Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng and Qing Lin waited in the Tagor Desert to see whether the Mo Clan would come after Qing Lin’s Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and prepared the magical beasts to fight them. Mo Cheng’s search party found their area, and the chapter ended as the mercenaries began screaming in an attack.

• Lin Feng hid the cave entrance, stationed magical beasts to guard it, and took Qing Lin to an oasis while they waited for the Mo Clan to act.
• During their stay, Lin Feng advanced to two-star Dou Master and used pills to strengthen the magical beasts, including two Desert Horned Vipers that reached the third tier.

• As the group advanced, a mercenary screamed, and more screams followed in quick succession.

Mo Cheng’s group pursued Little Rock after Mo Ran recognized the mark of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, only to be caught in a poisonous mist ambush. The chapter left Mo Cheng and the few survivors confronting Lin Feng and Qing Lin alongside a group of powerful snakes.

After killing Mo Cheng, Lin Feng collected his treasures and helped Xiao Ling recover, but Qing Lin sensed two powerful visitors from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Lü Man and Bai Ya arrived to take Qing Lin with them, and she agreed only if they first helped Lin Feng.

• Lin Feng confirmed Mo Cheng's death, took his Mountain Breaking Arm and Storage Ring, and collected the other fallen enemies' rings.

• Lin Feng recognized the Heavenly Serpent Mansion visitors as Dou Emperors, while Lü Man recognized Qing Lin as the owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.
• Lü Man asked Qing Lin to return with them, and Qing Lin agreed on the condition that they first help Lin Feng.

Lin Feng asked Lü Man and Bai Ya to help him obtain Heavenly Flames, while Qing Lin used her threat to destroy her eyes to protect him from the Heavenly Serpent Mansion envoys. The envoys refrained from taking his flames, and Bai Ya weighed the risks and rewards of helping Lin Feng as they considered bringing Qing Lin back to the mansion.

• Qing Lin threatened to destroy her eyes if Lü Man and Bai Ya insulted Lin Feng or forced her to return without him.
• Lin Feng asked Lü Man and Bai Ya to help him obtain Heavenly Flames, and they considered trading for the rare treasure.
• Bai Ya offered Lin Feng a Fifth-grade Pill for his Heavenly Flames, but Lin Feng refused.
• Lü Man and Bai Ya threatened Lin Feng, so he warned them that Qing Lin would avenge him if they harmed him.
• Qing Lin backed Lin Feng's warning, and Bai Ya decided that helping them might be safer and more rewarding than seizing the flames.

Lin Feng persuaded Lü Man and Bai Ya to help him retrieve the Heavenly Flames by promising each three Sect Breaking Pills and his friendship. After reaching the underground magma cave, Lü Man protected Lin Feng as they followed Xiao Ling toward the blue flame.

• Lin Feng demonstrated his powerful Soul Perception and explained that he was a Third-grade Alchemist who expected to advance soon, convincing Bai Ya and Lü Man to help.
• Lin Feng led Qing Lin, Lü Man, and Bai Ya to the hidden passage beneath the sand dune, where Bai Ya stayed behind to guard the entrance.
• Lü Man widened the passage with Dou Qi and followed Lin Feng and Qing Lin down to the underground magma cave.
• Lin Feng told Lü Man that the Heavenly Flames lay in the magma and assured her he could control them while she held them back.
• Qing Lin released Xiao Ling and ordered it to lead Lin Feng to the blue flame, then waited as Lü Man carried Lin Feng into the magma inside a protective barrier.

Lin Feng and Lü Man followed the Fire Spirit Snake through dangerous magma currents to find the Green Lotus Core Flame. They reached its floating Green Lotus and prepared to take the flame, but had not yet attempted to capture it.

