Chapter Summaries

Ye Weiming worked out that the quest ended after players killed all four of the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, then collected his reward and learned what Xiao Qiao had won. As they went to exchange their quest points, Master Lingzhi blocked them and demanded that Ye Weiming return something to Wanyan Kang.

• Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao headed to exchange their rewards, but Master Lingzhi stopped them and demanded that Ye Weiming hand over something that belonged to Wanyan Kang.

Ye Weiming handed Wanyan Kang the embroidered shoe, then watched Prince Zhao's Estate guards carry him beyond the safe zone as players attacked and were defeated. Despite Yin Bukui's claim that Wanyan Kang could not die because of his role in the story, Ye Weiming and Transparent Sky Bridge received a system announcement for killing him, and Wanyan Kang would not respawn.

• Xiao Qiao showed Ye Weiming the Quanzhen Swordsmanship and Golden Goose Skill manuals she had obtained, and Ye Weiming shared links to his two strange drops, Dagger and Letter.

Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao examined Wanyan Kang’s drops and helped Mu Nianci pack up after the Martial Arts Contest for Marriage. Mu Nianci revealed that Hong Qigong had taught her martial arts, but Ye Weiming received no reward before he and Xiao Qiao set off to find Wang Chuyi.

• Ye Weiming recognized that the dagger’s Plot-Piercing Power could let him enter storyline quests without prerequisites, while he and Xiao Qiao found a letter that could only be opened after the quest ended.
• Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao helped Mu Nianci pack up as she repeatedly tried to draw Ye Weiming into asking about her martial arts.
• Ye Weiming realized Mu Nianci might be hinting at an unclaimed quest reward and asked whether she had another master.
• Mu Nianci said Hong Qigong had instructed her for three days when she was thirteen, then ignored Ye Weiming and chatted with Xiao Qiao.
• After seeing Mu Nianci off without receiving a reward, Ye Weiming dismissed Xiao Qiao’s teasing and headed with her up Pinggu Peak to find Wang Chuyi.

Ye Weiming and Xiao Qiao received Wang Chuyi’s quest to rescue Madam Yang from Prince Zhao’s Estate, but had to reach Level 40 before they could undertake it. After parting ways, Ye Weiming tried to eat some leftover roasted wolf meat, only for someone to snatch it from his hand.

• Xiao Qiao invited Ye Weiming to visit Tanggu Town and shop for accessories, but he made an excuse and they parted ways.
• Ye Weiming stopped to eat a piece of leftover Roasted Wolf Meat, then wondered whether Xiao Qiao had bitten it before.
• Just as Ye Weiming prepared to bite the meat, someone snatched it from his hand.

Ye Weiming met Hong Qigong, who took his roasted wolf meat and rewarded him with a move from the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Hong Qigong vanished after giving him the technique, while the quest’s remaining rewards were still unresolved.

• Hong Qigong appeared beside Ye Weiming and sampled his roasted wolf meat.
• Ye Weiming explained that the meat had been bitten during battle and that he was unsure which pieces he or his friend had bitten.
• Hong Qigong ate the remaining roasted meat after Ye Weiming offered it to him.
• Ye Weiming realized Hong Qigong had likely come to deliver the final reward for the Martial Arts Contest for Marriage quest.
• Hong Qigong gave Ye Weiming the advanced move Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act and disappeared.

Ye Weiming studied the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms manual and learned the advanced move Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act, then tested its explosive counterattack against a tree. Before he could study another manual, Sha Tong Tian found him and challenged him to a fight.

• Ye Weiming learned that his performance in the Martial Arts Contest for Marriage and his food offering to Hong Qigong had earned him the Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act manual.
• Ye Weiming comprehended Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act and discovered that its palm force erupted when his hand made contact with a target.
• Ye Weiming used the move to blast a small tree in two and considered how to use the counterattack in combat.
• Ye Weiming took out the Polearm Mastery Insights to study, but Sha Tong Tian appeared and accused him of killing his junior brother and causing the Young Prince's death.

