Chapter Summaries

Plot and events

• Qin Moyu asks Dugu Bo to let the Blue Silver Clan’s plant-type soul beasts settle at the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Dugu Bo agrees immediately.
• The narration explains that Dugu Bo never understood the well’s true value or the worth of its immortal herbs, which is why he did not resent Tang San for taking them. He had mistaken his generosity for a friendship that would be repaid.
• Qin Moyu then asks Dugu Bo to keep an occasional eye on the Blue Silver King and the others while Qin is busy preparing for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
• Dugu Yan joins in, pleading with her grandfather to help because she and Qin Moyu are busy—and bluntly adds that Qin plans to take her on a date.

• As Qin Moyu turns to work at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, his Herrscher of Reason Divine Core appears and seven Spirit Rings briefly manifest: purple, two black, three red, and a brilliant gold seventh ring.
• Dugu Bo catches a glimpse of the golden ring, but it disappears before he can confirm what he saw. He is left wondering whether he imagined it.
• Back at home, Dugu Bo recalls a legend: gods who ascend to the Divine Realm possess a golden Divine Ring. He begins to suspect that Qin Moyu may be more than an extraordinarily gifted eighteen-year-old Soul Sage.

Plot and character developments

• At Dugu Manor, Dugu Bo urges his granddaughter Dugu Yan to hold on to Qin Moyu, warning that Princess Xue Ke seems close to him.

Qin Moyu planted Ah Yin at the Icefire Yin Yang Well, where she began reviving, and the Blue Silver King thanked him for giving their former empress a chance to be reborn.
