• 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.

• 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 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.

• Xiao Yu dismissed the possibility that the powerful masked man was An Yi, believing the missing Sixth-Stage Qi Disciple could not have become so powerful in a year.

An Yi accompanied Xiao Yu's group through the guarded passage and reached Jia Nan Academy's recruitment tent, where he confronted Rob over the preliminary test's obedience demand. Ruo Lin intervened to save Rob, who went outside to kneel, then politely asked An Yi who he was and why he had come.

Nalan Yanran asked Yun Yun to look for An Yi in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, suspecting he was the rumored White-Furred Beast. Meanwhile, An Yi survived a deadly ambush by a powerful mercenary team and killed its leader, but his narrow escape revealed how much he still depended on the Void-Stepping Technique.

• Nalan Yanran told Yun Yun that An Yi had left the Xiao Household and might be the white-haired person rumored to be slaughtering people in the mountains.

Days later, he encountered a powerful He Family hunting party searching for the white-haired Magic Beast he had supposedly been, and accepted their leader’s invitation to join them.

• An Yi escaped to a hidden cave, recovered his battle qi with a Third-Order Metal-Element Magic Core, and looted the bodies, gaining more than two million gold coins’ worth of spoils.
• Worried that the bounty would attract Dou Spirits or Dou Kings, An Yi decided to keep a low profile and used Ya Fei’s potion to dye his hair black.
• Several days later, An Yi encountered an elite party from the He Family of Blackrock City while pursuing a wounded Third-Order Magic Beast.
• An Yi learned that the He Family was searching for the white-haired humanoid Magic Beast who had killed the Snake Nest Mercenary Group’s captain, the He Family head’s son-in-law.
• The gray-robed Two-Star Dou Spirit invited An Yi to join the party, and An Yi eagerly accepted the offer of protection.
