Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun explained that he wanted to improve ordinary food production and develop industry, surprising Yan Yuxi with her awareness that most cultivators could not afford spirit grain. He took her to Thunder Plains, arranged cooperation and a divination for Pan Renjie, and left spirit stone raw ore with a Tiantong branch to be priced.

• Feng Jun said he would offer his mundane agricultural technology to someone else if the others were not interested, and Yan Yuxi asked what technology he meant.
• Feng Jun explained that fertilizer and pesticide plants could raise food output and free labor for other work, while Yan Yuxi said ordinary food mattered because most cultivators could not afford spirit grain.
• Yan Yuxi asked to accompany Feng Jun to Thunder Plains to learn about industrialization, and he agreed before teleporting there with her.
• Feng Jun found Pan Renjie and Shangguan Yunjin supervising Spirit Stone Generator production, performed a divination for Pan Renjie, and invited the Pan Clan and Shangguan's clan to discuss projects at Liba Beach.
• Feng Jun asked Tiantong's Huangfu Clan branch to spread news and handed over spirit stone raw ore for pricing, prompting Yan Yuxi to ask why he did not process it himself and whether he feared the information would leak.

Feng Jun continued protecting information about the Spirit Stone Mine while overseeing cultivation and business matters at Luohua. In Alansmu, he sensed the Stone Ring nearby and confronted the visitors who had brought Xia Nation antiques, ending as Paul challenged his identity and intentions.

• Feng Jun kept raw Spirit Stone ore from the Yan Clan and arranged to turn it into standard Spirit Stones to conceal the mine's location.
• Shen Qingyi advanced to Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and the Little Celestial Master required her to remain at Luo Hua for another ten years.
• Feng Jun approved Liu Menglong's business plans and told him he could choose his partners, while Red Sister promised President Li fair competition.
• Sophia contacted Feng Jun after four visitors arrived in Alansmu asking about Mr. F and offering antiques; Feng Jun sensed the Stone Ring nearby and went to inspect them.
• Paul stopped Feng Jun from opening the antiques case and questioned Sophia about Mr. F's past claim that he was a Chinese nationalist.

Feng Jun revealed his transformed appearance to Paul, Fernandez, Laura, and Selena, then accepted Paul’s antiques and identified a Stone Ring among the copper coins. As the group prepared to leave, Sophia told Feng Jun that Fernandez had come to ask for help for his uncle, who had advanced liver cancer.

• Feng Jun transformed his appearance and told Paul that he was Mr. F, while refusing to consider the Red Sea for now.
• Laura thanked Feng Jun for curing her spinal illness, and Selena asked him to treat another person with spinal problems; Feng Jun quoted a fee starting at one hundred million Mairui dollars.
• Paul opened a suitcase of Xia Nation antiques, and Feng Jun picked out a Stone Ring mixed among the copper coins and put it in his pocket.
• Feng Jun asked Sophia to assess the remaining antiques, but Sophia stopped him and explained that Fernandez had an uncle with advanced liver cancer and wanted help reaching a Xia Nation treatment center.

Fernandez asked Mr. F to arrange treatment at Luo Hua for his uncle, but Feng Jun refused unless the chance of success was at least seventy percent before agreeing to an examination. After learning the Fourth Stone Ring's origin was unknown, Feng Jun tested it and discovered its detection range had greatly expanded, though its other changes remained unclear.

• Fernandez asked Feng Jun to help his uncle receive treatment at Luo Hua, and Feng Jun warned that the two prior liver transplants made the case uncertain.
• Fernandez said his uncle would accept even a ten percent chance, but Feng Jun refused to treat him unless the odds reached seventy percent; he eventually agreed to an examination at Luo Hua.
• Paul searched for the Stone Ring's origins but found no one who knew where it came from, and Feng Jun selected a few antiques while leaving the rest with Sophia.
• Feng Jun went to Bell's Mountain to test the Fourth Ring, then returned to Luohua Manor three days later with its detection radius increased to 1,200 meters for people and 12,000 meters for items.

Feng Jun explored two Spirit Stone mines with the upgraded Stone Ring, then withdrew from one when a warning signaled danger. After returning to the Phone Plane to sell mass-production machines, he hosted powerful cultivators whose families wanted to ensure Feng Jun remembered their visit.

