Chapter Summaries

Li Xuan and Bai Wen prepared and began digging a concealed tunnel, while Li Xuan continued surveying the Flower Sea and arranged more building materials for the project. Three days later, Li Xuan visited Bai Wen underground and found the tunnel progressing as planned.

• Li Xuan and Bai Wen reinforced the tunnel, planted Starfire Vine for light and oxygen, and agreed that Bai Wen would begin digging in earnest the next day.
• Li Xuan returned to the Supervisor Mansion without taking the Void Grass, then spent three days recording rare plants in the West District.
• Liu Li told Li Xuan that the building materials and books had arrived, and Li Xuan sent Liu Li and the other workers to rest and eat at the Supervisor Mansion.
• Li Xuan secretly transported some building materials to the basement with the Void Pearl and went to check Bai Wen's progress.
• Li Xuan found Bai Wen digging a carefully designed tunnel and returned with him to the basement for water and a quiet conversation.

Li Xuan oversaw Bai Wen’s tunnel beneath the Flower Sea while collecting seeds and herbs for his future use. Two and a half months later, they reached the rock beneath the small mountain, and Li Xuan prepared to settle a few matters before escaping.

• Bai Wen explained that the soft, moist soil let him dig quickly, and Li Xuan urged him to reinforce the tunnel against collapse.
• Li Xuan brought Bai Wen supplies and studied the Flower Sea’s plants, using Green Spirit Liquid and cuttings to collect seeds and medicinal herbs while Lin Mo followed him to learn his abilities.
• After two and a half months, Li Xuan had filled three Void Pearls with seeds and herbs and felt ready to leave the Flower Sea.
• Bai Wen uncovered the stone wall beneath the small mountain marked on their map, and Li Xuan confirmed they had nearly reached their escape route.
• Bai Wen estimated that circling around the mountain would take at most five days, and Li Xuan left to prepare before they completed the tunnel and escaped.

Li Xuan returned to the Supervisor Mansion to cultivate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, hoping Chrysanthemum Douluo would have little reason to pursue him after his escape. After the flower sprouted, Lin Mo revealed his plan to seize Li Xuan’s treasure, and the two prepared to fight.

• Li Xuan gathered the servants and told Lin Mo he could cultivate the seed and teach him the method.
• Lin Mo sent the servants away, and Li Xuan planted the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seed in a flowerpot.
• Li Xuan diluted Green Spirit Liquid with pond water and poured a drop into the pot, causing the seed to sprout two leaves.
• Li Xuan showed Lin Mo the Little Green Bottle, and Lin Mo dropped his obsequious act and summoned a whip to take the treasure.
• Li Xuan revealed he had anticipated Lin Mo’s betrayal and summoned Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame as Lin Mo attacked.

Li Xuan killed Lin Mo to prevent him from alerting Chrysanthemum Douluo, then searched the Supervisor Mansion and found a hidden chamber filled with Gold Soul Coins. After preparing his plants and leaving the mansion, he reunited with Bai Wen in the tunnel to continue their escape.

• Li Xuan activated the Burning Heart Seal he had planted on Lin Mo, and the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame burned Lin Mo's Heart Fire until he died.
• Li Xuan burned Lin Mo's corpse to ashes, searched the Supervisor Mansion, and found several bags of Gold Soul Coins and seeds.
• Li Xuan discovered a hidden chamber beneath the rear courtyard's artificial rockery and stored its trove of Gold Soul Coins and two chests in the Void Pearl.
• Li Xuan placed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in the courtyard, left the Supervisor Mansion, and returned to his small courtyard.
• Li Xuan packed the Void Grass, Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, and Dark Domain Ghost Orchid, then met Bai Wen in the tunnel and continued digging with him.

Li Xuan and Bai Wen escaped the Flower Sea through a tunnel and traveled through the night to get beyond Chrysanthemum Douluo’s jurisdiction. After resting in a forest, they used a map to locate the nearest city and prepared to continue there.

