• Wang Teng stopped after traveling only a short distance and told the surprised Venerables that Candle Demon Venerable's treasure was nearby.

He said the solution was to raise Luo Fu Te’s physique and searched the Treasure Vault for a suitable treasure, leaving behind a powerful poison-element treasure as the search continued.

• Luo Fu Te privately asked Wang Teng to examine his body, and Wang Teng found crystals formed from his meridians, flesh, blood, and bones obstructing his power circulation.

• Wang Teng revealed that he knew Luo Fu Te had the Wood Butterfly Poison Body and said he had three ways to improve it.

• Wang Teng said he could help the Ancient Poison Wood coexist with Luo Fu Te’s body and locate a suitable spiritual object.
• Wang Teng introduced the Butterfly Cocoon Breaking Method, which involved pushing the power of Luo Fu Te’s cultivation technique to its limit and making it form a cocoon.

Wang Teng explained three ways to improve Luo Fu Te’s constitution, each with different risks and chances of success. Luo Fu Te was impressed by the plans and ended the chapter weighing their promise against their dangers.

• Wang Teng proposed the Butterfly Cocoon Breaking Method, using poison and wood-element power to erode and restore Luo Fu Te’s body until his physique transformed, and claimed a seventy-percent chance of success.
• Luo Fu Te accepted Wang Teng’s confidence in the second method and asked about the third.
• Wang Teng revealed that his third method would use the Ancient Poison Butterfly’s soul to resonate with Luo Fu Te’s constitution and cultivation technique, forming a cycle.
• Wang Teng explained that the three methods varied in speed, risk, and success rate, with the second method being the riskiest.

• Venerable Tian Yan insisted their group had arrived first, while Venerable Yinlei rejected the idea that arrival order mattered.
• Wang Teng laughed at Venerable Yinlei and compared his shameless behavior to True God Yaofeng's.

Wang Teng mocked Venerable Yinlei, then explained that the treasure hidden in the Fire Cloud could move by using natural patterns to conceal itself. He located it and gathered the Immortal Level Venerables to help intercept it.

• Venerable Yinlei threatened Wang Teng, but Wang Teng sarcastically dismissed him as Venerable Rongfeng stayed silent and followed him into the Fire Cloud.
• Venerable Yinlei and Venerable Rongfeng rushed into the Fire Cloud to search for the treasure, while Wang Teng assured Venerable Tian Yan that the Fire Cloud concealed it.

• After the four Immortal Level Venerables left, Wang Teng gathered Fire Element Starry Sky Source Power and Wealth Qi attributes and headed toward the treasure.
• As he approached, Wang Teng collected Fire Essence, Ancient Fire Rune, and Wealth Qi attributes, then concealed himself to investigate the treasure.
• Wang Teng absorbed Molten Heart attributes, and their body-tempering power gathered into a scarlet sphere beside the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires in his Chaos Star Region.
• The Molten Heart’s spirit addressed Wang Teng as its master, and he asked whether it was the treasure’s main intelligence or a split-off intelligence.
• The spirit insisted it was the main intelligence and offered to summon its other part, so Wang Teng released the shrunken Molten Heart into his palm.

Wang Teng transferred the Molten Heart’s spirit into its miniature form, named it Rongxin, and had it make the original treasure erupt so he could collect Attribute Bubbles while directing it toward Venerable Tian Yan. Venerable Yinlei and Venerable Rongfeng learned of the disturbance; Yinlei insisted on going to challenge the group despite Rongfeng’s doubts.

• The Molten Heart’s spirit transferred into Wang Teng’s miniature Molten Heart, and he discovered it could still return to its original body.
• Wang Teng named the spirit Rongxin and told it to split off part of its intelligence and make the original Molten Heart erupt toward Venerable Tian Yan.

• Venerable Tian Yan, Luo Fu Te, Candle Demon Venerable, and the others noticed the eruption and suspected Wang Teng was involved.
