Chapter Summaries

Lin Xuan investigated the mutated Demonic Beasts in the Yutong Realm and suspected their faint demonic qi was connected to Qin Yan and the Outer-Domain Heavenly Demons. He set aside his plans to search for treasures and cultivation aids, heading instead to Baisuan Pavilion to check on the people he cared about.

• Lin Xuan gave the big man an Illusion Heart Pill before leaving, and the couple recognized it as a treasure that could help him reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

On the way, Lin Xuan searched the Flying Devil Lord’s Storage Bag and found powerful spirit talismans, unfamiliar pills, and a black Jade Slip.
