Jiang Ping'an moved into Feiquan Cave Mansion and suspected that True Lord Xuan Luo had accepted him as a Registered Disciple for a hidden, dangerous purpose. After Jiang Ping'an began studying a Qi Refining cultivation method, Wang Zhongyou ordered Yu Lianhua to use dual cultivation to help raise and monitor his cultivation.

• Yu Lianhua showed Jiang Ping'an Biyou Peak’s scenic sights and brought him to Feiquan Cave Mansion, where he declined her offer to assign Ziling to serve him.

• Yu Lianhua reluctantly agreed after Wang Zhongyou promised to help her achieve Foundation Establishment when she reached Qi Refining Realm perfection.

Jiang Ping'an secretly mastered the Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon’s early Qi Refining method but decided to pretend to study it for several days.

• Yu Lianhua left thinking Jiang Ping'an was handsome and impressive, but suspected her master's order for her to serve him concealed a deeper scheme.

• Yu Lianhua examined Jiang Ping'an's Spirit Talismans and Golden Marrow Pills, realized the pills were perfect quality, and suspected he had refined them himself.

• Yu Lianhua revealed that she was selling perfect-quality Golden Marrow Pills for twenty-four spirit stones per bottle, and Young Master Song bought three bottles.
• Ziling displayed the pills for the crowd, and Yu Lianhua explained that their perfect quality made them worth the high price.

Jiang Ping'an received the proceeds from Yu Lianhua’s sale of his pills, then accepted her guidance on refining True Qi while both she and Wang Zhongyou questioned how much he truly understood. He began refining Nether True Qi in his cultivation chamber, where its power immediately assaulted his consciousness with illusions and the wails of the dead.

He strengthened Shadow Escape into three greater divine abilities and discovered his Spiritual Sense could now strike with formidable force, though he resolved to conceal it from True Lord Xuan Luo.

• Jiang Ping'an refined a portion of Nether True Qi over twenty-seven days and advanced to the Qi Refining Realm, beginning to form a Nether Dao Body.

• Jiang Ping'an manifested a golden Spiritual Sense palm that struck a deep print into the floor, then resolved not to use Spiritual Sense against enemies before True Lord Xuan Luo acted.

Jiang Ping'an returned after successfully refining Nether True Qi and advancing to the Qi Refining Realm, then discussed his condition and living arrangements with Wang Zhongyou. Wang Zhongyou ordered Yu Lianhua to seduce Jiang Ping'an within a month, and she began by visiting him and offering to accompany him to register as an Outer Sect Disciple.

• Jiang Ping'an visited Wang Zhongyou, who congratulated him on entering the Qi Refining Realm and advised him to ignore the ghostly murmurs and take yang-natured spirit pills for his yin chill.
• Jiang Ping'an said he planned to leave Biyou Peak, but Wang Zhongyou persuaded him to stay in Feiquan Cave Mansion and said Nie Jianyuan had been sent away to stand on his own.
• After Jiang Ping'an left, Wang Zhongyou ordered Yu Lianhua to make Jiang Ping'an like her and cultivate with him within one month.
• Yu Lianhua told Wang Zhongyou she lacked confidence, but he refused to grant her more time, and she reluctantly agreed.
• Yu Lianhua visited Jiang Ping'an, congratulated him, and offered her Jade Luo Incense Silk Scarf as a gift, but he refused to take her protective Magic Tool.
• Yu Lianhua offered to accompany Jiang Ping'an to Azure Origin Peak to register as an Outer Sect Disciple, and he accepted.

Jiang Ping'an registered as an Outer Sect Disciple and went with Yu Lianhua to seek the Yang He Pill recipe, but its cost forced him to buy pills at the market instead. There he encountered Shen Jing, who felt bitter seeing him with Yu Lianhua, one of the Top Ten Fairies.

• Yu Lianhua took Jiang Ping'an to Azure Origin Peak, where he registered as an Outer Sect Disciple and received new robes and an Identity Jade Token.
• Jiang Ping'an learned that the Yang He Pill recipe cost more merit and spirit stones than he had, so he decided to buy pills at Fulong Daping Valley Market.

• Jiang Ping'an bought two bottles of Yang He Pills from Pill Treasure Pavilion.

The next day, Yu Lianhua brought him a congratulatory gift, and he asked to borrow her spirit boat, leaving her to delay while she sought Wang Zhongyou's instructions.

