Ye Tian revived Little Cai by merging her soul with a reforged body and supplying her with Life Power. Little Cai crossed her Heavenly Tribulation and reached Two-star Dou Venerate, after which Ye Tian organized the group to refine pills and gave Xiao Yan the Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill ingredients.

• Ye Tian explained that Life Power and the Eternal Treasure Origin Returning Talisman could revive Little Cai without a Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melding Pill, then instructed her to use the Yin Yang Two Instruments Talisman to merge with her body.
