• Yu Xiaogang begged Tang San to avenge him by killing Xiao Ze and Chen Xin, and Tang San falsely promised to cripple them.

• Ning Rongrong reflected that Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and other women favored Xiao Ze and hoped he would belong to her alone.

Xiao Ze used the God of Agriculture’s resources to create a life-giving rain in his Sea of Consciousness, greatly accelerating the harvest and transforming an armored wild boar into a Spirit. Meanwhile, Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that Xiao Ze had identified their poison, and Dugu Bo realized Xiao Ze might know how to help his family.

• Xiao Ze and the God of Agriculture extracted Life Energy from the resources, creating rain that rapidly ripened the crops and improved the Agricultural Sprites.

• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo about Xiao Ze, and Dugu Bo inferred that Xiao Ze knew he could not detoxify them and might have a solution.
• Dugu Bo confirmed that Dugu Yan’s parents also had a problem with their Martial Soul.

Ning Rongrong tried cooking for Xiao Ze, but her dishes turned out to be inedible. Dugu Bo then met Xiao Ze, who offered to treat Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s poisoning in exchange for Dugu Bo’s medicine garden, leaving the deal agreed upon with Xiao Ze promising to cure Dugu Yan first.

Xiao Ze explained ways to manage Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul toxins and planned to visit Dugu Bo’s Medicine Garden with them the next day. After Ning Rongrong showed off her disastrous cooking, Xiao Ze hinted that the garden might help her evolve her Martial Soul, then the God of Agriculture told him that his newly grown beans had excellent effects.

• Xiao Ze told Dugu Bo that transferring toxins into a Soul Bone could temporarily ease the poison, and suggested Martial Soul Evolution as a possible remedy for Dugu Yan.
• Xiao Ze said he had a third, still-unproven method that would require him to grow stronger, and agreed to visit the Medicine Garden with Dugu Bo the next day.

• The God of Agriculture told Xiao Ze that the Soybeans, Broad Beans, and Red Beans he had grown had excellent effects, especially for Soul Masters.

Xiao Ze discovered that the God of Agriculture’s red beans could increase Soul Bone Age, mung beans could increase Soul Ring Age, and soybeans could improve Martial Soul Origin. Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe learned of Xiao Ze’s extraordinary cultivation and unusual Black Earth Martial Soul and decided to observe him personally.

• Xiao Ze tested red beans and raised his Jade Deer Antler Skull’s age by one year, then learned that mung beans could increase Soul Ring Age and soybeans could improve Martial Soul Quality.
• Xiao Ze used mung beans to raise his first Soul Ring’s age by one year and realized that soybeans improved Martial Soul Origin and could strengthen Black Earth’s abilities.

• Xue Qinghe rejected Snake Lance Douluo’s suggestion to capture Xiao Ze and decided to personally look into him later.

Dugu Bo brought Xiao Ze, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where the God of Agriculture revealed the treasure ground’s secrets and taught Xiao Ze how to gather its rare herbs. Xiao Ze collected many valuable plants, including two extremely dangerous Immortal Herbs, and left seeds behind before preparing for future cultivation and alchemy.

• Dugu Bo led the group through Sunset Forest to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Xiao Ze used Yu Jin to carry Ning Rongrong down to the spring.
• The God of Agriculture told Xiao Ze that two dead Dragon Clan gods lay beneath the spring and that their balanced powers had nurtured the plants there.
• The God of Agriculture identified twenty Immortal Herbs and offered to teach Xiao Ze alchemy, while Dugu Bo gave Xiao Ze a Storage Soul Tool that could preserve living plants.
• Xiao Ze gathered rare herbs under the God of Agriculture’s guidance, leaving seeds behind so the plants could grow again.
• Xiao Ze carefully collected the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, completing his herb gathering.

Xiao Ze showed Dugu Bo that his soybeans could improve Martial Soul quality, then entered his Sea of Consciousness to evolve them with an Immortal Herb. The soybean Spirit became the Epic-quality Bean Glazed Tile, while Xiao Ze’s other Agricultural Spirits also advanced to Epic grade and flooded him with liquid Spirit Power.

• Dugu Bo ate Xiao Ze’s soybeans and felt his Martial Soul change, then entrusted Dugu Yan to Xiao Ze while Ning Rongrong teased that she could only be his second wife.
• Xiao Ze entered his Sea of Consciousness, where the God of Agriculture prepared eight Immortal Herbs for his Spirits and suggested using Aromatic Silk Beauty on the soybeans.
• The God of Agriculture infused the soybean Farmland with Aromatic Silk Beauty, transforming a soybean into an Epic-quality, tower-shaped Spirit.
• Xiao Ze named the new Spirit Bean Glazed Tile after it gained skills that enhanced allies’ offensive and defensive abilities.
• The God of Agriculture infused Immortal Herbs into Xi Mang, Yu Jin, and the other Agricultural Spirits, raising them to Epic grade and granting them Domains.
• The evolved Spirits’ energy flowed into Xiao Ze, filling his Sea of Consciousness with Soul Power that began to liquefy.

