Xiao Hua accepted Yu Chen’s arrangements for a delayed journey to the Meng Kingdom and entered seclusion to cultivate and refine pills.

After saving several cultivators from the Mo Ran, Xiao Hua learned that Fu Feng and the others from Jinhua Mountain were traveling to White Bamboo Mountain and warned them that powerful pursuers might be interested in them. He followed their route with Xue Xue, hoping to find Fu He, and months later they reached the southern Meng Kingdom.

• Xiao Hua collected communication talismans from cultivators of the Immortal Music Sect and Cheng Ye Sect, then accepted thanks from Fu Feng, Liu, and Fu Shan of Jinhua Mountain.

• Several months later, Xiao Hua and Xue Xue traveled across the southern Meng Kingdom toward a distant mountain range.

Xiao Hua and Xue Xue traveled toward White Bamboo Mountain while discussing Fu He and Xue Xue’s cultivation. Xiao Hua noticed signs of severe drought and led Xue Xue to a lonely shack, where he saw something that left him heartbroken.

• Xiao Hua looked inside the shack and felt his heart twist in pain.

Xiao Hua and Xue Xue found a starving infant and his grandfather, Fan Nong, and used spirit dates to revive them. After discovering that Madam Qian had eaten her son Qian Er to feed her dying mother, Xiao Hua faced her accusations that cultivators ignored the starving villagers of Fan Manor.

• Xiao Hua and Xue Xue found the emaciated Ying'er and his grandfather, Fan Nong, beside a thatched shed.
• Xue Xue offered dried spirit dates, and Xiao Hua helped Fan Nong feed small pieces to himself and Ying'er.
• Fan Nong identified himself and Ying'er, then began explaining the poverty in Fan Manor at the mountain's foot.
• Xiao Hua sensed trouble in the village, rescued an infant, and brought back the unconscious Madam Qian.
• Madam Qian said she was not human, and Fan Nong explained that Qian Er had likely been eaten to feed his mother.
• Xiao Hua apologized for misjudging Madam Qian, who accused cultivators of neglecting the starving people of Fan Manor.

Xiao Hua was shaken by the famine and resolved to save the starving mortals, though he could not help everyone at once. After meditating, he produced a great pile of rice stalks for Fan Nong’s family and set out to find more food.

• Madam Qian described the suffering in Fan Manor, and Xiao Hua vowed to save as many people as he could.
• Xue Xue offered to stay and guard the starving villagers while Xiao Hua sought food, but Xiao Hua instead took Fan Nong to rescue the most endangered elders and infants with Spirit Dates.
• Xiao Hua returned after saving several people and struggled to find a way to nourish the fields or feed everyone.
• Madam Qian and Fan Nong begged Xiao Hua to save the infant and his mother, while Xiao Hua meditated for several hours.
• Xiao Hua produced a huge pile of rice stalks, gave it to the family to eat, and said he would go search for more food.

Xiao Hua brought food to Fan Manor and learned that the drought had devastated the region after the Yun Lan Sect refused to help the starving villagers. He set out for the sect to investigate its rain-summoning treasure, wary of its formidable talismans and late Foundation Establishment leader.

• Xiao Hua returned to Fan Manor with grain and dairy cows, then told Xue Xue that starvation had spread throughout the area around Yu City.
• Fan Yunxiao explained that years of worsening weather had left Fan Manor without rain, and that the Yun Lan Sect had refused to help without spirit stones.
• Xiao Hua decided to visit the Yun Lan Sect, take its Cloud Rain Summoning treasure, and bring rain to the people.
• Xue Xue stayed behind at Fan Manor as Xiao Hua flew toward the sect.
• Xiao Hua learned that the small Yun Lan Sect was led by late Foundation Establishment cultivator Yun Tengyu and was known for powerful spirit talismans, making a direct confrontation risky.

Xiao Hua visited the declining Yun Lan Sect to meet its Sect Leader, Yun Tengyu, and discovered its ancient restrictions and a strange archway resembling one at Cloud Mist Mountain. He entered a vast hall with Yun Qinglie, leaving the purpose of his visit and the archway’s significance unresolved.

