After an anomaly at the Cyan Sun Spirit Mine led Xiao Chen to discover a Yin Contains Yang Demonic Beast egg, he refined it into two Three Revolutions Mysterious Origin Pills. As reports spread of a Soul Severing Needle-wielding Divine Fire Sect cultivator killing Foundation Establishment cultivators, Chang Shunping asked to shelter his clan at the mine, and Xiao Chen agreed to protect them.

• Du Mingjie gave Xiao Chen compensation, a Letter Seal to become a Demon Slayer Guard, and invitations after Xiao Chen's escape technique earned renown.

• Xiao Chen reassured Chang Shunping and agreed to let the Chang Family take refuge at the mine.

As the Soul Severing Needle and the Four Great Wanderers drove the Spirit Origin Sect’s defenses toward collapse, Xiao Chen learned how the crisis had spread and set out to kill the Wanderers himself. He tracked a demonic cultivator to the Northern Traveler, who confronted him beside his Icy Water Divine General.

• Yao Dehai tried to warn Xiao Chen to leave the besieged Cyan Sun Spirit Mine, but East Plain fell before the messenger could reach him.

• Western Traveler used Ice Mountain Hell, but Xiao Chen remained unaffected, while the Sword Formation killed Southern Traveler.
• Xiao Chen killed Western Traveler, collected both Wanderers’ Storage Bags, and set out to dig up the final array disk.

Xiao Chen returned to the Cyan Sun Spirit Mine after killing the Four Great Wanderers and forty Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators, stunning the reinforcements with his deeds and 2,600 Points. Meanwhile, Thousand Red True Person’s attempted signal failed, leaving the Divine Fire Sect’s Golden Cores’ attack on Falling Goose Mountain without the expected support of the Nine Heavens True Devil.

After Xiao Chen helped repel the Demonic Cultivators, he sorted his spoils and prepared to sell the items he did not need. The Divine Fire Sect then retaliated by destroying Qingyang Mountain in an attempt to kill him, forcing Xiao Chen to flee southeast as Thousand Red True Person returned to recuperate.

• Thousand Red True Person left the depleted Spiritual Vein to recuperate, while Karma Mirror True Person said the costly attack on Xiao Chen was justified because Yellow Springs Palace was about to open.

After surviving the Divine Fire Sect’s long-range attack on Qingyang Mountain, Xiao Chen concealed what had happened and traveled with Chang Shunping to learn about a Black Market. His Monthly Report score of 2,600 Points made him famous across He Province, and he returned to Yuan Magnetic Peak, where a Golden Core True Person had summoned him.

• Xiao Chen asked Manager Chen and Chang Shunping about connections in the Azure Sky Sect, and learned that powerful He Province families guarded their inheritances and kept outsiders at a distance.
• Qiu Qichen brought Xiao Chen an auction list, where Xiao Chen spotted juvenile Red Beak Crane Overlaid Pearls and asked him to auction one fewer Magic Robe so he could pursue them.

Meanwhile, the Divine Fire Sect arranged to lure him into a trap with Han Zi Yan and Joyful Union Dew, while Xiao Chen began training his body-refining method on Yuan Magnetic Peak.
