Chen Lin encountered a mysterious Seductress who used a cage-bound miniature man to capture and kill cultivators. After destroying the miniature man and attacking her with several powerful techniques, he watched her reassemble and vanish, leaving him with a dangerous new enemy.

• A black palm shattered Chen Lin's Spirit Boat, but his Xuanwu Shield protected him and Elder Hu.
• Elder Hu identified the attacker as Black Mountain Old Devil, a fallen spirit transformation cultivator and disciple of Spirit Demon Ancestor.
• Black Mountain Old Devil's Seductress appeared and used the miniature man in her cage to seize the fleeing Nascent Soul elder, then captured Elder Hu, the Trading Firm's steward, and the Zhang Family siblings.
• The Seductress tried to recruit Chen Lin as her demonic puppet, while the miniature man attacked him through the void.
• Chen Lin used the Thunder God Sword to destroy the miniature man, then attacked the Seductress with the Purple Spirit Ring, lightning, and the Bone Saber.
• The Seductress reassembled unharmed, told Chen Lin she would remember him, and vanished.

After escaping the Seductress’s attack, Chen Lin traveled to Liangyi City to find safety and learn about routes across the Silent Sea. He hired Xiao Chengyue as a guide and headed to the Xingnan Trading Firm, hoping it could help him reach the Hongshan Continent.

• Chen Lin collected the fallen cultivators’ belongings, rescued Elder Hu and the others, and accepted thirty spirit crystals before leaving for Liangyi City.
• After two months of uninterrupted travel, Chen Lin reached Liangyi City, passed its detection formation, and hired Xiao Chengyue as a top-tier guide.
• Xiao Chengyue explained Liangyi City’s rules and powers, then told Chen Lin where to find shops selling Silent Sea charts.
• Chen Lin learned that the Xingnan Trading Firm was a cross-border enterprise owned by Dao Monarch Shenmu and decided to visit it in hopes of finding passage to the Hongshan Continent.

Chen Lin learned three possible ways to reach the Hongshan Continent, though each had major obstacles. After failing to secure passage through the Xingnan Trading Firm or Tianhai Sect, he rented an immortal cave to plan his next move.

• Chen Lin asked Xiao Chengyue about the Hongshan Continent, and she described its dangers and named the Liangyi Disk, the Xingnan Trading Firm's intercontinental passage, and the Tianhai Sect's Sea-Crossing Ship as possible routes.
• Xiao Chengyue explained that using the Liangyi Disk required permission and at least five hundred spirit crystals, while the other routes were secret or dangerous and might not be available.
• Chen Lin bought sea charts from the Xingnan Trading Firm but found no detailed charts of the Sea of Death and could not learn how to use its intercontinental passage.
• Chen Lin visited the Tianhai Sect's shop, where he learned it had stopped accepting trips across the Sea of Death, then rented an immortal cave to study his options.
• Chen Lin paid Xiao Chengyue with a top-grade spirit stone and pills, then invited her to his immortal cave; she mistook his offer and directed him to Wuzhen Tower.

Chen Lin settled on pursuing a Liangyi Disk teleportation slot and searched his spoils for resources and useful inheritances. He ended with enough spirit crystals to meet the disk’s price, while postponing a choice between two possible foundations for his future primordial spirit domain.

• Chen Lin inspected Wuzhen Tower and recognized its connection to the mysterious organization he had encountered in the Lower Realm.
• Chen Lin chose to wait for Liangyi Sect missions that could award a Liangyi Disk teleportation slot, then examined the storage bags he had collected.
• Chen Lin found Gu Shengjin’s treasures and other spoils brought his spirit crystal total to roughly five hundred, enough to meet the Liangyi Disk’s price.
• Chen Lin identified tokens suggesting that Gu Shengjin’s concealed companion had been True Lord Yuming, and wondered whether Dantai Yunjin had also come to Wangu City.
• Chen Lin put away a Bird Egg linked to a nightmare realm scenario and decided to investigate the Myriad Realms Alliance before considering entry.
• Chen Lin studied the Jade Slip’s instructions for forming a primordial spirit domain, then set aside his choice between his innate divine ability and Five Thunders Smite the Crown.

Chen Lin studied Gu Shengjin’s unfinished soul-type treasure, Scholar, and decided to erase its existing spirit restrictions before completing it himself. After a year of cultivation and work on the treasure, he learned of a dangerous Liangyi Disk mission, declined it, and recruited Yang Ziqing as a contracted subordinate, then set out to help him establish his foundation.

