• Ye Lin learned that he still owed 2.86 million Survival Points and agreed to exchange an item to cover the debt.
• Ye Lin returned to the exchange counter and handed the man in black a jade box for appraisal.

• Ye Lin explained that the pill could guarantee its user a state of enlightenment and that its ancient formula had been destroyed under pressure from the myriad races.

• Ye Lin told Taichu he wanted to retrieve someone from the Black Sea and said the reward would interest him.
• Ye Lin revealed that the person he wanted to retrieve was himself, meaning the clone he had secretly refined.

• Taichu and Ye Lin appeared on an island before the Black Sea gate, where two black-robed Spirit Transformation guards bowed to Taichu.
• One guard cautiously asked Taichu why he had come to the Black Sea.

• Shi Xiujie introduced himself to Ye Lin before entering the Holy Treasure Pavilion.
• Xiao Lan apologized for failing to warn Ye Lin, but he reassured her and went inside.
• Ma Ping'an welcomed Ye Lin and offered to help him find a treasure.
• After recognizing Ye Lin as a wealthy auction guest, Ma Ping'an led him and Xiao Lan to a private chamber.
• Ma Ping'an showed them the chamber’s treasures and brought them to a talisman on a wooden table.

Ye Lin shopped at Ma Ping'an's stall, buying several powerful treasures and body-tempering items with Survival Points. He then stopped in front of a statue, leaving Ma Ping'an to explain it.

• Ye Lin handed Ma Ping'an his Black Card to pay for the purchases.

• Ye Lin handed Xiao Lan the Black Card and told her she was free to stop following him.
• Xiao Lan stayed in the Black Sea and quietly thanked Ye Lin as others rushed out to ambush him.
• Ye Lin emerged and joined his main body and Taichu outside the Black Sea.
• Ye Lin’s clone returned the Spatial Ring to him and then withdrew into his body.
• Taichu marveled that he could not distinguish Ye Lin’s clone from the original and was shocked by its intelligence and power.
