• Wang Changsheng fed the Twin-Pupil Spirit Rat a green fruit, and it raced into the mountains as the four followed it in search of spiritual medicine and a Second-Order Spirit Beast.

Wang Qingyuan suspected a customer seeking century-old fishy grass might be connected to someone in an Azure Painting Scroll and decided to inform Eighth Uncle. Meanwhile, Wang Changsheng and his companions found and killed a Tier 2 White Centipede guarding century-old Mystic Ice Grass, then followed the Twin-Pupil Spirit Rat deeper into the forest.

• Chen Qingshu regretted that Shangguan Rui had not carried the Core Formation Spiritual Object and worried that he could not obtain enough Fishy Grass to purge the poison.

Wang Changsheng and his companions killed a Tier 2 Demon Bird in the White Dragon Mountain Range before Wang Mingjiang summoned them to investigate a suspected Taiyi Immortal Sect fugitive. As Wang Changsheng's group headed for Azure Moon Market, Wang Qingyuan reported that Chen Qingshu was growing impatient over a delayed delivery of Fishy Grass.
