Chapter Summaries

After Xiao Ning provoked Xiao Yan at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony, Xiao Mei shocked the clan by revealing she had reached the Dou Practitioner realm at fifteen. The next morning, Bai Ge agreed to help Xiao Ning choose a cultivation method, and Xiao Xun'er joined them so Bai Ge could seek a better method for himself.

• Xiao Ning flaunted his advancement and provoked Xiao Yan, then Xiao Yu dragged him away by the ear.

• Xiao Ning brooded over Xiao Mei's interest in stronger men and his place as her backup choice.

Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er waited for the Dou Qi Pavilion to open, and Bai Ge speculated that Fennekin was about to evolve. At the pavilion, Xiao Yan entered for a second time after Xiao Zhan announced that his contribution of two Pills qualified him, leaving Xiao Yan displeased by the praise.

• Xiao Yu waited outside the Dou Qi Pavilion while Xiao Ning went in with Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er.
• Bai Ge asked about Fennekin, and Xiao Xun'er explained that it had been sleepy and its aura had become unstable.
• Bai Ge suggested that Fennekin might be about to evolve, making Xiao Xun'er curious about what it would become.
• Xiao Zhan opened the Dou Qi Pavilion and tested the arriving family members' attributes.
• Xiao Yan stepped up to enter the pavilion again, and Xiao Zhan explained that Xiao Yan had earned the privilege by obtaining an Essence Condensing Pill and a Qi Gathering Powder for the family.
• The crowd praised Xiao Yan's contribution, but Xiao Yan felt unhappy because the Pills had been compensation for his repudiation.

Bai Ge and Xiao Xun'er entered the Xiao Family's Dou Qi Pavilion after their powerful Fire Attribute tests shattered or cracked the testing crystal balls. Inside, Xiao Ning teased them as a couple, but Bai Ge insisted they shared only Pure Sibling Affection, leaving Xun'er embarrassed and resentful.

• Xiao Yan tested as having a powerful Fire Attribute and headed into the Dou Qi Pavilion.
• Bai Ge produced an overwhelmingly bright red light during his test, and the crystal ball shattered; Xiao Yan thought he glimpsed green light within it.

• Bai Ge waited for Xiao Xun'er, and they walked together into the Dou Qi Pavilion.
• Xiao Ning teased Bai Ge and Xun'er as a couple, and Bai Ge declared that they shared only Pure Sibling Affection.

Bai Ge helped Xiao Ning reach the door hiding the Kun Shan Art and shattered its restriction with a single precise strike. He then left Xiao Ning to collect the technique and took Xiao Xun'er toward the Wind passage instead of the Fire passage.

• Bai Ge asked Xiao Ning to lead them to the Earth passage, while Xiao Xun'er urged Bai Ge to seek a higher-grade Fire technique.

• Bai Ge told Xiao Ning to take the technique and wait for them, then left with Xiao Xun'er.
• Bai Ge said they would explore the Wind passage, leaving Xiao Xun'er puzzled about why they were going there.

Bai Ge refused Xiao Xun’er's offer of a stronger cultivation technique and revealed that his own technique could evolve. He secretly reinforced the Wind Attribute passageway’s higher-grade technique barriers to thwart Xiao Yan and give Xiao Ning a chance with Xiao Mei, then brought Xiao Xun'er back to watch what happened.

• Xiao Xun'er offered Bai Ge the Burning Flame Art, but he declined and told her his cultivation technique could evolve.
• Bai Ge located the Wind Attribute passageway’s higher-grade cultivation techniques and secretly reinforced their barriers while searching for a chance to help Xiao Ning.
• Bai Ge reinforced the higher-grade barriers in the other passageways as well, intending to make it harder for Xiao Yan to obtain a good technique for Xiao Mei.
• Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei arrived at the Wind Attribute passageway, and Bai Ge led Xiao Xun'er back inside to watch.

• Xiao Yan struck the green light screen with Explosive Flame Fist, but it only rippled and remained intact.
• Xiao Yan stood stunned as the spectators looked on with suspicion, while Bai Ge nearly laughed at his embarrassment.

Xiao Yan failed to break a reinforced restriction on a Mysterious Grade High Tier cultivation method and took Xiao Mei to search elsewhere. Bai Ge secretly let another Xiao Family disciple break the screen, leaving Xiao Yan stunned and Xiao Mei on the verge of tears.

• The disciple found a Mysterious Grade High Tier cultivation method, and Xiao Yan turned back in shock as Xiao Mei nearly cried.

Xiao Yan failed to obtain a suitable Wind Attribute cultivation method for Xiao Mei as Bai Ge secretly reinforced restrictions to frustrate him. The chapter left Xiao Yan increasingly enraged as other disciples repeatedly claimed the methods he could not reach.

• Xiao Yan gave up on the taken Mysterious Grade High Tier method and searched the Wind Attribute passage with Xiao Mei for a lower-grade alternative.

• Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei continued through the passage, but Xiao Yan repeatedly failed to break restrictions while other disciples obtained the methods afterward.

• Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei emerged from the Wind Attribute passageway after Xiao Yan found only Yellow Grade High Tier techniques in further attempts.
• Xiao Ning mocked Xiao Yan for failing Xiao Mei and showed him the Mysterious Grade Mid Tier Wind Attribute scroll, startling Xiao Yan and Xiao Mei.

• Xiao Ning stepped in front of Su Die and Xue Ni and told Ge Ci he would have to defeat him before reaching Bai Ge, surprising Bai Ge, Xiao Xun'er, and Xiao Yu.

Xiao Ning challenged Ge Ci to a fight to show off, trusting that Bai Ge would protect him. After Ge Ci quickly gained the upper hand, Xiao Ning called for Bai Ge to save him, and Bai Ge stepped in by flicking a pebble at Ge Ci.

• Xiao Ning mocked Ge Ci and wagered that Ge Ci would have to take a detour whenever he saw their group if Xiao Ning's side won.
