The Training Grounds Key card reads “A key hanging from a yellow jade ring. Opens the main gate to the Training Grounds.” The Mandate Valley Gate Key card reads “The Mandate fortified the valley and built a route to their encampment.”

This area doesn’t contain the key for reaching the region. Find the Mandate Encampment Outer Gate Key in Pangzhen; it unlocks the encampment’s outer entrance. Once you pick it up, the Pillars of Kunlun quest objective reads “Enter the Mandate Encampment”.