• Chen Lin studied the bamboo slips and learned that Scholar could become a powerful True Spirit-Tier Spirit Treasure, but Gu Shengjin’s soul traces made it unsafe to use without removing and reinscribing its restrictions.
• Chen Lin spent a month comprehending the inheritance and then began slowly removing Scholar’s original restrictions while cultivating.
• After another year, Chen Lin learned of a Liangyi Sect mission requiring participants to kill a King Tier evil beast during the uprising at Zhongting Mountain, but he declined because the mission was too dangerous.
• Chen Lin offered Yang Ziqing a soul pact, Foundation Establishment Pills, and a chance to reach Core Formation in exchange for becoming his subordinate, and Yang Ziqing accepted.
• Chen Lin led Yang Ziqing to help him establish his foundation, while Yang Ziqing worried that his Qi Condensation 8th Layer cultivation and poor spiritual root made him unready.

Chen Lin helped Yang Ziqing reach Foundation Establishment, treated his father’s injuries, and discovered a faint talent in Yang Zishi. After Yang Ziqing swore loyalty and was given new duties, Father Yang wondered why Chen Lin had taken an interest in his daughter.

• Chen Lin gave Yang Ziqing a Marrow-Cleansing Pill and three Foundation Establishment Pills, then visited his family and offered Father Yang a Shuiyun Spirit Pill for his damaged meridians.
• Chen Lin sensed a faint talent in Yang Zishi and examined the Yang Family genealogy, which traced their ancestry to the Void Refinement cultivator Yang Qianxing.
• Yang Ziqing successfully reached Foundation Establishment, and Chen Lin told him to lead the group, keep a low profile, and visit his immortal cave for a cultivation technique.
• Yang Ziqing swore eternal loyalty to Chen Lin and told his father that he had willingly signed a soul pact with his master, whom he believed to be a Nascent Soul cultivator.
• Father Yang urged Yang Ziqing to preserve the relationship with Chen Lin, then asked whether Chen Lin’s attention to Yang Zishi meant he had plans for her.

Chen Lin discovered that the Listen-Wind Post could send a letter from Liangyi City to Qianyuan City in the Northern Star Realm for a steep fee, and he decided to investigate the service before committing. He continued pursuing cultivation and resources in Liangyi City, while relying on the Liangyi Disk as his best chance of reaching Luo Qinglan in time.

• Yang Ziqing told Father Yang not to give up cultivation and promised to help him obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill if he reached the late stage of Qi Condensation.
• Chen Lin gave Yang Ziqing a cultivation technique, pills, and treasures, then sent him and other subordinates to search for acacia grass.
• Chen Lin found a Listen-Wind Post in Liangyi City and learned it could send a letter to Qianyuan City for fifty spirit crystals, with a reply costing ten more and safe delivery not guaranteed.
• Chen Lin investigated the Listen-Wind Post's history and reputation, then decided he could wait until closer to Tianxuan Day to send a letter to Luo Xiaoyu and others.
• Chen Lin gathered materials and studied Primordial Spirit Spells while cultivating, concluding that the Liangyi Disk was his most realistic route to the Hongshan Continent.

Chen Lin discovered that he could eventually make Five Thunders Smite the Crown a primordial spirit spell, resolving one problem with forming his primordial spirit domain, but he still needed a way to reach the Hongshan Continent and advance his cultivation. After obtaining an ancient pill formula from Huang Liu, he learned she knew a powerful Spirit Transformation Cultivator who might take the Liangyi Sect mission in his place.

• Chen Lin concluded that Five Thunders Smite the Crown could complement his innate divine ability in a primordial spirit domain, though he would have to reach Spirit Transformation first to use it that way.
• Chen Lin remained unable to find acacia grass or any new Liangyi Disk mission, leaving him uncertain whether to risk the Zhongting Mountain mission himself.
• Chen Lin asked Huang Liu of the Myriad Pill Pavilion for pills or formulas that could quickly raise his cultivation, and she offered him the ancient Four Symbols Spirit-Swallowing Pill formula.
• Chen Lin declined Huang Liu's offer to join the pavilion but agreed to exchange an Ending Hostility Pill for the formula.
• Chen Lin told Huang Liu he planned to take the Zhongting Mountain mission, and she offered to introduce him to a formidable late Spirit Transformation Cultivator who might complete it for a large price.

