Changfeng accepted on the condition that Wei Suo and his followers would leave the sect alone afterward, leaving Wei Suo free to pursue Dong Miaozhen and his own aims.

In a secluded valley, he learned the technique could create an additional Golden Core and an Immortal Spiritual Root, though its cultivation requirements were unusually strict.

After learning that Dong Miaozhen’s Immortal Spiritual Root technique required five cultivators’ lives and the rare Tíhú Sacred Fruit, Wei Suo considered whether he could eventually meet its requirements.

After Zhang Fengyi left, the chapter revealed that the yellow-robed cultivator was actually a woman using a disguise and that she fled toward Tianji City.

• A black-robed cultivator and his companions demanded five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones from Zhang Fengyi, claiming his fire technique had destroyed valuable Gemstone Earth Dragon droppings.
