He survived the process, gained an Advanced Ice-Fire Spirit Root and many improvements, and left his cultivation poised to learn more Dao techniques.

• Wang Wu realized that the pill was reforming his acquired cultivation and chose to divide the process evenly between his innate bloodline and Ice-Fire Spirit Root.
• Wang Wu yielded half his Five Demon Core System's territory to the Spirit Root, suffering permanent losses to his lifespan, attributes, and Bloodline Secret Techniques as the pill established a buffer between the two powers.
• Wang Wu's innate bloodline and acquired cultivation began cooperating, and the status panel reported six new meridians, an Advanced Ice-Fire Spirit Root, improved abilities, and increased Bloodline Evolution.

After improving his Ice Fire Spirit Root and sorting through the spoils from his battle, Wang Wu concluded that human cultivation society had a powerful, organized supply system and resolved to keep practicing caution. He watched a group of cultivators perform a strange ritual around a dead tree stump, ending with a spell meant to bring plants back to life.

• Wang Wu assessed the gains and lasting stat losses from his reforms, noting that his Bloodline Evolution had risen and his Ice Fire Spirit Root cultivated faster.
• Wang Wu settled into the herb estate, searched for a lurking Tree Demon Gardener, and inventoried the valuable supplies taken from Junior Brother Geng and Senior Brother Jiang.
• Wang Wu reasoned that human cultivators relied on a stable, extensive supply system and decided he needed to continue following the Path of Cowardly Prudence.
• A white-haired old woman led a group of cultivators to a clearing and had them tend the soil around a dead tree stump.

• The manor’s people discovered Wang Wu and the Old Woman used a talisman to summon him, granting him permission to take human form and move freely around Jade Mountain Manor.

Wang Wu was mistaken for the resurrected True Man Mu and tasked with managing Jade Mountain Manor’s spirit plants. After discovering that a poisoned spirit plant was being sabotaged with Five Poisons Spirit Energy, he swallowed the poison stone but found his new defenses prevented him from building poison resistance.

• Wang Wu transformed into a teenage boy, and the Old Woman branded him as True Man Mu and assigned him authority over Jade Mountain Manor’s spirit plants and protective formation.
• Wang Wu listened to the manor residents and learned that the Old Woman had borrowed heavily to buy a resurrection recipe without the manor master’s knowledge.
• Wang Wu examined the manor’s most precious spirit plant and used the Companion Demonic Vine to find a black stone poisoning its main root.
• Wang Wu dug underground, found the stone, recognized the Five Poisons Spirit Energy within it, and swallowed it when its poison formation detonated.
• Wang Wu’s Ice Fire Talisman, Heart of the Earth, and spirit energy neutralized the poison before it could cause lasting harm, leaving him unable to farm poison resistance.

Wang Wu used the Companion Demonic Vine to repair a poisoned spirit plant, earning Jade Mountain Manor's gratitude and a jade token. He then witnessed the manor's massive daily Spiritual Essence harvest and learned that its supply was largely claimed by others, though the old woman left him around one hundred thousand points of spirit energy to manage.

• Wang Wu had the Companion Demonic Vine examine and surgically repair a spirit plant damaged by Five Poisons Spirit Energy, using grafts taken from similar plants in the manor.
• The spirit plant recovered enough to bloom nine flowers, delighting the old woman; she gave Wang Wu a jade token and let him return to rest.
• At dawn, Jade Mountain Manor used enormous curtain walls and a cauldron to gather Spiritual Essence from a wide area.
• The manor sent most of the harvested Spiritual Essence away, then used the remainder for a cultivation session in which the children and residents received spirit mist according to their rank.
• After the session, the old woman assigned the day's work and left about one hundred thousand points of spirit energy above Wang Wu's wooden lump for him to manage.

Wang Wu studied the spirit mist and Jade Mountain Manor’s formation while working as True Man Mu, then used the Five Aggregates Spirit Array to kill an intruder he mistook for a Myriad Poisons Sect attacker. He realized the dead man might have been an insider and ordered the Companion Demonic Vine to recreate his appearance and cultivation aura.

