Chapter Summaries

Ye Tian reached the Spirit Hall Special Training Program camp and asked Guardian Shi Fei to help him find his sister, Ye Xinglan. Shi Fei found her name on the roster and offered to bring her to the large tent in the morning rather than disturb her at night.

• Shi Fei offered to send a female student to bring Ye Xinglan to the large tent, and Ye Tian agreed.

Ye Tian learned that his sister Ye Xinglan had been missing for half a month after leaving to obtain a soul ring, so he prepared to search for her himself. Before setting out with Xiao Ying, he asked Shi Fei where to find the soul beasts needed for the Soul Cleansing Saint Pill.

• Shi Fei said Ghost Vines lived on ancient trees near the camp and pointed out a Fire Rhinoceros herd in the Star Dou Great Forest's Mist Swamp.

Ye Tian prepared to search for Ye Xinglan with Xiao Ying’s help, learning her group’s trail symbols and recognizing the white rabbit mark his sister had made. Before leaving, he collected a poisonous Ghost Vine Flower for his alchemy plans, while Xiao Bai and the Sea Witch bickered over Ye Tian’s suggestion that Xiao Bai bathe.

Ye Tian’s group entered the Mixed Region of the Star Dou Great Forest while searching for Ye Xinglan’s team, and Xiao Ying learned that Ye Tian had a connection to Sea God Douluo. Xuan Miaoyin found a marker, but Sea Witch made the group wait for Xiao Bai before heading to it.

• Sea Witch, Xiao Bai, and Xuan Miaoyin divided up the scouting while the group searched for Ye Xinglan’s team.

• Xiao Bai returned about five minutes later wearing a loose white palace dress that belonged to Sea Witch.

Xiao Bai teased Sea Witch and sparked a misunderstanding about Ye Tian watching her bathe, which she clarified had only happened while she was transporting him without clothes.

• Ye Tian and Xiao Ying failed to lift the divine hammer, and Xuan Miaoyin explained three ways to wield it: Clear Sky Sect bloodline, divine power, or a Blood Oath.

Ye Tian let Xiao Ying try to claim the Golden Clear Sky Hammer, then was seized by the Sky Azure Bull Python, which brought him to the Lake of Life for medical help. The chapter ended as Ye Tian followed the python to a thatched cottage guarded by a giant ape.

Ye Tian met Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest’s Central Area, where she and the soul beasts Da Ming and Er Ming debated her health and menstrual cycle. Xiao Wu asked Ye Tian to help fool them with tonic medicine, while she looked forward to reaching level seventy and entering human territory safely.

After the Titan Giant Ape injured him, Ye Tian took a Heavenly Flower Saint Pill and began recovering before Xiao Wu's astonished eyes.

• Ye Tian gave the Sky Azure Bull Python a prescription for Regulating Breath Soup and instructed it to prepare seven daily doses as one course of treatment.

• Ye Tian told Xiao Wu he could draw the herbs from memory and took a Heavenly Flower Saint Pill to heal his internal injuries.
• Xiao Wu watched Ye Tian recover visibly and stared at the pill in disbelief.

Xiao Wu traded two bottles of spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Ye Tian’s Heavenly Flower Saint Pill, which she intended to give to a friend. The two grew more comfortable with each other, and Xiao Wu offered to arrange a match between Ye Tian and her beautiful, unmarried friend, but Ye Tian declined.

• As they neared Lake Heart Island, Xiao Wu struggled to write to the Seven Monsters and wished for a pill to raise Soul Power quickly, prompting Ye Tian to say he could make one.

Ye Tian traded a Heavenly Essence Pill to Xiao Wu for her Lovesick Heartbreak Red, then accompanied her and Da Ming to Lake Heart Island. There, Xiao Wu pleaded with him to save her dying friend Dai Ya, whose face reminded her of someone she cared about.

