Chapter Summaries

Ji Busheng confronted the Nangong patriarch over the family’s treatment of Feng Jun and demanded Mid Emergence from Dust Adepts, prompting the patriarch to investigate Nangong Youjiu’s role. The Nangong Family halted its pressure on Feng Jun, and two Adepts arrived at Pacify Arms Mountain while the Fu Clan compensated Ji Ping'an’s group for the Blackback Flood Dragon.

• Ji Busheng accused the Nangong Family of provoking Feng Jun and demanded three Mid Emergence from Dust Adepts, agreeing to give the patriarch three days to respond.
• Nangong Youjiu first sent an embellished account of his dispute with Feng Jun, then gave the unvarnished truth after the patriarch threatened to offer him as one of the Adepts.
• The Nangong patriarch learned that Youjiu had also offended Sumiao, ordered the family to abandon its commercial measures against Feng Jun, and arranged to provide Adepts.
• The Nangong patriarch met Ji Busheng at Blackwater Marsh with two Adepts, and Ji counted Nangong Youjiu as the third.
• Two Adepts later arrived at Pacify Arms Mountain with Ji Ping'an, while the Fu Clan paid compensation for seizing the Blackback Flood Dragon and for the death of Ji Ping'an’s comrade.

Ji Ping'an brought Venerable Yang and Fu Venerable to Pacify Arms Mountain, where Feng Jun delayed their experimental work and rejected Nangong Youjiu’s offer to trade Graphene. Fu Venerable later tried to broker a deal, but Nangong Youjiu and Huangfu Wuxia remained at odds over the price.

• Ji Ping'an brought Venerable Yang to Pacify Arms Mountain, while Venerable Yang insisted he had come voluntarily and would not discuss his reasons with Ji Ping'an.
• Feng Jun announced that his experimental conditions were not ready and that the delay could last three months to half a year.
• Nangong Youjiu offered Feng Jun fifty tons of Graphene to improve relations, but Feng Jun refused to do business with the Nangong Family and said he would trade only with the Huangfu Clan.
• Feng Jun allowed Fu Venerable and Venerable Yang to tour Pacify Arms Mountain, but barred them from the area near Blessing Courtyard.
• Fu Venerable told Feng Jun that Nangong Youjiu would trade fifty tons of Graphene for fifty thousand tons of grain, but Feng Jun directed him to Huangfu Wuxia, whose offer of fifty thousand taels of gold Nangong Youjiu had rejected.

Feng Jun navigated the Nangong Family’s graphene deal, arranged paid escort work for three cultivators, and began expanding radio sales in the cultivation world. Master Baili returned with the Yin Sha Sect’s offer to pay for air conditioners and refrigerators with Spirit Stones.

• Feng Jun rejected the Nangong Family’s initial terms and learned why Master Yang had risked his life: he wanted to secure a future for his family before his depleted lifespan ran out.
• Huangfu Wuxia told Feng Jun that Nangong Youjiu offered 260 tons of graphene for 300,000 tons of grain, and Feng Jun left the decision to her while agreeing to sell grain on credit to support the business.
• Feng Jun arranged for Nangong Youjiu, Master Fu, and Master Yang to escort goods for pay, and Ji Ping'an’s group continued growing its trade and promoting radios.
• Feng Jun planned to introduce radio stations through the Pan Clan and told the Red Phoenix Sect disciples to have Bai Luan or a Master discuss a purchase.
• Master Baili returned after hearing that Ji Busheng had intervened for Feng Jun, bringing the Yin Sha Sect’s offer of one Spirit Stone per set of air conditioners and refrigerators.

Baili Adept faced down Rushi Shuiyi after she smashed the Yin Sha Sect's Blessing Courtyard gate, while Feng Jun returned to Blue Star to arrange major purchases. Elder Yu accepted that he could not control Feng Jun, but became alert when he learned Feng Jun was sourcing Lithium Batteries overseas and intrigued when Feng Jun asked about Graphene.

