Yan Shoujing’s Spirit Cloud Fruit scheme caused explosions across several demonic sects, prompting Wu Xingyun to order him to lie low. Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe learned that Wan Lin was troubled and eagerly offered to help after hearing her story.

• Yan Shoujing suggested that Spirit Cloud Fruit increased the Spirit Explosion Ball’s power, so Wu Xingyun had Demonic Shadow Sect artifact refiners test the idea and three masters died in an explosion.
• Other demonic sects suffered similar explosions after using blueprints from the Vast Heaven Sect’s garbage dump, and their representatives accused Wu Xingyun of betraying them.
• Wu Xingyun shared the genuine blueprints to calm the other sects, then told Yan Shoujing to stop making moves and remain hidden.
• Yan Shoujing resolved to plan carefully before attempting to burn down the Vast Heaven Sect’s Technique Repository Tower.
• Chu Xinghe visited Wan Lin at Hill Forest Palace, pressed her to explain her troubles, and eagerly offered to arrange a solution after hearing her story.

• Wan Lin explained how her mother had raised her to survive the Wan Lineage’s power struggles and how the Zhou Medical Hall was now attacking the family.
• Wan Lin said she could not ask the Vast Heaven Sect to intervene, but Chu Xinghe declared that he would help her and gave her his disciple token to command the Chamber of Commerce’s northern branch.
• Chu Xinghe took Wan Lin to the Medicine King Palace and interrupted the grand elder’s medicine refinement to explain his plan.
• The grand elder told Chu Xinghe to make his own decisions about such trivial matters, and Chu Xinghe left with Wan Lin.
• Wan Lin struggled to understand why the grand elder had reacted that way, then saw something that bewildered her even more.

• Chu Xinghe asked Feng Fei to mobilize Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce resources, and Feng Fei agreed while explaining that the support was Chu Xinghe’s personal decision, not a sect precedent.
• Medicine King Palace disciples offered to go to Cloud City, but Chu Xinghe refused and limited the sect’s aid to resources.
• The sect master watched Chu Xinghe’s actions with suspicion, while the deputy sect master strongly supported him and Yan Shoujing welcomed the costly intervention as an opportunity to weaken the sect.
• Wan Lin left for Cloud City carrying Chu Xinghe’s disciple token as the Wan Lineage’s stewards urged Li Yunxian to compromise with Zhou Medical Hall.
• Li Yunxian dismissed the stewards and faced the possible loss of the lineage her late husband had entrusted to her.
• Wan Lin arrived in Cloud City determined to use Chu Xinghe’s backing to protect her mother and help the Wan Lineage defeat the Zhou Clan.

Wan Lin returned to the failing Wan estate and announced that she would solve the Lineage’s crisis using Chu Xinghe’s disciple token. Wan Xianglun took the token to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, where a steward recognized Chu Xinghe’s name and reacted with excitement.

• Wan Lin returned to the Wan estate as its servants faced the Lineage’s decline and Li Yunxian worried about her involvement.
• Wan Xianglun asked Wan Lin to help her younger brother enter the Vast Heaven Sect, but Wan Lin ignored his request.
• Wan Lin declared that she would deal with the Lineage’s crisis and showed everyone Chu Xinghe’s disciple token.
• Wan Lin gave the token to Wan Xianglun and told him to demand the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce support the Wan Lineage at any cost.

Wan Xianglun brought Chu Xinghe’s disciple token to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, where it prompted the northern branch to pledge full support for the Wan Lineage. After Wan Lin explained Chu Xinghe’s standing in the sect, her mother asked whether he liked her, and Wan Lin misunderstood before realizing what she meant.

• Wan Xianglun asked the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce to help the Wan Lineage and offered Chu Xinghe’s disciple token when told an elder’s token was required.
• The junior steward recognized Chu Xinghe’s name and rushed the token to Sima Bian, who promised to provide the Wan Lineage with whatever people and resources it needed.

• Li Yunxian asked whether Chu Xinghe liked Wan Lin, and Wan Lin initially answered yes before realizing her mother meant romantically.

Wan Lin’s return transformed the Wan Lineage’s fortunes after Chu Xinghe and the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce supplied it with resources, but the Zhou Medical Hall retaliated by slashing pill prices. Chu Xinghe answered by ordering the Vast Heaven Sect to cut its prices too, eager to take losses in the escalating contest.

