Episode 3 recap: "Ling Zhi spirit escapes.

Today, A Jiu received a strange female patient. As soon as the woman sat down, she suddenly grabbed A Jiu's hand while he was taking her pulse and placed it on her chest, complaining of chest tightness and asking A Jiu to take a look. Startled, A Jiu quickly withdrew his hand. When he tried to take her pulse again, his mind wandered because he was preoccupied with Blue's situation. This made the woman think that her condition was dire, causing her face to lose color.

It turned out that the woman was a transformed Wutou spirit. She had set her eyes on the Bailing mushroom on the consultation table and intended to take it away. However, she didn't expect that Blue could now perform magic without assuming human form, which caught her off guard. Wutou speculated that it was because A Jiu's abundant spiritual energy nourished Blue, and she eagerly desired to obtain A Jiu for herself.

Blue believed that he had absorbed a considerable amount of A Jiu's spiritual energy, so he prepared a medicinal bath to replenish A Jiu's energy. Just as she was about to step into the bathtub and take a bath with A Jiu, Han Ye suddenly came looking for A Jiu. He almost revealed that A Jiu was Jiu Ming, but fortunately, Han Ye quickly reacted and used the excuse of his elderly mother falling ill to seek medical help. This provided them with an opportunity to meet privately. Han Ye informed A Jiu that a major incident had occurred in the Shangqing Bureau, as Ling Zhi spirit had escaped from the hidden medicine cabinet.

Prince Ye, upon seeing A Jiu at the Shangqing Bureau, deliberately shot an arrow to test A Jiu's skills. They discussed the case and agreed that the severely injured Ling Zhi spirit must have had help from an outsider to escape. A Jiu recalled Blue at home, so he borrowed the hidden medicine cabinet intending to put Blue inside. However, Blue immobilized him during the operation."
