The chapter left Wei Suo and his companions discovering that the two had unknowingly consumed rare Heavenly Crystal Emperor Pills taken from Jade Heaven Sect disciples.

After the pair tried to pressure Wei Suo for more pills, he revealed his Golden Core cultivation and agreed to let them help refine and share the pills.

• Zhu Xiaochun explained that array flags, Mist Clam Pearls, and A-Wood Ganoderma helped conceal and protect the refuge.

Wei Suo inspected Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun’s cave abode and arranged to protect its exposed second entrance with an Immortal Exterminating Vine. He then led Ji Ya and Han Weiwei toward the valley, having thought of a way to make the cave’s defenses easier to pass.

• Wei Suo inspected the unprotected second entrance and planted his spare Immortal Exterminating Vine nearby to guard it.
• Wei Suo suddenly took Ji Ya and Han Weiwei back toward the valley, and they realized he wanted to try something.

Wei Suo tested whether green crystals and the Mountain God's Blessing Formation could strengthen the Immortal Exterminating Vines, but saw no immediate change. Back at the cave residence, he made Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun swear loyalty before giving them better magical treasures.

• Wei Suo placed three green crystals beside an Immortal Exterminating Vine and fed it nearly a hundred demonic beast corpses, then found no obvious change in its length or thickness.

• Wei Suo required Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun to swear that they would obey him and never act disloyally.
• Wei Suo gave Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun two High-grade Spirit Artifact attack treasures and two High-grade Spirit Artifact defensive treasures.

Wei Suo recruited Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun to help him, gave them magical treasures, and set strict rules for protecting the Heaven Mending Pill recipe. He planned his next steps and watched Han Weiwei give her remaining crystal marrow to Ji Ya, while privately wondering whether he had long wanted Han Weiwei as a partner.

• Wei Suo gave Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun four High-grade Spirit Artifacts and warned them to obey his oath and stay out of the rear courtyard.

After leaving Zhen Chongming and Zhu Xiaochun behind, he returned to Lingyue City, used the fish-shaped communication jade talisman, and headed toward the Teleportation Array to Luoyue City.

• Wei Suo checked the green crystals and found that they had made one Immortal Exterminating Vine grow more than five zhang without changing its thickness or toughness.

Wei Suo reunited with Shopkeeper Mo in Luoyue City and learned that the Eastern Yao Sacred Land had lied about Ji Ya marrying Dong Qingyi. As Wei Suo prepared to gather supplies and investigate the sect, Dong Miaozhen received news of a suitable Lightning Spirit Root cultivator and ordered preparations for the Five Secrets of Immortal Roots.

• Dong Miaozhen ordered the cultivators brought into the Little Grotto-Heaven Secret Ground to begin cultivating the Five Secrets of Immortal Roots.

A mysterious young cultivator recovered from his possession using the Kirin King Watermark and planned to seek revenge on Wei Suo, while Li Shaohua began refining a pill to form his Golden Core. Wei Suo embedded the Wonderful Tree Fragment in his palm and discovered it dramatically accelerated his cultivation as Tianyu Workshop’s bulk purchases sent low-level cultivators searching for demon beast flesh.

• Han Weiwei sensed movement, released the Hun Yuan Yin Wa, and saw that it had awakened and grown.

Wei Suo completed a Dao Tier Mid-grade robe for Han Weiwei and watched her Hun Yuan Yin Wa spar with his Heart Devouring Worm. The fight left Little Silver startled after the Heart Devouring Worm burrowed underground.

• Wei Suo finished refining a durable Dao Tier Mid-grade robe and gave it to Han Weiwei, noting that the other two robes could reach Dao Tier Upper Grade.
