Yuan Zhong prepared to head to the Eastern Wastelands in search of the next artifact spirit, Lu Chen. On the way, he encountered an old man and asked for directions to Rammed Earth City. However, due to the long journey, they needed to find a place to stay for the night. Spotting a house nearby, the group decided to ask for shelter, only to discover that the owner was the very same old man.

The old man told them that the Mute Woman of Wushan had helped the Eastern Wastelands by changing the climate to make it more livable and by building many libraries. The humans of the Eastern Wastelands greatly revered the Mute Woman of Wushan as their goddess. To test Ji Tan Yin, Yuan Zhong deliberately spoke disrespectfully about the Mute Woman of Wushan, angering the old man. However, Ji Tan Yin’s reaction was not what Yuan Zhong had expected.

Based on her response, she likely was not the Mute Woman of Wushan. That night, Ji Tan Yin visited the old man and found him copying books, though he had made mistakes in the text. When she pointed it out, she realized he was completely illiterate and was merely copying by sight. She decided to stay and help him transcribe the books.

Upon seeing Ji Tan Yin’s handwriting, the old man took out a notebook left behind by the Mute Woman of Wushan. Ji Tan Yin’s handwriting was strikingly similar to hers. Curious about the past of this place, Ji Tan Yin asked the old man, who told her that this area was once called Chaos Cloud Village. This triggered Ji Tan Yin’s memories—she had indeed been here before.

At that time, only a dozen families lived in the area, and she had just recovered from her injuries, being both deaf and mute. However, she was puzzled because, back then, she had not arrived riding a phoenix. The next morning, before they parted ways, the old man kindly gave Ji Tan Yin some food and even a few books. He urged her to study well and not to always serve others as a mere attendant, suffering grievances.

Tang Hua successfully arrived in Yan Du and met with Chi Yi and Xia Zhi. They informed him that he had come at a critical time, as the human race was currently discussing how to deal with the War Demons. They also told him about a secret organization called the Wu Shuang Society, which worshipped the goddess Wu Shuang.

The society claimed that the Youhu Clan was the greatest threat, had recruited many followers, and had even investigated whether Wu Shuang had ties to the War Demons. Xia Zhi and Chi Yi also discovered that Lü Yao, the owner of Green Garden Trading House, admired the Youhu Clan. He had once traveled to Fangwai Mountain but, after his father’s death, never returned there. His background was highly suspicious.

Meanwhile, Zhi Dai finally returned to her long-abandoned home, where her younger brother, Zhi Yue, was now in charge. Zhi Yue, now in his middle years, was shocked to see his sister, who, thanks to a rejuvenation technique, appeared young enough to be his daughter. Seeing that her room had remained exactly as she had left it, Zhi Dai felt deeply guilty about her past recklessness.

She informed her brother about the resurgence of the War Demons, leaving Zhi Yue in disbelief. Yuan Zhong, Ji Tan Yin, and their group successfully arrived at Rammed Earth City and lodged at Yun Niang’s tavern. The moment they entered, Yuan Zhong noticed Yun Niang worshipping the Mute Woman of Wushan. Meanwhile, Tang Hua found Shen Ying and requested a meeting with the city lord of Yan Du, but the lord was in seclusion, which Tang Hua found suspicious.

He took the opportunity to question Shen Ying about the Wu Shuang Society. Tang Hua had already deduced that someone was secretly aiding the society and instructed Shen Ying to investigate Lü Yao. Shen Ying then contacted Zhi Dai and informed her of Tang Hua’s arrival in Yan Du. Zhi Dai was puzzled upon hearing this because Lü Yao had already been imprisoned by Shen Ying. How had he escaped?

She ordered Shen Ying to investigate the Wu Shuang Society from the shadows. Yuan Zhong, accompanied by Zi Fei and Kai Shan, arrived at Orange Lake to rescue the third artifact spirit, only to find that Lu Chen was missing—the seal had already been broken. Meanwhile, Ji Tan Yin sat alone at the tavern, drinking. She noticed a small beggar and kindly shared her food with him. Seeing Ji Tan Yin’s kindness, Yun Niang devised a plan.

She had A Si throw out a person she had previously rescued while pretending to be impoverished. This was all an act to trick Ji Tan Yin into offering money. Ji Tan Yin had no money on her, but Yuan Zhong did. Without consulting him, she decided on his behalf to provide assistance. Yun Niang then led Ji Tan Yin to the back courtyard, where a comatose man lay in a room. At that moment, the unconscious man slowly opened his eyes.
