Hongning and the others were resting here. Daoist Master Dongxuan remarked that since beginning his cultivation, he had slain many demons, all of whom were evil, and that cultivators had the duty to vanquish demons. He couldn’t understand how Cangwu Mountain could accept demons as disciples. Baileng questioned why demons couldn’t cultivate, but Dongxuan insisted that it was rare for demons to achieve anything in cultivation.

Hongning said that she had been able to see demons since she was a child and that many of her friends were demons who had never done anything bad. Daoist Master Dongxuan admitted he had been mistaken. Hongning added that mortals feared demons, and demons feared mortals—the two were no different. Baileng asked why she had quarreled with Jinxiu.

Hongning replied that they hadn’t quarreled—she was certain that Jinxiu was the Deity who had saved her, but he simply refused to admit it. Jinxiu looked warm, but he was actually unreachable. Daoist Master Dongxuan said that was just how he was. When they started speaking ill of Jinxiu, Hongning couldn’t bear to hear it and told Baileng to stop. She was worried about Lu Jiu.

Baileng came up with an idea and lit the Life and Death Smoke, saying that since the flame was burning so strongly, Lu Jiu must be fine. Hongning and Baileng left, unaware that the smoke was about to go out. Jinxiu instructed his disciples to watch the mountain and went himself to find someone and seek the power of the Floral Deity, but couldn’t find them.

When Lu Yao heard that Lu Jiu and the others were missing, she offered to go with Jinxiu to search. The next day, Hongning and the others prepared to depart. Daoist Master Dongxuan said he had seen a burned stone stele inscribed with “Evil Dragon Pool. ” Baileng thought the Evil Dragon Pool was beyond their ability to handle and said he would take Hongning back to inform their master.

Hongning said traveling with Baileng slowed her down because she didn’t know how to fly with a sword. Daoist Master Dongxuan said she could stay with him—he would take care of her, so Baileng didn’t need to worry. Baileng left first. Bai Cha arrived, asking for directions to the Evil Dragon Pool. Although there was a demon dragon there, it guarded the Yin Spring at the bottom. The Yin Spring could help someone recall their past life.

Bai Cha wanted Hongning to remember him. He dragged a toad into the pool, and after a lot of effort, managed to obtain the spring water. He thought the demon dragon was too strong—he barely escaped with his life. Baileng revised the historical records, saying he had done some research and found that qilin were auspicious beasts. The Celestial Monarch asked whether Baileng had ever experienced the ancient times.

He recalled that a fairy once said Jinxiu was protected by a qilin contract. Hongning and Daoist Master Dongxuan arrived at the pool. Hongning had already realized that Dongxuan was a demon. Dongxuan couldn’t accept it and insisted that he wasn’t a demon, but an immortal. Hongning asked if he was the one who had captured the fox. Daoist Master Dongxuan tried to kill Hongning, but Jinxiu arrived in time to save her.

The two of them entered the pool, where there were Endless Trees that absorbed people’s pain. Jinxiu’s pain was taken away, and Hongning quickly retrieved it. Jinxiu led her onward. Ahead was another gate that could only be passed through by recalling joyful memories. Hongning passed through easily. Jinxiu saw a vision of his younger self. The young Jinxiu asked the current Jinxiu whether their mother had come when he bloomed the golden peony.

In truth, even after blooming eighty-one golden peonies and ascending to a High Deity, the Celestial Queen never came to see him. But Jinxiu told his younger self that she had. The young Jinxiu said he couldn’t let Jinxiu pass unless he told another happy story. Jinxiu recounted moments with Hongning and passed through smoothly. On his way back, Baileng became more and more uneasy. When he returned, he found that Hongning was missing.

Lu Yao arrived, and the two set out to search together. On the way, Lu Yao’s shadow approached them. Baileng hadn’t expected her shadow to take physical form—she really was a deity. Hongning fell, and a black serpent appeared, extremely happy to see her, saying its master had finally arrived.