• Feng Jun found Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in the Leo Kingdom mine and Mid-Grade and Upper Spirit Stones in the Polish mine, but a danger warning stopped him from searching the Polish deposit further.
• Feng Jun returned to Luo Hua, where Red Sister prepared equipment and operating instructions for sale in the Phone Plane.
• Feng Jun brought his group into the Phone Plane, met Yan Yuxi, and returned to Liba Beach as word spread that he would sell machines for producing mundane goods.
• After more than two months, representatives of major sects, platforms, peaks, valleys, and Golden Core families arrived to buy the machines.
• Cai Adept questioned why his ancestor had come in person, and Xu Adept explained that their families wanted Feng Jun to remember that they had shown up.

Xu Adept and Cai Adept discussed why powerful families attended Feng Jun’s equipment sale: they wanted to acknowledge his formidable Divination and avoid being remembered among those who stayed away. As Zhan Xiu gathered around the sale and Yan Yuxi argued for industrializing mortal production, she suggested that freed laborers might cultivate, forcing Yan Yufeng to reconsider the consequences.

• Xu Adept told Cai Adept that the families came to make themselves known to Feng Jun, whose Divination could kill one person and save another.
• Feng Jun’s promotional event drew buyers who cared more about winning equipment than what they would do with it, while Zhan Xiu showed serious interest in industrialization.
• More than three thousand Zhan Xiu gathered at Liba Beach, divided into factions, and began forming alliances with Thunder Cultivators, sects, and families.
• Yan Yuxi sought to acquire and operate fertilizer plants, but Yan Yufeng objected that she should focus on cultivation rather than mortal goods.
• Yan Yuxi argued that industrial production could free laborers to manufacture communications equipment or cultivate, and Yan Yufeng stopped mid-sentence when he realized cultivation could affect the Yan Clan.

Yuxi argued that the Yan Clan should control a fertilizer plant to gain influence over cultivation resources, while Feng Jun returned from selling industrial equipment to improve his plans for Kunhao. He agreed to treat the critically ill Francisco for one course’s fee and arranged for Huahua to study his extreme case, leaving Liu Yuting to report that the Visigoths had accepted the two-hundred-million-Mairui-Dollar price.

• Yuxi persuaded Yufeng that the Yan Clan should try to control the planned fertilizer plant, and Feng Jun spent nearly half a month selling production equipment in Kunhao.
• Three months later, Feng Jun brought the Earth Spirit to Bell's Mountain and handed over 3.6 million Spirit Stones before returning to Luohua Manor to refine the industrial project.
• Liu Yuting told Feng Jun that Fernandez had brought his critically ill uncle Francisco to Yang City, and Feng Jun's Divination gave Francisco only a forty-percent chance of survival, rising to a little over sixty percent with a Foundation-Nourishing Pill.
• Feng Jun asked Huahua to treat Francisco alongside the next batch so she could study an extreme case, and he insisted on charging only for one course because he owed Francisco's family a favor.
• Huahua asked Liu Yuting to emphasize a regular schedule, and Liu Yuting later told Feng Jun that the Visigoths had agreed to pay two hundred million Mairui Dollars.

Francisco recovered after two courses of treatment at Feng Jun’s nursing center and left for Mairui Country with his wife and nephew. After landing, the Intelligence Bureau detained them to question Francisco about what he had seen in Xia Nation, and Fernandez called Paul for help.

• Francisco insisted on paying two hundred million Mairui dollars for treatment, and Feng Jun agreed to refund one hundred million if Francisco died during it.
• Liu Yuting admitted Francisco to the nursing center early, where he spent three days before beginning treatment with the next group.
• After two courses of treatment, Francisco recovered and left the center with his wife and nephew, having grown suspicious that livestream host Lin Heihu was not human.
• On the flight to Mairui Country, Francisco and Fernandez discussed his recovery and the company’s falling stock price while a flight attendant listened strangely.
• After landing, Intelligence Bureau agents detained Francisco, his wife, and Fernandez, then demanded to know what Francisco had experienced in Xia Nation.
• Fernandez called Paul for help while Francisco refused to answer questions without his lawyer.