Xiao Ze helped Suihua advance to Legendary grade, where it gained a speaking voice, a new skill, and the ability to Super Evolve. After returning to Heaven Dou City, Xiao Ze went to buy an Alchemy Furnace and considered a better option than the basic model.

• Xiao Ze fed Suihua Dragon Blood Soul Burning Ginseng, and Suihua transformed and advanced to Legendary grade.
• Suihua revealed its Shennong Sigh skill and its exclusive Super Evolution ability, then demonstrated its dragon-like evolved form.
• Xiao Ze woke in the Sea of Consciousness, told Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan that the group's strength and crop quality had improved, and left Sunset Forest with them.
• Xiao Ze returned to Heaven Dou City and went alone to the Glazed Chamber of Commerce to buy an Alchemy Furnace.
• Manager Li showed Xiao Ze an Iron Fire Pill Furnace, but the God of Agriculture advised him to choose a better furnace, so Manager Li introduced the Jade Tea Pill Furnace.

Xiao Ze searched for an Alchemy Furnace and was sent by Manager Li to a reclusive blacksmith who owned one called the Heaven and Earth Furnace. After learning the old man’s Martial Soul might be sealed rather than destroyed, Xiao Ze offered to restore it in exchange for the furnace, and asked about the beast that had injured him.

• Xiao Ze rejected the Jade Tea Pill Furnace and the Glazed Chamber of Commerce’s finest furnace because both relied on external heat-control mechanisms.
• Manager Li directed Xiao Ze to a run-down blacksmith shop in southwestern Heaven Dou City, where a white-haired old man revealed that he owed Manager Li a favor.
• The old man explained that his ancestor had obtained the Heaven and Earth Furnace a century earlier, and that his family had failed to forge another like it.
• The old man said a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had injured him ten years earlier while he was obtaining his seventh Soul Ring, leaving him unable to forge.
• The God of Agriculture told Xiao Ze that the old man’s hammer Martial Soul was sealed and his Soul Power was leaking because of a problem with his dantian.
• Xiao Ze offered to restore the old man’s Martial Soul for the Heaven and Earth Furnace, then asked about the beast; the old man described a seven-colored bird with a smooth, mirror-like body.

Xiao Ze discovered that Old Wang’s Martial Soul had been sealed and his memories altered by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Rainbow Wonder Bird, while leaking Soul Power from a damaged dantian had hidden the truth. Xiao Ze agreed to refine pills to break the seal and restore Old Wang’s memories, then began activating the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

• Xiao Ze identified the Soul Beast that Old Wang encountered as a Rainbow Wonder Bird, whose domain sealed Martial Souls and whose Bewitching Rainbow Pupils implanted false memories.
• Xiao Ze explained that Old Wang’s Martial Soul was sealed, his memories altered, and his Soul Power leaking through cracks in his dantian, which made him believe his Martial Soul had shattered.
• After the God of Agriculture recommended refining a Barrier-Breaking Dragon Heart Pill and a Soul Solidifying Pill, Xiao Ze agreed to help Old Wang in exchange for the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
• Old Wang led Xiao Ze to the basement and revealed the Heaven and Earth Furnace, which the God of Agriculture said was likely a naturally formed treasure.
• Xiao Ze injected Soul Power into the furnace, causing its dragon, phoenix, and qilin reliefs to emerge in light as the furnace began to heat.

The God of Agriculture used Xiao Ze’s body to refine a Barrier-Breaking Dragon Heart Pill and a Soul Solidifying Pill, demonstrating advanced alchemy techniques. After returning control, he explained how precise Soul Power control enabled both his flame and ingredient-processing methods, leaving Xiao Ze eager to pursue alchemy.

• The God of Agriculture praised the Natural Pill Furnace and began refining pills through Xiao Ze, who watched from his Sea of Consciousness.
• The God of Agriculture ground Dragon Saliva Grass, combined it with Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Tree essence, and refined the Barrier-Breaking Dragon Heart Pill using Soul Power as fire.
• The furnace’s Dragon’s Roar startled Old Wang, who wondered whether Xiao Ze belonged to a reclusive alchemy family.
• The God of Agriculture refined a Soul Solidifying Pill from an Ice Soul Flower and Soul Crystal using precise Soul Power control and a cold Spirit Power flame.
• The God of Agriculture returned control of Xiao Ze’s body and explained that alchemy practice could improve his control, inspiring Xiao Ze to pursue alchemy further.

Xiao Ze helped Old Wang recover his tampered memories and break the seal on his Martial Soul. Old Wang regained his strength, gave Xiao Ze the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and decided to study Soul Tools.

• Old Wang took the Soul Solidifying Pill and recovered his memories, learning that the Rainbow Wonder Bird had sealed his Martial Soul and altered his memories.
• Old Wang swallowed the Barrier-Breaking Dragon Heart Pill, broke the seal, and released his Soul Power, though a crack in his dantian still caused it to leak.
• Old Wang thanked Xiao Ze and gave him the Heaven and Earth Furnace, promising to forge for him in the future.
• Xiao Ze asked Old Wang about forging Soul Tools, and Old Wang decided to study them despite lacking the blueprints for combat models.
• Xiao Ze left the Blacksmith Shop with the Heaven and Earth Furnace as Old Wang watched him go.

