• Gu Rong recalled that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had killed disciples in Skywater City and nearby cities, provoking Heaven Dou’s nobles while leaving the sect reluctant to retaliate.

• At dinner, a noble family head asked Master Chen what requirements he had for accepting disciples.

• Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan to Sunset Forest and invited Chen Yue into his herb garden to discuss its plants.

Chen Yue read the Immortal Herb records Qian Renxue had sent before following Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to the herb garden. His System panel would not close until he claimed overdue rewards, leaving him to inspect the herbs through it as Dugu Bo offered him the entire garden.

• Chen Yue discovered that Qian Renxue had sent him a book of Spirit Hall records about Immortal Herbs written in her distinctive hand.
• Chen Yue followed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan toward the herb garden.

• Chen Yue realized the System panel could not be closed without claiming the rewards, so he asked for time to identify the herbs through it.
• Dugu Bo offered Chen Yue the entire herb garden, and Chen Yue suspected the offer came with a condition.

Dugu Bo asked Chen Yue to cure Dugu Yan, revealing that he had built the herb garden to find a way to save her from the poison of her martial soul. Chen Yue began explaining why his treatment plan for Dugu Bo would not work on Dugu Yan.

• Dugu Bo offered to follow Chen Yue’s commands if Chen Yue helped him finish his unfinished business.

• Chen Yue stopped Dugu Yan from reacting to Dugu Bo’s confession and said his treatment plan for Dugu Bo would not work on her.
• Chen Yue explained that Dugu Bo had reached the peak of the Soul Master path as a Titled Douluo, so his martial soul would no longer change through cultivation.

Chen Yue warned Dugu Bo that treating Dugu Yan too forcefully could disrupt her Martial Soul’s future development, while concealing the enormous lifespan cost of the Spirit Exaltation Technique. He chose to use the less risky Spirit Light Technique and left Dugu Bo asking whether another option existed.

• Chen Yue explained that Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul had not reached its final form and that treatment could affect her future Soul Ring absorption.
• Chen Yue discovered that using the Spirit Exaltation Technique on Dugu Yan would cost 12,000 years of lifespan, far beyond what he could pay.

• Chen Yue planned to use the Spirit Light Technique instead and told Dugu Bo that he would proceed cautiously.
• Dugu Bo considered Chen Yue’s explanation and asked whether there was another way to help Dugu Yan.

Chen Yue offered Dugu Bo an uncertain method to help Dugu Yan transform her martial soul, and Dugu Bo began explaining the Dugu family’s situation to her. After they left, Chen Yue checked his System rewards and speculated about the benefits he might receive from Shui Bingyue, A Yin, and Xiao Wu.

• Chen Yue complained that his transformed Blue Silver Emperor had only given birth to five children, then checked the rewards from marrying Xiao Wu.

• Qian Daoliu reviewed how he had helped Bibi Dong hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Bright Four-winged Sky Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest, where he had sensed a watcher he could not locate.

• Qian Daoliu traced how the Angel Divine Statue had narrowed its trials over generations until only holders of the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul could participate.
• Qian Daoliu concluded that Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Lion Douluo had reached their limits, while the other Worship Hall elders would need comprehension and luck to advance further.

Bibi Dong reached level ninety-four and planned to bring someone back once she became a Super Douluo, while Qian Daoliu investigated an ancient warning about the Lake of Life. The chapter left Qian Daoliu preparing to share his discovery and Bibi Dong continuing her cultivation.

• Chen Yue received lifespan rewards for his sixth through ninth children and a critical reward for his tenth child, raising his Innate Soul Power to Level 7.
• Chen Yue admired the rewards and noted that the rabbit soul bone's skills and his increased soul power were more valuable than the lifespan gains.
• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan returned after discussing Chen Yue's arrangements with her.
