• Lu Shu entered the ruin with Chen Zu'an and found himself on a vast sheet of ice in the Mirror World, where he glided using a waterproof mat and poles from his storage space.
• Lu Shu and Chen Zu'an found a spirit fruit tree and a struggling cultivator who claimed the fruit because he had discovered it first, so Lu Shu argued that discovering the cultivator first made him Lu Shu’s property.

• Lu Shu tricked Nojiri Kohei with a branch, revealed that he knew Nojiri was a spy, and killed him after knocking Chen Zu'an unconscious.
