Chapter Summaries

Feng Wu discovered he had transmigrated into the world of Xiao Yan and found himself with mediocre cultivation and no apparent advantage. After killing a chicken for the Xiao Clan’s feast, he awakened a system that granted cultivation experience for killing chickens.

• Feng Wu watched Xiao Yan receive a low cultivation result and learned he had been adopted by the Xiao Clan.
• Feng Wu tested at five stages of Dou Qi, below Xiao Mei and Xiao Xun'er.
• Feng Wu returned to his kitchen job and wondered whether he had a cheat or system.
• Feng Wu killed a chicken and awakened a system that added 0.2 cultivation experience and advanced his Dou Qi circulation.
• Feng Wu checked the chickens remaining in the pen and raised his butcher knife, hoping to gain enough experience to break through.

Feng Wu discovered that his Main Star could generate Dou Qi even after he sealed his body's gateways to the outside world, giving him enormous reserves and the ability to recover power internally. He learned that this ability remained under his control but had limits, and the chapter left him considering how his fragile meridians restricted the power he could unleash.

• Feng Wu sealed his body's Acupoint gateways and found that the Dou Qi in his dantian continued to increase.
• Feng Wu realized that his Main Star generated Dou Qi through a controlled fusion-like process, making him independent of outside energy to replenish himself.
• Feng Wu tested the new ability and calculated that his expanded star core held vastly more Dou Qi than an ordinary Seven Star Dou Emperor's reserves.
• Feng Wu concluded that his meridians limited how much power he could release at once, despite his enormous reserves and Dou Zong-level output.
• Feng Wu discovered that accelerating fusion too far would consume the star core's tangible center and could cause his cultivation to decline.

Feng Wu discovered that he could spend experience points to upgrade items and turned his old butcher's knife into a powerful, sharp blade. After using it to kill chickens and advance to the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi, he headed off to slaughter more livestock for experience.

• Feng Wu noticed that his old Butchering Knife was upgradable and spent 0.5 experience to transform it into a Fine Butchering Knife.
• Feng Wu used the upgraded knife to kill chickens faster and advanced to the Sixth Stage of Dou Qi.
• Feng Wu confirmed that the knife remained upgradable even with his experience bar nearly empty, then killed the seven remaining chickens for 1.4 experience.
• Feng Wu left the servants to pluck the chickens and went to the west courtyard to help slaughter pigs and cattle.

Feng Wu’s cultivation transformed as his dantian developed a fusion-powered core and signs of Wood Attribute life. He secretly advanced Peach Blossom Fire into the second Emperor Flame, empowering fire cultivators across the world and alarming powerful factions.

• Feng Wu’s stellar core continued generating Dou Qi, while seven planets in his dantian developed traces of life from his purified Wood Attribute.
• Feng Wu used his accumulated experience to advance Peach Blossom Fire into an Emperor Flame and suppressed the resulting phenomenon to conceal it.
• Fire-attribute experts and powerful flame wielders across the Doupo Plane sensed Peach Blossom Emperor Flame’s ascension, while fire-attribute cultivation and flames grew stronger.
• The strengthened Fire Attribute disrupted the balance among attributes, giving fire cultivators a major advantage and leaving water cultivators at a disadvantage.
• The Flame Clan and Medicine Clan welcomed the change, while Void Devouring Flame of the Hun Clan and Purification Lotus Demon Flame were among those angered.

Feng Wu used his Butchering Knife to kill livestock for experience and reached 14.5 out of 15 experience, nearly leveling up again. He left the slaughterhouse wondering whether his cultivation techniques and Dou Skills could also be upgraded.

• Feng Wu dodged an enraged Pig King and killed it with his Butchering Knife, gaining 0.7 experience.
• The old master butcher asked whether Feng Wu had reached the sixth stage of Dou Qi, and Feng Wu confirmed that he had recently broken through.
• Feng Wu slaughtered a domestic pig, a sheep, a bull, a crucian carp, and other livestock, discovering that stronger creatures gave more experience.
• Feng Wu slaughtered three cows, five pigs, six sheep, and fifty fish, bringing his experience to 14.5 out of 15.
• The old master butcher stopped Feng Wu from slaughtering more livestock, so Feng Wu left to consider upgrading cultivation techniques and Dou Skills with experience.

Peach Blossom Emperor Flame’s emergence strengthened Void Devouring Flame but sealed its path to becoming an Emperor Flame, prompting it to seek the new flame and devour it. Void Devouring Flame reconsidered its alliance with Hun Tiandi and weighed its chances of taking the Emperor Flame and reaching Dou Di first.