• Ye Tian refused to give Xiao Wu pills for free, then persuaded her to trade her Lovesick Heartbreak Red for a Heavenly Essence Pill.
• Da Ming brought Ye Tian and Xiao Wu to Lake Heart Island, where Ye Tian spotted the Golden Ancient Tree and planned to collect Source of Life.
• Xiao Wu introduced Ye Tian to Dai Ya, who lay gravely injured inside the hollow Golden Ancient Tree and believed she had little time left.
• Xiao Wu begged Ye Tian to save Dai Ya, while Ye Tian weighed the risks of revealing his abilities to Xiao Wu and Da Ming.
• Dai Ya told Ye Tian that his appearance reminded her of someone she cared about deeply.

Ye Tian examined Dai Ya and found that while pills could heal her internal injuries, spiritually contaminated energy from a Human-faced Spider was destroying her Spiritual Sea. He decided to refine a Soul Cleansing Pill to save her and remove his own Sea God's Inheritance Mark, but first he needed Fire Rhinoceros Horn.

• Ye Tian told Xiao Wu that Dai Ya still had a chance to survive and diagnosed her injuries, then used three Taiyi Divine Needles to restrict the contaminated energy in her body.
• Xiao Wu gave Dai Ya a Heavenly Flower Saint Pill, which would heal her internal injuries and extend her life by three days.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python left to search the Mist Swamp for Fire Rhinoceros Horn, while Xiao Wu went to gather firewood for Ye Tian.

Ye Tian secretly collected Source of Life from the Golden Ancient Tree while talking with the injured Dai Ya, who wondered if he was the person she had known. After Xiao Wu returned with food, Ye Tian took over cooking and stunned her by swiftly deboning and scaling a fish with a Taiyi Divine Needle.

• Ye Tian set up four Eight Trigrams arrays on the Golden Ancient Tree and collected Source of Life in jade bottles while telling Dai Ya a fabricated story about studying medicine.
• Dai Ya explained that a Man Faced Demon Spider had injured her and that Xiao Wu had saved her, then grew disappointed as she suspected Ye Tian only shared a name with someone she knew.
• After two hours, the arrays collapsed, and Ye Tian sealed the collected Source of Life before leaving the Golden Ancient Tree's house without waking Dai Ya.
• Xiao Wu returned at night with two large fish and a Groundhog, and Ye Tian insisted on cooking dinner himself.
• Ye Tian used a Taiyi Divine Needle to remove a bighead carp's scales and bones in moments, leaving Xiao Wu amazed.

Ye Tian discovered that a Groundhog's skull held a strange golden power, which surged into Xiao Wu when she touched it and left her unconscious. The skull's cracks formed a map matching the Central Area of the Star Dou Great Forest, while Xiao Wu's condition remained uncertain.

• Ye Tian cleaned the Cyan Bighead Fish while Xiao Wu admired his skill and considered recruiting him to Shrek Academy and the Shrek Seven Devils.
• Xiao Wu made skewers and went to start a fire as Ye Tian began preparing a thousand-year Groundhog.
• Ye Tian's Tungsten Steel Knife broke against the Groundhog's skull, so he used Xiao Wu's Crescent Moon Blade to expose the skull's golden glow.
• Xiao Wu touched the skull, and its golden light surged into her body, causing her to collapse.
• Ye Tian checked Xiao Wu and found her pulse steady, then noticed cracks on the skull that matched the Central Area of the Star Dou Great Forest on his map.

Ye Tian was trapped by the Titan Giant Ape after Xiao Wu collapsed, and he used the threat that she would never wake up to stop the ape from killing him. Xiao Wu woke the next morning with Ye Tian's coat over her and no memory of fainting, while Ye Tian examined the skull's strange markings.

• The Titan Giant Ape arrived, blamed Ye Tian for Xiao Wu's collapse, and imprisoned him with her after Ye Tian warned that she might never wake up.

• Ye Tian showed Xiao Wu the cracked skull and asked whether its markings looked familiar, but she noticed nothing and said she could not remember why she had fallen asleep.
