Stranded far from home, Xin Baobao demanded to return, but He Pingsheng offered her a chance to study his Great Dao Order if she became his disciple.

While preparing the formation and harvesting materials from corpses, he met Lan Bing, an expert invited by Deer-Chasing Immortal City, who doubted his claim that he had killed Supreme Unity Golden Immortals.

• He Pingsheng activated the Illusory Moon Treasure Mirror and hid Wild Goose Peak beneath a seventh-grade immortal formation.
• He learned Xin Baobao had already reached the Supreme Unity Golden Immortal realm and inspected the completed fortune-transfer formation with He Tianya.
