Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun and the three women secretly filled all six oil tanks, while Elder Yu received the test results and learned how quickly the job had been done. Back at Luohua Manor, Feng Jun dealt with Yuan Youwei’s pleas to become his disciple and decided to move to a villa, where he and Red Sister encountered five young people being restrained at the gate.

• Feng Jun called Elder Yu to arrange for the security guards to keep quiet while he and the three women filled the oil tanks at night.
• The guards complained about the noise, but their captain reported the unusual activity and was told to follow the earlier arrangements.
• Feng Jun returned to the Phone Plane for more crude oil, then the group filled all six tanks and left before dawn.
• Yu Zhiyuan learned that the tanks were full, and preliminary tests showed the oil barely differed from the samples.
• Feng Jun returned to Luohua Manor, rejected Yuan Youwei’s repeated requests to become his disciple, and decided to stay at the villa in the park.
• As Feng Jun and Red Sister drove out of the manor, they saw security personnel restraining five young people.

Feng Jun and Red Sister dealt with cars illegally parked in front of Feng Jun’s villa, and a tow truck took one away after its owner refused to move it. The furious owner then tried to stop the tow truck and accused the driver of being connected to Yang City’s police.

• Feng Jun arrived at his villa with Red Sister and found two cars blocking its gate.
• The BMW’s owner recognized Red Sister, apologized, and moved his car, while the Toyota’s owner remained absent.
• After waiting and failing to reach the owner, Red Sister called a tow truck, and Feng Jun and the BMW’s owner pushed the Toyota onto the lakeside road.
• The tow truck arrived and began towing the Toyota after Red Sister arranged access to the park.
• The Toyota’s owner rushed over, climbed onto the truck, then stood in front of it and shouted that the driver should run her over.

Feng Jun’s villa gate was blocked by a woman who argued with the tow-truck driver and then was beaten by residents after her car was towed. The next day, Kong Ergou and Xiaowen visited Red Sister and Feng Jun, explaining how they had pressured the woman into apologizing.

• The woman accused a tow-truck driver of abusing police authority until he explained that he worked for a private towing company and had been hired because her car blocked a gate.
• Kong Ergou and several others rushed the woman after he heard her claim she had not been contacted, and bystanders filmed the incident.
• A video of the confrontation spread through Social Diary after Yuan Youwei reposted it and tagged Feng Jun, who also shared it and defended leaving the space by his gate open for traffic.
• Kong Ergou threatened the woman at her home and workplace after her car was towed, while Xiaowen later pressured her securities firm to make her apologize.
• Kong Ergou, Xiaowen, and a woman visited Red Sister and Feng Jun, and Xiaowen explained that he had intervened to keep Red Sister from getting involved.

Feng Jun discussed crude-oil supplies and Graphene with Elder Yu, then settled into a quiet life at the villa. The chapter ended with Feng Jun amused as a group of young people gathered outside to livestream and discuss reenacting the earlier incident.

• Feng Jun gave Kong a Jade Gourd as thanks for keeping an eye on the house.
• Elder Yu asked whether Feng Jun could supply more crude oil, and Feng Jun said he could provide large quantities but would not guarantee timely delivery.
• Feng Jun told Elder Yu that Graphene had made some progress and declined help with his city residence.
• A securities-company employee came to apologize, but Feng Jun refused to let her into the villa.
• Michael Lei and his wife visited and asked to rent the villa or two rooms, but Feng Jun refused both requests.
• Feng Jun watched a group of young people gather outside his villa, livestreaming and discussing a reenactment of the earlier incident.

Feng Jun and Red Sister were drugged and abducted from the villa, then transported by sea. After Feng Jun knocked out the guards aboard a yacht, Red Sister revealed she had been conscious too, and they prepared to take control of the ship.

• Feng Jun realized he had been poisoned, but pretended to remain incapacitated when he discovered Red Sister had also been drugged.
• Four raincoat-wearing abductors carried Feng Jun and Red Sister from the villa, transferred them between vehicles, and eventually took them aboard a ship.
• Feng Jun inferred the abductors were likely foreign and endured the journey while keeping Red Sister in sight.
• After the ship had sailed for hours, Feng Jun used a Divine Sense attack to knock out the three guards and shattered two cameras.
• Feng Jun discovered Red Sister was awake and resistant to drugs, and the two agreed to take control of the ship and find who had abducted them.

