Qin Yue left his days of indulgence behind and gathered a group to investigate the Sunset Forest and the hidden Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, intending to have Ice Empress assess it without damaging the treasure. He criticized Tang San for keeping the place secret and set out with the group toward the diminished forest.

• Mu Jin began returning home each day instead of staying overnight at Shrek Academy, while Qin Yue resisted lingering in their affectionate refuge.
• Qin Yue gathered the group and prepared to investigate the Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
• Qin Yue chose Ice Empress as the expedition's main combatant, hoping she could overcome the Poisonous Miasma and study the well's properties without harming it.
• Qin Yue decided not to remove the Ice and Fire Dragon King Bones, reasoning that the well could continue producing Immortal Herbs and should be preserved.
• Qin Yue condemned Tang San for concealing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and arranging a series of barriers that made access dependent on a Tang Sect disciple and the Clear Sky Sect's key.

Qin Yue assembled a seven-person team to travel by Soul Guidance Vehicle to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest, where he planned to find Immortal Herbs and powerful plant-type Soul Beasts to recruit. The journey also gave him a chance to relax with Qiu'er before he resumed his plans to expand his influence and eventually confront God King Tang.

• Qin Yue considered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's power to cultivate Immortal Herbs and plant-type Soul Beasts, and wondered whether the Blue Silver Emperor near Mu En was still alive.
• Qin Yue assembled a team of seven: Ice Empress, Ma Xiaotao, Qin Yan, Qiu'er, Zi Ji, and Nan Qiuqiu joined him on the expedition.
• Qin Yue planned to use Immortal Herbs to strengthen Ma Xiaotao and Qin Yan and to win over Nan Qiuqiu and her family in Dragon City.
• Qin Yue chose two RV-style Soul Guidance Vehicles and the official road so Qiu'er could enjoy the scenery on her first trip through the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Qin Yue decided to take a break from physical training and limit his daily Soul Power cultivation before the coming tournament and his eventual confrontation with God King Tang.

Qin Yue led the group into Sunset Forest and revealed that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well lay there, formed from the remains of two fallen Dragon Kings. His discovery stunned the group, especially Zi Ji, who realized the Ice Dragon King was the ancestor of her lineage and that its remaining power might greatly strengthen her.

• Qin Yue's group reached Sunset Forest and found it unusually depleted of Soul Beasts despite its vast size.
• Qin Yue said Sunset Forest could become the continent's foremost Soul Beast habitat if it were claimed and properly managed.

• Zi Ji realized the Ice Dragon King was the ancestor of her Hell Demon Dragon lineage and considered absorbing the energy left in its bones.

Qin Yue’s group fought through ten-thousand-year poisonous miasma and found a vast field of Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers. Ice Empress froze the flowers and miasma instantly, then drew a strangely dull flower out of the ice and presented it to Qin Yue.

• Qin Yan and Ma Xiaotao used their Martial Souls and Soul Skills to clear a path through the poisonous miasma as Qin Yue led the group deeper into the forest.
• Qin Yue’s group advanced seven kilometers through the miasma, replenishing Soul Power with Milk Bottles, and reached a jade-green valley filled with Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers.

• Ice Empress froze the thousands of Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers and the poisonous miasma above the gorge in an instant.
• Ice Empress pulled a dull-colored flower from the ice and sent it before Qin Yue.

Qin Yue and his group descended into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well valley, where they encountered its extraordinary plants and a second Hundred-Thousand-Year plant Soul Beast. The chapter ended with Youyou asking the newcomers who they were and why they had entered the valley.

• The Ice Empress revealed that the Jade Phosphorus Nine Absolute Flower King had reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year Level, and Qin Yue decided to leave it aside while they explored.
• The Ice Empress checked the steep valley entrance, found only weaker deep-blue vines, and created an ice staircase for the group to descend.
• Qin Yue, Zi Ji, Qiu'er, and the others reached the valley below the poisonous miasma and saw its thriving plants and the two-colored Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

• Qin Yue identified a large pink flower as Aromatic Silk Beauty, and it introduced itself as Youyou before asking who the group were and why they had come.