After his release from the Intelligence Bureau, Francisco decided to build a Daoist Temple in Visigoth in defiance of the bureau, but learned from Sophia that he could only afford a smaller, jointly funded one. Meanwhile, Liu Menglong expanded his secondhand-equipment business with President Li and earned a profit on their first major deal.

• Francisco was released on bail after Paul intervened, then went to a hospital where doctors were astonished by his recovery after treatment at Luo Hua.
• Angered by the Intelligence Bureau's treatment, Francisco decided to build a Daoist Temple in Visigoth, believing the bureau would target him again if he did nothing.
• Francisco and Fernandez visited Sophia's Daoist Temple in Leo Kingdom, where Sophia advised Francisco to seek joint investment and suggested contacting Luo Hua through Tagore's livestream.
• Liu Menglong bought equipment from two local factories, stored it in an abandoned mine shaft, and later collected cash from Red Sister after the equipment disappeared.
• Liu Menglong and President Li agreed to split the deal's profit, with President Li taking five hundred thousand plus errand fees, and President Li began negotiating further equipment purchases.

Liu Menglong’s secondhand-equipment business expanded rapidly, with Red Sister and Team Leader Lin helping him source and finance purchases. Red Sister assured him Luo Hua could accept equipment worth up to 30 billion, leaving Liu and President Li to weigh the project’s vast potential against how long it might last.

• President Li found Liu Menglong a factory selling usable Three Hands equipment for 1.3 million, and offered to arrange its refurbishment.
• Liu Menglong bought more than 80 million worth of equipment in a month, then rented a South Mountain warehouse through Team Leader Lin, who also exposed overpayments on two earlier purchases.
• Liu Menglong kept President Li involved despite Team Leader Lin’s cheaper financing, deciding that having both competitors involved offered protection.
• Liu Menglong’s purchases reached 370 million in a month, while he and Red Sister had spent more than 800 million combined in two months.
• President Li asked how long Luo Hua’s equipment-buying project could continue, so Liu Menglong called Red Sister for a limit.
• Red Sister said Luo Hua would accept equipment worth up to 30 billion, and President Li estimated the opportunity might last about two years while earning him millions each month.

Feng Jun approved an unlimited acquisition of usable secondhand equipment, saying he would use gold if necessary, but insisted that Luo Hua pay reasonable prices. The chapter ended with President Li realizing that Luo Hua’s buying efforts had encouraged sellers to hold out for higher prices.

• Red Sister consulted Zhang Caixin and Good Scenery about the equipment budget, and Good Scenery argued that Feng Jun could spend far more to eliminate useless production capacity.
• Feng Jun joined their discussion and said Luo Hua would buy all genuine, usable secondhand equipment without an upper spending limit, using gold if cash ran short.
• Feng Jun explained that acquiring equipment would eventually create shortages and raise prices, so he told Red Sister to suspend purchases if sellers tried to exploit the demand.
• Red Sister relayed Feng Jun’s pricing warning to Liu Menglong, who hurried to inform President Li.
• President Li realized that Luo Hua’s demand had driven sellers to keep their prices high, and he cursed that they had caused the market increase.

Lin Beauty and President Li’s used-equipment business faltered in Funiu Prefecture, so Liu Menglong expanded into more distant provinces and later secured a valuable batch of equipment. Meanwhile, Feng Jun helped the Allure Sect choose Lu'er Nation for its overseas religious site, while Francisco decided to visit Xia Nation and investigate the sect.

• Lin Beauty’s group withdrew from negotiations after state-owned manufacturers delayed sales and outside pressure challenged their prices.
• Liu Menglong left Funiu Prefecture to seek equipment elsewhere and later acquired 130 million worth of good used equipment.
• Feng Jun asked Sophia to compare Lu'er Nation and Teutonia, then relayed her recommendation to Zhang Dongyuan, who chose Lu'er Nation for the Allure Sect’s overseas site.
• Feng Jun told Fernandez that Visigoth could join the Allure Sect’s site as a branch, but Fernandez wanted a Luo Hua site and agreed to consult Francisco.
• Francisco contacted Zhang Dongyuan and decided to travel to Xia Nation to see the Allure Sect, while leaving the stock buyback to his traders.

