• Lu Sheng began explaining the limits of Mi Sheng Long's mixed powers, but Du Xia warned that he was about to crush him; Lu Sheng eased his grip and turned toward the woman on the throne.

Lu Sheng took the Gesha Core from Mi Sheng Long and learned how it could be used to restore the lifespans of selected Geshas. Mi Guang Ying revealed that she belonged to the Iron Flag Society, while Lu Sheng left the Divine Bell with the core and a plan to guide the witch-level Geshas.

• Mi Guang Ying explained that destroying the Heavenly Evil Phoenix Soul Pill would release its power to the Geshas, and offered to help if Lu Sheng freed her.

After the Gesha vanished and the Ge Sha Core reached the strength of his true body, he prepared to leave, while Du Xia and Du Qiu insisted on going with him.

• Lu Sheng withstood Mi Guang Ying’s Black Blades, then learned about the Iron Flag Society and accepted her emerald-green token.

In Libra City, Lu Sheng settled into his new residence, reached the Grandmaster realm, and searched for work, ending with an attendant offering him a well-paid medical position.

Lu Sheng accepted a medical job with the True Star Zhao Family, which needed experts to treat Zhao LuoYing’s Heavy Star Pollution Syndrome. As he entered the family’s heavily guarded estate, he began considering whether Zhao Sheng Ying could help him gain the Zhao Family’s support.

• Lu Sheng applied for the Zhao Family’s medical position and signed an agreement requiring three months of work and strict confidentiality.
• Zhao Quanmo took Lu Sheng, a hunchbacked old man, and a Taoist nun to the Zhao Family estate, where they discussed Zhao LuoYing’s illness and the Night Emperor’s attack.
• The applicants learned that Zhao LuoYing had suffered from Heavy Star Pollution Syndrome for over a century after the Night Emperor targeted her to take revenge on Zhao ZhengHui.
• Zhao Quanmo explained that Zhao Sheng Ying was spoiled, poorly cultivated, and interested in learning medicine, prompting Lu Sheng to consider using her as a way to gain the Zhao Family’s assistance.

Lu Sheng and two other Medical Dao Grandmasters passed Zhao Quanmo’s test by purifying the Heavy Star Pollutant, with Lu Sheng absorbing far more mist than the others. Zhao Quanmo brought them into the iron house, where they were ordered to replace physicians struggling to contain the pollutant around the Zhao Family’s ailing young miss.

• Zhao Quanmo led Lu Sheng, the Taoist nun, and Old Gu to the courtyard’s sealing line and explained the purification test and the White Shadow Clan Members guarding the area.
• Old Gu used his Tree Spirit to neutralize some of the gray-black mist, then the Taoist nun purified more than twice as much with her whisk.
• Lu Sheng discovered that the mist increased his God-Entrusting Power, disguised his absorption with black light, and devoured enough to purify four or five times the Taoist nun’s amount.
• Zhao Quanmo declared all three physicians had passed and brought them to the iron house, where they saw a young girl on a jade bed surrounded by physicians resisting the pitch-black mist.
• Steward Wu ordered the three newcomers to replace physicians at the left, right, and Kan positions around the bed.

Lu Sheng used his impressive ability to absorb Heavy Star Pollutants to attract Zhao Sheng Ying, who hired him as her medical teacher. At an apprenticeship banquet, he learned of her resentment toward Lin Jun Wei and persuaded her to pursue medicine and build muscle rather than change her body.

• Lu Sheng absorbed the black mist far faster than the other physicians, catching Zhao Sheng Ying's attention.

Lu Sheng sought a primary cultivation technique and decided to use Zhao Sheng Ying’s trust and influence to find one. While examining her strange constitution, he was pulled into an abandoned garden where Zhao Sheng Ying appeared grotesquely transformed and Aunt Mei had vanished.

• Lu Sheng ruled out buying a Red Moon Disciples technique as his main method and decided that gaining Zhao Sheng Ying’s trust could help him find a cultivation technique quickly.
