Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun developed electric-powered formations and inspected the renovated Earth Vein at Chaori, where a Big White Goose claimed the lake as its territory. After returning to Luo Hua, he told the Earth Spirit that the plane was undergoing a revival, leaving it doubtful but too wary to challenge him.

• Feng Jun declined to attend Cinnabar Cloud Heaven’s sermon and sent Lin Heihu to help instead while he continued researching electric-powered arrays.
• Feng Jun completed an electric-powered Spirit-Gathering Formation after weeks of research and equipment testing, just as Chaori’s Earth Vein renovation finished.
• Feng Jun inspected the new Spirit Land, left a Spirit Stone-powered Defensive Formation to protect his parents, and rejected the Big White Goose’s claim to the lake.
• Feng Jun paid the Earth Spirit forty thousand Spirit Stones and promised to pay the remaining ten thousand later.
• The Earth Spirit asked whether the plane was a Dharma-Ending Plane, and Feng Jun said it was undergoing a revival.

Feng Jun completed an electric-powered Defensive Formation and warned the Earth Spirit against harming people on Blue Star. In the Leo Kingdom, Sophia discovered a listening device hidden in a generator and summoned the distributor to answer for it.

• Feng Jun tested the Electric-Powered Defensive Formation, and the Earth Spirit realized electrical energy could support formations.
• The Earth Spirit suggested abducting people to make them produce electricity, so Feng Jun threatened to kill it if it harmed anyone.
• Feng Jun went to the Leo Kingdom, where Sophia showed him the generator she had bought as a backup power source.
• Feng Jun found a listening device hidden beneath the generator’s nameplate, and Sophia detained the installers and demanded that their employer come.
• Sophia removed the nameplate on camera and confronted the distributor with the hidden chip.

Sophia demanded that the dealer identify whoever had tampered with the Daoist Temple’s equipment, then agreed that Feng Jun should retaliate against the Investigation Bureau and Intelligence Bureau leaders. Feng Jun replaced two temple formations and headed to Silver City to pursue three fleeing suspects, but their flight was delayed.

• Sophia refused to accept the dealer’s offer of equipment service and replacement, insisting that he name the people who had tampered with the generator or face consequences.
• The dealer gave Feng Jun a list of suspects, but three of them escaped aboard a flight to Mairui Country before Feng Jun could investigate them.
• Feng Jun asked Sophia whether he should kill the heads of the Investigation Bureau and Intelligence Bureau, and she agreed after requesting another Blood Essence Protective Talisman.
• Sophia also wanted the three fleeing suspects killed, but Feng Jun argued that striking the organizations’ leaders would hurt them more than targeting their subordinates.
• Feng Jun switched the Daoist Temple’s Spirit-Gathering and Defensive Formations to electric power, kept the Rain-Praying Array stone-powered, and prepared to replace the Devotion Test Formation.
• Feng Jun flew to Silver City to intercept the three suspects, but learned at the airport that their flight had been delayed.

Feng Jun used Soul Search to confirm the leaders of the Investigation Bureau and Intelligence Bureau were involved in the surveillance of Sophia, then killed a senator linked to them. Mairui Country planned to recruit Sophia through a handsome-man trap, and Daniel began approaching her at the Daoist Temple.

• Feng Jun had Chen Shengwang search the souls of the two captured bureau leaders, confirming their agencies’ roles in bugging Sophia’s Daoist Temple.
• Sophia agreed that Feng Jun should target a Leo Kingdom senator, and Feng Jun killed him with a Divine Sense attack as he traveled by plane.
• The Investigation Bureau learned that its official and the Intelligence Bureau official had become idiots, while the senator had died, and the agencies decided to approach Sophia with a handsome-man trap.
• The Intelligence Bureau sent Daniel to the Daoist Temple, where he befriended Fourth Master Lin and other Daoist Order members before approaching Sophia.
• After Sophia rejected him, Daniel returned with a drawing board, and Daisy told him that a Daoist lecture would give him another chance to see her.

