• Han Feng fed the pill to the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and used Sea Heart Flame to activate its medicinal power, restoring the beast’s vitality.

After treating the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast, Han Feng discovered that the Sea Heart Flame could command it and chose three treasures from Jia Ma's imperial treasury. Back at the Mittel Family, he melted a mysterious amber ore to reveal a golden page whose purpose he could not identify.

• Han Feng used the Sea Heart Flame to make the Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast perform tricks, then left with Jia Xing Tian for the imperial treasury.

Han Feng defeated the demonized Six-Armed Ape, claimed the Seven-Star Pan Peach, and awakened the Seven-Star Body, bringing him close to the Dou Zong threshold. Back with Cai'er and Medusa, he discovered that absorbing Star Power caused the Golden Page to reveal parts of a Star Map, though most of it remained hidden.

• The first round tested contestants' ability to identify suitable medicinal ingredients and extract their liquid essence, eliminating more than a dozen alchemists from Jia Nan Academy.
