Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun prepared to ambush True Adept Han Po but sensed that divination at their chosen location would bring danger, so he paused. Back at Luo Hua, he rejected a wealthy patient's request to cut in line, though he offered a costly special treatment slot for Xia people.

• Feng Jun and Big Shot discussed ambushing True Adept Han Po, and Big Shot asked Feng Jun to divine a suitable location.
• At a site near Hidden Ridge Market, Feng Jun sensed hostility from heaven and earth and decided not to divine Han Po's aura.

Feng Jun and Big Shot failed to stop True Adept Han Po from reaching the Yin Sha Sect, so Feng Jun went to Ginkgo Market to investigate who had helped him. There, two Qi Condensation cultivators confronted Feng Jun over his search for Wu Mingrui, and he agreed to go with them.

• Feng Jun warned that Little White would die if she remained near the planned ambush, so he and Big Shot abandoned it and sent Han Po a warning about Hidden Ridge Market.

• Feng Jun disguised himself and searched Ginkgo Market for Wu Mingrui, whose newly renovated home stood unanswered.
• Two High Qi Condensation cultivators confronted Feng Jun, claimed an adept had invited Wu Mingrui for tea, and tried to take Feng Jun with them.
• After learning the men were market management and hearing from Big Shot that no Golden Core cultivators were nearby, Feng Jun agreed to follow them.

Feng Jun stormed Zhu Manor to find Wu Mingrui, binding and interrogating its cultivators while learning that a powerful figure wanted Wu Mingrui and his friends. After Zhu Qingtian provoked him and Zhu Gaoyang attacked, Feng Jun killed Qingtian and countered Gaoyang, ending the chapter as he unleashed a Divine Sense attack and the Immortal-Binding Cord.

• Feng Jun entered Zhu Manor, bound its Early Emergence from Dust Adept, and demanded to know where Wu Mingrui was.

• Feng Jun identified Zhu Gaoyang and demanded answers, but Zhu Qingtian claimed Feng Jun deserved execution, so Feng Jun killed him.
• Zhu Gaoyang attacked Feng Jun with a flying sword and called for a signal arrow; Feng Jun dodged, put away the Mountain-River Seal, and launched a Divine Sense attack and the Immortal-Binding Cord.

• Feng Jun defeated Zhu Gaoyang with his Divine Sense and the Immortal-Binding Cord, then questioned him about Wu Mingrui and the Yin Sha Sect.
• Zhu Gaoyang admitted that his family had accused Wu Mingrui of associating with evil cultivators without evidence, and Feng Jun demanded that Wu Mingrui and the others be brought to him.

• After telling Feng Jun that he did not regret working for him, Wu Mingrui struck his head against a stone table and died before he could name his daughter.
• Feng Jun threatened the Zhu Family and summoned its ancestor, who appeared and agreed that his descendants were incompetent before offering one final strike.
• Feng Jun challenged the Zhu Family ancestor and asked why True Adept Han Po had fled.

Feng Jun confronted the Zhu Family over its role in the Yin Sha Sect’s attempt to track him and learned that he had killed two of Han Po’s companions. The Zhu Family patriarch avoided a final fight by accepting responsibility for the family’s actions and arranging compensation for Wu Mingrui’s daughter, while Feng Jun insisted Zhu Gaoyang remain under scrutiny.

• Feng Jun questioned Zhu Gaoyang, who explained that the Yin Sha Sect had recruited the major families to watch for Feng Jun and that Zhu Chaosheng had volunteered to capture him.
• Feng Jun showed the Zhu Family patriarch the corpses of Ling Bing and Yue Wu and revealed that Han Po had fled after Feng Jun pursued him.
• The Zhu Family patriarch inspected Ling Bing’s body, recognized Feng Jun’s strength, and thanked him for sparing the family.
• After hearing the full account, the patriarch ordered Zhu Datong and everyone involved in capturing Wu Mingrui killed, and assigned Zhu Gaoyang to carry out the order.
• The patriarch promised to support Wu Mingrui’s daughter with three market shops and one hundred mu of Spirit Fields, and to respect her choice of husband; Feng Jun said Zhu Gaoyang could not leave because his own matter remained unresolved.

