Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng discovered that he could attempt to remove Nalan Jie’s Burning Poison and demanded the Nalan Family’s Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva as payment. After preparing pills and sleeping through the night, he arrived at the Nalan residence the next morning and followed Nalan Jie to begin treatment.

• Lin Feng examined Nalan Jie’s Burning Poison and claimed he had a way to resolve it.
• Lin Feng asked Nalan Jie for the Nalan Family’s Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva in exchange for treatment, and Nalan Jie agreed.
• Lin Feng prepared precautionary pills, had Fa Ma refine more Detoxification Pills, checked on Qing Lin, and went to bed instead of visiting the Nalan Family that night.
• Nalan Jie and Nalan Su waited through the night for Lin Feng, then fell asleep when he did not arrive.
• Lin Feng reached the Nalan Family the next morning, apologized awkwardly for his delay, and followed Nalan Jie to begin the treatment preparations.

Lin Feng treated Nalan Jie by drawing out and sealing the Burning Poison with his Five Elements Sealing Technique. Nalan Jie survived but needed several days to recover, and Lin Feng left expecting Nalan Su to deliver the Seven-Colored Illusionary Spirit Saliva.

• Lin Feng swallowed medicinal pills and explained that he would draw Nalan Jie's Burning Poison into his own poison-immune body.
• Lin Feng used his flames and Dou Qi to gather the Burning Poison, then sealed it with the Five Elements Sealing Technique.

• Lin Feng removed the purified, attribute-free energy from Nalan Jie and stored it in his Storage Ring.
• Nalan Su agreed to bring Lin Feng the Seven-Colored Illusionary Spirit Saliva after settling his father in the reception hall.

Lin Feng absorbed the Burning Poison’s energy in secluded cultivation and broke through to Five-star Dou Spirit, though the energy briefly disrupted his cultivation methods. When he returned, Qing Lin had awakened and reunited with him, while Lu Man recalled how she and Bai Ya had been forced to retreat from the Jia Ma Empire after their attempt to take Qing Lin provoked powerful defenders.

• Lin Feng began secluded cultivation after asking Xiao Yi Xian to care for Qing Lin, and the Burning Poison’s energy caused a brief lag in his Five Elements Art circulation.
• Lin Feng slowed his cultivation, then forced a breakthrough from Four-star to Five-star Dou Spirit.
• After leaving the secret chamber, Lin Feng found Qing Lin awake and embraced her as she tearfully said she had nearly lost the chance to see him again.
• Lu Man recalled how the Imperial Family’s awakened Nether Sea Flood Dragon Beast and approaching Misty Cloud Sect forces had thwarted her and Bai Ya’s attempt to take Qing Lin.
• As the gathered experts prepared to fight, a previously silent figure raised his head and said, “Stop...”

Lin Feng accepted Qing Lin’s decision to leave with Lu Man for training at the Heavenly Snake Manor, and gave her pills and advice before she departed. Watching her go, he resolved to grow stronger, while Xiao Yi Xian announced that she would enter secluded cultivation too.

• Qing Lin threatened to hurt herself unless Lu Man and Bai Ya stopped trying to take her away by force, so Lu Man agreed to wait with her until Lin Feng emerged from secluded cultivation.
• Lin Feng challenged Lu Man’s claim that Qing Lin needed the Heavenly Snake Manor’s training, then asked Qing Lin what she wanted.
• Qing Lin chose to go to the Heavenly Snake Manor so she could become stronger and protect Lin Feng, and Lin Feng respected her choice.
• Lin Feng gave Qing Lin a Storage Ring of Five Elements Pills and asked Lu Man to protect her; Qing Lin then spent her last day with Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian.
• The next morning, Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian watched Qing Lin depart on the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor, and Lin Feng regretted not being strong enough to keep her with him.
• Xiao Yi Xian told Lin Feng that she was preparing to enter secluded cultivation, and Lin Feng agreed.

Lin Feng entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range to battle a powerful Demonic Beast and stabilize his Dou Qi. He fought the Dark Demonic Ape to a mutual injury, then gave it healing pills so he could continue training against it.

• Lin Feng left the town behind and flew toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range, seeking a strong opponent to stabilize his Dou Qi.
• He avoided disturbing the monkey troop and headed for Dark Canyon, where Mu Chen had reported a solitary Rank 4 Dark Demonic Ape.
• Lin Feng concealed his and the canyon’s auras with the Five Elements Sealing Technique, then used Soul Force to locate the ape in the darkness.
• Lin Feng ambushed the Dark Demonic Ape, then fought it barehanded through repeated clashes to absorb the Monkey Wine’s medicinal power and strengthen his body.
• The fight left Lin Feng and the ape badly injured, so Lin Feng took healing pills and tossed another bottle to the ape before flying upward.

