The Centurion deliberately made things difficult for Bai Cai, Wu Geng, and others, using the insufficient amount of Bloodstone they collected as an excuse not to let them eat. Wu Geng knew the Centurion was deliberately making things difficult for everyone because of him. He said he could go without eating, but the people around him must eat. He also sarcastically called the Centurion the Immortal Clan's wagging-tailed dog, one who flatters superiors and bullies inferiors, begging like a dog.

The Centurion was enraged and ordered his subordinates to beat Wu Geng. Bai Cai was heartbroken for Wu Geng and shielded him with her body, resulting in her getting injured. To avoid implicating Bai Cai further, Wu Geng could only swallow his anger. When it was rest time, to avoid being secretly bullied, Bai Cai could only pull Wu Geng to rest with her. That night, officers who coveted Bai Cai secretly came to the two people's dwelling.

Wu Geng discovered their movements and immediately took action to teach them a lesson. At night, Bai Cai instructed Wu Geng not to provoke the Centurion again in the future. Now that they were on someone else's territory, if he confronted them head-on, he would only suffer. Bai Cai persuaded Wu Geng that only by surviving could there be hope.

Wu Geng thought of his parents' words before they died and decided to live well and find a way out for the future. The next day during mealtime, Wu Geng found a seriously ill old grandfather in the mine. He proactively gave the food he had snatched to the old grandfather to eat. The old grandfather refused Wu Geng's kindness, instead caring about Wu Geng's injuries from being beaten yesterday.

Wu Geng sighed, having met a caring companion in the mine. The old grandfather said he cared about Wu Geng because Wu Geng looked like a young man he knew years ago. It turned out that the young King Xin had also worked at the Beishan Mine before.

At that time, King Xin had also helped the old grandfather and also vowed in the mine that one day he would defeat the Immortal Clan and free the human race from suffering. The old grandfather also told Wu Geng that the young man he knew back then later escaped from the Beishan Mine. If he had the will, Wu Geng could also escape from this place. The old grandfather's illness flared up.

Wu Geng asked Bai Cai and the others to help take care of the old grandfather, and he went to find the Centurion to get a doctor. The old grandfather gave "Xiao Ling," a bird he had rescued from the mine tunnel years ago, to Bai Cai to take care of. The Centurion brought people to take the old grandfather away.

Wu Geng was worried about the old grandfather and secretly followed them, only to find that the Centurion ordered people to directly throw the seriously ill old grandfather off the suspension bridge. Wu Geng accused the Centurion of openly murdering someone, but was ordered by the Centurion to be surrounded and beaten. Wu Geng took the opportunity to hang the Centurion below the suspension bridge as a threat, which finally made the Centurion fully admit his mistake.

Wu Geng told Bai Cai, Shi Tou, and the others about the old grandfather being thrown off the suspension bridge. Everyone realized that there was no doctor in the mine at all, and none of the slaves could afford to get sick. The next day, Bai Cai's Cold Poison acted up. Wu Geng realized it was because Bai Cai was beaten while protecting him that her Cold Poison flared up.

He quietly asked the slaves in the mine tunnel if there was a doctor. The Centurion discovered that Wu Geng and Bai Cai had not collected Bloodstone and questioned Xiao Shang and Shi Tou. Another slave told him that Bai Cai was sick and the two had not gone to work today. The Centurion brought people over, wanting to throw the sick Bai Cai into the rocky pit to fend for herself.

Wu Geng carried Bai Cai on his back and fled in the mine tunnel. The two escaped into a cave entrance, which surprisingly managed to conceal their figures, allowing them to avoid being found by the Centurion's search. Just as Wu Geng didn't know how to treat Bai Cai, the old grandfather who had been thrown off the suspension bridge earlier appeared before them. Wu Geng only wanted to save Bai Cai's life.

He agreed to do anything he was asked. The old grandfather gave the medicine in his hand to Wu Geng, telling Bai Cai to take one pill a day. The old grandfather hadn't expected that the dignified Prince Wu Geng would lower himself to beg for the sake of a slave. Sensing that his identity had been exposed, he asked the other party's identity.

The old grandfather did not reveal his identity but only told Wu Geng that he had come for him and that years ago, King Xin had also lived and eaten with the slaves in the mine tunnel, promising to fight for the freedom of the human race.

The old grandfather told Wu Geng to stay in the mine tunnel and be a qualified slave, because without experiencing the suffering of the human world, how could he understand what true righteousness was. The old grandfather gave the Wonton Fire to Wu Geng as a meeting gift and then immediately disappeared. The Centurion made things difficult for Xiao Shang and Shi Tou because Wu Geng and Bai Cai had escaped. Wu Geng and Bai Cai appeared before them.

The Centurion threatened the two to make up for today's Bloodstone amount, otherwise he wouldn't let them off. Wu Geng told Bai Cai to rest first and that he would help her dig enough Bloodstone. Xiao Shang and Shi Tou voluntarily stayed to help. After resting, Bai Cai also came to help. Although she didn't have the strength to work now, she successfully found where the Bloodstone was located using her ability.

Everyone was very surprised by Bai Cai's ability to find Bloodstone. In the following days, the four cooperated with each other to collect Bloodstone, and the days passed by. The slave who had previously snatched Wu Geng's food got sick, so his Bloodstone collection for that day was insufficient. Wu Geng proactively shared the extra Bloodstone he had collected with the other party, which saved this person from being harassed by the Centurion.
