Yao Siqi and the Yao family gathered spirit medicines on Spirit Medicine Star until a falling figure destroyed one of their medicine fields. Yao Siqi used her Heart Nourishing Cauldron to treat the charred survivor, who regained consciousness beneath the spirit liquid.

• Yao Siqi captured a ten-thousand-year Spirit Connection Elixir while beginning the Yao family's harvest on Spirit Medicine Star.
• A blazing figure fell from the sky and obliterated Medicine Field Number Twenty-Seven, prompting Yao Siqi and the herb gatherers to investigate.
• Yao Siqi found the charred figure alive but badly injured, and decided to save him so he could compensate the Yao family.
• Yao Siqi refined spirit medicines in her Heart Nourishing Cauldron and filled the crater with spirit liquid to treat the survivor.
• The survivor's charred skin peeled away as Yao Siqi watched, and he abruptly regained consciousness beneath the spirit liquid.

Ning Xiaochuan survived the Eternal Divine Wind and crashed onto a Spirit Medicine Star, where Yao Siqi rescued him in a Spirit Elixir Pond. After waking, he revealed himself as a powerful Heart Nourisher, and Yao Siqi’s group carried him aboard their flying boat, leaving his fate in her hands.

• The Shadow Saint Ruler told Ning Xiaochuan that the storm that carried him across the stars was the rare Eternal Divine Wind and that he had reached the God River Civilization.
• Ning Xiaochuan sensed that Yao Siqi had placed him in the Spirit Elixir Pond, but found that the medicine healed his surface wounds without repairing his damaged meridians and dantian.
• Yao Siqi’s herb gatherers returned from harvesting the Spirit Medicine Star, and Ning Xiaochuan rose from the pond and opened his eyes.
• Ning Xiaochuan’s Heart Nourishing Cauldron absorbed the pond’s spirit elixir, produced a golden pill, and returned to his body before he collapsed again.
• The herb gatherers urged Yao Siqi to enslave Ning Xiaochuan, but she ordered them aside and carefully examined him after recognizing him as a Heart Nourisher.

Ning Xiaochuan recovered enough to speak after Yao Siqi repeatedly tested healing elixirs on him, and he concealed his true Heart Nourisher rank while explaining how he had arrived. Yao Siqi offered him a contract to join the Yao family, and Ning Xiaochuan accepted the stone to inspect its contents.

• Ning Xiaochuan woke after five days unconscious in his body and secretly stored the medicinal properties of Yao Siqi's ineffective healing elixirs.
• Yao Siqi sent away the herb gatherers, then asked Ning Xiaochuan who he was and demanded compensation for the medicinal field he had destroyed.
• Ning Xiaochuan claimed he had been swept onto Spirit Medicine Star by a violent wind and offered to refine pills as compensation.
• Ning Xiaochuan falsely said he had been a Soul-Rank Heart Nourisher before his injuries to avoid revealing his true rank.
• Yao Siqi offered Ning Xiaochuan a Yao Family Contract, and he accepted the stone to examine it.

After reaching Medicine King Star, Ning Xiaochuan accompanied Yao Siqi to the Yao Clan estate as she prepared to introduce him to her father. While waiting outside the main hall, he was accidentally knocked into a wall by a maid and then insulted by a powerful young man from the Mu Clan.

• Ning Xiaochuan signed the Yao Clan's Blood Oath and exchanged knowledge about Heart Nourishers and the God River Civilization with Yao Siqi during the voyage.
• The dragon-shaped ship reached Medicine King Star after more than half a month, and Yao Siqi brought Ning Xiaochuan to the Yao Clan estate.
• Yao Siqi went into the main hall to meet her father, leaving Ning Xiaochuan outside among the curious maids.
• One maid struck Ning Xiaochuan and sent him flying into a wall, then apologized when she realized he was injured.
• A young man from the Mu Clan mocked Ning Xiaochuan, and a maid warned him that the man might become Yao Siqi's future husband.

Mu Yunhe provoked the Yao family and tried to take Ning Xiaochuan away, while Yao Huichun avoided confronting him to protect his clan. Ning Xiaochuan agreed to leave with Mu Yunhe, seeing it as a chance to escape the Blood Oath he had made with the Yao family.

• Mu Yunhe insulted Ning Xiaochuan and threatened Yao Siqi, but Yao Huichun came out and tried to calm the confrontation.
• Yao Huichun recognized that Ning Xiaochuan was unusual and suspected the Mu family had sent Mu Yunhe to find an excuse to attack the Yao family.
• Mu Yunhe declared that he would take Ning Xiaochuan to the Mu family, and he bound and tossed aside Yao Siqi when she tried to stop him.
• Yao Huichun chose not to intervene, and Ning Xiaochuan agreed to go with Mu Yunhe so he could escape the Yao family's Blood Oath.
• Mu Yunhe retrieved the Blood Oath from Yao Siqi and left the Yao family with Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan escaped Mu Yunhe’s attempt to take him away and vanished from Medicine King Star while recovering from his injuries. Half a year later, he was secretly making and selling medicinal pills, but his recovery had slowed without rare spirit herbs.

