In this chapter, we learn that the opening battle of the tianqi martial arts tournament is going to be a bloody one. It's going to feature independent cultivators, such as zhao dun and fei fei, against disciples of the strict Xuanyin sect. The opening battle will be a blood-soaked one, which is a good omen, according to fei. The main skill that fei excels at is defending the earth element, so he's glad to have blood on his hands. . After the first battle, every disciple of the sect will be planted with a "zombie rune" onto their body. This zombie rune will then begin to send "yin energy" into their host body, which will eventually make their body "decay and rot" and eventually meet a "miserable end" . The only way to solve this problem is to give each disciple an elixir of "invigorating fire" every year. Each pill will keep the disciples safe for one year, so they'll be able to return to the sect only when they're ready to go back. The elixir will keep them safe from the undead rune, but it won't keep them out of the house for long, so it's a good idea to give them an elixir to keep them in the house.
