His Majesty's Duantu Nectar is finally here.

00:02:22,390 --> 00:02:24,460

My master was stingy back then.

20
00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:37,740
He never wanted to spend money buying me mooncakes.

21
00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:39,410
Always fobbed me off with potato cakes

22
00:02:39,430 --> 00:02:40,970

No.

You only see me as a cousin?

Is it because of Gelin?

00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,140
Is it because you care about Gelin?

I...

193
00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:19,820
You always look

194
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,530
so troubled.

195
00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:24,180

Lei Xiuyuan.

220
00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:27,420
- Shanhua! - Shanhua's on the verge of death.

221
00:19:27,860 --> 00:19:29,490
Come see him one last time.

222
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:32,730
His life is in your hands.

223
00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:34,490
Know that.

00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:26,100
Lime powder. Escape talismans.

00:20:26,550 --> 00:20:27,210
All set.

226
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,530
Zhenyunzi is threatening you

227
00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:30,180
with Lu's life.

228
00:20:30,220 --> 00:20:32,100
And you're going alone? Walking to your death?

229
00:20:32,230 --> 00:20:33,100
How did you know?

230
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:35,340
I overheard it when I woke up last night.

231
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:37,100
Xiuyuan, you should've told us

232
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:38,180
about this.

233
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,860
Zhenyunzi's cultivation is even stronger than Zong Quan's.

234
00:20:43,180 --> 00:20:44,180
This trip is practically suicide.

235
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,730
You don't have to risk yourselves for me.

236
00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:49,420
A real friend isn't afraid of that!

237
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,410
Let's go together. Saving him is what matters.

238
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,500
Enough with the chatter.

239
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,050
Yeah.

240
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,370
When we formed the Fragrance Bond, we swore to

241
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,610
live and die together.

242
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,500
A man of honor keeps his word.

243
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,770
Once I save Shanhua,

244
00:21:14,070 --> 00:21:15,250
I'll repay you.

245
00:21:18,270 --> 00:21:18,940
Let's move!

246
00:21:42,340 --> 00:21:43,770
None of you

247
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:45,290
says anything to my face.

248
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,100
Always hiding things and making me worry.

249
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,210
Gelin, actually...

250
00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:53,140
Whatever you want to do, just go do it.

251
00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:57,580
If you're happy, I'm happy.

252
00:22:01,470 --> 00:22:03,250
Alright. Let's head back to the academy.

253
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,380
Gelin! Gelin!

254
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,340
Gelin!

255
00:22:09,310 --> 00:22:10,010
Your Highness.

256
00:22:18,270 --> 00:22:21,340
Your Highness, the master has been waiting.

257
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,580
Please, come in.

258
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:23,730
After you.

259
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:32,250
Why are you here? And dressed like that?

260
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:33,940
The academy doesn't pay us.

261
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,140
I can't just burn through my savings.

262
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,860
Need to find a side job.

263
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:44,020
[Xingzheng Hall]

264
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,450
What's wrong?

265
00:23:00,030 --> 00:23:01,100
When I came over,

266
00:23:01,860 --> 00:23:03,580
I noticed a pavilion with strong spirit energy

267
00:23:04,030 --> 00:23:04,970
and a barrier around it.

268
00:23:05,790 --> 00:23:08,210
Maybe it's Zhenyunzi's place.

269
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:09,730
I want to check it out.

270
00:23:10,270 --> 00:23:11,250
Then I'm coming with you.

271
00:23:11,470 --> 00:23:13,420
No. This is an immortal sect.

272
00:23:14,030 --> 00:23:16,290
And too many people will alert him.

273
00:23:17,100 --> 00:23:18,970
You said it yourself, this is an immortal sect.

274
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,620
Zhenyunzi has deep cultivation.

275
00:23:21,030 --> 00:23:22,420
If I don't draw him away,

276
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,900
you'll definitely get caught.

277
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,420
I have a way

278
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,900
to lure Zhenyunzi out.

279
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,770
This is the layout of Xingzheng Hall's barriers.

280
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,770
Be careful when you move around.

281
00:23:40,270 --> 00:23:41,690
Don't trigger anything.

282
00:23:42,470 --> 00:23:44,380
Zhenyunzi is very cunning.

283
00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:45,450
How are you going to draw him out?

284
00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:51,250
Persuade Xuanshanzi to host a banquet for Zhenyunzi

285
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,860
and test his defenses.

