After getting separated from Senior White, Song Shuhang waited on Lanxi Island and tried to tell Mom Song about the Cultivation World, but she mistook his concern for anxiety about a second baby.

• Song Shuhang opened the Nine Provinces Number One Group and tried to remember whether he had another suitable head in his Core World.

Song Shuhang searched for a substitute head to avoid having Pavilion Master Chu Two twist his off and found that Fairy Skylark’s immortal heads might work. Pavilion Master Chu Two gave him five days to prepare, but warned that Celestial Ones hunting golden cores might target him in the meantime.

• The burly man whose memories Puppet Fairy had erased earlier returned to the restaurant carrying a black case.

Song Shuhang appraised a black gemstone brought in by a burly man and discovered it was a nearly depleted Blood Demon Core that could become a precious Blood Demon King Core if recharged. He offered to buy it with gold, leaving the sale unresolved.

• Song Shuhang used the Ancestral Shaman's Blessing to take the girl away from the restaurant and into the air to face the tribulation.
