• Qu Jianlei entered Mangyuan with Luo Hanshuang and Aunt Han, and the group discussed how to find a river and watch out for venomous snakes.

• Aunt Han and Luo Hanshuang encountered a swarm of Rank C and Rank B rats, and Qu Jianlei provided covering fire from the off-road vehicle.

• When nearby rustling drew the group's attention, someone called out to Leng Bingbing, and Luo Hanshuang recognized Pang Hu Hu.

Luo Hanshuang welcomed her classmate Pang Hu Hu and two guards into the group’s protected camp, where the survivors agreed to travel together. Talk of Luo Hanshuang’s ancestor as an Original Ability Warrior drew Qu Jianlei’s interest in Primal Warriors, and Aunt Han ended the night by asking whether he came from a Divine Script Family.

• Luo Hanshuang recognized Pang Hu Hu and her two guards, but the group first ran into the Defense Array before Qu Jianlei shut it off.
• Luo Hanshuang offered the newcomers a tent and food, and Pang Hu Hu explained that her team had traveled by raft before river beasts injured her guard.

• Qu Jianlei learned that the Luo Family had little Divine Script inheritance and turned down Aunt Han's offer of a Special Advisor position.

• Qu Jianlei found several plants, flying beast eggs, and mineral deposits during four days of searching, while Aunt Han found two energy-rich plants.
• Qu Jianlei discovered a carved stone chamber and used a Golden Ray to cut through a wall, revealing a hidden layer.

Qu Jianlei found a hidden cavern containing a powerful, possibly legendary liquid and concealed it from the others under the pretense of a confidential research project. As he flew the group onward, two military mechs intercepted them at a restricted zone inside the Mystic Mansion.

• Qu Jianlei and the others discovered a natural cavern where an off-white liquid gathered in a stone bowl beneath a stalactite, and he suspected it was Ten Thousand Year Stone Marrow.
• Qu Jianlei decided to keep the liquid and briefly considered killing the witnesses, but instead claimed it was part of a confidential research project.
• Qu Jianlei collected the liquid, and Xiao Hu estimated that it had accumulated over roughly three thousand years; the group agreed to keep the discovery secret and sealed the entrance.
• Qu Jianlei flew the others toward their destination, and the group traveled in tense silence as the B-rank guards considered the hidden cavern and its risks.
• Two military mechs rose ahead and ordered Qu Jianlei's group to halt for inspection in a military restricted zone, and Aunt Han advised them to comply.

Qu Jianlei’s group passed through a military-controlled area and reached Xingluo Academy’s internship quarters at the Empire’s Guardian Emblem. As they settled in, Gao Zhuang showed them a piece of wood that might be Soul Nourishing Wood and reported Beibei’s withdrawal after a deadly encounter.

• A military officer checked the group’s identification, ordered them to keep the day’s events secret, and escorted them through a winding route to a place where they could rest.

• Gao Zhuang told the group that Beibei had withdrawn after losing an arm and a guard, prompting Luo Hanshuang to ask whether anything had happened among the boys.

After the students completed the first stage of their internship, they entered a mysterious hall and chose doors leading to unknown trials. Qu Jianlei, Aunt Han, and Luo Hanshuang arrived on a misty Blue Stone path, where Luo Hanshuang warned of dangerous beasts and hidden opportunities.

• More Xingluo Academy students arrived, and Luo Hanshuang and Daniela teamed up to hunt near the mountain range while Qu Jianlei and the other guards followed.
• On the twenty-fifth day, teachers went to retrieve four missing groups; all the students returned, though one had to abandon the internship because of severe injuries.
• On the twenty-seventh day, the students entered a vast ancient hall where their cultivation was suppressed, then gathered in a white space filled with doors.
• Qu Jianlei used Storm to scan the doors, but Xiao Hu found no differences, so Luo Hanshuang prayed and chose one by instinct.
• Qu Jianlei, Aunt Han, and Luo Hanshuang entered the door and emerged on a mist-shrouded Blue Stone path, where Luo Hanshuang asked whether they should seek opportunities or focus on advancing.

Qu Jianlei, Luo Hanshuang, and Aunt Han crossed the Mystic Mansion’s Blue Stone path, where Qu Jianlei sensed dangers and resources while Luo Hanshuang used her lasso to retrieve them. They continued onward with a Snow Lotus and Fire Crystal, learning that the ore had damaged Luo Hanshuang’s rope.