Xiao Ze and Ning Rongrong grew closer as he cared for her at home, while she secretly enjoyed his affection. He then began learning pill refinement from the God of Agriculture, who explained the process's main steps.

• Xiao Ze carried the apparently sleeping Ning Rongrong to bed, and she opened her eyes after he left, blushing over what had happened.
• The next morning, Xiao Ze and Ning Rongrong shared breakfast and washed the dishes together, growing flustered at their closeness.
• Xiao Ze brought the Heaven and Earth Furnace into an empty room and told the God of Agriculture they would start refining Pills.
• The God of Agriculture explained that pill refinement involved selecting ingredients, refining, infusing the soul, and condensing twice.

Xiao Ze learned the basic stages of alchemy from the God of Agriculture and began refining Spirit Replenishing Pills with help from Chi Lian. The pill embryo formed, but the second Condensing Pill began to crack under intense heat as Xiao Ze tried to keep its medicinal liquid contained.

• Xiao Ze inspected Blue Silver Grass, Calming Flower, and Star Dew Grass, discarding damaged or deficient ingredients and selecting enough for fifty batches.
• The God of Agriculture taught Xiao Ze to temper the ingredients, and Xiao Ze used Spiritual Power to stabilize his Soul Power while extracting their energy.
• Xiao Ze infused the processed medicinal liquid with Soul Power until it compressed, then used Soul Power and Spiritual Power to form a pill embryo.
• The God of Agriculture summoned Chi Lian to light the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and Ning Rongrong followed the pill’s fragrance to Xiao Ze’s door.
• Chi Lian raised and intensified the flame for the second Condensing Pill, and Xiao Ze wrapped the cracking pill embryo and its medicinal liquid with Soul Power.

Xiao Ze successfully refined a Spirit Replenishing Pill, and Ning Rongrong used it to break through her Soul Power bottleneck. After days of alchemy practice, Ye Lingling asked Xiao Ze to teach her, and the God of Agriculture said she was well suited to refining pills.

• Xiao Ze completed his first Spirit Replenishing Pill with Chi Lian's help.
• Ning Rongrong tasted the pill and broke through her Soul Power bottleneck.
• Xiao Ze continued learning alchemy, improving his skills as Zhu Zhuqing and the other women tested his pills.
• Ye Lingling asked Xiao Ze to teach her alchemy, and the God of Agriculture explained that her abilities made her suited to it.

Xiao Ze let Ye Lingling learn pill-making and showed Ning Rongrong that she was unsuited to it, then gave the women Epic soybeans that strengthened Ning Rongrong’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. After Ye Lingling made progress with pills, Xiao Ze used a Mung Bean to raise his First Soul Ring to a thousand years, increasing his Spirit capacity.

• Xiao Ze accepted Ye Lingling as a pill-making student, while Ning Rongrong insisted on trying to learn too.
• Ning Rongrong caused an explosion while attempting Soul Infusion, and Xiao Ze carried her downstairs and cleaned her soot-covered face.
• Xiao Ze gave the women Epic soybeans, and Ning Rongrong felt her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda nearing its evolution to the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda before kissing him.
• Xiao Ze explained that the soybeans strengthened Martial Soul Origins even when they could not cause an evolution, and he continued cultivating and making pills with Ye Lingling, who learned to refine simple Pills.
• Xiao Ze absorbed a Mung Bean, turning his First Soul Ring purple and raising it to a thousand years, which increased his Spirit capacity to twelve and his Holy Spirit Spine’s age to over two thousand two hundred years.

Flender led Shrek Academy toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy so its students could enter the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, while Ye Lingling brought Xiao Ze to Ye Mansion to meet her mother.

Xiao Ze visited Ye Lingling’s mother, Ye Qingli, and revealed that Ye Lingling’s Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Soul had evolved after taking one of his pills. Ye Qingli offered to buy more pills, and the chapter ended with her promising the Ye Family would pay generously.

• Ye Qingli welcomed Xiao Ze and explained that the Ye Family could have only two Nine Hearts Begonia Martial Souls in each generation.
• Xiao Ze told Ye Qingli that Ye Lingling’s Martial Soul evolution could change the family’s situation, and Ye Lingling summoned her golden-tinged Nine Hearts Begonia to prove it.
• Ye Qingli excitedly asked Xiao Ze how he had caused the evolution, and he explained that he had refined a pill that enhanced Martial Soul Origin.
• Xiao Ze said Ye Lingling might eventually learn to make the pills herself and that both Ye Qingli and Ye Lingling could evolve their Martial Souls.
• Ye Qingli offered Xiao Ze five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins for each pill, while Ye Lingling explained that the Ye Family earned substantial income from treatments and received subsidies from the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall.
