Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun met with Luo Hua and discussed Sophia’s plans, the fires in the Leo Kingdom, and Jade Ruins’ repeated attacks. After Feng Jun left, Di Aixin admitted to Gao Qiang that he had stayed away from Luo Hua because he hoped to become successful enough to pursue Li Shishi, leaving Gao Qiang to warn that she might marry before he does.

• Di Aixin agreed to accept Luo Hua’s supervision and punishment, and Gao Qiang told him to recover from his injuries.
• Sophia greeted Feng Jun, then said she would stay a few more days before returning to negotiate with the Leo Kingdom government.
• Feng Jun told Zhang Caixin to have Chen Shengwang return to Luo Hua after finishing his work in the Leo Kingdom.
• Feng Jun told Zhang Caixin that he had caught Yu Kun twice and warned him he would kill him if he tried again.
• After Feng Jun left, Di Aixin told Gao Qiang he had stayed away from Luo Hua because he loved Li Shishi and wanted to make something of himself before pursuing her.
• Gao Qiang warned Di Aixin that Li Shishi might marry before he became successful.

Sophia returned to the Daoist Temple amid worsening wildfires and drought, where she refused to bring rain to Alansmu Town or fight the fires without substantial compensation. While Feng Jun waited for Chen Shengwang to recruit disciples and helped Red Sister, Good Scenery, and Yang Yuxin advance, the fire drew closer and the temple’s daily rain made it a refuge from smoke and heat.

• Sophia returned to the Daoist Temple, reopened its front hall, and refused Daisy’s request to bring rain to Alansmu Town.
• Sophia rejected government officials’ request to fight the wildfires because they could not offer adequate compensation, and she drove them away after they refused to waive her land expenses.
• Chen Shengwang told Feng Jun he wanted to investigate Dragon Gate Assembly contestants and recruit two disciples for the Fanghu Lineage before joining Luo Hua as a guest elder.
• Feng Jun agreed to wait and helped Red Sister and Good Scenery advance to Half-Step Qi Condensation, then brought Yang Yuxin from Luo Hua to help her advance as well.
• The wildfire reached within forty kilometers of Alansmu Town, while the Daoist Temple’s Rain-Praying Array brought rain twice daily and drew attention as a refuge from smoke and heat.

As the Leo Kingdom’s fire drove people toward Alansmu, Sophia and Ruth turned away charity workers demanding help to bring rain to the fire zone. The fire continued despite the temple’s daily rain, and the next day Fourth Master Lin asked the Daoist Temple to rescue Chinese tourists trapped in the blaze.

• Avril told a family fleeing to Alansmu that they could not stay overnight inside the Daoist Temple and would have to find their own food and water.
• A charity group from Neil asked Ruth to summon rain over the fire zone, but Ruth refused after they offered only seven or eight thousand.
• Sophia rejected the visitors’ demand for help, challenged their accusations, and warned them not to speak carelessly.
• Rain fell at the Daoist Temple that night and again the next morning, while the distant fire remained visible and people continued arriving and leaving Alansmu.
• Fourth Master Lin contacted Red Sister and asked whether the Daoist Temple could rescue Chinese tourists trapped in the burning area.

Fourth Master Lin asked Red Sister to help tourists trapped in the Leo Kingdom wildfire, and Feng Jun used his Divine Sense to locate them and expand the Rain-Praying Array. As the trapped group weakened and argued over survival, Feng Jun began preparing for their possible rescue.

• Fourth Master Lin told Red Sister that the embassy could not reach tourists trapped in the fire zone and had suggested contacting local compatriots.
• Red Sister brought the request to Feng Jun, who decided to scout the tourists with Divine Sense and expand the Rain-Praying Array before deciding whether to rescue them.
• Feng Jun found roughly seventy or eighty people gathered among nine vehicles in a clearing, where heat and smoke had already caused several people to faint.
• Feng Jun contacted the leader of the largest group, a former firefighter, and learned that the tourists had ignored warnings to photograph the wildfire before a sudden fire front trapped them.
• The former firefighter and a doctor urged the tourists to conserve their strength and stay calm as they faced a high risk of suffocation and little chance of outside rescue.

