After Yan Lingxi returned to sleep, Pei Yueshen appeared, and Bai Yu teased her about comparing her cultivation progress to Li Shuyu before suggesting her answers were about to reveal themselves.

• Bai Yu contacted Yan Lingxi and asked whether his Good Corpse could produce Primordial Purple Qi that had turned black.