• Wan Lin explained to Li Yunxian that she admired Chu Xinghe and had no hope of pursuing him, and Li Yunxian learned how generously he had helped their Lineage.
• Sima Bian delivered scarce resources from the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, and the Vast Heaven Sect later sent the Wan Lineage vast quantities of spirit stones and supplies on Chu Xinghe’s orders.
• The Wan Lineage recovered its resources and poached back people from the Zhou Medical Hall, while Zhou Fengshan learned that Chu Xinghe was behind the support.
• Feng Fei told Chu Xinghe that powers backing the Zhou Medical Hall had retaliated by cutting low-grade pill prices and flooding the market with cheap pills.
• Chu Xinghe ordered Feng Fei to lower the Vast Heaven Sect’s prices and fight the Zhou Medical Hall, welcoming the prospect of losses.

The Vast Heaven Sect agreed to let Chu Xinghe direct its response to the Zhou Medical Hall after its elders rejected a settlement that blamed him for the conflict. Zhou Fengshan received the sect’s reply, which contained only the word “Fight!”

• Gu Mingchao and the Vast Heaven Sect’s elders discussed the Zhou Medical Hall’s backing from numerous powers, and the Grand Elder predicted it would soon make peace.
• A spirit bird delivered the Zhou Medical Hall’s offer of an apology, a million spirit stones, and a promise to leave the Wan Lineage alone, but it blamed Chu Xinghe for running amok.
• The Vast Heaven Sect’s leaders rejected the offer’s insult to Chu Xinghe and decided to leave the conflict in his hands.
• Gu Mingchao ordered the sect to follow Chu Xinghe’s directions, while Yan Shoujing realized how highly the sect regarded him.
• Zhou Fengshan opened the Vast Heaven Sect’s reply and found the word “Fight!”

Zhou Fengshan’s attempt to make peace by blaming Chu Xinghe provoked the Vast Heaven Sect into a pill war with Zhou Medical Hall. As the price battle spread, Zheng Yu sold Martial Emperor City’s shares in Zhou Medical Hall, while Chu Xinghe remained confident that fortune and misfortune would turn the contest to his advantage.

• Zhou Fengshan learned that calling Chu Xinghe reckless had turned his peace offering into a declaration of war, so he mobilized the Zhou Lineage for a pill war.
• The Vast Heaven Sect began selling high-quality pills at Zhou Medical Hall’s prices, and Zhou Medical Hall answered by cutting its prices further.
• Chu Xinghe welcomed the price war and ordered the Vast Heaven Sect to keep competing, while Rogue Cultivators celebrated the cheap pills and other major powers worried about the sect’s losses.
• Zheng Yu ordered Martial Emperor City’s stewards to sell the gifted shares in Zhou Medical Hall, trusting Chu Xinghe’s record despite their objections.
• Chu Xinghe resolved not to disappoint the Vast Heaven Sect and expected his fortune and misfortune, along with his lucky generals, to produce a surprise.

Chu Xinghe struggled to find a way to keep the Vast Heaven Sect from losing its pill war with Zhou Medical Hall, while Ma Liang independently turned the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation’s spirits into tireless pill refiners. Yan Shoujing and Wu Xingyun were convinced Zhou Medical Hall would win, but the chapter left Chu Xinghe puzzled by the Misfortune Compass’s silence as the grand elder demanded his backup plan.

• Yan Shoujing told Wu Xingyun that Chu Xinghe had no backup plan, prompting the Demonic Sect to buy most of Zhou Medical Hall’s dividend shares.
• Chu Xinghe promised his fellow disciples and Yan Shoujing that he would fight Zhou Medical Hall, though he privately believed the Vast Heaven Sect was headed for defeat.
• Ma Liang interpreted Chu Xinghe’s message about ghosts as a plan to use the Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, then trained its fierce ghosts to refine low-grade pills continuously.
• Yan Shoujing assured Wu Xingyun that Chu Xinghe had no hidden strategy, while the Medicine King Palace’s pill supplies ran out and the Vast Heaven Sect struggled to keep up with Zhou Medical Hall.
• The grand elder urged Chu Xinghe to use his backup plan, but Chu Xinghe found the Misfortune Compass unresponsive and promised he would make a move despite having no plan.

