After lazing around in the Eternal Night Valley for a while and designing several prototype lights to mimic the sun to no avail, Anji had to leave for the Mystical Qilin Mountains. From here, the journey would have to continue on a horse without the carriage. Mingshen and Bai Dajin would ride their own horses, but Anji would travel with Gu Ying as she was still too small to ride her own horse.
Bidding goodbye to Wei Zhen, who had gotten very attached to them after Anji's first successful spiritual operation, Mingshen promised to return the next month after escorting his sister. Anji told Wei Zhen not to push himself too hard and fully recover from the delicate operation before training because she would be unable to return to the Eternal Night Valley for a few years due to 'school'. The earnest man did not question anything and wished for Anji's studies to progress smoothly. The young girl was smart, so he had complete faith that she would do well in her academic pursuits.
