Episode 17 recap: Xiao Yi Xian's calamity poison body is under control, and Xiao Yan comes to Zhongzhou in search of Feng Xian.
Inside the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, Xiao Yi Xian's poison body is no longer controllable. Although She Cai Lin specially designed an energy shield to protect her, Xiao Yi Xian's calamity poison body is about to erupt and cannot be restrained. In desperation, she implores She Cai Lin to go out and seek the Dean and the elders, asking them to seal her inside the tower to prevent her own poison from endangering the entire Canaan Academy.
Seeing the critical situation, She Cai Lin reluctantly agrees. The new Dean and the elders join forces in the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, continuously injecting their energy into the tower. Hu Jia is anxious and on the verge of tears. Just then, Xiao Yan rushes into the tower with the wind.
Upon entering the tower, Xiao Yan sees Xiao Yi Xian in a near-death state. He quickly supports her and feeds her the Bodhi Transformation Saliva. However, there are no signs of improvement in Xiao Yi Xian's condition. Moreover, Xiao Yan himself has been backlashed by Xiao Yi Xian's calamity poison body, experiencing extreme discomfort. Suddenly, he remembers the words Huo Zun Zhe Yao Tianhuo told him: the Bodhi Transformation Saliva should be applied to the skin and reinforced with the Fire Seal Technique.
Struggling, Xiao Yan moves behind Xiao Yi Xian and says, "I apologize, Xiao Yi Xian." He removes Xiao Yi Xian's upper garment and applies the Bodhi Transformation Saliva to her back, following Huo Zun Zhe's instructions and adding the Fire Seal Technique.
The tower gate opens with a loud bang, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian appear before everyone with renewed spirits. Everyone shows a relieved smile: Xiao Yi Xian's calamity poison body is under control! However, Huo Zun Zhe tells Xiao Yan that this method of using the Fire Seal Technique to infuse the Bodhi Transformation Saliva can only control Xiao Yi Xian's calamity poison body for three years, after which it will still erupt.
To completely cure it, they must go to Zhongzhou and find an expert. Xiao Yan reveals that he is going to Zhongzhou to save his master, Yao Chen. Yao Tianhuo informs Xiao Yan that although Yao Chen fell in the battle against the Soul Hall, the Starfall Pavilion is still intact because Feng Zun Zhe, Feng Xian, is supporting it. After Yao Chen's fall, Feng Xian searched throughout Zhongzhou to find him. If Feng Xian learns that Xiao Yan is Yao Chen's disciple, he will treat him well.
The fastest way to Zhongzhou is through the teleportation array. Hu Jia volunteers to lead the way. Xiao Yan, accompanied by She Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan, arrives at the array. Hu Jia watches them enter and loudly wishes them success.
She Cai Lin bids farewell to Xiao Yan as she plans to go back and settle the accounts with the mercenary group that has long been harming the Snake People tribe.
Before leaving, She Cai Lin bit Xiao Yan's wrist, leaving a snake mark as a symbol of his belonging. From now on, Xiao Yan would be considered a member of the Snake King. No demons or monsters along the way would dare to harm him if they saw that he was associated with the Snake King. Zi Yan, who came with them, also bid farewell to Xiao Yan. She gave him her bracelet, Yulin Bell, and told him that if he ever needed anything, he could shake the bell, and she would come to him immediately.
Zhongzhou had a superior geographical location, and everywhere was bustling with prosperity. As Xiao Yan walked and observed, he was suddenly attracted by the lively crowd on the streets. However, he noticed that Xiao Yi Xian was nowhere to be found. He hurriedly searched through the streets and alleys to find her.
At that moment, he saw two ruffians beating up a young man. Xiao Yan couldn't stand by and watch, so he stepped in and fought against the ruffians. With just a few punches and kicks, he sent them running away in fear. The young man expressed his gratitude, and at that moment, Ying Wei from the auction house noticed Xiao Yan. He approached Xiao Yan and gave him a token, reminding him that no matter where he wanted to go or whom he wanted to find, as long as he had that token and went to the auction house, he would find the answers he sought.
Xiao Yan arrived at the gambling house, which was even more lively. The shopkeeper tried to sell him a local-grade fighting technique, and Xiao Yan happily accepted it. Feng Qing Er, the senior sister of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, was shopping with two junior disciples and happened to come across Xiao Yan. When she saw the fighting technique in Xiao Yan's hand, she accused him of stealing from the Wind Thunder Pavilion and shouted for others to catch the thief.
Mu Qing Luan, the senior brother of the Starfall Pavilion, saw the situation and stepped forward to testify that he had personally witnessed Xiao Yan buying the fighting technique and that the accusation of theft was unfounded. Upon hearing that Mu Qing Luan was from the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan immediately inquired about the whereabouts of Feng Zun Zhe. Mu Qing Luan mentioned that Feng Zun Zhe often traveled around and that there would soon be a Four Pavilion Tournament held here, where they might be able to see Feng Zun Zhe.
Xiao Yan encountered Ya Fei, the owner of the auction house, who recognized him as Xiao Yan from Wutan City. Ya Fei specially invited him to stay. Xiao Yan decided to stay and focus on studying the fighting techniques in hopes of meeting Feng Xian at the Four Pavilion Tournament. He made significant progress during his studies.
At the Four Pavilion Tournament, Feng Qing Er from the Wind Thunder Pavilion dominated the arena, defeating disciples from many sects. The Wind Thunder Pavilion challenged the Starfall Pavilion, and Mu Qing Luan had no choice but to step forward and accept the challenge.
