After leaving the Jadeite Platform, Ghost Guest was supposed to return directly, but instead, he found himself inexplicably drawn to the low courtyard with the Furnace plaque.

The old woman outside the courtyard was still lying on the wicker chair as she had last time, her position and posture unchanged, letting the wind and snow cover her.

Ghost Guest placed fifty Spirit Stones in front of the old woman. She made no movement, and the Spirit Stones disappeared into thin air once again.

However, this time, the courtyard gate did not open immediately.