Lin Feng used Body Tempering Fluid mixed with Monkey Wine to strengthen his physique and stabilize his Dou Qi. He then returned to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to fight the Dark Demonic Ape, which transformed into a Rank 5 beast and charged at him.

• Lin Feng entered a wooden tub of Body Tempering Fluid and Monkey Wine, enduring intense pain as the medicine tempered his body.
• After absorbing the medicinal liquid, Lin Feng found his physique nearly matched a Mid-tier Rank 4 Magical Beast and his Dou Qi crystal had stabilized.
• Lin Feng chose to delay taking a Five Elements Pill and headed into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gain battle experience.
• Lin Feng returned to the Dark Demonic Ape and caught the Giant Stone it threw, then hurled it back.
• The Dark Demonic Ape used Berserk Transformation, grew to thirty meters, and reached Rank 5 before charging at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng defeated the Dark Demonic Ape, then killed the Crimson Tusker Pig King while tempering himself against powerful Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. After more than four months of training and reaching Peak Dou Ling, he decided to return to the Imperial Capital and flew off on a Griffin.

• Lin Feng overcame the weakened Dark Demonic Ape with Lightning, Adamantine Finger, left it medicine bottles, and departed; the ape pretended to be dead before taking them.

• Lin Feng continued battling Magical Beasts and gathering medicinal ingredients, improving his Dou Qi control and physical strength with Body Tempering Fluid.
• Lin Feng reached Peak Dou Ling but could not advance further, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s presence prompted him to consider leaving the mountain range.
• Lin Feng wondered how Xiao Yi Xian was doing, summoned a Griffin with a flute, and set off toward the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.

• Lin Feng prepared the ingredients and began refining the Seven Star Spirit Wood Pill under Fa Ma’s observation.
• Lin Feng extracted the ingredients and tried to fuse their energy clusters, but the cauldron nearly exploded.

• Fa Ma explained that Fifth-grade Pills required harmonizing medicinal properties with the fluctuations of heaven and earth energy.
• Lin Feng understood why his refinement had failed and agreed to calm himself before continuing.

Lin Feng refined a Seven Star Spirit Wood Pill and advanced to become a Fifth-grade Alchemist, drawing the attention of Jia Xingtian and other faction leaders. After choosing to keep his advancement quiet, Lin Feng experienced a sudden opportunity and vanished from the alchemy chamber.

• Lin Feng corrected his technique and successfully refined the Seven Star Spirit Wood Pill, with Fa Ma recognizing him as a Fifth-grade Alchemist.
• The pill’s fragrance spread across the Imperial Capital, and Jia Xingtian, Yao Ye, Mitter Tengshan, Nalan Jie, and other leaders suspected Lin Feng had advanced.
• Fa Ma offered to hold a celebration, but Lin Feng warned that publicizing his achievement could attract danger, so Fa Ma agreed to claim he had refined the pill.
• Lin Feng felt a sudden opportunity arise, asked Fa Ma to inform Xiao Yi Xian, and vanished from the secret chamber.

After half a month in seclusion, Lin Feng broke through to the Dou Wang realm and discovered that his physical strength and wings had grown dramatically. His flight drew the attention of the Imperial Capital’s powerful figures, who gathered at the Alchemist Guild grounds to learn who had broken through.

• Xiao Yi Xian visited Lin Feng’s sealed chamber and told him the Jia Nan Academy recruitment would begin in three days.

• Fa Ma said the person responsible would arrive soon, then looked toward the sky in surprise.

Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian left the Imperial Capital for Jia Nan Academy, with Lin Feng hiding his Dou Wang strength from the Misty Cloud Sect. At the academy’s recruitment site, Lin Feng asked to join as an elder while Xiao Yi Xian sought admission as a student.

Lin Feng revealed that he was a Dou Wang and Fourth-grade Alchemist while helping Xiao Yi Xian enroll at Jia Nan Academy, where her extraordinary talent won her the highest assessment tier and a place in Instructor Ruo Lin’s class. After a leisurely afternoon together, Lin Feng left the inn at night, and an unseen attacker struck a young man cultivating at the Xiao Clan.

• That night, Lin Feng reminded Xiao Yi Xian of something, dressed in black, and left the inn alone.
• At the Xiao Clan, a young man cultivating in his room stopped in frustration, and an unseen object struck him, knocking him onto the bed.

Lin Feng traded information about the Soul Hall and Han Feng to Yao Chen for alchemy techniques, pill recipes, and the Poison Pill Method. The next morning, Lin Feng told Xiao Yi Xian what had happened, but she urged him to keep the Poison Pill Method and held that staying by his side mattered more than advancing.

• Yao Chen asked Lin Feng about Han Feng and learned that Han Feng had become known as the Medicine Emperor in the Black Corner Region.