• Wang Wu concluded that the little cauldron’s purified spirit mist could greatly improve cultivators’ spirit-root quality, though he doubted he could cultivate in it himself.
• Wang Wu worked as True Man Mu, discovered that Jade Mountain Manor’s spirit rain could not be diverted for his own use, and located 4,980 Formation Stones.
• Wang Wu left a wooden decoy in his Great Pit and headed underground to inspect a Formation Stone, guided by his subtle Danger Sense.
• Wang Wu sensed someone passing through the Five Aggregates Spirit Array and used its control authority to send the intruder to him and kill him.
• Wang Wu found that the dead fourth-grade Human cultivator carried no weapons or identifying gear and feared he might have killed an ally, so he told the Companion Demonic Vine to recreate the man’s appearance and aura.

Wang Wu impersonated True Man Mu and encountered Madam, who mistook him for her lover and tasked him with buying a Five Poisons Profound Stone. After learning Jade Mountain Manor planned to have another Tree Demon Gardener verify True Man Mu, Wang Wu survived a Fire Essence Spirit Pill hidden in Madam’s reward pouch and sensed the manor’s master returning.

• Wang Wu used the Companion Demonic Vine and the Myriad Transformation Wishful Demon Leaf to perfectly impersonate True Man Mu.
• Madam embraced Wang Wu, mistook him for her lover, and gave him a code phrase and instructions to buy a Five Poisons Profound Stone.
• Madam told Wang Wu that True Man Mu had saved the Five Aggregates Spirit Fruit Tree and that the old woman planned to have another Tree Demon Gardener inspect him.
• Wang Wu decided to use a wooden substitute for True Man Mu and prepared defenses before opening Madam’s Storage Pouch.
• A fifth-grade Fire Essence Spirit Pill exploded from the pouch, but Wang Wu contained the blast and survived.
• Wang Wu sensed the manor’s master had returned before dawn and feared he might be discovered.

Wang Wu watched from hiding as the Jade Mountain Manor Lord and an Azure Pheasant delegation investigated True Man Mu, whose apparent revival had caused suspicion. The inspection cleared True Man Mu but exposed Nanny Xu’s mishandling of it, and the manor lord removed her from her duties.

• Wang Wu fled to a distant hill when he saw the manor lord arrive with a crowd, then watched their investigation from afar.
• Nanny Xu explained how she had used a secret prescription to revive True Man Mu, and Liu Bo examined the wooden body and found it alive but dormant.
• Nanny Xu failed to awaken True Man Mu with its jade talisman and admitted she had sent it to work after only one night of rest.
• Liu Bo inspected the Five Aggregates Spirit Fruit Tree and confirmed that True Man Mu had repaired it, then judged that the tree demon had likely exhausted itself.
• The Jade Mountain Manor Lord concluded that Nanny Xu had caused needless alarm and transferred the manor’s affairs to Jia Yan.
• The madam took Nanny Xu’s jade talisman and small cauldron, leaving Nanny Xu stunned and wondering what she had done wrong.

Wang Wu spent months cultivating his Ice Fire Spirit Root with Five Aggregates Spirit Pills, then discovered the manor’s array was close to failing and spotted a hostile watcher nearby. With the array’s Formation Stones nearly exhausted, he decided to seek Madam Jiayan’s help.

• Wang Wu used a ninth-grade Five Aggregates Spirit Pill to refine his Ice Fire Spirit Root and learned from its guidance, raising his cultivation progress to 2/100.
• Wang Wu monitored Jade Mountain Manor and saw Madam Jiayan visit him daily, tend the Five Aggregates Spirit Fruit Tree, and take her daughters out while causing no trouble.
• Wang Wu consumed all ten ninth-grade Five Aggregates Spirit Pills over half a year, but his cultivation progress only reached 11/100.
• Wang Wu discovered that a Formation Stone in the Five Aggregates Spirit Array was overloaded and would fail within days.
• Wang Wu spotted an old man in black using a Sky-Gazing Compass from a concealed formation to watch Jade Mountain Manor.
• Wang Wu realized he could not repair the array’s failing Formation Stone in time and decided to ask Madam Jiayan for help.

