• Ding Yishan stopped bidding against Lu Qing'an for the earthworm treasure rather than risk losing the assets he needed for the final item.
• Lu Qing'an claimed a Mystic Frost Heavenly Heart Jade Pendant for Xue Tianfei, and the host gave it to him without opening bidding.

• Lu Qing'an found Qian Jiahe and asked him to show him the chamber of commerce's treasury, and Qian Jiahe agreed.

Lu Qing'an searched the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce treasury and took two mysterious Eight Mysteries treasures along with a hundred other items. After leaving, he sensed someone watching him and suspected Ding Yishan, so he flew toward a less crowded place to give him an opportunity to act.

• Lu Qing'an asked Qian Jiahe about the treasury's highest-grade treasures, and Qian Jiale showed him two incomplete Eight Mysteries items.

• Lu Qing'an selected a hundred items from the treasury and left the Qian Household Chamber of Commerce.
• Lu Qing'an sensed someone spying on him and suspected Ding Yishan, so he flew openly toward a less crowded place.

• Demon God Phantoms and their Divine Abilities overwhelmed Ding Yishan, and Lu Qing'an stomped him into the ground while holding back enough to spare his life.
• Lu Qing'an said Ding Yishan could still be useful if he broke with the Xu Household and served him, then asked whether Ding Yishan had ever been told he was at the Peak Sovereign Realm.
• Ding Yishan realized Lu Qing'an had never claimed to be at that realm and suspected he had been set up, while Lu Qing'an considered how his Divine Abilities grew stronger with cultivation.
• Yun Luo and Cang Ru arrived after the battle, and Yun Luo hesitated to intervene because opposing Lu Qing'an seemed more dangerous than losing Ding Yishan.
• Ding Yishan called on Yun Luo to save him, and Yun Luo silently cursed him.

He then promised Yun Luo and the others a share of any veins he found, hoping to win the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Fall Continent’s favor.

• Ding Yishan showed Lu Qing'an a secret page explaining that the jade disc was part of a treasure designed to locate Heavenly Mandate Soul Stones and their veins.

• Ding Yishan told Lu Qing'an about a rumored Heavenly Mandate Soul Stone vein in the Fallen God Sea.
• Lu Qing'an offered to spare Ding Yishan if he followed instructions involving his sworn brother, Xu Heng, and Ding Yishan accepted.
• Lu Qing'an let Ding Yishan leave, then told Yun Luo that everyone present would receive a share if he found more veins.