• Mu Yunhe tried to humiliate Ning Xiaochuan as he took him from the Yao family estate, but Ning Xiaochuan controlled him into slapping himself and then left him behind.
• Ning Xiaochuan tried to make Mu Yunhe his Heart Slave but failed to overcome the force protecting Mu Yunhe’s mind, so he departed before Mu Yunhe regained consciousness.
• Mu Yunhe returned to the Mu family, which sent experts across Medicine King Star to search for Ning Xiaochuan, but they found no trace of him.
• Half a year later, Ning Xiaochuan worked in secret with a fat merchant who sold his medicinal pills and searched for spirit herbs to aid his recovery.
• Ning Xiaochuan’s physical strength had recovered to roughly the Heaven-Man Realm, but without the needed spirit herbs, his full recovery could take several hundred years.

Yao Siqi's parents worried that her interest in Ning Xiaochuan would draw her toward a man they considered unsuitable, and Wen Min forbade her from contacting him. The story then turned to the upcoming Heart Nourisher Assembly, which Ning Xiaochuan found interesting after hearing Gu Pangzi explain its significance.

• Yao Siqi admitted she was searching for Ning Xiaochuan because of his Heart Nourisher abilities, while Yao Huichun teased her about her feelings for him.
• Wen Min emerged from seclusion and warned Yao Siqi to avoid Ning Xiaochuan because Mu Yunhe had taken the Yao family's Blood Oath.
• After Yao Siqi left, Wen Min told Yao Huichun she opposed Ning Xiaochuan approaching their daughter and preferred a well-connected prodigy as a son-in-law.
• Yao Huichun and Wen Min changed the subject to the Heart Nourisher Assembly, a ten-year event where families displayed their strength and recruited talent.
• Gu Pangzi explained the Heart Nourisher Assembly to Ning Xiaochuan, who opened his eyes and said it sounded interesting.

Ning Xiaochuan decided to seek rare spirit medicines to restore his cultivation and left his hiding place disguised with a mask. At the Mu Family Heart Nourishing Hall, he learned that a guest had consigned the two-thousand-year-old Blood Melon he urgently needed.

• Ning Xiaochuan considered entering the Heart Nourisher Assembly to compete for a Spirit Connection Elixir that could help restore his cultivation.
• Ding Wei delivered a batch of spirit medicines and a mask to Ning Xiaochuan at his shop.
• Ning Xiaochuan put on the mask and left the shop after half a year in hiding.
• Ning Xiaochuan went to the Mu Family Heart Nourishing Hall and asked to exchange pills for several rare spirit medicines.
• A Heaven-Man Realm attendant told Ning Xiaochuan that a guest had consigned a two-thousand-year-old Blood Melon, and Ning Xiaochuan reacted with surprise.

Ning Xiaochuan sought to exchange for a Blood Melon at the Mu family's Heart Nourishing Hall and bribed an attendant to reserve it for him. Cao Yirou instead plotted to rob him, but Ning Xiaochuan lured the five men sent after him into the wilderness and killed them.

• Ning Xiaochuan found a genuine Blood Melon and learned it could be exchanged for a pill that would help a True Person Realm cultivator break through.
• Ning Xiaochuan asked the attendant to reserve the Blood Melon for three days and offered him two bottles of pills to secure his help.
• The attendant reported Ning Xiaochuan's request to Cao Yirou, who agreed to reserve the Blood Melon but secretly decided to rob the masked guest.
• Ning Xiaochuan sensed that several True Person Realm experts were following him and led them to a deserted area of Medicine King Star.
• Ning Xiaochuan confronted the five pursuers and released shadows that tore them apart and devoured their flesh before he left.

Ning Xiaochuan traded a newly refined pill for the Blood Melon, used it to improve his damaged body, and entered Medicine King Star’s Heart Nourisher Assembly hoping to win rare spirit herbs. The assembly began before a huge crowd, and an arrogant group of Heart Nourishers arrived as the competition was about to start.

• Ning Xiaochuan prepared a breakthrough pill and exchanged it with Cao Yirou for the Blood Melon, which he refined to improve his injuries.
• Ning Xiaochuan studied the assembly’s rewards, chose several spirit herbs he needed, and registered under a false name.
• Ning Xiaochuan entered the public square with the other Heart Nourishers as the assembly began before a vast crowd.
• A richly dressed group of Heart Nourishers arrived, and the spectators greeted them with loud cheers.

