Chu Xinghe discovered that the Three Continents' factions had almost no Blood Spirit Stones available for the Reverse Spirit Formations, despite owning the mines. Qin Xiangqian revealed that the great clans had bought and stockpiled the stones, leaving the factions to face negotiations with them.

• The gathered leaders realized they would have to approach the great clans for Blood Spirit Stones despite their strained relations.

Qin Xiangqian explained that aristocratic families had quietly exchanged their ordinary spirit stones for Blood Spirit Stones because the stones retained their spiritual power and had become a stable store of value. With the Three Continents needing Blood Spirit Stones for Reverse Spirit Formations, Chu Xinghe invited the families to negotiate a purchase, leaving him frustrated that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would have to pay dearly.

• Qin Xiangqian explained why the aristocratic families had accumulated Blood Spirit Stones and why their ties to every major power made it dangerous to seize them by force.

• Chu Xinghe accepted that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would suffer a major loss to buy the stones, though he resented being forced into this particular deal.

On the fourth day, Chu Xinghe proposed exchanging all the Blood Spirit Stone produced annually by the Holy Land’s mines and Evil God's Fang for their entire supply, leaving the representatives stunned.

• Shen Chun informed the aristocratic families that Vast Heaven Holy Land needed to buy their Blood Spirit Stone, and the families’ patriarchs chose three representatives to negotiate.

The families signed a binding Heavenly Dao Contract granting them the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s Blood Spirit Stones, leaving their representatives stunned and Chu Xinghe convinced he had secured the agreement.

• As the families rejected Chu Xinghe’s offer of three times the price, he promised them all Blood Spirit Stones from the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s mines and its share of the Evil God’s Fang, along with free mining services.

He eagerly accepted Gui Li’s estimate that the restoration would consume half the Vast Heaven Divine Domain’s nine-colored spirit stones, hoping to secure a major loss while the Misfortune Compass was distracted by the contract.

• The aristocratic families and people across the Three Continents learned that Chu Xinghe had signed a Heavenly Dao Contract giving the families the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s blood spirit stones, and they declared the families the victors.
• People blamed Ma Liang’s Same Lifespan as Heaven and Earth plan for worsening relations with the aristocratic families, leaving Ma Liang to doubt himself under the criticism.
