Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun interrogated Luo Hao about the formations and Rimu factory, but Luo Hao used his diabetes to trigger a fatal reaction and died before revealing the Overseas Wanderers Society’s list. Feng Jun destroyed the Child-Mother Yin-Yang Formation and left with Good Scenery, while the factory’s discovery of buried bones and Luo Hao’s death brought the authorities into the case.

• Feng Jun questioned Luo Hao about the Child-Mother Yin-Yang Formation, the Offering-Nurtured True Formation, and how Rimu’s factory location had been chosen.
• Mi Yunshan brought food, and Luo Hao ate noodles and fish before continuing to argue that his factory’s main purpose was business.
• Luo Hao revealed that the meal had raised his blood sugar and triggered a fatal reaction, then refused to disclose the Overseas Wanderers Society’s list.
• Luo Hao collapsed and died, and Feng Jun decided to leave his body in his residence rather than risk making his death look like a murder.
• Feng Jun and Good Scenery destroyed the Child-Mother Yin-Yang Formation, exposed bones in a burial pit with a Falling Thunder Technique, and left with the group.
• After dawn, workers found the pit and bones at the Rimu factory and reported them, while constables also discovered that Luo Hao had died in his residence.

After Luo Hao’s death, Feng Jun and his companions left Rimu Factory as constables confronted the discovery of missing trees and buried remains. Elder Yu urged Feng Jun to stop causing disturbances, but Feng Jun later reported another burial pit near the factory, prompting Elder Yu to alert Ming City’s authorities.

• Feng Jun told Elder Yu he had arrived near Rimu Factory and believed another burial pit was nearby.
• Elder Yu alerted Ming City’s authorities and instructed them to say a survivor had reported three burial pits.

After the Rimu Group crisis, Feng Jun returned to Yang City and continued treating Elder Yu, who insisted he needed more massages despite Feng Jun believing he was fully recovered. Feng Jun planned to leave for Hengzhou, while Elder Yu suspected his involvement in the disappearances and challenged him about his business and taxes.

• Ming City dug up a third burial pit, and the Rimu Group matter was allowed to pass without deeper investigation.
• Feng Jun returned to Yang City and massaged Elder Yu for two more days, though the healthcare doctor had also learned the technique.
• Elder Yu asked Feng Jun about Jieke Mo and Xiangxue's disappearances, but Feng Jun denied knowing what he meant.
• Elder Yu insisted he was not recovered and demanded that Feng Jun continue treating him, so Feng Jun arranged for him to stay at the manor for another month.
• Feng Jun told Elder Yu he was leaving for Hengzhou on business, and Elder Yu questioned whether he planned another killing spree.
• Elder Yu accused Feng Jun of evading taxes on his jade house, and Feng Jun replied that he could not explain the jade's source to the tax authorities.

Elder Yu negotiated permission to visit Feng Jun’s Bamboo Forest and considered whether Feng Jun’s abilities justified an exception to his opposition to supernatural forces. Feng Jun left for Star Luo, and Elder Yu entered the Bamboo Forest with his healthcare doctor as his sole companion.

• Elder Yu asked Feng Jun to let him visit the Bamboo Forest, and Feng Jun agreed to allow up to four hours a day with one companion and no inspections.

• Feng Jun traveled to Star Luo with Gao Qiang and Li Shishi to buy perfume, leaving Zhang Caixin in charge of the estate.
• Elder Yu entered the Bamboo Forest with his healthcare doctor and praised the place, while Xu Leigang reminded him to keep his voice down because it was where they cultivated.

Elder Yu learned that several Overseas Wanderers Society members had died or disappeared after Feng Jun’s retaliation, and he summoned Feng Jun to warn him about the risks. Feng Jun denied involvement in the Rimu Company allegations but was told to stay home while the authorities held off on investigating him.