• Jiang Ping'an bought Yang He Pills and Golden Marrow Pill ingredients, intending to visit Dangjin Mountain, explain his missed deliveries, and return the Dangjin Peak Token.

• Jiang Ping'an refused Yu Lianhua's gift but asked to borrow her spirit boat for three months instead.
• Yu Lianhua worried Jiang Ping'an might use the spirit boat to flee and delayed lending it until the day after tomorrow so she could ask Wang Zhongyou for instructions.

Yu Lianhua shared Hundred Flower Spirit Wine with Jiang Ping'an and told him about the other Top Ten Fairies, while he remained oblivious to her advances. She later lent him a Spirit Boat, which he quietly used to leave Biyou Peak for Mirror Lake Mountain as Wang Zhongyou followed him.

• Yu Lianhua offered Jiang Ping'an her homemade Hundred Flower Spirit Wine, and they drank together.
• Jiang Ping'an asked Yu Lianhua about the other Top Ten Fairies, and she introduced them, including Yue Qingning and Xue Luoyi.
• Yu Lianhua told Jiang Ping'an she was no worse than the other Fairies, but he only agreed that she was beautiful.
• Yu Lianhua obtained Wang Zhongyou's permission to lend Jiang Ping'an a Spirit Boat and taught him its control incantation.
• Late that night, Jiang Ping'an piloted the Spirit Boat from Biyou Peak toward Mirror Lake Mountain while Wang Zhongyou followed at a distance.

Jiang Ping'an visited Dongfang Jintang, but their meeting turned into an argument and a brief fight when he tried to leave. They put their weapons away, and Dongfang Jintang undressed and allowed Jiang Ping'an to embrace her.

• Jiang Ping'an arrived at Mirror Lake Mountain and found Dongfang Jintang drinking alone in her cave abode.
• Jiang Ping'an told Dongfang Jintang he was now a Registered Disciple of True Lord Xuan Luo and said he would leave when she continued to regard him with killing intent.
• Dongfang Jintang shut the cave abode gates, and Jiang Ping'an demanded she open them before kicking the gates in anger.
• Dongfang Jintang attacked Jiang Ping'an with the Ice Crystal Sword, and their fight stalled when his lightning spell struck his own shield.
• Jiang Ping'an and Dongfang Jintang stopped fighting, and Dongfang Jintang undressed and let him pull her into his embrace.

Jiang Ping'an ended his encounter with Dongfang Jintang and focused on refining Golden Marrow Pills, while asking He Zudao about Yue Qingning and her dangerous sect. He later returned his Dangjin Peak Token and sold Wei Tongcheng ten bottles of pills, then planned to stay in his cave abode and continue refining more.

• Jiang Ping'an stayed with Dongfang Jintang after their exchange, then left the next afternoon and returned to Biyou Peak.
• Jiang Ping'an refined a batch of Golden Marrow Pills and visited He Zudao with wine and food, asking him about Yue Qingning.

Jiang Ping'an accepted a formation-refining task and received a generous reward and monthly allowance from True Lord Xuan Luo. Though he promised to cultivate diligently, he privately sought ways to accelerate his Spiritual Sense and delay Foundation Establishment, before Yu Lianhua arrived at his cave abode.

• Jiang Ping'an accepted a task to refine Bewildering Trail Array Flags and collected the materials from Lesser Xuan Peak, where he met manager Zhou Yunan.
• Qingyuan summoned Jiang Ping'an to Biguang Cave Mansion, where Wang Zhongyou gave him five hundred spirit stones and three thousand merit points bestowed by True Lord Xuan Luo.
• Wang Zhongyou told Jiang Ping'an that True Lord Xuan Luo would also provide him with one hundred spirit stones and three hundred merit points each month, with larger allowances as his cultivation advanced.
• Jiang Ping'an returned to Feiquan Cave Mansion and privately resolved to find a long-term dual cultivation partner and obtain the Union with the Heavenly Dao technique to grow his Spiritual Sense faster.
• Yu Lianhua arrived at Jiang Ping'an's cave abode dressed more revealingly than usual.

Jiang Ping'an welcomed Yu Lianhua, who had been ordered by Wang Zhongyou to draw close to him, and their flirtation turned into a kiss before Wang Yichen interrupted them. Jiang Ping'an let Yu Lianhua change clothes and waited as Wang Yichen attacked his cave abode’s Defense Array.

