Mo Shanshan and Ning Que arrived at a lush, green valley, speculating that the gate to the Demon Sect's domain might be hidden there. Ning Que remained cautious, noting that if the entrance were so easily found, agents from the West Shrine would have discovered it long ago. Mo Shanshan believed that both Ye Hongyu and Prince Long Qing were in the wilderness to find the legendary Tome of Arcane. Just then, Long Qing appeared, remarking on their reunion.
Having arrived earlier, he informed them that the gate was not yet ready to open. Long Qing taunted Ning Que for hiding behind a woman, a jibe Ning Que defiantly embraced. Seeking to provoke him further, Long Qing offered to trade three cities of the Yan Kingdom for Sangsang, wishing to make her his "wine companion." Ning Que furiously rejected the offer, declaring he wouldn't trade Sangsang even for a kingdom.
Goaded into action, Ning Que accepted a high-stakes wager proposed by Long Qing: they would compete to see who could first break through to the All-Knowing stage. The loser would have to destroy their own Aperture Qihai and Aperture Xueshan, crippling their cultivation permanently. Furthermore, if Ning Que lost, he would leave the Academy, and if Long Qing lost, he would leave the West Shrine.
Despite Mo Shanshan’s protests against the severe terms, Ning Que sealed the bet in the name of Haotian and the Sage. Using his large black umbrella, Ning Que created a diversion and escaped into a forest with Mo Shanshan. When she questioned his confidence, Ning Que admitted he fully expected to lose. He explained that his master had taught him that survival comes first and to flee any fight he couldn't win.
The bet was merely a desperate ploy to escape Long Qing’s immediate wrath. He had no intention of ruining his life over an unfair wager, even one sworn on the Sage's name. Meanwhile, at the shop in Chang'an, Sangsang prepared smoked bacon, eagerly anticipating Ning Que’s return. The aroma attracted Chen Pipi, whom Sangsang playfully called "Fat Immortal." She refused to share the bacon, teasing that he would then ask for side dishes, rice, and soup.
When he boasted of his unparalleled memory, Sangsang challenged him to a bet not for the bacon, but for silver. They competed to memorize the unique, complex codes on silver tickets. To Chen Pipi’s astonishment, Sangsang recited them flawlessly each time. Conceding defeat and a hundred taels of silver, a suspicious Chen Pipi realized she must have memorized all the shop's ticket codes in advance.
Unwilling to accept the loss, he challenged her to a game of Weiqi for another hundred taels. After waking, Ning Que spotted Daming Lake in the distance. He and Mo Shanshan investigated, and a sudden flash of light from the lake's center convinced Ning Que that the Demon Sect's gate was nearby, protected by a barrier, and that they would have to wait. Later, overcome by hunger, Ning Que craved Sangsang’s sour and spicy noodle soup.
He tried a hard, foul-smelling pastry given to him by Chen Pipi but threw it away in disgust, though Mo Shanshan quietly retrieved it. He then gifted Mo Shanshan a music box from his Ninth Brother, which she found enchanting. Elsewhere, the Emperor of Tang’s guards reported their continued failure to locate Wei Guangming.
While Long Qing, guarded by Ye Hongyu, focused intensely on his cultivation—using his telekinesis to force a withered tree to bloom as a measure of his progress—Ning Que simply boiled a pot of water. He tossed in Chen Pipi’s discarded "black lump," which miraculously transformed into a delicious sour and spicy noodle soup. As he and Mo Shanshan shared the meal, she sensed a powerful energy merging with the natural Qi of Daming Lake, confirming it was the entrance.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound erupted as the world's Qi gathered across the lake. In a daze, Ning Que hallucinated Sangsang calling to him and floating into his arms, a vision so powerful his spirit nearly left his body. He snapped out of it to find Mo Shanshan congratulating him; he had successfully broken through to the All-Knowing stage. Ye Hongyu instantly sensed Ning Que's achievement and urged Long Qing to maintain his focus.
Fearing retaliation, Ning Que prepared to flee, but an enraged Long Qing launched a sneak attack from across the lake. Mo Shanshan quickly drew a talisman to shield Ning Que, who then retaliated with his Yuan Thirteen Arrow. The arrow struck Long Qing, instantly shattering his Aperture Qihai and Xueshan. Ye Hongyu appeared by the fallen prince's side, explaining that his own impatient attack had caused a fatal backlash to his Tao-mind at the critical moment of breakthrough.
He had not lost to Ning Que, but to himself. Back in Chang'an, Chen Pipi grew increasingly frustrated with Sangsang's unorthodox Weiqi moves. When Wei Guangming returned from an errand, Sangsang had him take her place. Upon recognizing the former High Priest of the Hall of Light, a terrified Chen Pipi tried to flee, but Wei Guangming calmly insisted he stay and finish the game.
Sangsang later spoke to an absent Ning Que, proudly recounting how she had won a hundred taels from the "Fat Immortal" and vowing not to share a single piece of the bacon with him.