• Lin Feng and Lü Man followed the Fire Spirit Snake deeper into the magma, avoiding violent currents as the magma turned green and grew hotter.
• They found a green curtain of light and identified the Heavenly Flame within as the Green Lotus Core Flame.
• Lin Feng warned Lü Man that the flame could rival a peak Dou Huang while drawing energy from the magma, so she strengthened their protective barrier before entering.
• Inside the curtain, Lin Feng and Lü Man examined the eight-petaled Green Lotus and carefully avoided its energy-draining tendrils.
• Lin Feng and Lü Man reached the lotus platform and saw the Green Lotus Core Flame shifting between the shapes of a lotus and a small serpent; Lü Man asked how they should proceed.

Lin Feng retrieved the Green Lotus from the Green Lotus Core Flame and stored the Heavenly Flame, but Qing Lin sensed a powerful newcomer with a bloodline similar to hers. Lin Feng and Lü Man recognized the newcomer as Queen Medusa and hurried toward the surface as fighting shook the cave.

• Lü Man reinforced Lin Feng's protective barrier while he cut the Green Lotus free and carried it back through the flames.
• Lin Feng stored the Green Lotus Core Flame in an empty Storage Ring, and he and Lü Man left the lava chamber.
• Queen Medusa sensed the Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert and vanished from her hall to seek it.
• Qing Lin warned Lin Feng and Lü Man that a powerful person with a bloodline like hers had appeared above, and she judged that person stronger than Bai Ya.
• Lin Feng identified the newcomer as Queen Medusa, gave Lü Man two fourth-grade Qi Recovery Pills, and watched her take a fifth-grade pill instead.
• As the cave shook from the battle above, Lü Man carried Qing Lin toward the surface while Lin Feng raced after them.

Lin Feng and his allies clashed with Queen Medusa after she ambushed Bai Ya while they tried to retrieve the Heavenly Flames. With the group outmatched and Lin Feng unable to escape, he proposed a plan that required the two Dou Huang to cooperate.

• Queen Medusa struck Bai Ya into the dunes, then sent Hua She'er after Lin Feng as he tried to flee.
• A black shadow rescued Lin Feng and knocked Hua She'er away, while Bai Ya confronted Medusa and blamed Lin Feng for the trouble.
• Lin Feng promised to refine Pills for Bai Ya, easing the injured snake's anger, and Lü Man asked how they could escape Medusa.
• After Bai Ya explained they could barely hold Medusa off, Lin Feng touched the Storage Ring containing the Heavenly Flames and said he had a plan that needed both Seniors' cooperation.

Lin Feng negotiated with Queen Medusa to exchange the Heavenly Flames for compensation rather than fight. Medusa accepted the deal, and the group prepared to proceed with her evolution.

• Lin Feng asked Lü Man and Bai Ya to back his plan to avoid fighting Queen Medusa.
• Lin Feng revealed that Medusa sought the Heavenly Flames to evolve into a Dou Zong, and Bai Ya realized the danger of her plan.
• Lin Feng offered to lend Medusa the Heavenly Flames in exchange for a beast fire, prescriptions, and help removing a seal.
• Lin Feng threatened that he, Lü Man, and Bai Ya would fight to the death if Medusa tried to seize the flames, prompting Hua She'er to urge Medusa to reconsider.
• Medusa negotiated for a Fifth-tier Beast Fire, two Fourth-grade Prescriptions, and a strand of energy to lift the seal, and Lin Feng agreed to choose the prescriptions.

Medusa brought Lin Feng, Bai Ya, and Lü Man to the Snake People Tribe and prepared to evolve in exchange for the Heavenly Flames. After securing her subordinates’ agreement not to interfere if she failed, she sent Lin Feng to the treasury to choose two Fourth-grade Prescriptions.