Ye Weiming fought Sha Tong Tian after triggering a quest that temporarily raised his Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act to maximum level. He struck Sha Tong Tian with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, then prepared to attack while the boss was still reeling.

• Ye Weiming inspected Sha Tong Tian’s stats and received the one-star Might of Dragon Subduing quest.
• Sha Tong Tian attacked with his iron oar, and Ye Weiming was gradually overwhelmed while fighting with Quanzhen Swordsmanship.
• Hong Qigong watched from a tree and held back, expecting Ye Weiming to use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
• Ye Weiming feigned weakness and struck Sha Tong Tian’s hand and arm with Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act, sending him flying and dealing heavy damage.
• Ye Weiming took out a Steel Bullet as Sha Tong Tian reeled, revealing that he had endured the fight to slay him rather than merely subdue him.

Ye Weiming used a surprise attack and a series of crippling blows to kill Sha Tong Tian, the Level 55 Ghost Gate Dragon King, and completed the quest. Hong Qigong arrived to give him his reward, only to find that Ye Weiming had already defeated the enemy he had planned to rescue him from.

• Ye Weiming disabled Sha Tong Tian's remaining hand, pinned him to the ground, and killed him with repeated Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act strikes.
• Ye Weiming gained experience, advanced to Level 23, and completed the special quest Might of Dragon Subduing.
• Players, including Xiao Qiao, were stunned by the announcement that Ye Weiming had soloed a Level 55 BOSS.
• Ye Weiming raised Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act to Level 8 before greeting Hong Qigong, who realized Ye Weiming had ruined his planned rescue and grand entrance.

After Hong Qigong guided Ye Weiming’s “Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act” to Level 9, Ye Weiming looted and buried Sha Tong Tian and discovered a hidden quest in a letter from Qin Nanqin. He set out to rescue her alone within three days, or Yang Kang’s son Yang Guo would eventually hunt him down.

• Hong Qigong praised Ye Weiming for defeating Sha Tong Tian, corrected his understanding of “Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act,” and raised the technique to Level 9.
• Hong Qigong explained that Ye Weiming’s prior training had limited the guidance he could give, then departed.
• Ye Weiming looted Sha Tong Tian’s corpse, collected insights from his coffin, and buried him with Hou Tong Hai.
• Ye Weiming opened the letter he had taken from Yang Kang and found Qin Nanqin’s plea for help.
• Ye Weiming received the six-star hidden quest to rescue Qin Nanqin alone within three days, with the penalty that Yang Guo would later hunt him if he failed.

After learning that Yang Guo could become a formidable enemy if Ye Weiming failed to rescue Qin Nanqin, Ye Weiming tracked her plea to Ruohua Manor. He entered the manor using a dagger engraved with “Guo Jing” as a token, but the danger inside remained unclear.

• Ye Weiming received a quest connected to Yang Guo and asked Yin Bukui about Yang Guo’s strength and Qin Nanqin’s identity.
• Yin Bukui warned Ye Weiming that Yang Guo, his wife, and his Condor were powerful, then urged him to complete the quest at any cost.
• Ye Weiming used Ah Huang to track Qin Nanqin’s plea for help to Ruohua Manor outside Tianjin City.
• Ah Huang became terrified near the manor, but Ye Weiming approached the gate and claimed the Young Prince had sent him to find Qin Nanqin.
• The gatekeeper recognized Ye Weiming’s “Guo Jing” dagger and invited him inside.

Ye Weiming prepared for the dangerous mission by improving his skills, then entered Ruohua Manor and discovered a suspicious sealed room before meeting Qin Nanqin. He claimed Wanyan Kang had private words for her, and when the guard challenged him, Ye Weiming flicked the guard’s temple.

• Ye Weiming used his insight manuals and cultivation to raise Primal Chaos Skill to level 6, Eight-Step Toad Leap to level 7, and Tai Shan's Secret to level 4.
• Ye Weiming noticed a sealed room surrounded by withered plum trees, and the manor guard warned him to stay away from it.

