The human-snake escaped after Zhou Siyi and Liu Jiang were incapacitated by the black-clad men’s bell attack. Song Wen helped save Zhou Siyi, then noticed the human-snake’s extraordinary healing and wondered about its connection to the Azure Jade Snake.

• A black-clad man’s superior flying sword defeated Liu Jiang’s sword while the bell left Zhou Siyi barely able to stand.
• Zhou Siyi summoned her black eagle, which drove back the sword-wielding man, but the bell’s attack made her fall into the lake and weakened the formation.

• Fang Pengyi told Huo Ding to study pill refinement under the elders while he entered seclusion, and arranged instruction for Zhou Siyi.

After being promoted to Patron Elder, Zhou Siyi joined Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun in attending Rong Jingyun’s alchemy lecture. Song Wen asked Rong Jingyun about a friend’s failed attempts to refine an ancient pill, but she could only offer general possibilities without seeing its formula.

• Zhou Siyi refused to discuss the secret Spirit-Nurturing Workshop mission, while Huo Ding speculated that Cai Jinglue might teach them alchemy.

After nearly four years of research, Song Wen successfully refined a new pill that he named the Blood Spirit Pill, then tested its toxicity on wild rabbits. He also ended his dealings with Hao Quan after Hao Quan asked him to help capture a fire lizard, and the chapter left Song Wen facing evidence that the pill’s residual potency could kill.

• Rong Jingyun’s insights helped Song Wen break through his difficulties developing the Bloodburst Pill, and Song Wen later received alchemy instruction from Cai Jinglue.
• After more than four months of further research, Song Wen successfully formed a new pill, named it the Blood Spirit Pill, and decided to test it before taking it himself.

• Lu Weicai told Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun that the West Mountain Cheng Clan had requested help against a mid-stage second-order blood demon that was difficult to track.
• Lu Weicai assigned Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun to refine Demon-Luring Powder and assist the Cheng Clan, ordering them to arrive within seven days.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun arrived at the Cheng Family of West Mountain to deal with a blood demon that had devastated the family. While Zuo Shuiyun began preparing to refine Demon-Luring Powder, Song Wen investigated the estate and promised Qiulu he would kill the demon.

• Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun reached the Cheng Family, where Cheng Ruidá said a blood demon had reduced the family from over sixty thousand people to just over eight thousand.
• Zuo Shuiyun insisted on refining the second-tier Demon-Luring Powder alone and dismissed Song Wen from the alchemy chamber.
• Song Wen stayed behind, suspicious of the Cheng Family, and asked the maidservant Qiulu about the estate and the blood demon.
• Qiulu said the demon had killed her family and begged Song Wen to avenge them.
• Song Wen promised Qiulu he would slay the blood demon, and she led him to the guest quarters.

Song Wen used the Sacred Beetle Gu to investigate the Cheng Family and uncovered signs of surveillance, a strange distribution of cultivators, and poisoned mortals dependent on pills for survival. The chapter left him suspecting that the toxin was what kept the mortals from fleeing.

• Song Wen sent six Sacred Beetle Gu to search the Cheng Family and discovered a hidden array in a lakeside rockery that concealed people monitoring him.
• Qiulu reported to Cheng Ruidá that Song Wen had arrived and seemed unsuspecting, and Cheng Ruidá ordered Cheng Five and Cheng Seven to watch him closely.

The Blood Demon entered maturity after gorging on Huo Yangyin and abducted more than a dozen women from the Cheng Family. Five days later, Zuo Shuiyun emerged with the Demon-Luring Powder, and Cheng Ruidá planned to use it that night while Song Wen kept his suspicions about the family’s motives to himself.