286
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,860
After repeated inspections, the academy masters

287
00:24:07,340 --> 00:24:09,050
determined that dark stone

288
00:24:09,340 --> 00:24:11,210
was just a piece from Divine Tree Island.

289
00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:13,730
But Zong Quan won't let it go.

290
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,050
He keeps hunting for the Divine Tree.

291
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,380
Knowing my identity,

292
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,420
he still tried to kill me.

293
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,660
He clearly has no regard for the Yue State

294
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,530
or Xingzheng Hall.

295
00:24:22,710 --> 00:24:25,290
Your Highness, is this why

296
00:24:25,790 --> 00:24:26,970
you invited me over?

297
00:24:27,310 --> 00:24:31,050
Sir, I've learned that the Divine Tree's power is immense

298
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:32,380
and not for one person alone.

299
00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:36,900
Why don't we join forces to find it and share what we gain?

300
00:24:37,270 --> 00:24:40,380
Once we find the Divine Tree, we can elevate Xingzheng Hall.

301
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,450
Don't let Longming Sanctuary seize the opportunity.

302
00:24:45,230 --> 00:24:47,420
Xuanshanzi, what do you think?

303
00:24:47,750 --> 00:24:51,690
A catastrophe is coming. We should set aside our differences,

304
00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:55,010
find the Divine Tree, and stand against the Sea Calamity together.

305
00:25:02,070 --> 00:25:05,250
That guard looks unfamiliar.

306
00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:12,820
With Tongzhou's appearance-changing pill,

307
00:25:13,030 --> 00:25:15,490
that old guy shouldn't recognize me.

308
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,010
Zhurong Stone?

309
00:25:35,030 --> 00:25:37,820
Xuanshanzi, why would you pass down

310
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,800
Xingzheng Hall's supreme treasure

311
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,580
to someone who hasn't even formally joined yet?

312
00:25:42,990 --> 00:25:46,140
Xingzheng Hall was founded by the Ji clan's ancestors

313
00:25:46,510 --> 00:25:49,490
and has been supported by the Yue State for centuries.

314
00:25:50,550 --> 00:25:53,180
Tongzhou has long been recorded as my disciple.

315
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,770
Sir, you attacked my guard.

316
00:25:55,990 --> 00:25:56,860
What do you want?

317
00:25:57,270 --> 00:25:58,660
Her spirit power is masked.

318
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,620
She's taken an appearance-changing pill.

319
00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:04,140
I just wanted to

320
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,970
see her true face.

321
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,450
What's wrong with that?

322
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,050
It's very wrong.

323
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:13,420
Because...

324
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,860
Because she's my concubine.

325
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,420
I don't want others to see her face.

326
00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:27,010
Your Highness, you're young and passionate.

327
00:26:27,550 --> 00:26:29,580
Just as one would expect of Xuanshanzi's disciple.

328
00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:34,380
It's natural for the young to be caught up

329
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,380
in romance.

330
00:26:35,790 --> 00:26:37,770
Since she's Tongzhou's concubine,

331
00:26:38,510 --> 00:26:40,770
please let it go.

332
00:26:47,270 --> 00:26:48,940
Keep a close watch on that Lu guy.

333
00:26:49,550 --> 00:26:50,970
Don't let anything happen to him.

334
00:27:09,340 --> 00:27:10,380
It really is you.

335
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,050
Since you used Jiang Lifei as bait,

336
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,860
why not trade her for Lu Shanhua?

337
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:18,770
Why go through all this distraction?

338
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,210
Since you want to see him so badly, let's go.

339
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:25,010
Shanhua.

340
00:27:32,230 --> 00:27:32,770
Shanhua!

341
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,530
What happened to him?

342
00:27:43,710 --> 00:27:46,900
A vengeful spirit devoured his soul and shattered his heart meridians.

343
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,450
If I hadn't been feeding him spirit power,

344
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,580
he wouldn't have lasted this long.

345
00:27:52,990 --> 00:27:55,690
But his spirit root is already destroyed.

346
00:27:56,100 --> 00:27:57,970
Feeding him more spirit power won't help.

347
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,940
Without the fox spirit's power,

348
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,660
he probably won't make it through tonight.

349
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:05,820
Tonight?

350
00:28:09,470 --> 00:28:13,100
Don't you want to rebuild his spirit root

351
00:28:13,750 --> 00:28:14,820
and save him?

352
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,340
You went through all this trouble

353
00:28:23,270 --> 00:28:25,180
because you're afraid I'll hurt Xiaobangchui.

354
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,690
Relax. I have no interest in her.