The Demonic Sect bought up the Vast Heaven Sect’s low-grade pills and spread rumors that the supply had run out, driving customers back to Zhou Medical Hall. Ma Liang then arrived with wagonloads of pills on Chu Xinghe’s orders, leaving Chu baffled when the sect’s leaders congratulated him on a backup plan he did not know about.

• The Demonic Sect bought every low-grade pill the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce offered and pushed customers toward Zhou Medical Hall.
• Zheng Yu urged Martial Emperor City’s managers to stay calm because Chu Xinghe had not admitted defeat.
• Ma Liang arrived at the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce with the Haotian Caravan and restocked it with wagonloads of low-grade pills.
• Customers rushed back to the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, while the Demonic Sect failed to buy up its seemingly inexhaustible supply.
• Shen Chun summoned Chu Xinghe to Haotian Palace, where Gu Mingchao and the Grand Elder praised his backup plan and showed him a message from a spirit bird.

Ma Liang used the ghosts in the Fengdu Grand Formation to mass-produce low-grade pills, letting the Vast Heaven Sect crush the Zhou Medical Hall’s price war. As the sect celebrated and Ma Liang was promoted, Chu Xinghe’s Misfortune Compass turned backward and sharply reduced his cultivation.

• Chu Xinghe learned that Ma Liang had set the Fengdu Grand Formation’s ghosts to refining pills, and the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce used their output to restock its branches.
• The Vast Heaven Sect’s plentiful, low-cost Ten Thousand Ghosts brand pills overwhelmed the Zhou Medical Hall, leaving Deputy Sect Master Yan Shoujing stunned and the sect’s leaders celebrating.
• The grand elder awarded Ma Liang a promotion to personal disciple and placed him under Yan Shoujing.
• Wu Xingyun realized the Zhou Medical Hall had been ruined and blamed Yan Shoujing and Tantai Jing for the Demonic Sect’s losses.
• Chu Xinghe’s Misfortune Compass turned backward and reduced his cultivation from near the middle of the sixth grade to the point where he had just entered it.

Chu Xinghe realized that the Misfortune Compass brought calamities whenever he successfully helped the Vast Heaven Sect, so he began causing losses to keep his fellow disciples safe. When the grand elder announced the sect would pursue the Formless Heart Sutra at an auction, Chu Xinghe planned to make the sect bid an absurdly high price.

• Chu Xinghe traced recent accidents at the sect to the Misfortune Compass’s backlash and found that causing small losses stopped its reversal and the strange misfortunes.
• Yan Shoujing agreed to pause his efforts after Wu Xingyun urged him to give the battered Demonic Sect time to recover, while privately vowing to strike the Vast Heaven Sect later.
• Chu Xinghe checked on Ouyang Ming and learned that the injured disciples at the Medicine King Palace had recovered.
• The grand elder told Chu Xinghe that the Formless Heart Sutra had resurfaced and ordered him to accompany the sect to its auction in half a month.
• Chu Xinghe decided to drive up the bidding so the Vast Heaven Sect would suffer a crushing financial loss and avoid further backlash from the Misfortune Compass.

Chu Xinghe traveled with the Grand Elder to Golden Crow City for the Formless Heart Sutra auction, enduring disastrous teleportation detours while eagerly anticipating the other factions’ competition. After learning that Feng Fei’s wedding had been moved up, Chu Xinghe volunteered to plan an extravagantly expensive celebration, and the chapter ended with him delighted to discover that the major powers had united for the auction.

• Chu Xinghe encountered Feng Fei, learned his wedding to the Wuj iang Holy Maiden Jiuli had been moved up, and offered to plan a lavish ceremony.
• Ouyang Ling secretly drugged Chu Xinghe’s water, but Ouyang Ming secretly added the antidote, leaving Chu Xinghe drinking the strange mixture without understanding why.
• The Grand Elder used a teleportation array that sent Chu Xinghe through a primeval forest and an icy river before they finally reached Golden Crow City after midnight.
• The next morning, Haotian Courtyard’s deacons briefed the Grand Elder and Chu Xinghe on the auction, and Chu Xinghe was thrilled to learn that the major factions had joined forces against the Vast Heaven Sect.

