Chapter Summaries

Li Fei developed the Five Elements Escape Technique while cultivating in the Back Mountain Forest, then joined Enjing and the other women for dinner and a visit to Plant City's auction house. The group arrived at the crowded Plant Auction House, where the auction was about to begin.

• Li Fei deduced the Five Elements Escape Technique in his yurt in the Back Mountain Forest, focusing on Earth Escape as a safer way to flee.
• Enjing and the other women searched for Li Fei, found his yurt, and met him as he finished cultivating.
• Li Fei agreed to treat the women to dinner and told them that natural forests suited Plant Type Soul Masters better than simulated training rooms.
• Enjing and the other women asked to cultivate beside Li Fei in the future, and he said they could discuss it after returning.
• Li Fei and the women explored Plant City's central district, ate together, and arrived at the nearly full Plant Auction House.

Li Fei attended the Plant Auction House with seven companions and recognized that the final lot, Myriad Year Whale Rubber, was a valuable treasure despite its reputation as an aphrodisiac. He bought it for Two Hundred Gold Soul Coins, while Enjing and the other women blushed at his purchase.

• Miaomiao opened the auction, and Li Fei explained that the Thorny Vine Sword's advertised poison might be exaggerated to protect the auction house from responsibility.
• The Thorny Vine Sword sold for One Thousand Gold Soul Coins, prompting Li Fei to reflect on the world's entrenched class divisions and the early point in history at which he had arrived.
• Miaomiao introduced Myriad Year Whale Rubber as the final lot, and few bidders showed interest because they knew it only as an aphrodisiac.
• Li Fei recognized the Whale Rubber's potential to strengthen the body and increase the maximum Soul Ring age, then bought it for Two Hundred Gold Soul Coins.
• Enjing and the other six women blushed and wondered why Li Fei wanted to buy the Whale Rubber.

Li Fei bought Myriad Year Whale Rubber and medicinal herbs to test his theory that they could strengthen a Soul Master's body. Back at the academy, he began researching alchemy so he could refine the ingredients into pills and unlock their full potential.

• Li Fei bought Myriad Year Whale Rubber at the auction, while an auction staff member mistook his reason for purchasing it.
• Enjing and the other women misunderstood Li Fei's intentions, and he explained that he planned to study the Whale Rubber for a different use.
• Li Fei bought ten sets of medicinal herbs and warned Enjing and the others to keep his research secret.
• Li Fei made a yurt for Enjing and the others, then returned to his own yurt to research alchemy.
• Li Fei recalled Xiao Yan's pill-refining methods from Battle Through the Heavens as a possible guide for developing his own technique.

Li Fei devised his own alchemy technique and successfully refined ten pills in a Five Elements furnace. After consuming several, he found that they strengthened his body and increased his Soul Ring absorption limit, though each pill had diminishing effects.

• Li Fei built a Yin Yang Five Elements Alchemy Furnace and refined a batch of herbs into ten blue pills.
• After restoring his Spiritual Power and Soul Power, Li Fei examined the pills and swallowed the first one.
• Li Fei circulated the Willow God Method to spread the pill’s medicinal power through his body, strengthening it and raising his Soul Ring absorption limit by several decades.
• Li Fei reasoned that finding high-age medicinal herbs in the Soul Beast Forest would be more useful than relying on common shop herbs.
• Li Fei consumed more pills and found their effects steadily diminished, with the seventh pill having no effect.

Li Fei perfected his alchemy and used Myriad Year Whale Rubber to refine a powerful Peiyuan Pill. After consuming it, he began purging impurities from his body, while Enjing and the other women traced the resulting stench to his yurt.

• Li Fei refined the remaining batches of herbs, reached masterful perfection in alchemy, and stored the pills that no longer affected him.
• Li Fei refined the Myriad Year Whale Rubber with the final herbs and produced one crystal-clear blue pill, which he named the Peiyuan Pill.

• Enjing and the other women finished cultivating, smelled the foul stench, and suspected it was coming from Li Fei's yurt.