• Elder Yu brought Yu Qingzhu to the Bamboo Forest, where he napped and praised Feng Jun’s abilities.
• Elder Yu learned that a Mud merchant and his family had died in a car accident and that another merchant and his assistant had disappeared; his watchers linked both incidents to the Overseas Wanderers Society.
• Feng Jun left Sprout City for Star Luo, spent four days there with Li Shishi and Gao Qiang, and returned to Xia Nation through Hengzhou.
• The personal secretary told Feng Jun that four Overseas Wanderers Society members had died or disappeared and that the society had accused him of seeking Rimu Company’s production technology.
• Feng Jun rejected the accusation, and the personal secretary advised him to stay home because continued retaliation could provoke unpredictable risks.

Feng Jun arranged Luohua’s team for the second Cinnabar Cloud Heaven trial while refusing Shen Qingyi’s request to join them. As the group prepared to leave, Feng Jun stayed behind to receive Jade Ruins representatives bringing damaged magical artifacts.

• Elder Yu told Feng Jun that he could not leave the country, while the life secretary had no new information about Ito.
• Feng Jun selected Gazi, Gu Jiahui, Yang Yuxin, Xu Leigang, and Wang Haifeng for Luohua’s five trial slots, with Huahua accompanying them.
• Shen Qingyi asked Feng Jun to let her join the trip through Jade Ruins, but he refused because Luohua needed her and Gao Qiang to defend the manor.
• Feng Jun sent the team ahead to help Cinnabar Cloud Heaven prepare the Secret Realm and have Huahua bring two Spirit Stones to activate it.
• Feng Jun stayed at Luohua to receive Jade Ruins representatives, who were bringing three damaged magical artifacts.

Feng Jun negotiated with Shen Qingyi over Jade Ruins' damaged magical artifacts, choosing to keep the Soul-Seizing Pearl and Ice Silkworm Robe while Jade Ruins reclaimed the Immortal Ascension Mirror. Jade Ruins also traded information on the Overseas Wanderers Society for the robe, and the list gave Feng Jun a chance to pursue Luo Yong.

• Yu Baiyi led Jade Ruins' delegation but stayed outside Luohua Manor, while Yu Zhiyuan met with Feng Jun and Shen Qingyi.
• Shen Qingyi presented three damaged artifacts, and Feng Jun chose the Soul-Seizing Pearl over the Ice Silkworm Robe to strengthen Luo Hua's offensive power.
• Feng Jun clarified that Jade Ruins could reclaim the Immortal Ascension Mirror while he kept the other two artifacts, though Jade Ruins offered a reward for the Ice Silkworm Robe.
• Jade Ruins offered information on about thirty overseas members of the Overseas Wanderers Society in exchange for the Ice Silkworm Robe, and Feng Jun accepted the list as valuable.
• Feng Jun found Luo Yong's name in the information and looked forward to dealing with him, while Shen Qingyi asked whether the Ice Silkworm Robe could be repaired.

Feng Jun gathered several cultivators to assess five damaged magical artifacts, prompting a disagreement between Leng Qionghua and Huangfu Wuxia over which items could be repaired. The chapter ended with Leng Qionghua challenging Huangfu Wuxia’s judgment about the Yin-Yang Mirror.

• Feng Jun returned to the Phone Plane, replenished his goods and spiritual energy, and told Huangfu Wuxia that the perfume had arrived.
• Huangfu Wuxia asked Feng Jun to arrange more communications training after a Pine-Cypress Peak technician was killed by a cultivator.

• Luo Shuchen arrived at Tiantong’s Blessing Courtyard, where Feng Jun presented five damaged magical artifacts for inspection.
• Leng Qionghua offered to repair the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda and Yin-Yang Mirror for free but dismissed the other artifacts, while Huangfu Wuxia gave a different assessment.
• Leng Qionghua challenged Huangfu Wuxia after she said repairing the Yin-Yang Mirror would be very difficult.

Feng Jun put away the mysterious Yin-Yang Mirror after Huangfu Wuxia warned that repairing it required a True Adept, and he assigned the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda to Leng Qionghua. After the gathered adepts shared a meal, Master Yan asked Feng Jun to let him take Yun Buyao as a disciple.

