• Li Feng confirmed his suspicions that Bob could evade parts of the Slave Contract, though Bob had not yet told S.H.I.E.L.D. about him.

• Li Feng released the expedition and ordered Evelyn and O'Connell to excavate the two books, threatening them with fire if they refused.

Li Feng forced Evelyn’s treasure-hunting party to search for the two Egyptian books, taking The Book of the Dead from a cursed chest. He had Evelyn translate it, but the scripture seemed to contain praise rather than spells, so he decided he still needed to revive Imhotep to understand its magic.

• Li Feng identified himself as the Mage Austin, threatened Evelyn and O’Connell, and put Evelyn in charge of the excavation in exchange for the treasure.
• Several men shot at Li Feng, but his shield stopped their bullets; he released the Dementors to surround the City of the Dead and punish the fleeing attackers.

• Li Feng burned Imhotep’s body to ashes, scattered them into the Mirror Dimension, and carved a Slave Contract onto Imhotep’s head.

Li Feng trapped Imhotep’s Astral Body in the Mirror Dimension and forced him into the Slave Contract, then made him identify the spells hidden in The Book of the Dead and The Book of Amun-Ra.

• Li Feng made Imhotep explain the concealed spells in The Book of the Dead, while Evelyn translated Imhotep’s speech and Li Feng learned that Anubis controlled the Resurrection Spell and the souls it required.
• Li Feng concluded he could not use the Resurrection Spell in the Marvel Universe because Anubis did not govern its souls, then forced Imhotep to point out and copy the book’s other spells.

• Li Feng arranged for Kreacher to protect Evelyn so she could sleep, after which Jonathan and O'Connell moved into her room with the gold.

Six months after leaving the City of the Dead, Li Feng finished learning Ancient Egyptian and prepared to travel to Shangri-La after a Dementor located a place with humans and powerful emotions.

• Li Feng ordered Kreacher to give Zi Yuan the Elixir of Life and Death and spent three days searching her memories for the Oracle Bone Book.
• Li Feng found and read the Oracle Bone Book, discovering that it contained many spells but no cultivation technique.

Li Feng kept the Oracle Bone Book and dismissed Zi Yuan’s attempt to trade her daughter for a cultivation method, while she remained consumed by revenge against the First Emperor. After dinner, Li Feng brought Kreacher to the desert above the First Emperor’s tomb to try speaking with him in Necrolanguage and ask about his cultivation method.

Zhao Zheng planned to revive his soldiers and eventually conquer a country overseas, while Li Feng suggested they join forces to take Sushi Country.

• Li Feng persuaded the First Emperor to stop using the name Ying Zheng, and he chose to be called Zhao Zheng.
• Zhao Zheng used a Soul-Searching Spell on Zi Yuan, learned she had a daughter, and killed her.

• Zhao Zheng said he would revive his soldiers, study modern civilization, and conquer a country overseas.
• Li Feng recommended Sushi Country, and Zhao Zheng considered the suggestion.

Li Feng agreed to fund Zhao Zheng’s plans to conquer Sushi Country in return for six months of cultivation instruction. After Zhao Zheng captured Lin to trade her immortality for bodies for his soldiers, Li Feng began practicing the cultivation technique and discovered that it purified his Mana and spiritual power.

• Li Feng and Zhao Zheng agreed that Zhao Zheng would claim Sushi Country, and Li Feng supplied a box of gold to fund food and weapons for his soldiers.
• Zhao Zheng promised to guide Li Feng in cultivation for six months, then spent the night awake because Li Feng’s snoring disturbed him.