Feng Jun tracked down those involved in his kidnapping, killed or incapacitated most of them, and brought the surviving captives to Luo Hua for questioning. The investigation uncovered how the toxin had been planted but failed to identify who had ordered the attack, and Feng Jun told Elder Yu that all his witnesses were dead.

• Feng Jun and Red Sister escaped the catamaran, subdued the people aboard two ships, sank the yacht, and flew back toward Yang City with the captives.
• Feng Jun tracked down people whose auras he remembered, then brought more than forty captives to Luo Hua for interrogation while Red Sister and the disciples helped investigate.
• Feng Jun's people released eight fishermen after learning they had only accepted side work, and they discovered that a dropout had unknowingly planted a slow-release toxin near the villa.
• Wang Haifeng's inquiries revealed that elderly park regulars had suggested the villa as a livestreaming topic to the young people who had visited it in the rain.
• Elder Yu offered professional investigators to help Feng Jun, but Feng Jun said there were no witnesses because they were all dead.

Feng Jun learned that Mairui Country had targeted him to obtain the valuable substance in Three Lives Wine and Three Lives Aged Liquor. Elder Yu’s investigation traced the attack to a suspected neurotoxin program and ended with Michael Lei identified as a major suspect.

• Elder Yu questioned Feng Jun about the people he had killed and the poison used against him, and Feng Jun provided the toxin’s name.
• Elder Yu’s investigation found that Mairui Country had pursued Three Lives Wine’s base liquid and shared intelligence with people from Mud Country about Luo Hua.
• Feng Jun learned that Mairui Country’s private detectives had approached Ye Qingyi, but Second Monk’s men drove them away from Three Lives Wine Company.
• Elder Yu determined that Mairui Country had likely used a failed anesthetic with dangerous genetic effects, which Xia Nation suspected could be a biochemical weapon.
• Elder Yu told Feng Jun that Michael Lei was a major suspect.

Feng Jun, Elder Yu, and Red Sister discussed how to keep Michael Lei out of Yang City without openly harming the city’s reputation, and Red Sister proposed damaging his public image in Dragon City. Michael Lei was caught soliciting prostitutes, but the incident initially attracted little attention and left Feng Jun suspicious that someone had arranged it.

• Elder Yu told Feng Jun that Michael Lei was probably behind the plot against him and had gone to Dragon City for a seminar.
• Red Sister proposed getting Michael Lei caught in a scandal, then using public pressure over the park’s lake reclamation to discourage his return to Yang City.
• Feng Jun said he would let Michael Lei return if he wished, but warned that he would not show mercy if Michael Lei continued pursuing Luo Hua.
• Three days later, news reached Feng Jun that Michael Lei had been caught soliciting prostitutes in Dragon City, where marijuana was also found, though his urine test was negative.
• An anonymous Social Diary account posted a video of Michael Lei’s arrest, and the post was briefly blocked before the restriction was lifted.
• Michael Lei’s background was revealed that afternoon, but the incident still drew little public attention.

Feng Jun agreed to refill four oil storage tanks but insisted on advance payment, prompting Elder Yu to transfer one billion Xia Currency. After receiving it, Feng Jun returned to Liba Beach, where Du Wentian proposed opening more oil wells despite the lack of storage facilities.

• A Social Diary post publicized Michael Ray’s alleged visit to prostitutes and the park construction, while Michael Ray booked a ticket back to Mairui Country.
• Elder Yu arranged for Yu Qingzhu’s father to intervene, as Mairui Country, South Xianluo, and Mud Country requested investigations into missing citizens.
• After four Jinzhou storage tanks were emptied, Elder Yu asked Feng Jun to refill them and explained that future oil purchases might use tankers.
• Feng Jun demanded advance payment, and Elder Yu transferred one billion Xia Currency to his account that afternoon.
• Feng Jun returned to Liba Beach, where Du Wentian reported that the eight wells produced up to 160,000 cubic meters of crude oil daily and wanted to open more.
• Feng Jun advised limiting production to ten wells, but Du Wentian dismissed the need for rest shifts and suggested plugging a well with a rock if necessary.