Feng Jun negotiated compensation from the Zhu Family, then confronted Xie Chaosheng, who admitted helping Yinsha investigate him and asked to learn what had happened before accepting his punishment. The chapter ended with Feng Jun holding Xie Chaosheng to account while Zhu Gaoyang and Xie disputed who had initiated the scheme.

• Feng Jun changed the Zhu Family's compensation to one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and required Zhu Gaoyang to arrange the death of a Yinsha Emergence from Dust cultivator within a year, though Old Ancestor Zhu offered to bring the head himself.

• Xie Chaosheng accepted responsibility for his own actions and asked Feng Jun to explain what had happened so he could understand why he was being punished.

Feng Jun punished the Yin Sha Sect’s people in Ginkgo Market and forced Xie Chaosheng to serve him for thirty years, while accepting the Zhu Family’s payment and giving it one year. He left with Xie Chaosheng to seek other Yin Sha disciples, and learned that Ginkgo Market’s Tiantong president was close to the sect.

• Xie Chaosheng admitted the Xie Family had assisted the Yin Sha Sect and agreed to serve Feng Jun for thirty years after Feng Jun demanded compensation.

• Feng Jun asked the lookout what mission the Alliance had posted.

Feng Jun learned that the Rogue Cultivators Alliance was helping investigate his sudden appearances, but decided not to provoke it while he focused on the Yin Sha Sect. After Xie Chaosheng reported that the sect’s recruitment ceremony was approaching and its new students would gather at the admissions venue, Feng Jun considered whether to attack it.

• Feng Jun threatened a watcher until the idler revealed that the Rogue Cultivators Alliance was monitoring people who appeared suddenly, then let him keep his boots and Storage Talisman but took the Fragmented Spirit Stones.
• Feng Jun concluded that Yinsha was likely searching the area where he had vanished and suspected the Rogue Cultivators Alliance was helping investigate him, but decided to avoid opening a second front.
• Feng Jun traveled with Little White to Celestial Star Market, where Xie Chaosheng joined him after searching for information about Adept Han Po’s businesses without success.
• Xie Chaosheng told Feng Jun that the Yin Sha Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony was near and suggested attacking the venue where new students would gather.
• Feng Jun pondered whether attacking the admissions venue would harm innocent students.

Feng Jun investigated Yin Sha's base in Celestial Star Market while planning a future attack, then accepted an invitation to approach its gate. Yin Sha tried to trap him with its defensive formation, but he escaped with Flash Step, leaving the Adepts shocked by his speed.

• Feng Jun learned that Red Phoenix knew about Yin Sha but could not attack its recruitment site without risking retaliation, and that disciple recruitment would begin in three months.
• Feng Jun asked about Yin Sha's strength in Celestial Star and learned that its base was protected by a Golden Core-level Defensive Formation and marketplace rules against dangerous attacks.
• Feng Jun disguised himself, surveyed Yin Sha's courtyard from a carriage, and estimated that it held at least three Emergence from Dust Adepts, over forty Qi Condensation disciples, and more than twenty Mortal Transcendence cultivators.
• An Early Emergence from Dust Adept challenged Feng Jun to enter the courtyard, and Feng Jun agreed to wait at the main gate.
• Yin Sha's Adepts suspected Feng Jun might be the cultivator who had killed their Golden Cores, but decided to use the formation against him if he approached.
• Two Adepts appeared above the gate and recognized Feng Jun; he used Flash Step to evade the formation's restraining attack, startling the Mid Emergence from Dust Adept holding a strange box.

