• The witnesses, including Feng Lan and the Nascent Soul cultivators, realized Jiang had defeated a Spirit Transformation Realm assassin and watched him leave in awe.

After surviving Chu Kingdom’s assassination attempt, Jiang Ping An went to the Wealth Source Commerce Association to make money for his revenge. He revealed a genuine Five-Star Card, leaving Song Hui stunned as Wan Ning agreed to help him gamble on stones.

• Wan Ning learned that a Chu Kingdom Spirit Transformation Initial Stage assassin had tried to kill Jiang Ping An and had instead been severely wounded.

Jiang Ping An continued provoking the Chu Kingdom with bounties while staying at the Wealth Source Commerce Association, where he uncovered a valuable Blood Spirit Stone.

The campaign drew assassins into Chu Kingdom, where Prince Chu Zhan was killed, and the enraged Chu ShuJiang ordered new bounties on Great Xia despite his depleted treasury.

• Great Xia’s Old Ancestor ordered the pursuit to continue so the remaining assassinations could be stopped.

• At the Wealth Source Commerce Association, Lu Dong introduced himself as a Heavenly Fate Master and invited Jiang Ping An to gamble on Restricted Area Ore for a chance at the Undying Divine Medicine.
• Xia Qing warned that Lu Dong wanted to exhaust Jiang Ping An’s lifespan, but Jiang Ping An agreed to the gamble.

Jiang Ping An agreed to wager supreme treasures with Lu Dong over restricted area ores, while Xia Qing discovered that his ability to see through stones came from his eyes rather than fate deduction. Their contest was set for three days later in Vast Mist City, drawing powerful onlookers eager to see what the ores contained.

• Jiang Ping An accepted Lu Dong’s challenge to gamble on restricted area ores and wager supreme treasures, with the stones due to arrive in three days.

Jiang Ping An began a high-stakes stone wager against the Heavenly Fate Master Lu Dong, despite warnings that deducing ore from a restricted area could consume his lifespan. The match began with ten stones from the Dark Demon Zone, and Jiang Ping An reacted uneasily as he faced them.

• News spread that Chu HouZhao had been assassinated inside Chu Kingdom's secret realm along with three Spirit Transformation cultivators, alarming the Great Xia group about the danger to Jiang Ping An.
• Xia Yuanhao and others warned Xia Qing and Jiang Ping An that Lu Dong was a formidable Heavenly Fate Master and the wager seemed like a trap.

• Wan Ning revealed ten enormous stones excavated from the forbidden land of the Dark Demon Zone, and Lu Dong immediately began deducing the far-right stone.
• Jiang Ping An stared at the stones with a changed expression, making Xia Qing worry that he could not see through them.

Jiang Ping An exhausted his Mental Power deducing the restricted-area ores, but identified the second stone as worth buying. When Xia Qing opened it, they found a Bloodthirsty Nine Nether Worm, a rare insect with a terrifying history and enormous upkeep costs.

• Jiang Ping An used most of his Mental Power to inspect the first stone and found it empty, then collapsed after overdraw left him bleeding from the eyes.
• After recovering briefly, Jiang Ping An said the second stone could be bought, and Xia Qing paid five billion spirit stones for it despite Lu Dong's warnings.
• Jiang Ping An asked Xia Qing to cut the stone while he restored his Mental Power, and she uncovered a blood-red sphere that hatched into a fierce insect.
• The Treasure Appraisal Elder identified the insect as a Bloodthirsty Nine Nether Worm, one of the ancient Insectoid Races said to have annihilated a holy land.
• The Treasure Appraisal Elder explained that a single worm could not destroy a holy land and that raising the species required immense resources and time, dampening Great Xia's excitement.

Jiang Ping An and Lu Dong searched for the final treasures in their stone-gambling duel, with Lu Dong finding a mysterious, immensely heavy golden stick. The timer ran out after both chose one last stone, leaving the duel’s result to the contents of those stones.

• Lu Dong cut open a stone and uncovered a thumb-sized golden stick whose weight shattered the floor and whose power the Treasure Appraisal Elder could not identify.
• As the final round began, Jiang Ping An and Lu Dong exhausted their strength searching the remaining stones while Great Xia’s people anxiously watched the wager.
• Jiang Ping An found nothing in his third and fourth stones, then told Lu Dong that he was not a Heavenly Fate Master and had awakened a Pupil Technique.
• With only ten breaths left, Lu Dong chose the fifth stone on the right, and Jiang Ping An guessed the fifth stone on the left just as the hourglass ran out.
• Lu Dong declared victory, while Xia Qing blamed Jiang Ping An for risking her immortal artifact fragment and bit his face in anger.