• The Blood Demon slipped into the Cheng Family’s spirit fields, ate dozens of Huo Yangyin plants, and devised a more terrifying way to take revenge.
• Cheng Ruidá learned that more than a dozen women had vanished and concluded that the Blood Demon had reached maturity.
• Cheng Ruidá visited Song Wen and asked him to help Zuo Shuiyun refine the Demon-Luring Powder, but Song Wen declined.
• Song Wen recalled that his Sacred Beetle Gu had tracked the Blood Demon and suspected Cheng Ruidá had been testing him, since the Cheng Family had left its mortal compound unguarded.
• Five days later, Qiulu summoned Song Wen to meet Zuo Shuiyun, who had emerged from seclusion after refining the powder.
• Cheng Ruidá proposed using the Demon-Luring Powder that night to lure the Blood Demon, and Zuo Shuiyun and Song Wen agreed to help.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun helped Cheng Ruidá lure the Blood Demon into a formation and capture it. Though Cheng Ruidá wanted them to stay for a public execution and rewards, Song Wen urged an immediate return to the sect, and Zuo Shuiyun agreed.

• Cheng Ruidá arranged for the Cheng Family to trap the Blood Demon in a spirit-rice paddy using Demon-Luring Powder and a basin of blood essence.
• The Blood Demon took the bait, but a formation sprang up and trapped it inside.
• Cheng Ruidá intensified the formation’s golden light until the Blood Demon was badly weakened, then stopped to save it for a public execution.
• Cheng Ruidá asked Zuo Shuiyun and Song Wen to remain for the execution and promised them generous gifts.
• Song Wen insisted that he and Zuo Shuiyun leave that night, and Zuo Shuiyun agreed after suspecting he had noticed something about the blood essence.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun discovered Cheng Ruidá had been killing his own clansmen and planned to force them to help refine a pill. Cheng Ruidá subdued the blood demon and brought the pair to a hidden cavern, where he gave them the pill formula and instructions.

• Song Wen's Sacred Beetle Gu found a cavern with a dried blood pool and a pile of recently killed bodies, revealing that the Cheng Family's deaths were not all caused by the blood demon.

• Cheng Ruidá gave Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun jade slips containing the pill formula and refinement techniques, explaining that he needed their help because the process was complex and prolonged.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun helped Cheng Ruidá refine the Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill, then sought permission to leave the Cheng Family. Cheng Ruidá sent Song Wen away and made Zuo Shuiyun a private proposal, which enraged her; the chapter ended with him offering her five thousand spirit stones.

• Zuo Shuiyun and Song Wen examined Cheng Ruidá's concealed second-tier pill formula and realized he had likely arranged the Cheng Family's crisis from the start.
• Cheng Ruidá ordered Cheng Han to guard the group as he directed Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun through half a month of refining.
• Cheng Ruidá successfully refined the Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill and considered using Zuo Shuiyun to drain the Blood Demon's vital essence.

• Cheng Ruidá sent Song Wen away and privately proposed a favor to Zuo Shuiyun; she refused angrily, and he offered her five thousand spirit stones.

Cheng Ruidá tried to pressure Zuo Shuiyun into helping subdue the Blood Demon, which broke free and attacked him. Song Wen used the ensuing chaos to escape, killed Cheng Han, and searched his memories, learning that Cheng Ruidá’s return from an ancient ruin eight years earlier began the Cheng Family’s nightmare.

• Cheng Ruidá offered Zuo Shuiyun up to thirty thousand spirit stones to use a dual cultivation technique with the Blood Demon, but she hesitated and refused outright.

• Song Wen performed the Soul Search Technique on Cheng Han and learned that Cheng Ruidá’s return from ancient ruins eight years earlier had started the Cheng Family’s nightmare.

Song Wen learned from Cheng Han’s memories that Cheng Ruidá had used the Blood Curse Art to turn a spirit monkey into a blood demon by sacrificing thousands of Cheng Family members. After killing Cheng Han and capturing Qiulu, Song Wen headed for the underground cavern to uncover Cheng Ruidá’s memories about the Divine Blood Sect.

