• Feng Jun entered the Phone Plane and discussed selling his forty thousand tons of rice with Huangfu Wuxia, who complained that the quantity was too small.

• Huangfu Wuxia asked Feng Jun whether he was worried she would investigate his Space Gate.

Feng Jun uncovered a spy among Huangfu Wuxia’s candidates and secured a shipment of Graphene, then limited its Blue Star sale to encourage practical use. Huahua returned to Luohua Manor with a powerful snake, and Feng Jun wondered whether it counted as spoils of war.

• Huahua returned to Luohua Manor carrying a Third Layer Qi Refining Bamboo-Green King Snake, and Feng Jun asked whether it counted as spoils of war.

After the Small World trial, Feng Jun arranged how Luo Hua Manor would distribute the prey and discussed new business with Red Sister and Zhang Caixin. The next day, Yang Yuxin agreed to help buy reserve grain and arrange communications training, leaving Feng Jun pleased with her decisiveness.

• Red Sister told Zhang Caixin she suspected her hostility toward Yu Qingzhu came from jealousy, prompting Zhang Caixin to storm off to cultivate.
• On the road to Yang City, Yang Yuxin agreed to help Feng Jun purchase rotating reserve grain and arrange training from two communications experts.

After Yang Yuxin and the others returned, Red Sister arranged how to distribute the prey while Yang Yuxin handled the Graphene payment and preparations for the communications training. Feng Jun moved the training to Luo Hua and brought Red Sister to the Phone Plane, where she planned to cultivate until reaching Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence.

• Red Sister gathered the returning group in the rear courtyard and announced the prey distribution, while Yang Yuxin told Gazi to follow Wei Hong’s arrangements and ask Feng Jun privately if needed.

The chapter ended with Feng Jun rebuking the sect’s trainees for relaying Baili Adept’s request to meet him rather than having the visitor approach him directly.

• Mi Yunshan advanced to the Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence, prompting Feng Jun to reopen Pacify Arms Mountain’s High-Stage Emergence Spirit-Gathering Formation.

• A Yin Sha Sect disciple told Feng Jun that Baili Adept had gone to Tiantong to negotiate with Tiantong over air conditioners and refrigerators, despite Dragon Wanderer’s claim that Feng Jun had promised to deal only with him.
• Feng Jun decided he would honor his promise to Dragon Wanderer and was reluctant to forfeit the deposit on fifty thousand appliances, but waited to see what Baili Adept would do.
• Feng Jun summoned Huangfu Wuxia’s seven trainees, and their leader reported that Baili Adept wanted to meet him; Feng Jun rebuked them for passing along the message instead of having Baili Adept contact him directly.

Feng Jun refused Adept Baili’s attempt to negotiate for the Yin Sha Sect, insisting that he would deal only with Dragon Wanderer, while Huangfu Wuxia warned him to leave room for compromise.

• Feng Jun summoned Shen Qingyi to the new housing area, where she saw five Qi Refining Stage cultivators and two Martial Masters gathered before him.
• Feng Jun told Shen Qingyi not to reveal that she came from Jade Ruins and authorized her to stop anyone who crossed the White Line, promising to bear the consequences.
• Yang Yuxin helped arrange the training subjects and experts, while Gazi left on rotating leave after Feng Jun gave him a Foundation-Nourishing Pill for his family.
• A Second Layer Qi Refining cultivator reported that a young instructor had cursed a trainee and questioned his origins despite being warned not to.
• Feng Jun brought the accused instructor forward, confirmed the accusation, and heard him defend his insult while demanding to leave the training site.

Feng Jun dealt with a recruit who broke the manor’s rules while Yang Yuxin returned from visiting her family and learned of the incident. Elder Yu tried to approach the new guests but was turned away, then heard that Mei Jin had advanced her cultivation.

• Feng Jun had Gao Qiang take the rule-breaking recruit away, and Yang Yuxin flew into a rage when she learned the man she had recruited had caused trouble.
• Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui agreed that Gu Jiahui would enroll in university to satisfy her family, while Yang Yuxin left most of the Spirit Beast meat stored away because her relatives did not yet trust Feng Jun.
• Feng Jun knocked the recruit unconscious and sent him into the city with the Light-Yin Shuttle so outsiders would not learn who had visited the manor.
• Elder Yu tried to cross the white-line boundary to see the new guests, but Gao Qiang warned him away and Shen Qingyi stood behind him, prompting him to leave.
• Elder Yu later learned that Mei Jin had advanced from the fifth level to the sixth, and Li Shishi urged her to celebrate as the manor’s second-highest cultivator after Zhang Caixin.

