Chapter Summaries

Wang Mengde visited the Drunken Immortal Tower to cultivate and learned how its ladies were ranked and priced by the purity of their yin-nature power. He met Xue Linglong, the tower’s ninth-layer star, and swore an oath of secrecy to True Person Azure Fall before hearing her disclosure.

• Wang Mengde learned from a maid that the Drunken Immortal Tower’s ladies were divided into heaven, earth, and human tiers, and that a heaven-tier, ninth-layer lady cost a hundred thousand spirit stones for one night.
• Wang Mengde asked to meet the ninth-layer lady and followed the maid to Xue Linglong’s pavilion.
• Wang Mengde met Xue Linglong, whose presence stirred his Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, and greeted the arriving tower master, True Person Azure Fall.
• True Person Azure Fall dismissed the maid and invited Wang Mengde and Xue Linglong into the pavilion.
• True Person Azure Fall asked Wang Mengde to swear he would keep her next words secret, and he swore upon his soul.

Wang Mengde learned that Xue Linglong was a cat-demon hybrid who could be controlled with a Soul-Control Jade Slip, and negotiated with True Person Azure Fall to acquire her. He agreed to pay three hundred thousand spirit stones’ worth of treasures and pill materials, while securing an oath that protected him from hidden control methods and restricted copying of his alchemy materials.

• True Person Azure Fall revealed Xue Linglong’s cat-demon heritage and explained that Wang Mengde would need her Soul-Control Jade Slip to control her safely.
• True Person Azure Fall recognized Wang Mengde from his age, spirit root, spiritual power, and Beast-Taming Bracelet, then explained how she had identified him.
• Wang Mengde and True Person Azure Fall haggled over Xue Linglong’s price, eventually settling on three hundred thousand spirit stones’ worth of valuables.
• Wang Mengde offered copies of nine pill formulas and alchemy notes, along with his Beast-Taming Bracelet, to cover the price.
• Wang Mengde demanded that True Person Azure Fall swear the Soul-Control Jade Slip had no hidden limitations and that she would make only one copy of his formulas and notes.
• True Person Azure Fall swore the requested soul oath, agreeing to the conditions of the deal.
