Chapter Summaries

After reaching Ling Ku City, Lin Feng released Lan Xiang from his control and explored the city before choosing Yun Lan Trading Firm to browse its wares. He entered a private room to inquire about Pill Recipes and prepare to buy supplies for his recultivation.

• Lin Feng let Lan Xiang fly to her sect's outpost, with the Fire Pearl's remaining energy set to end his control after a little over two days.
• Lin Feng flew into Ling Ku City and marveled at its open gates, orderly streets, and unrestricted flying.
• Lin Feng decided to visit a trading firm and chose Yun Lan Trading Firm after spotting its sign.
• A maidservant guided Lin Feng inside, and he asked whether the firm sold Pill Recipes up to the top-grade Mortal Pill level.
• The maidservant treated Lin Feng as a major customer and led him into a private room to discuss the firm's goods.

Lin Feng visited a trading house in Ling Ku City and offered Mid-grade Spirit Liquid while seeking pill recipes, prompting Shopkeeper Su to treat him as a major customer. He examined a Wind Dispelling Pill recipe, with the trading negotiations still underway.

• Lin Feng showed a maid two drops of Mid-grade Spirit Liquid and asked her to summon someone with authority to handle his requests.
• The maid brought Shopkeeper Su, who introduced herself and learned that Lin Feng was using the name Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family.
• Su Yun presented three top-grade mortal pill recipes, each priced at no less than one hundred thousand drops of Low-grade Spirit Liquid.
• Lin Feng produced eight more drops of Mid-grade Spirit Liquid, and Su Yun invited him to examine the recipes at his leisure.
• Lin Feng read the Wind Dispelling Pill recipe’s description and considered its temporary boost to flying speed interesting.

Lin Feng bought the Marrow Refining Pill and Wind Dispelling Pill recipes, then learned of a high-end trade fair in Kong Tian City where he might find cultivation resources. After buying medicinal herb seeds and using his Living Flame to grow them, he successfully refined a Wind Dispelling Pill, leaving him ready to test more pills from the Hundred Source Continent.

• Lin Feng bought the Marrow Refining Pill and Wind Dispelling Pill recipes from Su Yun and asked about items useful to Ying Tian Realm cultivators.
• Su Yun told Lin Feng about a high-end trade fair in Kong Tian City hosted by the Righteous Thunder Sect in three months, and he left the Trading Firm.

• Lin Feng bought medicinal herb seeds and seedlings, spending most of his Spirit Liquid, then used his Living Flame to grow the herbs and harvest more seeds.
• Lin Feng refined a Wind Dispelling Pill with Heavenly Flames and successfully produced a pale cyan pill.

After refining Wind Dispelling Pills and Marrow Refining Pills, Lin Feng prepared to leave Ling Ku City and work toward the Kong Tian City trade fair. Su Yun visited with medicinal herbs to win his favor, but Lin Feng declined to stay and instead revealed that he had refined two pills himself.

• Lin Feng refined Wind Dispelling Pills and Marrow Refining Pills, then cultivated seeds for medicinal herbs from the Dou Qi Continent.

• Lin Feng refused the herbs, explaining that he planned to leave Ling Ku City soon.
• Lin Feng gave Su Yun two pills as thanks for telling him about the Kong Tian City trade fair.
• Su Yun and the two elderly men were shocked when Lin Feng said he had refined the pills.

Su Yun tried to recruit Lin Feng to sell pills through the Yun Lan Trading Firm after seeing how quickly he refined unfamiliar recipes, but Lin Feng questioned whether the small firm could handle the business. Su Yun offered to sell his pills at market price without taking a cut and search for items he needed, leaving Lin Feng to decide whether to accept.

• Su Yun explained that she was shocked by Lin Feng refining two unfamiliar pills overnight and suggested he make pills to earn Spirit Liquid for the Kong Tian City trading fair.
• Lin Feng agreed that selling goods in Kong Tian City’s markets could be worthwhile, but said Su Yun’s trading firm lacked the capacity to handle many pills.
• Su Yun offered to pay in full for up to one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Liquid worth of pills and pay half in advance for any excess.
• Lin Feng pointed out that large trading firms could buy his pills outright, while the Yun Lan Trading Firm lacked the funds to do so.
• Su Yun offered to sell his pills at market price without taking a cut and to search for items he needed free of charge.

Lin Feng negotiated with Su Yun to supply pills after learning that Low-grade Spirit Pill formulas were far more expensive than he had expected. He left Ling Ku City for the mountains, where he rejected Xiao Ling’s suggestion to plunder the city and promised both Xiao Ling and Little Nine rewards for their loyalty.

