• Bibi Dong received Ji Xuan’s records, rewarded the Red Cardinal, and decided the boy could serve her plans.

Ji Xuan avoided becoming Bibi Dong’s disciple when Qian Daoliu arrived and chose to join the Worship Hall instead. At the hall, he met its Venerables, received a storage Soul Tool, and hinted that he knew a way to raise the limit of Soul Ring absorption.

• Ji Xuan told Qian Daoliu and the Venerables that he had discovered something that could improve physical fitness and increase the Soul Ring absorption limit.

Ji Xuan proved that heated Whale Rubber strengthened the body and enabled higher-year soul rings, then used it to absorb a sixteen-hundred-year ring and gain his first soul skill. After Ji Xuan reached rank fifteen, Qian Daoliu promised him a soul bone as they returned to Spirit City.

• Ji Xuan explained that Whale Rubber had to be heated before consumption, and Qian Daoliu tested it on three soul masters who then successfully absorbed soul rings beyond their usual limits.

Ji Xuan developed his understanding of the Power of Order and Wind Sword Intent, then fought and killed a 5,800-year Thundercloud Leopard to obtain his second Soul Ring.
