• Xu Lanqing and the Ice Empress reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where tighter security greeted them.
• Ning Chengye told Xu Lanqing that the Heavenly Soul Royal Family had demanded the sect join the war against the Sun Moon Empire.
• Ning Chengye explained that Du Busi had proposed setting aside the Body Sect's feud with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Ning Chengye had refused because the sect already served Xu Lanqing.
• Ning Chengye said the royal family threatened to send an army led by Du Busi if the sect did not agree before dawn.
• Xu Lanqing considered the situation and ordered Ning Chengye to agree.

Xu Lanqing persuaded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to verbally agree to cooperate with the Body Sect while allowing its members to maintain their usual hostility. He then sold Ning Chengye a large stock of advanced Sun Moon Empire Soul Tools, leaving the sect leader eager to secure them and keep them hidden.

• Xu Lanqing told Ning Tian and the others to agree to cooperate with the Body Sect without restraining their people, and Ning Chengye supported the plan.
• Xu Lanqing placed more than a dozen Storage Rings of advanced Soul Tools on the table, and Ning Chengye discovered they could equip five thousand Soul Masters.

• Xu Lanqing said the Soul Tools were for sale, and Ning Chengye agreed to pay fifty percent above market price, totaling two billion four hundred million Gold Soul Coins.
• Xu Lanqing warned Ning Chengye not to use the Soul Tools yet, and Ning Chengye promised to keep them secret.

Xu Lanqing negotiated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s payment and reconsidered how to handle Du Busi, deciding the alliance made it more useful to keep him alive. As Du Busi arrived, Xu Lanqing stayed in the main hall with Ice Empress and Ning Tian, whose growing infatuation he attributed to his blood’s influence.

Ning Chengye secured an agreement on terms that preserved the sect’s independence, though Du Busi did not know Ning Chengye had already become Xu Lanqing’s man.