Francisco visited Allure Mountain, where Zhang Dongyuan discussed the Daoist Order and Mr. F with the Visigoths. At Bell's Mountain, Feng Jun witnessed the Earth Veins' restoration and confronted the Earth Spirit over its Spirit Stone expenses, then learned it wanted more work.

• Francisco sensed the Daoist Order's aura near the locked Spirit-Gathering Formation Plate, and Zhang Dongyuan told him about its connection to Luo Hua and Mr. F.
• Zhang Dongyuan told Fernandez that Mr. F should be on the Western Continent, while Feng Jun was actually at Bell's Mountain observing the Earth Spirit's work.
• Feng Jun watched the Earth Veins across Bell's Mountain fully reconnect and felt the mountain's energy change as heaven and earth seemed to rejoice.
• Feng Jun questioned the Earth Spirit about its use of more than three million Spirit Stones and ordered it to return one hundred and fifty thousand after nurturing the Earth Veins for three months.
• The Earth Spirit protested that it did not need to stay at Bell's Mountain to nurture the Earth Veins and asked Feng Jun for other work.

Feng Jun managed the Earth Spirit and prepared Luo Hua for the Cinnabar Cloud Heaven Secret Realm trials, while Liu Menglong’s secondhand equipment purchases slowed after speculative buyers began entering the market. The chapter ended with President Li unable to approach the powerful newcomers directly and urging Liu Menglong to contact Team Leader Lin.

• Feng Jun ordered the Earth Spirit to remain at the reshaped Earth Vein, confirmed that the nearby Daoist Temple would not be affected, and promised rewards for useful work.
• Guan Shanyue refused Jade Ruins entry to the Secret Realm unless they paid one hundred Spirit Stones per slot, and Yu Kun backed down after learning the realm had an Artifact Spirit.
• Feng Jun sent Zhang Caixin and Gazi to assist at the Secret Realm and assigned Little Celestial Master to Leo Kingdom, while Luo Hua focused on industrial equipment.
• Liu Menglong expanded his secondhand equipment purchases with help from classmates, but sellers began holding out for higher prices after a price alliance formed.
• President Li learned that businessmen from Hui Province were buying secondhand equipment to speculate, then urged Liu Menglong to communicate with Team Leader Lin after she refused to get involved.

Liu Menglong and Feng Jun lured speculators into buying secondhand equipment at inflated prices, then abruptly stopped purchasing and let the market collapse. Rumors that Luo Hua was investing in railways and assembly plants deepened the crash, leaving the speculators in a panic.

• Liu Menglong rejected the speculators’ demand for a twenty-percent markup, and Red Sister learned they wanted access to Feng Jun.
• Feng Jun refused to meet the speculators and told Red Sister to have Liu Menglong gradually raise his purchase prices before suddenly stopping.
• Liu Menglong raised prices in stages, drawing speculators into a secondhand-equipment market whose transaction volume exceeded ten billion.
• Liu Menglong announced he was ending secondhand-equipment trading, then went abroad with President Li as prices fell and speculators argued over whether the decline was a trap.
• Lin Beauty confirmed Luo Hua had halted secondhand-equipment purchases, and rumors about its railway and assembly-plant orders triggered a steep market collapse.

Feng Jun halted used-equipment purchases after speculative capital tried to disrupt his acquisitions, redirecting his funds toward railway construction in the Mortal World. When Wang Li approached Feng Wenhui on behalf of the speculators, Feng Jun confronted him and imposed consequences, then went after the people who had recruited him.

• Feng Jun decided that he could stop buying used equipment and invest the funds in railways, causing used-equipment prices to plunge.
• As speculators pressured people connected to Luo Hua, Zhang Junyi used a Teleportation Array Disc to warn Feng Jun that they had approached Feng Wenhui through Wang Li.
• Feng Jun went to Wang Li's home with Dou Jiahui and confronted him about trying to interfere in a business worth several billion.
• Feng Jun ordered Wang Li, his wife, and child to stay in a residence in Chaori and close their shops for two months.
• Feng Jun searched for the man who had recruited Wang Li, but found him wandering on the street.