Sophia used Feng Jun’s new Devotion Test Formation at the Alansmu Daoist temple and discovered that Daniel’s low devotion conflicted with his public pursuit of her. Feng Jun recognized Daniel as suspicious, while Daniel remained unaware and stayed nearby after failing to make the list of lucky worshippers.

• Sophia opened the Alansmu Daoist temple to worshippers and had them fill out forms while the new test formation recorded their favorability indicators.
• Sophia spotted Daniel’s low favorability toward Xia Nation, the Daoist Order, and the Daoist temple, despite his high favorability toward her.
• Sophia suspected Daniel was hiding something and contacted Feng Jun through Divine Sense.
• Feng Jun reviewed Daniel’s results, called him suspicious, and told Sophia to enlarge his portrait for further investigation.
• Daniel was not among the thirty lucky people announced that afternoon, but he stayed at a container hotel and sang to display his romantic nature.

Daniel tried to build a cheerful, romantic persona while staying near Sophia, and Feng Jun and Lin Heihu discussed why Sophia distrusted him. After the Daoist temple’s visitors received their outcomes and began leaving, Feng Jun let Daniel walk away into the rain while hinting that he could not truly escape.

• Daniel led the partygoers away from the hotel, while Feng Jun let him stay there because he suspected Daniel had an ulterior motive involving Sophia.
• Feng Jun and Lin Heihu discussed Sophia’s low favorability toward Daniel and argued over her appearance and beauty standards.
• The Daoist temple’s visitors woke after the rain, and the temple upheld its decision that a man should give his half-sister one-fifth of their inheritance.
• The visitors left after receiving their outcomes, including a deaf tycoon’s son who was excited to be able to hear without a hearing aid.
• Daniel asked Daisy whether he could paint the rainy scenery, then left after lamenting that he could not paint it.
• The Earth God asked whether Daniel could be allowed to leave, and Feng Jun replied that Daniel could not get away.

Feng Jun killed Daniel after discovering he was working for a former superior, and the resulting investigation stirred a scandal in Lu'er Nation. Back in Luo Hua, Daoist leaders pressed Feng Jun about an electric-powered Spirit-Gathering Formation, and he revealed that he had already built a prototype in Leo Kingdom, though its materials were exceptionally rare.

• Feng Jun captured Daniel in Snowmire, learned through a Soul Search that Daniel had accepted a covert assignment, and drowned him in the Na River.
• The Intelligence Bureau traced Daniel's disappearance, while the discovery of an Aite-marked object on his body triggered public demands for an investigation in Lu'er Nation.
• Daoist leaders from several branches gathered outside Luo Hua after noticing the annex's rising electricity use and suspecting Feng Jun had built an electric-powered Spirit-Gathering Formation.
• Feng Jun received the Daoists at a pavilion and confirmed that he had made a working prototype in the Alansmu temple in Leo Kingdom.
• Zhang Dongyuan offered the Allure Sect's help in finding the materials, and Feng Jun said they were even harder to find than Spirit Stones.

Feng Jun negotiated with the Daoist sects over access to Luo Hua’s cultivation formations and testing arrays, setting conditions for the Daoist Order’s overseas outreach and shared resources. He left the sect leaders to decide how the loaned formations would be distributed and rotated.

• Feng Jun refused to provide formations for free, but agreed to lend Allure Sect an Electric Spirit-Gathering Formation after Zhang Dongyuan described its overseas Branch Academy.
• Feng Jun set standards for overseas outreach, and Tang Celestial Master proposed that Azure Mountain establish a Branch Academy in Southeast Asia.
• Dong Zenghong proposed a large shared Spirit-Gathering Formation at Luo Hua, and Feng Jun agreed while requiring the sects to cover its expenses.
• Feng Jun offered two more Spirit-Gathering Formations for the next Dragon Gate Assemblies, along with three Aptitude Testing Formations and three Faithfulness Arrays for the Daoist sects to safeguard.
• Feng Jun allowed the loaned formations to be moved and rotated, then the sect leaders asked him to make the final allocation decisions.

