Chapter Summaries

Yu Xiaogang and Deep Blue experimented with turning nurtured Blue Silver Grass into a network that could improve Deep Blue’s computing power. After Deep Blue proposed connecting the grass through its roots, Yu Xiaogang began nurturing the linked plants with Soul Power and Mental Power.

• Yu Xiaogang returned to his dormitory, where Deep Blue scolded Luo Sanpao for scattering Soul Tool blueprints before helping him design an ancient Chinese-style Sect Residence.
• Yu Xiaogang settled into a routine of cultivation, teaching, and Soul Tool research, while he and Deep Blue discovered that his nurtured Blue Silver Grass had become Ten-Year Soul Beasts connected to Deep Blue’s database.
• Yu Xiaogang became frustrated when additional Blue Silver Grass only created more connection points instead of the information-processing network he envisioned.
• Deep Blue suggested linking the Blue Silver Grass roots and using her as the database core, explaining that their faint soul consciousness made the network theoretically feasible.
• Deep Blue intertwined the roots, and Yu Xiaogang began nurturing the connected Blue Silver Grass with Soul Power and Mental Power.

Yu Xiaogang discovered that the Blue Silver Grass he had nurtured had formed a collective consciousness, which he named Yun Lan, and learned it could spread through ordinary Blue Silver Grass. He transplanted Yun Lan on the Academy Back Mountain to grow the network and support Deep Blue’s processing.

• Yu Xiaogang entered the Blue Silver Grass Network’s Soul Space and learned that connected grasses could assimilate ordinary Blue Silver Grass, grow by absorbing Heaven and Earth Energy, and return Soul Power to him.
• Yu Xiaogang named the collective consciousness Yun Lan and learned he could connect to it within thirty meters and enter or leave its Soul Space at will.
• Yu Xiaogang told Deep Blue they would plant Yun Lan on the Academy Back Mountain, and Snow Tuanzi joined them as they flew there.
• Yu Xiaogang transplanted Yun Lan and ordinary Blue Silver Grass at the mountain peak, added fertilizer, and urged Yun Lan to develop the network.
• Yun Lan waved its leaves in farewell and promised to work hard as Yu Xiaogang, Deep Blue, and Snow Tuanzi headed back to rest.

Yu Xiaogang linked his cultivation with Yun Lan’s Blue Silver Grass network and absorbed Morning Sun Purple Qi, gaining a major increase in strength and reaching Soul Power level 35. Yun Lan explained how her collective consciousness protects assimilated Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts from being exploited for their Soul Rings and abilities.

• Yu Xiaogang arrived at Yun Lan’s patch of Blue Silver Grass and began a Soul Power link with her as the sun rose.
• Yu Xiaogang and Yun Lan cultivated together, allowing the Blue Silver Grass network to absorb Heaven and Earth Energy and Morning Sun Purple Qi.
• Yu Xiaogang’s Soul Power rose to level 35, his body and spiritual power improved, and he realized Yun Lan’s network could help him obtain a powerful fourth Soul Ring.
• Yu Xiaogang asked Yun Lan what would happen if her Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts were hunted.
• Yun Lan explained that their consciousness and essence would return to her collective Sea of Consciousness, while hunted plants would yield only blank ten-year Soul Rings unless she allowed otherwise.

Yu Xiaogang finished cultivating and secretly instructed Yun Lan to develop the Blue Silver Grass Network without revealing itself. He and Elder Kahn then discussed the completed swimming pool and inspected the training uniforms and swimsuits before heading to breakfast.

• Elder Kahn cultivated the Life Nurturing Skill, felt his back pain ease, and noticed blue-green light shining from the Academy Back Mountain.

After the Elite Class received new training clothes, Yu Xiaogang introduced swimming as the next stage of their physical and Soul Power control training.

• Yu Xiaogang told Elder Kahn that Blue Silver Grass Soul Beasts would yield only White Ten-Year Soul Rings and instructed him to warn the academy and Spirit Hall against hunting them.
• Elder Kahn thanked Yu Xiaogang, then agreed to inform the academy and report the discovery to Ma Xiunuo at Spirit Hall.
• Yu Xiaogang privately told Yun Lan that protecting Blue Silver Grass would give its network time to assimilate more grass and grow stronger.
• After breakfast, Elder Kahn handed Yu Xiaogang the warehouse key and hurried off to notify the academy's teachers about the mutation.
• Yu Xiaogang had Si Si and several students distribute training uniforms and swimsuits to the Elite Class.
• Yu Xiaogang explained that swimming would provide safer physical training and support the students' next stage of Soul Power control.
