Episode 17 recap: The hot spring bath center opened for business and made a huge profit of five hundred taels of silver
Gu Qingqiao was delighted and said that from now on everyone would be able to eat meat every day and have an extra new outfit Everyone was overjoyedLu Zizheng asked Gu Qingqiao if she had found the Blue Wood Humanoid Sword in the forbidden area, but Gu Qingqiao shook her head and said she hadn't Lu Zizheng suggested they stop worrying about the hot springs, as Gu Qingqiao's flower petals had already turned black, and the only places left to search were Tian Shan Manor and the Qionglu
Since Ruan Shiqiong's martial arts were formidable, Lu Zizheng did not want to provoke him, but decided to go to Tian Shan Manor anyway.
However, trouble had erupted at the hot springs, where people from the Medicine King Valley had caused a disturbance and poisoned the guests, causing them to either develop severe itching or lose their hair. Everyone was at a loss, and the Medicine King Valley's leader even came to taunt the Xiling Sect.
Gu Qingqiao argued with him, saying he looked unsightly, and the leader grabbed her arm and wouldn't let go. Lu Zizheng rushed over and hit him with a stick, and everyone surrounded him and wanted to beat him up. Lu Zizheng asked Gu Qingqiao why she couldn't break free, and Gu Qingqiao said she had tried but couldn't muster the strength, leading Lu Zizheng to suspect she had also been poisoned.
To find the source of the poison, Gu Qingqiao had the eldest martial sister use a beauty trap to lure the Medicine King Valley's leader. He fell for it and revealed that the poison was a "love sickness" potion, a specialty of the Medicine King Valley. They then beat up the leader and threw him into the hot spring, where he was also poisoned.
Shao Yi wanted to buy the Grand Wizard's sacred object, offering ten thousand taels of silver, but the Grand Wizard said the sacred object was priceless and refused to sell it.
Duan Yu went to the Moon Wolf Tribe to find the sacred Wumen object for Gu Qingqiao, claiming it was for his beloved. There, Duan Yu and Xiaowu were captured, and to protect Xiaowu, Duan Yu killed some Moon Wolf Tribe members, then changed his strategy and had Xiaowu help him.
Gu Qingqiao invited Ruan Shiqiong to drink, but it was actually a plan to have Lu Zizheng go to the Qionglu to find the Blue Wood Humanoid Sword. However, Ruan Shiqiong was prepared, and had placed poison in the room. When Gu Qingqiao found out, she rushed to find Lu Zizheng, but both of them were exposed to the powder from the sword. But it turned out to be not poison, but fragrant powder. Ruan Shiqiong knew they were looking for the sword, and Gu Qingqiao explained she needed it to save her mother, Dong Fangchuangshuo.
Ruan Shiqiong agreed to help her find the sword, but on the condition that the sect leader of the Xiling Sect had to return before they could open the Nine Qing Secret Cave.
