Warning: Spoilers
Bai has cultivated herself for a thousand years and now can take the form as a human. She has a flowing white dress and long hair. She wears long dangly earrings.

Jing Song who is a friendly mouse compliments her appearance and tells her now that she has a human form she can enhance her magic by seducing a human and taking their vitality.

She decides to go to the temple and become a Buddhist. She kneels in front of a Guan Yin statue and prays that she wishes to relinquish her mortal pleasure and follow Buddhism. Guan Yin tells her all forms of life wants to follow the Dao (path) but they have to pass the human trial. Humans have feelings and by overcoming temptations can they "let go the mortal realm" and face enlightenment.

Bai decides to live in the mortal world to learn the meaning of suppressing temptations and become enlightened.

Bai walks through a market where vendors call out what they are selling. I love this scene. She checks out a vendor selling mirrors and makeup and everyone around her stares at her beauty. She has such pale skin and a small face. She transforms into a new dress to blend in with the people.

Xian makes a living as a physician and can tell people's health by their appearance easily.

Bai sees Xian and they stare at each other for a bit.

Ruyi broke her hairpin and Xian pick flowers to put in her hair which she finds unappealing. Bai has a white flower in hers too.

Bai saves the cutest little boy who was trying to get money to help his poor parents. There is evil killing kids and we see it as a black gust of wind.
