The Ye Family and its allies began clearing Jade Dragon Valley, with the Ye Family taking the river route and using its many spirit beasts to locate resources.

• Xu Wenchang assigned the families their routes, and Ye Xingliu agreed that the Ye Family would follow the river upstream.

• Ye Jingcheng approached the eggs and saw five Treasure Book pages illuminate, with the final egg showing the potential to transform into a flood dragon.

Ye Jingcheng collected two spirit eggs and Jade Dragon Grass before the Ye Family's Turtle Ancestor whisked them away and hurried out of Jade Dragon Pool. Meanwhile, the Jade Scale Snakes fled toward the Left Valley Entrance, prompting the Taiyi Sect and Mo Family cultivators to pursue them.

• Ye Jingcheng took the largest and smallest spirit eggs from the cave, and Ye Jingyu brought over Jade Dragon Grass in jade boxes.
• Ye Haiyi summoned the Ye Family's Turtle Ancestor, which stored the eggs and herbs in its shell before the group rushed downstream.

After the Ye Family joined the fight and more cultivators arrived, Luo Yuan Shangren struck down one of the Purple Mansion Monster Beasts, shifting the battle decisively in the cultivators’ favor.

• Xu Wenchang and the others reached the battlefield and found Li Muran dead, Li Muhe fighting two Second Order snakes, and Qian He Shangren under attack.

• Luo Yuan Shangren arrived and killed the Jade Scale Snake Great Demon with a sword strike, leaving two Purple Mansion Shangren to face the remaining Purple Mansion Monster Beast.

After the Great Demons were slain, Ye Xingliu presented evidence that the Li Family had caused the snake tide and challenged its accusation against the Ye Family.

• The cultivators arrived at Jade Dragon Pool, where Ye Jingcheng saw that the Jade Dragon Grass and other valuable items beneath the water had already been collected.
• The family heads and Foundation Building Cultivators entered a concealed cave, while Ye Xingliu collected the cultivators’ Storage Bags and proof of shattered soul slips.
• After the sect took nearly thirty percent, Ye Jingcheng found his Spirit Snake materials and Red Joint Fish untouched, along with an eighty-year-old Earth Cloud Ganoderma.
• Ye Haiyi told Ye Jingcheng to save family contribution points, prompting Ye Jingcheng to hope he could exchange them for a Spirit Beast egg.
• The Taiyi Sect steward announced that Rogue Cultivators could register as miners, the Red Joint Fish would go to the Mo Family, Xu Family, and Ye Family, and cultivators could continue exploring their assigned areas.

The Ye Family sold its Red Joint Fish to the Mo Family while helping guard Jade Dragon Valley and exploring the newly formed market. Ye Jingcheng spotted a Green Root Fruit for the Golden Scale Beast’s advancement, but the chapter ended before he could buy it.

• Ye Jingli, Ye Jingyu, Ye Jingyong, and Ye Jingcheng visited the bustling temporary market and found a Green Root Fruit on a stall.

Meanwhile, Qian He Shangren and Luo Yuan Shangren investigated who had reached Jade Dragon Pool before them and decided to keep watching the other families.

• Ye Jingcheng bargained with a veiled cultivator for a Green Root Fruit until Li Xiangcai interrupted and offered more Spirit Stones.
• The seller refused Li Xiangcai’s threat and sold the fruit to Ye Jingcheng for two hundred and twenty Spirit Stones.
• The seller secretly asked Ye Jingcheng to let him follow the Ye Family’s group after they left, and Ye Jingcheng said he would consult the clan elders.

• Qian He Shangren and Luo Yuan Shangren discussed who had reached Jade Dragon Pool before them and ordered continued observation of the Ye, Xu, Mo, and Li Families.

After returning to Lingyun Peak, Ye Jingcheng settled in with his Spirit Beasts and trained alongside them, noting the Crimson Flame Fox’s new two-tailed abilities and the Golden Scale Beast’s growing strength.
