Inside the thatched cottage in the Path-Seeking Courtyard on Dao-Treasuring Peak, Xuanming had just sat down at his desk when he sensed a stir between his brows. He took out a jade pendant and raised his hand, sending a wisp of Samadhi True Fire into it. The true fire flowed into the pendant and vanished without a trace.
