At the southernmost end of Tang Mountain Valley, beneath a small waterfall.
Chen Mu stood by the water pool as several streams of Black Smoke darted wildly beneath the water like pythons.
More than a dozen Silver Scale Fish, each about a meter long, were quickly enveloped and devoured by the Black Smoke.

Several months ago, Chen Mu had planted Heart-Linking Gu in the Silver Scale Fish of Tangshan Courtyard to cultivate Yin Nether Insects. Today was harvest day.
Excluding those that had failed to transform and those that had yet to mature, he had harvested a total of 2,321 Yinhun this time.
The more Yin Soul Monsters he had, the more powerful the Candle Dragon Transformation became, and the more secure he felt.
"In just a few months, the number of Yin Soul Monsters has increased by a tenth."
"If I raise a few more batches..."
"Hehehe!"

Faint yet resilient connections appeared
