Bai Ping and Situ Ming, the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial respectively, had come to receive the party from the sect that had gone to participate in the Alchemy Conference because Situ Ming, the prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had sent them a Communication Celestial Talisman. Through the talisman, Situ Ming had told them about the death of He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, during the Alchemy Conference and that they would be returning with the party from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
Upon receiving the Communication Celestial Talisman, Bai Ping brought Tie Tai He to the border to wait for Duan Ling Tian and the others' return. They waited at the border of the Wasteland and the Barren Land for three days before Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived.
