• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi she wanted to become powerful like Luo Can’s disciples, and Ning Fengzhi asked Luo Can to accept her as a student.
• Luo Can set a trial requiring Ning Rongrong to remain in the Illusion Tower for the time it took an incense stick to burn, and she entered while Ning Fengzhi watched anxiously.

Ning Rongrong endured the Illusion Tower’s trial and was accepted by Luo Can as a registered disciple rather than a personal disciple. After she joined Xiao Xiao and Ye Lingling, Luo Can and Ning Fengzhi began discussing Soul Tools for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Luo Can called in two disciples to demonstrate them.

• Ning Fengzhi explained that Ning Tianyuan would have to spend his hoarded wealth to establish himself in the chaotic Balak Kingdom.

• Luo Can obtained a drop of vital blood from the Scarlet King, promising him Life Gold and a Blessing to help him reach four hundred thousand years.

• When the Crystal cracked under the strain, Luo Can shaved off a fragment of Life Gold and merged it into the ring to reinforce it.

Luo Can completed a stable Hundred Thousand Year Artificial Spirit Ring and chose Qin Lang to test it as his eighth ring. Qin Lang agreed to the experiment and received pills Luo Can believed would give him a ninety percent chance of success, leaving the group poised to begin.

• Life Gold stabilized the crystal and raised its energy to the Hundred Thousand Years level, completing Luo Can’s first Artificial Spirit Ring.
• Luo Can chose Qin Lang, whose cultivation had reached level seventy-nine, as the test candidate, and gave Scarlet King another piece of Life Gold to absorb.
• Luo Can arrived at Qichen Academy and revealed the red crystal to Qin Lang, Bibi Dong, Fang Yue, Vina, and the other teachers.
• Qian Renxue confirmed that God-Given Spirit Rings could be formed artificially and could reach the Hundred Thousand Year level.
• Qin Lang volunteered to absorb the Artificial Spirit Ring, and Luo Can gave him a Red-Grade Body Refining Pill and part of a Qiankun Creation Pill to prepare for the experiment.

Luo Can helped Qin Lang break through to the eightieth rank and absorb an artificial Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring made from Scarlet King's essence blood. Qin Lang gained a powerful Hell Domain and regeneration ability, while Luo Can ordered everyone to keep the artificial ring secret.

• Qin Lang tested his eighth spirit skill, Hell Domain, which suppressed enemies and let hellfire rapidly heal his wounds.
• Luo Can ordered Qin Lang, Bibi Dong, Vina, Fang Yue, Scarlet King, and Headmaster Ling Yuan to keep artificial spirit rings secret.

After Luo Can successfully created an artificial Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, he refined more rings and discovered how a soul beast’s vital essence affected their limits. He considered mass production and a future alliance between soul masters and soul beasts, while the Scarlet King agreed to help persuade Di Tian when Luo Can was strong enough to negotiate.

• Luo Can diluted a Qiankun Creation Pill and distributed it to Bibi Dong, Vina, Fang Yue, and three teachers, helping several of them break through their cultivation bottlenecks.
• Luo Can crafted artificial spirit rings from different soul beasts’ vital essence and found that bloodline affected each ring’s maximum age and stability.
• Luo Can gathered seven spirit ring crystals and then went fishing at Lake Heart Island, where the Scarlet King revealed that refining Life Gold had raised its cultivation to three hundred thirty thousand years.
• Luo Can explained his artificial spirit ring methods and considered mass-producing basic rings while reserving advanced custom rings for elite disciples.
• The Scarlet King suggested that artificial rings could ease conflict between soul masters and soul beasts, and Luo Can said he would seek Di Tian’s cooperation once he was strong enough; the Scarlet King agreed to act as a lobbyist.