Feng Jun used the Rain-Praying Array and Wind-and-Rain Formation to rescue a Xia tour group trapped by a wildfire in the Leo Kingdom. After the rain put out the blaze, the survivors set off and chose to travel to Alansmu.

• As the fire threatened the trapped group, Feng Jun spoke to them through a faint voice, and the East Continent people heard his warning that rain was coming and they should wait for the temperature to drop.
• Feng Jun brought torrential rain and wind, which suppressed the wildfire while the group stayed behind its firebreak; one of their rental vehicles exploded, but everyone survived.
• After the rain eased, the tour group waited before leaving, while two local cars drove off early and later suffered blown tires after hitting fallen, still-burning tree trunks.
• The tour group agreed to give the stranded locals a ride, then drove away from the fire zone and reached a fork in the road.
• When the guide said the itinerary called for Neil, everyone in the vehicle chose Alansmu instead.

A group of Xia Nation tourists escaped the Leo Kingdom wildfire under Feng Jun and Sophia’s rain and followed migrating animals to the Daoist Temple at Alansmu. Fourth Master Lin arranged their arrival and warned them to behave quietly, leaving them grateful but curious about who controlled the temple’s offerings.

• A young girl recovered after drinking water and spotted emus, a kangaroo, rabbits, and wild dogs running alongside the vehicles toward Alansmu.
• The tour guide realized that countless animals were fleeing toward the rain, which Feng Jun and Sophia’s expanded Rain-Praying Array had brought across the fire-stricken region.
• The five vehicles reached the Daoist Temple, where Fourth Master Lin arranged for disciples to guide the tourists into the parking lot.
• Fourth Master Lin told the group to remain quiet and said he had only passed along a reminder about their predicament, not claimed credit for their rescue.
• The tourists entered to offer incense and donations, while one person quietly questioned why foreigners handled the money and Xia-looking Daoists could not.

At Sophia’s Daoist temple, Liu Yifei learned that Sophia had helped bring about the True Martial Emperor’s manifestation, but she dismissed his thanks and refused to accept him as a disciple. After wild animals gathered outside the temple, Sophia went to consult Feng Jun, while Han Hong introduced himself to Liu Yifei as a wandering Daoist.

• Local visitors offered incense and paid their respects before Liu Yifei asked Sophia to arrange a ritual and explained that he wanted to thank her for the temple’s protection.
• Sophia said she left rituals to the Xia Daoists, emphasized that cultivation mattered more to her than donations, and declined Liu Yifei’s request to become her disciple.
• Sophia’s account of the firefighter and doctor convinced Liu Yifei that the temple had been connected to the True Martial Emperor’s manifestation.
• A young man reported that wild animals had appeared outside, and Sophia inspected them from the bell and drum tower before leaving to consult Feng Jun.
• Liu Yifei questioned Han Hong about his background, and Han showed his passport to prove that Han Hong was his real name.

After Feng Jun saved the tour group from a fire, Liu Yifei tried to learn who was behind the True Martial Emperor but was rebuffed by Han Hong. Sophia limited future rain protection to the Daoist Temple, sheltered the tourists who stayed overnight, and the chapter ended with news that a Xia Nation tourist had been bitten by a venomous spider.

• Liu Yifei asked Han Hong to help him pay respects to the person responsible for the rescue, but Han Hong said he was not qualified and refused to reveal who was in charge.
• Liu Yifei called home after Han Hong dismissed his family's wealth, and more than ten minutes later he was astonished by what he learned.
• Sophia told Feng Jun that the wild animals had gathered nearby and decided that the Rain-Praying Array would protect only the Daoist Temple from then on.
• After learning that rain had returned to town, Sophia arranged tents for the Xia Nation tourists who chose to stay by the Daoist Temple overnight.
• Sophia told the local residents to shoot wild animals if they believed the animals posed a danger, without making any promises to manage them.
• The travel agency reported the rescue to the embassy, then called again the next morning to say that a Xia Nation tourist had been bitten by a venomous spider.

