Bai Yaoyao and the Black-Clad Team met Wei Tianming, who had forged Dada Juan’s Cloud-Rising Spear, and discovered that Chen Jian'an’s brother-in-law had stolen it while extorting protection money. After Bai Yaoyao dealt with the thieves, the group left Wei Tianming with payment, supplies, and an offer of work.

• After the Black-Clad Team accepted gifts on Commercial Street, the shopkeepers found fruit and a level four crystal core left in return.

• A mysterious figure appeared where Li Ziheng had died, replayed the scene, and raced after Bai Yaoyao, reaching her location within seconds.