• Huangfu Wuxia said a True Adept would need to act on the Yin-Yang Mirror, and Feng Jun put it away rather than have it repaired for now.
• Feng Jun gave Leng Qionghua the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda to repair and asked Huangfu Wuxia about repairing the other damaged artifacts.
• Luo Shuchen offered to repair the three remaining magical artifacts for free, citing Feng Jun's Talent-Recruiting Token from the Heavenly Heart Sect.
• Master Yan arrived, and Huangfu Wuxia hosted a lavish late-night meal for the gathered adepts.
• Master Yan told Feng Jun he admired him and asked to take Yun Buyao as a disciple.

Master Yan asked Feng Jun to let Yun Buyao join Carefree Platform, but Yun Buyao chose to stay at Pacify Arms Mountain. After Luo Shuchen agreed to repair the damaged artifacts and provide a replacement Immortal Ascension Mirror, he went with Feng Jun to use the Spirit-Gathering Formation.

• Master Yan explained that Yun Buyao had exceptional aptitude and proposed taking her into Carefree Platform, offering to replace the cultivation technique Feng Jun had bought for her.
• Feng Jun called Yun Buyao and let her choose whether to leave for Carefree Platform; she declined, saying she would not forget that Feng Jun had taken her in.
• Master Yan accepted Yun Buyao's choice and gave her two Spirit Stones, which she accepted after Feng Jun encouraged her to do so.
• Luo Shuchen promised to repair three damaged magical artifacts for free and agreed to repair the worn Immortal Ascension Mirror while supplying a new one.
• Luo Shuchen asked to recover in Feng Jun's Spirit-Gathering Formation, and Feng Jun agreed before leaving with him and Yun Buyao.

Feng Jun discussed Heavenheart Platform’s interest in his Spirit Plant Shepherd and Luo Shuchen’s promise to repair his artifacts, then heard how Liang Zhongyu’s group had expanded into Boiler Engine sales and repairs. Huangfu Wuxia demanded that the group stop selling perfume beyond Qiuchen Market, and Liang Zhongyu refused to accept her protection.

• Leng Qionghua and Huangfu Wuxia discussed the strange, damaged mirror Feng Jun had shown them, while Xu the Adept said it could simply be bought with Spirit Stones.
• Luo Shuchen asked Feng Jun whether Heavenheart Platform could borrow his Spirit Plant Shepherd to treat a patient, and Feng Jun insisted the patient come to Pacify Arms Mountain instead.
• Feng Jun refused to claim he could cure the Seven Great Poisons, and Luo Shuchen promised to repair Feng Jun’s three magical artifacts before discussing a favor.
• Liang Zhongyu returned with Zhou Linghai and their partners to restock after selling their Boiler Engines and most of their perfume, and told Feng Jun their new shop also handled repairs.
• Huangfu Wuxia asked Feng Jun to stop his comrades from selling perfume, then demanded they restrict their business to Qiuchen Market.
• Liang Zhongyu told Huangfu Wuxia that the group would accept responsibility for its own safety outside Qiuchen Market.

• Huangfu Wuxia and Liang Zhongyu settled their dispute after Feng Jun suggested combining Tiantong’s sales network with Liang Zhongyu’s after-sales service alliance.
• Myriad Blessings Platform sent a delegation to thank Feng Jun for curing its Black Tortoise, bringing gifts and a Talisman Overview that Feng Jun accepted.
• Feng Jun exchanged walkie-talkies and Boiler Engines for the gifts, and Myriad Blessings Platform later requested ten infrared telescopes before leaving Pacify Arms Mountain.
• Liang Zhongyu warned Feng Jun that Myriad Blessings Platform might have arrived with plans to pressure him, but Feng Jun chose not to worry about it.
• Lang Zhen struggled over whether to pursue cultivation himself or seek an opportunity for his daughter, Lang Damei, whose marriage to Mu Fengtang was being discussed.
• Xu the Adept called Lang Zhen and asked him to arrange for Feng Jun to treat a patient.

Feng Jun agreed to examine Chu Zhongtian, a young Gu Cultivator whose family wanted his Birth Gu removed, but Elder Liao refused to help on principle. Feng Jun took the Chu family party away from Tiantong, leaving Chu Zhongtian’s treatment unresolved.