Wang Wu approached Madam Jiayan to repair a failing Formation Stone in the Five Aggregates Spirit Array, but she mistook him for a powerful enemy and offered to cooperate with him. After learning the Myriad Poisons Sect threatened Jade Mountain Manor, Wang Wu and Madam Jiayan traced the breach in the manor’s defenses to a jade talisman she had given Jade Gentleman.

• Wang Wu secretly approached Madam Jiayan and tried to explain that a Formation Stone in the Five Aggregates Spirit Array was about to fail.
• Madam Jiayan assumed Wang Wu had killed Jade Gentleman and offered to help him in exchange for sparing her daughters, while Wang Wu clarified that he had no vendetta against the manor.
• Madam Jiayan asked Wang Wu to become a guest elder and revealed that the manor had three hundred spare Formation Stones, but warned him that the Myriad Poisons Sect might be watching them.
• Madam Jiayan explained that Lu Wuchen’s campaign had devastated the Yu and Fan Families, and that the Myriad Poisons Sect had been threatening Jade Mountain Manor.
• Wang Wu asked who had placed the Five Poisons Profound Stone beneath the Five Aggregates Spirit Fruit Tree, and Madam Jiayan suspected the jade talisman she had given Jade Gentleman had let an informant into the array.

Wang Wu repaired the Five Aggregates Spirit Array and learned why Madam Yu feared the Myriad Poisons Sect and could not seek help from the Immortal Alliance. He agreed to protect Jade Mountain Manor while recovering there, and Madam Yu explained the burdens imposed on female cultivators.

• Wang Wu replaced 269 badly worn Formation Stones and discovered that most of the array would need replacement within a century.
• Madam Yu revealed that her sister Yu Jinyan had joined the Dark Alliance and attempted to assassinate Lu Wuchen's eldest son, leaving the Yu Family vulnerable to confiscation by the Immortal Alliance.
• Madam Yu explained that the Myriad Poisons Sect was watching Jade Mountain Manor in hopes of catching Yu Jinyan and proving the family colluded with the Dark Alliance.
• Wang Wu said he had not been sent by the Myriad Poisons Sect and promised to protect the manor for three years, while warning Madam Yu not to hide anything from him.
• Madam Yu offered to help Wang Wu heal his injuries and explained that she was a cauldron for harvesting and replenishing, while her sister had escaped marriage because of her Heavenly Realm First Rank potential.

Wang Wu used the Five Aggregates Spirit Array to refine eighth-grade Five Aggregates Spirit Pills, then swallowed one to force a dangerous breakthrough in his acquired cultivation. As his Ice Fire Spirit Root began to fracture and his cultivation foundation neared collapse, he chose to keep enduring the ordeal.

• Wang Wu gave Madam Yu a damaged Formation Stone, then told her he had lost his memories after a great battle and had been hunted for years.
• Madam Yu guessed that a Great Illusion King Worm in the Black Forest had caused Wang Wu's amnesia and suspected he had once been an Immortal Alliance formation master.
• Madam Yu gave Wang Wu twenty ninth-grade Five Aggregates Spirit Pills and a cauldron that could refine Spiritual Essence, and Wang Wu secretly monitored her for two days before trusting her.
• Wang Wu used the Five Aggregates Spirit Array to refine three eighth-grade Five Aggregates Spirit Pills and realized that repeated refining would wear out the manor's Formation Stones.
• Wang Wu swallowed an eighth-grade pill and endured its violent power as it battered his Ice Fire Spirit Root and threatened to destroy his cultivation foundation.

Wang Wu refined his Ice Fire Spirit Root into Ninth-Rank ice and fire roots, then sought comfort from Madam Yu and received the name Wang Zhige. Their quiet moment ended when Fan family cultivators arrived to strip Madam Yu of her authority and arrest her.