Chen Lin negotiated with Ling Qianshan for help securing access to the Liangyi Disk by offering to treat his younger sister, Ling Qianxue, whose innate soul origin was damaged. After examining her, Chen Lin sensed an unusual hidden connection in her soul and left pills for her to try while he investigated further.

• Ling Qianshan rejected Chen Lin’s offer of an ordinary spirit treasure and demanded either a Void Refinement advancement pill or another valuable compensation.
• Huang Liu suggested that Chen Lin’s skill with soul-related pills might help Ling Qianshan’s younger sister, and Chen Lin offered treatment in exchange for help with the Liangyi Disk task.
• Ling Qianshan summoned Ling Qianxue, and Chen Lin examined her before leaving her improved Nascent Soul Pills to test.
• Chen Lin sensed a hidden connection in Ling Qianxue’s soul similar to Ye Luo’s and stopped the examination without promising a cure.
• Huang Liu told Chen Lin that Ling Qianxue was over five hundred years old, had remained young after eating a rumored spiritual fruit, and had been examined by the Liangyi Sect.

Chen Lin investigated Ling Qianxue’s unusual condition and began studying a modified formula for the Four Symbols Spirit-Swallowing Pill while waiting for Ling Qianshan to respond to the mission. After confirming the modified formula could work, he faced the challenge of refining it well enough without spending his last Golden Crab.

• Chen Lin sent Yang Ziqing to discreetly investigate Ling Qianxue and concluded that her damaged soul origin resembled Ye Luo’s, though he chose not to treat her personally.
• Yang Ziqing reported that the Ling siblings had lived in Liangyi City for two hundred years, and Chen Lin agreed to let Yang Ziqing and Yang Zishi stay in his courtyard.
• Chen Lin studied the Four Symbols Spirit-Swallowing Pill formula, selected a modified plan with more accessible ingredients, and began gathering materials.
• With no response from Ling Qianshan and no other Spirit Transformation cultivators accepting the mission, Chen Lin focused on refining the pill as a way to advance his cultivation.
• Chen Lin used his talent ability to confirm the modified formula could produce the pill, but its many gaps made him reluctant to spend his last Golden Crab, so he resolved to improve his mastery first.

Chen Lin refined pills that accelerated his cultivation, negotiated with Ling Qianshan and the Myriad Pill Pavilion for mission help and rare resources, then entered seclusion. After more than three years, he reached nascent soul completion and became ready to attempt Spirit Transformation.

• Chen Lin perfected a modified pill formula, confirmed its effects, and used the pills to rapidly advance his cultivation.
• Huang Liu told Chen Lin that Ling Qianshan would take his mission only if Chen Lin could fully heal Ling Qianxue; Chen Lin said a higher-grade pill was needed.
• Chen Lin agreed to trade the Nascent Soul Pill formula to the Myriad Pill Pavilion for a Spirit Transformation Advancement Pill and another cultivation pill formula, with restrictions on sharing the formula.
• Huang Liu confirmed that Ling Qianshan accepted the arrangement and the pavilion approved the trade, allowing Chen Lin to avoid undertaking the mission himself.
• Chen Lin entered seclusion and, after more than three years of cultivation with the Four Symbols Spirit-Swallowing Pill, reached nascent soul completion and became ready to attempt Spirit Transformation.

Chen Lin prepared to attempt Spirit Transformation before Tianxuan Day, renting a Tribulation Platform and arranging for Huang Liu to witness his breakthrough. Before seeking help to implant a spiritual root in Yang Zishi, he made contingency plans for the siblings in case his attempt failed.

• Chen Lin booked the city's Tribulation Platform for the morning ten days before Tianxuan Day and declined to hire a guardian because the capable ones were too expensive.
• Huang Liu told Chen Lin that Ling Qianshan had departed and would repair Ling Qianxue's origin essence before transferring his Liangyi Disk opportunity.
• Chen Lin gave Huang Liu an improved Four Symbols Spirit-Swallowing Pill, surprising her by successfully refining a version based on her improvement method.
• Chen Lin asked Huang Liu to stand guard nearby when he attempted his Spirit Transformation breakthrough, and she agreed to attend.
• Chen Lin told Yang Ziqing and Yang Zishi what to do if he failed, then rendered Yang Zishi unconscious and placed her in his Space Bag so someone else could implant a spiritual root in her.
• Chen Lin sent Yang Ziqing away and headed to the Market to find someone to perform the implantation.