As Aromatic Silk Beauty faced Qin Yue, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon began its Hundred-Thousand-Year breakthrough and triggered a Heavenly Tribulation.

• Qin Yue told Aromatic Silk Beauty that humans and Soul Beasts alike had the right to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but the Infernal Delicate Apricot arrived and demanded that the humans leave.

• The Earth Dragon Golden Melon broke through to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Level, drawing a Heavenly Tribulation that Aromatic Silk Beauty knew it would have to face.

Qin Yue and Qin Yan watched the Earth Dragon Golden Melon survive its Hundred-Thousand-Year Heavenly Tribulation, which also caused the Dragon Soul Fruit and Heavenly Spirit Fruit to mature. As the newly ascended Soul Beast rushed to Aromatic Silk Beauty’s aid, the Ice Empress froze it at Qin Yue’s signal.

• Qin Yue warned the Ice Empress not to interfere with the Earth Dragon Golden Melon’s Heavenly Tribulation.
• Qin Yue and Qin Yan discovered two rapidly growing plants and recognized them as the Dragon Soul Fruit and Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
• At the height of the tribulation, the two plants absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon’s Soul Power and tribulation power, producing a Dragon Soul Fruit and a Heavenly Spirit Fruit.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty asked Qin Yue to wait until the Earth Dragon Golden Melon’s aura stabilized, and Qin Yue agreed.
• When the Earth Dragon Golden Melon rushed toward Aromatic Silk Beauty, Qin Yue signaled the Ice Empress to freeze it in midair.

After they accepted, he revealed that he needed several of them to help his companions and that another friend needed Aromatic Silk Beauty to trigger Martial Soul Evolution.

• Qin Yue told Aromatic Silk Beauty that he wanted the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and offered to spare the Immortal Herbs if they pledged loyalty to him.

• Qin Yue told Aromatic Silk Beauty that another friend needed it to trigger Martial Soul Evolution.

Qin Yue gathered several Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, including an Aromatic Silk Beauty for a Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master and a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower for Ma Xiaotao. He also obtained Infernal Delicate Apricot's Blazing Glue for Qin Yan, while Earth Dragon Golden Melon brought out another herb of his kind.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty explained that he had awakened as a Soul Beast before the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was discovered and fled to avoid a conflict with a Title Douluo.

• Tang San learned that his avatar had been intercepted and killed near Douluo Planet by a powerful, unknown god.

• Wind God celebrated killing Tang San’s avatar and considered Qin Yue’s suggestion involving Fire God and Water God.

Qin Yue persuaded Youyou to lend him the Tang Sect Poison Manual after telling her that the Tang Sect had fallen and that its promised visitor would never come. He planned to copy the manual and pass it to Tang Ya, while considering Youyou as the most loyal person to oversee the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

• Qin Yue returned the Aromatic Silk Beauty Elixir to Youyou and told her that either of them could carry it for the family.

Qin Yue studied the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, choosing herbs for himself and planning to cultivate Thunder-type Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma for the Qin Clan. Ma Xiaotao finished absorbing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and underwent a fiery transformation, then asked Qin Yue to return her Storage Soul Tool.

• Qin Yue identified the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma as a herb he could transplant to the Thunder Cliff Mountain Range and cultivate into a Thunder-type variety for the Qin Clan.
• With Youyou's guidance, Qin Yue selected the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew for himself, while avoiding herbs that might compromise his Thunder Attribute purity.
• Ma Xiaotao's aura surged as she digested the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, so Qin Yue and the Ice Empress enclosed her in an Ice House while Qin Yan was also given shelter.
• After more than half an hour, Ma Xiaotao awoke as her transformed Fire Phoenix burned away black impurities from her body.
• Ma Xiaotao asked Qin Yue to return her Storage Soul Tool after he had examined her transformation.