Chu Xinghe learned that Martial Emperor City had joined the alliance bidding against the Vast Heaven Sect, then discovered Zheng Yu had already profited by withdrawing from Zhou Medical Hall. Zhao Zhihang challenged him to a formation contest, and Chu Xinghe’s admission that he was inexperienced convinced Zhao he would win.

• Chu Xinghe read that Martial Emperor City had joined the sect alliance opposing the Vast Heaven Sect’s bid for the Formless Heart Sutra.
• Zheng Yu thanked Chu Xinghe and explained that Martial Emperor City had sold its Zhou Medical Hall shares early, avoiding losses and earning a profit.
• Zheng Yu introduced Zhao Zhihang of the Profound Mystery Sect, whose sect had suffered heavy losses from Zhou Medical Hall’s collapse.
• Zhao Zhihang challenged Chu Xinghe to compete in formations, hoping to defeat Yan Shoujing’s disciple and help his own master.
• Chu Xinghe said he had studied formations for only a few months and declined the challenge, but Zhao Zhihang took his words as proof that victory was assured.

Chu Xinghe competed against Zhao Zhihang in formation inscription, intending to make a fool of himself but completing all three formations in moments. A white-bearded elder identified his astonishing ability as the legendary Innate Formation Mastery.

• Zhao Zhihang challenged Chu Xinghe to a formation contest, and the Grand Elder approved it, hoping a loss would motivate Chu Xinghe to study harder.
• Zhao Zhihang swiftly inscribed the Lightning Light Formation, the Six Directions Formation, and the Li Water Formation while Chu Xinghe waited.
• Chu Xinghe created the Lightning Light Formation with a wave of his hand, stunning the onlookers with his speed.
• Chu Xinghe also completed the Six Directions Formation and Li Water Formation in moments, leaving Zhao Zhihang speechless.
• A white-bearded elder declared that Chu Xinghe possessed the legendary Innate Formation Mastery.

Chu Xinghe defeated Zhao Zhihang in a formation contest by revealing that his Innate Formation Mastery gave his formations heavenly might as Array Souls and allowed them to fuse. Zhao Zhihang accepted the loss as a valuable lesson and ended up comforting Chu Xinghe, who was left bewildered.

• Chu Xinghe formed three formations with a casual wave, stunning the audience and revealing his Innate Formation Mastery.
• Zhao Zhihang noticed Chu Xinghe's formations seemed to lack Array Souls and proposed that their formations clash to decide the winner.
• Chu Xinghe's heavenly-might Array Soul destroyed Zhao Zhihang's Lightning Light Formation, then his three formations fused and overwhelmed Zhao Zhihang's remaining formations.
• Hu Chengjin jumped into the fused formation to experience its power and announced that Array Fusion doubled the formations' strength.
• Zhao Zhihang thanked Chu Xinghe for the lesson and urged him to keep improving, leaving Chu Xinghe baffled by the loser's encouragement.

After Chu Xinghe’s natural talent for formations became known, Zhao Zhihang thanked him for inspiring his breakthrough, while Yan Shoujing struggled to hide his true intentions from the Vast Heaven Sect. At the Golden Crow Auction House, Chu Xinghe discovered that the Formless Heart Sutra was incomplete and saw a chance to spend heavily on it to offset the cultivation he had lost to the Misfortune Compass.

• Zhao Zhihang’s master, Zhang Zhi, learned that Chu Xinghe had an extraordinary talent for formations and was sent away after discovering his disciple had lost cheerfully.
• Zhang Zhi and Hu Chengjin spread news of Chu Xinghe’s talent, and Gu Mingchao confronted Yan Shoujing, who claimed he had kept it secret to encourage Chu Xinghe to work harder.
• Zhao Zhihang thanked Chu Xinghe for inspiring him to break through his bottleneck and said Zhang Zhi had urged him to learn from Chu Xinghe.
• The Grand Elder took Chu Xinghe to the Golden Crow Auction House to inspect a portion of the Formless Heart Sutra before the auction.
• Jin Wuyu revealed that the Formless Heart Sutra was incomplete, angering the faction leaders but delighting Chu Xinghe, who planned to buy it at great expense to recover his lost cultivation.

Jin Wuyu’s candid description of the incomplete Formless Heart Sutra repeatedly undermined its sale, while Chu Xinghe tried and failed to make it sound appealing. The grand elder still believed the technique was worth pursuing, leaving the Vast Heaven Sect with a chance to bid despite its flaws.

