Layer!"
Chen Mu rose and walked out of the wooden hut, stretching his back and legs, his face full of smiles.
...
Three days later, deep into the night, the round moon hung high.
The Five Ghosts Paper Dolls swung on the white skin soul-luring lantern on the roof, their crisp and eerie laughter echoing around.
Chen Mu lay on the rocking chair, staring at the starry sky, lost in thought.
