Medicine Elder tried to obtain it by offering alchemical products, but An Yi said they would not help Xiao Yi Xian because of her special constitution.

• Ya Fei asked whether the black-robed alchemist was Xiao Yan, but An Yi declined to explain.

• Medicine Elder warned that extracting blood essence could damage An Yi's foundation, but An Yi insisted he was willing to pay the cost and asked for help.
• An Yi gave Medicine Elder a drop of blood essence he had extracted the previous night, and Medicine Elder recoiled from its terrifying, disciplined killing aura.

• Medicine Elder revealed his Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and An Yi agreed to the favor after learning the flame would identify him in the future.
• Medicine Elder wrote a list of rare medicinal herbs for An Yi to gather before the treatment could begin.

• Medicine Elder warned Xiao Yan that absorbing An Yi's Geng Metal essence blood would destroy the wood attribute in his soul and damage his alchemist foundation, so Xiao Yan abandoned the idea.

An Yi gathered the rare ingredients needed to address Little Fairy’s Disaster Poison Body, and Medicine Elder refined a pill containing An Yi’s blood essence. Little Fairy swallowed it without hesitation, beginning a dangerous process that An Yi would have to guide himself.

• An Yi used his savings and Ya Fei’s support to collect all the medicinal ingredients for the pill.
• Medicine Elder led An Yi and Little Fairy to a cave behind a waterfall and refined An Yi’s blood essence with mild medicinal ingredients.
• Medicine Elder explained that his Heavenly Flame could not melt the blood essence, so the pill’s medicinal shell would only soften its impact and An Yi would have to guide Little Fairy’s absorption.
• An Yi offered Little Fairy the chance to back out, but she took the golden-red pill and swallowed it.
• Little Fairy clung to An Yi and said she would splash him with blood if she exploded.

An Yi guided Little Fairy through a painful transformation using his essence blood, temporarily bringing her Disaster Poison Body’s Poison Dou Qi under control.

• An Yi used his Gengjin Dou Qi to guide Little Fairy as his essence blood began transforming her body, while Medicine Elder explained the ordeal to Xiao Yan.

• An Yi warned Little Fairy that the transformation only suppressed the Disaster Poison Body temporarily and told her to stop cultivating if her Poison Dou Qi became unstable.

An Yi reunited with Xiao Xun'er in Wutan City, but her jealousy flared when she met Little Fairy and learned of her interest in him. Little Fairy escalated their rivalry by kissing An Yi and claiming they had shared a bed, leaving Xiao Xun'er on the verge of erupting.

• Xiao Xun'er accused An Yi of being a lecher after seeing him return with Little Fairy, and Little Fairy realized Xiao Xun'er had feelings for him.

• An Yi tried to explain that he and Little Fairy had only shared a bed to rest, but Little Fairy described their closeness and Xiao Xun'er crushed her teacup as her Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame stirred.

An Yi rejected Xiao Xun'er's jealousy because he believed they had no real relationship, then explained to Little Fairy why he had cut ties with the Xiao Household. Xiao Xun'er returned home heartbroken, and Ling Ying urged her to confess her feelings before An Yi became unattainable.

• An Yi told Xiao Xun'er that he had severed ties with the Xiao Household and asked her to keep his return secret.
• An Yi left the teahouse with Little Fairy, who questioned his relationship with Xiao Xun'er and the Xiao Household.

• Xiao Xun'er worried that An Yi would doubt her feelings, while Ling Ying warned that she might lose her chance if she kept silent.

An Yi explained to Xiao Xun'er that his childhood abandonment left him afraid to depend on a single person, so he pursued multiple women as protection against being left alone. The chapter ended before Xiao Xun'er responded to his confession.

• Xiao Xun'er summoned An Yi from his room and led him to the waterfall where they had played as children.

• An Yi told Xiao Xun'er that his parents' deaths and his lonely childhood had made him fear depending on anyone, so he kept several romantic attachments as a way to avoid losing everything.