Ning Xiaochuan attended the Heart Nourisher Assembly, where he reunited with Yao Siqi and drew the attention of her teacher, who resolved to test him after the competition. The Assembly began, and Ning Xiaochuan chose to refine pills with the organizers’ spirit herbs, leaving him only one chance to succeed.

• Ning Xiaochuan recognized Yao Siqi among the Heart Nourishers and saw that she was competing to build her reputation.
• Yao Siqi spotted Ning Xiaochuan and greeted him from across the plaza, then told her teacher that he was a Soul-Rank Heart Nourisher.
• Yao Siqi’s teacher offered to protect Ning Xiaochuan but privately decided to make his later test difficult because she feared he and Yao Siqi might become emotionally involved.
• The Heart Nourisher Assembly began, and participants received spaces on the plaza to refine pills using either their own herbs or materials supplied by the organizers.
• Ning Xiaochuan requested spirit herbs from the organizers, leaving himself only one set of materials and one chance to produce a winning pill.

Ning Xiaochuan began refining pills at the Heart Nourisher Assembly while the Mu clan learned he had appeared and began plotting against him. Yao Siqi successfully refined a Subduing Dragon Pill using Ning Xiaochuan’s secret method, then looked toward him as spirit-aware pills appeared throughout the plaza.

• Ning Xiaochuan received the rare spirit medicines he had requested and began refining pills despite his weakened condition.
• Wen Min recognized Ning Xiaochuan and resolved to confront him after the assembly if he continued pursuing Yao Siqi.
• Mu Yunhe spotted Ning Xiaochuan, ordered a disciple to inform his father, and anticipated taking revenge.
• Yao Siqi used Ning Xiaochuan’s secret method to refine a Subduing Dragon Pill, impressing the old woman beside her.
• The first spirit-aware pill appeared, and more unusual pill phenomena followed as Heart Nourishers completed their refinements.
• Yao Siqi completed her Subduing Dragon Pill and looked toward Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan continued refining his pill unnoticed while the crowd focused on Mu Baiji, a Saint-Rank Heart Nourisher. When Ning’s cauldron drew heavenly lightning, the Heart Nourishers recognized that he was refining a pill with Heavenly Thunder Subdues Demons, leaving the Yao Clan’s observers to reconsider their judgment of him.

• Yao Siqi’s aunt refined a Spirit Connection Pill and explained that Saint-Rank Heart Nourishers could imbue pills with Sacred Aura to cleanse Heart Demons.
• Yao Siqi noticed that Ning Xiaochuan’s movements resembled Mu Baiji’s, but her aunt dismissed the possibility that Ning was refining a pill with Sacred Aura.
• After two days, a Heart Nourisher’s cauldron exploded, while another finished an ordinary pill, leaving only Ning Xiaochuan and Mu Baiji still refining.
• Mu Baiji drew streams of light into his cauldron and prepared to finish his pill as the spectators watched.
• A storm of heavenly lightning descended onto Ning Xiaochuan’s cauldron, and the Heart Nourishers recognized the technique as Heavenly Thunder Subdues Demons.
• Yao Siqi’s aunt realized Ning might be a Saint-Rank Heart Nourisher and worried that the Yao Clan had missed its chance to form a good relationship with him.

Ning Xiaochuan won the Heart Nourisher Assembly after refining a pill with the Heavenly Thunder Subdues Demons attribute, drawing regret and interest from the major families. As the Mu family prepared to send Mu Baiji to the God Palace, Ning Xiaochuan began trading his reward for rare ingredients, and someone offered him Heart Shattering Grass.

• Ning Xiaochuan's Saint-Rank ability stunned Yao Huichun and Wen Min, while Mu Yunhe sent a servant to report the news to his father, Mu Baishu.
• Ding Kui told Mu Baishu to provide a Saint-Level Heart Nourisher and ten King-Rank Heart Nourishers for the God Palace, then ordered him to bring Ning Xiaochuan along after learning of his arrival.
• Ning Xiaochuan won first place at the Heart Nourisher Assembly, ahead of Mu Baiji, and collected his reward.
• Ning Xiaochuan offered a ten-thousand-year spirit medicine in exchange for Eight Thousand Year Heart Shattering Grass and Five Thousand Year Yin Marrow Fluid.
• A person approached Ning Xiaochuan and said they had Eight Thousand Year Heart Shattering Grass.

Ning Xiaochuan traded for the Heart Shattering Grass and Five Thousand Year Yin Marrow Fluid he needed, then left the Heart Nourisher Assembly to restore his strength in the God Shell. Major forces on Medicine King Star watched Fatty Ding's shop, and after half a day an unknown figure arrived.

