• Su Bin rewarded Su Yu with a Cosmos Bag and thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones for killing Lin Xiu, and guessed that he had cultivated a Body Refining Technique.

• The Lin Family reduced its friction with the Su Family, and six months later the Su Family hired a first-tier Earth Master to find the foundation of a Spirit Vein.

• A bell rang through the Medicine Garden, and enraged Earth Rock Rats erupted from the ground and attacked Su Yu, who killed two with his fists.

• Lin Kui failed to break the Medicine Garden’s formation, threatened Su Chang, and led the Lin Family away without rescuing Lin Hai or Guo Chudong.
