• Yunxi entered Chong'an Auction House in disguise and offered a vial of Gene Enhancement Potion for auction, presenting her Medicine Immortal Sect token as proof of her credentials.

• Yunxi helped Cen Sen capture an evil cultivator, then secretly had Xiao Meng pull him into the Dream Realm before the City Guard Station could question him.
• At the inn, Yunxi refused to share a table with Mo Jiu and arranged for Xiao Meng to draw Mo Liang into the Dream Realm so she could bargain for the Luck-Turning Bead.
• Xiao Meng learned that the evil cultivators had targeted Mu Zijun and the Luck-Turning Bead, and revealed that their informants were in the City Guard Station and the City Lord's Mansion.
• Mo Jiu recognized Yunxi’s exceptional fortune and agreed with Mo Liang to act against her that night.
• Xiao Meng sensed her sister next door and warned Yunxi that Mo Jiu planned to use the Rock Heart to seize Yunxi’s fortune.

• Yunxi explained that she sought Yan Yun's Rock Heart and took Mo Jiu's Chong'an Auction House token, which could claim the other half he had sent to auction.
• Mo Jiu withdrew from the domain, carried the sleeping Mo Liang away, and left Chong'an City through the Teleportation Formation.
• Xiao Meng told Yunxi that Mo Liang would never wake again.

• Liu Botang substituted Yunxi's Enhancement Potion for the missing bead and praised it at the auction.
• A cultivator bought the first vial and had his junior consume it in front of the audience.

Yunxi returned to Yan Shi Village with the recovered Rock Heart, then claimed Xiao Meng as her reward and warned Village Chief Yan that the village was no longer safe. As Yunxi left Chong'an Mountain, a Flying Sword Message flew toward her.

• The Enhancement Potion became famous after a buyer broke through in cultivation and gained five Spiritual Root Root Value points, drawing renewed attention to the Medicine Immortal Sect.
• Huo Chongshan, Ming Zong, and Ming Yu suspected Ranxi was responsible for the potion, while Yunxi disguised herself and traveled toward Yan Shi Village with Xiao Meng.

• Yunxi warned Village Chief Yan that Mo Jiu and she had found the village, then departed with Xiao Meng, who agreed to stay with her.
• As Yunxi left Chong'an Mountain, a Flying Sword Message shot toward her.

Yunxi reasoned that evil cultivators had used Breath-Concealing Potions to frame her and drive a wedge between her and the Medicine Immortal Sect, so she headed toward Songran City intending to expose the sect’s traitor. Midway, an arrogant Body Integration cultivator intercepted her, and Yunxi immediately began fighting him.

• Yunxi put away her companions and Flying Boat, formed a barrier, and attacked the cultivator with her Seven-Star Deadly Staff; he blocked her strike with his Soaring Dragon Cudgel before she pressed the attack.

Wei Yunxi fought Su Miao after he tried to take her away without explaining why, then stopped a devastating secret art when he revealed that he was sent by the Su family to bring her to Feng Jiayun. She refused to trust him and demanded that her mother come see her in person before she would go to the clan grounds.

• Wei Yunxi and Su Miao exchanged fierce attacks while their Artifact Spirits, Hei Yao and the gray dragon, battled nearby.
• Wei Yunxi threatened to sacrifice her Lightning Spiritual Root with the secret art Wrath of Thunder, forcing Su Miao to reveal his identity and purpose.

• After three days, Yunxi woke and told her companions that her injuries had stabilized.
• Yunxi explained Su Miao's identity and purpose, and Lili questioned whether his invitation to reunite with Feng Jiayun could be trusted.
• Yunxi revealed that she had controlled the secret technique's progress and used it to make Su Miao fear her without seriously damaging her Spiritual Roots.
• Yunxi admitted she spared Su Miao because she did not yet understand the Su family's motives and did not want to put Feng Jiayun at risk.

After Yunxi drove Su Miao off, he returned to the Su family intending to manipulate Feng Jiayun and keep her from acknowledging her daughter. Yunxi reached Songran City, learned about Ascending Cloud Tower, and sought out information about the mysterious Bing Li.

• Su Miao tended his wounds and recalled how he had plotted to provoke Yunxi, injure her, and drive a wedge between her and Feng Jiayun.
• Su Miao decided to tell Feng Jiayun part of the truth and returned to the Su family, unaware that Yunxi’s Recording Stone earring had captured his actions.