Feng Jun transported a hundred thousand tons of wheat to the Phone Plane while Elder Yu watched Luohua Manor’s strange operations and worried about sensitive trade. As Feng Jun turned his attention to buying Lithium Batteries for Zhang Caixin, Elder Yu questioned him about their intended use and whether he could get them through customs from abroad.

• Teacher Mei accepted Good Scenery’s invitation to celebrate her cultivation progress, and Good Scenery served prey from the Cinnabar Cloud Heaven Small World to her guests.
• Elder Yu ordered his secretary to hide satellite trackers in some of Little Zhu’s appliance orders, but he rejected adding trackers to the wheat.
• Feng Jun transported more than ten thousand tons of wheat to the Phone Plane each night, moving a hundred thousand tons in seven days as Elder Yu watched the warehouse repeatedly empty.
• Red Sister let Feng Jun pay for the grain after learning he had made another five billion, while the first fifty tons of Graphene sold out and buyers sought a second batch.
• Zhang Caixin struggled to buy controlled Lithium Batteries, so Wang Haifeng suggested a tender, but the bidders’ prices were exorbitant.
• Elder Yu asked Feng Jun what he needed Lithium Batteries for, and Feng Jun said he would buy them abroad if domestic restrictions made buying them impossible.

Feng Jun kept a low profile after delivering grain and graphene, then returned to Pacify Arms Mountain and denied Baili Adept access to the Spirit-Gathering Formation. When Baili Adept tried to seize Ji Ping'an’s caravan at the Red Phoenix Sect, warnings about Black Luan forced him to back down.

• Elder Yu tried to learn whether Feng Jun planned to obtain lithium batteries abroad, but Feng Jun left without revealing his plans.
• Feng Jun declined to take Good Scenery and Red Sister to the Phone World because Teacher Mei’s sudden cultivation progress could alarm Mi Yunshan.

• Feng Jun refused Baili Adept’s request to cultivate in the Spirit-Gathering Formation.
• Baili Adept’s disciples tried to stop Ji Ping'an’s caravan, so Ji Ping'an and his people took refuge in the Red Phoenix Sect’s Blessing Courtyard.

Baili Adept confronted Pacify Arms Mountain after Feng Jun refused to meet him, but Lu Wanfeng of the Supreme Clarity Sect arrived and questioned his conduct. Feng Jun invited Lu Wanfeng to Tiantong's Blessing Courtyard, where Lu Wanfeng apologized for Hong Bafang's earlier behavior, leaving Feng Jun expecting a qualification to follow.

• Baili Adept threatened to force his way into Pacify Arms Mountain after waiting twenty days for Feng Jun.
• Lu Wanfeng arrived and challenged Baili Adept's treatment of Pacify Arms Mountain, asking why Dragon Wanderer could not explain the dispute.
• Feng Jun emerged from seclusion, disputed Baili Adept's claim that he had been made to wait, and asked Lu Wanfeng to meet at Tiantong's Blessing Courtyard.
• Lu Wanfeng introduced himself as a disciple of True Adept Sumiao, and Baili Adept recognized him.
• Lu Wanfeng apologized to Feng Jun for Hong Bafang's conduct, while Feng Jun anticipated that Lu Wanfeng would qualify his apology.

Feng Jun refused Lu Wanfeng’s invitation to visit Supreme Clarity, explaining that he was occupied with Earth Vein research and studying how ordinary goods could help cultivators. Their conversation about the Mortal World and Feng Jun’s past left Lu Wanfeng more convinced that Feng Jun had a powerful and mysterious sect behind him.

• Feng Jun told Lu Wanfeng that he had entrusted the Hong Bafang matter to Luo Shuchen and would not discuss the Mirage King Bracer.
• Feng Jun said he was researching the Earth Vein Enhancement Art, and Huangfu Wuxia confirmed that he had been studying it.
• Lu Wanfeng invited Feng Jun to Supreme Clarity, but Feng Jun declined because he could not spare time for three to five years.
• Feng Jun explained that he was studying how ordinary things could assist cultivators and said he had witnessed the hardships of a Dharma-Ending Plane.
• Huangfu Wuxia mentioned the phrase “When Flowers Fall, I Meet You Again,” prompting Lu Wanfeng to question Feng Jun’s identity and suspect he belonged to a powerful sect.

