He then discussed promoting Mo Shang with the Fourth Heavenly Venerable and Eighth Heavenly Venerate, who agreed that Mo Shang could earn his chance through the coming battle.

• The Third Heavenly Venerate asked Mo Shang why they needed so many experts to attack Starfall Pavilion, and Mo Shang replied that the Third Heavenly Venerate could defeat it alone.

After the treasury guard caught him taking nearly a third of its stock and threw him out, Mo Shang returned to his Main Hall to refine the ingredients and raise his cultivation.

• Mo Shang ate rare fire-attribute medicinal ingredients while the treasury guard watched, and he explained away his ability to absorb their potency as a difference in constitution.
• The guard decided not to stop Mo Shang, and Mo Shang continued eating before secretly sending a wisp of Chaos Flame beneath a shelf.
