Late at night.
Chen Mu hummed a little tune as he left Shuanghong Tower, strolling leisurely along the brightly lit streets.
Though it was already deep into the night, the crowds on the streets showed no sign of thinning. Instead, they grew even livelier. Haggling, chatting, laughing, singing, storytelling—every kind of sound rose and fell in succession.
"These Qi Refining cultivators really can stay up." Chen Mu chuckled.
As long as a Qi Refining cultivator passed the first stage and fused their essence, qi, and spirit to form a Jade Seed, they could seal their essence, qi, and spirit, preventing any leakage.
That was why these people could spend their days cultivating and making a living without it interfering with their nighttime strolls and entertainment.
Thus, whether it was night or day within the Water Mansion, there were always people on the streets.
"Geez, if those wage-slave workers from my previous life knew about this, wouldn't they be green with envy?"
Fortunately, fortunately, I'm a Qi Refining cultivator too.
Hehe!
Chen Mu ambled along, cheerfully entertaining all sorts of random thoughts.
At one moment, a powerful rhythmic fluctuation flashed past the edge of his True Hearing Supernatural Ability.
He could not help looking toward the distant entrance of the Water Mansion.
This Qi Mechanism fluctuation...
Why did it sound somewhat familiar?
Master Jiao of the Water Mansion? That did not seem quite right.
Chen Mu scratched his head.
Whoever it was, they were surely another great figure in the Meridian Opening realm, much like Master Jiao.
After staying in the Dingyou Tianhe Water Mansion for more than half a year, he had already learned the details. Master Jiao of the Dingyou Water Mansion was a high cultivator who had cultivated the Heavenly Demon Rebirth Method to the Meridian Opening realm.