Chen Lin began the Spirit Transformation tribulation on the Liangyi Sect’s Tribulation Platform and passed its lightning and inner demon trials. He sat down to recover, pleased that he had successfully advanced.

• Chen Lin left Yang Zishi at Dianling Hall after paying for a mid-grade implanted spiritual root.
• Chen Lin prepared at the Tribulation Platform, used pills to merge his energies, and formed a primordial spirit embryo that summoned the tribulation clouds.
• Chen Lin endured the five ordinary lightning strikes while pretending to struggle, then survived the Golden Tribulation Lightning with the Xuanwu Shield.
• Chen Lin used the Xuanwu Shield, Tribulation Avoidance Talismans, and Purple Spirit Ring against the Three-Color Tribulation Lightning, then guided its power to transform his primordial spirit embryo.
• Chen Lin passed the Inner Demon Tribulation with ease and sat down to take pills and assess his advancement.

After surviving his tribulation, Chen Lin ascended to Spirit Transformation and received invitations from several factions, then helped Yang Ziqing advance and Yang Zishi begin cultivating. To accelerate his comprehension of spell life-origin, he tested the Pig-Headed Monster Scenario and then entered it himself, seeking another Dao lecture.

• Chen Lin used Lightning Law to form a Thunderstorm Ocean after his Ascension, and Xiao Chengshang and representatives of several factions invited him to join them.
• Miss Alan invited Chen Lin to Wuzhen Tower and gave him a purple Immortal Point Token; Chen Lin accepted it and left the platform with Yang Ziqing.
• On Tianxuan Day, Yang Ziqing advanced to Foundation Establishment middle stage, while Chen Lin helped Yang Zishi stabilize her first layer of Qi Condensation and told her she might possess a talent ability.
• Chen Lin decided he needed to comprehend Five Thunders Smite the Crown to spell life-origin before forming his primordial spirit domain, so he sent an elderly cultivator into the Pig-Headed Monster Scenario to verify its safety.
• The elderly cultivator returned from the Dao lecture, and Chen Lin rewarded him with Foundation Establishment Pills for himself and his son.
• After the elderly cultivator established his foundation, Chen Lin had Grass stand guard and entered the Nightmare Realm with Senior Sister's Pink Flying Sword.

Chen Lin attended lectures in the Pig-Headed Monster Scenario to deepen his understanding of spells while waiting for Ling Qianshan to return from the mission. After Ling Qianshan completed the mission and Ling Qianxue recovered, Chen Lin obtained access to the Liangyi Disk and left Liangyi City for the Hongshan Continent to search for his companion.

• Chen Lin paid twenty Nightmare Coins for a lecture on spell origin essence, then spent five days studying what he had learned.
• Chen Lin attended a cheaper outdoor lecture on fire-attribute spells and concluded that lecture settings and fees varied in the Nightmare Realm.
• Huang Liu told Chen Lin that Ling Qianshan had been injured but had killed a King Tier evil beast and completed the mission.
• Chen Lin gave Huang Liu a pill for Ling Qianxue and asked her to look after his subordinates while he traveled to the Hongshan Continent to find his companion.
• Ling Qianxue recovered, Ling Qianshan transferred the right to use the Liangyi Disk, and Chen Lin teleported out of Liangyi City.

Chen Lin arrived in Disheng City on the Hongshan Continent and learned that returning to Liangyi City would require waiting for a rare ten-year transport. Unable to contact Luo Qinglan because of the continent’s unstable space, he began searching for her while taking comfort in news that Luo Xiaoyu and Princess Qinghua were safe.

• Chen Lin confirmed that he had reached Disheng City and learned that return trips through the Liangyi Sect’s formation were limited to specially arranged journeys every ten years.
• Chen Lin tried to meet the sect’s Enforcing Elder, but Elder Shangguan was in seclusion, so Chen Lin left Transmission Talismans and went to the city’s Market.
• Chen Lin learned that the Purple Emperor, one of the continent’s three Dao Monarchs, ruled Disheng City, and discovered that unstable space made long-distance Transmission Talismans useless.
• Chen Lin read Luo Xiaoyu’s reply and learned that she had reached Nascent Soul, while the Green-Scaled Tribe’s chief had brought Princess Qinghua out of the Land of Divine Beings.
• Chen Lin considered how to find Luo Qinglan and his other loved ones, then resumed gathering information about the western Hongshan Continent and Three Fish.

Chen Lin investigated where Luo Qinglan might have gone and concluded she was likely trapped in the dangerous Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins. After gathering information, pills, and protective treasures, he set out for White Jade City to seek answers near the ruins.

