Xiao Yan discovered that the dragon jade contained a faint trace of Tou She Ancient God's Emperor Flame, suggesting a possible connection between the Crimson Dragon Clan and the ancient Dou Di. He and Zi Yan decided to investigate the clan once they were stronger, while Xiao Yan planned to trade some of the fallen Crimson Dragon's remains for Spirit Medicine.

• Zi Yan asked Xiao Yan if he was all right after his aura settled, and he explained that he had sensed Emperor Flame inside the dragon jade.

• Shang Jun said the Crimson Dragon Clan had powerful old monsters who could threaten Yao Wan and Xiao Yan, but he knew of no publicly revealed alliances with other forces.

An Earth Supreme stole the Crimson Dragon Eye after killing the auctioneer and escaping Shang Continent’s restrictions. Shang Jun stopped Old Bei from pursuing him and said he had his own way to deal with the thief, though he lamented that the stolen treasure was the real problem.

Two Earth Supreme alchemists arrived on behalf of the Pill God Clan and invited them to the Pill God Ceremony, whose champion would receive a sacred object for cultivating Spirit Medicine.

Their departure drew attention from the Shang Continent, where people speculated about the Flame Region’s rising fame and the reason for its visit.
