• The Abyssal Water Crocodile Emperor told Xiao Ling that purple flames marked the Purple Flame Wind Winged Snake's territory, and Xiao Ling gave it Sixth-grade Pills in thanks.

• Xiao Ling reviewed the Spirit Nurturing Cushion’s information and learned it could nourish spirits and help cultivators fight opponents above their level.

Xiao Ling used the Spirit Nurturing Cushion to combine Dou Qi and Soul Power into a new energy he named spirit energy, then examined and stored a Senzu Bean. After nearly a year in seclusion, he left the cultivation room and wondered how Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan had progressed.