• Ning Xiaochuan traded a Ten Thousand Year Snowflake Dew to the old woman from the Yao family for her Heart Shattering Grass.
• Ning Xiaochuan rejected the honest-faced Heart Nourisher's greedy demand, then obtained Five Thousand Year Yin Marrow Fluid through a short Heart Nourisher, leaving others to debate whether he had planned the exchange.
• Ning Xiaochuan left the assembly before the pill evaluations and returned to Fatty Ding's shop to restore his strength.
• Ning Xiaochuan entered the God Shell, while watchers from nearly every force on Medicine King Star monitored the shop and reported his location to their leaders.
• After roughly half a day, a figure descended from the sky and landed outside Fatty Ding's shop.

Mu Baishu failed to meet Ning Xiaochuan because a powerful guard drove him from the shop, so he left to seek the Mu family’s trump card. Meanwhile, Yao Huichun decided to enlist his family’s ancestor and join other Heart Nourisher families to protect Ning Xiaochuan and challenge the Mu family.

• Mu Baishu confirmed Ning Xiaochuan was inside the shop, but Ning Xiaochuan’s spirit beast refused him entry.
• Mu Baishu forced the door open, but a hidden Pseudo-God Realm expert struck him and warned him not to intrude.
• Mu Baishu ordered his guards to watch the shop and left to use the Mu family’s deeper strength.
• Yao Huichun learned that Mu Baishu had failed to meet Ning Xiaochuan, and Wen Min warned that the Mu family’s demi-god ancestor might intervene.
• Yao Huichun resolved to recruit Ning Xiaochuan and unite with other Heart Nourisher families, then told Wen Min they would first meet the Yao family’s ancestor.

The Medicine King Star families abandoned their plans to claim Ning Xiaochuan after learning that God Palace envoy Ding Kui had come to take him. Meanwhile, Ning Xiaochuan healed his injuries inside the God Shell, recovered his Pseudo-God power, and completed a Virtual Godhead, leaving the God Shell to face the coming Sub-God Tribulation.

• The Sub-God ancestors of Medicine King Star gathered to discuss which family Ning Xiaochuan would join, but Mu Yanxin revealed that God Palace envoy Ding Kui had come for the Saint-Rank Heart Nourishers.
• Yao Donglei told Yao Huichun and Wen Min that God Palace had claimed Ning Xiaochuan, ending the Yao Family's efforts to recruit him and its conflict with the Mu Family.
• Ning Xiaochuan refined and swallowed a healing pill inside the God Shell, repairing his body and recovering his Pseudo-God power.
• The Heavenly Emperor Blade sensed that Ning Xiaochuan was nearing the Sub-God Realm, so he put away his weapons and focused on his breakthrough.
• Ning Xiaochuan imprinted his World Extinction Paths onto the emerging Virtual Godhead and completed its formation.
• Ning Xiaochuan left the God Shell so the approaching Sub-God Tribulation would not destroy it.

Mu Yanxin attacked Ning Xiaochuan’s shop to seize its treasures, but Ning Xiaochuan emerged while undergoing the Sub-God Tribulation. The tribulation released Nine Yuan Heavy Water that destroyed everything nearby and left Ning Xiaochuan at the center of a pool.

• Mu Yanxin dismissed Mu Baishu’s caution and decided to use Ning Xiaochuan to display the Mu Clan’s strength.
• Mu Yanxin sensed a Sub-God War Corpse and a God Shell inside Ning Xiaochuan’s shop, then broke in and attacked its guards.
• Mu Yanxin injured Ning Xiaochuan’s spirit beasts and drove back the Sub-God War Corpse before Ning Xiaochuan emerged from the God Shell amid signs of the Sub-God Tribulation.
• Ning Xiaochuan recalled his wounded guards and focused on facing the tribulation as Mu Yanxin retreated with Mu Baishu.
• Nine Yuan Heavy Water poured down, crushing the light pillar and destroying everything it touched, including two nearby observers.
• Mu Yanxin and Mu Baishu escaped the spreading water, which stopped in a circular pool around Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan faced a devastating Sub-God Tribulation of Nine Yuan Heavy Water and Nine Heavens Divine Fire, while revealing the World Extinction Path and condensing an extraordinary Virtual Godhead. His body was compressed until it vanished into the heavy water just as his nearly spherical King of Godheads appeared.

• Nine Yuan Heavy Water crushed Ning Xiaochuan while Nine Heavens Divine Fire burned toward him, leaving him unable to move.
• Ning Xiaochuan unleashed the World Extinction Demon Flame Path, which restrained and drew in much of the Nine Heavens Divine Fire.
• Ding Kui recognized Ning Xiaochuan as a World Extinction Path Successor and secretly resolved to report him and seek a chance to kill him.
• As the divine fire overwhelmed his flame, Ning Xiaochuan focused his spiritual energy on stabilizing his Virtual Godhead.
• Ning Xiaochuan's Virtual Godhead shone brightly and revealed more than two thousand facets, making it the King of Godheads.
• The Nine Yuan Heavy Water compressed Ning Xiaochuan until his body vanished from sight.