355
00:28:34,990 --> 00:28:35,970
And I mean her no harm.

356
00:28:41,230 --> 00:28:42,100
Once the fox spirit is forced out,

357
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,100
will the host be unharmed?

358
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,820
Of course. It will also rid her of a great danger.

359
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,290
The fox spirit is a malevolent spirit.

360
00:28:52,470 --> 00:28:55,450
It's been living in her body, waiting for the chance to take over.

361
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,620
Extracting the fox spirit

362
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,770
saves Shanhua

363
00:29:00,230 --> 00:29:02,450
and frees Xiaobangchui from that crisis.

364
00:29:03,230 --> 00:29:04,660
Two birds with one stone.

365
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:07,420
What are you hesitating for?

366
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:14,580
Shanhua!

367
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:31,940
Fine.

368
00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:35,340
I'll do it myself.

369
00:29:37,750 --> 00:29:40,660
No matter what happens, you're not to touch her.

370
00:30:03,550 --> 00:30:06,940
A vengeful spirit devoured his soul and shattered his heart meridians.

371
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:02,970
Without the fox spirit's power,

372
00:31:03,470 --> 00:31:06,210
he probably won't make it through tonight.

373
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:26,860
This is a forbidden book.

374
00:31:27,380 --> 00:31:28,690
When you were unconscious,

375
00:31:28,710 --> 00:31:30,340
Lifei wanted to take out her inner core to save you.

376
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:33,820
But her cultivation is low, and she's not a spirit creature.

377
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:34,660
She doesn't have one.

378
00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:36,770
She was desperate to save you.

379
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:38,490
She would've given her life.

380
00:31:43,270 --> 00:31:46,620
A blood-bound covenant initiated by heart's blood.

381
00:31:48,620 --> 00:31:51,250
Transfer all injuries from the recipient to the caster.

382
00:31:53,660 --> 00:31:54,620
Transfer all injuries?

383
00:31:57,790 --> 00:31:59,100
Did you find a clue?

384
00:32:07,550 --> 00:32:10,010
I'm warning you, don't do anything on your own.

385
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:11,340
We're in this together.

386
00:32:11,940 --> 00:32:14,490
Yeah. We beat Zong Quan together.

387
00:32:14,660 --> 00:32:15,620
We can handle Zhenyunzi too.

388
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:17,620
As long as the three of us stick together, we'll get it done.

389
00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:25,140
You found Lu?

390
00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:34,250
I found a secret chamber in Xuanyin Pavilion.

391
00:32:35,030 --> 00:32:35,580
But

392
00:32:37,380 --> 00:32:38,180
I couldn't break the formation there.

393
00:32:39,620 --> 00:32:40,340
Why didn't you say so?

394
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:41,900
We can give it a try together.

395
00:32:42,180 --> 00:32:42,730
Right.

396
00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:44,900
No time to waste. I'll go prepare now.

397
00:32:55,710 --> 00:32:57,340
Careful. Feels like a barrier.

398
00:33:31,420 --> 00:33:32,660
This isn't Xuanyin Pavilion.

399
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:34,860
Where are we?

400
00:33:42,420 --> 00:33:43,250
Let's go further in.

401
00:34:04,140 --> 00:34:04,970
It's the Altar of Martyrs.

402
00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:07,140
After the Sea Calamity,

403
00:34:07,620 --> 00:34:10,100
Xingzheng Hall enshrined all the fallen elders

404
00:34:10,270 --> 00:34:11,420
and disciples here.

405
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:13,780
I heard Xuanshanzi mention it before.

406
00:34:14,780 --> 00:34:16,090
But because the resentment here is too strong,

407
00:34:16,630 --> 00:34:18,860
Xuanshanzi and Zhenyunzi declared it forbidden ground.

408
00:34:20,030 --> 00:34:21,010
How did we end up here?

409
00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:23,860
And these skulls...?

410
00:34:26,460 --> 00:34:27,490
They're demon remains.

411
00:34:32,380 --> 00:34:34,610
Did Zhenyunzi hide Lu here?

412
00:34:37,300 --> 00:34:39,570
Let's split up and search. Stay alert.

413
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,610
Lei Xiuyuan, what are you doing?

414
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:48,340
Xiuyuan.

415
00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:50,780

00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:54,820

Xiuyuan, let go!

423
00:37:43,300 --> 00:37:45,740
Is my spirit power too weak, and the technique incomplete,

424
00:37:46,460 --> 00:37:48,090
so I could only take on part of her pain?
