Summary

Lv Dong Shan is shocked to learn that Gu Xiu has signed the Spirit Stone abandonment contract, which requires the sect leader's approval. He reveals that there are plots against Qing Xuan and discusses the disaster at the Bi Bo Sect's Spirit Stone mine, which actually uncovered an ancient relic guarded by monsters. The Bi Bo Sect sought help from Hong Yi Old Ancestor but failed to slay the monster. Lv Dong Shan proposes to collaborate with Gu Xiu to access the relic, offering to help him blend in and erase his traces if successful, in exchange for the Thousand-Faced Illusionary Jade. Gu Xiu agrees, hoping to uncover more about Jiang Xun during this venture.

Nian Zhao Xi suggests giving spiritual herbs instead, and she inquires about whether Jiang Xun has taken everything Gu Xiu gave to He Meng Yun.