• Cheng Ruidá concealed mass deaths and disappearances in the Cheng Family while secretly feeding clan members to a spirit monkey cursed with the Blood Curse Art.
• The blood demon grew to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and Cheng Ruidá asked the Beast Taming Sect for help while keeping surviving mortals under poison control.
• Song Wen learned from Cheng Han’s memories that the Blood Curse Art came from the Divine Blood Sect and that Cheng Ruidá had planned to cultivate another blood demon.
• Song Wen devoured Cheng Han’s blood essence and soul, then received Cheng Five, Cheng Seven, and Qiulu from his Sacred Beetle Gu.
• Song Wen recognized Qiulu as Cheng Ruidá’s daughter, devoured her and the two dead witnesses, and flew to the underground cavern seeking Cheng Ruidá’s memories.

Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun joined forces to kill Cheng Ruidá and capture the wounded blood demon, then divided the spoils. After leaving the Cheng Family, they settled in separate caves, each preparing to pursue a private goal.

• Song Wen attacked Cheng Ruidá while the blood demon pinned him down, and Zuo Shuiyun joined the fight after learning Song Wen had killed Cheng Han.
• Cheng Ruidá wounded the blood demon with a short blade, but Song Wen pierced him with a flying sword and Zuo Shuiyun beheaded him.

• Song Wen and Zuo Shuiyun agreed that she would take the blood demon and Blood Puppet Spirit-Refining Pill while he kept the rest of Cheng Ruidá's belongings.
• Song Wen trapped Cheng Ruidá's soul inside his head, and the two cultivators traveled to a distant mountain and entered separate cave dwellings.
• Song Wen planned to search Cheng Ruidá's soul while Zuo Shuiyun prepared to subdue the blood demon.

Song Wen searched the ruins where Cheng Ruidá had found the Blood Curse Technique, hoping for clues about the Divine Blood Sect, but a mysterious formation transported him to an ancient underground hall. There, he found three groups of Foundation Establishment cultivators facing off around a palace guarded by thirteen statues.

• Zuo Shuiyun told Song Wen she would remain in seclusion to subdue the blood demon, and they agreed to meet again in a month.
• Song Wen traveled to a remote valley and entered the underground ruins described in Cheng Ruidá's memories.
• Song Wen searched the cave, found no useful clues, and was suddenly transported away by cyan light.
• Song Wen arrived in an ancient underground hall where eight cultivators in azure robes, four Buddhist cultivators, and six Rogue Cultivators confronted one another beside two slain bodies.

Song Wen was teleported into Blood Cloud Cave, where gravity, flight, and divine-sense restrictions trapped him in a plaza with Tang Fu, Zhong Liang, Miaofa, and their followers. After scouting the plaza, he headed toward the great hall, where the others had gone in search of treasure and a way out.

• Tang Fu accused Miaofa and his monks of causing the restrictions to activate by killing two of Zhong Liang's subordinates, and Zhong Liang urged the groups to cooperate.
• Song Wen appeared at the great hall's entrance through a Teleportation Array, and Tang Fu ordered him away from the doors as they opened.
• Each group sent one person into the great hall, and the explorers inside reported that it was safe to enter.
• Song Wen discovered that gravity restrictions, flight restrictions, and a limit on his divine sense prevented him from leaving or surveying beyond the plaza.
• Song Wen used a glowing stone to inspect Blood Cloud Cave, spotted a cave opening and waterfall, and then walked toward the great hall.

Song Wen searched the empty grand hall before Tang Fu’s group ordered him to attack the mysterious stone statues. When their burly subordinate attacked him instead, Song Wen used his Turtle-Snake Shield and lightning-charged lance to kill him, leaving the conflict with Tang Fu’s group unresolved.