• Peach Blossom Emperor Flame’s appearance made Void Devouring Flame realize that the world’s fire origin had chosen a single Emperor Flame and blocked its own advancement.
• Void Devouring Flame resolved to find and devour Peach Blossom Emperor Flame so it could claim the origin needed to become an Emperor Flame.
• Void Devouring Flame recognized that Hun Tiandi had long planned to control it after reaching Dou Di and had been delaying the delivery of accumulated soul origins.
• After its strength increased by twenty percent, Void Devouring Flame judged that it could challenge Hun Tiandi but still feared the Hun Clan’s hidden methods and home-ground advantage.
• Void Devouring Flame considered gathering Heavenly Flames as an alternative route to Dou Di and hoped Hun Tiandi would help it locate Peach Blossom Emperor Flame while preserving their alliance.

Feng Wu tested whether his system could upgrade battle skills and spent experience to raise Mountain Splitting Palm from Yellow Rank Mid Grade to Yellow Rank High Grade. He discovered the enhanced skill greatly increased his attack power, while another upgrade was too costly for now.

• Feng Wu returned home and remembered his elder sister Xiao Yu, who was away at Canaan Academy.
• Feng Wu used the system to inspect Stone Crushing Palm and Mountain Splitting Palm, learning that their upgrade costs depended on potential and rank.
• Feng Wu spent five experience points to upgrade Mountain Splitting Palm to Yellow Rank High Grade.
• The upgraded skill's diagrams and circulation routes entered Feng Wu's mind, and he smashed a stool with a palm strike.
• Feng Wu judged that the strike was at least twenty percent stronger and could let him contend with someone at the seventh stage of Dou Qi, but he decided against another upgrade because it required twenty-five experience points.

Feng Wu used experience points to raise Mountain Splitting Palm to Minor Completion, greatly increasing his attack power, and planned to earn more by working in a slaughterhouse. He aimed to upgrade Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and grow strong enough to protect the Xiao Clan, while Nalan Yanran’s engagement-breaking visit was due the next day.

• Feng Wu spent experience points to raise Mountain Splitting Palm to Entry Realm and then Minor Completion, gaining precise muscle memory and enough attack power to rival a Dou Qi Level Eight’s basic strike.
• With only two experience points remaining, Feng Wu ruled out hunting magical beasts and planned to earn experience by working at a hotel kitchen or slaughterhouse, then upgrading and selling items.
• Feng Wu set his sights on upgrading Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid before Xiao Yan auctioned it, hoping to gain cultivation experience more quickly.
• Feng Wu remembered that Nalan Yanran would visit the Xiao Clan the next day to break off her engagement and admitted he could not defend the clan with his current strength.
• Feng Wu resolved to grow stronger so he could protect the Xiao Clan and save Xiao Yan’s father, even if doing so meant taking Xiao Yan’s opportunity.

Feng Wu realized his enhanced Soul Power gave him a major cultivation advantage and went to the southern marketplace to seek the Absorption Palm Dou Technique. There he upgraded Blood Replenishing Powder into pseudo Rank 2 pills, gaining a valuable source of wealth, and was about to head to the Mittel Auction House when a peddler announced freshly arrived Magic Crystals.

• Feng Wu gathered his savings and left the Xiao Clan while its members prepared to receive the Yun Lan Sect delegation.
• Feng Wu searched the southern marketplace for the Absorption Palm and found Blood Replenishing Powder instead.
• Feng Wu bought a bottle of Blood Replenishing Powder and used his system to upgrade its contents into pseudo Rank 2 pills.
• Feng Wu discovered the upgrade applied to a whole bottle, bought two more bottles, and upgraded them as well.
• Feng Wu decided to take the pills to the Mittel Auction House, but a nearby peddler began selling Magic Crystals from a First Grade Wood Devouring Fox.

Feng Wu obtained the Absorption Palm inheritance by bargaining with a mercenary, then went to the Mittel Auction House to sell two bottles of Second Grade Rejuvenation Pills. The appraiser examined the pills and asked Feng Wu to confirm their grade.

• Feng Wu spotted the stall selling Green Wood Fox Magic Crystals and discovered that it also held the Absorption Palm inheritance.
• Feng Wu bargained the mercenary down and bought herbs and trinkets, securing the iron plate containing Absorption Palm for ten Gold Coins.
• Feng Wu reviewed the system's evaluation of Absorption Palm, then bought a cloak and mask before heading to the Mittel Auction House.
• Feng Wu gave two bottles of Rejuvenation Pills to the auction house appraiser for evaluation.
• The appraiser examined the pills and asked Feng Wu what grade they were, and Feng Wu said they were Second Grade.