• Li Xuan and Bai Wen finished digging a tunnel through the rocky mountain and waited until night to escape.
• Li Xuan stored the Void Grass, Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, and Dark Domain Ghost Orchid in the Void Pearl, then he and Bai Wen crawled out under an overcast sky.
• Li Xuan and Bai Wen crossed the wild grassland overnight and left the Flower Sea before dawn, then continued walking to avoid discovery.
• Li Xuan and Bai Wen circled around a village and rested in a small forest after traveling all day.
• Li Xuan used a map to determine that they had escaped at least fifty kilometers and that a city was just over ten kilometers away.
• Li Xuan and Bai Wen ate, rested, and resumed their journey toward the city.

Li Xuan enjoyed a brief respite in the city after escaping the Flower Sea, then experienced a sudden cultivation breakthrough and found a special Alchemist class-change scroll in the System Mall. He returned to the inn and crushed the scroll to receive its inheritance.

• Li Xuan discovered that Bai Wen had left the inn during the night, and he decided they were safer apart now that they had escaped the Flower Sea.
• Li Xuan visited a bathhouse, where Soul Power gathered into his body and raised his Soul Power Level by two levels.
• The System announced that Li Xuan's improved state of mind had triggered a System Mall update.
• Li Xuan spent 500 points on a special-price Alchemist Class-Change Scroll and stored it in the Void Pearl.
• Li Xuan hurried back to the inn, locked his door, and crushed the scroll in his hand.

After receiving the first-grade Alchemist inheritance, Li Xuan prepared to flee Spirit Hall and stocked a carriage with supplies. He left Baifeng City and settled on traveling into the Heaven Dou Empire, where he hoped to develop freely.

• Li Xuan endured half an hour of pain as he absorbed the Alchemist inheritance, which included three first-grade Elixir formulas and sealed knowledge for higher levels.
• Li Xuan bought a carriage, potted his three medicinal plants, and used the Little Green Bottle's Green Spirit Liquid to grow a new Void Pearl.
• Li Xuan stocked his Void Pearls with hot meals, clothing, tools, food, water, books, a map, and ingredients for refining Elixirs.
• Li Xuan left Baifeng City before the gates closed and drove about twenty kilometers into the wilderness.
• Li Xuan chose to travel toward the Heaven Dou Empire, ate in his carriage, and fell asleep for the night.

Li Xuan traveled toward Heaven Dou City while expanding his Void Pearl storage and decided to test his talent for refining Elixirs. After struggling to control the flame, he successfully refined two Spirit-Nurturing Pills.

• Li Xuan cultivated another Void Pearl and continued his journey toward Heaven Dou City.
• After a day of travel, Li Xuan stopped in a valley, ate, and decided to try refining Elixirs.
• Li Xuan prepared ingredients and used a heavy copper pot as an improvised pill furnace.
• Li Xuan burned his first portion of ingredients by losing control of the flame, then carefully purified the remaining ingredients.
• Li Xuan fused the medicinal essences and released two pitch-black Spirit-Nurturing Pills into a porcelain bottle.

Li Xuan finished refining two Spirit-Nurturing Pills, then woke before dawn to find six bandits surrounding his carriage. He killed their leader and used Burning Heart Seals to subdue the other five, leaving them as his slaves to attend to his needs.

• Li Xuan checked the two Spirit-Nurturing Pills he had refined, stored them away, cleaned his tools, and went to sleep.
• Before dawn, Li Xuan noticed six bandits surrounding his carriage and overheard them planning to rob him.
• Li Xuan killed the bandit leader with a palm strike and forced the other five to surrender.
• Li Xuan placed Burning Heart Seals in the five bandits and declared that they were his slaves.
• When the bandits doubted his power, Li Xuan activated the seals, made them suffer intense burning pain, and ordered them to serve him.

Li Xuan forced the captured bandits to serve him and used the deaths of two escapees to deter the rest. He sent the surviving three to Baifeng City for supplies while he prepared medicine and planned to leave the area.

• Li Xuan used the Burning Heart Seals to make the bandits submit, learned that Qian Fugui had arranged the ambush with four local bandits, and ordered them to serve him.
• Li Xuan warned the captives that the seals would burn them if they fled, then went back to sleep.
• The next morning, Li Xuan found that two bandits had run away and retrieved their charred bodies two kilometers from the carriage.
• Li Xuan showed the corpses to Qian Fugui and the two remaining bandits, then gave them bread and warned them against escaping.
• Li Xuan wrote a shopping list, gave the three survivors money to buy supplies in Baifeng City, and began refining medicine as he prepared to leave.

