Jigu City, outside the southern side of the city, a broad stone road stretched from the gates far into the south.
On both sides of the road, the fiery red leaves of towering Moon Bark Trees connected into a continuous expanse, like a sea of flames.
Beneath the lush canopies, wooden towers with blue-tiled roofs of varying heights were scattered everywhere, stretching so far that the end was nowhere in sight.
A newly built small courtyard stood quietly at the southernmost edge.
A two-story wooden tower faced south, with two Moon Bark Trees as tall as a person and as thick as an arm standing to the east and west.
Chen Mu sat at the stone table on the eastern side of the courtyard.
An invisible force formed a circular web over ten meters wide, shrouding the courtyard.
Fine Jade Dew particles were continuously drawn in and gathered together, becoming a fist-sized mass in the blink of an eye. With a thought, the fist-sized Jade Dew split into two portions and fell evenly around the roots of the two Moon Bark Trees.
Chen Mu stopped the Dew Gathering Incantation, and a rustling of leaves reached his ears.
The palm-sized fiery red leaves on the two Moon Bark Trees trembled and swayed without pause. Fresh shoots emerged from the branches, while the slender twigs became somewhat thicker and tougher. Their overall growth speed was visibly rapid.
Chen Mu looked strangely at the Moon Bark Trees, which seemed as though they had taken stimulants. He could actually faintly sense a joyful emotion from the entire trees, like cats high on catnip.
