Their conversation about their exceptional cultivation led to the revelation that Tang San’s martial soul was Blue Silver Grass rather than the Clear Sky Hammer.

As factions investigated the Clear Sky Sect’s recent growth, Tang San struggled with his auxiliary role and the attention surrounding his martial soul.

Qian Renxue discovered that the Clear Sky Sect’s Blue Silver Condensation Dew was made from the same source as Lucifer’s medicine and followed his clues to a startling conclusion about Ah Yin. She suspected Ah Yin was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor whose blood the sect used to make its potions.

• Qian Renxue saw Tang Hao leading a pale-faced Ah Yin out of the sect, then disguised herself as a disciple and joined the line for Blue Silver Condensation Dew.

• Qian Renxue further inferred that Tang Hao had killed Yu Long to conceal Ah Yin’s identity and that the sect’s access to her blood explained its protection of her and Tang Yue’s recovery.

Tang San confronted Tang Hao and Ah Yin about the Clear Sky Sect using Ah Yin's blood to make potions and learned that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor in human form.

Lord Lucifer strengthened Tang San’s mutated Clear Sky Hammer, which Tang San renamed the Fallen Soul Hammer, then bestowed him a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. Tang San absorbed the ring and discovered that the remaining divine power could also raise his Blue Silver Grass Spirit Ring’s age, leaving both first rings at six hundred years.

• At Lucifer’s urging, Tang San guided the Soul Power until the Blue Silver Grass’s first Spirit Ring also reached six hundred years.

• Tang San received a Soul Tool from Lucifer, who warned him to protect his life and vanished; Tang San returned home and cultivated through the night.
• Qian Renxue told Xiao Wu that Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, and Xiao Wu considered seeking her blood to revive her mother.
