Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu interrogated Lu Zhengxiong about Lingyue Pavilion and the forbidden drug in Jiang Fu’s body. After Lu Zhengxiong revealed another member’s identity, his head exploded when he tried to discuss Shi Jiu’s grandparents, and Jiang Fu decided they would question a prisoner at the Ninth District Martial Artist Guild.

• Jiang Fu confronted Lu Zhengxiong, who confirmed that he was a Lingyue Pavilion test subject and that Wang Funian had supplied the forbidden drug in his body.
• Lu Zhengxiong said Jiang Fu had been selected because he belonged to the Imperial Capital Jiang Family and that Lingyue Pavilion’s upper ranks had taken notice of him.

• Jiang Fu told Shi Jiu they would question another Lingyue Pavilion member in the Ninth District Martial Artist Guild’s prison, then admitted he had not expanded his Sequence’s area because he wanted to hold her.

Lü Jianguo asked Shen Yan for help with Lü Pin, whose Lie Detector Sequence exposed people’s lies and caused a family scandal. Shen Yan promised to bring Lü Pin into the Martial Artist Guild and Tianhuang Martial Arts University, then went downstairs and found Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu looking like street punks.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu learned that the Poison Master was alive and decided to wait for Lü Pin before visiting him.

• Jiang Fu entered Wang Funian’s cell, where Wang trembled at the memory of his earlier torture and the loss of his teeth.
• Jiang Fu threatened to attach Wang’s head to his butt if Wang’s poison could not kill him, but Wang begged to be questioned before Jiang Fu could carry out the threat.

• Jiang Fu told Shi Jiu that Xing Jun of Lingyue Pavilion was their main enemy, and Shi Jiu silently absorbed the confirmation that he was responsible for her grandparents’ deaths.

• Lü Pin’s Sequence compelled Wang Funian to reveal that Lingyue Pavilion’s forbidden experiment used youths to create Martial Artists, with death as its greatest aftereffect and Jiang Fu as the only known survivor.
• Wang Funian identified the Execution Lord as an important Lingyue Pavilion figure but said he knew little about him.

• Wang Funian did not know about the four Boundary Beasts and crowned Large Python near Bincheng, or whether Lingyue Pavilion was behind an impending attack.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu freed Wang Funian but kept him as bait for Liu Jingchuan, then prepared to travel to Jiangcheng and confront Lingyue Pavilion’s agents around a Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree. As Lü Pin joined them, they also discussed Shi Yuehan’s betrayal and their plan to take over Tianhuang Martial Arts University using its own rules.

• Shi Jiu explained that her grandfather had acted according to his own interests, while she and Jiang Fu planned to use Tianhuang Martial Arts University’s rules and their allies to force a buyout.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu prepared to leave for Jiangcheng to deal with the Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree, while Lü Pin’s Sequence Lie Detector exposed Shen Yan’s fear of the Tianhuang Martial Arts University principal.

• Shen Yan returned with Lü Pin, took the purple wig, and dressed Lü Pin in a green wig and beard after Jiang Fu threatened him with a female ghost.
• Shen Yan drove Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu out in a large RV, while Jiang Fu said their concealment items would fool the Safety Passage surveillance.

• Jiang Fu proposed auctioning himself and Shi Jiu to draw out hidden enemies, and the pair celebrated with a high-five and a kiss inside the Safety Passage.

Shi Yuehan sent Silver Wing and then Golden Wing to protect Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu on their trip to Jiangcheng, but both risked being captured by the pair. In Bincheng, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu found their old valley abandoned and questioned the captured Silver Wing, whose revelation pleased Jiang Fu.

• Shi Yuehan learned Shen Yan and Lü Pin had left Bincheng with purple and green hair, realized Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu were likely with them, and ordered Silver Wing to follow and protect Shi Jiu.
• Shi Wu warned that Shi Jiu might capture Silver Wing and demand ransom, so Shi Yuehan discovered Silver Wing was unreachable and ordered Golden Wing to bring a Tier Twelve Flame Crystal to the pair.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu searched their old valley and found only traces of Boundary Beasts, which had already moved elsewhere.
• Jiang Fu questioned the bound Silver Wing, and Lü Pin exposed Silver Wing's identity and mission; Jiang Fu was pleased when Silver Wing called him the young master-in-law.

