• Shi Yunfeng urged Shi Yi to stay and cultivate, while a huge crocodile Ancient Descendant approached Stone Village and fled after sensing the charred willow tree.

• Shi Yi called for his grandfathers to take him home, received no answer, and concluded that Martial King Manor had abandoned him.
• Shi Yunfeng gave Shi Yi a strange bone fragment as compensation, and Shi Yi recognized it as a Runic Bone Fragment and saw the words Original True Understanding in his eyes.
