• Dugu Bo appeared at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and challenged Ye Yuan'er and Su Wen for trespassing in his Medicine Garden.
• Ye Yuan'er revealed her Titled Douluo power and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, while Su Wen proposed that they take a few herbs and leave without exposing the valley.

• Su Wen asked Ye Yuan'er what age Spirit Beast he could absorb, and she cautiously recommended one under five thousand years old.
• Ah Yin searched through the Blue Silver Grass and found the Dark Demon Tiger, but it was ten thousand years old, so she led Su Wen and Ye Yuan'er to a Qingming Ghost Flower instead.

He discovered another Ghost Bride, named Red Mirror, whose mirror Martial Soul could copy Spirit Skills and create a defensive barrier.
