• Su Qian decided that he and Hu Gan would attend the Black Emperor Pavilion Auction to compete for the sixth-tier alchemist insights.
• Han Feng dismissed the value of the insights and reflected that his Flame Mantra had kept him from reaching Dou Zong and becoming a seventh-tier alchemist.

Qian Renhan killed Yichen when the Tianming Sect Young Sect Master attacked him at the auction, then devoured Yichen’s soul and learned the sect’s powerful techniques. He acquired a quasi-Earth Rank cultivation technique in the auction and decided to delay cultivating the Tianming Fiendish Formula while he prepared for the Gu Clan’s pursuit.

• Qian Renhan exchanged the sixth-grade alchemist’s insights with Jia Nan Academy for a quasi-Earth Rank attribute-less cultivation technique and confirmed that the Gu Clan’s pursuers were still weeks away.
• Qian Renhan decided to wait half a month before cultivating the Tianming Fiendish Formula because it would make his Dou Qi denser and slow his progress through devouring.

After half a month, he had advanced to refining fifth-grade pills and planned to seek a major target to devour if none appeared within another week.

• Ziyan took an unfamiliar route through a misty mountain range and heard a Protector declare that he would take her as his mount.

Qian Renhan destroyed a Soul Hall branch in the Black-Corner Region, rescued Ziyan, and devoured its protectors and captured souls to grow stronger. After one day of cultivation, he reached the peak of the eight-star Dou Venerable realm and planned to pursue two more Soul Hall branches after dealing with the Gu Clan’s pursuit.
