• A tremendous explosion shook the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and a powerful voice asked a human woman why she had disturbed its rest.

Xiao Lin left Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to approach the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose hidden Primordial Purple Qi Seed made it stronger than expected. As the two Dou Emperors began fighting, Yao Chen urged Xiao Yan to wait for them to weaken each other before attacking the lion and taking its beast flame.

• Xiao Lin entrusted the unconscious Qing Lin to Xiao Yi Xian and flew toward Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
• Yun Yun asked the Amethyst Winged Lion King for its Purple Spirit Crystal and offered three fifth-tier magic cores and cultivation techniques when it demanded a Seventh-grade Transformation Pill.
• The Amethyst Winged Lion King refused Yun Yun's offer and revealed its desire to refine the mysterious purple qi within its body.
• Yun Yun summoned a huge azure tornado, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King answered with a towering pillar of purple fire.
• Xiao Lin's assessment identified the lion's incomplete Primordial Purple Qi Seed, while Yao Chen told Xiao Yan to wait until the combatants were wounded before attacking the lion for its beast flame.

• The Amethyst Winged Lion King fired Amethyst Seal at Yun Yun, and she responded with Wind Summoning Technique.

Yun Yun escaped the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s attack but suffered severe injuries, while Xiao Yan and Yao Chen fled the mountain range after noticing strange changes in the beast. Xiao Lin secretly found Yun Yun, concealed her presence, and used Plane Extraction to retrieve a Storage Ring containing the legacy of the Eighth-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster Xuan Mingzi.

• Yun Yun used the Wind Summoning Technique and Bloodspark Wind to escape after the Amethyst Seal wounded her, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King sent magical beasts to hunt for her.

• Xiao Lin used Plane Extraction to retrieve a Storage Ring from an ancient ruin, identifying it as the legacy of Xuan Mingzi.

Xiao Lin treated Yun Yun's injuries after she woke in a cave, and she recovered enough to learn that her Dou Qi remained sealed. He recognized her Wind Summoning Technique, leaving Yun Yun suspicious of how he knew about her inheritance.

• Yun Yun woke in the cave, found herself too injured and weak to move, and demanded to know who Xiao Lin was.
• Xiao Lin displayed his collection of high-grade pills and gave Yun Yun a Sixth-Grade Blood-Replenishing Vitality Pill, healing her injuries.
• Yun Yun blushed with embarrassment after reacting to the pill's effects, then discovered that her Dou Qi was still sealed.
• Xiao Lin told Yun Yun the Amethyst Winged Lion King had changed and criticized her mastery of the Wind Summoning Technique.
• Yun Yun realized Xiao Lin knew about her inheritance, which she had only shared with Nalan Yanran, and grew suspicious.

Xiao Lin rescued the injured Yun Yun and kept her hidden from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's search parties. He then went to the Lion King's cave with a seventh-grade Transformation Pill, intending to trade it for purple spirit crystal.

• Yun Yun recognized the seventh-grade Transformation Pill and wondered about Xiao Lin's identity before asking why he had rescued her.
• Xiao Lin gave Yun Yun a robe and told her that the magical beasts could not find her because he had sealed the area.
• Xiao Lin left Yun Yun in the cave and headed for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair to trade the pill for purple spirit crystal.
• The Lion King struggled to make the primordial purple qi seed resonate when Xiao Lin appeared at its cave with the Transformation Pill.
• Xiao Lin offered the Transformation Pill to the Lion King and asked whether it wanted it.

Xiao Lin offered the Amethyst Winged Lion King a Transformation Pill in exchange for companion amethyst source and purple spirit crystals, revealing that he knew about the primordial purple qi seed. While Xiao Lin negotiated, Yun Yun mistook a pill he had left behind for medicine and swallowed it, only to discover that it caused an uncontrollable, scorching desire.