• Lin Feng offered the Yun Lan Trading Firm a month of pills in exchange for three Low-grade Spirit Pill formulas and herbs, but Su Yun explained that the deal’s value could not cover the formulas’ high cost in the Eastern Xuan Domain.
• Lin Feng agreed to produce whatever quantities the firm could sell and gave Su Yun dozens of Wind Dispelling Pills and Marrow Refining Pills to test the market.
• Lin Feng vanished from the room, and Su Yun and the two old men discussed the opportunity and risks of working with him.
• Lin Feng left Ling Ku City, defeated several Lower Three Tribulations cultivators who tried to rob him, and took their possessions.
• Xiao Ling proposed looting Ling Ku City, but Lin Feng warned that the nearby sects and holy lands might retaliate, so she abandoned the plan.
• Lin Feng promised Xiao Ling and Little Nine pills and future rewards, then listened as the two quarreled after Little Nine accidentally burned his clothes with lightning.

Lin Feng tested modified Healing Pills and Essence Replenishing Pills on two bandits, while Xiao Ling and Little Nine repeatedly bickered and mishandled the experiment. After the pills helped the bandits break through to Ying Tian Realm, Little Nine killed them, and the two girls waited for Lin Feng to finish refining pills.

• Lin Feng finished refining a Seventh Grade Pill, and Little Nine returned with two powerful bandits as test subjects.
• Xiao Ling and Little Nine argued until Lin Feng scolded them and gave them modified Healing Pills and Essence Replenishing Pills to test.
• Xiao Ling mistakenly fed the bandits Essence Replenishing Pills while they were unconscious, and the girls frantically forced the pills out before healing them.
• After recovering, the bandits swallowed the Essence Replenishing Pills and advanced from the Lower Three Tribulations to Ying Tian Realm.
• The bandits threatened Xiao Ling, but Little Nine tore them apart before they could attack, then waited with Xiao Ling for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave Su Yun a new batch of pills, including Essence Replenishing Pills that could help cultivators advance and Soul Devouring Pills that could rapidly raise a Ju Dan Realm cultivator’s strength. Su Yun planned to sell them through an auction and other trading firms, but learned that the Soul Devouring Pill left its user with only ten years to live unless they reached the seventh layer of the Ying Tian Realm.

• Lin Feng returned after several days of alchemy, and Su Yun gave him seventy thousand Low-grade Spirit Liquid from selling his previous pills.
• Lin Feng handed Su Yun a hundred top-grade mortal pills and explained the advancement effects of the Essence Replenishing Pill and Soul Devouring Pill.
• Lin Feng clarified that the Essence Replenishing Pill had limited success rates but no harmful side effects beyond becoming ineffective after repeated use.
• Su Yun proposed promoting the pills and selling them through an auction and other trading firms, and Lin Feng agreed as long as he received a good price.
• Lin Feng revealed that the Soul Devouring Pill reduced the user's remaining lifespan to ten years, unless they reached the seventh layer of the Ying Tian Realm before then.

Lin Feng restored his cultivation to the eighth layer of the Ying Tian Realm, while Su Yun organized the Yun Lan Trading Firm to sell his pills through an auction. The auction drew intense competition from trading firms, leaving Su Yun and the elders satisfied with the prices they secured.

• Su Yun agreed to sell the Soul Devouring Pills alongside Lin Feng's Azure Nether Longevity Pills, whose ten-year lifespan extension offset the Soul Devouring Pills' cost.
• Su Yun persuaded the two elders to use the pills and the trading firm's resources to build a group of Lower Three Tribulations death warriors and strengthen the firm.
• Lin Feng absorbed more than seventy thousand units of Low-grade Spirit Liquid, advancing from the seventh to the eighth layer of the Ying Tian Realm.
• Lin Feng decided to cultivate by refining pills and left Ling Ku City, while Su Yun publicized the Yun Lan Trading Firm's pills and prepared an auction.
• More than a hundred trading firms attended the auction and competed fiercely for the pills, allowing Su Yun and the elders to avoid a price drop and sell at higher prices.

Su Yun delivered the proceeds from selling Lin Feng’s pills, and he offered her a reward before realizing she feared the City Lord’s Mansion’s elders. The elders revealed they had come to seize a pill formula and ordered Lin Feng to accompany them, leaving him facing their coercive demand.

