When the firewood ran out, Yi Feng burned his supposedly inferior wood carvings, leaving Ye Neng and his daughter stunned by his extravagance.

• Ye Neng refused to explain their cultivation or say whether they had found Senior, angering the Four Great Sect Masters.

• Yi Feng grumbled that the valley was ordinary, recalled crushing a snake and cooking it with a mushroom, then resumed his journey.
• The four masters followed Yi Feng into the valley.

The Four Great Sect Masters discovered that Yi Feng had used an Emperor-level Shenyin Snake and Xueshen Mushrooms to make soup, then left the scraps behind. They followed him onward, but Jian Hengtian secretly returned and ate every leftover, discovering that it strengthened his cultivation and talent.

• The Four Great Sect Masters found the Shenyin Snake’s severed head and realized Yi Feng had killed the Emperor-level Demonic Beast.