Feng Jun refused to visit the Supreme Clarity Sect after hinting to Huangfu Wuxia that one of its Golden Core cultivators was unwell. Back on the Blue Star Plane, he faced grain price disputes, stalled business with the Yin Sha Sect, and supply problems before Elder Yu asked for more Graphene.

• Lu Wanfeng left Pacify Arms Mountain after offering Feng Jun three days to reconsider joining the Supreme Clarity Sect.
• Feng Jun told Huangfu Wuxia he feared entering the Supreme Clarity Sect because a Golden Core cultivator there might be unwell, and she guessed the cultivator was Sumiao.
• Feng Jun stayed in seclusion until Lu Wanfeng and the waiting Baili Adept departed, while Huangfu Wuxia asked for five hundred thousand tons of grain and complained that the latest wheat was lower quality.
• Feng Jun refused to negotiate the grain price and decided to hold back his remaining Graphene while planning to restock Floral Dew Water.
• Feng Jun found that bulk deliveries of air conditioners and refrigerators had piled up as his Yin Sha Sect business stalled, and he told Zhang Caixin to buy Lithium Batteries piecemeal.
• Elder Yu asked when more Graphene would arrive, and Feng Jun said there would be none in the short term.

Feng Jun refused to supply more Graphene until Elder Yu could arrange lithium batteries, rejecting Elder Yu’s plan to use his material to undercut foreign competitors. As Feng Jun continued stockpiling goods at the estate, the locator signals suddenly disappeared.

• Feng Jun told Elder Yu he would stop providing Graphene for six months and rejected his arguments that he should continue supplying it for the country’s benefit.
• Elder Yu explained that he wanted to use large quantities of Graphene to crush foreign competitors, but Feng Jun refused to support the plan and demanded two thousand battery sets before supplying another fifty tons.
• Elder Yu asked his secretary to check the satellite locator, and the secretary reported that its signal was still inside the estate.
• Feng Jun had Red Sister contact grain groups overseas while appliances, Floral Dew Water, and Boiler Engines continued arriving at the estate.
• Elder Yu grew anxious as Feng Jun left the goods in place, then learned at dawn that all locator signals had disappeared.

Feng Jun secretly removed the tracked appliances from Luohua Warehouse, leaving Elder Yu and the security personnel wondering how he had done it. Meanwhile, Zhang Caixin and Feng Jun arranged a lithium-battery deal, but the security personnel grew suspicious when the promised bidding process still did not begin.

• A monitoring employee woke to find more than twenty appliance signals had vanished and was suspended for dereliction of duty.
• Elder Yu questioned his secretary about how Feng Jun had removed the appliances, but neither could explain where they had gone.
• Elder Yu learned Zhang Caixin had gone out to address restrictions on her lithium-battery purchases.
• The security personnel told the fire department to proceed with the warehouse plan and urged it to collect the deposit soon.
• Zhang Caixin chose a lithium-battery manufacturer that offered customization and to waive the deposit, then Feng Jun secretly took her to negotiate with it.
• Feng Jun and Zhang Caixin returned to Luohua Manor that night without the security personnel or Elder Yu's group noticing, but the security personnel later wondered why the bidding had not begun.

Zhang Caixin, Mei Jin, and Gazi delivered 120 million yuan in cash for Luo Hua’s battery order, while Feng Jun drove separately toward his hometown to distract Elder Yu’s watchers. At the exchange, Gazi and Gao Qiang demonstrated their strength, and the company president reluctantly arranged for his team to verify the goods.

• The battery manufacturer completed 500 customized battery sets and requested an initial payment before producing the remaining 1,500.
• Feng Jun sent Gao Qiang, Zhang Caixin, Mei Jin, and Gazi in a coach with 120 million yuan in cash, then drove separately with Yang Yuxin and Tang Wenji to draw Elder Yu’s watchers away.
• Gao Qiang and his group met the manufacturer’s president and staff beyond Funiu Prefecture and exchanged cash for the first battery shipment and deposits.
• Gazi uprooted a small tree to demonstrate his strength, and Gao Qiang beat the company’s skilled martial artist in three rounds of Push Hands.
• Mei Jin refused to inspect the batteries, insisting that Luo Hua trusted the company, until the anxious president ordered his staff to check the goods themselves.