• Jin Wuyu explained that the Jin Clan had possessed the Formless Heart Sutra for over a century but could not complete it, and that thirty percent was missing, including all its circulation routes.
• Chu Xinghe tried to reassure the gathered buyers that powerful sects might complete the technique and urged Jin Wuyu to emphasize its advantages.
• Jin Wuyu revealed that the Jin Clan’s attempts to reconstruct the circulation routes had caused Qi deviation and heavy losses, shocking the buyers and leaving Chu Xinghe unable to defend the technique.
• After the presentation, Jin Wuyu thanked Chu Xinghe, who privately blamed the Jin Clan for ruining his plans to buy the technique at a high price.
• The grand elder told Chu Xinghe that the flawed Formless Heart Sutra remained a supreme treasure and that the sects might still compete for the chance to complete it.

At the Golden Crow Auction, Chu Xinghe bid ten million spirit stones for the incomplete Formless Heart Sutra, leaving the other sects convinced he had foolishly overpaid. The Misfortune Compass finally turned forward, and Chu Xinghe believed he had ended the sect’s misfortune, though he planned to discard the impossible-to-complete sutra later.

• Chu Xinghe regretted that the alliance against the Vast Heaven Sect had disbanded, then spent nearly a million spirit stones on more than twenty auction lots.
• Jin Wuyu presented the Formless Heart Sutra with an elaborate tale of its origins and announced a starting price of one hundred thousand spirit stones.
• As bids for the Formless Heart Sutra climbed to two million, Chu Xinghe bid ten million, and the auction ended without another offer.
• The grand elder concluded that Chu Xinghe must know how to complete the sutra, while other sects mocked him for overpaying and Zheng Yu recognized Chu Xinghe’s gift for understanding cultivation techniques.
• When Jin Wuyu delivered the Formless Heart Sutra and collected payment, the Misfortune Compass began turning forward, and Chu Xinghe celebrated before planning to throw the sutra away.

After Chu Xinghe spent ten million spirit stones on the unusable Formless Heart Sutra, he persuaded the Vast Heaven Sect’s elders to investigate it, hoping they would confirm it could not be completed. Elder He volunteered to try to complete the dangerous technique, leaving Chu Xinghe anxiously wondering whether his plan was about to fail.

• Jin Wuyu escorted Chu Xinghe from the auction house after the Formless Heart Sutra sold for ten million spirit stones, while Chu Xinghe regretted that the bids had not gone higher.
• The Great Elder took Chu Xinghe through a series of teleportation trials before bringing him back to the Vast Heaven Sect, where Chu Xinghe reported the purchase to Gu Mingchao and the vice sect master.
• Yan Shoujing passed the Formless Heart Sutra to Wu Xingyun, whose disciples suffered fatal Qi deviation while trying to complete its circulation routes.
• Chu Xinghe warned the Vast Heaven Sect elders that letting lower-level disciples test the advanced technique could kill them, and proposed that the elders attempt to complete it instead.
• Elder He volunteered to complete the Formless Heart Sutra, and Chu Xinghe worried that Elder He might actually succeed.

Chu Xinghe worried as Elder He tried to master the Formless Heart Sutra, while Ouyang Ling's attempts to drug Xinghe failed to wake him. The chapter left Elder He suffering a violent backlash after Ouyang Ling secretly gave him a potent dose of medicine.

• Ouyang Ling gave Chu Xinghe a spiked drink, but he slept soundly, and Ouyang Ming revealed he had prepared an antidote to counter her plan.
• Chu Xinghe found Elder He studying the Formless Heart Sutra at the Artifact Refining Palace and urged him not to risk Qi deviation, but Elder He insisted he was close to mastering it.
• Chu Xinghe visited Feng Fei and promised to make his wedding to Jiuli extravagant, then received lessons in formations from Yan Shoujing, who secretly taught him unstable methods.
• Ouyang Ling, frustrated that her medicine had no effect on Chu Xinghe, mixed all of it into a thick drink and brought it to Elder He as ginseng tea.
• After drinking the medicine, Elder He resumed practicing the Formless Heart Sutra, suffered a surge of wicked fire, and spat blood, mistaking the backlash for the technique's power.

