Jin Lao'er led Chen Zheng, Lan Ling, and Yannü into the secret cavern beneath Yang Wilderness Mountain, where they encountered the will of the being buried there. The will revealed that it had appeared for Chen Zheng, but its reaction to his surname left the reason uncertain.

• Jin Lao'er brought Chen Zheng, Lan Ling, and Yannü into the underground cavern despite the Golden Crow grand elder's protests, and Jin Eleven and the grand elder followed.