• Su Yun gave Lin Feng five storage bags containing 4.86 million drops of Low-grade Spirit Liquid, and he accepted the payment with satisfaction.
• Lin Feng offered Su Yun and her companions a reward, then asked whether they were frightened by the two Ying Tian Realm cultivators with them.
• Su Yun and the two elders admitted nothing, while she silently blamed the City Lord’s Mansion for forcing them to bring its men along.

• Lin Feng challenged their hostile manner and suggested they planned to take his pill formulas by force.
• The Second Elder admitted the City Lord wanted a pill formula that could strengthen He Tian Realm cultivators, and both elders ordered Lin Feng to obey.

Lin Feng fought off the Ling Ku City Lord’s two elders after they demanded that he be punished for insulting their master. He left Su Yun and the others alive, then sent Xiao Ling to loot the City Lord’s Mansion and seize its beautiful women.

• Lin Feng inferred that the Ling Ku City Lord wanted valuable spirit pill formulas and criticized his arrogance.
• Su Yun tried to appease the City Lord’s Mansion elders, but they demanded Lin Feng’s cultivation be crippled and that he kowtow.
• Lin Feng struck down the two elders, took their storage bags, and killed them by draining their life force.

• Lin Feng emerged from a cave more than twenty thousand li north of Ling Ku City with lipstick marks on his face and neck.

After restoring his strength and reaching the third layer of the He Tian Realm, Lin Feng traveled to Kong Tian City ahead of its auction. He entered the bustling city and sensed a powerful lightning-attributed expert in its center.

• Lin Feng sealed the cave where he had left three women and set out for Kong Tian City, while Xiao Ling remained confined inside his body for secretly consuming resources meant for Little Nine.

Lin Feng hired Xiao Rong to guide him to the Righteous Thunder Sect’s trading convention and learned that he needed to have a trade item appraised to receive an invitation. At the venue, he presented two Low-grade Spirit Pills for appraisal, and the appraiser began registering the first pill’s effects.

He then asked Xiao Rong to take him to Lu Cai Pavilion to buy talisman-making materials, especially high-grade fire- and lightning-attributed treasures.

• Lin Feng explained that the Bodhi Pill could help peak Ying Tian Realm cultivators reach a Half-step He Tian state, and the old man reacted with intense interest.

• Lin Feng asked Xiao Rong to find a shop with a broad selection of talisman-making materials and high-grade fire- and lightning-attributed treasures.
• Xiao Rong recommended Lu Cai Pavilion, whose Kong Tian City branch reportedly stocked materials up to sixth grade, and Lin Feng told her to point out the way.

Lin Feng took Xiao Rong to Lu Cai Pavilion to buy talisman materials, learning that access to its higher floors depended on cumulative spending. After purchasing enough materials to qualify, he entered the second floor and bought more, leaving the story as he headed for the third floor.

• Xiao Rong guided Lin Feng to Lu Cai Pavilion and explained that each floor beyond the first required ten times the cumulative spending.

• Lin Feng bought large quantities of Second-grade and third-grade materials, reaching the one-hundred-thousand-drop spending requirement for the second floor.
• Lin Feng showed his green points card to the guards and entered the second floor with Xiao Rong.
• Lin Feng bought more talisman materials on the second floor and headed toward the third floor with Xiao Rong.

Lin Feng studied talismans and tried to turn the Void Suppressing Seal into one, succeeding after his first attempt exploded. Little Ling and Little Nine also experimented, but their talismans failed and they kept trying.

• Lin Feng bought talisman materials and reference talismans, tipped Xiao Rong, and rented a superior guest room.

Lin Feng prepared materials for the upcoming trade fair, then traveled to the Righteous Thunder Sect’s venue and rented a Grade A stall. He entered the crowded hall and headed toward its small auction area, leaving his stall unprepared as he began surveying the goods.

• Lin Feng fused two Ninth-grade Beast Flames while preparing trade goods for the fair.
• Lin Feng brought Xiao Ling and Little Nine to the trade fair venue in Kong Tian City and presented his invitation at the entrance.

• Lin Feng examined the vendors’ goods and recognized the colorful crystals as Beast Cores from Origin Beasts.

Lin Feng consigned two Spirit Pills at the trade fair and learned about a Withered Root of Jade Spirit Wood that could greatly benefit cultivators. After hearing that its mature fruit could raise an early-stage He Tian Realm cultivator by at least one star, he became interested in the stall’s prized root.

• Lin Feng consigned a Yi Shi Dan and a Bodhi Pill, requesting cultivation-boosting treasures, preferably fire-attributed ones, or spiritual liquid in exchange.
