The next morning.
On the second floor of the wooden building on the slope, in the quiet cultivation room and sitting cross-legged on a low bench by the wall, Chen Mu was in meditation.
An invisible fluctuation emitted from his body, rhythmed like breathing, causing his loose clothes to billow and contract erratically.
Inside the Jade Seed, a hissing sound could be heard as Mana fused into the Divine Orifice Talisman, rapidly restoring the pitted hollow sphere.
After a long while, Chen Mu exhaled deeply and opened his eyes.
This was his thirteenth Divine Orifice Refinement; nineteen days had passed since the last refinement.
"The transformation needed is not only for the Divine Orifice Talisman but also for my own self," Chen Mu realized.
He currently was not lacking in Primordial Energy, but he could not undergo Divine Orifice Refinement every day.
