After Dian Dian detected an evil cultivator’s scent on the map of the Back Valley, Yunxi learned that cultivators were being lured there by reports of valuable butterfly eggs and suspected a deliberate trap.

• Yunxi bought a map of the valley’s outer areas from two young rogue cultivators, then purchased a more expensive Back Valley map from a girl.

• Yunxi reasoned that some cultivators were allowed to return with eggs to make the Back Valley’s dangers seem worthwhile, while Dian Dian suspected evil cultivators were behind the lure.

She fought the late Golden Core cultivator guarding the hideout, and as she raised the Seven-Star Deadly Staff for another blow, its Alkaid Star began to flicker.

• Yunxi forced Pan Yuan to cooperate by placing an Ice Needle in her Dantian, and Pan Yuan led her to Xue Ao in the Mountain Hollow.

• Yunxi raised the staff for another strike as blood from her hand reached its final star, the Alkaid Star, and made it flicker.

• A mortal entered the courtyard, screamed that Yunxi and Xia You were ghosts, and fainted.

Yunxi and Xia You recovered from their injuries and traveled toward a nearby town, where they took control of a bandit stronghold after discovering its chief cultivated evil arts.

• Yunxi purged Evil Qi from her Meridians, restored her strength with spirit stones, and reunited with Xia You at sunrise.

• Boss Shen agreed to return the pouches, then sent Yu Qingcheng’s pouch while claiming Liu Haotian’s needed repairs.

Yu Qingcheng and Liu Haotian recovered from their injuries while Boss Shen searched for them, and Yunxi and Xia You followed rumors to Qixia Pavilion. After discovering that Boss Shen had held the injured pair at Nurturing Jade Pavilion, Yunxi and Xia You made him lead them there.

• Yu Qingcheng used her Spiritual Qi to retrieve supplies from her Storage Pouch, and Liu Haotian helped her heal under a Concealment Formation.
• After Yu Qingcheng and Liu Haotian disappeared for five days, Boss Shen suspected their pouch was connected to their escape and summoned the Temple Master of Qianshan Temple.

• Yu Qingcheng and Liu Haotian reunited with Yunxi and Xia You, then discussed the bandit leader's evil cultivation technique and the possibility that evil cultivators were spreading it deliberately.

Yunxi suspected the Evil Cultivators had left cultivation methods in the Mortal Realm to turn resentment from their victims into nourishment, and the group agreed to investigate as they traveled. They chose to help County Magistrate Zhou deal with Imperial Censor Di Kangnian, whose interest in beauty became clear when the four arrived at his residence.

• Yunxi introduced Dian Dian to Liu Haotian, Yu Qingcheng, and Xia You, and they agreed to use its tracking ability to seek clues about Evil Cultivators.

• Yu Qingcheng, Yunxi, Xia You, and Liu Haotian stepped out of the sedan chairs, and Di Kangnian was captivated by their beauty, especially Liu Haotian.

Yunxi and her companions investigated Imperial Censor Di Kangnian and discovered that a demonic cultivator may have helped the Di Family prosper by directing them to move their ancestral tomb. They planned to inspect the tomb near Jinshan County the next day.

• Liu Haotian decided the group would inspect the Di Family's ancestral tomb the next day, while County Magistrate Zhou believed his position was safe and arranged to keep beautiful local women out of Di Kangnian's reach.

Yunxi and her companions discovered that the Di Family had stolen another lineage’s ancestral tomb and fate, then altered the graveyard’s fengshui. They found the displaced coffins in a swamp, where Liu Haotian realized the site was a corpse-nurturing ground, and Yunxi warned everyone to retreat.

• Liu Haotian identified the area as a Corpse Nurturing Ground, and Yunxi shouted for everyone to retreat as she struck with her Seven-Star Deadly Staff.

Yunxi was trapped in a Corpse Nurturing Ground that drained her Spiritual Qi, and she uncovered a self-aware red-robed White Zombie who begged her to kill her and Li Cangyuan. The formation still held Yunxi as she realized City Lord Li might be behind the corpse refinement.

• Yu Qingcheng, Liu Haotian, and Xia You escaped the red barrier and began attacking the formation's weak point while Yunxi fought from inside.
• Yunxi sent Dian Dian into her space, then used her Seven-Star Deadly Staff and Purple Jade Coiled Dragon Cauldron to break open a red coffin.
• A red-robed White Zombie rose from the coffin and repeatedly begged Yunxi to kill her.
• The zombie smashed her own coffin, dug up a black coffin, and helped Yunxi break it open.
• Yunxi found Li Cangyuan inside the black coffin, and the red-robed zombie warned that Yunxi could not survive unless she killed both of them.

Yunxi sought Ethereal Immortal’s advice after becoming trapped in an Extreme Yin Corpse Nurturing Ground and learned that heavenly lightning could destroy the Zombies. She forced a breakthrough to Golden Core to summon a tribulation, and the second, more powerful wave descended as she guarded the two White Zombies.

• Yunxi entered the Space and told Dian Dian that Li Cangyuan had become a White Zombie in the Corpse Nurturing Ground.
• Ethereal Immortal identified the formation and advised Yunxi to break through to Golden Core so her tribulation lightning could destroy the Zombies.
• Yunxi used the Immortal Spirit Grass to gather Spiritual Qi and prepare for her breakthrough.
• When Yunxi emerged from the Space, her tribulation cloud formed, and Liu Haotian, Yu Qingcheng, and Xia You retreated beyond its range.
• Liu Haotian began forcing his own breakthrough while Yu Qingcheng and Xia You stood guard.
• The first wave of lightning shattered the formation’s barrier and struck Yunxi, the red-robed female zombie, and Li Cangyuan; the second wave of purple-white lightning then descended.

Yunxi endured the Nine Heavens Profound Lightning in the Corpse Nurturing Ground, with Dian Dian helping her recover through their Contract Mark. As the lightning threatened to kill her, the Flower Diadem Immortal Artifact revealed the red-robed female zombie’s past as Bai Jinghan, and the chapter left her story unfolding.

• The second wave of Tribulation Lightning injured Yunxi and scorched Li Cangyuan, the red-robed female zombie, and the coffins underground, while Yu Qingcheng and Xia You stood guard.
• Dian Dian absorbed Spiritual Qi from the Immortal Spirit Grass and sent it through the Contract Mark, helping Yunxi regain consciousness and absorb energy from spirit stones.
• The Nine Heavens Profound Lightning entered Yunxi’s bones and destroyed hidden gray vapor left by the Golden Core evil cultivator.
• The third and later waves of Tribulation Lightning struck Yunxi; the White Jade Orchid Hairpin broke, and the Seven-Star Deadly Staff absorbed a bolt and lit its Yaoguang Star.
• The Flower Diadem Immortal Artifact protected Yunxi’s divine soul, showing her Bai Jinghan’s life: the Bai Family blamed her for its decline, and a Daoist priest offered to take her away to cultivate and pray for the family’s blessings.
