Episode 23 recap: Xiao Yan collected three thousand Yan Yan Fire, and Xuan Kong Zi died while trying to save Xuan Yi.
No one knew where Zi Yan had gone, so everyone immediately split up to search. Qiu Ling, along with Feng Xian and Xiao Yi Xian, went to the secret passage and found an ice coffin there. Feng Xian recognized that the person lying in the ice coffin was none other than Xuan Yi, the elder who had fallen during the battle with the Soul Palace fifty years ago. Upon seeing the seal on the ice coffin, Feng Xian had a vague understanding. He told Qiu Ling that Xuan Kong Zi's treatment of him was actually for his protection, as the Soul Palace had already taken control of this place. It seemed that Xuan Kong Zi's deal with Mu Gu was intended to revive Xuan Yi. Mu Gu's goal was to obtain the three thousand Yan Yan Fire, which required immense power. Mu Gu planned to sacrifice the lives of the top ten pharmacists to achieve his goal.
Qiu Ling suddenly realized the situation and promptly reminded Feng Xian to stop the ten pharmacists from entering the Star Domain. The Star Domain was the place where the three thousand Yan Yan Fire was stored. Initially, the three elders of the Dan Tower sealed it there using the Dragon Seal for safety. However, with the imminent eruption of the three thousand Yan Yan Fire and the emergence of the power of the Soul Palace, it had become highly dangerous. It must not fall into Mu Gu's hands.
While they were speaking, Xuan Kong Zi appeared. Feng Xian warned him not to be manipulated by Mu Gu. Xuan Kong Zi was solely focused on reviving Xuan Yi, which was why he agreed to the deal with Mu Gu. However, now that he had Zi Yan, a descendant of the Dragon Clan, he no longer needed Mu Gu's assistance. In front of Feng Xian, he wiped away the mark of his cooperation with Mu Gu.
However, Xuan Kong Zi was worried that Feng Xian and the others would try to rescue Zi Yan and stop him, so he used the Tai Xu Fighting Technique to trap Feng Zun Zhe and the others. Then he flew away with Zi Yan. Outside the entrance of the Star Domain, Elder Tian Lei Zi was leading the ten victorious participants of the competition into the Star Domain when Mu Gu suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack on Tian Lei Zi.
Everyone immediately joined forces to fight against Mu Gu. However, the Soul Palace's fighting techniques were incredibly advanced and far beyond what these ordinary pharmacists could stop. In order to subdue the three thousand Yan Yan Fire before its eruption, Mu Gu no longer engaged with them and took advantage of the distraction to fly into the Star Domain along with Xuan Kong Zi and Zi Yan.
Xiao Yan and Mu Qing Luan followed closely behind and entered the tumultuous Star Domain. Feng Xian used all his abilities to break through the Tai Xu Fighting Technique and entered the Star Domain as well. Inside, they saw flying rocks and blazing flames. Xuan Kong Zi had previously given Zi Yan a pill, turning her into a puppet under his control.
Seeing Zi Yan suffering, Xiao Yan rushed up to protect her. At this point, the eruption of the three thousand Yan Yan Fire was imminent, and Xuan Kong Zi finally came to his senses. He shouted for everyone to quickly get out. Only Mu Gu seemed unable to give up on the three thousand Yan Yan Fire and attempted to attack Zi Yan to unseal and control it with the Dragon Seal.
Xiao Yan fought with all his strength to fend off Mu Gu and protect Zi Yan. In the end, just before the eruption of the three thousand Yan Yan Fire, Xiao Yan pushed Zi Yan out with all his might. Feng Xian protected Xuan Kong Zi and also retreated, and Mu Gu took the opportunity to retreat as well. Seeing that Xiao Yan was still inside the Star Domain, Feng Xian disregarded the danger and wanted to rush in. Elder Tian Lei Zi stopped him, explaining that the three thousand Yan Yan Fire had already erupted, and the temperature inside was scorching hot. It was unlikely that anyone would survive, and Xiao Yan was probably unable to escape this calamity. It was already futile for anyone to enter, and everyone was deeply saddened upon hearing this.
Qiu Ling supported Xuan Kong Zi as he lay on the ground. He had a vision where he saw Xuan Yi, whom he had always been concerned about, smiling affectionately at him in the air. Xuan Kong Zi's face revealed a contented smile, and he murmured, "Xuan Yi, we will be reunited soon!" As soon as he said this, Xuan Kong Zi forever closed his eyes.
Inside the Star Domain, Xiao Yan endured the scorching flames, and his clothes had already been burned to ashes. However, he persisted with great willpower. Suddenly, he noticed the imprint of the three thousand Yan Yan Fire in the palm of his hand. Immediately, he activated his Dou Qi and subdued it within his grasp. Just when everyone was grieving, Xiao Yan, ragged and tattered, appeared before them. Upon learning that he had subdued the three thousand Yan Yan Fire, Feng Xian was extremely relieved. However, Xiao Yan suddenly leaned into his arms.
It turned out that the demonic poison in his body had erupted. Feng Xian knew that it must be the work of Mu Gu. The demonic poison spot and the different fire mutually counteracted each other. If the different fire was activated, the demonic poison spot would erode the body, causing the meridians to vanish. Xiao Yan was currently in such a state. Xiao Yi Xian used her own E Nan Poison Blood to control the demonic poison for Xiao Yan. However, only when the perpetrator of the poisoning, Mu Gu, died would the demonic poison spot on Xiao Yan's body be completely eliminated.
