Episode 13 recap: Huo Xing Chen absorbs the Toxic Qi Pill.
After defeating Gu Zhu, Huo Xing Chen also faints. The others bring her to the physician Song Shen Yi. Huo Qing Liu pleads with Song Shen Yi to save his daughter. After examining Huo Xing Chen's pulse, Song Shen Yi determines that she has absorbed an excessive amount of internal energy, causing her current state of disorder and fainting. It is fortunate that she did not explode and die immediately. However, further treatment is required, so he asks everyone to leave and allow Huo Xing Chen to rest.
Yao Guang advises Mu Bing He to give up on the idea of marrying Huo Xing Chen. Over the past few days, she has sensed the growing affection between Huo Xing Chen and Jiang Bu Ting. She doesn't want her brother to suffer and hopes that he can find another suitable partner.
Jiang Bu Ting asks his master when Huo Xing Chen will wake up. Song Shen Yi informs Jiang Bu Ting that Huo Xing Chen's internal energy is in turmoil. He has used acupuncture to control the restless true energy. As for when she will wake up, he cannot be certain. After speaking, Song Shen Yi takes the blood sample extracted from Huo Xing Chen and prepares to seclude himself for research, instructing Jiang Bu Ting not to disturb him. Jiang Bu Ting looks at Huo Xing Chen, who is in a deep sleep, and makes a promise to her that if she wakes up, he will fulfill all her requests.
Huo Qing Liu discovers that many of the missing martial artists from the past ten years are in Yinling Valley and have been transformed into mutants, numbering in the thousands. The Five Mountains Sect had no knowledge of any of this. Furthermore, in order to become more powerful and become the number one in the martial world, Gu Zhu of Yinling Valley had his subordinates consume the Toxic Qi Pill.
After Gu Zhu regains consciousness, Huo Qing Liu and Huo Jian Wa meet with him. Huo Qing Liu accuses Gu Zhu of sacrificing innocent lives for the sake of his own power and plans to bring him to the Five Mountains Sect for judgment under the martial world's swords, demanding an explanation to the entire martial world. Gu Zhu feels that Huo Qing Liu has ruined his plans. Otherwise, he would have already become the number one in the martial world. He attempts to break free from the ropes and attack Huo Qing Liu. However, due to consuming too many Toxic Qi Pills, he is deeply poisoned. In his attempt to exert force, he tragically dies on the spot.
In the Hidden Spirit Valley, many people have consumed the Poisonous Pill, but they are unaware that once they reach a certain level of consumption, they will suffer a backlash and eventually explode and die. Huo Qing Liu saw Gu Zhu's reaction before his death and concluded that he was also being manipulated by someone. There must be a higher mastermind behind him, and he decided to eliminate this mastermind and save the innocent people. He issued a bulletin, calling all the anomalies to the Hidden Spirit Valley to receive treatment. After seeing this news, many anomalies went to the Hidden Spirit Valley.
Someone reported to the mysterious person that Gu Zhu in the Hidden Spirit Valley had died, and the Poisonous Pill he concocted was absorbed by Huo Xing Chen. However, Huo Xing Chen did not explode and die, which piqued the interest of the mysterious person. The mysterious person had researched for a long time but couldn't find a way to transfer the power of the Poisonous Pill to oneself without suffering a backlash. After seven days, Song Divine Physician finally developed a pill to treat Huo Xing Chen. After taking the pill, Huo Xing Chen slowly regained consciousness. The first thing she did after waking up was to tell Jiang Bu Ting that she would keep her promises and fulfill all her requests.
Mu Bing He wanted to take Mu Yao Guang back to the Five Mountains Sect, but Mu Yao Guang didn't want to go back. She didn't want to live a life of conformity. She wanted to live for herself and experience life on her own terms. Mu Bing He asked her to monitor Huo Xing Chen, observing her every move with Jiang Bu Ting and sending him messages through carrier pigeons. His reason was that he was afraid Huo Xing Chen would be manipulated by Jiang Bu Ting. Mu Yao Guang agreed to do it.
Huo Qing Liu was having tea with his daughter. He was proud of Huo Xing Chen because she was able to capture the thief and break the strings of the qin at a critical moment, turning the tables for the Five Mountains Sect. He asked Huo Xing Chen about her vision of the martial arts world. Huo Xing Chen felt that in her vision, the martial arts world would be an equal place where women could be like men, upholding chivalry and righteousness, and she would continue to strive to achieve this goal. Huo Qing Liu felt that his daughter had grown up and her ambitions were no longer those of a little girl but that of someone who could bear the responsibility of the Five Mountains Sect.
