Nan Feng prepared to attend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s full-month banquet after spending three days with Snow Empress, while Ice Empress anticipated taking Snow Empress’s place that night. At the banquet, prominent guests gathered, including Spirit Hall’s Salas, whose visit reflected the Spirit Temple’s precarious position now that the Upper Three Sects had allied.

Ning Fengzhi announced that Nan Feng would seek gifted apprentices and teach his lost Soul Tool craftsmanship, prompting the elites to scramble for the chance to become his disciple.

Qian Renxue recognized the advanced principles concealed in the booklet and took the test seriously, while Nan Feng limited everyone to two attempts and dismissed those who failed.

• Ning Fengzhi distributed Nan Feng’s booklets and metal materials, then announced the one-hour Soul Tool aptitude test.
• Qian Renxue recognized the familiar lessons and realized the booklet hid a defective circuit that required understanding advanced principles to complete.
• Ning Fengzhi and Mu Feiluan deciphered the material and began engraving circuits, prompting other guests to try.
• Several candidates cracked both metal pieces through mistakes, and an elder asked Nan Feng for more materials.
• Nan Feng refused extra attempts, explaining that precision and concentration were essential and that he would only choose the most talented candidates.

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Mu Feiluan used Nan Feng’s Soul Tool theories to complete a powerful circuit that pierced the hall’s roof, while the other guests’ copied designs produced only harmless vortices. Nan Feng praised Mu Feiluan’s talent and explained that the practice metal had melted under her compressed Soul Power.

• Xue Luochuan finished first and demonstrated a small golden vortex, but Nan Feng gave no praise.
• Several guests copied the incomplete diagram and made colorful vortices with no destructive power.

• Xue Luochuan felt embarrassed by Nan Feng’s criticism, then took comfort in the failures of Xue Haicang and Xue Beng.

• Nan Feng sent Qian Renxue with Snow Empress to settle in the next room, where Qian Renxue learned that Nan Feng and Snow Empress had recently become lovers.

When Nan Feng carried Ice Empress into Snow Empress's room, he found Qian Renxue exhausted after staying awake for two days.

• Nan Feng gave Qian Renxue top-grade Whale Rubber from a hundred-thousand-year Evil Orca King and said it could help reshape and strengthen her body.

Nan Feng returned to find Qian Renxue overwhelmed by the effects of hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber and forcibly cooled her with extreme cold. He then began tempering her body with fused Immortal Herb essence and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well’s energies.

• Nan Feng lifted Qian Renxue above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and guided its extreme ice and fire energies into her body to begin her Water and Fire Golden Body tempering.

After Qian Renxue completed a month of ice-and-fire tempering, Nan Feng returned with her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and arranged for her safe return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. He warned Xue Ye to stop probing him and demanded that Xue Qinghe be made crown prince if the emperor wanted peace.

• Nan Feng said he would speak with Bibi Dong in Spirit City and asked Ning Fengzhi to arrange Qian Renxue's return to the palace.
• After hearing that Xue Ye had been probing his intentions, Nan Feng told him to make Xue Qinghe crown prince immediately if he wanted to avoid trouble.

Nan Feng explained to Bibi Dong why he had let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect release basic Soul Tool knowledge instead of Spirit Hall, then revealed his plan to establish the continent’s top Soul Tool Research Institute overseas. Bibi Dong was stunned when he chose Purple Pearl Island, a notorious pirate den.

• Nan Feng returned to Spirit City with Snow Empress and Ice Empress and met Bibi Dong at the Pope Palace.
• Bibi Dong questioned whether widely spreading Soul Tool knowledge would destabilize the balance of power, and Nan Feng argued that the basics were too difficult for most people to master and could help transform society.
• Bibi Dong asked why Nan Feng had allowed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to announce the knowledge first, and Nan Feng explained that Spirit Hall’s involvement would alarm its enemies and provoke them to unite against it.
• Nan Feng told Bibi Dong that he planned to establish the continent’s highest-level Soul Tool Research Institute overseas.
• Bibi Dong recognized Purple Pearl Island as the planned location and objected that it was a notorious pirate den.

• Bibi Dong advised Nan Feng to avoid being alone with Qian Renxue and criticized him for acting too familiar and indulgent as an elder.
• Snow Empress explained that Nan Feng’s intense care may have made Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue dependent on him rather than seeing him as a stern elder.

• Nan Feng said he would focus on helping Bibi Dong refine her Divine Slaughter’s Domain before searching for two more candidates for his Godly Trial.
• Snow Empress and Ice Empress decided to move to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest because Spirit City felt oppressive.

After ten years of training, Bibi Dong awakened a domain that Nan Feng believed was the Asura Domain, bringing their plan to seize the Asura inheritance closer. Back in Spirit City, Hu Liena presented Nan Feng with the Level Seven Soul Tool she had independently made.

• Nan Feng pushed Bibi Dong to the limits with his Evil Domain, and her Domain of Slaughter transformed into a crimson domain that briefly suppressed him.
