• Shen Ranxi entered Tian Yuan's palace, admired its treasures, and cautiously accepted Moonlight Dew after Feifei explained its benefits.

Tian Yuan revealed that Shen Ranxi and Taixu were extraordinary, while Shen Ranxi and Feifei began developing a theory about Soul Cores as the key to their research.