• Baili Adept quoted Feng Jun one Spirit Stone per set for the procurement order and stood ready to fight Rushi Shuiyi after she kicked down the Blessing Courtyard gate.
• Seven adepts mediated between Baili Adept and Rushi Shuiyi, and Feng Jun returned to Blue Star with Red Sister and Good Scenery once the conflict was contained.
• Good Scenery asked Yu Qingzhu to arrange a hundred thousand refrigerators and air conditioners, offering her a five-percent commission if she succeeded.
• Elder Yu told Yu Qingzhu he no longer wanted to oppose Feng Jun and ordered his secretary to watch Feng Jun's overseas Lithium Battery inquiries so foreign goods would not enter Xia Nation.
• Elder Yu advised encouraging purchases from domestic battery makers, then raised his brows when Yu Qingzhu said Feng Jun wanted to know whether he wanted Graphene.

Elder Yu learned that Feng Jun might have another large supply of Graphene, but Feng Jun was away in the city to meet Michael Lei, a prefecture-recruited talent who wanted to buy Feng Jun’s lakeside villa. Feng Jun intended to make clear that he would not sell the house, and the chapter ended as he arrived at a barbecue meeting with Red Sister and the Zhang Caixin sisters.

• Elder Yu asked Yu Qingzhu about Feng Jun’s Graphene and learned that she did not know how much he had.
• Red Sister told Feng Jun that Michael Lei, a talent recruited by Funiu Prefecture, wanted to buy the lakeside villa.
• Feng Jun researched Michael Lei, then agreed to meet him and explain that he would not sell the house.
• Feng Jun went to a barbecue restaurant near the park with Red Sister and the Zhang Caixin sisters to meet Michael Lei and his wife.

Michael Lei and Qian tried to buy Feng Jun’s residence, but Feng Jun refused and Red Sister suggested securing nearby land instead. The discussion shifted to a possible grain-trading venture, where Red Sister challenged Michael Lei’s claim that the price difference would make it difficult to operate.

• Michael Lei offered to raise the purchase price of Feng Jun’s residence to 320 million, but Feng Jun said he did not want to sell it.
• Qian explained that the house was ideally located near her family and workplace, while Feng Jun proposed finding another property for them.
• Red Sister suggested that the city continue its earlier approach of filling a lake to provide Qian with a nearby plot for a custom home.
• Qian promised to persuade Michael Lei to stay in Yang City if the land arrangement was approved.
• Michael Lei asked about Feng Jun’s other businesses, and Red Sister said they were seeking major grain traders for a cash-on-delivery purchase.
• Michael Lei warned that large grain purchases could affect global prices and said the price difference would be hard to explain, but Red Sister argued that such trading was manageable in Ting Country and Ba Country.

Feng Jun declined Michael Lei’s overtures, received a limited new Graphene supply, and considered how to transport bulk wheat purchases from overseas. The chapter left him exploring the possibility of using warehouses in Yaxi Country to simplify procurement.

• Red Sister rejected Michael Lei’s offer to find contacts, and Feng Jun ended their first discussion without agreeing to sell his courtyard.
• Madam Qian’s request led the city to make a one-time exception allowing her to build a villa by filling in part of the park’s lake.
• Feng Jun offered Elder Yu fifty tons of Graphene and warned that he could obtain only about a hundred more tons after that.
• Red Sister arranged an offer for 800,000 tons of Ting Country wheat, and Zhang Weihong asked Feng Jun how to handle the purchase and delivery.
• Feng Jun worried that moving the wheat would require repeated mysterious shipments and suggested buying cargo ships, then asked whether Yaxi Country had domestic warehouses.

Feng Jun delegated the flood of Graphene requests to Zhang Caixin while arranging grain intelligence in Yaxi Country. Zhang Caixin confronted him over others’ cultivation advances, and he reassured her that she had greater potential, leaving her unsure whether he had answered her complaint.

• Feng Jun asked Red Sister to investigate Yaxi Country’s grain depots and secure at least five hundred thousand tons, but local inefficiency slowed her efforts.
• Feng Jun passed pressure from Graphene buyers, including Chao Ying’s request for ten tons, to Zhang Caixin so she could handle inquiries and refuse unsuitable requests.
• Feng Jun visited Zhang Caixin after her meditation and told her to stay polite while turning down people seeking Graphene.
• Zhang Caixin accused Feng Jun of favoring Director Mei and her sister because both had advanced in cultivation.
• Feng Jun said Zhang Caixin was destined to progress farther than them, and she realized he had changed the subject rather than fully addressing her complaint.

