Ye Lin confronted Gu Zhan Tian over the Battle Arena rules and demonstrated his strength before leaving with Liu Yun and Zhuge Yunyu. They arrived at the trading area to browse its stalls and merchants.

• Liu Yun brought Ye Lin and Zhuge Yunyu to the trading area and explained the difference between its treasure stalls and merchant buildings.

• The scarred young man said he would give Ye Lin the bottle if Ye Lin helped him kill Langtao Tian, a peak Heavenly Immortal bounty hunter.

Ye Lin agreed to help a ruined young man lure Langtao Tian, a peak Heavenly Immortal, to Starry Tower in exchange for the Heaven Source Bottle.

• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar explained that the bottle produced a drop of liquid every thousand years that could purify bloodlines and awaken ancient ones.
• Ye Lin worried the bottle would be useless to him because he belonged to the Human Race.
