• The group found four wooden boxes behind a powerful barrier, and Zi Yan reached through it to retrieve them.
• Lin Feng opened the first box, found two silver scrolls containing a lightning-attribute cultivation method and fighting skill, and stored the box because the contents were useless to him.

Lin Feng discovered a modified Earth Tier Advanced Flame Manipulation Art, a seventh-tier snake-type magical beast’s magic core, and an ancient Sky Demon Puppet refining technique among Earth Demon Old Ghost’s treasures.

Lin Feng looted Magic Flame Valley’s treasury and converted Earth Demon Old Ghost’s former cultivation chamber into a pill-refining room. After several failed attempts, he successfully refined a Low-grade Seventh-grade Instant Qi Pill and began recovering his Dou Qi before taking out a bamboo scroll.

• Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa admired Earth Demon Old Ghost’s puppet-refining method, and Lin Feng said he would use it to make puppets to protect Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

• Lin Feng stored the pill, recovered his Dou Qi, and took an ordinary grayish-brown bamboo scroll from his storage ring.

Lin Feng began refining two Dou Huang-level demon puppets using the Sky Demon Puppet method. After several days of work, the bodies absorbed the soul fragments and Magic Core energy, producing puppets with Five-Star Dou Huang-level auras.

• Lin Feng studied the Sky Demon Puppet method and chose two Dou Huang corpses for practice.

• The Magic Cores released energy through the corpses, which shrank and developed emotionless Five-Star Dou Huang-level auras.

• Lin Feng finished refining two Dou Huang corpses into bronze human-grade Demon Puppets and stored them without claiming them.
• He spent nearly half a month turning his remaining Dou Huang corpses, including Fang Yan, into human-grade Demon Puppets, then refined several powerful Dou Zong corpses into Earth Demon Puppets.
• Lin Feng assessed the six Earth Demon Puppets and chose the ones made from Old Man Eagle Mountain and Elder Yin to take with him, leaving the others for Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
• Lin Feng dripped his blood onto the two chosen Earth Demon Puppets, and faint traces of life appeared in their hollow eyes.

Lin Feng prepared to refine a Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill in public at the former site of Magic Flame Valley, drawing powerful witnesses while Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian guarded him. After refining the pill’s first three main ingredients, he added a drop of powerful blue-red blood obtained from Zi Yan, leaving the refinement underway.

• Lin Feng tested his control over two demon puppets and stored them as guards.
• Several days later, Lin Feng began refining a Seventh Grade Pill on a stone platform, with Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and other experts protecting him as onlookers gathered.
• Lin Feng lit the Myriad Beast Cauldron with the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame and recalled the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill’s recipe.
• Lin Feng refined the Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Bone Spirit Fruit, and Mysterious Heaven Green Vine with their supplementary ingredients into three clusters of medicinal liquid.
• Lin Feng added a drop of blue-red blood obtained from Zi Yan to the cauldron, startling the watching experts with its powerful energy.

• Lin Feng combined the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix essence blood with the medicinal ingredients, but the blood’s violent energy destabilized the mixture.
• A remnant soul awakened inside the essence blood, releasing immense pressure and a beast-shaped apparition that frightened the onlookers.
• Lin Feng added a drop of blood from Zi Yan, suppressing the pressure and allowing the medicinal ingredients to fuse under the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame.
• Lin Feng carefully refined the mixture for five days as the Dou Zong experts watched from a distance.
• An energy storm formed in the Myriad Beast Cauldron and condensed into a violet-red Nascent Pill, which Lin Feng began nurturing with controlled flames.

Lin Feng refined a Seventh Grade Pill that summoned Dan Thunder, then sent Silver Two to absorb the lightning and grow stronger. The storm continued to strike the puppet, leaving it battered but still absorbing the thunder.

• Lin Feng completed a red-and-purple pill, and its formation summoned Dan Thunder above the valley.
• Lin Feng brought out Silver Two, his Earth Demon Puppet, and ordered it to intercept the lightning.
• Silver Two absorbed the first thunderbolts, leaving the watching Dou Zongs astonished by its strength and lack of aura.
• The Dan Thunder intensified, and Xiao Yi Xian wondered whether the Sky Demon Puppet could withstand its power.
• A powerful bolt struck Silver Two and cracked its body, but the puppet absorbed the scattered lightning arcs.

