• Ye Xingchen announced that the mission was complete, distributed rewards, and Li Dalong and Ye Wuxia returned safely to the Cloud Glow Sect with two elders and elite disciples.

• After cultivating for a total of 1,650 years inside the Creation Cultivation Tower, Li Dalong hit a bottleneck near the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and left seclusion to consider where to gain experience.

• Qian Er told Li Dalong that the pavilion did not accept custom orders and could not say when another batch would arrive.
• Li Dalong accepted the available stock, satisfied that he had obtained the rare talismans for protection.

Li Dalong bought talismans from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and accepted Qian Er’s Communication Jade Talisman so he could hear when Meteor Flame Talismans came back in stock. He then visited Youjian Restaurant, where he listened for news about the Netherworld Secret Realm.

• Qian Er calculated the price of Li Dalong’s talismans, discounted the purchase, and verified the immortal stones Li Dalong paid.
