Time seemed to resume its normal course as unbeknownst to us, Long Dangdang and his comrades moved into the Temple Headquarters to live. The Demon Hunters Headquarters provided exclusive living quarters for them, at least nominally.
Most of the others spent their time cultivating the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique while Long Dangdang strived to provide spiritual power for the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace by meditating. With the assistance of Long Kongkong, his progress was quite good. Although it wasn't as fast as when he was absorbing the energy of life, it was still much quicker than cultivators of the same rank.