• Xiao Hua learned that the Yun Lan Sect relied on Rain Condensing Talismans and would likely resist giving up its Cloud-Gathering and Rain-Making Technique.
• Xiao Hua arrived at Qingyun Mountain, where Yun Lan Sect disciples sent word to Sect Leader Yun Tengyu.
• Yun Qinglie greeted Xiao Hua and led him inside after Xiao Hua said he had a private matter to discuss with the Sect Leader.
• Xiao Hua noticed that the mountain’s restrictions were dilapidated and that its Rain Dew archway resembled one at Cloud Mist Mountain.
• Xiao Hua passed beneath the archway and was startled to find a huge hall that had not appeared so imposing from outside.

Xiao Hua went to Yun Lan Sect to obtain Rain Condensing Talismans for drought-stricken farmers, but Sect Leader Yun Tengyu demanded an exorbitant price. Yun Tengyu offered to sell the talisman-refining method, then tried to intimidate Xiao Hua after he exposed his spirit stones, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Xiao Hua asked Yun Tengyu to provide Rain Condensing Talismans to relieve Fan Manor's drought, but Yun Tengyu refused to help without payment.
• Xiao Hua agreed to buy one hundred talismans, and Yun Tengyu demanded one superior-grade spirit stone for each.
• Yun Tengyu offered to sell Xiao Hua the method for refining Rain Condensing Talismans in exchange for a large sum and a heart oath not to share it.
• Xiao Hua accepted the deal and began to untie his storage bag, prompting Yun Tengyu to threaten him and release his late Foundation Establishment pressure.
• Xiao Hua laughed and released his own pressure against Yun Tengyu's.

Xiao Hua fought Yun Tengyu and the Yun Lan Sect cultivators in their great hall, using Samadhi True Fire and the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors to counter their attacks. Yun Tengyu trapped him in the True Water Formation, but Xiao Hua protected himself with a Rabbit Formation and remained unharmed.

• Yun Tengyu attacked Xiao Hua with hailstones, but Xiao Hua blocked them with Samadhi True Fire and set Rabbit Formation talismans on the ground.
• Yun Tengyu, Yun Qinglian, and two other cultivators launched their magic treasures and implements at Xiao Hua, breaking apart his fire wall.
• Xiao Hua used the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors to split two of the implements and crack another, then damaged Yun Tengyu's lotus-leaf treasure.
• Yun Tengyu activated the True Water Formation, whose raindrops shattered Xiao Hua's fire wall.
• Xiao Hua activated the Rabbit Formation, whose radiance withstood the True Water Formation's attacks.

Xiao Hua confronted Yun Tengyu for the Rain Condensing Talisman method, but Yun Tengyu activated the Yun Lan Sect’s ancient Green Python Formation and swallowed him in its Green Seal Script. Trapped inside and unable to move freely, Xiao Hua struggled against a force that began tearing his body apart.

• Xiao Hua broke through Yun Tengyu’s ice attack and demanded the Rain Condensing Talisman method, then attacked him to avenge the people who died at Fan Manor.
• Yun Tengyu revealed a skeletal hand and activated the Green Python Formation with Green Seal Script, drawing Xiao Hua into the platform despite his attempts to escape.
• Yun Tengyu’s use of the formation aged him and drained his strength, so he ordered the others to conceal what happened and claimed Xiao Hua’s dropped scissors and talismans.
• Inside the Green Python, Xiao Hua found his true essence immobilized and his divine sense confined, while a powerful force tore at his body through his protective armor.

Xiao Hua used the Eye of Delusion Breaking and his soul threads to survive the green light’s tearing force, comprehending thirty-six more green seal characters. He discovered an enormous cave containing a carved character for “rain” and realized it might hold another treasure.

• Xiao Hua extended his soul threads through the green seal characters, but the green light continued tearing at his body.
• When Xiao Hua opened the Eye of Delusion Breaking, it drew in his divine sense and fired a silver-gray beam that shattered the green seal character attacking him, ending the tearing force.
• Xiao Hua used his soul threads to arrange the scattered characters and absorbed thirty-six of them, bringing his total to thirty-nine.
• Xiao Hua examined the vast cave and recognized the enormous green seal character carved into its wall as “rain.”
• As Xiao Hua prepared to leave, he sensed he had overlooked something and reached toward the carved character with his soul threads.

Xiao Hua deciphered the ancient green seal script and learned the Cloud-Gathering and Rain-Making Technique, then killed Yun Tengyu and searched his soul. Disguised as Yun Tengyu, Xiao Hua returned to Yun Lan Sect, gave its disciples spirit stones, and appointed Yun Qingyu as the next Sect Leader.

