However, right now there was no need for the Great Celestial Mirror to help search.
With Lei Jun’s current cultivation strength, knowing that sothing strange might be lurking around the eastern foot of Qingyu Mountain, he focused on searching, and very few things could escape his senses and investigation.
Soon, Lei Jun found a target.
His gaze settled on the forested mountains.
But he did not move right away.
The appointed ti ntioned in the lot arrived, and amid the mountain rocks, a spiritual spring that had long dried up suddenly burst forth.
The spring water was bone-chilling and cold, yet clear and pure.
Under the moonlit night, it reflected the bright moon above, cold and desolate.
"Master, what’s this?" Zhuo Baojie asked, surprised.
Lei Jun said, "A Yin Moon Cold Spring water vein, looks like it has been dry for years. Recently, because of the surge of global spiritual energy, the water veins of the Grand River and the earth veins of the mountains changed, which caused this Yin Moon Cold Spring water vein to revive tonight."
Zhuo Baojie’s eyes were full of curiosity, looking around left and right.
Suddenly, he noticed threads of white vapor rising from the spring water, intensely cold.
Currently at the Fourfold Heaven Realm, Zhuo Baojie was in the process of condensing evil qi, and was very sensitive to it, more surprised, "Master, is that... evil qi?"
Lei Jun nodded, "That’s right, Ice Spring Moonshade Evil, a type of yin-cold evil qi, extrely rare.
It seems this water vein was revived due to the influence of the earth vein, but it’s extrely unstable and has already produced evil qi.
After tonight, the water vein itself will be destroyed by the evil qi born from it, both dissipating together."
The moderately good lot’s opportunity, it seed, was right here.
The reason the lot specifically ntioned ’midnight of the tenth day of the second lunar month’ was because, if you ca at the wrong ti, you could miss the revival of the Yin Moon Cold Spring, or see it destroyed by the Ice Spring Moonshade Evil just after rebirth.
Lei Jun smiled, looking at his senior disciple, "You’re pretty lucky."
Zhuo Baojie was usually composed, but at this mont his eyes were full of joy, itching to try.
*With Lei Jun’s careful guidance, whether Zhuo Baojie would rge with astral energy at the Fifth Layer Heaven Tao Palace Realm in the future was yet to be seen, but at the Fourfold Heavenly Origin Talisman Realm, his process of condensing evil qi followed in the footsteps of his master, Lei Jun.*
He also chose to simultaneously refine the Yin Yang Two Evil.
*That was related to his own foundations.*
Zhuo Baojie might not have excelled in spiritual soul ability, but his Mountain Pi clan was born able to rge yin and yang, water and fire, having a unique advantage in this respect.
Years ago, Yuan Mobai only pursued a single path in rging evil and astral energies, due to his own cultivation philosophy, always steady, never taking risks, pure and standard.
Of course, refining two types of yin yang evil at the sa ti did present many drawbacks and obstacles.
Not every Mountain Pi could easily solve this as if strolling through the park.
Luckily, this little bear’s third uncle, Chu Kun, had "traveled abroad" often over the past few years, always bringing back finds.
He recently discovered the Vast Integrity Paper, and before that had brought other spiritual treasures.
So were particularly useful for rging yin and yang.
Lei Jun’s root bone had evolved from Yin Yang Sacred Body into Dual Polarity Immortal Body, so he no longer had any need for such things.
Yuan Mobai, while studying Taoist Laws and Divine Skills, used them only for reference.
Thus, Zhuo Baojie was the lucky one, solidifying his innate foundation even further.
*It was after that that Lei Jun, after discussing with Zhuo Baojie, set for his disciple the sa path of refining Yin Yang Two Evil as himself.*
However, unlike Lei Jun refining Qingxiao Divine Thunder Evil and Nine Earth Yin Wind Evil, Zhuo Baojie was refining Yin Yang Twin Fiends through water and fire, going the more orthodox route—water as yin and fire as yang.
During the past four years, Zhuo Baojie had successfully refined fire evil.
He drew it from the Xuanyang Earth Fire Evil found within the Xuanyang Cave Heaven Earth Palace run by the Celestial Master Mansion.
But when it ca to the yin-cold water evil, he hadn’t found anything appropriate before this.
This Ice Spring Moonshade Evil was perfect.
Though the Yin Moon Cold Spring was extrely cold, and low-level cultivators wouldn’t even dare approach for fear of freezing to death, for Lei Jun, it was no threat whatsoever.
*Back when his cultivation was lower, Lei Jun collected treasures alongside Master Yuan Mobai or Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen, and with those two present, almost everything was within easy reach.*
For Lei Jun now, that remained the case.
With a casual gesture, he summoned silent and tranquil Mysterious Black Yin Thunder, gentle as water, which landed on the spring’s source among the mountains.
The soundless mysterious thunder first captured the Ice Spring Moonshade Evil.
Then, it swept up the entire Yin Moon Cold Spring water vein.
Neither the evil qi nor the water vein was hard, nor could they resist.
The evil qi and water vein seed to have lives of their own, writhing like two cold dragon-snakes within the mysterious thunder, but couldn’t break free at all.
The mysterious thunder swept across the hills, then soared upward again, arriving before Lei Jun and condensing into two black Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talismans.
One talisman shimred with a faint blue glow, the other with moon-white radiance, both exuding a slight chill.
"Don’t rush it, absorb and refine it slowly," Lei Jun said, handing the talisman containing the Ice Spring Moonshade Evil to his senior disciple.
Zhuo Baojie bead, but quickly composed himself, straightening his robes and solemnly receiving it, "Disciple will rember Master’s teachings."
The other talisman, which sealed the Yin Moon Cold Spring water vein, was kept by Lei Jun, intending to bring it back to the Dragon Tiger Mountain Ancestral Court for his master, Zhuo Baojie’s grandmaster, Yuan Mobai.
Yuan Mobai had recently been researching schools of dharma, also following the path of rging water and fire, yin and yang.
This was part of his preparations for one day breaking into the Nine Heavens Realm and creating his own lifebound Third Divine Power.
Therefore, there was no need to decide too hastily; he collected various water and fire dharma techniques to study, awaiting a final decision soday.
Lei Jun, Chu Kun, as well as Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, and Wang Guiyuan, all helped Yuan Mobai keep an eye out for relevant spiritual objects as they traveled.