• Wang Wu endured the refinement of his Ice Fire Spirit Root, strengthening its balance and speeding up his spiritual-energy cycle, but learned that only one refinement remained and that he would soon need to condense a Spirit Pill.
• Wang Wu calmed himself, went to Madam Yu’s tutoring class, and accepted the name Wang Wu after she suggested Wang Zhige.
• Madam Yu proposed that Wang Wu stay with her and live peacefully, but he sensed an approaching guest and warned her to prepare.
• A Blood Crow brought Fan Chang’s handsome son and eleven cultivators to Jade Mountain Manor, where they demanded Madam Yu’s authority seal and Qi-Gathering Cauldron and accused her of colluding with the Dark Alliance.
• The cultivators ordered Madam Yu to surrender and face the Death Seekers Camp, while her eldest daughter defended her and was struck down by her half-brother.

Wang Wu manipulated the Five Aggregates Spirit Array and impersonated Yu Jinyan to draw the twelve Immortal Alliance cultivators away from Madam Yu without revealing his identity. He left the cultivators trapped and blaming Yu Jinyan, then used their attack on the array as cover to refine two Eighth Rank Five Aggregates Spirit Pills.

• Wang Wu reactivated the Five Aggregates Spirit Array, keeping the Blood Crow and Fan Xiaoyun outside long enough to distract them.
• Wang Wu disguised himself as Madam Yu, smashed the Dharma mirror, and fled, making the cultivators believe Yu Jinyan had appeared.
• Wang Wu opened the array's entrances, showed the cultivators a convincing silhouette of Yu Jinyan escaping, then shut the array again.
• Senior Brother Bai ordered the twelve cultivators to destroy the Five Aggregates Spirit Array, suspecting Yu Jinyan had killed the Blood Crow and Fan Xiaoyun.
• Wang Wu let the cultivators bombard the array and used the opportunity to refine two Eighth Rank Five Aggregates Spirit Pills.

Wang Wu destroyed the Five Aggregates Spirit Array while refining pills, leaving the Fan family and the Immortal Alliance cultivators scrambling to respond. As Fan Xiaoyun charged at Senior Brother Bai, Wang Wu realized that the supposed Fan Chang was an impostor—and that his little sister-in-law was behind the deception.

• Wang Wu used the Five Aggregates Spirit Array to refine two more Five Aggregates Spirit Pills before the array exhausted its Formation Stones and collapsed.
• Blood Crow fled to warn Fan Chang, while Senior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Chu tried to keep Fan Xiaoyun calm and called for reinforcements.
• Senior Brother Bai's group formed a defensive formation, escorted Madam Yu and her daughters inside, and left Wang Wu unable to rescue them immediately.
• Fan Xiaoyun accused the Immortal Alliance cultivators of conspiring against his family, then calmed down after Senior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Chu reassured him.
• A bedraggled figure claiming to be Fan Chang appeared and shouted for Fan Xiaoyun to run, but Senior Brother Bai called him an impostor and ordered the sword formation to attack.
• Fan Xiaoyun charged at Senior Brother Bai, and Wang Wu realized that Fan Xiaoyun was a fake and his little sister-in-law had taken Fan Chang's place.

Wang Wu witnessed Yu Jinyan rescue Madam Yu, then realized the Immortal Alliance had anticipated the operation and laid a wider trap. After escaping a First-Rank Sky-Veiling Spirit Talisman, he decided to leave Luoyue City and head north toward the Northern Wasteland while cautiously tempering his Destined Demonic Weapon.

• Yu Jinyan revealed herself, fought Senior Brother Bai, and escaped with Madam Yu and her daughters.
• Wang Wu noticed Senior Brother Bai and Junior Brother Chu investigating his Earth Evasion paths, and suspected the Immortal Alliance had set a trap for the Dark Alliance.
• Wolf Bu'er and a scruffy man arrived, and the man used a First-Rank Sky-Veiling Spirit Talisman that blocked Wang Wu's perception.
• Wang Wu fled two hundred miles after the talisman's effect faded and concluded the Immortal Alliance had anticipated the rescue and exposed the Dark Alliance's stronghold.
• Wang Wu decided to leave Luoyue City for the Northern Wasteland, traveling cautiously while tempering his Destined Demonic Weapon.
