• Qian Daoliu told Qian Xunji that Yu Yuanzhen had advanced far too quickly to be explained by Secret Medicine alone and might have received a god's favor.
• Qian Daoliu remained uncertain because Yu Yuanzhen's Spirit Rings had not changed, despite his other signs of divine power.

• Yu Xiaogang regretted losing the chance to study and reproduce the secret skill with his Mental Power.
