The chapter ended with Yue'er calming Lin Xuan before he could fight Xiao Tao, while Xiao Tao's reason for visiting remained unexplained.

• Xiao Tao called Lin Xuan's cultivation speed pig-like progress and claimed it was praise, enraging him.
• Yue'er pulled Lin Xuan back and urged him not to fight Xiao Tao, so he relented because she was Yue'er's bonded treasure.

Xiao Tao revealed that she had found a pill formula that could restore Lin Xuan’s lost Origin Qi. The Shangyuan Falling Snow Pill could even advance his cultivation, but its rare ingredients and difficult refinement made success uncertain, so Yue'er asked Xiao Tao about the resources she had left behind before reincarnating.

• Xiao Tao told Yue'er and Lin Xuan that the treasury lacked several ingredients for the Shangyuan Falling Snow Pill, including the supposedly unobtainable Nine Spirit Immortal Herb.

Lin Xuan gathered the five rare materials needed for the Shangyuan Falling Snow Pill and began refining it to repair his damaged Life Origin Qi. With Xiao Tao’s preparations complete, he started the alchemy process in a guarded room, intending to rely on the Blue Star Sea to purify the result.

• Lin Xuan revealed that he already possessed the Phoenix-Falling Flower, Emerald Spirit Fruit, Cold Snow Ginseng, Spirit-Nurturing Wood, and Glazed Sky Fire Liquid, then produced them for Xiao Tao and Yue'er.
