Xue Luochuan and Xue Haicang discussed competing for power after Xue Qinghe gained the emperor’s favor, then Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue arrived in Heaven Dou City to investigate its factions. As they explored the city, Moxiong sensed someone following them.

• Xue Luochuan suggested that he and Xue Haicang should take by force what others would not give them, and they agreed to let the better man win.
• Two months later, Bai Wanwan reflected that Xue Qinghe, Xue Luochuan, and Xue Haicang were still alive because Qian Renxue had not infiltrated the imperial family.

• Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan explored Heaven Dou City while Moxiong noticed someone was tailing them and continued following the women without warning them.

Xue Beng followed Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan through Heaven Dou City, then approached them at a food stall to learn about their identities. Bai Wanwan claimed they came from a wealthy household and introduced Moxiong as their powerful protector, while the group waited to see what Xue Beng wanted.

• Xue Beng decided to approach Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan after judging that their unknown background might not be a threat, and arranged for his guards to fetch reinforcements if needed.

• Xue Beng ignored Bai Wanwan’s warning and reached for her, so Moxiong struck him unconscious at Qian Renxue’s instruction.
• Qian Renxue told Moxiong to leave the other guards alone so they could use the incident as a pretext, and the stall owner warned the group to leave.

• A guard returned with Xue Luochuan, and Moxiong revealed his nine Spirit Rings as the prince approached the stall.
• Xue Luochuan slapped the guard for letting Xue Beng behave like a wastrel, sent him away, and remained at a distance from Moxiong.

Prince Xue Xing learned that Xue Beng had offended people protected by a Titled Douluo, while Xue Luochuan tried to negotiate their release. Prince Xue Xing arrived at the stall with Dugu Bo, whose inability to sense Moxiong’s soul power suggested that Moxiong was far stronger than he was.

• Xue Luochuan agreed to negotiate compensation for his brother’s actions.
• Prince Xue Xing and Dugu Bo arrived with two guards carrying gift boxes, and Dugu Bo sensed no soul power from Moxiong.

Prince Xue Xing offered Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan gifts and promised that Xue Beng would face the Emperor’s judgment, and the women agreed to let the matter rest after Dugu Bo appealed to them. As they departed, Xue Luochuan realized Moxiong was their subordinate, while Prince Xue Xing stayed behind to ask Dugu Bo about his faction.

• Guibao told Bai Wanwan that a man had arrived with a gift from Xue Luochuan, and she asked to meet him.
• Bai Wanwan read Xue Luochuan’s letter offering them a mansion, then returned the key and letter unopened and sent the messenger away.

• Bai Wanwan left the hotel with Guibao and Yang Wushuang and went to Dugu Bo's secluded courtyard in Heaven Dou City.

• Bai Wanwan calmly warned Dugu Bo that Guibao and Yang Wushuang could teach him a lesson if he refused to reason.

Bai Wanwan used Guibao and Yang Wushuang’s strength to make Dugu Bo negotiate over a cure for his and his granddaughter’s poison. After leaving Dugu Bo to decide what he would pay, she set out for Sunset Forest to claim the treasures at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The dragon's roar alerted the Spirit Beasts and drew the attention of the Star Dou Great Forest's master, who ordered Di Tian to bring Bai Wanwan to her.

• Bai Wanwan, Guibao, and Yang Wushuang reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Bai Wanwan felt her bloodline drawing her toward the pool.
• Bai Wanwan told Yang Wushuang to gather the immortal herbs with Guibao's help, then dove into the blue side of the pool.

• The master at the Lake of Life sensed the Water Dragon King's presence and ordered Di Tian to bring her to see her.

Bai Wanwan emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with two divine artifacts and joined Guibao and Yang Wushuang, who had gathered all fourteen immortal herbs. After testing the Azure Dragon Heart Crown’s concealment skill on the way back to Heaven Dou City, she headed for the hotel to share the herbs with her sister, while Di Tian arrived at the well searching for the Water Dragon King’s aura.

• At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bai Wanwan learned the abilities of the Azure Dragon Heart Crown and Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear, then swam back to the surface.
• Guibao and Yang Wushuang confirmed Bai Wanwan was unharmed, and Yang Wushuang gave her the fourteen gathered immortal herbs.
• Bai Wanwan stored the herbs and used Water Flow Concealment as she left the well with Guibao and Yang Wushuang.
• After the group departed, Di Tian appeared at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and searched for the Water Dragon King’s aura.
• On the journey through the Sunset Forest, Bai Wanwan found that Water Flow Concealment used almost no soul power, while Guibao and Yang Wushuang could not detect her with spiritual power.
• Bai Wanwan reached Heaven Dou City, turned off the concealment skill, and headed toward the hotel planning to share the immortal herbs with her sister.

• Bai Wanwan visited Qian Renxue and explained how she had obtained the immortal herbs, while leaving out the full details of her connection to the Water Dragon King.

• Bai Wanwan asked Xue Luochuan to give them a reason to support his ambition.

• Xue Luochuan explained that supporting him would carry limited risk and said he believed Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan had enough power to help him challenge Xue Qinghe.
• Qian Renxue asked whether he feared they would support Xue Qinghe instead, and Xue Luochuan replied that he could only try to win them over.

Bai Wanwan negotiated with Dugu Bo over his offer to help her in exchange for curing his poison, and asked him to give her the Nine-Section Emerald. Dugu Bo agreed and handed her the Ruyi Treasure Pouch containing the snake, while Bai Wanwan said she would prepare for the treatment.

• Bai Wanwan asked Dugu Bo to add the Nine-Section Emerald to his offer, and he took the snake out of his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.
• The Nine-Section Emerald froze in fear under Bai Wanwan’s gaze, and she asked Dugu Bo to give it to her.
• Dugu Bo warned Bai Wanwan about the snake’s deadly venom, then agreed to give it to her and placed the Ruyi Treasure Pouch in front of her.
• Bai Wanwan agreed to cure Dugu Bo’s poison after preparing the necessary things and promised to call on him only when she needed his help.
• Bai Wanwan asked how much the Ruyi Treasure Pouch could hold, and Dugu Bo said it could fit a little over a hundred snakes the size of the Nine-Section Emerald.

Bai Wanwan took in Nine-Section Emerald, instructed Yang Wushuang to help Dugu Bo remove his poison, and later discovered a mysterious golden-eyed man in her room. When she attacked him with the Reverse Wave Dragon Spine Spear, he caught it effortlessly and remarked that her strength was too low.
