Li Dalong fled the Abyss Soul Devourer Beast after it killed the Golden Immortal maidservant, then escaped by provoking another powerful Demon Beast into fighting his pursuer. After recovering from the Abyss Soul Devourer Beast’s poison and injuries, he set out to return to Ye Wuxia and the others.

• The Abyss Soul Devourer Beast devoured the maidservant’s soul-spirit, and Li Dalong stored her corpse before fleeing on the Azure Rainbow Sword.
• Li Dalong led the Abyss Soul Devourer Beast toward another Golden Immortal Demon Beast and provoked the two beasts into attacking each other.
• Li Dalong escaped the fighting beasts, messaged Ye Wuxia that he was safe but delayed, and treated his poison and injuries inside a Concealment Formation.

• Several lone Demon Beasts sensed Li Dalong’s aura and lunged at him along the way.

Li Dalong returned to Ye Wuxia and the others after defeating the Demon Beasts, but revealed that Steward Zhang had died helping them escape. The group continued deeper into Wuling Peak Mountains, where a White-Tailed Spirit Monkey led Li Dalong to suspect they might find legendary monkey wine.

• Li Dalong reached the cave after escaping the Abyss Soul Devourer Beast and defeating the Demon Beasts, then brought out Steward Zhang's body.
• Ye Wuxia, Ke Xialing, Xiao Cui, and the others mourned Steward Zhang, and Xiao Cui placed his body in her Storage Ring to take back to the sect.
• Li Dalong and the others decided to continue their journey through the mountains cautiously, and Madam Yuehua told Xiao Cui to protect Ye Wuxia and let her choose for herself.
• The group gathered immortal medicinal herbs and spirit fruits, and a White-Tailed Spirit Monkey scratched Ke Xialing before fleeing into the forest.
• Li Dalong suspected the monkey's territory might contain legendary monkey wine, so he led Ye Wuxia and the others in pursuit while searching with his Divine Sense.

Li Dalong tracked the White-Tailed Spirit Monkey to its cave and discovered a store of Monkey Wine with powerful effects. After he collected most of it, the monkey woke and angrily demanded the wine back, while Li Dalong remained unharmed in the cave.

• Li Dalong followed the White-Tailed Spirit Monkey to a cliffside cave while Ye Wuxia and the others waited below.
• Li Dalong entered the cave and found the monkey asleep beside troughs of Monkey Wine and spirit fruits.
• Li Dalong tasted the Monkey Wine, discovered that it replenished him and sped up his Immortal Power, then filled his containers with most of the wine.
• The White-Tailed Spirit Monkey woke at the scent of the disturbed wine, crashed into a wall, and shrieked when it saw the trough nearly empty.
• Li Dalong told the monkey he had taken only a little, while it stamped and cried for its wine.

Li Dalong befriended the white-tailed spirit monkey after helping it survive a whole bottle of pills, which advanced it from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Mysterious Immortal Realm. He left the cave with monkey wine and shared it with Ye Wuxia, Ke Xialing, Xiao Cui, and the others.

• Li Dalong gave the white-tailed spirit monkey pills to compensate for taking some monkey wine, but it swallowed a whole bottle and collapsed in pain.
• Li Dalong guided the monkey's power and helped it refine the pills, allowing it to advance from the Earth Immortal Realm to the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
• The grateful monkey wanted to follow Li Dalong but could not bear to leave its wine, so Li Dalong gave it more pills and left the cave alone.

• Ye Wuxia and Ke Xialing tasted the wine, and Li Dalong gave each of them ten additional bottles to take home to their mothers.

Li Dalong and the Wives' Army continued training in the Wuling Peak Mountains with the White-Tailed Spirit Monkey, then began returning to the sect after Madam Yuehua summoned Ye Wuxia.