Zhang Caixin and Zhang Weihong handled graphene, lithium battery, and grain negotiations while balancing business interests and favors. Feng Jun rejected Yu Qingzhu’s request to oversee graphene distribution, and Red Sister’s blunt response to grain merchants left them unsure how to negotiate.

• Chao Ying asked Zhang Caixin for graphene, and Zhang Caixin approved an allocation of eight tons for the manufacturer she represented.
• Yu Qingzhu challenged Feng Jun over the graphene distribution and asked to help oversee it, but he refused unless Elder Yu spoke to him.
• Zhang Caixin coordinated the graphene distribution, and most of the supply went to suitable recipients despite Yu Qingzhu’s dissatisfaction.
• Zhang Caixin negotiated with lithium battery manufacturers, including producers in Mud Country, while leaving the final decision to Feng Jun.
• Zhang Weihong ended negotiations with Ting Country’s grain representatives after obtaining information about Yaxi Country’s grain reserves.
• Red Sister told the grain merchants that Xia Nation would buy grain at a higher price if needed, leaving them dumbfounded.

Red Sister resumed negotiations with Ting Country’s grain merchants while Feng Jun went to Yaxi Country, where outdated depot information led him to target a grain ship instead. The ship’s disappearance triggered an international search, while Xia Nation’s research vessel was ordered to stay on schedule.

• Red Sister agreed to continue talks with Ting Country’s merchants, and Feng Jun asked her to demand payment in gold and delivery on the high seas.
• Feng Jun vanished with Red Sister’s map of Yaxi Country’s grain depots, prompting Elder Yu and his people to speculate about where he had gone.
• Feng Jun found that Yaxi Country’s depots held too little grain to meet his needs, so he chose to take a grain-carrying ship instead.
• Feng Jun transferred a Maireui Country cargo ship with more than 110,000 tons of wheat and over twenty crew members to the Phone Plane, spending Energy Points in the process.
• The ship’s disappearance sparked an insurance-led search involving Yaxi Country warships, while Xia Nation ordered its research vessel not to delay its voyage.
• Three days later, the cargo ship remained missing, and the search had drawn international attention.

After causing the disappearance of several grain ships near Yaxi Country, Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua and arranged business and construction plans. When Red Sister found another eighty thousand tons of wheat available for pickup, Feng Jun sent Shen Qingyi to help collect it.

• Two more wheat freighters vanished, and a Champa rice freighter was found wrecked with its crew already dead, prompting speculation about sea monsters and secret weapons.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua aboard the Flashstar Boat, where Elder Yu warned him not to provoke a fleet into coming after him.
• Red Sister reported that grain merchants were raising prices and requiring Yaxi Country to arrange its own transport, while Feng Jun told her to keep the Ting Country merchant waiting and get Ren Zhixiang ready to move into nearby construction.
• Feng Jun agreed to order five thousand Lithium Battery sets from Kaiwei instead of ten thousand, limiting the expense while keeping the deal open for the long term.
• During a prolonged rainstorm, Red Sister told Feng Jun that another eighty thousand tons of wheat were available for self-collection, and he assigned Shen Qingyi and others to retrieve it.

Shen Qingyi and her companions transported grain while Gu Jiahui advanced and left for Dragon City, and Zhang Caixin later accompanied Feng Jun to collect a partial delivery of Lithium Batteries from Kaiwei Company. The chapter ended with Zhang Caixin discovering that Feng Jun’s Blessing Courtyard was filled with spiritual energy and could be used for cultivation.

• Shen Qingyi transported fifty thousand tons of wheat into Luo Hua over five nights, and Gu Jiahui advanced to the Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence.
• Elder Yu asked Feng Jun to let Yu Qingzhu cultivate with him, but Feng Jun refused to discuss it and explained that he could not safely go to Dragon City.
• Yang Yuxin took Gu Jiahui to Dragon City, while Elder Yu’s people intervened when four men attacked Li Shishi’s friend near the construction site.
• Zhang Caixin told Feng Jun that Kaiwei Company was delivering two thousand sets of Lithium Batteries first, so Feng Jun joined her to collect them and deliver the payment.
• Feng Jun released the Blessing Courtyard in nearby woods, and Zhang Caixin was surprised by its spiritual energy and asked whether she could cultivate there.