Feng Jun arranged a new Blessing Courtyard for Daoist Order disciples and discussed his leadership and influence with Yang Yuxin. When Lin Beauty came to negotiate for loyalty-measuring devices and Spirit-Gathering Formations, Feng Jun set strict limits and prices, then questioned whether the formations would truly remain under national defense control.

• Feng Jun declined to distribute the formations himself and told the Daoist Order members to agree on fair rules, then asked Yang Yuxin to build another Blessing Courtyard.
• Yang Yuxin worried that Feng Jun was becoming too prominent, but Feng Jun said he was qualified to lead the Daoist Order and expected someone to approach him soon.
• Lin Beauty told Feng Jun that Mei Jin had been reassigned as a First-Level Researcher, then asked to buy loyalty-measuring devices.
• Feng Jun offered five devices as a donation and refused to supply more without payment, citing limited capacity and concerns about reverse-engineering.
• Lin Beauty requested Spirit-Gathering Formations, and Feng Jun offered two for national defense while setting a prohibitive price for any additional sets.
• Lin Beauty agreed that the formations should help soldiers cultivate, but Feng Jun said he could not be fully reassured and asked why she thought he was giving her two.

Feng Jun's donation of formations prompted the Daoist Association to organize Daoist lineages and allocate places at Luo Hua's nearly completed Cultivation Courtyard. Martial Ancestor and other Daoist Orders competed for the limited slots, while the chapter ended with Zhang Dongyuan asking whether Allure Sect could practice Thunder Arts there instead of cultivating Spirit Plants.

• Lin Beauty questioned why Feng Jun was giving away two Spirit-Gathering Formations, and Feng Jun refused to file a report about the Daoist Order exchange.
• The Daoist Association convened Daoist lineages to assess who could receive formations and briefed recipients that they might need to share them.
• Luo Hua handed its first two Electric-Powered Spirit-Gathering Formations to Lin Beauty and delayed distributing five Devotion Testing Formations while it considered recipients' needs.
• As the Cultivation Courtyard neared completion, Daoist Orders competed for its limited places, and Feng Jun announced that Luo Hua would make the final selection of 120 people from 360 candidates.
• Martial Ancestor pushed for at least twelve places because its Spirit Plants grew well near Spirit-Gathering Formations and the courtyard offered spirit fields.
• Zhang Dongyuan objected that Allure Sect was not suited to growing Spirit Plants and asked whether its members could practice Thunder Arts instead.

Good Scenery rejected sects’ requests to alter the Cultivation Courtyard, while Mei Jin gave Red Citadel Grotto genuine Crimson Flame Lotus Seeds and earned the sect an extra cultivation slot. The Blessing Courtyard opened to referred worshippers, and Lin Heihu began responding to their prayers in dreams.

• Teacher Mei told Zhang Dongyuan that Thunder Arts could not be safely confined to the Cultivation Courtyard, and Good Scenery rejected Red Citadel Grotto’s request to add fire attribute energy to its spirit fields.
• Mei Jin gave Red Citadel Grotto two genuine Crimson Flame Lotus Seeds and a piece of lotus root, and the sect’s leader spread word of Luohua’s generosity.
• Good Scenery granted Red Citadel Grotto an additional cultivation slot, while Luohua left disputes over the cultivation roster for the sects to resolve themselves.
• Yang Yuxin completed the Blessing Courtyard and set its external gate to open on the third, sixth, and ninth days of each lunar month.
• Feng Jun invited Daoist sects to refer believers to Luohua, and the first worshippers came to burn incense and stay overnight.
• Lin Heihu answered worshippers’ prayers in dreams, rejecting excessive requests and encouraging those who wished to pass exams to study hard.

Lin Heihu asked Feng Jun to help find a trafficked child, and Feng Jun used a blood-based divination to locate the boy and several other missing children in Xichuan Province. The children were rescued through Yang Yuxin’s uncle, while the boy’s parents woke at the Blessing Courtyard with evidence that their prayer had been answered.

