Xiao Nanfeng took hold of the fragment of white jade and looked toward Lan Yaoguang. "Have you already consolidated the spiritual power and insight from the Cursebane Sword?"0

"I'm fine. You should activate that jade fragment and see what you can do with it. It might help us get out of here," Lan Yaoguang replied.0

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "Focus on consolidating what you have first. Let me analyze the jade fragment a little while longer.0

"Very well." Lan Yaoguang nodded and sat down in meditation.0

By then, the vast snowy plains had gone completely silent. The superior yin pearls and blue-furred monsters were all gone. Except for the swirling snowflakes in the sky, there was nothing else around them but themselves.0

After some time, Lan Yaoguang opened her eyes with a frown.0

"Well?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.0

"I'm almost at late-stage True Yin, but I'm just shy of reaching it," Lan Yaoguang murmured, a frustrated expression on her face.0

"That's good enough. We'll find more blue-furred lifeforms once we get out of here." Xiao Nanfeng smiled.0

Alright."...0
