• The Mirror Spirit Tool revealed a battered clearing where two extraordinary Spirit Beasts faced each other, including a muscular beast covered in metallic scales.

Luan Yu and the children encountered a Blazing Fire Crow that could have suited several of them, but they declined because its cultivation was too low or its attributes were not ideal.