Feng Jun returned to Blue Star after arranging another crude-oil delivery, while his conspicuous night out gave the authorities reason to wonder whether others at Luohua Manor could do the same. Zhang Caixin learned he had gone to a nightclub instead of being with her sister and remained upset when he was still asleep at nine.

• Kong Ziyi asked Feng Jun where his crude oil had gone and worried that Dong Liuye would not recover; Feng Jun said he would use the data to treat her thoroughly.
• Feng Jun spent the night at a flower venue with Wu Limin, handing out money and keeping the hostesses entertained until he left at four in the morning.
• Elder Yu learned that Feng Jun had been at the venue when the Jinzhou oil tanks were refilled, and worried that Zhang Caixin or others might share his ability.
• The new buyers tried recording the oil delivery without sending anyone to the storage base, but captured no useful clues, and Elder Yu laughed at their failure.
• Zhang Caixin returned from secretly filling the Jinzhou tanks, learned Feng Jun had gone to a nightclub, and grew more unsettled when he was still asleep at nine.

Feng Jun supplied the Yu family with more Graphene and traveled abroad before Luohua Manor began studying Spirit Realm Language. Back in the Phone Plane, he discussed with Kong Ziyi whether to deal with Elder Bai.

• Feng Jun and Yu Zhiyuan bargained over a new Graphene shipment, settling on seventy tons, which Feng Jun delivered to the warehouse.
• Feng Jun traveled to Star Luo and Shaluo Country with Good Scenery and Red Sister, crossing the borders without passports.
• Three teachers from the Spirit Realm arrived at Luohua Manor, where Feng Jun required everyone to study Spirit Realm Language.
• After Yang Yuxin took Gu Jiahui to register for school, Feng Jun returned to the Phone Plane and checked on Venerable Yang.
• Venerable Yang urged Feng Jun to punish Elder Bai, so Feng Jun asked Kong Ziyi whether they should deal with him in Mingsha Market.

Feng Jun tested the Fang Clan twins’ cultivation aptitude after Kong Ziyi arranged for him to advise her senior sister, An Yuhong. He identified excessive Extreme Yang in the boy and then told the girl that she had the more serious problem.

• Kong Ziyi decided to wait for Elder Bai to return from the Ten Directions Platform and planned to admit two talented Yang Clan children into the Supreme Clarity Sect to settle her connection with Venerable Yang.
• Kong Ziyi persuaded Huangfu Wuxia to provide more than a hundred Tiantong cultivation methods so Feng Jun could assess promising cultivation seedlings.
• An Yuhong arrived in Lantern Town with the Fang Clan twins, whose Innate Extreme Yin and Innate Extreme Yang Constitutions had made them exceptionally rare prospects for the Supreme Clarity Sect.
• Feng Jun examined the twins and said their aptitude was excellent, but he had no particular cultivation-method suggestions because Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang methods were scarce.
• Feng Jun recognized that the boy’s Extreme Yang had become excessive after the twins were nourished with fire-element treasures, and Huangfu Wuxia confirmed that he had recently suffered fire-element injuries.
• Feng Jun told the Fang Clan girl that she was the one with the major issue.

Feng Jun revealed that An Yuhong had the Hidden Astral-Wind Gold constitution, a condition that threatened her cultivation and future in the Supreme Clarity Sect. He suggested she use Thunder Arts to temper her metal attribute, leaving An Yuhong eager to learn more.

• Feng Jun told An Yuhong that her apparent Sancai wind attribute concealed a metal attribute that had grown stronger through her cultivation of metal techniques.
• Kong Ziyi recognized the condition as Hidden Astral-Wind Gold, and An Yuhong feared the revelation would ruin her standing and future in the sect.
• An Yuhong admitted she had failed to break through to the Emergence from Dust, Fourth Layer, and Kong Ziyi offered to seek help from her master.
• Feng Jun reassured An Yuhong that she might not need to disperse her cultivation, then suggested that Thunder Arts could temper her metal attribute.
• An Yuhong eagerly asked Feng Jun how she should temper the metal attribute.