• Tang Fu and Zhong Liang’s groups searched the grand hall but found nothing, while Miaofa asked what they were seeking and Tang Fu threatened him.
• Song Wen searched the side halls and rear hall, found them empty, and later joined the others outside the grand hall.
• After hours without a way out, Tang Fu’s group focused on the thirteen strange stone statues and Tang Fu ordered a subordinate to force Song Wen to attack them.
• Song Wen refused the subordinate’s order, blocked his punch with the Turtle-Snake Shield, and stabbed him with a lightning-charged lance.
• Song Wen’s lightning destroyed the subordinate’s internal organs and burst his body apart before Tang Fu could stop him.

Song Wen entered the underground treasure site after the awakened statues killed the cultivators left in the plaza, then followed Tang Fu and the others to an ancient stone hall. There, the group defeated twenty dried corpses and confronted four stronger guardians beside a bronze coffin, while Miaofa asked Tang Fu and Zhong Liang what they sought.

• The thirteen statues in the plaza awakened after Song Wen killed a cultivator, and Tang Fu led the group into the opening beneath them.
• Song Wen used lightning to send a Tang Family cultivator into a statue’s attack, then entered the hole and ambushed another pursuer from below.
• Song Wen descended to an underground river, followed Tang Fu and the others to a vast lake, and sent a Sacred Beetle Gu into the stone hall.
• Tang Fu, Miaofa, Zhong Liang, and the others fought twenty indestructible dried corpses, with Miaofa and the monks using Buddhist arts to destroy many of them.
• The group cleared the hall’s ordinary corpses and faced four stronger dried corpses standing beside a bronze coffin, while Miaofa asked Tang Fu and Zhong Liang what they were searching for.

Zhong Liang and Tang Fu explained their search for Blood Cloud Cave and joined forces with Miaofa and the other monks to confront its Copper Corpses. After Tang Fu failed to pierce the barrier protecting the platform, Zhong Liang volunteered to lure one Copper Corpse away so the others could attack it separately.

• Zhong Liang told Miaofa and the others how he and Tang Fu had found Blood Cloud Cave while seeking a cultivation method that could help them form golden cores.
• Miaofa agreed to cooperate with Zhong Liang and Tang Fu, and Zhong Liang welcomed the monks' help against the Copper Corpses.
• Miaofa suspected the four Copper Corpses were bound to the platform, but Tang Fu's Flame Apex Whip struck an unbroken barrier formed by their corpse qi.
• Zhong Liang proposed luring a Copper Corpse off the platform to break the formation, and Miaofa and Tang Fu promised to cover his retreat.
• Zhong Liang walked alone toward the platform to draw a Copper Corpse away.

Zhong Liang lured the four Copper Corpses off the platform with chunks of flesh, trapping Tang Fu, Miaofa, and the others in the stone hall. While they fought the corpses, Zhong Liang opened the Bronze Corpse Coffin and found an eerie statue carved from soul-nourishing wood, leaving him disappointed and wary.

• Zhong Liang used blood-red chunks of flesh to lure the four Copper Corpses away from the platform, then approached the Bronze Corpse Coffin.
• The stone hall's doors shut, trapping Tang Fu, Miaofa, and the others as the Copper Corpses attacked them.
• Miaofa and the others fought the Copper Corpses, and Miaofa destroyed one with his Buddhist arts and monk's staff.
• Miaofa refused to help fight the remaining corpses because killing another would exhaust his spiritual energy.
• Zhong Liang opened the coffin and found a lifelike naked young woman's statue made of soul-nourishing wood, but hesitated to touch it and was disappointed by his discovery.

Zhong Liang uncovered two blood-colored Jade Slips beneath the overturned Bronze Corpse Coffin, while the released wooden effigy drove the Copper Corpses into a frenzy. The survivors broke through the stone door only to find Song Wen and his Silver Corpse blocking the exit as the Copper Corpses closed in behind them.

