Su Yuan led the Tai Xu Anti-Chu Team to Fake Chu Jiang’s hideout, where Chu Lanxi warned that only one person could enter the cave’s trial at a time. Su Yuan went in and found himself in an illusion of Chu Lanxi’s childhood, just as an old Devil Lord offered the children a pill that could change their sex.

• Su Yuan gathered his companions and learned from Chu Lanxi where the Primordial Dao Branch was hidden.

• An old Devil Lord announced that his Yin Yang Reincarnation Pill could change a person's sex and invited the children to try it.
