Lü Yang and Shen Ge found pills in a ruined room, but a greedy crowd tried to seize them until Shangguan Ouyang intervened. The group was then pressured into helping break another formation, where Li Xue’s first suggested attack point failed.

• Lü Yang burned a mantis-like bug that flew from the room, then found two medicine bottles in the ruined pill room and quickly sealed one after its fragrance revealed pills above the fourth grade.
• Shen Ge activated the formation to deter the crowd, but Shangguan Ouyang arrived and stopped the cultivators from attacking them before taking the bug’s corpse to investigate.

• Shen Ge shattered the pill, took its three largest fragments, and offered the remaining pieces to the cultivators if they helped him escape.
• Qianyuan secretly used a talisman to open a small hole in the elders’ formation, and the injured Shen Ge escaped through it as a gentle breeze.