Jiang Fu, Shi Jiu, and their companions waited for Golden Wing while Silver Wing discovered the group’s secrets and learned they planned to make him part of their Bearded Pirate Group. Lü Pin used his Sequence Detector to expose Shen Yan’s thoughts, then admitted he had lied to provoke him, and Jiang Fu proposed making Silver Wing a scapegoat for the group’s crimes.

• Shi Jiu reassured Jiang Fu that they could steal her household registration book, while Silver Wing realized the pair had stolen the principal’s Little Treasury and were part of the Bearded Pirate Group.
• Lü Pin revealed what he claimed were Shen Yan’s thoughts, prompting Shen Yan to attack him as Wood’s Protection shielded Lü Pin.

• Jiang Fu asked Silver Wing to join the Bearded Pirate Group as Silverbeard and suggested they could blame the principal for kidnapping a teacher to transfer assets.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu planned to use Silver Wing and Golden Wing as proof that Shi Yuehan had organized the Bearded Pirate Group to declare war on Lingyue Pavilion. After Golden Wing arrived with two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals, Jiang Fu knocked him out and announced that they would set out to deal with Lingyue Pavilion.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to claim that Shi Yuehan had founded the Bearded Pirate Group and transferred the university's assets to fight Lingyue Pavilion.
• Silver Wing protested that he and Golden Wing would never betray Shi Yuehan, but Jiang Fu insisted their existence was enough to support the story.

• Shi Yuehan sneezed during a video call at Villa No. 777 in Blue Shore Manor Residential Community.

Shi Yuehan learned that Golden Wing had taken two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals and told Shi Wu that the Sikong Clan was involved in Evergreen Pills in Jiangcheng. Shi Jiu grew suspicious of his motives as she and her companions traveled through the Wilderness Zone with Golden Wing and Silver Wing bound in their RV.

• Sikong Yi confronted Shi Yuehan over the two Flame Crystals, and Shi Yuehan cut off the call before he could request more materials.
• Shi Yuehan received no reply from Golden Wing and accepted that Golden Wing and Silver Wing might have been captured, then decided to make the old factions pay.
• Shi Yuehan told Shi Wu that the Sikong Clan and Lingyue Pavilion jointly owned Evergreen Pills, and Shi Wu agreed to inform Shi Jiu.
• Shi Yuehan discovered Shi Wu had been messaging Lanlan about her cat’s yoga dances, then encouraged him to visit the cat café.
• Shi Jiu questioned why Shi Yuehan had told her about Evergreen Pills as she rode through the Wilderness Zone with Jiang Fu, Lü Pin, Shen Yan, and the bound Golden Wing and Silver Wing.
• Jiang Fu searched for Evergreen Pills Group, while Lü Pin suggested Shi Yuehan might simply be trying to mend his relationship with Shi Jiu.

As the RV traveled safely past hordes of Mutated Beasts, Shen Yan recruited Lü Pin into the Ninth District Martial Artist Guild and assigned him to investigate Changqing Pharmaceutical Group, the Sikong Family, and Lingyue Pavilion. Lü Pin asked for cultivation training, and Shen Yan assured him that becoming a Transcendent was only a matter of time.

• Shi Jiu fell asleep in Jiang Fu's arms, reminding Golden Wing and Silver Wing of how she had once depended on Professor Yun.
• Shen Yan gave Lü Pin a tablet with access to the Martial Artist Guild's internal database and told him to research Changqing Pharmaceutical Group, the Sikong Family, and Lingyue Pavilion.
• Lü Pin noticed a huge pack of Silver Moon Wolves pass the concealed RV without attacking, and Golden Wing explained that Shi Jiu had likely hidden the vehicle with a Concealment Sequence Item.
• Shen Yan told Lü Pin he needed to become a Martial Artist soon, then promised that Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu could secure him a place at Tianhuang Martial Arts University.

• Lü Pin asked Shen Yan for cultivation training, and Shen Yan said the Colorful Beards Group's Sequence Pharmacist would help him become a Transcendent.

Jiang Fu reached Jiangcheng with Shen Yan, Lü Pin, and Shi Jiu, then learned he could break through to the Transcendent realm. Shi Jiu urged him to connect both Qi and Blood and Mental Strength to Spirit Qi at once, while the others reacted with awe and envy.

