• Xue Tong attacked Xiao Yan with the Fire God Furnace, but Xiao Yan used a wisp of Heavenly Flame to extinguish its fire and seized Xue Tong when he tried to flee.
• Xue Tong threatened Xiao Yan with his Young Sect Master, an alchemist in the Wood Realm, so Xiao Yan gave him a Poison Pill and asked whether he could reach the Young Sect Master in time to get detoxified.

Cao Zi completed his pill first and withstood three bolts of Black God Lightning, leaving its quality praised as higher than the pill’s usual grade.

• Xiao Yan examined the Fire God Mountain Cauldron’s Spirit Arrays while spectators doubted his alchemy experience, and he had Xiao Yi Xian add all the medicinal ingredients at once.
• Xiao Yan slowly extracted the ingredients with the furnace’s weak Spiritual Energy Flame as Cao Zi finished his extraction first and prepared his Blood Spirit Liquid.
• Cao Zi poured Blood Spirit Liquid into his furnace, suppressed its fierce Spiritual Beast force with his alchemy furnace and Fire Tree Hundred Herbs Body, and drew energy from heaven and earth to form his pill.
• Cao Zi’s pill released medicinal fragrance across the area and drew a Black God Lightning cloud over Fire God Mountain.
• Cao Zi blocked three bolts of Black God Lightning, completing a Third Grade-quality pill that spectators said surpassed the Returning Spirit Venerable Pill’s usual Second Grade.
