• Qian Renxue asked Lu Jing whether she would fail in her Heaven Dou mission, and he challenged her doubts rather than giving a direct answer.

• Qian Renxue accepted his answer, deciding she would write her own future, and left Lu Jing’s room.
• Lu Jing reflected on Qian Renxue’s likely fate and the difficulty of changing history, then heard another knock at the door.

• Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er entered Spirit City's crowded commercial streets and browsed the shops and stalls.
• After half an hour of wandering, Lu Jing noticed Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er negotiated the purchase of two rare pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber at a Spirit City general store. Wang Dong'er offered to pay with a card from ten thousand years in the future, leaving the shopkeeper baffled.

• Lu Jing led Wang Dong'er to Myriad Treasures Pavilion's medicinal herb counter and asked for the finest Whale Rubber.
• The shopkeeper showed them two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber and quoted thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins per piece.
• Lu Jing bargained the shopkeeper down to fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins for both pieces.
• Wang Dong'er handed the shopkeeper her Clear Sky Sect and Continental Union Bank card, and he stared at it in confusion.

Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er tried to buy two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Jelly, but the shopkeeper could not accept Wang Dong'er's gold card from ten thousand years in the future. They returned to Qian Renxue for money, and she lent them a Spirit Hall Purple Gold Card before teasing Lu Jing about buying the Whale Jelly for his girlfriend.

• The shopkeeper mistook Wang Dong'er's gold card for a fake or Soul Tool, so Lu Jing promised to return with recognized currency.

• Qian Renxue teased Lu Jing by asking whether he planned to use the Whale Jelly to nourish Wang Dong'er and make intimacy more convenient.

Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion with two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Whale Jelly after Qian Renxue teased them about their relationship. Back at Spirit Hall, Lu Jing gave one piece to Qian Renxue and explained that its true value was tempering the body and increasing a soul master’s capacity to absorb soul rings.

• Wang Dong'er objected to Qian Renxue’s teasing, and Lu Jing agreed that he and Wang Dong'er were only ordinary friends.
• Qian Renxue watched them leave and wondered whether Wang Dong'er’s dislike of Spirit Hall came from her future knowledge or her status.
• Lu Jing collected the two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Whale Jelly using Spirit Hall’s Purple Gold Card, and Wang Dong'er said she had eaten so much Whale Rubber as a child that she never wanted it again.
• After Wang Dong'er returned to her room, Lu Jing brought one jade box to Qian Renxue and told her the jelly could strengthen the body and raise the limit for absorbing soul rings.

Lu Jing convinced Qian Renxue that Whale Rubber could strengthen her body and raise her soul-ring absorption limit, so Qian Daoliu refined it for them. After Lu Jing explained the side effects of absorbing it, Qian Renxue fled to her room in embarrassment, while Qian Daoliu reflected on how the visitors from the future might change the continent.

• Qian Renxue accepted Lu Jing's explanation of Whale Rubber and took him to ask Qian Daoliu to refine it.
• Qian Daoliu purified the two pieces of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Jelly with his Soul Power, leaving amber-colored essence for Qian Renxue and Lu Jing.
• Lu Jing revealed that Wang Dong'er had refused her share because she had eaten Whale Rubber as a snack when she was young, allowing her second soul ring to reach a thousand years.
• Qian Renxue invited Lu Jing to absorb his share with her, but he explained that the process caused powerful desire and required privacy.
• Embarrassed, Qian Renxue hurried to her room to absorb her essence, and Lu Jing left with his share as Qian Daoliu contemplated their impact on the future.

Lu Jing absorbed the refined Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Whale Jelly and used the World-Annihilating Black Lotus to control its destructive energy as he tempered his body. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm awakened in his Sea of Consciousness and stayed quiet to avoid disrupting him, while the scene shifted to the Pope's Palace.

• Lu Jing swallowed the Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Whale Jelly and endured its intense taste before its energy erupted inside him.
• Lu Jing summoned the World-Annihilating Black Lotus and used its power to restrain and guide the Whale Rubber's yang energy through his body.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm awoke in Lu Jing's Sea of Consciousness and asked where they were and what had happened.

Bibi Dong learned that Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue had given two children money to buy ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber and wondered what Qian Daoliu was planning.

• Yue Guan told Bibi Dong that Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue had brought two children back and given them tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins for two blocks of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber.
• Bibi Dong dismissed Yue Guan and wondered what Qian Daoliu was trying to do as black light flickered in her eyes.
