Evening, Chen Mu's cave abode.
Inside the abode, the rooms were arranged in a straight line.
From east to west, they were in order: the Alchemist Chamber, living and dining rooms, kitchen, bedroom, and the washroom at the very west.
Each room had windows on the south-facing cliff side, paired with the glowing algae lamps embedded into the walls, providing bright and clear lighting.
In the kitchen, Chen Mu hummed a tune as he swiftly tossed the bright green vegetable leaves in the pan with a wooden spatula.
The stove was waist-high, but there was no fire underneath it; it was just a solid platform carved from rock.
The pan was fan-shaped with a bright white interior, actually half of a huge shell.
The opening was broad enough to fit the external unit of a household air conditioner.
Chen Mu pressed his left hand against the edge of the shell, and mana streamed in, promptly causing heat to rise from the shell.