Chu Xinghe tried to stop Elder He from studying the Formless Heart Sutra as its backlash worsened, but the Grand Elder let him continue. Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe’s attempts to sabotage Ouyang Ming’s artifact forging instead helped him produce increasingly powerful weapons, so Chu Xinghe turned to studying formations with Yan Shoujing.

• Elder He endured increasingly severe backlash from the Formless Heart Sutra, while Ouyang Ling supplied him with thick ginseng tea.
• Chu Xinghe told Ouyang Ming to change his forging methods, and Ouyang Ming produced a quasi-divine artifact after Chu Xinghe’s successive pointers.
• Chu Xinghe asked the Grand Elder to stop Elder He’s research, but the Grand Elder trusted Elder He’s cultivation and allowed him to continue.
• Chu Xinghe avoided the Artifact Refining Palace and went to Haotian Palace to study formations with Yan Shoujing, who was pleased that Chu Xinghe made no progress.

Chu Xinghe discovered that Flying Locust could form shifting formations in midair, turning it into a powerful new fighting method. The news spread through the Vast Heaven Sect while Chu Cheng’s hoped-for comeback was delayed by another beating.

• Yan Shoujing told Chu Xinghe that his Innate Formation Mastery might let him make formations move, though Yan Shoujing could not teach him how.
• Chu Xinghe visited Elder He, who said the Formless Heart Sutra’s dangerous nighttime backlash was worsening and that he had not found its correct cultivation route.
• Ouyang Ming explained how Flying Locust could split into countless swords and form patterns, giving Chu Xinghe the insight to use it as moving spirit stones.
• Chu Xinghe made Flying Locust form shifting formations, including the Lightning Light Formation, and astonished the Artifact Refining Palace.
• Word of the Flying Locust Sword Formation spread throughout the Vast Heaven Sect, and its disciples celebrated Chu Xinghe’s breakthrough.
• Chu Cheng declared that he would make a comeback and take revenge, but Liu Bo and the others heard him and beat him again.

Chu Xinghe’s Flying Locust let him carry changing sword formations, potentially even the Vast Heaven Sect’s mountain-guarding formation, and the sect publicly celebrated Yan Shoujing’s guidance. The announcement alarmed Wu Xingyun, who ordered Yan to focus only on teaching Xinghe while Tantai Jing began the Demonic Sect’s Fishing Plan.

• Chu Xinghe demonstrated how Flying Locust’s sword shadows carried formations that followed him and could change at a thought, astonishing the leaders in Haotian Palace.
• The grand elder praised Yan Shoujing for guiding Chu Xinghe, while Chu Xinghe sincerely thanked Yan and Yan privately despaired over the sect’s mistaken admiration.
• Gu Mingchao and the elders publicized Chu Xinghe’s achievement, and the grand elder sent a notice to the Demonic Sect; Zheng Yu read it and praised Yan’s guidance.
• Wu Xingyun confronted Yan Shoujing, accepted his explanation, and ordered him to stop scheming and concentrate on teaching Chu Xinghe.
• Wu Xingyun instructed Tantai Jing to begin the Fishing Plan, and Tantai vowed to target Chu Xinghe with a new strategy.
• The Vast Heaven Sect held a feast for Yan Shoujing and Chu Xinghe, and Yan wept as the gathered disciples repeatedly toasted him.

Chu Xinghe took charge of planning Feng Fei and Jiuli’s wedding, proposing an extravagantly costly celebration that stunned the couple. When Jiuli cooked for them, Ouyang Ming tried her food and collapsed, and Chu Xinghe discovered it was even worse than poison.

• Chu Xinghe met the Wuj iang Holy Mother and Jiuli at Haotian Palace, where Gu Mingchao and the Grand Elder entrusted him with planning Feng Fei and Jiuli’s wedding.
• Chu Xinghe insisted the wedding should be lavish, proposing a ten-thousand-person teleportation trip to fetch Jiuli and extravagant celebrations and gifts.
• Feng Fei and Jiuli were stunned by Chu Xinghe’s plans, while Chu Xinghe promised to cover every detail and expense.
• Jiuli cooked more than a dozen dishes and invited Ouyang Ming to sample them.
• Ouyang Ming ate Jiuli’s food, froze, and collapsed, crying that it was poisoned; Chu Xinghe tasted a leaf of greens and realized it was worse than poison.