Li Xuan’s copper pot exploded while he was refining Fasting Pills, destroying the batch and leaving him without a suitable alchemy vessel. He realized his Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus might serve as a furnace and began testing the idea by preparing Spirit-Nurturing Pills.

• Li Xuan’s damaged copper pot cracked during the final stage of refining Fasting Pills, and the resulting explosion sent him flying.
• Li Xuan recovered, found the pills reduced to black powder, and decided he needed a proper alchemy furnace.
• Li Xuan searched the System Mall for a furnace, but the refreshed items were either unaffordable or useless to him.
• Li Xuan realized his Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus might work as an alchemy furnace and decided to test it.
• Li Xuan prepared ingredients for Spirit-Nurturing Pills and summoned the lotus in his palm to begin the experiment.

Li Xuan used the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus as an alchemy furnace and discovered that it made pill-making easier while saving Soul Power and improving the results. After refining two batches of Spirit-Nurturing Pills, he received the supplies Qian Fugui and the others had bought and began storing them for his journey.

• Li Xuan shaped the Nine Hearts Nine Flames Lotus into a cauldron and used it to refine five first-rank intermediate Spirit-Nurturing Pills.
• Li Xuan found that the lotus furnace reduced his Soul Power consumption and made controlling the flames easier.
• Li Xuan refined a second batch of six first-rank intermediate Spirit-Nurturing Pills, exhausting his Soul Power.
• Qian Fugui and the other two returned with the supplies Li Xuan had requested and knelt to report their arrival.
• Li Xuan let the three men eat, cultivated another Void Pearl, stored the supplies inside it, and began recovering his Soul Power.

After three months of avoiding cities, Li Xuan reached the outskirts of Heaven Dou City and sent Qian Fugui to investigate before entering. With the wanted notice drawing little attention, a new identity in hand, and Blue Tyrant Academy still recruiting, Li Xuan planned to enter the city the next morning and enroll.

• Li Xuan told Qian Fugui to check the wanted notice, obtain a false identity, and find nearby schools recruiting students.
• Qian Fugui reported that Li Xuan's wanted notice was still posted but had attracted little attention, and he gave Li Xuan a token for the identity Li Feiyu.
• Qian Fugui explained that the token belonged to the heir of a fallen Spirit Master family and listed a Fire Lotus Martial Soul and Soul Power Level eleven.
• Qian Fugui told Li Xuan that Blue Tyrant Academy was the only nearby school still recruiting and that Li Xuan met its age and Soul Ring requirements.
• Li Xuan decided to enter Heaven Dou City the next morning and consider enrolling at Blue Tyrant Academy.

Li Xuan went to Heaven Dou City’s Blue Tyrant Academy to learn proper Spirit Master cultivation and gain a safe place to hide from Spirit Hall. He enrolled under the false name Li Feiyu and left to buy necessities before returning to the academy that afternoon.

• Li Xuan arrived in Heaven Dou City with his group and went to Blue Tyrant Academy’s admissions office.
• Li Xuan presented his altered Identity Token as Li Feiyu and demonstrated his Fire Lotus martial soul and first Soul Ring to Han Lili.
• Teacher Bai could not determine Li Xuan’s bone age, but accepted his explanation that his bones had been injured while absorbing his first Soul Ring.
• Li Xuan used the Burning Heart Seal to conceal his true Soul Power Level, and Teacher Bai recorded him at Level eleven with Grade B talent.
• Han Lili welcomed Li Xuan to Blue Tyrant Academy, and he left with Qian Fugui to buy daily necessities before the afternoon departure.

Li Xuan stocked up on supplies in Heaven Dou City, freed Qian Fugui, Liu San, and Sun Si before killing them, and completed his enrollment at Blue Tyrant Academy. The academy carriage carried him west to the foot of a great mountain, where his new life was about to begin.

• Li Xuan bought enough food, daily necessities, herbs, and other supplies to fill thirty Void Pearls, and prepared ingredients for making pills and Copper Bell Wine.
• Li Xuan gave Qian Fugui, Liu San, and Sun Si one hundred Gold Soul Coins each, marked their foreheads, and left them in an alley.
• Li Xuan's mark set the three men ablaze, and they burned to death; Li Xuan then stored his plants, burned the carriages, and returned to Heaven Dou City.
• Li Xuan paid his fees at the Blue Tyrant Academy admissions office, received his uniform, and boarded the academy carriage.
• The carriage traveled west and reached the foot of a great mountain before sunset.

