At the foot of Longji Mountain, clouds and mist swirled. Before the vermilion gates of the Lei family estate, two massive bronze lions stood in imposing fashion, their eyes flickering with pale purple lightning as if vigilantly watching every visitor. As Su Yao, Lin Yu, and Qin Mo stood before the gate, the invitation in their hands began to glow, resonating with the runes on the entrance until the heavy doors creaked slowly open.
Stepping into the estate, they were met with a lush landscape of spirit plants. Crystals of thunder-bamboo swayed in the breeze, each leaf shimmering with fine, electric light. In the distance, between pavilions and halls, figures moved about—all of them Cultivators dressed in fine robes. Su Yao could feel the air thick with potent, thunder-aspected Spiritual Energy, which echoed faintly with the aura emanating from her jade token.

The trio followed him through winding corridors until they reached a spacious hall. In the center lay a vast, shimmering thunder pond, its waters churning with purple arcs of electricity. The surrounding walls were embedded with countless glowing spirit stones, illuminating the room as if it were broad daylight.