• Jiang Ping'an told Yu Lianhua that True Lord Xuan Luo had offered to support his cultivation.
• Yu Lianhua confessed that she missed Jiang Ping'an, then danced for him and drew him into an embrace.
• Yu Lianhua kissed Jiang Ping'an, and he returned the kiss before Wang Yichen demanded an audience from outside.
• Yu Lianhua warned Jiang Ping'an that Wang Yichen was arrogant and might attack him, then went to change clothes.
• Wang Yichen attacked Jiang Ping'an's Defense Array, but the formation held without affecting the cave abode's interior.

Jiang Ping'an let Wang Yichen exhaust himself attacking the Defense Array while he calmly drank tea with Yu Lianhua, then provoked him once the array opened. Wang Zhongyou arrived just as Wang Yichen prepared to use a talisman treasure, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Yu Lianhua confirmed Wang Yichen had pursued her, and Jiang Ping'an asked her to protect him when the array opened.

• Jiang Ping'an taunted Wang Yichen about his jealousy, prompting Wang Yichen to prepare a talisman treasure.
• Wang Zhongyou appeared and ordered Wang Yichen to stop before he could use the talisman treasure.

• Wang Yichen surrendered his Top-grade Spirit Boat and accepted exile to Nanshui County, Bing Prefecture, for the rest of his life.

• Yuan Zilin and Jiang Yanping approached Jiang Ping'an at the meeting, while Chen Qiming and Zhang Zhongzhi speculated that he was interested in Yue Qingning.

• After Ziling reported Jiang Ping'an's inquiry, Yu Lianhua dismissed her concern that he did not care for her and ordered Ziling to serve him that night.
• Yu Lianhua told Ziling to prepare herself and said she might as well die at Feiquan Cave Mansion if Jiang Ping'an refused her; Ziling obeyed.

Yu Lianhua sent her maid Ziling to Jiang Ping'an, who used dual cultivation with her while planning to play along with True Lord Xuan Luo and Wang Zhongyou. Ziling returned to Yu Lianhua before dawn and reported that she had benefited from the experience, and Yu Lianhua told her to visit Jiang again the following night.

• Yu Lianhua first excused Ziling from attending Jiang Ping'an, but agreed to send her after Ziling insisted she wanted to share her burdens.

• Before dawn, Ziling returned to Yu Lianhua and reported that Jiang's technique had benefited her cultivation rather than diminishing it.
• Yu Lianhua ordered Ziling to return to Jiang's cave the next night and questioned her about the experience.

At the Dao Discussion Grounds, Jiang Ping'an publicly asked Yue Qingning to discuss the Dual Cultivation Technique, provoking other cultivators to attack him. Protected by True Lord Xuan Luo’s jade talisman, he left with Yue Qingning, who warned him to have a truly outstanding technique.

• Jiang Ping'an attended the Dao discussion and waited for Yue Qingning to arrive, while most of the gathering went out to welcome her.
• After the discussion paused, Jiang Ping'an asked Yue Qingning in front of everyone to discuss the Dual Cultivation Technique.
• Several male cultivators attacked Jiang Ping'an, but he activated True Lord Xuan Luo's jade talisman, forcing the hall to its knees and knocking the attackers' swords down.
• Yue Qingning agreed to Jiang Ping'an's request, and the two left the hall together on his spirit boat.
• After Jiang Ping'an explained that his public request was meant as respect, Yue Qingning warned him that True Lord Xuan Luo might not protect him if his technique was unimpressive.

Jiang Ping'an met Yue Qingning to discuss exchanging cultivation manuals, but learned that the manual he sought was unavailable and unsuitable for him. After deciding to focus on Spiritual Sense and arrays to overcome his predicament, he returned to Biyou Peak, where Ziling joined him for the night.

• Jiang Ping'an met Yue Qingning at Mirror Lake Mountain and offered to exchange the Ode to Yin-Yang Bliss for her peak's Dual Cultivation Manual for Union with the Heavenly Dao.
• Yue Qingning refused, explaining that the manual was secret and unsuitable for male cultivators, and proposed that they keep in frequent contact.
• Jiang Ping'an suspected Yue Qingning shared his dangerous predicament and concluded that mastering Spiritual Sense and arrays offered his best chance against stronger opponents.
• Jiang Ping'an returned to Flying Spring Cave on Biyou Peak, where Ziling arrived and attended to him.