Li Xuan enrolled at Blue Tyrant Academy, secured a dormitory and the supplies he needed, and finally began reading his cultivation manual. He spent the night in a spare room at the Academic Affairs Office before starting classes the next morning.

• Han Lili escorted Li Xuan up the mountain to complete his enrollment and praised his control of a fireball.
• Li Xuan asked Han Lili about the academy's cultivation environments and facilities, then let his fireball go out after learning they were free to use.
• Han Lili brought Li Xuan to the Academic Affairs Office, where Director Shao An assigned him to Fire Attribute Building 3, Room 612, and Class Three of Intermediate Grade B.
• Shao An gave Li Xuan his academy identity token, cultivation manual, bedding, and a key, then let him stay in a spare room overnight.
• Li Xuan checked the room, lit it with a Starfire Vine fruit, and began reading his cultivation manual.

Li Xuan found Douluo Continent’s cultivation method crude, but his first attempt at cultivating raised him to Soul Power Level 19 while revealing that impurities impaired his flame control. The next morning, he went to Blue Tyrant Academy’s intermediate-class building and entered Class Three.

• Li Xuan rejected the idea of inventing his own technique and began cultivating by drawing Soul Power into his meridians.
• Li Xuan broke through to Soul Power Level 19 in less than half an hour, aided by his talent and the Heart-Burning Golden Chrysanthemum’s remaining medicinal power.
• Li Xuan sensed that Soul Power absorbed from his surroundings contained impurities that could harm his flame control, so he decided to rely on refining more Elixirs and inspect the Fire-type Mimicry Cultivation Environment.
• Li Xuan fell asleep after his breakthrough and, the next morning, followed students to the mountaintop teaching buildings.
• Li Xuan entered the intermediate-class teaching building, found Class Three, and walked into the classroom.

Li Xuan attended history class, then headed to the Fire-type Mimicry Cultivation Environment at Huoyan Peak to cultivate. After Zhou Miao warned him about the heat, Li Xuan chose a wooden house on the mountainside and went inside.

• Li Xuan listened attentively to a history lesson while his classmates slept or occupied themselves.
• Li Xuan ate alone in the cafeteria, then learned that the Fire-type Mimicry Cultivation Environment was on Huoyan Peak.
• Zhou Miao stopped Li Xuan at the mountain entrance, checked his Identity Token and Soul Ring, and warned him to limit his time in the dangerous environment.
• Li Xuan climbed to the mountainside, where his fire resistance helped him withstand the rising heat.
• Li Xuan read the wooden-house rules, chose an unoccupied house in a corner, and entered to cultivate.

Li Xuan tested the Fire-type Mimicry Cultivation Environment by analyzing its Soul Power and refining Spirit-Nurturing Pills. He found the environment improved alchemy, then left to collect his bedding and arrange his dormitory.

• Li Xuan inspected and cleaned the empty Small Wooden House before sensing the mimicry environment’s unusually warm, slightly purer Soul Power.
• Li Xuan considered obtaining Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Skill but decided kidnapping Xiao Wu would put him at risk from Tang San and Tang Hao.
• Li Xuan refined eight First Grade Superior Spirit-Nurturing Pills and found the environment reduced Soul Power consumption and shortened the process.
• Li Xuan decided to spend his free time refining elixirs in the Fire-type Mimicry Cultivation Environment, then left to retrieve his bedding.
• Zhou Miao was surprised that Li Xuan had stayed in the environment for over two hours, and Li Xuan reassured him before departing.

Li Xuan settled into his new dormitory and worried about finding an immortal-grade plant for his second Soul Ring. The System Mall offered a Treasure Hunting Compass, which he bought after learning it could reveal the location of a specified treasure.

• Li Xuan collected his bedding from Teacher Shao, found his dormitory, and cleaned the dusty room before moving in.
• Li Xuan planted three Heavenly Treasures on the windowsill and considered pursuing the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower at Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for his second Soul Ring.