Feng Jun identified An Yuhong’s constitution as a Wind-Thunder Concealed Metal Body and recommended that she use Thunder Arts to cultivate it. An Yuhong sought confirmation from Sumiao, who said Thunder Arts could work if the constitution was truly Wind-Thunder Gold.

• Huangfu Wuxia identified An Yuhong’s constitution as a Wind-Thunder Concealed Metal Body, and Feng Jun confirmed her explanation.
• Feng Jun recommended the Blazing Sun Heavenly Thunder Scripture for An Yuhong and offered to compare Thunder Arts to find the most suitable one.
• Huangfu Wuxia asked Feng Jun about his ability to assess constitutions and proposed helping him find clients seeking cultivation-method matches.
• An Yuhong asked Kong Ziyi to consult Sumiao because she wanted to verify Feng Jun’s judgment without revealing her constitution to her own master.
• Sumiao said Astral-Wind Gold could not be tempered with Thunder Arts, but confirmed that Thunder Arts could work if An Yuhong’s constitution was Wind-Thunder Gold.

An Yuhong told her master, Yuan Ming, that Feng Jun had discovered a possible way to address her Wind-Thunder Concealed Metal Body, and Yuan Ming ordered her not to cultivate until the sect examined the technique. When An Yuhong returned to Liba Beach, Feng Jun and Venerable Yang had disappeared, leaving Kong Ziyi to suspect that events had reached a turning point.

• Kong Ziyi told An Yuhong that Sumiao approved using Thunder Arts if her condition was confirmed, but warned her not to mention Sumiao or Purple Cloud Peak.
• An Yuhong revealed her condition and Feng Jun's advice to Yuan Ming, who recognized that she might have Hidden Astral-Wind Gold.
• An Yuhong admitted Kong Ziyi and Sumiao's approval had persuaded her to seek help, and Yuan Ming divined that she had a benefactor and an opportunity this month and next.
• Yuan Ming told An Yuhong to bring Feng Jun back and forbade her from cultivating until the sect matched and divined a technique.
• An Yuhong traveled to Mingsha Market with Kong Ziyi and visited the Bai family before returning to Liba Beach.
• Kong Ziyi returned the next day and discovered that Feng Jun and Venerable Yang had vanished.

Feng Jun returned to the Phone Plane with Venerable Yang unconscious and learned that healing his damaged divine soul would require precious medicine and years of recovery. After taking oil from the newly completed warehouse, he prepared to visit Mingsha Market with Huangfu Wuxia and Kong Ziyi, who planned to disguise themselves for bargain hunting.

• Feng Jun brought Venerable Yang back to the Phone Plane, where Kong Ziyi diagnosed slight damage to his divine soul and said Carefree Soul-Replenishing Pills alone might not save him.
• Feng Jun refused to spend his Soul-Condensing Liquid on Venerable Yang, while Kong Ziyi sought treasures that could repair the divine soul for Feng Jun to assess.
• Feng Jun collected 360,000 cubic meters of crude oil from the second underground warehouse.
• Feng Jun prepared to take Jing Qingyang and Chen Junwei to Mingsha Market, and Huangfu Wuxia and Kong Ziyi decided to join him.
• Huangfu Wuxia disguised her appearance and cultivation, while Kong Ziyi struggled to conceal her aura and proposed buying an Aura Concealment Technique manual.

Feng Jun learned that Dragon Wanderer was trying to acquire Liba Beach and profit from its crude oil, prompting Huangfu Wuxia to warn him about the Yin Sha Sect’s possible involvement. Feng Jun argued that outsiders would struggle to operate his generators without his industrial system, while Huangfu suspected his concern was tied to the coming release of Spirit Stone generators.

