• Lin Dong accepted twenty thousand Pure Yuan Pills from Di Teng and returned the Green Origin Spear, and Di Teng led his group away rather than risk a fight.
• Lin Dong overheard Di Teng and Di Yun discussing their plan to capture the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, and Little Sable explained that its Thunder Source contained great energy.
• Lin Dong returned to Lin Mu and told him about the beast, but Lin Mu said he wanted to subdue it instead of taking its Thunder Source.
• Little Sable warned that Demonic Beasts were difficult to tame, so Lin Mu planned to save the beast from the Di Family and force it to submit if necessary.
