• Three days later, Han Qingwen entered the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range and ordered his disciples toward the Inner Ring after seeing tribulation lightning there.
• Jin Xiu suspected the Su family was using a disciple's tribulation as cover for the estate's appearance, but Lili was the one undergoing tribulation.

Lili successfully broke through to the Fifth Order and transformed, while Yunxi and Yun Po prepared to confront Han Qingwen's evil cultivators. Han Qingwen set his plan in motion, and simultaneous disturbances at the Medicine Immortal Sect and the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range drew cultivators toward the Inner Ring.

• Lili underwent tribulation on a mountaintop, survived the final lightning bolt with Yunxi's formation disk, and successfully transformed into a human girl after receiving the Heavenly Dao Blessing.

• Han Qingwen used low-order spirit beasts to locate the entrance to the Ancient Cultivator's Cave beneath Yunxi's Capsule Dharma House and ordered Xia Yiwan to act the following night.
• A deafening boom and pillar of light appeared at the Medicine Immortal Sect, prompting Dragon City cultivators to speculate about an attack and gather outside its protective formation.
• A Nine-Wheel Formation appeared above the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range's Inner Ring, and cultivators who recognized it as the Evil Slaying Formation flew toward the area.

• Lu Zhihui emerged from the shadows in his true form as Yunxi and Yun Po turned toward a long cry.

• Yun Po was killed by Lu Zhihui, and Yunxi sent up distress fireworks before fleeing with the weakened Bing Li.
• Yunxi turned back when Lu Zhihui attacked the Heavenly Dipper Evil Slaying Formation and decided to hold him off while Bing Li prepared a sneak attack.

• Yunxi warned True Venerable Haoran that an Evil Soul was likely controlling Lu Zhihui, as the Beast Tide began surging toward Dragon City.
• Yunxi and Bing Li reached the outer ring, where cultivators were fighting the Beast Tide, and someone called out to Venerable Ran Xi.

Yunxi and Bing Li recovered after helping stop Lu Zhihui, while True Venerables Haoran and Xiao He restored his consciousness and contained the Beast Tide. Yunxi later woke in her Capsule Dharma House to find Lili protecting her.

• Yunxi refused Song Ke's offer to return her to Dragon City and retreated nearby to recover with Bing Li.
• True Venerable Haoran fought Lu Zhihui in his Domain until True Venerable Xiao He's xiao melody freed Lu Zhihui from the Evil Soul's control.
• The Heavenly Dipper Evil Slaying Formation shattered, Han Qingwen died, and Ranxi's Purple Flame returned with an Ice Soul Cicada.
• Lu Zhihui agreed to summon back the Demon Beasts he could control, while Xiao He stayed with him and Haoran returned to oversee the outer ring.
• Yuan Shuang and Hua Ye joined Haoran at the outer ring, and Yunxi woke after Lili protected her heart meridians.

After recovering from her injuries, Yunxi learned that evil cultivators were blaming her for the Beast Tide and went with Bing Li to the Medicine Immortal Sect. She arrived to meet its Old Ancestor while knowing that Huo Chongshan, who had escorted them there, was an evil cultivator.

• Yunxi healed her internal injuries and repaired her Meridians in the Advanced Treatment Pod, then spent seven days restoring her cultivation.
• Bing Li told Yunxi that people were accusing her of provoking Lu Zhihui and causing the Beast Tide, while Xia Yiwan remained critically injured and at risk from evil cultivators.

• Yunxi entered the great hall and saw the Medicine Immortal Sect's Old Ancestor waiting there.

Yunxi defended herself against accusations that she leaked the Breath-Concealing Potion formula and implicated Medicine Immortal Sect disciple Xia Yiwan. The gathering stalled when Xia Yiwan’s master opposed a soul search, and Yunxi proposed soul questioning despite not knowing how to perform it.

