When enormous Red-Eyed Army Ants erupted from the ground, she identified them as an extinct, deadly swarm.

• Xue Fuyao said she would purify the killing intent from Monster Beast Inner Cores and sell them to the Demon Race for a share of a top-grade demon crystal vein.

• Xue Fuyao and her companions followed Big Treasure’s direction for about half a day until they reached an immense pit, where she sent a Gu Worm to investigate the dangerous aura.

• Xue Fuyao saw a huge pale skeleton resisting Killing Intent, a golden inner core beside its head, and two untainted Golden Origin Deer guarding them.
• Xue Fuyao told Xueheng about the skeleton and inner core, then identified the guardians as Golden Origin Deer and ruled out a direct fight.
• Xue Fuyao sent Shadow Three away with Xueheng and used the Jade Glass of the Azure Moon to grow spirit medicines and lingzhi mushrooms.
• Xue Fuyao concealed poison from the Myriad Poisons Origin-Returning Vine and Bai Ling inside the plants, hoping the deer would eat enough before noticing the effects.

Xue Fuyao lured the Golden Origin Deer to a patch of poisoned spirit medicines and lingzhi, then waited as the poison incapacitated them. She confirmed with the Heavenly Eye that they were unconscious but still alive, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Xue Fuyao hid near the Golden Origin Deer and removed the Barrier to release the fragrance of the spirit medicines and lingzhi.
• The two Golden Origin Deer followed the scent, inspected the patch, and ate it all.
• The poison took effect as the deer headed back, and the doe collapsed first, followed by the stag.
• The stag briefly regained awareness and searched for the hidden attacker, but the poison soon knocked him unconscious again.
• Xue Fuyao used the Heavenly Eye to inspect both deer and saw that their powerful vitality had kept them alive despite the poison.

Xue Fuyao, Shadow Three, and Xueheng discovered that the Ancient Battlefield was a tomb and that Bai Ze had died there after helping seal it. They followed the map to the tomb entrance, found that someone had gone ahead, and entered carefully, suspecting the tomb’s owner had ties to Gu Masters.

• Xue Fuyao and the others left the deep pit after Shadow Three secured the Divine Beast Skeleton and its inner core.

Xue Fuyao traveled with a merchant caravan toward Blood Moon City, where she hoped to trade wine, while a Devil Soldier secretly watched her for signs that she carried more. During the slowed journey, she found a living object hidden in her flowerpot and confronted her watcher about the delay.

• Shadow Three became the Tianyin Sect's treasured disciple after his master abducted him by mistake, and Xue Fuyao helped his cultivation by revealing potential opportunities.

• Xue Fuyao put the object away, then asked her watcher why the caravan had slowed; he ordered her to return and stay put.

Xue Fuyao evaded the search for the person who killed Princess Lijia, learned Puppet Art, and escaped Blood Moon City with a puppet made from Zhang Zhenyu's corpse. She left unaware that Princess Lijia had been the woman she killed and that the Devil Race had placed her on its kill list.

• Xue Fuyao found Blood Moon City's gates sealed and hid from Princess Lijia's search by transforming into a black cat.

• Xue Fuyao used the Heavenly Eye to locate the treasure: an egg that could awaken the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline and was close to hatching.

• Xue Fuyao dripped her blood onto the egg twice, but the creature inside rejected her and claimed to bear the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's bloodline.

Thirteen entered the Inheritance Grounds disguised as a Fox Demon, where Xue Fuyao guided him through illusions and helped him loot the trials before he reached the inheritance site. He obtained a Scarlet Long Saber, while a young man with a gray fox tail and a girl with pink fox ears took the other two weapons, and the three left quickly.
