Chapter Summaries

Yao Yan examined the Little Greenwood Fox’s reaction to a Fragmented Map before Hun Xuzi arrived to check his cultivation and discuss his plans to leave the Shennong Mountain Range. Hun Xuzi promised to arrange an opportunity for Yao Yan to avenge his parents, then gave him Spirit Clan essence blood to absorb, leaving Yao Yan uneasy about the clans he was being made to offend.

• Yao Yan lured Little Greenwood Fox out with Essence Pills and decided to raise her rather than reveal her identity to Hun Xuzi or forcefully refine her.
• Yao Yan named Little Greenwood Fox Ling Er and wondered whether his fragmented map was related to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and whether he should seek the Flame Mantra.