• The Amethyst Winged Lion King nearly seized the Transformation Pill, but Xiao Lin threatened to destroy it and demanded that he complete his earlier trade with Yun Yun.
• Xiao Lin revealed that he knew about the primordial purple qi seed and offered the pill for the companion amethyst source and nearby purple spirit crystals.
• Yun Yun, recovering in the cave, inspected Xiao Lin's bottles and found a pink jade bottle labeled “Spring Returns to the Earth.”
• Yun Yun inhaled the pill's fragrance, mistook it for a vitality-restoring medicine, and swallowed it.
• The pill's effects surged through Yun Yun, overwhelming her Dou Qi and will with an intense, uncontrollable heat.

Xiao Lin returned with the Purple Spirit Crystals and found Yun Yun suffering from the effects of an aphrodisiac. He used the Ice Ancestral Talisman and an Ice Heart Pill to suppress the drug and treat her, leaving her exhausted but calm.

• Xiao Lin traded a Transformation Pill for most of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Spirit Crystals and some Companion Amethyst Source, then advised it about its Primordial Purple Qi Seed.
• Xiao Lin found Yun Yun overwhelmed by an aphrodisiac and recognized the ingredients in the bottle that had caused her condition.
• Xiao Lin extracted the Ice Ancestral Talisman from Hai Bodong, leaving Hai Bodong shocked and bereft of the rune.
• Xiao Lin pressed the Ice Ancestral Talisman to Yun Yun's brow and gave her an Ice Heart Pill to suppress the drug's effects.
• Xiao Lin used cold energy and acupressure to draw out the remaining medicinal strength until Yun Yun quieted and fell exhausted.

Yun Yun woke in a stream and recalled how Xiao Lin had helped her endure the effects of the pill she had mistakenly taken, leaving her ashamed but relieved that he had not gone further. After Xiao Lin gave her the Purple Spirit Crystals and companion amethyst source he had obtained from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he offered her a Seventh-Grade Wind-Nurturing Pill, but she hesitated to accept it.

• The Amethyst Winged Lion King recalled his search parties after obtaining the Transformation Pill and withdrew to prepare for secluded cultivation.
• Yun Yun woke in a stream, remembered her humiliating episode with Xiao Lin, and realized he had only helped release the pill's medicinal power.
• Yun Yun met Xiao Lin upstream, and he gave her a Storage Ring containing dozens of Purple Spirit Crystals and three bottles of companion amethyst source.
• Xiao Lin warned Yun Yun that her talent was limited compared with the continent's true prodigies and offered her a Seventh-Grade Wind-Nurturing Pill.
• Yun Yun said she had already received too many favors and could not accept the pill, but Xiao Lin told her to keep it because her Great Wind Calling Art was progressing too slowly.

Xiao Lin persuaded Yun Yun to accept Xiao Yi Xian into the Misty Cloud Sect as a core disciple, then warned her to beware of her master, Yun Shan. Yun Yun was left questioning what had changed about the sect’s former master.

• Xiao Lin gave Yun Yun pills to improve her wind affinity and cultivation, and she accepted them.
• Xiao Lin revealed he knew Yun Yun’s true identity and asked her to accept his friend Xiao Yi Xian into the Misty Cloud Sect.

Xiao Yan learned from Yao Chen that the Fatal Flame carried unusual corrosive and instant-kill properties, likely linked to an origin beyond their world. After warning Xiao Yan about the dangers of other inheritors, Yao Chen concluded that ordinary beast flames would not advance the Flame Mantra and urged him to prepare to devour heavenly flames.

• Xiao Yan failed to advance the Flame Mantra by refining the Netherflame Leopard's netherflame and the Azureflame Eagle's Qingyun Flame, and asked Yao Chen why.
• Yao Chen explained that the Fatal Flame clung to wounds and could rarely kill enemies in a single strike, even those much stronger than Xiao Yan.
• Yao Chen connected the Fatal Flame and the strange powers of Yun Xiaotian, Xiao Zha, and Nalan Yanran to inheritances that might come from beyond their world.
• Xiao Yan recalled that Nalan Yanran's Thousand-Wind Spirit came from the Teyvat Continent and was known there as a God.
• Yao Chen warned Xiao Yan to avoid confronting inheritors without understanding their abilities, then said they should prepare for him to devour heavenly flames.
