Xu Yuanzhen felt quite pleased with her new painting.

Lei Jun just spread his hands and smiled, letting it go.

The two chatted and joked, only as an occasional diversion.

For Lei Jun, what mattered most right now was still harmonizing the True Yang and True Yin power newly refined and merged into his body through his Original Talisman.

After several days of hard work, he finally stabilized his own state completely.

"Well, then let's part ways here."

Xu Yuanzhen stood up, "You're heading south to Red Abyss Cave Heaven to condense your Nine Earth Yin Wind Evil, and I'll keep heading north."

Lei Jun had intended to just nod and agree.

Unexpectedly, the sphere of light in his mind started flickering at that moment.

Words appeared on it,

[When mountains and rivers move, the Dragon Calamity unfolds, hearts remain calm, and the heavens clear themselves.]

Then, three streaks of fate-lots shot out from the light sphere.

Lei Jun read carefully, and as soon as he saw the first, he felt a bit surprised,

[The best lot, stay in Qiluo Valley and do nothing, maintain inner peace, and by tomorrow afternoon you will gain a third-rank opportunity, which can be expanded further—with no risk or ill effect before expansion, extremely auspicious!]

*Could he really get the best lot here?*

*Lei Jun's interest was instantly piqued.*

He looked at the other two fate-lots and found both of them were perfectly neutral lots,

[A perfectly neutral lot, leave Qiluo Valley and travel far, to locations outside the main peak of Youpeng Mountain, neither gain nor risk, nothing gained, nothing lost, average.]

[A perfectly neutral lot, leave Qiluo Valley and go to the main peak of Youpeng Mountain, you will receive an eighth-rank opportunity by tomorrow afternoon, there are hidden dangers, average.]

After thinking it over for a moment, Lei Jun said to Xu Yuanzhen, "I'm planning to stay a few more days."

Xu Yuanzhen, "For what?"

Lei Jun took out his Vermilion Sun Blossom.

After a period of cultivation, the pure white petals now shimmered with lustrous radiance, brighter and brighter, already covering the entire stem completely.

"The environment here is excellent, so I decided to take the chance to further warm and nurture my Vermilion Sun Blossom," Lei Jun said, "I feel this spiritual object will fully mature within these few days."

He hadn't lied.

The presence of Shadow Rabbit Vine and Heartburn Chi here made this place relatively friendly for True Yin and True Yang spiritual objects.

And his Vermilion Sun Blossom truly was on the verge of maturity.

Of course, it wasn't absolutely urgent right now—leaving with the Vermilion Sun Blossom wouldn't prevent it from maturing a few days later.

He considered this just killing two birds with one stone.

"Then you stay, I won't keep you company anymore. But lately the earth veins have been shifting frequently, so be careful here."

Xu Yuanzhen turned straight away, waving a hand behind her back at Lei Jun. Black thunderclouds carried her feet upwards, and she soon flew out of Qiluo Valley, leaving not a trace of hesitation.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for the guidance, I'll be careful." Lei Jun thanked Xu Yuanzhen, watching her figure disappear into the distance.

With Lei Jun alone left in the valley, he looked around, didn't bother to change his spot, and sat back down cross-legged, silently cultivating.

The third-rank opportunity was, without a doubt, extraordinary.

Especially reading that best lot's fate-lot, this third-rank opportunity even had the possibility of further expansion afterward.

*It surely couldn't be any ordinary treasure.*

When searching for Heartburn Chi earlier, Xu Yuanzhen had practically combed through the entire region.

She had stayed in the mountain for days afterward as well.

If there had been some extremely profound spiritual object hidden here in Youpeng Mountain, normally, Xu Yuanzhen shouldn't have missed it.

Since Xu Yuanzhen hadn't found it before, that suggested the third-rank opportunity mentioned in the best lot hadn't yet arrived in the area of Qiluo Valley and Youpeng Mountain.

*More likely it corresponded to the phrase, "When mountains and rivers move, the Dragon Calamity unfolds,"—only after some change in the land and rivers would the opportunity appear here in Qiluo Valley.*

*Speaking of which, would a major earthquake hit this area after such a shift in mountains and rivers?*

Lei Jun glanced about the tranquil and peaceful valley before him.

Xu Yuanzhen had also warned that the earth veins here were behaving abnormally, which somewhat corroborated the fate-lot's description.

Based on past experience, since it was the best lot, it not only signified great reward but also meant extremely low risk, at least danger with no real harm.

So Lei Jun didn't hesitate further and settled comfortably in Qiluo Valley, quietly cultivating.

It certainly matched the phrase "hearts remain calm."

*Now, it remained to be seen whether "the heavens clear themselves."*

As night deepened, sunset came.

Lei Jun immersed himself in cultivation, not minding the passage of time.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and turned toward the mouth of the valley.

There, a group of people entered the valley together.

At the head, two people wore apricot Daoist robes.

Following behind them were three young Tao Boys in gray robes.

As the group came into the valley and saw Lei Jun in his deep red Taoist robe, they couldn't help but all freeze for a moment.

The yellow-robed Daoist in the middle came to after a moment, surprised and delighted, "Is that Master Lei?"

Lei Jun, "Have we met before?"

The yellow-robed Daoist quickly answered, "Disciple is from the Yuhang School. It's understandable that Master Lei hasn't taken notice of me, but previously, when I returned to the mountain with my school elders, I glimpsed Master Lei from afar."

The Yuhang School—along with Tianxu Sect and Purple Cloud Sect—were all Taoist Talisman Sect branches, offshoots from the Celestial Master Mansion after it had branched out, all considering Dragon Tiger Mountain their ancestral court.

The other yellow-robed Daoist, although he hadn't seen Lei Jun before, responded instantly upon hearing his peer call him Master Lei.

Currently, Celestial Master Mansion at Dragon Tiger Mountain only had one Talisman-bestowed Taoist with the surname Lei.

The pride of Elder Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun, and Lei Chongyun.

Lei Jun might not have been as famous as Xu Yuanzhen, Li Zhengxuan, or Tang Xiaotang, but he was now a rising star among the new generation of outstanding heirs in the Celestial Master Mansion lineage at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

On the rosters of other top powers, his name was already listed—let alone among the various branches of the Taoist Talisman Sect.
