• Lin Bai searched the marked area for ten days, found no entrance, and used his Soul Skill: Restriction Break to check for a spell formation.

• Fairy Miaoyu searched the shattered valley, found no useful spirit herbs, and concluded that Lin Bai had taken the Ginseng King.

Lin Bai searched the White Dragon Secret Realm for more treasures as its closing date drew near, while avoiding the growing violence among its martial artists. He watched a badly wounded Jiangning City martial artist leap from a cliff while Overlord Blade City disciples pursued him.