• Qu Jianlei learned that the path stretched for one or two hundred kilometers, had forks and an end puzzle, and should be completed within two days.
• Aunt Han pulled Luo Hanshuang away from the path’s edge as a hidden A-rank beast churned the soil, and Qu Jianlei revealed that his Mental Strength could sense things over a hundred meters away.

• Qu Jianlei detected Fire Attribute ore less than one hundred and ten meters away, and Luo Hanshuang lassoed it successfully.
• Aunt Han identified the ore as Fire Crystal and warned Luo Hanshuang that it had damaged the alloy rope, which could now snap easily.

Qu Jianlei, Luo Hanshuang, and Aunt Han gathered rare plants and resources in the Mystic Mansion while discussing the dangers and value of their finds. After Qu Jianlei declined a Metal Crystal offered as compensation, Aunt Han remained suspicious of his motives.

• Luo Hanshuang salvaged usable rope and retrieved half a Lingzhi, prompting an A-rank Thunder Goat to attack; Qu Jianlei shot it, and Aunt Han secured its valuable horn.
• Aunt Han explained that Thunder Goat Horns could be made into rare weapons for Electromagnetic Attribute Awakened Ones, while Qu Jianlei privately considered asking for the entire horn.
• Luo Hanshuang retrieved a Water Crystal after several attempts and used up more rope, while Aunt Han worried that their growing haul might awaken Qu Jianlei's greed.
• After five hours, Qu Jianlei found a Metal Crystal, but he declined it when Aunt Han offered it as compensation.
• Aunt Han watched Qu Jianlei continue onward and wondered why he had refused the Metal Crystal despite having shown interest in other gains.

Qu Jianlei, Luo Hanshuang, and Aunt Han reached the Abode’s endpoint and found a stone puzzle that Qu Jianlei recognized as Huarong Road. They discovered that Energy Block offerings revealed Divine Script on the pieces, and Aunt Han managed to inscribe a Pawn character, leaving the group able to move four stones.

• Luo Hanshuang chose paths at successive forks, and the group reached the Blue Stone square after two days of travel.
• Qu Jianlei recognized the Taiji Diagram and stone platform as a Huarong Road puzzle, then rested while Luo Hanshuang and Aunt Han examined it.
• Aunt Han proposed offering Energy Blocks, and Luo Hanshuang placed them on the Taiji Diagram until it absorbed them and revealed a Pawn character.
• Luo Hanshuang offered more Energy Blocks, revealing Pawn characters on two additional pieces and allowing the three marked stones to move.
• Aunt Han inscribed a Pawn character on a fourth stone with her Wood Attribute power and confirmed that it could move.

Luo Hanshuang and Aunt Han failed to activate the Taiji Diagram, so Qu Jianlei revealed his A-rank No Attribute and offered to solve the puzzle in exchange for secrecy and the Thunder Goat Horn. With time left before the Inner Circle deadline, he left to collect more treasures and retrieved a Wood Crystal.

• Luo Hanshuang spent dozens of crates of Energy Blocks and a Fire Crystal on the Taiji Diagram, but it did not react.
• Qu Jianlei agreed to help with the Divine Scripts in exchange for secrecy and the Thunder Goat Horn, then revealed his A-rank No Attribute by striking the ground with lightning.
• Aunt Han and Luo Hanshuang swore to keep Qu Jianlei's identity secret, and he asked how much time remained before the Inner Circle deadline.
• After learning that about fifteen hours remained and the Inner Circle had a separate time limit, Qu Jianlei rushed off to harvest more treasures, with Aunt Han and Luo Hanshuang following.
• Qu Jianlei used a tornado to retrieve a Wood Crystal, but Aunt Han refused it and said it was his opportunity.
• Luo Hanshuang asked why Qu Jianlei had not told her about distant treasures, and he replied that it had been more than one hundred and fifty meters away.

Qu Jianlei gathered Five Elements Crystals, recovered, and used the correct Divine Script names and moves to solve the Sword Across Horse formation. The Taiji Diagram transported him, Luo Hanshuang, and Aunt Han into a stone cavern containing shelves of items and a patterned pill furnace.

• Qu Jianlei swept up Five Elements Crystals and spirit plants along the route, then returned to Luo Hanshuang and Aunt Han before the deadline.
