Lin Hai explained that his rare Immortal Herbs might help Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun, then avoided meeting Ning Fengzhi as he prepared to recruit the sect master later. He visited Ah Rou and invited her to move into his residence near the academy, where she could keep company with a memory-lost Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor.

• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong realized Lin Hai's Elixir Pill might break the Nine Heart Begonia's curse and decided to visit the academy.

His theory about the origins of her Fire Dragon martial spirit left her questioning Yu Xiaogang, and Lin Hai played the Flowing Light Qin to comfort her as their time together ended.

• Lin Hai sparred with Liu Erlong for two hours, controlling the fight without using soul skills and stopping when her Soul Power ran low.
• Lin Hai rested beside Liu Erlong and asked her about the Golden Iron Triangle, prompting her to recount how she met Yu Xiaogang and the third member and how they formed their three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