• Chen Lin paid an information shopkeeper to list possible places matching the unclear phrase he had heard, including the dangerous Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins.
• The shopkeeper gave three reasons Luo Qinglan might be trapped in the ruins: their ancient cross-realm teleportation formations, their reputation for trapping entrants, and reports of lower-realm cultivators stuck inside.
• Chen Lin asked for an escaped survivor, but the shopkeeper had no direct contact and advised him to seek information in nearby cities.
• After more than ten days of inquiries, Chen Lin accepted that the ruins were probably as dangerous as described and planned to find a survivor or recruit aging cultivators with generous rewards.
• Chen Lin and Grass gathered supplies while Chen Lin refined Seven-Star Pills and continued attending Nightmare Realm lessons.
• After preparing enough pills and life-saving treasures, Chen Lin headed for White Jade City, east of the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins.

Chen Lin encountered the Seven Divine Children, bizarre monsters that could devour his attacks and treasures, and learned from a fleeing cultivator that they came from the Sea of Death and were vulnerable to attacks they could not counter. The Seven Divine Children still had not attacked Chen Lin, leaving him to wonder what was keeping them at bay.

• Seven Divine Children appeared around Chen Lin and debated how to eat him.
• Chen Lin attacked with lightning, soul power, and the Purple Spirit Ring, but the creatures devoured each attack and the spirit treasure.
• A white-robed young man fleeing a Golden Great Bird arrived, and the Seven Divine Children swallowed both the bird and his spirit boat.
• The young man identified the creatures as the Seven Divine Children and told Chen Lin that each could counter only one kind of attack, while their defenses were weak.
• Chen Lin questioned why the Seven Divine Children had not attacked him and wondered what they feared.

Chen Lin defeated the Seven Divine Children by using the Thunder God Sword to kill the figure that devoured lightning, then collected their Divine Beads. He learned that the Purple Spirit Ring could not be recovered and headed for White Jade City with Bao Tianci restrained in a Space Bag.

• Chen Lin used the Thunder God Sword, hidden in his lightning, to kill the striped Seven Divine Child and then destroyed the other six with thunder techniques.
• Chen Lin collected the Divine Beads and discovered that the Purple Spirit Ring swallowed by one of the figures was lost when it died.
• Bao Tianci identified the beads as valuable materials for refining Spirit Treasures and swore not to reveal what had happened.
• Bao Tianci told Chen Lin that he came from White Jade City and was returning there after visiting Disheng City.
• Chen Lin, suspicious of Bao Tianci despite their shared destination, restrained him in a Space Bag and flew toward White Jade City on the Void-Shattering Shuttle.

After reaching White Jade City, Chen Lin found little information about the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins and decided to hire low-ranking cultivators to explore them. He sought another source of information at the Immortal Spirit Tavern, where a bird greeted him instead of the Boss Lady.

• Chen Lin and Bao Tianci arrived at White Jade City, and Chen Lin told Bao to investigate information for him before entering the city alone.
• Chen Lin gathered information and learned that the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins were dangerous, distant, and had yielded no recent survivors with useful accounts.
• Chen Lin decided to hire elderly, low-ranking cultivators to explore the ruins and asked the proprietress of Ruyi Pavilion to find candidates.
• The proprietress agreed to recruit Qi Refining cultivators and carefully chosen Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Chen Lin posted the mission elsewhere as well.
• Chen Lin visited the Immortal Spirit Tavern to question its mysterious Boss Lady, but a bird inside called him a strong man as he entered.

Chen Lin visited the Immortal Spirit Tavern to seek help and sampled its alluring wine, which conjured visions of the people he loved. When the proprietress began a blind auction for three pots of spirit wine, Chen Lin joined the fierce bidding and offered fifty spirit crystals.

• Chen Lin entered the Immortal Spirit Tavern after the ugly bird at its entrance failed to affect him, and discovered that the tavern suppressed divine sense and served only when every table was occupied.
• Proprietress Xueniang welcomed the guests and served them Mutual Affection wine, whose visions revealed whom each drinker loved and whose cultivation benefit required a single beloved to appear.
• Chen Lin saw Luo Qinglan, then Qin Lingyu, Sun Caiyi, and Princess Qinghua in his illusion, while Xueniang explained the wine's special effect.
• Xueniang announced a blind auction of three pots of spirit wine, and the guests rapidly drove the bids upward.
• Chen Lin joined the auction and bid fifty spirit crystals.

