Chapter Summaries

Xia Dong consumed twenty-four Foundation Establishment Pills and broke through into the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the excess medicinal power perfected the second level of his Vajra Wisdom King Art. After forming water-aspected dharma intent, he discovered the catalyst needed to perfect his Evergreen Qi-Circulation Art and summoned Pei Hongling to Tiger Hill Manor to ask for her help.

• Xia Dong swallowed Foundation Establishment Pills in succession, overcoming his poor spiritual-energy conversion and transforming his Mysterious Yin Mana into liquid true essence.
• Xia Dong used the remaining medicinal power to perfect the second level of the Vajra Wisdom King Art and stabilized his Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation.
• Xia Dong formed water-aspected dharma intent and planned to advance his Profound Yin Divine Water into dark nether true water by finding Qin Wan.
• Xia Dong learned that the final stage of the Evergreen Qi-Circulation Art's Divine Treasury Chapter required the primordial yin of a wood-aligned female Foundation Establishment cultivator, and considered raising Pei Hongling's cultivation to meet the requirement.
• Xia Dong summoned Pei Hongling to Tiger Hill Manor and told her, "Hongling, I want you to help me cultivate."

Xia Dong helped Pei Hongling reach Foundation Establishment in his cave abode, then dual-cultivated with her to obtain the wood-aspected primordial yin he needed. Their union brought the Divine Treasury Chapter of his Evergreen Qi-Circulation Art to complete perfection, while Pei Hongling fainted from exhaustion.

• Xia Dong promised Pei Hongling a Foundation Establishment Pill and asked to observe her breakthrough, and she agreed.
• Xia Dong brought Pei Hongling to the Tiger Hill Cave Abode, where she saw his subdued Foundation Establishment snake and began preparing on the bluestone couch once used by Senior Lone Moon.
• Pei Hongling consumed the pill and smoothly established her foundation, then spent several days stabilizing her cultivation and forming a thread of wood-aspected dharma intent.
• Xia Dong took Pei Hongling to the cold pool and then dual-cultivated with her, secretly using the Dark Hibernation talisman seed to steal some of her dharma intent.
• Xia Dong absorbed Pei Hongling's wood-aspected primordial yin and completed the Divine Treasury Chapter, while Pei Hongling fainted from the strain.
