> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Chu Ying returns from Fangwai Mountain with mixed news. While he is relieved to have returned safely, he admits to Lu Qianqiao that he failed to find the legendary artifact for blood renewal. Lu Qianqiao remains undeterred, revealing that he has already discovered another method involving a magical artifact called the Sunblock Banner.
Created by a reclusive master in North Xiang known as Master Sanju, the banner was refined in a blood pool for eighty-one days and famously drained its creator of all his blood upon completion. Lu Qianqiao recalls seeing the evil device in the capital when it was wielded by the heretical cultivator Mr. Gui.
Since Mr. Gui’s death, Lu suspects the banner has fallen into the hands of Zuo Yingying, a member of the Qinghong Sect whom he encountered at the Safe Haven Inn. Lu prepares to travel to North Xiang to retrieve it, but he refuses to let Chu Ying accompany him.
As a being created by Lu, Chu Ying is spiritually linked to him; with Lu currently weakened from the bone-renewal process, Chu Ying would also be too frail to maintain his human form. Lu reassures him that he has a master at Liubo Temple in North Xiang who has likely reached the Great Completion Stage. Meanwhile, Chongling Valley is still teeming with people seeking medical aid despite the death of the Medicine God, Su Taiyi.
Patients continue to flock to Suwen Hall, gossiping about whether Su died of anger after his furnace exploded, committed suicide, or simply died of old age. While they mock the failed Immortality Pill, they still rely on the valley's disciples to treat their everyday ailments. Xin Mei and Sheng prepare to leave the valley, but they are stopped by Bai Zongying.
He mentions a recent case in the capital where an immortal woman cleared her husband's name through violence, using the story to prompt Xin Mei to think about her own situation. He suggests that her memory loss is likely the result of a curse or specific technique. When Xin Mei asks where she might find the truth, Bai Zongying points her toward Wei County.
He also mentions that the creeping woodsorrel is blooming on Tianyuan Mountain, inviting her to visit if she ever passes by. Elsewhere, Lv Yunsu wakes up in a villager's home and is overjoyed to find Li Si alive. Li Si explains that Su Taiyi faked his death with a cenotaph and hid him in a basement to treat his wounds.
They are saddened to hear of Su Taiyi’s passing but learn from the villagers that the Immortality Tax has been abolished. The commoners are now celebrating Jin Lun, who led them to build irrigation canals and save their herb fields. Before departing for North Xiang, Jin Lun tells the people that the immortal sects were merely repaying a debt they owed to the commoners.
In the desert, the Lord of Rust-Sword, Meishan Jun, is struggling with his new life as an escort for a caravan led by Tang You. Having been fired as a bounty guard after a failed case, he is now reduced to manual labor and protecting a coffin for travel money. He is pestered by An, a rabbit demon he previously encountered in Wei County, who follows him relentlessly and begs to be his disciple.
Meishan Jun is frustrated by the caravan’s poverty, often having to spend his own money to keep them fed. He warns An that he will not teach a demon and threatens to punish her if she resorts to stealing. At the Tianyuan Sect, Bai Zongying debates the Sect Leader over the injustice of the Gongshan Jade Tablets. Bai argues that the commoners sacrificed everything while only the royal families and sects benefited.
The Sect Leader dismisses his concerns, arguing that tools like the Immortality Pill have no inherent morality and that their value is determined by the user. He compares the pill to rice or carriages—useful things that can still cause death—and insists the sect must focus on becoming strong enough to protect the weak rather than obsessing over potential harms.
In Lingji Mountain, Sect Master Lin An orders Jiang Ji to North Xiang to capture a group of human demonic cultivators from the Wushuang Society. These heretics recently stole manuals from the Scripture Pavilion and injured several disciples. Lin An warns that the group recruits commoners and trains children with spiritual potential to oppose the immortal sects. Lin Muhan, who is currently grounded for his past failures, begs to go along, but his father refuses.
Secretly, Lin Muhan resolves to track down the heretics himself to regain his standing. As the caravan stops for the night, An becomes terrified, claiming that the coffin is moving and contains a living person or a ghost. Meishan Jun eventually opens the lid to reveal Lu Qianqiao, who is traveling under his alias, Feng Hong Yi Dao (Autumn Crimson Blade).
Lu Qianqiao jokingly claims he is occupying the coffin to provide "yang energy" to ward off spirits, as local custom dictates that a coffin should not travel empty. In reality, he is using the transport to recover from his injuries while heading to North Xiang. Meishan Jun grumbles about his own misfortunes but eventually settles in with the mysterious passenger.
The Tianyuan Sect Leader sends Sima Randeng, who has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, to join Bai Zongying on a new mission. They are to head to the Sihe Library in Phoenix City to prevent the Wushuang Society from obtaining a demonic mantra that could bewitch the populace. He warns them that demonic cultivators often disguise themselves as weak or kind to manipulate others. Meanwhile, Xin Mei and Sheng reach Wei County.
Through Song Qingbao, Xin Mei learns that Lu Qianqiao previously used the name Lu Huai. She then visits the Safe Haven Inn, where the innkeeper Li Niang confirms that Lu Qianqiao took care of her day and night when she was wounded, proving he bears no ill will toward her. After Sheng obtains a map of the region, they decide to take the western route into North Xiang to continue their journey.