• Lin Heihu asked Feng Jun to help a couple whose son had been kidnapped, and Feng Jun used the woman’s blood to track the boy across several locations.
• Feng Jun found the boy and seven or eight other children in Three Cities, Xichuan Province, and asked Yang Yuxin to contact someone who could help.
• Yang Yuxin called her paternal uncle, who passed the information to a local criminal investigation captain and urged him to rescue the children and arrest the traffickers.
• Feng Jun monitored the operation with Divine Sense to ensure nothing went wrong.
• The boy’s parents woke at the Blessing Courtyard and realized a voice had told them Xiao Qi was found and taken a drop of the woman’s blood.
• A young staff member told the father not to ask further questions and warned him not to tell others what had happened.

After the first family found their abducted son following a night at Blessing Courtyard, word spread quietly among other parents searching for missing children. The courtyard’s supernatural reputation grew, while a grieving mother and an unexpected murder confession brought new disturbances.

• Wang Zhiqi learned from a police officer that Xiao Qi had been rescued from child traffickers, and his family confirmed the child’s identity.
• The couple thanked the Bodhisattva and told Blessing Courtyard’s visitors how their son had been found, prompting others to investigate the police operation.
• Xiao Qi’s parents privately directed other missing children’s families to Luo Hua, and three families arrived together to pray for their children.
• After one mother fainted while kowtowing, Gazi told her family to return in three days, then allowed them to stay after she pleaded about her missing daughter.
• At dawn, a man shouted that his former boss had died during sex, then revealed that he had removed the boss’s heart medicine and caused the death.

Feng Jun and Lin Heihu exposed a visitor’s murderous past, establishing Blessing Courtyard’s refusal to help people guilty of major wrongdoing. As the courtyard’s reputation for judging moral character spread, Feng Jun also explained why three families had to rescue their missing children themselves.

• Lin Heihu discovered in a visitor’s dream that the man had helped kill his former boss, and Feng Jun decided to expose him rather than judge him by law.
• The visitor confessed in his dream as people from Hui District recorded him, and he was later imprisoned when local interests pushed for an investigation into the boss’s death.
• Blessing Courtyard adopted a firm stance against unsavory guests, with Lin Heihu enforcing its ancient standards of right and wrong.
• Feng Jun gave three families information about where their missing children were but could not arrange a police-led rescue across multiple locations.
• Gazi told the families to follow the miraculous guidance and find the children themselves, warning them that delay could allow the children to be moved.

Three families rescued their missing children with help from strangers, while the growing number of search requests forced Feng Jun to set stricter rules for the Blessing Courtyard. He discovered that one father’s missing daughter was not biologically his, and the chapter ended with him deciding not to pursue the matter after learning she was well cared for.

• A middle-aged entrepreneur and a woman joined the three families searching for their missing children, and the group planned rescues in Yuzhou, Qian Province, and Jinzhou.
• The rescuers recovered all three children, exposed a trafficking gang in Yuzhou, and helped the Qian Province boy escape from the bachelor who had bought him.
• After twelve families sought help at the courtyard’s third opening, Feng Jun told Lin Heihu to require relatives to gather and generally use the mother’s blood for future searches.
• Feng Jun could not locate one man’s missing child using his blood, but found her after Lin Heihu obtained the mother’s blood and discovered she was not the man’s biological daughter.
• Lin Heihu told the man that the girl was living well with her adoptive parents, and the man chose not to expose the revelation or pursue her further.

A woman helped rescue trafficked children and received a Cancer Care Center referral slot from Lin Heihu, while the Blessing Courtyard’s growing reputation drew nearly three hundred families seeking missing children. When Feng Jun limited entry to one hundred families and a crowd rioted, Teacher Mei and Gazi subdued the troublemakers and asserted the courtyard’s authority.

• A man left a donation at the Blessing Courtyard and claimed the missing child had died, but the woman who ruled Yishi insisted that the parents should see the child or the body.
• The woman helped rescue two more children and used her influence to uncover a women-and-children trafficking ring, earning a flexible Cancer Care Center referral slot from Lin Heihu.
• Feng Jun limited the fifth opening of the Blessing Courtyard to one hundred families searching for missing children, and some excluded families began causing a disturbance.
• Teacher Mei struck down the ringleaders with Thunderclap Talismans, while Gazi blacklisted the troublemakers and stopped several who tried to flee.
• Gazi explained that the courtyard’s grounds were privately owned and that visitors had to follow the owner’s arrangements.

