Chapter Summaries

Lin Hao negotiated with Dugu Bo for ownership of his medicinal garden and used pills to convince him that he could help cure his poison. He brought Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and began preparations, leaving Dugu Bo asking how the cure would work.

• Lin Hao asked for ownership of Dugu Bo's medicinal garden while allowing Dugu Bo to keep using it, and said his final condition would not make Dugu Bo harm anyone.
• Lin Hao showed Dugu Bo several bottles of pills and offered to teach him alchemy, convincing him to cooperate.
• Dugu Bo carried the unconscious Dugu Yan to bed, then led Lin Hao from Heaven Dou City into Sunset Forest.
• Lin Hao flew to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well ahead of Dugu Bo and asked him to catch a live animal.
• Dugu Bo returned with a tied rabbit and asked Lin Hao how he planned to cure the poison in his body.

Lin Hao experimented with refining the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s rare herbs into a remedy while Dugu Bo watched, hoping to develop a way to neutralize their effects. After a month of testing and more refining, Lin Hao produced an irregular pill, though its effectiveness remained unconfirmed.

• Lin Hao told Dugu Bo he wanted benefits before helping detoxify him, then refined essences from several herbs and failed to fuse them into a pill.
• Lin Hao consulted his notebook of possible formulas and tested a medicinal mixture on a rabbit, which died after being exposed to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Lin Hao continued experimenting for six days, then waited another month as a venomous green snake stabilized and emerged from the water.
• Lin Hao caught the surviving snake and said his experiment had worked, but he did not explain his methods to Dugu Bo.
• Lin Hao used the remaining Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to refine an irregular pill four days later.

Lin Hao swallowed the Thousandfold Golden Body Pill and endured more than half a year of alternating ice-and-fire tempering in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He emerged with a strengthened body and Spirit Sea Realm spiritual power, while Dugu Bo asked him to explain what he had been doing.

• Lin Hao confirmed the Thousandfold Golden Body Pill formula by swallowing the pill and began cultivating beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• More than half a year later, Lin Hao opened his eyes with Spirit Sea Realm spiritual power.
• Lin Hao swam ashore, and Dugu Bo asked what he had been doing.

Lin Hao explained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Sacred Body he gained from the Thousand-Hammer Ice-Fire Pill and offered Dugu Bo three ways to deal with his poison. Back in Heaven Dou City, Lin Hao confronted Xiao Wu about coming to the city despite the danger of her soul beast identity being exposed.

• Lin Hao told Dugu Bo that the Thousand-Hammer Ice-Fire Pill had strengthened his body, improved his four major attributes, and made him immune to ice and fire and impervious to poison.
• Lin Hao gave Dugu Bo a meridian diagram to guide the poison into his Spirit Bones, described condensing a poison pill as a future option, and suggested that becoming a god could provide another solution.
• Lin Hao returned to his courtyard in Heaven Dou City and found Xiao Wu waiting at the gate.
• Lin Hao warned Xiao Wu that powerful Spirit Masters in Heaven Dou City could expose her soul beast identity and that he and Tang San might not be able to protect her.

Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu the Eagle Wings scroll and guided her through absorbing its power, which awakened a pair of Purple Cloud Wings on her back. Xiao Wu discovered that the wings functioned as an External Soul Bone, though her first attempt at flying ended with her hitting the ceiling.

• Xiao Wu tried to flee after realizing Lin Hao knew her secret, but he stopped her and reassured her that he did not intend to kill her.
• Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu the Eagle Wings scroll and explained that it could grant her flight and a way to escape powerful enemies.
• Xiao Wu followed Lin Hao's instructions and absorbed the scroll's energy, which opened meridians in her back before she fainted.
• Lin Hao carried Xiao Wu to bed, and after she woke, he showed her the black eagle-wing markings on her back and named them the Purple Cloud Wings.
• Xiao Wu channeled Soul Power into the markings, unfurled the wings, and shot into the ceiling before Lin Hao caught her.

Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu the Purple Cloud Wings and Lovesick Heartbreak Red, which Xiao Wu successfully claimed. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tang San planted Ah Yin in a suitable spot and vowed to kill anyone who spoke ill of Lin Hao.

• Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu the Purple Cloud Wings, explaining that they could improve her chances of surviving danger and might evolve with her cultivation.
• Lin Hao gave Xiao Wu Lovesick Heartbreak Red, which could conceal her Soul Beast aura, and Xiao Wu claimed it by offering her blood.
• Lin Hao realized Xiao Wu's sincere feelings had allowed her to gain the flower's recognition.
• At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Hao corrected Tang San's planting of Ah Yin, explaining that Blue Silver Grass needed good ventilation.
• Tang San thanked Lin Hao for finding a place where Ah Yin could recover and vowed that anyone who spoke ill of Lin Hao would earn his death.

Lin Hao gave Tang San the Bone-Eroding Ghostheart Grass and used Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to cultivate, while Xiao Wu resolved to stay by Lin Hao after gaining a concealed mature-form physique. At Shrek Academy, Tang San reached Soul Power Level forty and defied Yu Xiaogang by insisting on choosing a poison-attribute support Spirit Ring.

