• Ning Tianchen discovered that his Seven Kill Sword had mutated, and Chen Xin explained that future dragon-type soul rings could help it evolve into the Dragon Mark Seven Kill Sword.

Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong were trapped by spirit beasts in Thunderclap Canyon, prompting Gu Rong to join Chen Xin and drive them off.

Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin shared his suspicions about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, leaving Ning Tianchen to hear that the matter concerned him and Ning Rong Rong.

• Ning Tianchen completed his spirit ring absorption and discovered that he had gained the Sword Wings External Soul Bone and the Third Spirit Ability Sword Wings Soaring.
• Chen Xin sensed a nearby natural treasure, and he, Ning Tianchen, and Ke Jie found Beast Attracting Grass in an underground cavern.
• Ke Jie identified signs of an Earth Dragon, and Chen Xin concluded that the Beast Attracting Grass might explain the surge of powerful soul beasts in Thunderclap Canyon before taking the herb.
• Ning Tianchen reported his findings to Ning Fengzhi, who invited him to stay as Chen Xin discussed suspicions involving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Chen Xin argued that Ning Tianchen and Rong Rong would surpass Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin because of their Innate Full Soul Power.

• Ning Tianchen stalled Ning Rongrong by saying he would enter cultivation retreat, then Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo arrived for the family banquet.

At the family banquet, Chen Xin made Ning Tianchen his god-grandson, while Ning Fengzhi planned for him and Ning Rongrong to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ning Tianchen left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to catch up with Ning Rongrong and explore the continent, carrying travel funds from Ning Fengzhi. Ning Rongrong reached Barack City first, and the chapter left Ning Tianchen entering the city after paying the guard’s fee.

• Chen Xin reproached Ning Fengzhi for letting Ning Rongrong leave without telling Ning Tianchen, and Ning Fengzhi urged Ning Tianchen to follow her and gain experience.
• Ning Tianchen accepted Ning Rongrong’s letter and Ning Fengzhi’s travel funds, then set out toward Barack City on foot.
• Ning Rongrong reached Barack City, waited at a hotel for two days, realized she had not told Ning Tianchen where she was staying, and went out to search and shop.
• Ning Tianchen arrived at Barack City and paid one Gold Soul Coin to a guard to enter.

Ning Tianchen searched Barack City’s marketplace for Ning Rongrong and found a rare book of medicinal herbs that appeared to describe Immortal Herbs. After hearing that Meng Yiran was arguing with a wealthy young girl nearby, he worried the girl might be Ning Rongrong and headed toward the crowd.

• Ning Tianchen visited a book stall, recognized a copy of Yu Xiaogang’s “Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,” and bought it from the old owner.
• Ning Tianchen bought an illustrated herbal compendium from another stall after its owner said it had come from either the Dragon Serpent Family or the Ruan Family.
• Ning Tianchen identified several high-grade herbs in the compendium and suspected that most of its other entries were Immortal Herbs.
• Ning Tianchen heard that Meng Yiran was arguing with a wealthy young girl in the street and wondered if the girl was Ning Rongrong.