• Bing Li introduced Yunxi and the gathered True Venerables, and Yunxi explained that she had inherited the Medicine Immortal Sect legacy and established a pill-refining peak in the Haoran Sect.
• Yunxi said the Breath-Concealing Potion formula had been destroyed and described how Evil Cultivators had targeted her, while True Venerable Haoran supported her account.
• Yunxi and the True Venerables debated who was responsible for the formula’s leak, and Yunxi said she had seen Medicine Immortal Sect disciple Xia Yiwan meet the Evil Cultivator Han Qingwen and claim the potion came from her sect.
• Chen Yebai said Xia Yiwan was gravely injured, and Yunxi proposed searching her soul.
• You Zisang arrived, identified herself as Xia Yiwan’s master, and refused a soul search, so Yunxi suggested soul questioning while privately admitting to Bing Li that she did not know how to do it.

Yunxi offered to question Xia Yiwan’s soul before the True Venerables, but the group learned that Xia Yiwan’s divine soul had been shattered in an attack. Yunxi gathered the remaining Soul Power and awakened Xia Yiwan, leaving her ready to reveal what she had seen.

• Yunxi persuaded You Zisang and Chen Yebai to bring Xia Yiwan to the hall for soul-questioning.
• Bing Li told Yunxi that Xia Yiwan’s Ice Soul Cicada and Evil Soul had been crushed, and Yunxi suspected someone was silencing her.

• Yunxi proposed gathering traces of Xia Yiwan’s Soul Power from Liang Xiao and Huo Chongshan, and Chen Yebai ordered them to cooperate.
• Yunxi sealed Liang Xiao’s and Huo Chongshan’s spiritual power, then used Wood Spiritual Power to awaken Xia Yiwan.
• Xia Yiwan opened her eyes, and Yunxi invited her to tell the True Venerables what she had seen.

• Xia Yiwan recounted how an Evil Soul possessed her, how she escaped Ascending Cloud Tower with Ranxi’s help, and how she and Yunxi helped expose the sect’s traitors.
• Xia Yiwan accused Huo Chongshan of shattering her divine soul as part of a staged attack, then played a recording showing him plotting to steal the Undying Tree and injuring her to conceal his role.
• Xia Yiwan swore a Heavenly Dao oath that confirmed her claims, while You Zisang searched Liang Xiao and Huo Chongshan but found no Undying Tree on them.
• Yunxi told Xia Yiwan to check her Storage Bracelet, and Xia Yiwan found a sealed black box inside it.
• Chen Yebai removed the box’s seal and recovered the Undying Tree, while Yunxi explained how Liang Xiao and Huo Chongshan had used Xia Yiwan to smuggle it out.
• Bing Li explained that she had controlled the Evil Soul with a puppet seed, keeping it from discovering Xia Yiwan’s divine soul.

Yunxi exposed the evil cultivators’ plot involving the Undying Tree and learned that the Ancient Battlefield was likely in danger. She agreed to stay at the Medicine Immortal Sect to study Medicine Dao and help remove Evil Seeds, where she soon faced Lu Zhihui.

• Xia Yiwan thanked Bing Li and returned Yunxi’s Storage Bracelet, while Yunxi explained that evil cultivators had used it to frame her with the Undying Tree.
• You Zisang searched Liang Xiao’s soul, but Huo Chongshan killed himself after Yunxi described how cultivators could unite to delay the Evil God’s return.
• Yunxi admitted she had bluffed Huo Chongshan and deduced that the Ancient Battlefield was in trouble from the expanding Western Regions outpost.
• The True Venerables agreed to address the Beast Tide and Evil Seeds, and Chen Yebai asked Yunxi to help remove the seeds by studying Medicine Dao at the Medicine Immortal Sect.
• Yunxi chose to remain at the Medicine Immortal Sect and persuaded Bing Li to stay; her first difficult visitor was Lu Zhihui.

Ranxi examined Lu Zhihui after he suspected Han Qingwen had caused his loss of control, and found a hidden wisp of black qi on his Demon Core. Lu Zhihui took Ranxi and Bing Li to the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range so she could attempt to remove it, while Chen Yebai worried about the risks of their departure.

