Yara is tending the Echosong Sect's failing herb fields when leaders find the sect's spiritual energy thin and declare it a heavenly punishment. They accuse Yara of theft and summon her. Instead, Yara revives rare herbs and spiritual beasts; the fields' energy rebounds and others praise her. The master panics as his Spirit Gathering Pill seems about to fail—then abruptly declares, "I finally succeeded in creating it!" The episode ends with the sect split between blame and awe, and Yara's sudden success raising new suspicion and immediate consequences.