• Xiao Hua understood that the green seal script described the Cloud-Gathering and Rain-Making Technique, though he still could not produce its talismanic syllables as a cultivator.
• Xiao Hua ambushed Yun Tengyu when he returned to the cave, killed him, and searched his soul before sending it on to transcendence.
• Xiao Hua took spirit stones, copied Yun Tengyu’s jade slips, collected the Cloud-Rain Talismans, and added the hand bone to the skeleton in his space.
• Xiao Hua destroyed Yun Tengyu’s corpse, disguised himself as him, and returned to Yun Lan Sect’s main hall.
• Xiao Hua convinced Yun Qinglian and the other disciples that Yun Tengyu had exhausted his lifespan, gave them spirit stones, and appointed Yun Qingyu as Sect Leader.

Xiao Hua left the Yun Lan Sect after giving its disciples final instructions, then brought rain to Fan Manor and found that his help might produce golden threads in his Buddhist fire. He learned that some rice seeds he had provided had not germinated, and Fan Yunxiao began explaining that the crops’ usual growing cycle had changed.

• Xiao Hua told Yun Qingyu to make Rain Condensing Talismans for drought-stricken people and sent Yun Qinglian and Yun Qingfeng to help the Fu family of Jinhua Mountain.
• Xiao Hua staged his departure from the Yun Lan Sect, then shed Yun Tengyu’s robe and headed toward Fan Manor.
• Xiao Hua found Fan Yunxiao and the Fan clan planting rice, gave them rain with Rain Condensing Talismans, and noticed more golden threads inside his Buddhist fire.
• Fan Yunxiao thanked Xiao Hua and asked for more rice seeds after discovering that some of the seeds Xiao Hua had provided had not germinated.
• Fan Yunxiao explained that the Fan Manor’s rice had always followed a regular growing cycle, but that the pattern had now changed.

Xiao Hua and Xue Xue helped drought-stricken mortals and discovered that changing spiritual energy had damaged ordinary rice crops. Xiao Hua supplied Fan Manor with abundant resilient seeds and left with Xue Xue, intending to turn next to disputes among cultivators.

• Fan Yunxiao told Xiao Hua that rice-growing seasons had shifted, harvests had dwindled, and ordinary seeds might soon become unusable.
• Xiao Hua and Xue Xue traveled through drought-stricken areas, with Xiao Hua refining Rain Condensing Talismans while Xue Xue activated them.
• After fourteen days in seclusion, Xiao Hua concluded that the altered spiritual energy had harmed ordinary seeds and that seeds from his space could still grow well.
• Xiao Hua gave Fan Manor enough fine seeds for its own fields and to share with nearby communities, and Fan Yunxiao promised to distribute them.
• Xiao Hua and Xue Xue departed, and Xiao Hua said he was more capable of settling disputes among cultivators.

Xiao Hua and Xue Xue headed to White Bamboo Mountain to rescue Fu He, Fu Chu, and Fu Zhu, whom they believed might be in danger. There, Fu He and his wives were living safely as the founders of Tianfu Sect, unaware that Xiao Hua was coming.

• Xiao Hua took Xue Xue toward White Bamboo Mountain, hoping they had arrived in time to save the three Fu cultivators.
• Fu He failed again to draw an Invisibility Talisman and realized he needed Foundation Establishment true essence to complete it.
• Fu Chu blamed Xiao Hua for losing the yellow-talisman method, but Fu He defended him for taking the blame and helping them escape.

• Fu Chu recalled learning that she and Fu Zhu were not Fu He's blood sisters, and Fu He cautioned her against speaking of the matter aloud.
• Fu He mourned Uncle Xiang, and Fu Zhu comforted him by saying Uncle Xiang had died knowing he was happy.

Fu He, Fu Zhu, and Fu Chu confronted the consequences of Xu Zheqing fleeing after revealing that he belonged to the Xu Family of Xian City. The Fu Family of Jinhua Mountain arrived at White Bamboo Mountain, and the Xu Family appeared just as Yun Qingfeng and Yun Qinglie prepared to leave.

• Fu He explained that he founded Tianfu Sect to build strength and pursue his ambition of making it one of the foremost sects on the Xiaoyu Continent.

Yun Qinglie and Yun Qingfeng discovered that Xu Hong and Zhong Yejing had come to White Bamboo Mountain for the Invisibility Talisman, while Fu He revealed he also possessed an Essence Nourishing Talisman. As the Foundation Establishment cultivators debated whether to kill Fu Feng and the others, Yun Qingfeng invoked his sect leader’s final instruction to protect them, leaving Xu Hong to ask Fu He what he wanted.

