Episode 6 recap: Bai Li Dong Jun's Drunken Sword Breakthrough

In Episode 6, Bai Li Dong Jun is determined to master the sword after witnessing many skilled fighters in the Sword Forest. His master advises him that learning the sword requires a calm mind and fearlessness when facing enemies. Meanwhile, Yue Yao in Northern Qi reflects on the suffering of the people due to the war. She realizes that even though Northern Qi has been liberated, the loved ones they lost cannot be returned, causing her to question the meaning of her efforts.

Wen Jiu Hu receives a message from his father, vowing to protect his sister and nephew Bai Li Dong Jun. Bai Li Dong Jun drinks alone at night, reminiscing about Si Kong Chang Feng. Coincidentally, Si Kong Chang Feng has been saved from a deadly poison by the renowned physician Xin Bai Nian, who becomes intrigued by Si Kong Chang Feng's tenacious vitality and decides to take him as a disciple.

Under his father's strict guidance, Bai Li Dong Jun begins sword training, but progress is slow. One day, he attempts to practice while drunk and unexpectedly discovers a surge in his inner strength, successfully splitting a straw dummy and astonishing all present. Wen Jiu Hu realizes that Bai Li Dong Jun's inner power is activated when he is intoxicated and warns him to be careful.

When Bai Li Dong Jun's master is playing the zither under a peach tree, Xiao Ruo Feng suddenly arrives, claiming to come on behalf of the court. The master immediately draws his sword in response, and Xiao Ruo Feng demonstrates his own sword skills. Concerned, Bai Li Dong Jun prepares to go assist his master, but at that moment, Bai Li Cheng Feng's forces clash with the Heavenly Outsiders, leaving Bai Li Cheng Feng injured and Xiao Ruo Feng defeated. Realizing his time is running short, the master decides to pass on his sword techniques to his young disciple, Bai Li Dong Jun.

Despite the many challenges Bai Li Dong Jun faces on his path to mastering the sword, he perseveres with unwavering determination and gradually reveals his natural talent. He also navigates the conflicts within his family and the jianghu, but remains steadfast in his beliefs, striving to become a truly valuable individual.
