Episode 22 recap: Gu Qingqiao solemnly said to Duan Yu: "Our future is either that I gather the four spirits and disappear, or if I can't find them, I'll have to die
You should just forget about me and live a good life with Ruoyun" Duan Yu firmly said, "I won't let you die!" He handed Gu Qingqiao the Nine-Turning Clear Sound Bell, indicating that he would protect her no matter what
Ruan Shiqiong cooked fish soup for Zhang Sanfeng and said, "My sense of taste has returned, and the curse of the Blue Wood Humanoid Sword has been lifted. It seems that drawing the sword is the way out for Xiling."
Zhang Sanfeng's birthday was coming soon, so he asked Gu Qingqiao to go down the mountain to buy things, and Duan Yu and Xingsi would accompany her. Gu Qingqiao said, "My face is plastered with posters everywhere, so it's safer to have more people. You two can go together."
After buying the things, they encountered some roadside scammers. Duan Yu pulled Gu Qingqiao into an inn, and the two of them watched the fireworks together, reconciling their relationship.
Later, to find the Mystical Ice Grass, the three of them went to the snowy mountain. Duan Yu accidentally fell down the slope, and Gu Qingqiao held him tightly. Ruan Shiqiong promptly rescued them.
The three of them took shelter in a cave to avoid the snow. Gu Qingqiao brought warm medicinal soup, and everyone drank it to warm their bodies. Duan Yu and Ruan Shiqiong stood at the cave entrance to block the wind, and they both caught colds.
The next day, Gu Qingqiao slipped and fell into an ice crevasse, where she discovered the Mystical Ice Grass below. She broke the ice surface, found the medicinal herb, but also fell into the water.
Duan Yu and Ruan Shiqiong rescued her from the shore, and they all carried Gu Qingqiao back to Xiling.
Zhang Sanfeng had been in a coma for two days. Wang the Taoist Master brewed a medicine using the Mystical Ice Grass that Gu Qingqiao had found and gave it to him to drink. Zhang Sanfeng praised Gu Qingqiao greatly and said that Xiling would be handed over to her in the future.
Ruan Shiqiong told Zhang Sanfeng that Gu Qingqiao had lost her heartbeat while trying to save him, and if it weren't for Duan Yu's help, he might have already died.
Zhang Sanfeng told Ruan Shiqiong to drink the medicine, explaining that the Mystical Ice Grass was the elixir for drawing the sword, and only the one who was destined to draw the sword could see it. Since Gu Qingqiao had managed to do it, it was the will of Heaven. Ruan Shiqiong finally understood why his master had not saved his shidi back then.
Ruan Shiqiong told Zhang Sanfeng that he wanted to draw the sword as soon as possible, because Gu Qingqiao's time was running out. But the price of drawing the sword was the loss of the ability to perceive joy and sorrow. Ruan Shiqiong didn't tell Gu Qingqiao about this, but she accidentally overheard it. Ruan Shiqiong confessed to Duan Yu that his power came from the Blue Wood Humanoid Sword, and the price of drawing the sword was the inability to perceive the world.
Xiling was waiting for the one destined to draw the sword, and that person was Gu Qingqiao.
