As the Medicine Clan’s Medicine Canon began, Old Yao prepared to return to his clan with Bai Ge and Xiao Yan, while the Tianfu Alliance stayed behind to monitor the Soul Hall.

The Medicine Canon’s opening contests ended, and Yao Dan summoned five leading alchemists to compete for the title of the continent’s number one alchemist. Xiao Yan and Bai Ge joined Hun Xuzi, Ten Thousand Fires Elder, and Old Man Shen Nong in the field, where Hun Xuzi revealed the Void Swallowing Flame as the contest began.

As the four others attempted Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills, Bai Ge stirred the natural energy across the Central Plains and announced he would refine a Ninth Grade Golden Core, leaving Yao Dan doubtful that anyone could succeed.

• Xiao Yan revealed Little Yi, a Heavenly Flame spirit, while Hun Xuzi threatened to reclaim the Purification Lotus Demon Fire and the other Heavenly Flames.

• Hun Xuzi, Ten Thousand Fires Elder, and Old Man Shen Nong began drawing in the power of heaven and earth to refine Ninth Grade Mysterious Pills.
• Bai Ge stirred the natural energy of the Central Plains with his soul power and declared that he would refine a Ninth Grade Golden Core.

As the five alchemists exhausted the energy around Medicine Mountain, Bai Ge alone continued refining while Hun Xuzi tried to steal energy from his rivals. Little Yi stole Hun Xuzi’s unfinished Pill Embryo, provoking his fury and setting up a confrontation with Old Man Shen Nong.

• For three days, the five alchemists drew energy from the land until Medicine Mountain’s reserves were nearly depleted.
• When Xiao Yan, Yao Wanhuo, and Old Man Shen Nong could no longer complete their Pill Embryos, Hun Xuzi used the Void Swallowing Flame to siphon energy from their cauldrons.
• Xiao Yan’s Little Yi purified Hun Xuzi’s subsidiary flame above Xiao Yan’s cauldron, allowing Xiao Yan to absorb its energy.

• Hun Xuzi’s Fire Dragon swallowed Old Man Shen Nong’s streams of Dou Qi as Hun Xuzi threatened him.

Xiao Yan and Bai Ge used the gathered embryonic pills to refine a Ninth Grade Golden Core, while Old Man Shen Nong and Ten Thousand Fires Elder helped keep Hun Xuzi at bay. After the Golden Core was born and Old Yao was permitted to reclaim the Medicine Clan’s Clan Monument, Hun Xuzi demanded that Yao Dan lend him the clan’s Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade.

• Ten Thousand Fires Elder stopped Hun Xuzi from attacking Old Man Shen Nong, and Xiao Yan fed Hun Xuzi’s embryonic pill to Little Yi for its energy.

• Yao Dan summoned the Medicine Emperor’s remnant soul, which briefly blocked Void Swallowing Flame’s attacks with an ancient Medicine Cauldron.

• The Medicine Emperor’s remnant soul entered Void Swallowing Flame and shattered, after which the Medicine Clan’s protective formation collapsed.
• Yao Dan called on the Medicine Clan to preserve their bloodline, and the elders and younger members launched a desperate attack on Void Swallowing Flame.

Bai Ge shattered Void Swallowing Flame’s blockade over the Medicine World and wiped out the Devouring Spirit Clan, but the Hun Clan’s reinforcements arrived as he and Xiao Yan ran low on strength. Xiao Yan’s nine-flame lotus badly wounded Hun Sha and injured Hun Jing and Hun Yan, leaving Yao Dan and Yao Chen to hold off the remaining enemies while Bai Ge recovered.

• Void Swallowing Flame released the Devouring Spirit Clan, whose creatures attacked the Medicine Clan as Yao Dan recognized them and accused the Hun Clan of using them to devour Dou Di bloodlines.

• Xiao Yan exhausted his strength after the attack, while Bai Ge continued recovering and Yao Dan and Yao Chen faced the remaining Soul Clan experts.

After the Hun Clan seized the Medicine Clan Ancient Jade, Xiao Yan and his companions went to the Ancient Clan to report the attack. Gu Yuan revealed the Devouring Spirit Clan’s history and suspected the Hun Clan had used its devouring power to hide its movements and prey on other clans.

• Xiao Yan arrived with Xun Er, and Lei Dong recognized him as the man who had defeated Soul Extinguisher.
• After Thunder Clan members belittled Xiao Yan and Xun Er, Xiao Yan challenged them and offered to face all ten at once.
• Lei Dong agreed to Xiao Yan’s challenge, while Bai Ge questioned how the Thunder Clan’s Half-Saint and nine Dou Zuns expected to fight a Six-Star Dou Sheng.

Xiao Yan effortlessly defeated Lei Yun’s group and Lei Dong, but Bai Ge then exposed the hidden presence of Soul Emperor. Soul Emperor appeared with Void Swallowing Flame and three Demon Saints, bringing the Ancient Clan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin to high alert as he faced Gu Yuan.

• Soul Emperor emerged from a vortex with Void Swallowing Flame and three Demon Saints, then greeted Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin as Gu Yuan warned him he did not belong there.

The Hun Clan confronted the Ancient Clan while Gu Yang stole the Ancient Clan’s Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Ancestral Hall. As the clans’ strongest fighters clashed, Xiao Yan joined the search for Gu Yang by scanning the mountain range with his Soul Power.
