Episode 2 recap: Shao Cang Takes on a New Identity to Seize the Spiritual Scripture
In the second episode, it is said that on that night, Shao Cang silently and stealthily infiltrated Nan Yan's mind, intending to steal the precious treasure hidden within her - the "Seven Floating Karma Book". After some investigation, he learned that this book was no ordinary item, as it was divided into two volumes - the upper volume was attached to Nan Yan's body, while the lower volume was hidden in a remote and somewhat desolate valley.
In order to obtain the complete book, the two volumes must be reunited. Shao Cang, considering that although Nan Yan's spiritual powers were average, her background was complex, decided not to act rashly and seize it by force. Instead, he planned to wait for a moonless and windy night and then use a clever formation to take it.
To avoid suspicion, Shao Cang called himself Ji Yang, claiming to be from the望日 Peak of the望日 Gate. Nan Yan did not delve deeper into his true identity, only feeling slightly curious about it.
At that time, Nan Yan was busy collecting five rare poisonous herbs, waiting for the blooming of the Xia Li flower, so she could then go to the dark valley to search for the Xue Xue Jin Branch to refine the legendary Five Poison Nurturing Heart Pill. As she left, she felt like she was being followed, but could not find anyone.
Ji Yang quietly followed her, witnessing Nan Yan punishing several gossiping women in a playful manner, which actually contained medical insights, as she secretly healed their stomach ailments, an amusing sight.
Unexpectedly, another crisis arose - an infamous villain, Yong, attempted to turn Nan Yan into a living corpse, but was thwarted by the joint efforts of Ji Yang and a mysterious figure.
Meanwhile, Sect Master Meng Zhi Guang, in an attempt to suppress Nan Yan's mother Nan Rao, specially invited two experts, hoping to best her in a mahjong match, but ended up being soundly defeated and losing face.
As night fell, Nan Rao returned home to a carefully prepared dinner by Nan Yan. The mother-daughter interaction seemed to have reversed, with the daughter being mature and steady, while the mother had become more childlike. Observing this, Ji Yang was convinced that Nan Yan's words were true, and she was indeed diligently seeking medical treatment for her family.
While Ji Yang was setting up a formation to launch a nighttime raid, Nan Yan assigned him a laborious task - fertilizing the entire garden of spirit fields, which he reluctantly but dutifully carried out.
At this time, the noble from the Dragon Capital, Mu Zhan Ting, arrived, seeking to become Meng Zhi Guang's disciple. Initially hesitant, Meng Zhi Guang immediately agreed upon learning of Mu Zhan Ting's vast wealth, accepting 500,000 spirit stones as tuition, much to Mu Zhan Ting's delight, although he began to have doubts about the sect's rules.
Nan Yan administered a tonic to Ji Yang, seeing that he was unharmed, which puzzled her. Ji Yang later learned that he was the first human test subject for Nan Yan's experiments, as she had previously only used animals. Meng Zhi Guang, upon discovering his daughter and disciple's disrespect towards Nan Yan, ordered them to apologize, but Meng Ying was dissatisfied, believing her father's favoritism towards Nan Yan was due to his desire for her mother's beauty.
In the end, Nan Yan prepared a delightful nourishing meal, inviting Ji Yang to partake, but Ji Yang found it difficult to swallow, filled with inner turmoil. As night fell, he eagerly activated the formation, intending to seize the spiritual treasure, but the spiritual symbol did not appear, and instead, Nan Yan began to cough up blood. Seeing this, Ji Yang grew suspicious, believing the formation was a harmful device, and immediately ceased his actions, avoiding a potential disaster.