Feng Jun drove dangerous animals away from the Daoist Temple, and the commotion awakened campers, leading to a local boy being bitten by a deadly spider. Sophia gave the boy a pill supplied by Feng Jun and declared the evil repelled, but his mother remained suspicious as the boy asked for water.

• Feng Jun used his pressure and Divine Sense to drive off or knock out wild animals approaching the Daoist Temple during the rain.
• The animals' commotion woke the campers, and a local nine-year-old boy was bitten by a Neil Funnel-Web Spider.
• Sophia learned that antivenom might not arrive in time, and Johnson brought her a white jade bottle containing a pill from Feng Jun.
• Sophia gave the boy the pill and declared, "I Declare... All Evil Repelled!" before returning to the Daoist Temple.
• The boy's mother challenged Sophia, but his father stopped her; when the boy asked for water, Liu Yifei refused to give him his opened bottle.

Liu Yifei and the others watched the Cohens’ son recover after taking Sophia’s pill, while an emergency doctor confirmed he was in good condition. The Cohens apologized to Sophia and asked about the pill, but she declined to explain its effects, leaving Mrs. Cohen eager to know whether her son’s venom had been fully cleared.

• The female doctor warned that the boy should not drink water, but Fourth Master Lin said it was all right, and the boy’s condition soon improved.
• An emergency doctor arrived, examined the spider and the boy, and confirmed that the boy appeared to be in good condition without antivenom.
• Mr. Cohen chose not to continue treatment, and he and his wife burned incense and stayed at the Daoist Temple to apologize to Sophia.
• Daoist Kent told the Cohens that the temple was a place of cultivation rather than a scenic attraction, and Mrs. Cohen donated one hundred Australian dollars.
• Sophia accepted Mrs. Cohen’s apology and said she would not discuss the pill because she was not licensed to practice medicine.
• Mr. Cohen argued that the pill could save lives, while Mrs. Cohen wondered whether her son’s toxins had been completely cleared.

Sophia rejected Cohen’s proposal to analyze the toxins and then refused to yield to the Public Welfare Organization’s campaign against the Taoist temple. After a legal defense of the temple’s believers, most media attacks stopped, but one Doke News Group editor fell into a coma after a car accident.

• Sophia reminded Cohen that her Jensen family owned Bairui Pharmaceuticals, ending his push to obtain samples for analysis.
• A Xia Nation tourist posted photos of the fire and animals near the Taoist temple, while Cohen praised Sophia online and drew attention to the temple’s role in the rescue.
• The Public Welfare Organization released a video accusing the temple of neglecting animals elsewhere, then organized protests that escalated into clashes with temple supporters.
• Sophia called on believers to resist, and they drove the organization’s protesters back in a larger confrontation the next day.
• In an interview, Sophia described the believers’ actions as self-defense at a religious venue and warned that malicious media would face justice, prompting most outlets to stop attacking the temple.
• Five days after the interview, an editor-in-chief from the Doke News Group suffered a car accident and fell into a deep coma.

After strange accidents silenced critics of the Daoist Temple, its scheduled rains made it a popular tourist destination, prompting visitors and local businesses to adapt. Fourth Master Lin asked Sophia about starting a hotel business, and she consulted Feng Jun, setting the stage for another disaster.

• A reporter who had attacked the Daoist Temple fell unconscious in a car, and his colleague suspected retaliation, while police declined to act on speculation.
• A television host apologized for criticizing the Daoist Temple, then took a fall in a mysteriously wet restroom and later made a solemn apology on his program.
• The controversy faded as Alansmu's twice-daily rains drew tourists and wild animals, while the government rejected proposals to channel the runoff.
• Sophia fenced off her land to protect the Daoist Temple's sacred grounds, and locals built free viewing platforms as RV owners began offering overnight stays.
• Fourth Master Lin asked Sophia whether he could enter the hotel business, and she consulted Feng Jun about arrangements, unexpectedly brewing another disaster.