Feng Jun brought Zhang Caixin to his Blessing Courtyard, where she complained that others were catching up to her cultivation and demanded to advance to the Qi Refining Stage. He prepared to support her breakthrough, but the chapter ended with Zhang Caixin meditating in the courtyard as dawn approached.

• Feng Jun showed Zhang Caixin the Blessing Courtyard and explained that its Spirit-Restoring Formation consumed many Spirit Stones.
• Zhang Caixin said her sister, Mei Jin, and Gu Jiahui had all reached the Sixth Layer of Mortal Transcendence, and announced that she would push open the immortal gate.
• Zhang Caixin insisted Feng Jun could help her enter the Qi Refining Stage, and four hours later she said she could barely suppress her aura.
• Feng Jun considered the high cost of helping Zhang Caixin advance in the Traveling Residence and left the courtyard while she bathed.
• Zhang Caixin beckoned Feng Jun back, but he went to work at the warehouse as dawn broke.
• Zhang Caixin dressed, sat in the courtyard, and began meditating.

Zhang Caixin returned from an outing with Feng Jun having advanced to the Qi Refining Stage, prompting a confrontation with her sister Red Sister over their relationship and her cultivation choices. The manor began preparing to celebrate her advancement, while Red Sister left hurt and Zhang Caixin privately questioned whether she had acted too willfully.

• After completing the final grain shipment, Red Sister and Good Scenery saw Feng Jun and Zhang Caixin return on the Light-Yin Shuttle and learned that Zhang Caixin had advanced to the Qi Refining Stage.
• Zhang Caixin announced her advancement and insisted on using Jade Ruins' Ruthless Cord, while Red Sister warned that it could expose her to danger.
• Red Sister learned that Feng Jun had other disciples and questioned Zhang Caixin about their relationship and how she had advanced.
• Zhang Caixin admitted that she had cultivated the Supreme Dragon-Phoenix Heart Method and Fleeting Life Weak Water with Feng Jun, then defended her choice by saying she had feared falling behind the others.
• Red Sister walked away, and Zhang Caixin wondered whether she had been too willful before resolving not to yield in her pursuit of the Great Dao.
• Feng Jun woke that afternoon to find the manor gathered to celebrate Zhang Caixin, and she asked him to decide how to arrange the ceremony.

After Zhang Caixin reached the Qi Refining Stage, Feng Jun limited her celebration and decided to establish rules for Luo Hua Manor. He asked Yang Yuxin to draft them, and she revealed that her brother-in-law wanted Feng Jun to save someone.

• Feng Jun told the disciples to plan Zhang Caixin’s celebration themselves, then restricted invitations to no more than thirty people and warned them to keep a low profile.
• Feng Jun asked Yang Yuxin to help draft manor regulations requiring disciples to uphold public order, support Luo Hua members in danger, and face strict punishment for wrongdoing.
• Yang Yuxin agreed to draft the rules and explained that Elder Gu had criticized Gu Jiahui for neglecting her studies and questioned her involvement with Feng Jun.
• Gu Jiahui told Elder Gu she knew what she was doing and said she had learned real skills from Feng Jun, but could not demonstrate them without his permission.
• Yang Yuxin told Feng Jun that her brother-in-law wanted him to save someone.

Gu Jiahui and Yang Yuxin asked Feng Jun to treat a paralyzed guard who had saved Elder Gu, and Feng Jun agreed under strict conditions. The chapter ended with Feng Jun and Yang Yuxin discussing the benefits and burdens of Elder Yu staying at Luohua Manor.

• Elder Gu dismissed Gu Jiahui's claims about Feng Jun and challenged him to treat a guard who had been paralyzed while protecting Elder Gu.
• Gu Jiahui said she believed Feng Jun could cure the guard, while Yang Yuxin urged Feng Jun to help so Gu Jiahui would no longer face pressure about school.
• Yang Yuxin offered herself to Feng Jun as payment, and Feng Jun said he would treat one person once without charging money.
• Feng Jun warned that future patients arranged by Elder Gu might not be treated, that recovered patients must leave the manor, and that patients without money should not come.
• Yang Yuxin noted that Elder Yu's presence reduced minor troubles at Luohua Manor, and Feng Jun agreed while praising her own contribution.