Feng Wu sold his Rejuvenation Pills for ten thousand Gold Coins, then witnessed Xiao Yan annul his engagement with Nalan Yanran and gave him a Mystic-class Dou Technique. After sending Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye away in a cloud of dust, Feng Wu returned to his residence.

• Feng Wu sold his Rejuvenation Pills to the Mittel Auction House for ten thousand Gold Coins.
• Feng Wu arrived at the Xiao Clan and watched Xiao Yan give Nalan Yanran a divorce letter.
• Feng Wu gave Xiao Yan an iron plate containing the Absorption Palm, and Xiao Yan accepted it as a favor owed.
• Feng Wu secretly stirred up dust around Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye as they left the Xiao Clan.
• Ge Ye tried to confront Feng Wu, but Xiao Zhan intervened and ordered Feng Wu to see the guests out.

Feng Wu sent Nalan Yanran and Ge Ye away with a parting insult, then planned how to benefit from Xiao Yan’s future apprenticeship to Yao Chen. Seeking to strengthen himself, he discovered he could gain cultivation experience and battle-skill proficiency by killing livestock with his techniques.

• Feng Wu mocked Nalan Yanran as she departed with Ge Ye, and Ge Ye urged her to return quickly to the Yun Lan Sect.
• Feng Wu considered how to claim a future favor from Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, then decided to focus on reaching the seventh stage of Dou Qi.
• Feng Wu paid three Slaughter Shop owners to let him kill their livestock, hoping to build his strength.
• Feng Wu discovered that killing animals with Mountain Splitting Palm increased both his cultivation experience and the skill’s proficiency.
• Feng Wu visited all three shops and raised his experience to 6.55/15 and his Mountain Splitting Palm proficiency to 3.16/12.

Feng Wu reached Dou Qi Level Seven and raised his Mountain Splitting Palm to Major Completion, then searched the Xiao Clan’s Dou Technique Pavilion for a technique to complement his Absorption Palm. He found nothing before someone noticed his search and asked what kind of Dou Technique he wanted.

• Feng Wu broke through to Dou Qi Level Seven and discovered that his Absorption Palm could pull nearby livestock toward him.
• Feng Wu killed a sheep with his Mountain Splitting Palm, reaching Major Completion, then tested the technique by killing a pig with one strike.
• Feng Wu learned that the experience needed for further cultivation and technique advancement had increased sharply, and he sold strengthened Rejuvenation Pills to build up his Gold Coins.
• Feng Wu visited the Xiao Clan’s Dou Technique Pavilion to look for a technique that would complement the Absorption Palm, but found none among its several hundred techniques.
• Someone noticed Feng Wu flipping through the techniques and asked what kind of Dou Technique he wanted.

Feng Wu asked Xiao Xun'er to find him a Dou Technique that could unleash a powerful outward wind, and she delivered the Profound Rank Mid Grade Cloud Dispelling Palm five days later. After quickly mastering it, Feng Wu combined it with Absorption Palm and discovered their force rivaled his upgraded Mountain Splitting Palm.

• Xiao Xun'er offered to repay Feng Wu for standing up for Xiao Yan, and Feng Wu asked her to find him a Dou Technique that could control and blast wind outward.
• Xiao Xun'er agreed to bring Feng Wu a suitable Dou Technique, while Feng Wu said she should let Xiao Yan repay future favors himself.
• Five days later, Xiao Xun'er delivered the Cloud Dispelling Palm scroll to Feng Wu and left without staying.
• Feng Wu studied and quickly mastered Cloud Dispelling Palm, then combined it with Absorption Palm to snap an apricot tree in half.
• Feng Wu judged the combined technique's power comparable to his Profound Rank Low Grade Mountain Splitting Palm.

Feng Wu upgraded the Mountain Splitting Palm and reached Dou Qi Level Eight before Xiao Yan visited him to seek advice about the Absorption Palm. Xiao Yan and Yao Chen recognized Feng Wu’s rapid growth and suspected he had powerful backing, while Feng Wu remained wary of getting close to Xiao Yan.

• Feng Wu spent experience points to raise the Mountain Splitting Palm to Mysterious Rank Low Grade and his cultivation to Dou Qi Level Eight.
• Xiao Yan arrived at Feng Wu’s courtyard, and Yao Chen told him Feng Wu had advanced from Dou Qi Level Five to Level Eight in nine days.
• Yao Chen urged Xiao Yan to befriend Feng Wu, reasoning that an expert or extraordinary method must be behind his progress.
• Xiao Yan entered Feng Wu’s home with the Absorption Palm manual and asked for guidance on how to use the technique more effectively.