• Xu the Adept explained that the Chu Family wanted Feng Jun to remove Chu Zhongtian’s Birth Gu and offered ten thousand Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun summoned Elder Liao and asked whether he could remove Chu Zhongtian’s Birth Gu.
• Elder Liao refused because Chu Zhongtian had committed no wrong as a Gu Cultivator, and he defended Gu Cultivators against Xu the Adept’s criticism.
• Xu the Adept told Feng Jun that the Chu family party was waiting in Tiantong’s courtyard.
• Feng Jun carried the four Chu Family members, with Chu Zhongtian inside a Spirit Beast Bag, away on the Light-Yin Shuttle.
• After Feng Jun left, Xu the Adept turned and was startled to find Huangfu Wuxia standing behind him.

Feng Jun and Huahua discovered that Chu Zhongtian had been used to raise a gu insect by an Early Emergence from Dust Gu Cultivator, then worked to remove it. The gu was finally drawn out, but Chu Zhongtian fainted during the painful extraction, leaving Feng Jun to ensure he survived losing his natal gu.

• Feng Jun agreed to remove Chu Zhongtian's natal gu and negotiated a payment of twelve thousand Spirit Stones from Chu Miao.
• Huahua examined Chu Zhongtian and found that his gu insect bore another Gu Cultivator's mark.
• Feng Jun told Chu Miao that the Gu Cultivator was probably at Early Emergence from Dust, and Chu Miao asked him to preserve the mark so the Chu Family could confront the culprit.
• Feng Jun and Huahua spent two days and nights drawing the gu insect toward Chu Zhongtian's left palm.
• Feng Jun cut away part of Chu Zhongtian's palm to free the green centipede, and Chu Zhongtian fainted from the pain.

After Feng Jun helped Chu Zhongtian survive the removal and sealing of his life-bound Gu, the Chu Family placed a bounty on the Gu Cultivator who had targeted him. News of the bounty spread, and the Ning Family of Springwatch Valley moved to investigate who had treated Chu Zhongtian.

• Feng Jun confronted Liao Da about the Gu Cultivator who had planted the imprint, and Liao Da identified the culprit’s school as Blood Gu Combat.
• After five days of recovery, Chu Zhongtian had his Gu insect sealed in a glass box, severing their connection and leaving him with mental damage.
• Chu Miao took the centipede Gu insect, while Feng Jun warned Huahua that its imprint came from a powerful Gu Cultivator.
• Feng Jun asked Huahua to help with another Gu insect, but she complained about facing powerful enemies again.
• The Chu Family offered ten thousand Spirit Stones through the Tiantong Merchant Alliance for the mastermind’s capture.
• The Ning Family of Springwatch Valley decided to pursue the bounty and first sought to learn who had cured Chu Zhongtian.

The Ning Family hired Feng Jun to examine Ning Jianlin, whose House Centipede Gu bore an imprint, and debated whether to risk raising him for a chance to defeat the Gu Cultivator who marked him. After Huahua drew out the Gu, Elder Liao offered to help capture Gu insects for a fee, claiming Feng Jun’s control gave him an excuse to act.

• The Ning Family learned Feng Jun had cured the Chu Family’s Gu Cultivator and brought Ning Jianlin to him for examination.
• Feng Jun confirmed that an imprint was on Ning Jianlin’s Gu, prompting the Ning Family to argue over whether to expel it or raise Ning Jianlin to fight its owner.
• The Ning Family chose to draw out the Gu first, and Feng Jun fetched Huahua to lure the House Centipede Gu from Ning Jianlin over three days.
• The Ning Family sealed the House Centipede Gu and traced its imprint, while Ning Jianlin’s cultivation fell only to the Qi Condensation Initial Stage.
• Feng Jun gave Huahua two thousand Spirit Stones, and Huahua left without taking the House Centipede Gu because it feared the imprint.
• Elder Liao approached Feng Jun and offered to capture Gu insects for a higher fee, saying Feng Jun’s control let him claim he was acting under orders.

Feng Jun hired Elder Liao for two thousand Spirit Stones, while the Ning family tracked down the Gu Cultivators connected to Ning Jianlin and discovered that Red Spider Adept was far stronger than expected. Unable to recruit a Golden Core cultivator to deal with Red Spider, the Ning family considered asking Feng Jun for help.