• Miaofa's staff overturned the Bronze Corpse Coffin, exposing two blood-colored Jade Slips that Zhong Liang took before fleeing the wooden effigy.
• Tang Fu agreed to trust Zhong Liang and help break the stone door after Zhong Liang promised to share the cultivation method, while Miaofa and three monks fought the frenzied Copper Corpses.
• Miaofa used a sarira to immobilize the Copper Corpses, but they tore apart his three fellow monks before the sarira cracked and shattered.
• The group broke open the stone door, but a Tang Family cultivator was killed by Song Wen's Silver Corpse, which guarded the exit.
• Song Wen demanded the Jade Slips, and Zhong Liang rallied everyone to attack the Silver Corpse as the freed Copper Corpses charged from behind.
• Song Wen summoned the Black-Armored Ghost King, while the Silver Corpse sent three corpse-qi claws tearing into the hall.

Song Wen recovered the two jade slips after killing Zhong Liang, but the awakened wooden statue, Blood Brow, blocked the survivors and attacked their souls. Song Wen resisted her spiritual attacks and summoned the Great Cavern Divine Thunder, which stripped away many of the statue’s magical patterns.

• Zhong Liang tried to escape by detonating Blood Shadow Poison, but Song Wen emerged unharmed and the Ghost King beheaded him.
• Song Wen took Zhong Liang’s storage ring, confirmed the two jade slips were inside, and sealed Zhong Liang’s soul in his severed head.
• Blood Brow emerged from the wooden statue and sent wyrm phantoms to attack Song Wen, Tang Fu, and Miaofa; Song Wen’s soul devoured his attacker, while Miaofa lost his soul.
• Tang Fu used the Flame Apex Whip to destroy one wyrm, then threw Tang Si into another wyrm’s path before the phantom caught and took Tang Fu’s soul as well.
• Blood Brow stopped Song Wen’s Blood Escape Technique, so he summoned the silver corpse and Ghost King and cast the Great Cavern Divine Thunder.
• Blood Brow welcomed the lightning, which washed over the wooden statue and erased more than half its magical patterns, scorching much of its soul-nourishing wood.

Song Wen escaped Blood Brow after she possessed his silver corpse, then captured three bronze corpses and fled through the underground river. He emerged at the foot of a mountain and flew toward the cave where Zuo Shuiyun was in seclusion.

• Blood Brow abandoned part of her soul to escape Song Wen’s devouring power, then possessed his silver corpse and fled upstream.
• Song Wen chased the silver corpse but lost it beyond the reach of his spiritual sense.
• Song Wen subdued three bronze corpses with the Binding Spirit Rope, lightning, and the Ghost King, then stored them in his corpse-nurturing coffin.
• Song Wen collected the storage rings and bronze corpse coffin before leaving the stone hall downstream, avoiding the route to Blood Cloud Cave.
• After two days traveling through underground passages, Song Wen emerged at a mountain’s shaded foot and flew toward the cave where Zuo Shuiyun was in seclusion.

Song Wen refined three Copper Corpses and examined the Corpse King Reincarnation Art, learning that it united the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art and the Longevity Art. He also read Blood Brow’s account of her capture and imprisonment, which ended with her unable to escape the Bronze Corpse Coffin guarded by twenty-four Copper Corpses.

• Song Wen secluded himself to refine three Copper Corpses, then began turning the strongest into a pseudo-third-tier Silver Corpse before sealing the unfinished refinement ahead of his meeting with Zuo Shuiyun.
• Song Wen studied the Corpse King Reincarnation Art and realized it shared a source with the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art and the Longevity Art.
• Song Wen decided not to switch cultivation arts because doing so would require him to disperse his cultivation, find scarce corpse-path materials, and risk exposure while hiding in the Beast Taming Sect.
• Song Wen read Blood Brow’s account and learned that she had been a Nascent Soul Middle Stage elder of Blood Cloud Cave who was captured after plotting to steal the Divine Blood Sect’s cultivation art.
• Blood Brow’s soul grew strong enough to move her Soul Shackle, but the twenty-four Copper Corpses guarding her Bronze Corpse Coffin prevented her escape.
