Summary: Technological Civilization? Still Unable to Cultivate Techniques?

• The beggar selection: Zhang Wei (the young master) enters the room housing the beggars and asks who among them is "unusual." Each beggar competes with absurd claims (missing limbs, festering wounds, leg-hugging skills, swimming/fighting fish). A child shocks everyone by loudly declaring "I can eat shit!" Zhang Wei dismisses them all and inexplicably selects An Changhai, who protests he cannot eat shit.
• The underground laboratory: Zhang Wei leads An Changhai through a courtyard with a hidden underground passage decorated with metal plating—a modern, low-end laboratory. An AI called A-Yun performs a physical examination on An Changhai.

• Mo Tianxing reads the Qi Refining Formula's results: only 4 sect members survive, plus the Nine Tribulations protector elder. He erects a stone monument engraved with the formula and decides to return home.
• Gu Yuan reflects that the "subsidy phase" of the ancient treasure is over — now it's time to "reap the harvest." He leaves the Qi Refining Formula in place.

• Gu Yuan enters a mysterious, empty void space. Layers of spiritual laws attempt to make him forget his purpose. He shatters an illusion (a modern cityscape) and reaches the deepest point.
• There, he finds a small bead — an ancient treasure fused with the world's Heavenly Dao, possessing spiritual and devouring laws and a weak consciousness. Gu Yuan recognizes it as a decoy.