Chen Lin won the first pick at the Immortal Spirit Tavern and revealed seven-color spiritual light, forcing the Boss Lady to honor her promise before closing the tavern. He asked about the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom and left with a Dragon Fish Goblet and a lead to Gu Lianfeng, along with a warning about the kingdom’s mutated inhabitants.

• Chen Lin bid fifty spirit crystals and won the first right to choose a pot of spirit wine.
• Chen Lin used his qi luck force to correct his destiny line, then opened a pot that released seven-color spiritual light.
• The Boss Lady announced that the Immortal Spirit Tavern would close, and the gray-robed old man and the middle-aged man took their wine and left.
• The Boss Lady offered to grant Chen Lin any request, and he asked for information about the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom.
• The Boss Lady gave Chen Lin the Dragon Fish Goblet and told him to seek Gu Lianfeng at the Imperial Palace.
• The Boss Lady warned Chen Lin that the former inhabitants of the Ancient Immortal Kingdom had mutated and were no longer truly human.

Chen Lin gathered elderly Blood Saber Sect cultivators to investigate the Ancient Kingdom Ruins and became interested in Zhou Shiwu’s seemingly worthless talent ability. As the group traveled toward the ruins, Chen Lin recruited Zhou Shiwu as a subordinate, then sensed someone outside the Spirit Boat’s protective barrier.

• Chen Lin learned from the Boss Lady that the Ancient Kingdom Ruins suppressed cultivators and could absorb them into their rules, so he hired cultivators to investigate whether Luo Qinglan was there.
• Manager Zheng brought Chen Lin twenty Qi Condensation cultivators and eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, including Zhou Rong, who had a yin-transforming constitution, and Zhou Shiwu, whose talent ability could erase the spirituality of low-grade magical tools.
• Chen Lin decided Zhou Shiwu’s ability might have potential, confirmed that the Blood Saber Sect would not object to recruiting him, and rewarded Manager Zheng with pills.
• Chen Lin offered the hired cultivators escalating rewards for exploring the ruins and led them there by Spirit Boat.
• Chen Lin asked Zhou Shiwu to become his subordinate, promised resources and the possibility of accepting him as a disciple if he achieved Core Formation, and Zhou Shiwu agreed.
• Chen Lin sensed someone beyond the Spirit Boat’s protective barrier and rushed outside.

Chen Lin and Grass killed Black Snake True Lord, a powerful cultivator who had ambushed them, and the Spirit Boat continued toward the Ancient Kingdom Ruins. After reflecting on the battle and considering possible retaliation, Chen Lin arrived at the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins.

• Chen Lin attacked the grey-robed old man, and his Xuanwu Shield blocked the Black Snake Thin Sword after his talent ability warned him of the lethal strike.
• Grass joined the fight and cut the old man in two, but he survived by using a substitute treasure and reappeared to attack Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin's Thunder God Sword disrupted Black Snake True Lord's attempt to activate his Primordial Spirit Domain, and Chen Lin destroyed his body and soul with further attacks.
• Chen Lin's companions learned that the old man was Black Snake True Lord of White Jade City's Tan Family Trading Firm, while Zhou Shiwu was pleased by Chen Lin's strength.
• Chen Lin considered how the old man's mistakes had decided the battle and weighed the risk of accomplices, then continued traveling without further trouble.
• The Spirit Boat reached the Three-Jade Ancient Kingdom Ruins, where ruined buildings and twisted space came into view.

Chen Lin waited outside the Ancient Kingdom Ruins while the elderly cultivators entered, then examined the spoils from Black Snake True Lord and discovered a recipe for Drunken God Brew. After researching a qi-luck-bearing ball for more than ten days, he learned it could gather qi luck force and release it all at once.

• Chen Lin sent the elderly cultivators into the Ancient Kingdom Ruins and prepared to wait outside for three months while Zhou Shiwu guarded his cave dwelling.
• Chen Lin examined Black Snake True Lord’s treasures, identifying his Black Snake Thin Sword and a rare Lightning Avoidance Bead.
• Chen Lin found the Drunken God Brew recipe, which could improve the chance of ascending to Void Refinement, and realized his interference had changed Black Snake True Lord’s fate.
• Chen Lin discovered a fist-sized ball containing qi luck force and spent more than ten days studying it.
• Chen Lin mastered the ball’s function: it accumulated qi luck force and released it all at once.