Feng Jun planned to attack the Yin Sha Sect’s compound after its disciples mistook him for a threat, while the sect scrambled to prepare for his arrival. After evading divinations and returning to Rong Mountain, he met Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng, who revealed they had recently killed a Yinsha Golden Core while protecting Ji Busheng.

• Xiaomeng told Feng Jun that she and Qu Jianlei had killed a Yinsha Golden Core while intervening in an ambush on Ji Busheng.

After helping Ji Busheng and Sumiao kill a Yin Sha Golden Core, Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng reunited with Feng Jun at Rong Mountain Market. Feng Jun planned to investigate Yin Sha Estate, and the chapter left him preparing to teleport into the market with Xiaomeng’s help.

• Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng joined Ji Busheng and Sumiao in battle, and the four fled after killing a newly advanced Yin Sha Golden Core and sensing reinforcements.

• Feng Jun learned Qu Jianlei had tracked him with Disc Flower scent and insects, then confirmed that he had killed Yue Wu and Ling Bing at Giant Wood.
• Feng Jun said he planned to inspect Yin Sha Estate and consider infiltrating its Defensive Formation, but Qu Jianlei warned that Rong Mountain Market was screening entrants.
• Feng Jun declined to learn Red Phoenix’s secret passage and gave Xiaomeng a Teleportation Array Disc so she could help him enter the market.

Feng Jun, Qu Jianlei, and Xiaomeng used a Teleportation Array Disc near Rong Mountain Market, triggering Yinsha’s warning formation and forcing them to flee. After scouting the Yin Sha Sect annex, Feng Jun discovered a possible weakness tied to the Giant Wood formation, then followed three Yinsha disciples toward the teleportation point and noticed a hidden Emergence from Dust cultivator trailing them.

• Xiaomeng activated a Teleportation Array, and Feng Jun and Qu Jianlei teleported to her, setting off Yinsha’s Spatial Warning Formation.

• Feng Jun circled the Yin Sha Sect annex and learned from the Big Shot that its Defensive Formation revealed a weakness they could exploit at Giant Wood.
• Three Qi Refining Stage Yinsha cultivators left through a hidden entrance to investigate the teleportation point, and Feng Jun followed them.
• The Big Shot spotted an Early Emergence from Dust cultivator secretly following the three disciples, and Feng Jun signaled the discovery to Qu Jianlei.

Feng Jun then proposed attacking the Yin Sha annex after warning nearby residents, prompting Xiaomeng to compare his ambition to the legendary Yang Outsider.

• Feng Jun asked whether they could attack the Yin Sha annex after warning nearby residents to leave, and Xiaomeng compared his plan to Yang Outsider’s legendary raids on sect annexes.

Feng Jun planted explosives at Yin Sha bases in three markets, then destroyed them after warning nearby residents, prompting Yin Sha to evacuate and seek negotiations. The chapter ended with Feng Jun questioning how Yin Sha learned he might disrupt its disciple recruitment ceremony.

• Feng Jun left Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng behind, flew to Celestial Star Market, planted explosives at Yin Sha's base, and scattered evacuation flyers.
• Feng Jun repeated the operation at Departure Market and Heavenly Chant Market while Yin Sha focused on the threat to Rong Mountain.

• Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng told Feng Jun that True Adept Nine Fiends had contacted their sects and claimed a Heavenly Mechanism expert predicted Feng Jun might sabotage Yin Sha's recruitment ceremony.
• Feng Jun wondered whether Xie Chaosheng had revealed his plan, then suggested Yin Sha had simply inferred it from his attacks on the three bases.

Feng Jun learned that attacking Yinsha’s Disciple Reception Ceremony would cross a major boundary, so he abandoned the plan and accepted that reconciliation could not secure Han Po’s corpse. He left to return to Liba Beach, while Qu Jianlei and Xiaomeng hurried after him and Xie Chaosheng was left behind.