Feng Jun’s retaliation drove the speculative-capital instigators away from his family and toward Luo Hua, prompting Liu Yuting to seek a blacklist and investor information from Lin Beauty. Their cooperation turned into a dispute over nursing slots, leaving Liu Yuting and Lin Beauty at odds.

• Feng Jun hit the man who had been wandering near his family with an unlicensed car, and the injured man fled to Jiangxia while Wang Li’s family disappeared.
• The Police Bureau investigated Wang Li’s disappearance, but Wang Li called his sister from Chaori and persuaded her to withdraw the missing-person report.
• After the speculative-capital organizers approached Liu Yuting’s father, Liu Yuting went to Red Sister and decided to compile a blacklist with Lin Beauty’s help.
• Lin Beauty agreed to provide information on the organizers and investors with more than ten million invested, but she rebuked Liu Yuting for meddling.
• Liu Yuting threatened to affect nursing slots after Lin Beauty insulted her, and Lin Beauty became anxious about the consequences.

Lin Beauty gave Liu Yuting a list of people tied to equipment speculation, and Feng Jun used divination to choose five targets for Soul Search. The secondhand equipment market crashed after Liu Yuting announced the Cancer Care Center blacklist, while Shangguan Shenxue sought treatment for her malignant tumor at Weiyu Heavenly Grotto, whose temple faced a dispute over its operating rights.

• Lin Beauty and Madam Wang exchanged insults and parted on bad terms, then Lin Beauty handed Liu Yuting the list and materials.
• After the training group returned, Liu Yuting told Feng Jun about the list, and he asked Lin Beauty and Chen Shengwang to help investigate who had been omitted.
• Feng Jun used Nearby People's Names to divine the list, selected five names, and assigned Lin Heihu and Chen Shengwang to Soul Search them.
• Liu Yuting's blacklist announcement sent secondhand equipment prices plunging, leaving speculators fleeing the market.
• Shangguan Shenxue sought a treatment slot for her malignant intestinal tumor at Weiyu Heavenly Grotto, while local officials tried to claim the newly built Daoist Temple's operating rights.

Shangguan Shenxue learned that the Cancer Care Center had blacklisted her sister Shangguan Dieyi and her relatives, disqualifying her from treatment despite her one-million donation offer. The blacklist left the gathered investors suspecting an economic dispute, while Daoist Guo insisted they learn the facts before judging the Center.

• Elder Guo had secured Weiyu Heavenly Grotto's Daoist Temple by arranging Cancer treatment slots, and cured patients returned to support the temple.
• Shangguan Shenxue offered one million for a ritual to advance her place in the treatment queue, but Daoist Guo refused to recommend her after learning her sister was blacklisted.
• Daoist Guo showed Shangguan Shenxue the confidential blacklist, which included Shangguan Dieyi and several close relatives, including Shangguan Shenxue.
• Shangguan Shenxue's companions recognized many names on the list as investors and suspected the blacklist stemmed from an economic dispute.
• Daoist Guo defended the Nursing Center's reasonableness, while Shangguan Shenxue's daughter-in-law criticized its five-million treatment cost.

Shangguan Shenxue learned that her sister Shangguan Dieyi’s investment in secondhand equipment had gotten her blacklisted from the Yang City Cancer Care Center. She arranged a costly ritual so Daoist Guo could discreetly appeal her case, but the news spread and investors traced the blacklist to Liu Menglong and President Li.

• Shangguan Shenxue confronted Shangguan Dieyi after learning that her sister’s investment had caused her to be blacklisted from cancer treatment.
• Shangguan Dieyi revealed that she had invested forty million through Jieyi in a scheme involving secondhand equipment and was panicking over the market collapse.
• Shangguan Shenxue’s sister told her that Liu Menglong’s equipment-buying project had stalled after the buyer withdrew, leaving investors with equipment and purchase-right deposits.
• Shangguan Shenxue offered Daoist Guo five hundred thousand for a ritual and asked him to discreetly pass along a request to the Care Center.
• News of Shangguan Shenxue’s blacklist spread, and investors concluded that Liu Menglong or President Li had retaliated against Shangguan Dieyi.
