Synopsis: Jiang Yun is an outer disciple at Tianshui Sect overlooked, damaged meridians and all who quietly tends spirit beasts and keeps to herself. When a third golden core mysteriously begins to crack from the inside and the sect scrambles for answers, Yun’s small, careful observations about the forest near the old sealed meditation caves may hold the only clue. As she’s drawn deeper into an investigation that reaches back thirty years to a forbidden cultivation incident, the Moon Peak’s cold, legendary ice disciple takes notice of her and neither of them is prepared for what that means.
