• After several months of Lin Xuan's hesitation, Peacock came up with a plan.

Lin Xuan and Peacock Fairy, whose name was Yuanyuan, shared a night together after she secretly tested his affection with wine containing sincere heart grass. The next day, she sealed his magical power and explained that she had to leave because her remaining primordial demon qi would eventually kill him if they stayed together.

• Peacock poured Lin Xuan wine secretly mixed with sincere heart grass to test whether his affection for her was genuine.

• The next morning, Lin Xuan learned Peacock's name was Yuanyuan and promised that they would stay together.
• Peacock suddenly sealed Lin Xuan's magical power and told him she had to leave temporarily so her primordial demon qi would not kill him.

Peacock Fairy explained that the Primordial Demon Qi could only be dissolved once either she or Lin Xuan reached the Dongxuan stage, and she left to prevent their proximity from hindering their cultivation. After freeing himself from Yuanyuan’s restriction, Lin Xuan returned to Kui Moon City to visit Miao You, where a guard mistook him for an outside cultivator.

• Peacock Fairy told Lin Xuan that one of them had to reach the Dongxuan stage to overcome the Primordial Demon Qi, then flew away despite their reluctance to part.
• Two hours later, Lin Xuan broke Yuanyuan’s restriction, resolved to pursue the Dongxuan stage, and flew back toward Kui Moon City.