• The RV reached desolate Jiangcheng, where ruined Martial Artist camps and mummified corpses suggested the Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree had caused devastation.
• Jiang Fu used the Eye of Fraud to disguise Shen Yan and Lü Pin as Golden Wing and Silver Wing, allowing the RV to enter the city through the Defense Wall.
• Jiang Fu told Shi Jiu that his Qi and Blood and Mental Strength had both passed one thousand, and that multiplying them by ten let him see the path to becoming a Transcendent.
• Shi Jiu explained the four Transcendent realms and said Jiang Fu could connect both Qi and Blood and Mental Strength to Spirit Qi to reach Return to True directly.
• Shen Yan felt inferior because his Qi and Blood exceeded ninety thousand but he still could not see the path to becoming a Transcendent, while Lü Pin marveled at Jiang Fu's progress and joked about telling Han Ruobing.

Jiang Fu and Shen Yan’s group entered Jiangcheng District Eleven, a nearly evacuated district threatened by a Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree. After Jiang Fu revealed he had bought the Dunxi Hotel, he made Silver Wing and Golden Wing pay for it, then Silver Wing renegotiated the hotel’s price down to ninety-eight thousand.

• The RV entered Jiangcheng District Eleven, where the streets and buildings were mostly deserted after the Authorities began evacuating residents.
• Jiang Fu told the group he had bought the Dunxi Hotel for three hundred thousand and complained he could have negotiated a lower price.
• Jiang Fu claimed the hotel purchase under Silver Wing’s name and demanded two billion from him, so Lü Pin charged Silver Wing’s remaining three hundred thousand and took Golden Wing’s badge to cover more.
• The group arrived at the Dunxi Hotel, where the manager asked Silver Wing to sign the formal agreement and settle the balance.
• Silver Wing signed the contract as the hotel’s new owner, told most of the management to leave, and cut the purchase price to ninety-eight thousand.

Shen Yan bought Dunxi Hotel for 998 and brought the group there, where Shi Jiu discovered Evergreen Group’s role in supporting the fight against the Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree. Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to raid Evergreen Group, but first Shi Jiu helped Jiang Fu break through to the Transcendent realm.

• Shen Yan haggled Dunxi Hotel’s price down from 300,000 to 998, leaving Silver Wing embarrassed after Shen Yan negotiated under his Silverbeard disguise.
• Shen Yan drove the group to Dunxi Hotel, where Shi Jiu reviewed Evergreen Group’s efforts to supply pills to Martial Artists fighting the Fifth Tier Spirit Fruit Tree.

• Shi Jiu concealed their presence with her Ultimate Dao Concealment Pendant and guided Jiang Fu through their shared cultivation techniques.
• Jiang Fu broke through to the Transcendent realm’s second stage, Return to the True.

After Jiang Fu reached early Return to the True, he used his fifth System Screen to identify the Red-Clothed Female Ghost as a Domain Demon named Ying Sui. The chapter ended with Shi Jiu proposing Spatial Annihilation as a way to destroy it completely.

• With Shi Jiu’s guidance, Jiang Fu formed his Qi Sea and Sea of Consciousness and reached early Return to the True.
• Jiang Fu checked his system panel, then decided he was ready to fight Transcendents alongside Shi Jiu.

• Jiang Fu’s fifth System Screen identified the demon as Ying Sui and stated that it could only be destroyed through complete annihilation.
• When Ying Sui threatened to escape and kill them, Jiang Fu explained how to kill a Domain Demon, and Shi Jiu suggested Spatial Annihilation.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu trapped a Domain Demon and learned it had nearly escaped the Spatial Maze, then planned to build their strength by raiding the Changqing Pharmaceutical Group. Shen Yan revealed that Yu Jin of the Ling Family had taken the bait and offered two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals for Jiang Fu, leaving Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu ready to target the Ling Family.

• Shi Jiu threatened to destroy the Spatial Maze to kill the Domain Demon, and Jiang Fu multiplied the Maze’s ability to contain it by ten after realizing it could escape.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to raid the Changqing Pharmaceutical Group for resources and agreed on the code name “clean them out.”

• Shen Yan revealed that Yu Jin of the Imperial Capital’s Ling Family had offered two Tier Twelve Flame Crystals for Jiang Fu and identified Yu Jin as the man who had watched Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu before.
