• The dying Daluo Qilin sensed Lu Changsheng hiding and sealed the space around him, forcing him to reveal himself.
• The Qilin saw Lu Changsheng's Great Dao Merit and pleaded with him to cleanse the Qilin Egg's karmic sin and protect the child.
• The Qilin offered the Key to the Qilin Cliff Secret Treasury, its accumulated treasures, and the essence of its Daluo body in exchange for the child's safety.

• Lu Changsheng struck Lu Ping'an for rushing to go and warned him about the deadly Primordial Gale Layer and chaotic currents on the way to the Purple Heaven Palace.

Lu Changsheng convinced Lu Ping'an that the Purple Heaven Palace was too dangerous to visit, then saw an opportunity to raid the unguarded Qilin Cliff Secret Treasury while the Primordial Land's strongest cultivators were away. He insisted they prepare carefully before setting out and sent Lu Ping'an to train in concealing his aura while he began crafting preparations.

• Lu Changsheng warned Lu Ping'an that the journey to the Purple Heaven Palace would expose them to a deadly brawl among powerful cultivators, and Lu Ping'an agreed to stay home.
