• Yunxi fought Mo Jiu while the Cold Frost Profound Ice Needle froze and shattered his Meridians, then used Hei Yao and the Nine Nether Underworld Dragon Umbrella to overwhelm him.
• Mo Jiu realized Yunxi was stronger than a late Void Refining stage cultivator and, weakened and injured, offered her the Luck-Turning Bead in exchange for his life.
• Yunxi swore a Heavenly Dao oath to let Mo Jiu leave if he handed over the bead, but recognized that the pale-gold crystal he gave her was only half of it.

• Yunxi found her Enhancement Potion among Liu Botang's belongings and continued breaking his Storage Rings as he begged her to stop.

• 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 learned that the Medicine Immortal Sect was seeking an explanation from the Haoran Sect and decided to visit the sect herself.

• 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.

• 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.

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 prepared to break through before returning with him to Ascending Cloud Tower in five days, and the Wood Spirit Pearl began fusing with her Seven-Star Deadly Staff.

• Han Qingwen returned with Xia Yiwan, and Yunxi gave her a Storage Bracelet before Yun Po took her hand and prepared to leave with her.

• Zhuge Muyu questioned the Tower Master about sending Xia Yiwan, and the Tower Master said she had accepted the risks of abandoning the body if anything went wrong.
• After finding no vacant courtyards in Songran City, Yun Po went with Yunxi and Xia Yiwan to Yunxi’s courtyard, where Xia Yiwan collapsed into sleep.