Feng Wu traded Xiao Yan a way to strengthen Absorption Palm for the cultivation method Xiao Yan would obtain from the Dou Qi Pavilion after the Coming of Age Ceremony. The exchange left Feng Wu with a new combat technique and the prospect of a better cultivation method for his own imminent breakthrough.

• Xiao Yan asked Feng Wu how to increase Absorption Palm's power, and Feng Wu demanded the cultivation method Xiao Yan would choose from the Dou Qi Pavilion in return.
• Xiao Yan hesitated over the deal until Yao Lao urged him to accept, then agreed.
• Feng Wu demonstrated how to combine Absorption Palm's pulling force with a pushing strike, using Cloud Dispelling Palm to smash a bamboo bucket.
• Xiao Yan understood the technique, and Feng Wu sent him away after confirming he would collect the cultivation method after the ceremony.
• Feng Wu reflected that Xiao Xun'er had brought him Cloud Dispelling Palm and Xiao Yan would provide a cultivation method, which he needed for his approaching Dou Zhe breakthrough.

Feng Wu stopped working at Wang Family Butchery after reaching the limit of Dou Qi Ninth Stage and improving his Dou Skills. He went to the Mittel Auction House to look for something of interest and met Ya Fei, leaving his purpose undisclosed.

• Feng Wu paid Butcher Wang his final wages and told him he would no longer come to the shop.
• Feng Wu reviewed his accumulated realm experience and the growth of his Mountain Splitting Palm and Soul Techniques as he headed to the Mittel Auction House.
• A maid recognized Feng Wu as the masked Alchemist and led him to Ya Fei.
• Ya Fei asked Feng Wu whether he had brought more Rejuvenation Pills to auction, and he said he had come to see what the auction house had to offer.

Feng Wu confronted Ya Fei after she tried to entice him into buying an auction item, then took a private room at the auction. He spotted Xiao Yan arriving, though the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid was not yet listed.

• Ya Fei showed Feng Wu the Profound Rank High Grade Wind Scroll Skill and tried to draw him in with her charms.
• Feng Wu used his Absorption Palm to pull Ya Fei into his embrace, warned her against playing with fire, and sent her out of the room.
• Ya Fei escorted Feng Wu to a private room, then privately wondered whether he was younger than he seemed.
• Feng Wu noticed that Xiao Yan had not yet brought the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, while Xiao Zhan, Gale Bi Lie, and Ouba Pa attended the auction.
• Feng Wu recognized a newly arrived black-robed figure as Xiao Yan and wondered how Yao Chen would react.

At the auction, Feng Wu revealed his identity as the maker of the Rejuvenation Pills and confronted Gale Bi Lie for disparaging them. Gale Bi Lie tried to appease him, but Feng Wu demanded an exorbitant price, leaving the clan head torn between buying the pills and preserving the Gale Family’s chance to obtain the Wind Scroll Skill.

• Yao Chen told Xiao Yan that Feng Wu had reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi and was close to becoming a Dou Zhe, and Feng Wu nodded to Xiao Yan from his private box.
• Ya Fei introduced a new Rank 2 Pill, and Gale Bi Lie complained that the Rejuvenation Pills were becoming too common.
• Feng Wu disguised his voice and scolded Gale Bi Lie for looking down on his pills, while Ya Fei confirmed Feng Wu’s identity by bowing to him.
• Gale Bi Lie apologized, slapped himself, and offered to buy two bottles of Rejuvenation Pills for twenty thousand Gold Coins.
• Feng Wu demanded fifty thousand Gold Coins per bottle, and Gale Bi Lie hesitated because paying would jeopardize the Gale Family’s chance to buy the Wind Scroll Skill.

Feng Wu forced Gale Bi Lie to hand over his Purple-Gold Card, then outbid the major families for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. After upgrading the diluted liquid, Feng Wu prepared to use it for another purpose.

• Gale Bi Lie gave Feng Wu the Purple-Gold Card and tried to preserve the Gale Family's relationship with him, but Feng Wu rejected the offer and withdrew.
• Ya Fei introduced the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and confirmed that Master Gu Ni had appraised it as a Second Grade item.
• Gale Bi bid 30,000 Gold Coins for the liquid, but Feng Wu raised the price to 100,000, and Gale Bi backed down.
• Feng Wu received the liquid and discovered that Xiao Yan had diluted its ingredients with water.
• Feng Wu spent 10 experience points to upgrade the liquid to Third Grade, then quietly instructed the maid to help him with his plans.