• Ye Weiming asked Qin Nanqin for a private audience and said the young prince had sent him with a message.
• The guard accused Ye Weiming of lying, so Ye Weiming beckoned him closer and flicked his temple for 8211 damage.

Ye Weiming found Qin Nanqin and offered to kill Wanyan Kang and help her escape, learning that she was pregnant and intent on revenge. After Qin Nanqin agreed to leave with him, a fearsome white-skinned woman burst into the chamber.

• Ye Weiming silently killed a manor guard and told Qin Nanqin he had come because of her plea for help.
• Qin Nanqin explained that Wanyan Kang had forced himself on her and that she planned to kill him and then take her own life, despite being pregnant.
• Ye Weiming offered to kill Wanyan Kang and take Qin Nanqin away, and she agreed to go with him.
• Ye Weiming revealed that he had already killed Wanyan Kang and found her letter and a dagger on his body.
• A loose-haired woman blasted apart the chamber door and appeared before Ye Weiming and Qin Nanqin.

Ye Weiming faced Mei Chaofeng, who attacked him over Wanyan Kang’s death, and discovered that her strength was far beyond his own. He used her reaction to Finger Flicking Divine Power to bluff that Peach Blossom Island was behind him, while keeping the Flying Flower Sword Token ready to summon Huang Yaoshi.

• Mei Chaofeng confronted Ye Weiming and demanded to know whether he had killed her disciple, Wanyan Kang.
• Ye Weiming provoked Mei Chaofeng into attacking and saw that her level and attributes were displayed as unknown.
• Mei Chaofeng tore apart Ye Weiming’s Hidden Dragon, Do Not Act palm force with her claws.
• Ye Weiming struck at Mei Chaofeng with Finger Flicking Divine Power, making her retreat and ask how he knew the technique.
• Ye Weiming claimed Peach Blossom Island was handling business and prepared to summon Huang Yaoshi with the Flying Flower Sword Token.

Ye Weiming rescued the pregnant Qin Nanqin from Ruohua Manor and learned that her unborn child could become Yang Guo, whose role the system might preserve despite Yang Kang’s death. After bringing Qin Nanqin to safety, he faced her request to name the child.

• Mei Chaofeng snatched Ye Weiming’s Flying Flower Sword Token, recognized it, and fled when he threatened to summon Huang Yaoshi.
• Ye Weiming defeated the manor guards who attacked him, then carried Qin Nanqin out of Ruohua Manor and away from Tianjin City.
• While fleeing, Ye Weiming read Yin Bukui’s detailed walkthrough and learned that Qin Nanqin’s unborn child could take Yang Kang’s place as Yang Guo.
• Ye Weiming brought Qin Nanqin to a safe area near That Village and offered to help her find a place to settle.
• Qin Nanqin thanked Ye Weiming and asked him to name the child in her belly.

Ye Weiming rescued Qin Nanqin, helped her choose names for her unborn children, and received a powerful treasure artifact as a reward. After escorting her to That Village, he checked in with Fei Yu and Sanyue and learned that every villager was named Wang Fugui.

• Ye Weiming proposed naming Qin Nanqin’s son Yang Goudan and daughter Yang Hua, but Qin Nanqin threatened that the children might seek revenge if bullied, so he agreed to Yang Guo, courtesy name Gai Zhi, and Mi’er.
• Qin Nanqin thanked Ye Weiming with a Blood Feather Crown and a letter documenting her experiences, and the hidden quest to rescue her was completed.
• Ye Weiming tested the crown’s poison resistance, then escorted Qin Nanqin toward That Village before heading to Fortune Restaurant for food.
• Fei Yu reported that the Mount Song Sect’s players were gathering evidence against Yu Canghai, while Sanyue reported meeting Qi Qi, the owner of a suspicious inn near Qingcheng Mountain.
• Ye Weiming asked Sanyue when Qi Qi would appear, then learned from the restaurant waiter that everyone in That Village was named Wang Fugui.