• Lu Zhihui told Ranxi that his abnormal condition might be connected to Han Qingwen, and Ranxi explained why she thought Han Qingwen was unlikely to have planted an Evil Seed in him.
• Lu Zhihui asked Ranxi to examine him, and she found no problem in his meridians but saw a wisp of black qi on his Demon Core.
• Ranxi offered to try to remove the black qi, warning Lu Zhihui that the treatment could be painful and might fail.
• Lu Zhihui brought Ranxi and Bing Li to the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range, and Bing Li agreed to guard them and keep the matter quiet.
• Chen Yebai received Lu Zhihui's message and worried that Ranxi had gone into danger, so he informed Hua Ye and Yuan Shuang.
• Hua Ye and Yuan Shuang speculated that Ranxi had found a way to resolve Lu Zhihui's problem, and You Zisang arrived in the main hall.

You Zisang reported the Medicine Immortal Sect’s investigation into evil cultivators to Chen Yebai, who ordered a thorough purge and continued monitoring Xia Yiwan. Yunxi used her Profound Thunder Purple Flame to burn the black qi from Lu Zhihui’s Demon Core, destroying the Evil Seed and leaving him recovering from the pain.

• You Zisang told Chen Yebai that disciples connected to Liang Xiao and Huo Chongshan were detained, confirmed possessions had been executed, and Liang Xiao’s pills and potions were impounded for inspection.
• Chen Yebai ordered You Zisang to purge the Medicine Immortal Sect and examine returning disciples, then learned that Xia Yiwan’s soul was recovering without signs of backlash.
• Lu Zhihui asked Yunxi how she would remove the black qi from his Demon Core, and Yunxi explained that her Profound Thunder Purple Flame could force the Evil Soul to emerge.
• Yunxi persuaded Lu Zhihui that the Evil Soul was influencing his temper, and he released his Demon Core for her to treat.
• Yunxi’s Ziyan burned the Demon Core until a strand of black qi emerged and vanished with a shrill cry, after which Lu Zhihui swallowed the core and returned to human form.

Yunxi learned that Sheng Xia, the cultivator who had planted the Evil Seed in Lu Zhihui, was connected to the Su family and to her mother, Feng Jiayun. After Bing Li sent word to the Su family, Su Miao returned home injured and tried to turn Feng Jiayun against Yunxi.

• Lu Zhihui told Yunxi how a female cultivator had caused him to lose control and revealed that she had a hibiscus scent and late Nascent Soul Severing cultivation.
• Yunxi concluded that the woman had planted the Evil Seed in Lu Zhihui and used the Beast Tide to aid an attempt to steal the Medicine Immortal Sect's Undying Tree.
• Bing Li recognized Lu Zhihui's portrait as Sheng Xia, the first Dao Companion of Su Jing, and Yunxi decided to visit the Su family.
• Yunxi told Bing Li that Feng Jiayun was her mother and explained how she had learned Feng Jiayun was with the Su family.
• Bing Li offered to make the Su family seek Yunxi out and sent them news of the matter after returning to the Medicine Immortal Sect.
• Su Miao returned to the Su family's ancestral grounds injured, complained about Yunxi to the Old Ancestor, and told Feng Jiayun that Yunxi had rejected her.

Feng Jiayun longed to see Yunxi but remained trapped in the Su family ancestral grounds while Zi Sheng’s failed breakthrough and Su Miao’s hostility kept her from learning the truth. After the Beast Tide ended, Yunxi helped uncover evil cultivators across the Spirit Realm, then prepared to receive visitors from the Su family at the Medicine Immortal Sect.

• Feng Jiayun doubted Su Miao’s account of Yunxi and mourned that she could neither leave the ancestral grounds nor get news of her daughter.
• Su Zisheng, whose failed breakthrough had been staged, heard Feng Jiayun and Su Miao speak and was troubled by his mother’s disappointment.
• Yunxi told Chen Yebai that Lu Zhihui had recovered, then received his guidance in Medicine Dao cultivation.
• After the Beast Tide was quelled, Yunxi supplied Song Ke, Zonghao, Zong Yu, Yunting, and the others with protective items before they left to gain experience.
• Chen Yebai inspected the Joyful Union Sect and uncovered suspicious cultivators, while Lili helped Yunxi expose Evil Souls and remove Evil Seeds from other cultivators.
• When the Su family sent people to meet Yunxi, she agreed to receive them at Welcoming Guest Peak, where Lili warned her that someone wanted to take Dian Dian.