• Feng Jun and Elder Liao agreed that Elder Liao would make a move for two thousand Spirit Stones, turning the arrangement into a shared business.
• The Ning family traced the imprint on Ning Jianlin’s house centipede Gu to Red Spider Adept and learned that Hao Bin had lured Liang Zhongyu into raising Gu.
• The Ning family cornered Hao Bin, but he used a Blazing Flame Array Disc to kill himself; they still submitted his aura to the Tiantong Merchant Alliance and collected the bounty.
• Four Ning family Emergence from Dust Adepts tried to capture Red Spider, but discovered he had reached the Seventh Layer, and he broke through their encirclement while injuring one of them.
• Red Spider threatened the Ning family, whose members decided to seek Golden Core help but could not persuade any True Adept to act.
• A Ning family member suggested asking Feng Mountain Lord of Pacify Arms Mountain to deal with Red Spider.

The Ning Family asked Feng Jun to persuade Busheng the Real Person to deal with Red Spider, offering him a valuable Blessing Courtyard in return. Feng Jun agreed to buy the courtyard at a favorable price and try to help, but made clear he could not promise success.

• Ning Zhiyuan and another Ning Family Adept asked Feng Jun to approach Busheng the Real Person about Red Spider’s abuse of Gu cultivation.
• Feng Jun considered the request because Red Spider posed a danger, but objected when a Ning Family Adept suggested that Feng Jun himself was at risk for saving Ning Jianlin.
• Ning Zhiyuan offered Feng Jun a Blessing Courtyard as a token of the Ning Family’s sincerity.
• Feng Jun offered another fifty thousand Spirit Stones for the courtyard, counting Ning Jianlin’s unpaid treatment fee, and agreed to try persuading Busheng the Real Person.
• The Ning Family declined to take more than the courtyard’s fair value, and Feng Jun admitted he could not guarantee Busheng’s help because he had no current plans to join Heavenheart Platform.

Feng Jun arranged for Luo Shuchen to pass a message to Busheng the Real Person on the Ning Family’s behalf, and Busheng killed Red Spider Adept. The Ning Family publicized Red Spider’s death, then faced a Half-Step Golden Core Gu Cultivator seeking Red Spider’s secret art, who left after learning Busheng had intervened.

• Feng Jun agreed with the Ning Family that he would pay a total of twenty-four thousand Spirit Stones for Blessing Courtyard, and Luo Shuchen offered to pass a message to Busheng the Real Person.
• Feng Jun told the Ning Family to contact Busheng proactively, but his disciple refused them a meeting and returned Red Spider Adept’s corpse, explaining that Busheng had killed him.
• The Ning Family thanked Heavenheart Platform and announced that Red Spider had died for raising Gu using their descendants, prompting Gu Cultivators to learn that his death had disturbed many Imprint Gu.
• A powerful Gu Cultivator came to inspect Red Spider’s corpse and asked the Ning Family for his secret art, but left after they said Busheng had acted and they had obtained nothing.
• The Ning Family realized their visitor had been a Half-Step Golden Core Gu Cultivator and credited Feng Jun with helping them avoid a dangerous confrontation.

Feng Jun and Huangfu Wuxia met Black Luan and Luo Lieyang, who wanted to buy powerful Boiler Engines for Thunder Plains cultivators. Feng Jun said he could not supply the extreme current they needed, and Black Luan asked him to reveal the engines’ manufacturing process for Bai Luan’s sake.

• The Ning Family refused Feng Jun’s payment for his help, but he insisted their original agreement required them to accept it.
• Black Luan arrived at Tiantong with Luo Lieyang and asked to deal directly with Feng Jun about Pacify Arms Mountain’s Boiler Engines.
• Luo Lieyang explained that Thunder Plains wanted engines with far more electrical power for cultivation, potentially enough to aid Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators.
• Feng Jun said he could increase the current only fifty or sixty times and refused to promise the thousandfold or greater power they requested.
• Black Luan asked Feng Jun to disclose the Boiler Engine’s manufacturing process because he had a good relationship with Bai Luan.
