One month later, early in the morning.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion in the bedroom of his bamboo building.
A palm-sized black Moon Blade and a white Bone Sphere chased each other like fish, darting and floating through the air with a spiritual grace.
After a good while, Chen Mu opened his eyes, ending today's Spirit Nourishing Curse practice.
After breakfast, Chen Mu lay in a bamboo rocking chair and indulged in reading a leather-bound "East Ridge Medicinal Stones Illustrated Handbook" with relish.
The East Ridge spanned tens of thousands of miles, with a climate that was moist and warm, giving birth to many unique poisonous insects and plants.
This scroll of Medicinal Stones Illustrated Handbook was originally a collection of the Yanxia Sect, recording thirty-nine unique medicinal herbs from East Ridge.