Yang Yuxin arranged for Xiao Song to receive treatment at Luohua Manor, where Feng Jun prescribed pills without examining him in person. Xiao Song doubted the hasty diagnosis, but Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui insisted Feng Jun’s treatment would cure him.

• Yang Yuxin told Elder Gu that Feng Jun would treat only one patient according to his own wishes, and Elder Gu arranged to send Xiao Song to Luohua Manor.
• Feng Jun turned Xiao Song’s party away after dark, so they returned the next morning and were warned by Yang Yuxin to obey everyone at the manor and keep its secrets.
• Gu Jiahui corrected Xiao Song’s guess that the jade building was made of Han White Jade, explaining that it was Mutton-Fat White Jade.
• Feng Jun gave Yang Yuxin treatment instructions and pills for Xiao Song, then added half a Body-Tempering Pill to the prescription.
• Xiao Song questioned Feng Jun’s diagnosis because he had not examined him, but Yang Yuxin showed the party Feng Jun’s handwritten treatment steps and Gu Jiahui vouched for his ability.

Gu Jiahui began treating Xiao Song with a Foundation-Nourishing Pill while Yang Yuxin enforced the manor’s confidentiality rules. Elder Yu learned that Luohua’s treatments were extraordinary, and Shen Qingyi asked Feng Jun whether Jade Ruins could congratulate Zhang Caixin on pushing open the immortal gate.

• Yang Yuxin rebuked Xiao Song and his companions for doubting Feng Jun and warned them not to photograph or share information from Luohua Manor.
• Gu Jiahui cut a Foundation-Nourishing Pill into quarters, gave Xiao Song a dose with water brought by Li Shishi, and told the three men to wait for the next dose.
• Elder Yu questioned the three visitors about their treatment, then told them Luohua’s fees could reach hundreds of millions.
• Shen Qingyi interrupted Feng Jun’s experiments to ask when the Immortal Ascension Mirror would be ready, apologized when he objected, and asked whether Jade Ruins could visit to congratulate Zhang Caixin.

Feng Jun went to Yaxi Country and seized a grain convoy, then also took its Mairui Country naval escort. The fishing vessel investigating the disappearances escaped, while the frigate’s sudden disappearance drew the navy’s attention.

• Shen Qingyi agreed to invite Jade Ruins’ sect master, Yu Baiyi, or the Grand Elder to congratulate Zhang Caixin, with no more than two visitors.
• After Xiao Song and the others left, Feng Jun secretly traveled to Yaxi Country in response to news of a wheat convoy escorted by a Mairui Country frigate.
• Feng Jun discovered a fishing vessel scanning the convoy, then used the Mirage King Bracer to take the three freighters into the Phone Plane after nightfall.
• When a sailor spotted the freighters’ lights vanish, Feng Jun also seized the frigate, but left the fishing vessel alone because a Xia Nation descendant was aboard.
• Clark Garen protested as Captain John ordered the fishing vessel to flee, while Feng Jun moved the grain and Lithium Batteries, sank several ships, and left wheat near Yaxi Country.
• The disappearance of the Mairui Country frigate alarmed its navy, which had already been investigating the earlier missing freighters.

Feng Jun confirmed to Elder Yu that he had seized the Mairui warship and agreed to provide the country with items from it under strict secrecy. He left their negotiation with a limit on requests for missions and asked whether the country would accept his gold.

• The Mairui Navy announced that the frigate Leidunk had disappeared alongside three Yaxi Country cargo ships, shocking the world.
• Elder Yu sought Feng Jun at Luo Hua Manor, and Feng Jun confirmed he had returned after taking the warship.
• Elder Yu asked Feng Jun whether he had seized the Mairui Aegis, and Feng Jun confirmed it was in his possession and in good condition.
• Feng Jun told Elder Yu that the sailors were dead and agreed to provide the country with items from the warship if his involvement remained secret and Luo Hua was left undisturbed.
• Feng Jun stipulated that he would accept no assigned missions, though the country could make up to three suggestions.
• Feng Jun asked Elder Yu whether the country would take some gold he had.
