• Nangong Wan sent a sound-transmission talisman through Fang Yu's stone door and waited outside, noticing something that made her call him cautious and thorough.

Just as Nangong Wan prepared to confront them, a Core Formation cultivator arrived, leaving her and Fang Yu scrambling to explain why they were together.

• Nangong Wan captured “Brother Lin’s” spirit, and he offered the Great Development Art in exchange for his life.

• Lei Wanhe asked whether Fang Yu would dual-cultivate with Martial Aunt Hong Fu's disciple, who needed a partner because of her cultivation technique.

After Lei Wanhe left, Fang Yu examined his spoils from the Thousand Bamboo Sect and found the Great Development Technique and the Puppet True Explanation, giving him a path to improve his puppet craft.

• Fang Yu found the Great Development Technique and the Puppet True Explanation on a jade slip, then sorted the spoils, including two Foundation Establishment puppets and numerous other items.

Fang Yu cultivated the Great Development Art after confirming it was safe, hoping to improve his divine sense and strengthen himself for the future. He found the technique difficult but compatible with the Origin Spirit Art, and made cultivation his priority over repairing puppets.

• Fang Yu confirmed the Great Development Art was not a conflicting divine ability and began cultivating it.
• Fang Yu repaired damaged puppets and tested the giant tiger and giant wolf puppets, finding them useful but costly in spirit stones.
• Fang Yu considered how improved divine sense would let him control more magical treasures and support his plans to keep pace with Fang Han and Fang Qingxue.

After meeting Fang Han and offering him a chance to enter the Eclosion Sect, Fang Yu left Fang Han wondering whether he knew about the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill.

• Fang Yu focused on cultivating the Origin Spirit Art, the Great Development Art, and his lightning-element technique while planning to pursue the Great Five-Elements Art after reaching the Supernatural Powers Realm.

• Fang Yu praised Fang Han’s progress and promised to ask Fang Qingxue for an outer disciple examination quota if Fang Han reached the Divine Strength Realm before entering the Eclosion Sect.
• Fang Han suspected Fang Yu knew about his Nine-Aperture Golden Pill because Fang Yu spoke confidently about his chances of reaching the Divine Strength Realm soon.

• Fang Qingwei entered Fang Yu’s courtyard, scorned Fang Han as a servant, and left intending to have Fang Family disciples at Myriad Phenomena Garden teach him a lesson.

• Fang Yu asked Fang Lie to find seven or eight century-old ironwood pieces, then went to Fang Qingxue’s courtyard and learned she was in secluded cultivation.
• Fang Qiang invited Fang Yu to Fang Qingwei’s banquet aboard Splendid Tower, but he refused and returned to his courtyard.

• Fang Yu urged Fang Qingwei to befriend Fang Han, but she said she would play the villain and help tame him; Fang Yu said he trusted Fang Han.

Fang Yu advised Fang Qingwei to focus on cultivation, then asked Fang Zetao to gather rare materials and learned from his martial arts experience. After setting up a formation and receiving the materials, Fang Yu inspected the thousand-year ironwood and recognized the value of iron essence.

• Fang Yu warned Fang Qingwei not to provoke Fang Han and urged her to prepare for the outer sect disciple examination; he realized she had already reached the Breath Realm.

Fang Yu went to Yellow Maple Valley’s Sacred Peak Foothill Hall to use its earth fire to forge Millennium Ironwood puppets, but Li Huayuan’s repeated furnace explosions had devastated the best chamber. Fang Yu decided to use the chamber’s lava for body tempering instead, though he lacked a sufficiently large furnace.

• Fang Yu realized Sacred Peak Foothill Hall’s earth fire could refine Millennium Ironwood and traveled there to borrow a chamber.
• The guards let Fang Yu enter, and he learned that Li Huayuan’s pill furnace had exploded several times, disrupting the earth-fire chambers.
• Li Huayuan warned Fang Yu that the earth fire was unstable, then left to continue refining with his own pill fire.
• The chamber attendant led Fang Yu to the damaged chamber Li Huayuan had used, and Fang Yu sent him away to inspect the lava.
• Fang Yu considered tempering his body in the earth-fire lava to reach the Divine Transformation Realm but noted that he lacked a large enough furnace.

After spending over a year in the Earthfire Chamber, Fang Yu emerged having reached the Divine Transformation Realm and the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Needing more pills to sustain his growth, he visited Lei Wanhe, where Nie Ying and the Murong brothers welcomed him and said their master would soon meet him.

• The ugly man worried about Fang Yu's year-long stay in the Earthfire Chamber, but Fang Yu emerged unharmed and said he had made a small breakthrough.
• Fang Yu returned to his cave abode and reflected on reaching the Divine Transformation Realm, advancing to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and refining more than a dozen puppets.
• Fang Yu realized that his new strength required far more pills than he had, so he decided to seek pill formulas and supplies from Lei Wanhe.
• Fang Yu went to Thundercloud Valley and met Nie Ying and the Murong brothers, who had all come out to greet him.
• Nie Ying told Fang Yu that Lei Wanhe had recently finished refining pills and was preparing to cultivate, then led him into the cave abode and offered him spirit tea while they waited.