Fourth Master Lin opened container-home lodging near the Daoist Temple, while RV owners attracted budget travelers by turning their vehicles into youth hostels. After a record New Year’s Day crowd, a camper developed alarming symptoms, and a Neil University medical student identified the illness as plague.

• Fourth Master Lin partnered with Boss Wang's crew to bring container homes to the mountain and rent them out at low prices.
• An RV owner launched a youth hostel, prompting other RV owners to follow as student tourism grew.
• Red Sister advised Fourth Master Lin not to start a price war, and his lodgings drew more Xia tourists while the hostels mainly served local visitors.
• By New Year's Day, more than three thousand visitors came to the Daoist Temple, overwhelming the youth hostels and filling Fourth Master Lin's lodgings.
• A camper developed a high fever, chills, and swollen groin lymph nodes after being bitten the previous day.
• A short Neil University medical student examined the bite and declared that the camper had plague.

A suspected plague case outside the Daoist Temple sent the visitors and engineering team into panic, while Feng Jun and Sophia assessed the situation. Sophia offered to treat the patient and promised Doctor Wang protection if he helped, leaving him to decide whether to risk treating the man.

• A medical student suspected that a sick student had bubonic plague, prompting people to retreat and call for quarantine and help.
• The engineering team doctor examined the patient from a distance, judged plague highly likely, and handed him medicated oil and antibiotics while ordering precautions.
• Ruth reported the outbreak to Sophia, who hurried to Feng Jun and asked whether he could handle plague.
• Feng Jun arrived at the scene and began assessing the patient and those nearby.
• Sophia approached the patient, learned he had been bitten in Cairns, and offered to treat him if he agreed to worship the Three Pure Ones for life.
• Sophia asked Doctor Wang to inject the patient and promised him a protective talisman, and Doctor Wang asked whether he would be compensated if he became infected.

Sophia and Feng Jun contained a Plague outbreak at the mountain gathering, identifying virus carriers and treating the infected patient. The crowd remained under control as rain fell to disinfect them, while checkpoints blocked the road down the mountain.

• Sophia offered Wang compensation to inject the Plague patient, and Wang administered the injection while Ruth confirmed the outbreak to the Police Bureau.
• Sophia used Thunderclap Talismans to stop three people from leaving, then ordered the crowd and camper-van owners to remain and provide guest lists.
• Feng Jun's investigation revealed nineteen potential virus carriers, and Sophia identified them and told them to cooperate with treatment.
• Sophia gathered the carriers inside a circle and declared that all evil was repelled, then announced that the Daoist Temple's rain would help disinfect and prevent infection.
• Rain fell over the gathering, the Xia people disinfected vehicles and belongings, and checkpoints blocked people trying to leave the mountain after seven.

After the plague quarantine raised the Daoist Temple’s profile, Feng Jun focused on plans to transfer basic industry to the Phone Plane and considered overseas Daoist Temples. Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan invited him to inspect nine potential sites, arguing that they should make use of overseas earth veins.

• The Leo Kingdom quarantined the Daoist Temple for three days, while Sophia refused inspectors and later rejected the Great Barrier Reef’s request to test plague bacteria with Alansmu rainwater.
• Feng Jun returned from the Spirit Stone Mine with Red Sister and Good Scenery, then selected Cao Rui and Zhang Guofeng’s proposal as first place and Zhao Mingshun’s as second, awarding Liu Menglong two hundred thousand.
• Red Sister volunteered to procure obsolete production equipment for Feng Jun’s Phone Plane project and left Luo Hua with Good Scenery and Tang Wenji.
• Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan arrived with Yan Siwei to ask Feng Jun to inspect nine overseas sites for Daoist Temples.
• Dong Zenghong argued that overseas Daoist Temples should use excellent earth veins before foreigners wasted them, leaving Feng Jun taken aback.

