Su Yi sealed the Three Pure Ones’ and Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s powers and let them settle their dispute in a hand-to-hand fight while he, Suirenshi, and Gou Yan watched and ate. Gou Yan was left baffled by the Sages’ clumsy brawl as the three Sages gradually gained the upper hand.

• Eastern Emperor Taiyi called Su Yi “Brother Su,” further angering the Three Pure Ones, who attacked him; Su Yi sealed everyone’s cultivation and told them to fight farther away.
• Gou Yan urged Su Yi to flee, but Su Yi conjured seats, a table, and watermelon so they could watch with Suirenshi while the hot pot cooked.
• The Three Pure Ones and Eastern Emperor Taiyi fought with their physical strength alone, trading punches and kicks until the Three Pure Ones pinned him down and began landing blows.
• Gou Yan finished his watermelon and watched the fight, astonished by how awkward the Sages’ hand-to-hand combat looked.

• The Three Pure Ones and Eastern Emperor Taiyi ended their fight, and Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue asked Suirenshi if he had obtained the innate primordial violet qi.
• Suirenshi confirmed that he had refined the qi, puzzling the others because his aura did not match theirs.
• Su Yi explained that Suirenshi was neither a Hunyuan Sage nor a Great Dao Sage and revealed their connection could let him lend Suirenshi some of his power.
