• Han Yi read that the Blood Bone Spirit Flower matured through repeated transplants into different lands of extreme fiendish energy and that the flower he owned had three petals.

After finishing the remaining bandits, Han Yi gathered the spoils and fled before Liu Heng could return with reinforcements.