• Qu Jianlei explained that sabotaging Yinsha’s Disciple Reception Ceremony could provoke retaliation against Red Phoenix, and Feng Jun admitted he had not understood the custom.
• Qu Jianlei told Feng Jun that Yinsha had a Nascent Soul True Immortal, while Xiaomeng explained that Yinsha would not hand over Han Po’s corpse.

• Feng Jun told Xie Chaosheng to report to Liba Beach after finishing his business, then departed.
• Qu Jianlei said he needed to protect Feng Jun, and Xiaomeng grabbed him and followed Feng Jun’s trail, leaving Xie Chaosheng behind.

Feng Jun advanced to Mortal Transcendence, helped Little Wu reach the Second Layer, and began modifying the manor’s Earth Vein. The chapter ended when Liang Siyu reported that a crow had stolen three sheep, prompting Feng Jun to go check the entrance.

• Xiaomeng and Qu Jianlei lost Feng Jun’s trail, then decided to remain near Yin Sha’s headquarters rather than pursue him recklessly.
• Feng Jun visited Celestial Star Market to mislead anyone tracking him, then returned to Blue Star and advanced to Mortal Transcendence.

• Cancer patients argued over two early treatment slots purchased for one hundred million each, and Liu Yuting explained the Nursing Center’s policy.
• Feng Jun began modifying the manor’s Earth Vein, then went to investigate Liang Siyu’s report that one crow had stolen three sheep.

Crow King tried to steal a sheep to celebrate reaching the Second Layer of Mortal Transcendence, but villagers brought it three lambs and accepted a gold ring as payment. At the manor’s private celebration, Yang Yuxin resolved to seek another opportunity with Feng Jun, but Good Scenery and Red Sister arranged to draw him away that night.

• Crow King fought a sheep while trying to carry it off, then explained by scratching characters that it wanted to treat guests.
• The villagers delivered three lambs, and Crow King paid them with a gold ring after Feng Jun’s money was refused.
• Feng Jun and the manor residents celebrated Crow King’s advancement privately, while Huahua offered spirit-infused gu insects for the feast.
• Gu Jiahui noticed Yang Yuxin had reached the third layer, and Crow King’s boastful cries made Yang Yuxin decide to invite Feng Jun again.
• Zhang Caixin, Good Scenery, Red Sister, and Mei Jin discussed Feng Jun’s lingering fragrance in their group chat, and Red Sister offered to accompany Good Scenery to White Jade Capital.

Feng Jun used the medicinal power of Heavenly Fragrance Fruits to help his companions advance, though he could not keep eating the fruits himself. After resting, he spent time among his disciples, and Gao Qiang advanced to Advanced Martial Master.

• Feng Jun told Yang Yuxin that he had eaten another Heavenly Fragrance Fruit and was exhausted after helping Red Sister, Zhang Caixin, and Good Scenery cultivate.
• Feng Jun later ate another fruit at the women's urging, and Good Scenery and Red Sister advanced to the Seventh Layer of Mortal Transcendence.
• Feng Jun promised Zhang Caixin he would help her break through to Mid Qi Refining, while Yu Qingzhu watched the others advance and wondered whether she should act too.
• Gao Qiang asked Feng Jun to spend more time in the Valley Bamboo Forest because his fragrance aided cultivation, and Feng Jun agreed.
• After Feng Jun stayed in the Valley Bamboo Forest for two days, Gao Qiang advanced to Advanced Martial Master, drawing Chen Shengwang's curiosity.

Feng Jun’s Heavenly Fragrance Fruit continued to spur breakthroughs among the people around him, while he tried to escape the attention by visiting his parents in Chaori County. There, he met a relative from Sprout City who brought up an old grievance, leaving Feng Jun wary of his explanation.

• Chen Shengwang doubted that the fragrance itself aided cultivation, while Shen Qingyi felt frustrated that she had missed its benefits and Gazi happily welcomed Gao Qiang’s advancement.
