• Mu Yuan released Tang San and explained that he had obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from Dugu Bo through a fair trade.

Mu Yuan traded a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone to Dugu Bo for medicinal herbs, and Tang San helped process them while secretly trying to steal an immortal herb. After Dugu Bo absorbed the soul bone, Mu Yuan returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where Xiao Wu welcomed him and Ning Rongrong watched from a distance with a handmade scarf.
