• Feng Yuanchuan realized the Snow Spear Gate’s losses could provoke the Ice and Snow Sect because Qi Feilan had been Yin Shaofan’s fiancée, and he decided to report the matter to the Thousand Mortals Sect.
• Ji Wuchang traveled through Mang Province, reflecting on his gains from Qi Hechang and the Seven Sha Cloud-Severing Palm.

• Ji Wuchang registered for the auction by trading a mid-grade spirit weapon, which sold for slightly below market price, and left with Feng Cheng.
• Ji Wuchang spotted a flame-above-a-star emblem on a beggar's wrist; after they departed, the beggar revealed himself as Jingyu, a fifth-level Celestial Phenomenon Realm cultivator who called Ji Wuchang his prey.
• Feng Cheng explained that the emblem belonged to Spark, Mang Province's infamous assassin organization, and warned Ji Wuchang to avoid it.

• Ji Yaoyao awakened after refining the Heavenly Dragon Mystic Lotus and told Ji Wuchang she had gained a trace of Innate Mystic Dragon Qi.
• Ji Yaoyao sensed that the Dark Night Beast was sealed, had reached the seventh tier, and was undergoing atavism, so she urged Ji Wuchang to buy it.
