• Yin Lingyu reassured Xiao Jin that Sound Valley had no real grudge against the Pill Tower and said his teacher had once had a past with one of its seniors.
• Yin Lingyu revealed that his teacher founded Sound Valley about nine hundred years ago and still traveled the continent each year searching for someone.

Xiao Jin agreed to investigate the identity of the Pill Tower senior whom Yin Lingyu’s teacher had remembered for nearly a thousand years. Yin Lingyu gave Xiao Jin a clue and a Sound Valley Token, and Xiao Jin promised to report back at Starfall Pavilion or visit Sound Valley.

• Xiao Jin wondered whether the Sound Valley Master’s long remembrance of a Pill Tower senior came from hatred or love, and Yin Lingyu said his teacher’s feelings seemed profound.
• Yin Lingyu explained that he had seen a portrait in his teacher’s study but could not access it, then offered a jade pendant said to have belonged to the senior.
• Xiao Jin learned that the pendant could hide Yin Lingyu from an Emperor Realm Soul’s perception, but told him to keep it and said he would investigate through his Pill Tower teacher.

• Han Yue revealed that Xiao Jin had been able to refine Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills when he first joined the Inner Academy, leaving Han Chi even more astonished.

Xiao Jin heard Han Chi’s account of the Hong Clan and the Wind Lightning North Pavilion’s growing pressure on the Han Clan, then judged their experts to be no great threat. He left Han Chi and Han Yue stunned by asking whether the Wind Lightning Pavilion had sent even a single Dou Zun.
