Qin Muyu smiled faintly as he looked at the message Yu Daochen sent, and replied with a section of text.
(Come back quickly after fusing the Ghost Horn.)
Yu Daochen replied with two words.
(Okay.)
After a long wait, Qin Muyu replied with a single word.
(Mm.)
Seeing this "Mm," Yu Daochen understood the conversation was over. He put down his phone and closed his eyes to sleep.
Midnight Spirit Shop.
Qin Muyu's veins bulged on his face, wishing he could tear Liu Feng apart right now.
"Fine, you talk nonsense when you bring her over."
Early morning~
Yu Daochen opened his eyes groggily and saw a face looking at him.
Yu Daochen trembled in fright, jumped up abruptly, and his hand immediately reached for the Kanglong Rod by his pillow. He raised the Kanglong Rod, ready to smash it.
Liu Feng quickly said, "Don't, don't, it's me."
Seeing Liu Feng, Yu Daochen breathed a sigh of relief, "Damn, you scared me to death."
Liu Feng was a little speechless, "Am I that terrifying?"
Yu Daochen rolled his eyes, "You wake up in the morning and see a face staring at you, tell me if you're scared or not."
Liu Feng's strength was far superior to his. He had entered without him noticing, and this guy's face was pale. Seeing a face staring at him right after waking up, anyone would be scared.
Liu Feng laughed heartily, "I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Yu Daochen put down the Kanglong Rod, "This isn't a surprise, this is a fright."
However, Yu Daochen was a bit surprised that Liu Feng could appear beside him so silently, and he hadn't noticed at all.
Having lived a life on the edge of a knife, Yu Daochen was accustomed to being vigilant of the slightest disturbance even while sleeping.
Liu Feng put away his joking smile, "Prepare yourself today and start fusing the Ghost Horn."
Yu Daochen nodded solemnly. The Fengtian Assembly was about a week away, and he should be heading back.
"Come with me somewhere," Liu Feng said, grabbing his things and walking out of the wooden house.
Yu Daochen tidied up his belongings and quickly followed Liu Feng out of the wooden house.
Liu Feng led Yu Daochen onto an extremely difficult dirt path, which could hardly be called a path for humans.
"Where are we going?" Yu Daochen couldn't help but ask after walking for about two hours.
Liu Feng looked at the vines ahead and pulled Yu Daochen into them, "We're almost there."
After drilling for about ten minutes, Yu Daochen's arms were scratched by the vines.
Suddenly, the front began to brighten, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.
Yu Daochen followed Liu Feng out.
Liu Feng took a deep breath and smiled faintly, "This is it."
Yu Daochen looked out. A waterfall cascaded down, the current strong. Coupled with the beautiful scenery far from the hustle and bustle of the city, it felt like a paradise, making one linger.
Yu Daochen took a deep breath, and his constantly tensed nerves relaxed considerably. He sighed, "I didn't expect such beauty to be found beneath this waterfall."
Yu Daochen was a bit curious. Liu Feng seemed more familiar with this place than he was. "How come you know this place better than I do? Did you live here before?"
Liu Feng shook his head, "No, I just stumbled upon it occasionally when I came to the wooden house before."
Liu Feng wasn't telling the truth. When Yu Daochen lived in the wooden house, he had been living here all along.
Yu Daochen looked around. There were no places to hide. What if a fox or other small animal suddenly appeared?
Yu Daochen asked, "Am I fusing the Ghost Horn here?"
Liu Feng shook his head, a mysterious smile appearing on his face. He pointed to the base of the waterfall, "There's a cave inside. You'll fuse it in there."
Yu Daochen looked carefully at the base of the waterfall and vaguely saw a cave entrance.
Yu Daochen increasingly felt that Liu Feng must have been here long ago.
Liu Feng cut to the chase and handed the Qiankun Mirror to Yu Daochen, "I'll teach you the method to fuse the Ghost Horn now."
Yu Daochen took the Qiankun Mirror, and Liu Feng began to explain.
"When you go in later, place the Qiankun Mirror where I've set it up, then bite your finger and drip blood onto the Ghost Horn. After that, insert the two Ghost Horns onto your forehead, mobilize your entire body's qi to protect your dantian, and suppress the yin energy once it enters your body. Then, recite the incantation I taught you, and it will basically be complete."
Yu Daochen nodded, "It's not as difficult to fuse the Ghost Horn as I imagined."
Liu Feng said with a serious expression, "Remember, you must use your internal qi to suppress the yin energy. If you fail, you will become a ghost creature, neither human nor ghost."
Yu Daochen nodded, a smile on his face, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Yu Daochen knew very well that if he failed, it would be no different from dying. He could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
"You can still regret it now," Liu Feng suddenly said.
"Are you joking?"
Yu Daochen looked at Liu Feng. Could he really back out at the last minute?
Liu Feng was not joking, "I'm not joking. I haven't experimented with this Ghost Horn before, and anything that happens is unknown. You can only rely on your own improvisation."
Yu Daochen grinned, "I, Yu Daochen, have a tough fate. A mere Ghost Horn won't kill me."
Liu Feng smiled faintly at Yu Daochen, "I believe in you."
"I'm going in first," Yu Daochen said, turning to walk towards the waterfall.
"Wait a moment," Liu Feng suddenly called out to Yu Daochen, pulling a small glass bottle from his pocket and handing it over, "You must come out alive."
