Chapter 48: Reinforcement (2)
The consolidation and enhancement of the fourth stream of cold Qi brought joy to Yu Hong’s heart, lifting his spirits significantly.
After wiping away his sweat, he rested briefly and moved to a corner of the cave to prepare tools for carving out a new private room.
“To cultivate mushrooms and breed lizards, I need to carve out a separate space first. But where to dig and how to do it requires careful consideration,” he thought. With a knife in hand, he marked and mapped out structural plans on the ground.
As he pondered, night fell outside, bringing complete darkness.
It wasn’t until everything was pitch black that Yu Hong suddenly realized: there had been no knocks from the Ghostly Shadow tonight.
Normally, Ghostly Shadows would periodically knock on the door, pretending to be acquaintances or strangers to lure him into opening it. But now, in the fully enclosed space reinforced with Great Luminous stones, there wasn’t a single knock.
“Looks like the Luminous stone concealment method is working,” Yu Hong mused. Walking to the door, he gently slid open a gap in the barricade and peered outside.
Pitch darkness. Nothing was visible.
Confirming there were no insects nearby, he lit the fireplace, dragged over his sleeping bag, and settled down to sleep in peace.
