• Medusa warned Lin Feng that using the Soul Devouring Pill to break through had shortened his lifespan, and he reassured her with his cultivation plans and an Azure Nether Longevity Pill.
• Over the next month, Lin Feng studied the Fen Jue and the materials left by Han Feng and Yao Chen while monitoring the growing conflict between Jia Nan Academy and the Black Corner Region factions.
• Medusa brought Lin Feng the Medicinal Herbs he needed, and he entered the alchemy room to prepare a Soul Fusion Pill and pills to improve his body and talent after recultivation.
• Lin Feng used his Myriad Beast Cauldron to refine the pills, then decided to postpone awakening Heavenly Fire Venerable because he feared the Venerable might covet the Fen Jue and his Heavenly Flames.
• Lin Feng took out the scroll titled "Fen Jue: Complete Version."

Lin Feng replaced the Heavenly Sun Flame Transformation Technique with Fen Jue, losing most of his cultivation and settling at Four-Star Great Dou Master. After taking pills to strengthen his body and foundation, he began using Fen Jue to refine the Blazing Horned Lizard’s Beast Fire, but the flame had only traveled four-fifths of the meridians when a frenzied thought arose in his mind.

• Lin Feng switched his cultivation route to Fen Jue and watched his strength fall from Peak Dou Wang to Four-Star Great Dou Master.
• Lin Feng tested Fen Jue’s weak Dou Qi and decided to take pills to temper his body, stabilize his foundation, and improve his talent.

• Lin Feng protected his meridians with a pill and replenished his Dou Qi, but as the Beast Fire crossed four-fifths of the route, a frenzied thought began to emerge.

Lin Feng devoured the Seventh-tier Blazing Horned Lizard Beast Flame, evolved Fen Jue, and rose to Eight-Star Great Dou Master while planning to rebuild his strength without relying on pills. Zi Yan later told him that the Inner Academy's transparent Heavenly Flame had been protected and that Xiao Yan had taken Han Feng's blue Heavenly Flame.

• Zi Yan visited Lin Feng, wondered why his strength had fallen, and heard him explain that he had started cultivating again from the beginning.

• Zi Yan told Lin Feng that Xiao Yan was absorbing a blue Exotic Flame and had been allowed to remain in the Inner Academy.
