Arc 171The Hermitage Dispute
Lin Bai discovered hidden stores of Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Milk and the Sun Moon Divine Flower, then resisted the Heng Province Alliance’s attempts to seize them. Alliance Leader Zhang secured compensation for the attacks, but warned Lin Bai that the Heng Province Alliance would keep pursuing the treasures.
- Lin Bai returned to the Eternal Devil Sect, learned of the ten-year peace between Xuan and Lian Provinces, and agreed to address the sect’s internal troubles while concealing his Supreme Avatar and Heaven Swallowing Dao Fruit.
- Lin Bai found a pool of Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Milk beneath Moon Gazing Pond and a hidden valley containing the Sun Moon Divine Flower, then arranged with Qin Yuyan to refine cultivation, healing, and body-tempering pills.
- Li Mojun explained that the Heng Province Alliance was preparing to challenge Lin Bai, while Vice-Alliance Leader Wu arranged for Su Yue to pressure him into surrendering the treasures.
- Su Yue demanded the treasures on behalf of the Heng Province Alliance, but Lin Bai refused and warned the Lian Province Alliance against further interference at Sword Hiding Hermitage.
- Lin Bai trapped groups of Lian Province Alliance martial artists in the Fire Domain after they attacked his hermitage, and Alliance Leader Zhang came to negotiate their release.
- Alliance Leader Zhang took Lin Bai to the Heng Province Alliance and demanded compensation from Vice-Alliance Leader Wu for its interference, while Lin Bai initially asked for ten Dao Divine Weapons and a hundred Celestial Spirit Stones.
- The Heng Province Alliance settled by providing ten Dao Divine Weapons and ten Celestial Spirit Stones, and Zhang warned Lin Bai that it would continue pursuing the treasures.
- Lin Bai returned to cultivation and reading, while Vice-Alliance Leader Wu warned the Heng Province guardians not to retaliate because Zhang was the Eternal Devil Sect’s strongest Dao God.
