• The simulation ended, and Lu Yu was offered Heavenly Azure Spirit Ox beast milk, his Inheritance Jade Slip, or Qing Yan Jing’s Eight Divine Meridians.

Lu Yu decided to risk replacing his Exotic Flame Spiritual Vein with Qing Yan Jing’s Eight Divine Meridians and prepared for the dangerous procedure by refining two high-grade eighth-rank Bone-Generating Blood-Melding Pills. He left Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa to manage Spirit Treasure Pavilion while he went into seclusion.

• Lu Yu chose the Eight Divine Meridians over the other simulation rewards and planned to strip away his existing spiritual vein, despite the danger and cost.
• Lu Yu asked Little Fairy Doctor to obtain ingredients from the Cao Family and Dan Family, then used them to refine a seven-colored eighth-rank pill on Tianmu Mountain.
• Lu Yu’s pill-refining demonstration inspired a sixth-grade alchemist to break through and resolve to pursue seventh-grade alchemist status.
• Lu Yu refined a second pill and asked Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa to jointly handle Spirit Treasure Pavilion while he entered seclusion.

• Lu Yu used the Meridian Activation Method to make his Exotic Flame Spiritual Vein explode, leaving him gravely wounded and wrecking the quiet room.
• Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa found Lu Yu, who took an eighth-grade, seven-colored Bone-Generating Blood-Melding Pill to heal; Little Fairy Doctor stayed to care for him until his injuries stabilized.
• After recalling the danger of detonating a spiritual vein, Lu Yu took another Bone-Generating Blood-Melding Pill and chose Qing Yan Jing’s Eight Divine Meridians.
• The eight purple moons nearly shattered Lu Yu’s body as the pill’s medicinal power ran out, but the black Pagoda Tower calmed the remaining three moons.
• The purple moons fused completely with Lu Yu’s body, and he collapsed unconscious from exhaustion.

Lu Yu expanded Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s influence, gave Cai Lin the complete Nine Heavens Sword Origin Scripture, and forgot to use his monthly simulation. Days later, Cai Lin reported that the Cloud Mist Sect and unknown Dou Zong experts had attacked the Northwest Continent, leaving Wu Ya gravely wounded and the situation near collapse.

• Cai Lin reported Spirit Treasure Pavilion’s growing sales and explained how a Dou Huang’s last stand had made the Azure Origin Pill famous, so Lu Yu ordered future sales to go through auctions.

Lu Yu crafted a Netherworld Soul-Erosion Pill for Little Fairy Doctor, then led Hei Qing, Zi Yan, Hai Bodong, and Dou Zong elders through a Spatial Wormhole to the Northwest Continent. At Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Yun opposed Yun Shan’s expansion plans and forced marriage, while a black-mist figure warned him that the Venerable was dissatisfied with the Northwest’s tribute.
