History Recap / ChuanShuZiJiuZhiNanEpisode4

After saving a character who was originally supposed to die as canon fodder, Shen Yuan soon gets to the subplot where the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect faces an invasion from the demon realm.

* AdaptationDeviation: Although the novel includes a brief narration about Shen Yuan's comments on Liu Qingge's appearance, he never expressed said thoughts out loud. He does in the ''donghua'', which results in a hilarious exchange between the two.

* ButThouMust: The System warns that Luo Binghe must participate in a single battle against the Demon Realm, or Shen Yuan will die.
* CurbStompBattle: The fight between Shen Yuan and Elder One-Arm ends completely in the former's favor. Even during the fight, Shen Yuan was casually dodging the latter's attacks without breaking a sweat.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Shen Yuan remarks out loud that he didn't expect Liu Qingge to look like a PrettyBoy, which quickly confuses Liu Qingge. Shen Yuan then backtracks and says that he thought Liu Qingge would be more of the rugged but handsome type, which just unsettles the latter even further.
* EasilyForgiven: Played with. When Shen Yuan tells Liu Qingge that they should bury their past grudges and start anew, Liu Qingge remains wary of him and tells him to piss off. However, he does acknowledge that Shen Yuan saved his life, and the fact that three years passed with the two meditating in the same cave in peace hints that Liu Qingge accepted the olive branch given to him.
* ExactWords: When Sha Hualing suggests that Shen Yuan cuts off one arm so that his fight against Elder One-Arm would be fair, Shen Yuan counters that he won't use either of his arms during the fight instead. He does keep to his word, since he doesn't need to use his hands to wield Xiu Ya.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: Although she makes a brief cameo in the first episode during the sequence explaining what happened in the novel's original canon, the viewer gets their first glimpse of Sha Hualing in Shen Yuan's canon by showing her legs and feet.
* GlorySeeker: While Sha Hualing claims that she's "paying a visit" to the Cang Qiong Mountain Sect for civil reasons, Shen Yuan knows that her real motive is to attain fame.
* HeIsAllGrownUp: Considering that Shen Yuan cultivated in seclusion for three years, it makes sense that his disciples are taller and have more mature features by the time they're reappear again.
* IncitingIncident: According to Shen Yuan' Shen Qingqiu's reputation worsened after he murdered Liu Qingge.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Shen Yuan comments on how three years of meditating flew by so fast that in a TV show, such scenes would be shown for around ten seconds.
* LostInTranslation: When Shen Yuan wonders why Liu Qingge looks so "young and cute", the words he actually used translate to "small white face". Contextually speaking, it does mean "PrettyBoy", but it's also a slang for "male prostitute".
* PowerHigh: Downplayed. After winning the first bout of the duel with total ease, Shen Yuan remarks that he now understands Shen Qingqiu's arrogance.
* PrecisionFStrike: When Shen Yuan wonders if he was powerful enough to brush off an attack from Liu Qingge, the latter uses a rather crass translation of "Nonsense!" (仿皮) in response. A closer translation for the word would be "bullshit".
* TookALevelInBadass: After three years' worth of cultivating by meditation, Shen Yuan's powers have significantly increased to the extent that he's able to defeat any of the demons that sieged Qiong Ding Peak without breaking a sweet.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The only reason Shen Yuan had the upper hand in his brief clash with Liu Qingge was because the latter's spiritual energy was highly unstable at the time.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Shen Yuan remarks out loud that he didn't expect Liu Qingge to look like a Pretty Boy, which quickly confuses Liu Qingge. Shen Yuan then backtracks and says that he thought Liu Qingge would be more of the rugged but handsome type, which just unsettles the latter even further.