• Fang Yu praised Nie Ying's spirit tea, and Lei Wanhe arrived and revealed that Fang Yu had reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
• Lei Wanhe urged Fang Yu to attend the Treasure-Seizing Tournament with Nie Ying, but Fang Yu initially declined because he feared the event was a trap for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

• Lei Wanhe offered Fang Yu his ancient pill formulas if he accompanied Nie Ying to Yan Family Fort and placed in the tournament's top ten, and Fang Yu agreed.
• Lei Wanhe told Fang Yu and Nie Ying to leave for Yan Family Fort the next morning, then asked Nie Ying whether she approved of his plan and reminded her to watch over the Murong brothers.

Fang Yu and Nie Ying traveled to Swallow Feather Mountain for the Yan Family Fort's Treasure-Seizing Tournament, where they met Han Li and Dong Xuan'er. Dong Xuan'er became infatuated with Fang Yu and offered to help him obtain herbs for his pill formula, while Han Li envied Fang Yu and noticed the formula.

• Fang Yu reassured the Murong brothers that he would stop pursuing Nie Ying, then considered ways to obtain pill formulas and hunt demon beasts in the Mortal World.
• Nie Ying questioned the Murong brothers about what Fang Yu had said and ordered them to stay in the cave abode while she and Lei Wanhe were away.
• Fang Yu and Nie Ying arrived at Swallow Feather Mountain for the Yan Family Fort's Treasure-Seizing Tournament and met Han Li and Dong Xuan'er.
• Fang Yu and Nie Ying discussed Han Li's Azure Origin Sword Art, and Dong Xuan'er grew jealous as Nie Ying moved closer to Fang Yu.
• Dong Xuan'er linked her arm through Fang Yu's and offered to help him find herbs for the ancient pill formulas Lei Wanhe had given him.
• Han Li envied Fang Yu's attention from Nie Ying and Dong Xuan'er, then recognized the pill formula as Fang Yu examined it.

Fang Yu and the others were escorted by Yan Yu and Yan Ling into Swallow Feather Fort, where they discovered a confrontation between the Yan Family and cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect. At the arena, Fang Yu’s intimate display with Dong Xuan'er provoked a Feng Family cultivator, who grew wary after learning Fang Yu was Lei Wanhe’s disciple.

• After several days of waiting, Han Li spotted Yan Yu and Yan Ling approaching on two-headed eagles, and Fang Yu introduced his companions.

Meanwhile, Han Li met Mo Caihuan, and Fang Yu secretly left her cultivation manuals and Foundation Establishment Pills to test whether someone without spiritual roots could cultivate.

• Fang Yu predicted the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator would win, and the green-robed man defeated Yan Yu's cousin with his skulls and black beams.
• Wang Chan ended the matches until the Yan Family's Life-and-Death Hall disciples arrived, and Fang Yu considered capturing the Ghost Spirit Sect's young sect master.
• Han Li gave Fang Yu, Nie Ying, and Dong Xuan'er copies of the fort's information, then Fang Yu led the women to a remote inn.

• Fang Yu encountered Dong Xuan'er in the market streets and warned her not to use her charm technique carelessly.
• Fang Yu told Dong Xuan'er about Yunlu Old Devil, prompting her to question why he had brought him up.
• Fang Yu noticed Tian Buque following Dong Xuan'er and invited him to speak privately with them in a teahouse.
• Tian Buque identified himself as an Acacia Sect cultivator and revealed that Dong Xuan'er was Yunlu Old Devil's direct descendant, inviting her to meet the patriarch.
• Dong Xuan'er looked to Fang Yu for advice, and Fang Yu asked Tian Buque whether he knew why the Ghost Spirit Sect had come to Yan Family Fort.

Fang Yu learned that Yan Family Fort planned to hand the Seven Sects’ disciples over to the Ghost Spirit Sect and arranged for Tian Buque to take Dong Xuan’er to the Acacia Sect under strict safeguards. As the treasure-seizing tournament began, the Ghost Spirit Sect prepared a trap on the western peak, and Fang Yu entrusted Nie Ying with a plan to help the Seven Sects’ disciples escape.

• Fang Yu revealed the Ghost Spirit Sect’s purpose at Yan Family Fort and secured Tian Buque’s agreement to take Dong Xuan’er back under a heart demon oath and mutual death restrictions.
• Dong Xuan’er agreed to join the Acacia Sect, and Fang Yu explained that Yan Family Fort had pledged the Seven Sects’ disciples to the Ghost Spirit Sect.

• Fang Yu gave Nie Ying a storage pouch and tasked her with helping the Seven Sects’ disciples escape if the Ghost Spirit Sect’s trap was sprung.
