Lei Qi distributed pills and cultivation resources to prepare his clan and companions for the journey to the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. After deciphering an ancient map and absorbing an Eighth-Rank Pill, he reached Peak Seven-Revolution Dou Venerate and identified nine women who could accompany him.
