Xu Yuanzhen entered the room, and her presence seemed to bring a chill to the warm air.

Lei Jun had gradually gotten used to the sudden comings and goings of this senior sister, so he wasn't particularly surprised at this moment. Instead, he waved at Xu Yuanzhen.

"What a rare visitor!"

As Xu Yuanzhen passed by him, she casually knocked his hand away, "Cut it out."

Yuan Mobai smiled slightly, "Has Yuan Zhen returned?"

Xu Yuanzhen took a seat, "I plan to visit the forbidden area of the Rear Mountain Ancestral Tomb. The timing coincides with the Transmission Ceremony, so there's no rush. I'll leave the mountain after the ceremony is over."

Both Lei Jun and his master knew that her visit to the forbidden area of the Rear Mountain Ancestral Tomb was not for paying respects to Li Zhengxuan.

It more likely had to do with the missing Celestial Master's Sword.

Although few knew it, the Celestial Master Seal had already been accounted for. Now that Xu Yuanzhen was traveling abroad, her opportunistic pursuit had shifted to the Celestial Master's Sword.

"Yuan Zhen, have you heard about Chongxuan's matter?" Yuan Mobai asked.

Xu Yuanzhen replied, "I've heard a bit, but it doesn't pique my interest much."

Yuan Mobai looked at her.

Xu Yuanzhen said, "I might be more interested if Li Zhengxuan were involved."

The young man in the purple robe on the main seat couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Listening to this, Lei Jun thought to himself that his senior sister indeed loved to watch drama unfold.

However, that day might not be far off in the future...

Indeed, as Xu Yuanzhen said, the Tang Emperor had just established the Suppressing Demon Guards, and they were still in their nascent stages.

The contest between the great noble clans still involved much maneuvering and testing.

Thus, there was a distinction between the Light Court and the Dark Court.

Aside from a Shangguan General who oversaw the creation of the Suppressing Demon Guards, no Upper Three Heavens experts were stationed there.

The real drama would only begin when they successfully negotiated for several Upper Three Heavens experts to join, heralding a grand spectacle.

"The Tang Emperor is more likely to make a move in the north soon," Xu Yuanzhen remarked casually.

Yuan Mobai nodded thoughtfully.

In the south, the Lin Clan of Jiangzhou were certainly at a low ebb, leaderless.

However, external pressure exceeding a certain threshold might cause them to hit rock bottom and rebound, forcing them to regroup internally.

Moreover, numerous top-tier factions had their eyes focused on Jiangzhou.

In contrast, it would be easier for the Great Tang imperial family to make a move in the north at this time.

"Senior Sister, you've been to many places. Have you by any chance come across any True Yin Spiritual Objects?" Lei Jun asked Xu Yuanzhen for advice.

He briefly described the circumstances regarding the Vermilion Sun Blossom.

"True Yin Spiritual Objects are elusive, but I've had some success finding them," Xu Yuanzhen replied. "Whether any are suitable for you, however, is another matter."

With that, she casually took something out.

Senior Sister, your pocket is like a bottomless pouch. From now on, I won't be surprised no matter what you take out of it... Lei Jun focused his gaze; in her hand was a type of Spirit Grass.

The vine was slender, with few leaves.

In the brightly lit room, this Spirit Grass looked like a mere shadow. It twisted in Xu Yuanzhen's palm as if alive, seemingly wanting to coil around her hand of its own accord.

"Shadow Rabbit Vine?" Yuan Mobai was somewhat surprised. "I thought this item had long since vanished."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "I found it by chance just recently in a place called Qiluo Valley in Youpeng Mountain, north of the Grand River. Even I was surprised to encounter it."

Lei Jun indeed sensed strands of True Yin Force within the Spirit Grass, suffused with a unique profundity.

Unfortunately, the True One Altar remained unresponsive.

This was not the True Yin Spiritual Object capable of working in conjunction with the Vermilion Sun Blossom on the True One Altar.

"Then it won't be easy to find one in the short term," Xu Yuanzhen said.

This wasn't her only find, however.

Beneath Green Heart Peak in the Southern Shu Bamboo Sea, a True Yin Land was vaguely forming. However, it still needed time and wouldn't be ready immediately, so there was no rush.

Forty thousand li beyond the Northern Border, in the great desert, there was a Cold Yin Lake. Deep at its bottom, True Yin Stone could be found. However, the environment was peculiar: the stone only manifested during the peak of summer and was currently absent in winter.

...Your range of activity is indeed vast.

Listening to Xu Yuanzhen's account, Lei Jun's first reaction wasn't joy at having more than one potential destination, but rather awe at his senior sister's ability to roam so extensively, her footprints truly covering the remotest corners of the land.

Moreover, her travels seemed to lack a specific purpose; she simply wandered about, exploring here and there.

Come to think of it, Lei Jun also somewhat envied this carefree lifestyle.

Once his own cultivation strength improved, he too wanted to experience the vast and varied landscapes of this world.

After briefly letting his thoughts wander, Lei Jun refocused his mind and began to carefully consider the other two locations Xu Yuanzhen had mentioned.

Since the True Yin Land in the Southern Shu Bamboo Sea wasn't mature yet, it could indeed be put aside for the time being.

The Northern Border was exceedingly remote, and besides, the seasonal timing was also wrong...

Yuan Mobai suddenly asked, "Yuan Zhen, around that Shadow Rabbit Vine, did you find any Heartburn Chi?"

"I saw no trace of any Chi Dragon-type creatures," Xu Yuanzhen replied. "Even that Shadow Rabbit Vine merely flickered once and was about to disappear again, but I managed to catch it."

Her interest piqued, she said, "Oh? Could it be that the Shadow Rabbit Vine and Heartburn Chi appear in pairs? That's something I wasn't aware of before."

Yuan Mobai commented, "Our Sect's records indeed contain no mention of it. These two spiritual items have been considered extinct for many years, and few people speak of them, so this is quite normal."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "I've heard more about the Shadow Rabbit Vine, and only incidentally about the Heartburn Chi. There are rumors that the latter contains True Yang Force. Looking at it this way, it does indeed pair with the Shadow Rabbit Vine."

She turned to look at Lei Jun, "Since the Shadow Rabbit Vine and Heartburn Chi appear as a pair, it means they perfectly complement and counteract each other. No wonder the Shadow Rabbit Vine isn't compatible with your Vermilion Sun Blossom."

Lei Jun spread his hands upon hearing this.

"But let's not rush to remove Youpeng Mountain, Qiluo Valley from the list just yet."