• At Tiantong, Huangfu Wuxia called Feng Jun aside and told him Dragon Wanderer planned to use crude oil from Liba Beach as fuel.
• Feng Jun realized Huangfu was concerned that crude oil generators could support her communications system, which she wanted to control.
• Huangfu explained that Dragon Wanderer had tried to get Mingsha Marketplace to pressure Feng Jun into selling Liba Beach, then recruited locals when it refused.
• Huangfu warned that Dragon Wanderer might hand the beach to the Yin Sha Sect, but Feng Jun argued the sect could not profit without his generators, spare parts, and industrial system.
• Huangfu asked whether Feng Jun was uneasy because Spirit Stone generators were about to appear, and he reacted with discomfort.

Feng Jun learned that rumors were stirring up greed for Liba Beach and agreed to resume the Orderless Plane’s graphene-for-grain trade. Chief Steward Gao then sought Feng Jun’s help after the Duan Family’s dispute with the Liu Clan over a newly purchased residence left them with few options.

• Huangfu Wuxia told Feng Jun that Dragon Wanderer had left after spreading word that renewed covetousness toward Liba Beach was growing in the market, though the rumor had been traced only to two desperate cultivators.
• Feng Jun asked whether someone was secretly amplifying the rumor, while Huangfu Wuxia suspected that the value of the oil alone was attracting attention.
• Huangfu Wuxia reported that the Orderless Plane wanted to resume trading graphene for grain, and Feng Jun agreed to exchange one ton of graphene for two hundred tons of grain.
• The Duan Family bought the Lu brothers’ residence at auction, but the Liu Clan demanded that they give it up despite having helped keep the bidding price low.
• Chief Steward Gao tried to enlist Tiantong’s support by offering it part of the property, but Venerable Tu refused after learning the Duan Family had used Tiantong as leverage.
• After hearing Feng Jun had arrived at the market, Chief Steward Gao hurried to find him and explained the Duan Family’s predicament.

Feng Jun, Huangfu Wuxia, and Kong Ziyi accepted a portion of the Duan Family’s Lu Clan land in exchange for helping protect the family, then went to inspect the construction plans. Their visit was interrupted by Liu Yongjia, who offered them accommodations and questioned the land’s ownership, and Huangfu Wuxia ordered him to leave.

• Adept Duan explained that the Duan Family had bought the Lu Clan land cheaply under Liu Clan pressure and offered Feng Jun a residence there; Feng Jun objected to the deal being made without asking him.
• Huangfu Wuxia agreed to take one-tenth of the plot for one thousand Spirit Stones and barred anyone from entering without permission from her, Kong Ziyi, or Feng Jun.
• Huangfu Wuxia asked Gao Tao to investigate who had spread rumors against Liba Beach, and Gao Tao reluctantly agreed despite fearing the Yin Sha Sect’s Dragon Wanderer.
• Feng Jun, Kong Ziyi, and Huangfu Wuxia inspected the Duan Family’s plans for Lu Residence and offered suggestions while a Duan Family cultivator reshaped the model.
• Feng Jun and Kong Ziyi brought out their Traveling Residences, and Kong Ziyi invited Huangfu Wuxia to stay with them.
• Liu Yongjia arrived and offered accommodations while questioning the land’s ownership, but Huangfu Wuxia cut him off and told him to get lost.

Liu Yongjia confronted Huangfu Wuxia over the Liu Clan's claim to land from the Lu Clan's estate, but learned that she, Feng Jun, and Kong Ziyi objected to the market's handling of the estate. The Liu Clan decided to stop contesting the land, then received word that three Supreme Clarity Sect adepts had arrived, prompting Liu Yongjia to reconsider approaching Feng Jun.

• Liu Yongjia tried to assert the Liu Clan's claim to the land, but Huangfu Wuxia told him to scram and Adept Duan explained that the three adepts were angry about the market's cheap division of the Lu Clan's assets.
• Kong Ziyi and Feng Jun explained why the handling of the estate had offended them, and Liu Yongjia realized the dispute implicated the market's authority.
• Liu Yongjia returned to the Liu Clan, where Liu Nianxin said the land dispute had become public and warned that the clan should not be greedy.
• Liu Yongjia asked whether he should contact Feng Jun, but Liu Nianxin told him not to approach eagerly or cause trouble.
• A Liu Clan disciple reported that three Supreme Clarity Sect adepts had arrived through the Teleportation Array, including An Yuhong, and Liu Yongjia again asked about contacting Feng Jun.