• Lin Feng asked Bai Ya and Lü Man to protect him until the transaction was complete, and Bai Ya agreed to recover in the Snake People Tribe.
• Medusa’s leaders confronted the group, but she declared them guests and forced Mo Bass to stand down.
• At the temple, Medusa ordered her people to gather what she needed for evolution and promised the Heavenly Flames would be returned if she failed.
• Medusa told Lin Feng she wanted the Heavenly Flames, but he said he would hand them over when it was time for her evolution.
• Medusa ordered Yue Mei to obtain Beast Fire from the Flame King Snake and sent Hua She'er to take Lin Feng to the treasury for two Fourth-grade Prescriptions.
• Hua She'er led Lin Feng into the Stone Treasury, where he saw shelves of Cultivation Methods and Fighting Skills, and warned him not to covet them.

Lin Feng chose two Fourth-grade Prescriptions from the Snake People Tribe’s vault and negotiated to refine its neglected medicinal herbs in exchange for reading its Alchemist’s Notes and receiving thirty percent of the pills. Three months later, he had refined a difficult Third-grade Qi Refining Pill, but Hua She’er’s monitor still checked his work.

• Lin Feng found the prescriptions for the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill in the Snake People Tribe’s treasure vault.
• Lin Feng noticed that the tribe’s medicinal herbs had been stored carelessly and proposed refining them into pills for a thirty-percent share.
• Hua She’er agreed to let Lin Feng read the Alchemist’s Notes and the recipes for pills he refined, as long as he did not take the notes away.
• Lin Feng advanced to a three-star Dou Master and used Fifth-tier Beast Fire to refine a Third-grade Qi Refining Pill.
• Hua She’er’s snake-woman monitor checked the pill and confirmed Lin Feng had refined it correctly, while Lin Feng complained about being watched after three months.

Medusa placed the Green Lotus Core Flame in a Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat and left to attempt her evolution while Lin Feng waited with Qing Lin and the others. The Heavenly Flame’s violent aura drew the attention of Xiao Yan, Old Yao, and other experts, who rushed toward the Tagor Desert.

• Medusa took the Green Lotus Core Flame from Lin Feng and contained it in a Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat before leaving to evolve.
• Lin Feng stayed at the temple with Qing Lin, Lü Man, and Bai Ya, declined another invitation to join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and read alchemist notes.
• The Green Lotus Core Flame erupted with a powerful aura that dyed the distant sky green and alarmed Lin Feng.
• Old Yao sensed the Heavenly Flame from the Monster Mountain Range, took control of Xiao Yan, and flew with him toward the Tagor Desert.
• A middle-aged man at the Misty Cloud Sect and experts near Jia Ma Holy City also set out toward the disturbance.

Queen Medusa’s evolution triggered a heavenly lightning strike, and her overwhelming aura briefly appeared before fading, leaving the Snake People unsure of her fate. Lin Feng recovered the weakened Green Lotus Core Flame, while Yin Shi ordered the tribe to prepare for approaching experts from the Jia Ma Empire.

• Dark clouds and silver lightning gathered over the city, and Bai Ya suspected that Queen Medusa’s evolution had caused the phenomenon.
• A massive bolt of lightning struck the azure flame, after which a powerful aura erupted and quickly vanished, leaving Medusa’s success uncertain.
• Lin Feng and his companions approached the Eight Great Leaders to claim the Heavenly Flame, and Mo Bass angrily challenged them before Yin Shi silenced him.
• Yue Mei placed the weakened Green Lotus Core Flame in the Mysterious Crystal Lotus Seat and returned it to Lin Feng, who stored it away.
• Yin Shi dismissed Lin Feng and his companions, then ordered the Snake People to guard their territory and summon their secluded experts against a possible arrival from the Jia Ma Empire.

Lin Feng parted from Qing Lin and promised to return for her, then discovered that the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python had been following him. He fed the snake pills and persuaded it to accompany him as he set off for Stone Desert City.

• Bai Ya and Lü Man left Lin Feng near the city after he said goodbye to Qing Lin and promised he would come see her again.
• Lin Feng noticed a watcher and identified the tiny seven-colored snake as the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, evolved from Queen Medusa's companion soul.
• The Heaven Swallowing Python showed affection for Lin Feng and the Green Lotus Core Flame in his Storage Ring.
• Lin Feng decided to take the snake with him, fed it cultivation pills, and got it to agree to follow him.
• The Heaven Swallowing Python curled up on Lin Feng's arm, and he dashed toward Stone Desert City.

