Bibi Dong staged an emotional rescue of Tang Yuehua, using a precious Ten Thousand Year Dragon Blood Ginseng while Yue Guan treated her. After Yue Guan declared the treatment complete, Bibi Dong confronted the Clear Sky Sect, and Tang Ming tried to exploit the crisis to undermine Tang Wei and claim Tang Yuehua’s treasure.

After returning from the Clear Sky Sect, Bibi Dong learned that Gui Mei had copied its inheritances, including a book on formations, and planned to establish a research institute funded partly by selling household Soul Tools. She then asked Golden Crocodile Douluo to support her proposal to stop Spirit Hall’s monthly payments to unaffiliated soul masters.

• Bibi Dong asked Golden Crocodile Douluo for his support, then proposed ending Spirit Hall’s monthly payments to soul masters outside the organization.

Yu Luomian considered how to protect Liu Erlong, while she fell for Yu Xiaogang and joined him and Flender in forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that influenced their emotions and judgment. Bibi Dong learned what had happened and decided to complicate their relationships while turning her attention back to Qian Xunji.

• Yu Luomian praised Luo Ying's ideas and decided to watch over Liu Erlong by taking an honorary teaching position at Thunder Academy when she was older.

• Bibi Dong decided to make the trio's relationships more complicated and arranged to investigate vicious or nearly Fallen Spirit Masters.
• Bibi Dong left those plans in motion and focused on her possessive teacher, Qian Xunji.
