Chapter Summaries

Yang Chan traveled to Zhongbei Mountain to assess whether its blizzard and terrain could conceal his breakthrough into a Blood-Changing Martial Saint. He found the storm manageable and learned from Black Dragon that several sites could support a cave and formations, including one near the summit with access to a small spiritual vein.

• Yang Chan reached Zhongbei Mountain and sensed spiritual qi and a faint spiritual vein beneath the iceberg.
• Yang Chan sent Black Dragon to search for stable locations suitable for digging a cave and setting up concealment and stabilizing formations.
• Black Dragon returned with three possible sites, including one near the summit that was easier to excavate and lay near the spiritual vein.

After taking an Earth Origin Supreme Saint Pill and activating the Demon Dragon Blood Transformation Art, his blood and qi erupted into a pillar that pierced the blizzard and reddened the sky.

• Yang Chan's blood and qi burst through the formations and surged into the clouds, turning the sky red.

• After washing and gathering his blood and bloodstained belongings, Yang Chan began dismantling the formations and told Black Dragon to pack away the aura-concealing formation.

After his breakthrough caused a stir on Zhongbei Mountain, Yang Chan disguised himself and joined the treasure seekers descending the mountain. On the way out, he and his companions encountered Mo Dao Ke Wu Tan and the Great Saber Society, who blocked the road and demanded their treasures.

Yang Chan secretly used his Blood-Changing Martial Saint qi and blood to help a blue-clad White Deer Sword Sect swordsman kill Mo Dao Ke Wu Tan and another bandit, concealing his involvement. He left with Old Ma and the others for Anfeng Town, planning to visit Myriad Treasures Tower, while more people continued to arrive at Zhongbei Mountain.

Yang Chan sought an auction token at Myriad Treasures Tower so he could trade his Breakthrough Pills for spiritual materials. After Shopkeeper Xu refused him, Yang Chan revealed his Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster cultivation, secured a token, and handed over a pill that Xu recognized as a rare Superior Breakthrough Pill.

• Yang Chan entered Myriad Treasures Tower and asked to see Shopkeeper Xu about obtaining an auction token.

• Yang Chan decided the sword's rumored inheritance would not help him and considered which widely available Blood-Changing-level pills could best increase his Potential Points.
