The White Household fought to stop their advance, but Liu Yu and his allies reached the formation as he prepared to draw the talisman.

• The White Household’s elders, Bai Caihuang, and their spirit beasts resisted attacks from Liu Yu’s larger squad, while Bai Caihuang’s unusual ability to control two powerful beasts drew Liu Yu’s attention and made him decide she must be eliminated.

• Liu Yu swept around Phoenix Mountain, killing White Household cultivators without sparing those who begged for their lives.

• Liu Yu returned to Phoenix Mountain and watched the sunset, remaining still as the fighting below continued.
• A cultivator reported to Liu Yu that all but a few White Household cultivators on Phoenix Mountain had been slain.

After Phoenix Mountain fell, Liu Yu organized the occupation, assigned Wei Guangzheng to seize the White Household’s remaining properties, and searched Bai Lianhua’s cave abode for spoils. He found a second-tier superior-grade talisman-making legacy and a rare fire-attributed high-grade spirit stone, then began examining the rest of the loot.

• Jiang Qiushui reported that Liu Yu’s group had suffered ninety-one deaths, ten serious injuries, and thirty minor injuries, while the inventory of Phoenix Mountain’s resources was still underway.

• Liu Yu examined the storage bags of Bai Lianhua, Bai Caihuang, and two White Household elders, finding more than ten thousand spirit stones and a fire-attributed high-grade spirit stone.

Liu Yu sorted the White Household’s spoils, including a high-grade spirit stone and valuable artifacts, and calculated that the expedition had earned him resources worth tens of thousands of spirit stones. He then entered the White Household’s mountain herb garden, collected rare herbs for his Golden Core Condensation Pill, and left roughly half the garden intact for the sect.

• Liu Yu confirmed that Bai Lianhua’s spirit stone was high-grade, then sorted the seized artifacts, talismans, pills, cultivation methods, and other resources.
• Liu Yu chose the Flowing Light Sword for himself, the Lotus Blossom Pedestal for Jiang Qiushui, and the Cold Ice Sword for Leng Yuexin.
• Liu Yu estimated that his gains from taking down the White Household were worth at least seventy or eighty thousand spirit stones, excluding the value of several exceptional items.
• Liu Yu opened the White Household’s guarded second-tier Spirit Herb Garden and ordered the two disciples at its entrance to keep everyone out without his permission.
• Liu Yu found rare herbs, including several ingredients for the Golden Core Condensation Pill, collected them and other mature herbs, and stopped after clearing nearly half the garden.

Liu Yu looted the White Household’s spirit herb gardens on Phoenix Mountain, then cultivated and studied the Scarlet Origin Pill before meeting with the team’s Foundation Establishment cultivators. As they discussed pacifying the region after the White Household’s defeat, the Wei Household’s second elder urged them to eliminate the household’s surviving bloodline.

• Liu Yu harvested mature spirit herbs from the White Household’s gardens and collected varieties missing from the Immortal Mansion.

• The Wei Household’s second elder urged the gathered cultivators to eradicate the White Household’s bloodline so it could not rise again.

Liu Yu settled the dispute over the White Household’s surviving mortals by ordering their extermination, arguing that it would avenge expedition casualties and deter other Yan Kingdom factions from resisting. He assigned Leng Yuexin, Cui Liang, and Wei Guping to carry out the order, while Yan Kai’s objections went unanswered.

• Cui Liang, Wei Guping, and Leng Yuexin argued that the White Household’s mortal clansmen should be wiped out, while Yan Kai objected that the mortals were innocent and the massacre would violate the Cultivation World’s rules.
• Meng Wenxing warned that the sect might punish them for damaging its reputation, causing Cui Liang and Wei Guping to fall silent.
• Leng Yuexin urged Liu Yu to decide and volunteered to lead the extermination, hoping to use the mortals’ blood to advance her cultivation.

• Liu Yu rejected Yan Kai’s appeal and assigned Leng Yuexin, Cui Liang, and Wei Guping to lead the operation, promising to take responsibility and writing an official directive.

After securing Phoenix Mountain, Liu Yu refined Scarlet Origin Pills and reflected on how far his alchemy skills had advanced. His first batch yielded seven usable pills, leaving him on the threshold of becoming a second-tier alchemist.

• Liu Yu dismissed the cultivators after assigning their duties, while Yan Kai left troubled by the cruelty of the war and his inability to change it.
• Cultivators reacted to the White Household's fall with fear, grief, and anger as the region's balance of power shifted toward Liu Yu's group.
• Liu Yu entered the Immortal Mansion, harvested the mature herbs needed for Scarlet Origin Pills, and brought them to the alchemy chamber.
• Liu Yu refined his first batch of Scarlet Origin Pills, producing seven pills and five charred pieces.
• Liu Yu considered alchemy ranks and recognized that his mastery was approaching the requirements for a second-tier alchemist.

Liu Yu refined Scarlet Origin Pills and discovered that their cultivation benefits seemed limited by the purity of his Azure Yang Art. After Leng Yuexin returned from a brutal mission in an unstable state, Liu Yu warned her to restrain herself and set limits on casualties.

• Liu Yu refined twenty-seven Scarlet Origin Pills from ten portions of spirit herbs, achieving a success rate above thirty percent.
• Liu Yu swallowed a Scarlet Origin Pill and found that it improved his cultivation only slightly more than an Essence-Nourishing Pill, leading him to suspect his Azure Yang Art's exceptional purity was the cause.
• Liu Yu wondered whether the Azure Yang Art was a top-tier cultivation art and considered investigating its origins and missing portions.
• Liu Yu nurtured the Flowing Light Sword in Bai Lianhua's former Cave Abode, then received Leng Yuexin, Cui Liang, and Wei Guping after their mission near Phoenix Mountain.
• Liu Yu noticed Leng Yuexin's unstable aura and bloodshot eyes, dismissed Cui Liang and Wei Guping, and warned Leng Yuexin not to cause mass casualties among cultivators or mortals.
