Seven or eight days passed in a flash.
Within Camp Hai, the Ghost Soldiers marched out every day, while the auxiliary soldiers were still ordered to remain in the main camp.
Inside Thousand Lantern City.
As though copied from a mirror image, an identical small courtyard of mud-brick houses had appeared beside the original courtyard.
With another Shen Yan around, the two naturally could not squeeze into the same place. Chen Mu therefore transported more soil from beneath Camp Hai into Thousand Lantern City and used Finger Points to Steel to create an identical courtyard.
At that moment, Chen Mu lay in a Rocking Chair, swaying back and forth. Before him, a ball of River of Forgetfulness Water and Nine Nether Azure Flame spun continuously in midair.
The Five Ghosts Little Paper Men sat in a row beside the stone table, heads tilted up as they watched the water and fire chase each other with rapt attention.
In the newly opened courtyard some distance away, Shen Yan carried a bucket and bent over as he sowed and watered the newly reclaimed vegetable plot.
After quite some time, the water and fire vanished into the void. Chen Mu stopped cultivating the Yellow Springs Guide.
Shen Yan had also finished sowing and watering. After putting away his tools, he walked over to the stone table.
"Not many in the entire Yellow Springs Department can cultivate the Yellow Springs Guide to your level."
"No wonder your Yin God True Form can connect to a Cave Heaven. Your talent is truly astonishing." Shen Yan sighed with emotion.
Chen Mu shot him an unhappy glare.
Who was he calling talented? Everything he had today came from hard work and diligence!
Shen Yan chuckled. "Didn't you want to know how to return to the mortal realm?"