• Lin Hao marked Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass as off-limits, invited Tang San to take herbs from the medicinal garden, and gave him Bone-Eroding Ghostheart Grass for his poison-focused Blue Silver Grass.
• Lin Hao returned to his residence and consumed drops of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to cultivate while Xiao Wu waited outside and vowed never to leave him.
• Xiao Wu returned to Shrek Academy and met Tang San, where Yu Xiaogang scolded them for missing team training.

After taking Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lin Hao reached the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm and went with Ye Lingling and Begonia Douluo to the Heaven Dou Auction House. There he reunited with Tang San and Xiao Wu, learned how their cultivation had advanced, and received a concealed weapon from Tang San.

• Tang San gave Lin Hao two concealed weapons called the Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Reaping Gall.

Lin Hao and Tang San attended the auction with Xiao Wu and Begonia Douluo, where Tang San's hidden weapon sold and an unidentified ancient treasure drew Lin Hao into a bidding contest. The bidding reached four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, and the treasure remained unsold as the chapter ended.

• Tang San gave Lin Hao five Mother-and-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Reaping Galls, and Lin Hao called Tang San and Xiao Wu his family.

• The auctioneer presented a mysterious ancient treasure that Begonia Douluo said had appeared at the auction house repeatedly, though nobody knew what it was.
• Lin Hao bid on the treasure, raising the price against another bidder until a further unknown bidder offered four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.

Lin Hao bought a rune-covered ancient treasure for 510,000 Gold Soul Coins after Prince Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi abandoned their bidding war. He told Tang San and Xiao Wu that it resembled a Treasure Bone containing an ancient battle technique, but deciphering it was nearly impossible without the Original True Explanation.

• Lin Hao raised the auction price to 510,000 Gold Soul Coins, prompting Prince Xue Xing and Ning Fengzhi to withdraw from the bidding.
• The auctioneer sold the ancient treasure to Lin Hao, who paid with gold coins from the Battle Through the Heavens Plane.

• Lin Hao told Tang San and Xiao Wu that the rune-covered treasure resembled a Treasure Bone that held an ancient battle technique.
• Lin Hao explained that deciphering the Treasure Bone's runes was nearly impossible without the Original True Explanation.

Lin Hao deciphered the auctioned precious bone and entered a vision of the Suanni Precious Technique. Meanwhile, Tang San rejected Yu Xiaogang and left with Xiao Wu to find Ning Rongrong.

• Lin Hao let Tang San inspect the precious bone, accepted Tang San's hidden weapons, and gave Tang San and Xiao Wu one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins each to buy properties.
• Lin Hao studied the bone's runes, entered a lightning pool, and recognized the Suanni's movements as the Suanni Precious Technique.
• Tang San explained to Xiao Wu that he wanted Ning Rongrong's help finding a quiet villa, then encountered Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong at Shrek Academy.
• Tang San refused Yu Xiaogang's request to talk and told Liu Erlong that Yu Xiaogang was using him as an excuse to get away from her.
• Tang San told Xiao Wu that Yu Xiaogang disgusted him because he cared about Liu Erlong but could not make a clean break.

Lin Hao and his companions entered the Myriad Spirits Ancient Forest to hunt a soul beast at least ninety thousand years old. They discovered two enormous beasts fighting, and Ning Fengzhi identified one as the Ancient Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon.

• Tang San concluded that Yu Xiaogang had left Liu Erlong waiting because he needed to feel needed and prove his worth.
• Lin Hao traveled into the Myriad Spirits Ancient Forest with Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Begonia Douluo, the three academy chairs, and Qin Ming to hunt a powerful soul beast.

• A sudden surge of energy shook the forest, and the group climbed into the treetops to investigate.

Lin Hao and his companions watched the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon and the Myriad Corrosion Black-Scaled Snake fight until both were gravely wounded, then Chen Xin intervened to defeat the dragon. As Chen Xin urged Lin Hao to claim its Spirit Ring, the dragon spat out an unstable golden-red inner core, and Lin Hao called for its connection to the body to be severed.

• Lin Hao, Qin Ming, Ning Fengzhi, and their companions approached the battle between the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon and the Myriad Corrosion Black-Scaled Snake.

• The two soul beasts fought until the Myriad Corrosion Black-Scaled Snake collapsed and the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon was left badly wounded.
• Chen Xin received Ning Fengzhi's boosts and used his Seven Kill Sword to knock the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon down.
• Chen Xin told Lin Hao to kill the dragon and absorb its Spirit Ring, but Lin Hao hesitated.
• The Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon spat out a golden-red pearl as energy turned violent, and Lin Hao shouted for its inner core to be separated from its body.

Lin Hao absorbed the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon’s inner core and obtained a hundred-thousand-year fifth Spirit Ring. He revealed that his new Soul Skill, Edict God, could control opponents as puppets or suppress their combat strength.

• Chen Xin struck the Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon with Sword Intent, leaving it too weak to fight, and Lin Hao claimed the golden-red inner core from its body.
• The Mountain-Suppressing Edict Dragon died without producing a Spirit Ring, so Lin Hao decided to absorb the energy in its inner core.

• Shui Bing'er explained that Martial Soul fusion would come next, then hurried home because women of the Water Family were not allowed to stay out overnight.