Gazi organized a sincerity test to choose which families could stay at Blessing Courtyard overnight while searching for their missing children. After the first hundred families were selected, he revealed that one rejected man's wife had been sincere, but her husband’s distrust had dragged her down.

• Gazi warned a handsome young man that posting his recording could bring trouble to his family’s law firm, and the young man stopped challenging him.
• Gazi announced that Blessing Courtyard would admit only one hundred families overnight and that a test would determine who stayed.
• A burly father and other parents backed Blessing Courtyard and rebuked people who disrupted the search.
• Feng Jun’s formation measured applicants’ sincerity and registered their real identities in Luo Hua’s database.
• Gazi selected the first hundred families and posted the list of those allowed to stay overnight.
• Gazi told a rejected man that his wife’s sincerity was high, but his own lack of trust had lowered their chances.

Gazi established that the Blessing Courtyard could detect insincere visitors, then relayed Lin Beauty’s request about a damaged testing formation to Feng Jun. Feng Jun replaced the formation while warning against another attempt to dismantle one, as the Cultivation Courtyard’s candidates were finalized.

• Gazi turned away a man who lacked sincerity and told him to return another time, establishing a rule for visitors to the Blessing Courtyard.
• Lin Beauty asked Gazi to help with bleeding troublemakers and reported that a Loyal Type No. 1 formation had malfunctioned after an electrical overload.
• Feng Jun identified that the formation had been damaged during an attempt to reverse-engineer it and decided to replace it while warning Lin Beauty’s team not to try again.
• Lin Beauty’s team argued over whether to dismantle the replacement formation, while Feng Jun reflected that separate units could not easily share their equipment.
• Luo Hua selected 120 members from a master list of 360 candidates for the Cultivation Courtyard, including connected candidates and people with few cultivation resources.

Feng Jun watched the Daoist Order cultivators in Luo Hua’s Cultivation Courtyard make use of their different skills and resources, gradually building a cooperative custom of discussing the Dao. Wang Ke’er of Cinnabar Cloud Heaven began lecturing, and growing attendance caught Good Scenery’s attention.

• The Siming Mountain Daoist helped other cultivators while Wang Dapeng struggled to find a way to contribute with only martial arts knowledge and resources belonging to the Martial Ancestor.
• Azure Mountain, Cinnabar Cloud Heaven, Fuluo Mountain, and other lineages shared their knowledge and found ways to support one another in the courtyard.
• Wang Ke’er’s cultivation advanced from the Second to the Third Layer of Mortal Transcendence after Ma Sanniang guided her in the Secret Realm.
• At her fellow disciples’ request, Wang Ke’er agreed to lecture on the Dao after morning lessons.
• More cultivators came to hear Wang Ke’er on her second day of lecturing, and Good Scenery noticed the growing interest.

Mei Jin became invested in improving the Cultivation Courtyard and persuaded Feng Jun to give a lecture on the Dao. After she announced the lecture, cultivators rushed to spread the news and ask whether outsiders could attend.

• Mei Jin listened to Wang Ke'er’s lectures and recognized her knowledge of cultivation theory.
• Feng Jun gave Liu Yuting, Liang Siyu, and Zhao Xia cultivation spaces in the courtyard but did not provide them with cultivation methods.
• Liang Siyu wished she could hear Feng Jun lecture, prompting Mei Jin to ask him to teach at the courtyard.
• Feng Jun agreed to give a lecture, reasoning that Luo Hua should share its knowledge with the courtyard’s cultivators.
• Mei Jin announced that Feng Jun would lecture and answer questions next Monday, and she allowed people to use their phones to spread the news.
• Mei Jin said outside visitors had to register and could attend only from the reception area without asking questions.