Lin Feng returned to Desert City carrying the concealed Earth Core Fire and sent the Sky Swallowing Python, Little Cai, to attack Hai Bodong at his Ancient Map shop. Hai Bodong fought back with ice techniques as Little Cai pressed the assault.

• Lin Feng saw that the Desert Iron Mercenary Group had taken control of Stone Desert City and avoided confronting Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
• After nearby Dou Kings flew toward the Tagor Desert, Lin Feng feared Yao Chen would detect the Earth Core Fire and fled by a long detour to Desert City.
• Lin Feng woke Little Cai with the promise of a Blazing Flame Vine and disguised it in a black hooded robe before sending it to knock out Hai Bodong.
• Hai Bodong dodged Little Cai's attack, but the disguised python shattered his ice mirror and struck him through the shop wall.
• Hai Bodong unleashed Mysterious Ice Whirlwind Kill, sending a storm of spinning ice blades at Little Cai.

Lin Feng and Little Cai defeated Hai Bodong and took both halves of the Demon Fire Fragmented Map, then left him the Unsealing Pill before setting out for the Jia Ma Empire’s Imperial Capital. After the pill restored Hai Bodong’s strength, his surging energy destroyed his shop and spread across Stone Desert City and nearby cities.

• Little Cai broke through Hai Bodong’s ice attacks and knocked him unconscious.
• Lin Feng found one Fragmented Map in the ruined shop and took the other from Hai Bodong’s storage ring, joining the pieces together.
• After Little Cai confirmed Hai Bodong had not recognized her, Lin Feng spared him and placed Medusa’s Unsealing Pill inside a piece of ice in his mouth.
• Lin Feng left for the Jia Ma Empire’s Imperial Capital, and the melted ice carried the pill into Hai Bodong’s stomach.
• Hai Bodong’s restored power erupted, destroying his shop and sending deadly energy ripples through Stone Desert City and nearby cities.

Hai Bodong broke the Medusa Seal and regained his Dou Huang strength, then confronted the mysterious man who had robbed him through a message left in the ruins. Several days later, Lin Feng arrived at the Imperial Capital and checked into an inn, planning to visit the Alchemist Guild Headquarters.

• Hai Bodong expelled the last of the Purple Energy, broke the seal, and regained his Dou Huang strength.
• Hai Bodong found a message saying the black-robed man had taken his belongings and used materials from his Storage Ring to refine a Breaking Calamity Pill, and he vowed to seek revenge.
• The Royal Old Monster arrived and challenged Hai Bodong to spar after Hai Bodong offered compensation for the damage to Stone Desert City.
• Several days later, Lin Feng arrived in the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Capital and admired the city from his Flying Magical Beast.
• Lin Feng checked into an inn and planned to visit the Alchemist Guild Headquarters.

Lin Feng sorted through Hai Bodong’s Storage Ring, planned to trade the Earth Core Fire at Jia Nan Academy, and cultivated on the Green Lotus Seat. Meanwhile, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan tested Beast Fire as a way to evolve Fen Jue, and Hai Bodong flew toward a battle involving them.

• Lin Feng found valuable Dou Skills, cultivation methods, gold, a Breaking Calamity Pill prescription, and its medicinal herbs in Hai Bodong’s Storage Ring.
• Lin Feng decided to enroll at Jia Nan Academy in half a year and offer the Earth Core Fire to Elder Huo in exchange for cultivation resources and possible access to Heavenly Flames.
• Lin Feng removed eleven Earth Core Lotus Seeds, then cultivated on the Green Lotus Seat with the aim of reaching Four-star Dou Shi within a week.
• Hai Bodong sensed Dou Wang-level combat ahead and flew toward the battle.