• Enjing, Xu Ya, and the women worried that Li Fei had died after smelling a foul odor outside his Mongolian yurt, but Enjing reasoned that the Ambrosial Arbors were still healthy.
• Li Fei awoke after the Whale Rubber Pill cleansed his meridians and marrow, strengthened his body, raised his Soul Power to level 23, and increased his Soul Ring absorption limit by at least five thousand years.
• Li Fei saw the women waiting outside through the Ambrosial Arbor's perspective and opened the door, reassuring them that he was alive.
• The women noticed Li Fei's improved appearance and physique, then explained that the smell had made them fear something had happened to him.
• Li Fei brought the women inside and explained that his pill furnace was for refining pills, introducing them to a method he had developed himself.

Li Fei gave the women Peiyuan Pills he had refined and joined them for a walk after they cultivated and felt stronger. Outside the dormitories, Di Jie found Li Fei and challenged him to a rematch after obtaining his second Soul Ring.

• Li Fei explained that the Peiyuan Pills strengthened the body, then gave one to each woman while concealing Whale Rubber's true effects.
• The women swallowed the pills, cultivated, and felt their bodies grow stronger before inviting Li Fei out to eat.
• Li Fei and the women passed the dormitory as Di Jie asked students where to find Li Fei so he could challenge him.
• Di Jie explained that he respected Li Fei's theories but wanted to test his combat strength, and revealed that he was now a level twenty-one Soul Master.
• Li Fei recognized Di Jie's four-hundred-year-old Gold Vine Second Soul Ring, and Di Jie declared that he would defeat Li Fei this time.

• Li Fei created the Myriad Willow Cage, bound Di Jie, broke through his Vine King Armor, and whipped him until Di Jie begged him to stop.

• Su Ru told Li Fei that Plant Academy could not teach him much more and invited him to help the Plant Team compete in the All Continent Elite Soul Master Competition.
• Li Fei agreed to help the academy, and Su Ru then revealed her Lotus Demon martial soul and asked to take him as her disciple.

After a year of cultivation, Li Fei reached Soul Power Level 25 and began considering a trip to seek stronger Whale Rubber and a chance to advance faster.

• Li Fei urged Su Ru to secretly buy Whale Rubber, and she agreed to gather it and investigate Vast Sea City.
• Over the next year, Li Fei raised his physical strength to seven thousand years and his Soul Power from Level 23 to level twenty-five, while Su Ru collected lower-age Whale Rubber and refined it into Pills.
• After learning that high-age Whale Rubber was scarce and found only in dangerous deep-sea regions, Li Fei decided to seek a fortuitous opportunity and went to Su Ru’s office.

Li Fei left Plant Academy to travel to Heaven Dou City and Vast Sea City, using Earth Escape to journey quickly. On the way, he discovered a village massacred by a Fallen Soul Master, buried the villagers, and continued toward Yanluo City to report the crime to Spirit Hall.

• Li Fei buried the villagers beneath the earth and headed for Yanluo City to inform Spirit Hall about the massacre.

Li Fei tested how his new Wood Release clone affected cultivation, then learned Spirit Hall suspected him after he reported the massacre at Grass Temple Village. The Hunter Soul Team confronted him at an inn and ordered him to come to Spirit Hall for questioning.

• Li Fei created Wood Release clones and found that one clone cultivating alongside him gave him full feedback, while multiple clones divided the gains.
• Li Fei sent a clone to Spirit Hall to report the massacre at Grass Temple Village, prompting the Branch Hall to suspect the Fallen Soul Master was the hunted Demon Scythe.

• At breakfast, Li Fei overheard diners discussing the Grass Temple Village massacre before a Spirit Hall Hunter Soul Team entered the inn.
• The Hunter Soul Captain questioned Li Fei about burying the bodies and, suspecting him of involvement, ordered him to come to Spirit Hall; Li Fei agreed to go for now.

He left to strengthen himself and absorbed a Five Thousand Year Golden Ancient Tree, beginning to transform his Yin Yang Willow with its life energy.

• Li Fei reached the hidden Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye, sealed its entrances, and planted a Yin Yang Willow seed as a secret marker.
