• Shopkeeper Geng sold Chen Changming a bottle of Azure Billow Spirit Liquid for 550,000 spirit jade on Liu Hanshu’s instructions, and allowed him to buy it on credit.

• Three days later, Chen Changming’s avatar entered the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower auction hall, where Shopkeeper Geng placed him in an isolated private room.
• A tenth-level Void Refinement cultivator in brocade robes, addressed as Senior Liu, arrived and warned the assembled bidders not to compete with him for the Void Crystal Marrow.

At the auction, Liu Chengfeng tried to scare off bidders for the Void Crystal Marrow, but an unknown voice challenged him. Just as Liu seemed to have won at 2.5 million Ling Yu, another private room bid three million.

• Chen Changming learned that Liu Chengfeng was the Liu Family heir, backed by an Elder Council elder, and decided to keep his identity hidden.

• Liu Chengfeng found no marrow in the ring and demanded to know who had received it, threatening Ning Jin when he refused to answer.
• Ning Jin invoked Chu Qiushui’s protection, reclaimed his Storage Ring, and left while Liu Chengfeng suppressed his killing intent.

After Ning Jin gave the void crystal marrow to a Demon Race cultivator, Liu Chengfeng persuaded his father Liu Rushi to pursue him. Liu Rushi failed to catch the fugitive, so Liu Chengfeng planned to gather evidence against Ning Jin and bring the case before the Elder Council.

• A Ten Thousand Treasures Tower attendant told Liu Chengfeng that Ning Jin had visited the room of an upper-stage Void Refinement Realm Demon Race man, then gave him the man's portrait.
• Liu Chengfeng told Liu Rushi that Ning Jin had handed the void crystal marrow to the Demon Race man, and Liu Rushi set off to pursue him.

• Qin Luojing ordered the Law Enforcement Hall enforcers to escort Chen Changming away, while Liu Chengfeng mocked him with the prospect of three hundred years in prison.
• The enforcers brought Chen Changming through the underground prison, where they arranged to lock him beside the old madman.

• The old man stopped laughing, looked at Chen Changming, and asked how he had gotten into the prison.

Imprisoned in the Law Enforcement Hall, Chen Changming encountered a white-haired old man in the neighboring cell who alternated between madness and clarity. He healed the old man’s self-inflicted wounds with the Sweet Dew Art, then returned to resting without learning the man’s identity.

• The white-haired old man mistook Chen Changming for his long-lost eldest son, then raved about something that was gone and clawed his face bloody.
• The old man asked Chen Changming for a Healing Pill, and Chen offered one if he would stay quiet; the old man fell silent for the time it took an incense stick to burn.

• The old man admitted that his mind shifted between lucidity and madness, and Chen recalled Ning Bingyue’s similar condition.
• Chen used the Sweet Dew Art to heal the old man’s wounds and concluded that his cultivation was around the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Chen Changming learned that the mad white-haired old man was connected to the Elder Council’s highest secret, then watched the man get taken to Spirit Charm Elder. Spirit Charm revealed that the old man was her senior brother and that she had been searching his mind for a technique she believed was incomplete.

• Chen Changming questioned two Law Enforcement Hall members about the white-haired old man, but they warned him not to pry into the Elder Council’s highest secret.

• Spirit Charm Elder sealed the old man’s voice and accused him of keeping parts of the technique from her, while he insisted that nothing remained.

Elder Spirit Charm failed to uncover the complete cultivation technique in her senior brother’s memories and ordered him returned to prison, where Chen Changming healed him. Grateful but unwilling to reveal his secret, the white-haired old man offered to teach Chen Changming a basic body-refining technique.

• Elder Spirit Charm searched her senior brother’s sea of consciousness until he was near death, then gave him a Healing Pill and ordered the Law Enforcement Hall members to take him away.
• Elder Spirit Charm privately vowed to kill her senior brother once she obtained the complete cultivation technique and instructed the guards to bring him back in three months.

• Chen Changming asked why the Elder Council was interrogating him, but the white-haired old man refused to explain and offered to teach Chen Changming a basic body-refining technique.

Chen Changming received a demonic body-forging art from the white-haired old man and quickly recognized its kinship with the Undying Demon Heart Art he had cultivated in the Human Realm. He discovered the new version was more complete and left the old man stunned by his rapid progress.

• Chen Changming accepted a Jade Slip containing the white-haired old man's body-tempering technique after promising to stop if it harmed him.

• Chen Changming told the old man that the body-forging art was incomplete and realized it was a more profound Spirit Realm version of the Undying Demon Heart Art.

Chen Changming received the incomplete Undying Demon Heart Art from the white-haired old man, who revealed that Elder Spirit Charm had tortured him for over a thousand years. The old man killed himself to leave behind the complete inheritance, just as Elder Spirit Charm appeared in the cell.

• The white-haired old man taught Chen Changming the remaining incomplete portions of his body-tempering technique and admitted that someone in the Elder Council wanted it.

• Chen Changming hurriedly memorized the floating inheritance as Elder Spirit Charm appeared soundlessly in the cell.

After discovering that her senior brother had passed the Undying Demon Heart Art to Chen Changming, Elder Spirit Charm decided to secretly protect him as the True Demon Sect’s new inheritor. Chen Changming remained wary of being caught between her and Chu Qiushui, but Elder Spirit Charm insisted he call her Martial Aunt in private.

• Elder Spirit Charm arrived after her senior brother’s death and read the complete Undying Demon Heart Art, realizing he had chosen a successor.

Elder Spirit Charm freed Ning Jin from prison after he earned merit by obtaining the rest of a cultivation technique, then brought him to the Law Enforcement Hall.

• Elder Spirit Charm rebuked Liu Chengfeng and struck him across the face, knocking out several teeth.
