After Dugu Bo died, Qian Daoliu’s group found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs, while Yue Guan agreed to support Qian Renxue and Tai Yi in exchange for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. The God of Destruction revealed that the spring formed from the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Divine Spirit Bones and offered to help Tai Yi absorb their power.

• Tai Yi gave Qian Renxue an Immortal Herb and asked to remain at the spring to retrieve something; Qian Daoliu agreed to wait.
• Tai Yi dove into the spring to search for the Ice and Fire Dragon King's corpses, trusting the God of Destruction to protect him.

Tai Yi discovered the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ remains beneath the spring and, with God of Destruction’s help, began absorbing their Spirit Bones and a special Spirit Ring. Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Yue Guan waited above while Tai Yi continued absorbing the Divine Spirit Bones.

• Tai Yi found the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ skeletons and their red and blue Divine Spirit Bones beneath the spring.

As Qian Daoliu prepared to take him and Qian Renxue back to Spirit City for training, Tai Yi noticed the Immortal Herb seeds left behind and decided to collect them before they lost their vitality.

• Tai Yi finished absorbing two Divine Spirit Bones, draining the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of its special properties, and surfaced after four or five days.

• Tai Yi noticed the Immortal Herb seeds could lose their vitality in the changed spring and prepared to collect them for replanting elsewhere.

Tai Yi, Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu returned to Spirit City, where Yue Guan and Gui Mei revealed they had joined the Worship Hall faction. Qian Renxue stayed to cultivate, while Bibi Dong reacted angrily to her return and dismissed Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Hu Liena.

• Qian Renxue helped Tai Yi gather Immortal Herb seeds before Tai Yi stored the herbs, and Qian Daoliu carried them back to Spirit City.

• Xie Yue dragged Yan toward Spirit City's Martial Arts Arena to cultivate, despite Yan's complaint that they had agreed to rest.

Over eight years, Tai Yi and Qian Renxue grew stronger while Spirit Hall’s factions became increasingly divided, deepening Bibi Dong’s hatred of Qian Renxue. After Hu Liena and her companions tried to ambush Tai Yi and were badly injured, Qian Daoliu refused Bibi Dong’s demand to punish him, leaving the rivals to cultivate and wait for revenge.

• Tai Yi reached Soul Power level sixty-five and condensed a Soul Core, while Qian Renxue became a Soul Saint, condensed her own Soul Core, and began the Angel Nine Trials.
• A Soul-Hunting Squad captain loyal to the Angel lineage delayed Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan’s hunt for soul beasts, so Qian Daoliu gave them fruits from Immortal Herbs as compensation.

• Tai Yi defeated the three attackers and broke their arms and legs, though healing Soul Masters later saved them without lasting consequences.

• Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan stopped causing trouble for Tai Yi and Qian Renxue, but vowed to cultivate until they could take revenge.
