Feng Jun learned that the Yin Soul could get him through the formation around a secret vault in the Wen Clan’s enclosure tower, but an active Spirit-Gathering Formation kept him from entering. He stayed at Wen Manor and set up a divination stall, where he identified a couple’s hidden injuries and warned the man that Ghost-Faced Scorpion venom had made his condition serious.

• The Yin Soul revealed another secret vault at Myriad Blessings Platform, but Feng Jun refused to accompany it there and considered the enclosure tower instead.

• After examining a couple, Feng Jun said the woman’s condition was minor and revealed that the man’s hidden injuries had worsened after an encounter with a Ghost-Faced Scorpion.

Feng Jun treated two sets of cultivators at Wen Manor’s trading platform, using his divination business as cover while he sought a reason to remain there.
