• Ya Fei questioned Xiao Han about his identity and connection to Pill King Gu He, but he kept his identity hidden.

• Xiao Han proposed that Ya Fei refuse to let someone sell anything through her establishment.
• Xiao Han placed red and blue potions on the table, called them Water of Life and Dou Qi Water, and explained that they healed injuries and restored Dou Qi.

• After Xiao Han left, Gu Ni advised Ya Fei not to investigate or offend the unknown alchemist, and Ya Fei wondered if the partnership could help her return soon.

Xiao Han joined Little Fairy Doctor and a large mercenary party in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, where signs of the nearby Poison Master's Cave emerged amid encounters with magical beasts. After witnessing a Dou Wang battle the White Winged Ice Serpent King, the party saw animals fleeing in one direction and braced for danger.

• Xiao Han noticed the party's route might bring him near the cave after five Crimson Ice Serpents attacked the mercenaries, and Little Fairy Doctor treated the wounded.
• Little Fairy Doctor encouraged the party as they continued toward the herb-gathering area despite more magical beast attacks.
• Xiao Han climbed a tree and watched a Yunlan Sect Dou Wang fight the White Winged Ice Serpent King before flying away.
