Xia Qing warned Jiang Ping An that the Human Emperor Heart Sutra’s Acupoints Chapter would cripple him and make him heavier, but Jiang realized its effects suited his cultivation and used it to increase his energy storage. After the Flying Boat entered Demon Race territory and its passengers killed an attacking group of Heaven Swallowing Crocodiles, Lei Shiqing announced their mission in Triangle Bull Race territory as Jiang secretly dropped a beast-storage bag from the boat.

• Xia Qing warned Jiang Ping An that the Acupoints Chapter could destroy his meridians and increase his weight, while Jiang recognized that both effects could benefit him.