• An attendant told Yunxi that Ascending Cloud Tower had arrived in the city and described its performances and cultivation-enhancing reputation.
• The attendant recommended Bing Li as an information broker and said she had recently been pursuing Young Master Jin Xiu of Ascending Cloud Tower.

• Yunxi cultivated overnight in her courtyard’s Spirit Gathering Formation, then took Lili with her to guard against Evil Cultivators using Breath-Concealing Potions.

Yunxi paid Ascending Cloud Tower for Jin Xiu’s company, intending to bring him to Immortal Guest Like Clouds and learn more about the Su family and Feng Jiayun from Bing Li. After discovering that Jin Xiu’s zither concealed a troubling secret, she left with him anyway, planning to investigate him once he reached her territory.

• Yunxi paid to meet Jin Xiu at Ascending Cloud Tower, where his zither music tried to draw her into an illusion realm.
• Yunxi offered Jin Xiu a Storage Ring full of high-grade spirit stones to leave with her, and he accepted after saying he would report to the Tower Master.
• Lili told Yunxi that Jin Xiu had two souls, including a powerful, foul-seeming one, and Yunxi planned to investigate him after they returned.
• Jin Xiu returned, and Yunxi departed Ascending Cloud Tower with him in a splendid sedan carriage bound for Immortal Guest Like Clouds.

Yunxi obtained Bing Li’s account of the Su family’s history while arranging to meet Jin Xiu in private. She then revealed that Jin Xiu was possessed by an Evil Soul and proposed that they search his soul to uncover what was happening at Ascending Cloud Tower.

• Yunxi brought Jin Xiu to her courtyard, set up a barrier, and summoned Bing Li for the information she wanted.
• Bing Li explained Feng Jiayun’s arrival in the Su family, her relationship with Su Jing, and the family’s history involving Sheng Xia and Su Miao.

• Yunxi told Bing Li that Jin Xiu was possessed by an Evil Soul and had concealed its Evil Qi with a Breath-Concealing Potion.
• Yunxi proposed that she and Bing Li search Jin Xiu’s soul together because they did not know whether Ascending Cloud Tower had a problem.

Yunxi and Bing Li exposed Jin Xiu as a possessed evil cultivator and arranged to investigate Ascending Cloud Tower. After Bing Li used an Ice Soul Cicada to make Jin Xiu his puppet, Yunxi suspected that Jin Xiu had avoided Bing Li because he knew Bing Li’s identity.

• Yunxi and Bing Li signed a contract to share information and entered Jin Xiu’s room together.
• Yunxi sealed Jin Xiu, and Bing Li drained his cultivation down to the Foundation Establishment Realm before extracting his Nascent Soul.
• Bing Li searched the Nascent Soul and confirmed that Jin Xiu had been possessed by an evil cultivator.
• Bing Li used an Ice Soul Cicada to restore the Nascent Soul and ordered Jin Xiu to investigate Ascending Cloud Tower within a month.
• Lili identified the Ice Soul Cicada as a rare Puppet Worm, and Yunxi warned Lili to watch for Bing Li using one on her.
• Yunxi suggested that Jin Xiu had avoided Bing Li because he recognized Bing Li’s identity.

Yunxi and Bing Li discovered their shared history of deceiving evil cultivators and agreed to target the Ascending Cloud Tower’s young cultivators. Yunxi left the tower with Zhuge Muyu, whom Lili identified as an evil cultivator, while Han Qingwen watched her go with a gloomy expression.

• Han Qingwen presented ten Void Refining disciples, and Lili warned Yunxi that all of them cultivated evil techniques.
• Yunxi selected Zhuge Muyu, gave Han Qingwen a Storage Bracelet, and left the tower with him.

Yunxi kept watch on Zhuge Muyu, who revealed that Han Qingwen was trapping him at Ascending Cloud Tower and offered to follow her to the Ancient Battlefield as a healer. After examining his Wood Spiritual Root, Yunxi called him her benefactor.

• Yunxi told Zhuge Muyu she belonged to the Su family and feared going to the Ancient Battlefield, while he tried to comfort her.
• Yunxi brought Zhuge Muyu from Ascending Cloud Tower to her courtyard, where he begged her to take him away.
• Zhuge Muyu said Han Qingwen had made other cultivators disappear and would not truly let him leave Ascending Cloud Tower.
• Zhuge Muyu revealed his Wood Single Spiritual Root and healing ability, explaining that he had concealed them from Han Qingwen.
• Yunxi examined Zhuge Muyu's Spiritual Root and declared him her benefactor.
