• Yuan Kui said his race could shield itself from time and that, despite crossing tens of thousands of years, he was currently about as strong as a Four-star Dou Zong with a lifespan of roughly one thousand years.

Yuan Kui told Lin Feng how the Saint Clan invaded the Dou Qi Continent, how the Dragon Phoenix and Flame Emperor helped defeat them, and how the war consumed the continent’s Origin Qi.

• Lin Feng reached Tianbei City with Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan, then paid a guard with a Two-pattern Azure Spirit Pill to guide them to the Han Clan and explain the city’s factions.
• The guard warned Lin Feng that the Hong Clan had grown stronger and was trying to seize the Han Clan’s Space Wormhole management rights, while its prodigy intended to marry Han Yue.
• At the Han Clan residence, Lin Feng overheard the Hong Family Head demand that Han Yue marry his son and dismiss the Han Clan’s claim that she had pledged herself to a young Peak Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

• Han Yue and the Han Clan welcomed Lin Feng, and he confirmed that he had come to resolve their troubles under their existing agreement.

As Han Yue considered what Cai Lin and Zi Yan told her about the challenges of following Lin Feng, his pill neared completion after three days of refinement.

• Han Chi offered to place the Han Clan under Lin Feng's command and proposed that Han Yue and Han Xue become his concubines, but Cai Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zi Yan intimidated the clan with their auras.

Lin Feng killed the Hong Family Patriarch and forced the Han Clan to help exterminate the Hong Clan, then waited in Tianbei City for the Wind and Thunder Pavilion’s response. At the pavilion, Fei Tian refused to avenge Hong Chen and expelled him to protect the Wind and Thunder Pavilion from Lin Feng and the powerful alchemist believed to be backing him.

• Lin Feng killed the Hong Family Patriarch and told Han Fei that the Han Clan could earn his protection by joining him in destroying the Hong Clan.
• Han Fei led the Han Clan against the Hong Clan, while Lin Feng sent Zi Yan, Cai Lin, and Xian Er to eliminate the clan’s remaining elders.

• Hong Chen demanded revenge at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, but Fei Tian warned that Lin Feng might be backed by an Eighth-Grade Alchemy Master.
• Fei Tian revealed that Hong Chen had misused the pavilion’s name, and the elders agreed to expel him rather than risk a conflict with Lin Feng.

• Lin Feng perfected the initial stage of Great Sage Gui Yuan’s Soul Divine Needle technique and concluded that it could let him contend with an early-stage Dou Zun.
• Lin Feng and his companions arrived in Pill City, bought a courtyard, and agreed to gather ingredients so he could refine Seventh-grade Pills and attract the Pill Tower’s upper ranks.

• For ten consecutive days, pill lightning gathered over Pill City at dawn, and Lin Feng shattered it with his physical strength as onlookers watched.

After building his reputation in Pill City, Lin Feng went to the Pill Tower seeking a High-grade Seventh-Rank Alchemist assessment, but the branch tower instead sent him to meet Xuan Kong Zi. As Lin Feng entered the Pill Tower’s upper chamber, Tian Lei Zi prepared to take him as a disciple while Xuan Yi watched him with keen interest.

• Old Man Mo collected a life-extending pill from Lin Feng and prepared to use it alongside the resources he had earned through their trades.

• Tian Lei Zi declared that he wanted to take Lin Feng as his disciple, while Xuan Yi turned her attention to Lin Feng as he entered the chamber.

• Tian Lei Zi offered to take Lin Feng as his disciple, but Lin Feng declined.

• Tian Lei Zi gave Lin Feng two scrolls containing his alchemy insights and lightning techniques, then left after Lin Feng refused to become his disciple.
• Xuan Kong Zi and Xuan Yi urged Lin Feng to keep the scrolls and accompanied him, Cao Ying, and Lin Feng to the Pill Tower assessment.