Lin Feng completed the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill and became a Seventh-grade Alchemist, then swallowed a Huang Ji Pill to advance to Nine-star Dou Huang. The chapter left him stronger and preparing to continue his cultivation.

Lin Feng discovered that the Grand Xuan Fire Control Array, an Earth Tier Advanced Dou Skill taken from Old Man Eagle Mountain, could reach the power of a mid-level Heavenly Grade skill under the right conditions. He suspected its hidden soul seal contained answers about the ancient Saint who created it and began preparing to break it.

• Lin Feng examined the scroll and detected a hidden soul seal beneath traces of an older Dou Qi seal.
• He read that the Grand Xuan Fire Control Array could trap enemies, amplify flames, and plant sparks inside foes to detonate later.
• Lin Feng learned that its creator had used the array to kill a Peak Three-star Dou Sheng while at the Early Three-star Dou Sheng level.
• He wondered how Old Man Eagle Mountain had obtained such a rare skill and considered the creator's identity and abilities.
• Lin Feng concluded that the soul seal held the answers and decided he could break it with enough time.

Lin Feng broke the restriction on the scroll and learned the life story of an ancient Seventh-grade Alchemist, including how he discovered an inheritance and later survived the destruction of his group in a Dou Sheng Relic. The alchemist’s message also revealed the relic’s location, leaving Lin Feng with knowledge of a dangerous opportunity.

• Lin Feng read the ancient alchemist’s account and learned that the alchemist had risen from a modest family to become a talented Seventh-grade Alchemist and Dou Zun.
• The alchemist developed the Pill Embracing method, refined the Eighth-grade Jin Zun Pill, and later received a cultivation method and soul art from a hidden family.
• The alchemist and his companions entered a Dou Sheng Relic, where guardian magical beasts attacked after they discovered a Golden Exotic Flame.
• The alchemist escaped through a spatial rift created by his father-in-law’s self-destruction, then destroyed his family’s inherited techniques and left behind the relic’s location in the sealed message.

Lin Feng studied Dan Yitian’s inheritance and considered the powerful Dou Sheng Relic and its golden Heavenly Flame. Several days later, he met Ye Xinlan, who offered advanced alchemy knowledge, and asked what she wanted in exchange for it.

• Lin Feng reflected on Dan Yitian’s life and worried that the alchemist’s family might have disappeared before he could fulfill the senior’s final request.
• Lin Feng examined the Grand Xuan Fire Control Array and reasoned that the Dou Sheng Relic’s golden Heavenly Flame was likely the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire.
• Several days later, Zi Yan introduced Ye Xinlan to Lin Feng and explained that Ye Xinlan belonged to one of the Pill Tower’s Five Great Families.
• Ye Xinlan offered to teach Lin Feng seventh-grade alchemy and let him observe eighth-grade alchemy techniques and insights.
• Lin Feng greeted Ye Xinlan and directly asked what she required in exchange for the items he wanted.

Lin Feng prepared to leave for the Central Plains after promising Ye Xinlan that he would try to help the Ye Family reclaim its place among Pill Tower’s Five Great Families. Before departing, he strengthened Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and the Inner Academy, then ended the chapter sharing a bed with Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian.

• Lin Feng carried Cai Lin into Xiao Yi Xian’s room and shared a bed with both women.

After leaving Cai Lin behind in the Black Corner Region, Lin Feng traveled with Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan toward the Central Plains. The group reached Tianya City, where they planned to rest before using its Space Wormhole.

• Lin Feng confirmed that Cai Lin's unborn child would be safe, then said goodbye to her before departing with Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan.
• Zi Yan joined the journey after Su Qian agreed she could search for her family in the Central Plains.
• After three days of flight, Xiao Yi Xian consulted a map and told Lin Feng that Tianya City was nearby.
