Bai Ge refined the Innate Wind Lightning Pearl into his Little Universe, greatly strengthening it and raising his cultivation to the peak of seven-star Dou Zong before he returned with Qian Renxue and Little Fairy Doctor.

• Bai Ge, Qian Renxue, the Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan, and Xun Er visited a Jialie Family marketplace and found mercenaries crowding in to buy Spring Return Powder.

• The woman declared that she would take the Violet Spirit Crystal by force and summoned a towering cyan tornado filled with lightning and thunder.

Bai Ge brought Xiao Yan to watch Yun Yun battle the Amethyst Winged Lion King so Xiao Yan could obtain its violet fire and strengthen his Sun True Fire. After fighting through the afternoon, Yun Yun still sought the Violet Spirit Crystal, and the Lion King warned that its patience was nearly gone.

• The Amethyst Winged Lion King met Yun Yun's tornado with a pillar of purple flame, and the two attacks canceled each other out.
• Yun Yun attacked the Lion King with her sword, but its purple crystal armor shrugged off her strikes; it then broke her wind shield with a powerful claw.
