For over ten days, Chu Mu recuperated quietly in his Cave Mansion. He spent the time studying the Pill Recipe tomes he'd obtained and taking a much-needed rest to recover from years of travel fatigue.
Day after day, he sat in the stone pavilion of the bamboo grove with a book and a pot of Spirit Tea.
Occasionally, he would tend to the Spiritual Plants in his Spirit Field, which added a pleasant, leisurely touch to his routine.

Chu Mu leaned against a large boulder by the river, gazing thoughtfully at the Jade Scroll in his hand.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, he seemed to stir from his thoughts. As he slowly got to his feet, an entrance appeared in the Array Prohibition that enveloped the Cave Mansion.