Feng Jun joined Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Zenghong to survey overseas sites for an Allure Sect Daoist temple, while discovering that Bell's Mountain held powerful Earth Veins. After inspecting eleven locations without finding a clear choice, the group began returning through Teutonia, where Zhang Dongyuan proposed checking a site in Poland.

• Feng Jun agreed that the Allure Sect could establish an overseas temple, but stressed that its abbess had to be reliable.
• Feng Jun declined to travel abroad with Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Zenghong by plane, then flew to their meeting point that night and surveyed Bell's Mountain's powerful Earth Veins.
• Feng Jun met Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Zenghong, and the three inspected a temple site near Bell's Mountain before traveling to Teutonia the next day.
• Over two weeks, the group examined eleven locations, but none satisfied them; Zhang Dongyuan favored Lu'er Nation and Teutonia, while Dong Zenghong preferred a site near the Red Sea.
• After returning to Teutonia, Zhang Dongyuan suggested that they inspect a feng shui site in Poland.

Feng Jun traveled with Zhang Dongyuan and Dong Zenghong to survey a site in Poland, accompanied by She Zhijun, who hoped to meet him and improve her cultivation. After an evening of hotpot and drinking in his Traveling Residence, She Zhijun drunkenly declared she would go sleep with Feng Jun, prompting him to leave the residence.

• She Zhijun welcomed Feng Jun and his companions in Poland and sought an introduction to him because she wanted to cultivate.
• Feng Jun and the others traveled nearly three hundred kilometers to survey a site, then spent the night in his Traveling Residence.
• Feng Jun prepared hotpot, and She Zhijun drank baijiu with the group before continuing with beer.
• She Zhijun asked about the Traveling Residence and Feng Jun's abilities, then loudly announced she would go sleep with him after finishing her drink.
• Feng Jun heard her declaration, left the Traveling Residence, and went outside.

Feng Jun sensed that the snowy site in Poland might conceal a Spirit Stone Mine, but planned to leave a Footprint and return later. She Zhijun found him outside, tried to seduce him, and then argued that Poland was unsuitable for a Daoist temple.

• Feng Jun sensed that the woods might contain a Spirit Stone Mine and considered returning to Luohua Manor while leaving a Footprint behind.
• She Zhijun came out to find Feng Jun and asked whether he was an Innate Expert after seeing him fly.
• Feng Jun gave She Zhijun a military overcoat and told her to go back, but she stayed beside him.
• She Zhijun said Poland was unsuitable for a Daoist temple because Poles were xenophobic and hostile to outsiders.
• She Zhijun kissed Feng Jun and urged him to hold her, but he pulled away and reminded her that they had agreed to be restrained.
• She Zhijun asked whether Feng Jun liked her and said she was useful.

Feng Jun used the snowfall to secretly search for a Spirit Stone Mine in Poland, finding one nearly seven thousand meters underground before deciding to leave it untouched for now. He returned to the Traveling Residence and told Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan that the area likely was not suitable for a Daoist Temple, while Dong Zenghong scrutinized the place where Feng Jun had dug.

• Feng Jun put the intoxicated She Zhijun to bed and learned from Zhang Dongyuan that she had admired him and helped fund the overseas Daoist Temple to meet him.
• Feng Jun waited for the snowfall to intensify, then dug underground and discovered a Spirit Stone Mine nearly seven thousand meters below the surface.
• Feng Jun decided not to bring the Seven Stars Formation from the Leo Kingdom and returned to the surface, where he found too little snow to conceal his digging.
• Feng Jun mostly refilled the pit and spread snow over the area, but left traces that could be noticed on close inspection.
• Feng Jun told Dong Zenghong and Zhang Dongyuan that the location was probably unsuitable for a Daoist Temple, and Dong Zenghong used binoculars to examine the disturbed area.