Ye Weiming and Sanyue visited Qi Qi to learn more about the Qingcheng Sect intelligence broker, and Ye Weiming discovered that Qi Qi also traded equipment. Qi Qi offered to reveal his secret method for making money in exchange for the foundation behind Ye Weiming’s rapid growth.

• Ye Weiming met Sanyue near Qingcheng Mountain, and she praised his recent achievements before he offered her a powerful spear and beginner spear technique.
• Sanyue declined the spear, explaining that she did not want to change her chosen martial-arts path or spend cultivation points on a potentially temporary skill.
• Ye Weiming and Sanyue entered Qi Qi Fast-Food Inn, ordered four meals to meet the spending requirement, and waited for Qi Qi.
• Qi Qi recognized Ye Weiming and showed him a list of equipment for sale, including five Gold-grade items and dozens of lower-grade pieces.
• Ye Weiming asked Qi Qi how he had built his intelligence network so quickly, and Qi Qi offered to share his money-making method in exchange for the secret behind Ye Weiming’s rapid growth.

Ye Weiming questioned Qi Qi about the Qingcheng Sect and recognized him as a key influence on the coming operation. He spent more than ten days leveling on Jianshan Penglai Island, then reunited with Sanyue and Fei Yu to prepare for Yu Canghai’s birthday banquet.

• Ye Weiming questioned Qi Qi about the storm threatening the Qingcheng Sect and learned his prices for intelligence, while Sanyue confirmed Qi Qi was telling the truth.
• Ye Weiming told Sanyue that Qi Qi could influence the mission more than Yu Canghai because players shaped the game’s storylines.
• Ye Weiming left Qingcheng Mountain and traveled by carriage and ship to Jianshan Penglai Island to level up for Wang Chuyi’s rescue mission.
• Ye Weiming spent more than ten days training on the island, raising his level from 23 to 27 with 86% experience.
• Ye Weiming met Sanyue and Fei Yu ahead of time to prepare to finish the operation at Yu Canghai’s birthday banquet.

After training on Jianshan Penglai Island, Ye Weiming met Fei Yu and Sanyue to discuss the approaching birthday banquet for Yu Canghai. A message that Yue Buqun had appeared and berated Linghu Chong left Ye Weiming confident that Yue was preparing an unexpected move, while Qi Qi’s plans remained unclear.

• Ye Weiming finished his secluded training, equipped two new Gold-grade items, and sold other drops through Sanyue.
• Ye Weiming arrived late to meet Fei Yu and Sanyue after killing Bingwu Jinichi, then sold Fei Yu the rogue ninja’s forehead protector.
• Fei Yu reported that Mount Song players were gathering evidence against the Qingcheng Sect and that Linghu Chong had fought the Four Beauties of Qingcheng before Yu Canghai injured him.
• Ye Weiming predicted that Yue Buqun would attend Yu Canghai’s birthday banquet with an unexpected generous gift.
• Sanyue received a message that Yue Buqun had appeared in town and harshly scolded the injured Linghu Chong, prompting Ye Weiming to wonder how Qi Qi would respond.

Ye Weiming and his companions arrived at Yu Canghai’s birthday banquet as Yue Buqun and the Mount Song Sect closed in on Qingcheng. With the confrontation about to begin, Ye Weiming declared that the court’s target was Yu Canghai’s faction, not the entire Qingcheng Sect.

• Sanyue reported that Zuo Lengchan had arrived with three powerful Mount Song protectors and nearly a hundred disciples.
• Ye Weiming’s group reached Yu Canghai’s birthday banquet and watched from hiding with Lin Pingzhi.
• Yue Buqun presented Yu Canghai with a Pearl Shirt and used the gathering to strengthen his standing before questioning him about Linghu Chong’s injuries.
• Qi Qi learned that the Qingcheng Sect would not be destroyed, then left rather than risk being killed in the coming conflict.
• After the Four Beauties of Qingcheng arrogantly claimed Linghu Chong had not injured them, Ye Weiming announced that it was time to intervene and shouted at Yu Canghai.