• Xu Hong and Zhong Yejing arrived at White Bamboo Mountain and revealed that the Xu Family sought the Invisibility Talisman’s crafting method.
• Yun Qingfeng realized Fu Feng had concealed the real purpose of the expedition, and Fu Feng offered to let the four Foundation Establishment cultivators copy the method.
• Fu He disclosed that he also had an Essence Nourishing Talisman and agreed to provide both methods on the condition that Fu Feng, Liu Yun, and the others be killed.
• Xu Hong prepared to attack, but Yun Qingfeng stopped him by citing the Yun Lan Sect leader’s final instruction and proposed driving Fu Feng and the others away instead.
• Xu Hong warned Fu He that the Qi Cultivation cultivators would not trouble him again and asked what Fu He wanted done.

Xiao Hua appeared at White Bamboo Mountain and overpowered Xu Hong, forcing the gathered cultivators to return Fu He's jade slips and swear not to harm Tianfu Sect. After settling the old grudges, Xiao Hua confronted two concealed cultivators, and one attacked him with a wind-blade fan.

• Fu He, Fu Feng, and Liu Yun swore heart oaths, and Xu Hong allowed them to leave White Bamboo Mountain.
• Xiao Hua and Xue Xue revealed themselves, and Xiao Hua immobilized Xu Hong, struck him, and returned Fu He's jade slips.

• Xiao Hua told Fu Feng to end the Fu family's conflict with Fu He, and Fu Feng promised to relay the message to Fu Yunbo.
• Xiao Hua exposed two hidden cultivators and demanded they remove their Mihuan and swear a heart oath; one refused and attacked with wind blades from a palm-leaf fan.
• Xiao Hua's Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors cut through the wind blades and swept toward the fan.

Xiao Hua overwhelmed two disguised cultivators and forced them to surrender, discovering they were Qiu Mingwei and Liao Xuanlan. After supporting Tianfu Sect and thanking Yun Lan Sect for its help, he sent the Yun Qinglie brothers back to aid Yu City with seeds for the drought-stricken fields.

• Xiao Hua attacked the disguised cultivators with the Soaring Flood Dragon Scissors, Samadhi True Fire, and Town Cloud Seal.

• Fu He invited everyone to Tianfu Sect’s Reception Hall, while Yun Qinglie and Yun Qingfeng asked to return to help Yu City.
• Xiao Hua promised to aid Yun Lan Sect if it faced trouble and gave the Yun Qinglie brothers fine seeds to plant where crops could not sprout.

Xiao Hua mediated between Tianfu Sect, the Fu Family, and Qiu Mingwei and Liao Xuanlan, urging reconciliation and confronting Liao Xuanlan about her revenge. After learning Qiu Mingwei had used a Cauldron-Vessel technique to force his cultivation breakthrough, Xiao Hua accepted the technique and encouraged Liao Xuanlan to pursue alchemy, leaving her hopeful about her future.

• Xu Hong gave Xiao Hua a piece of Qian Mo secret stone in exchange for spirit stones, and Xiao Hua asked Zhong Yejing to stay for a private discussion.
• Xiao Hua visited Tianfu Sect's Reception Hall and urged Fu He and Fu Feng to put aside their families' feud, while warning Liao Xuanlan not to harm unrelated people in the name of revenge.
• Liao Xuanlan admitted she had sought Fu He's talisman arts, and Qiu Mingwei revealed that he had used her as a cauldron-vessel to advance to late Foundation Establishment, leaving her cultivation likely capped at early Foundation Establishment.
• Qiu Mingwei gave Xiao Hua the Cauldron-Vessel technique and prepared to leave with Liao Xuanlan.
• Xiao Hua encouraged Liao Xuanlan to practice the Gengshan Liao Family's alchemy arts, and she resolved to try alchemy and repay his kindness if she succeeded.

Xiao Hua settled matters between the Tianfu Sect and the Fu Family, warned Fu He to act honorably, and gave him supplies for the sect. Before leaving with Xue Xue and Zhong Yejing, Xiao Hua accepted a damaged record of the concealment of heaven's guise technique from Fu He.

• Xiao Hua left Xue Xue overnight and returned before dawn to study the concealment technique Fu He had given him.

• The group continued to Zhongling Mountain Villa without receiving a response from the Family Head, and arrived at the Zhong family’s residence.
