After studying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s intelligence, Li Xuan found that Dugu Bo’s movements had no clear pattern, but learned that Dugu Bo would be occupied at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace around the Crown Prince Conferment Ceremony.

• Li Xuan used a Detoxification Pill and Filthy Flame to clear poison from his finger, then planned to enter the formation the next morning.

Li Xuan entered the poison mist on his way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, relying on Filthy Flame to burn away the toxins and strengthen his Soul Power. A giant snake attacked him, and after sulfur powder briefly kept it at bay, it launched another charge as Li Xuan continued through the mist.

While dissecting a giant snake, he found a Hui Bead and exchanged its power through the system for an escape-type treasure that would appear after the next mall update.
