• After returning to Chang’an, Jiang Yuechu asks about the mysterious old Daoist who had agreed to guard the city in her absence.
• She learns that Wu Shisan has taken his young disciple to Pingkang Ward, specifically the Drunken Immortal Tower, claiming to be “tempering his heart amid the mortal world.”
• Jiang visits him and finds Wu Shisan in a private room with a courtesan. He has apparently spent the previous night there but is refusing to pay, attempting instead to lecture the woman on Buddhist- and Daoist-like philosophies about letting go of worldly attachments.
• The courtesan exposes his hypocrisy, grabbing him by the collar and demanding payment. Jiang intervenes, pays her generously, and dismisses her from the room.
• After the woman leaves, Jiang thanks Wu Shisan for protecting Chang’an but questions whether his stated reason for remaining in the city is genuine.
• Wu Shisan admits that Jiang is too perceptive to deceive. He reveals that he comes from the Tai’a Lineage of Mysterious Truth Grotto-Heaven and explains that his presence in Chang’an is connected to a dangerous conflict within the orthodox Daoist lineages.
• He says the Tai’a Lineage recently clashed with the hostile Sangshu Lineage. Wu Shisan killed eight True Persons of Sangshu during the confrontation, provoking the possibility of retaliation.
• The chapter ends as Wu Shisan explains that the Sangshu Lineage prefers indirect and underhanded methods. Because his origins are known, they may trace him to Chang’an and bring danger there.

Character Developments

• Jiang Yuechu is shown to be composed, perceptive, and increasingly powerful. Having reached the Tower-Climbing Realm, she is now capable of demanding the truth from Wu Shisan rather than accepting his evasions.
• Wu Shisan is presented comically as shameless and hypocritical, but the chapter reveals a more serious and dangerous side. His carefree behavior hides considerable strength, a violent past conflict, and concern that his enemies may pursue him.
• Wu Shisan’s young disciple remains embarrassed and uncomfortable with his master’s behavior, especially during the scene at the pleasure house. His reaction also hints that he knows the true severity of the conflict Wu Shisan describes.
• The courtesan serves as a humorous counterweight to Wu Shisan’s lofty preaching. She immediately exposes the gap between his supposed spiritual wisdom and his unwillingness to pay his bill.
• The emperor and Li Clan Ancestor appear cautious toward Wu Shisan, respecting the protection he offers while quietly monitoring him because his background remains uncertain.

Significant Themes

• Appearance versus reality: Wu Shisan presents himself as a carefree, worldly Daoist, but his true purpose and history are much more serious.
• Hypocrisy and worldly attachment: His sermon about abandoning desire is comically undermined by his attempt to avoid paying for his own indulgence.
• Trust and suspicion: Jiang appreciates Wu Shisan’s aid but refuses to accept his explanation without scrutiny, emphasizing that goodwill does not eliminate the need for caution.
• Factional conflict and hidden danger: The orthodox lineages are not united; rivalries can lead to bloodshed, revenge, and threats extending into the mortal world.
• Power and responsibility: Wu Shisan’s strength allowed him to kill eight powerful opponents, but that same strength has created consequences for himself and potentially for Chang’an.

Character Interactions

• The emperor and Li Clan Ancestor discuss Wu Shisan’s unusual behavior while maintaining discreet surveillance of him.
• Wu Shisan attempts to manipulate the courtesan through spiritual rhetoric, but she forcefully rejects his preaching and demands payment.
• Jiang Yuechu handles the dispute calmly, pays the courtesan, and asserts her authority.
• Jiang and Wu Shisan then shift from comic confrontation to a serious conversation about his origins, motives, and enemies.
• Their exchange establishes mutual recognition: Wu Shisan acknowledges Jiang’s intelligence and growing power, while Jiang makes clear that she will not tolerate being misled.

• Jiang Yuechu asked Wu Shisan what he meant by tempering the primordial spirit.

Chapter Summary: “He Could Be Your Grandfather”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Wu Shisan explains that the Tower-Climbing Realm differs from lower realms because cultivators can temper their Primordial Spirits by fusing them with rare spiritual materials.
• The Primordial Spirit has limitless potential compared with the physical body, allowing external forces—such as extreme yang flames or yin ice—to become part of a cultivator’s power.
• Jiang Yuechu realizes that her Flesh-and-Bone Furnace talent may allow her body to undergo a similar process, absorbing treasures and artifacts to strengthen her flesh and bones.
• Recalling her recent battle with the Five Immortals, Jiang recognizes that although her Primordial Spirit is exceptionally powerful, it lacks refinement and flexibility. She accepts Wu Shisan’s advice to seek out rare treasures before confronting Five Immortals Mountain again.
• Wu Shisan gives her several notebooks containing maps, local information, and records of unusual spiritual auras, providing her with valuable guidance for finding suitable materials.
• He then asks Jiang to take his disciple along on her journey so the boy can gain experience and stop acting arrogantly.
• The disciple initially presents himself as a harmless child, but Wu Shisan reveals that his Primordial Spirit fused with a special object, causing him to rejuvenate physically. Despite his appearance, he is old enough to be Jiang’s grandfather.
• The child identifies himself as Wang Ziyu, a successor of the Tai’a lineage and a Second-Tier Tower-Climbing Realm cultivator—stronger than Jiang.
• Jiang agrees to take him with her and immediately prepares to leave.

Character Developments

• Jiang Yuechu becomes more aware of the nature and limitations of her new realm. She recognizes the need to develop her Primordial Spirit rather than relying solely on its naturally high attributes.
• Her discovery that the Flesh-and-Bone Furnace may provide a parallel method of body tempering expands her understanding of her own unusual abilities.
• Jiang also demonstrates practical judgment: although she is wary of bringing a supposed child on a dangerous journey, she accepts once she learns Wang Ziyu’s true strength.
• Wu Shisan shifts from his usual lazy, teasing manner into a serious mentor figure. He offers Jiang meaningful instruction, resources, and indirect protection while remaining mindful of the Tai’a lineage’s restrictions.
• Wang Ziyu is established as a powerful but immature character. He dislikes having his age and secrets exposed, and his attempt to appear harmless suggests vanity and a mischievous desire to exploit his youthful appearance.

Significant Themes

• Growth through external resources: Advancement in the Tower-Climbing Realm requires absorbing and refining treasures from the outside world rather than relying only on innate strength.
• Potential versus refinement: Jiang possesses an excellent foundation, but raw power alone is insufficient; her abilities must be properly tempered to handle stronger Primordial Spirit battles.
• Appearance versus reality: Wang Ziyu looks like a child but is actually an ancient and powerful cultivator, emphasizing that age and appearance cannot be trusted.
• Mentorship and preparation: Wu Shisan’s guidance shows that experience, knowledge, and preparation are essential for surviving future conflicts.

• Jiang receives his notebooks with gratitude, recognizing their practical value.

• Wang Ziyu tries to maintain dignity and impress Jiang, but his master repeatedly undermines his attempt to appear mature or harmless.
• Jiang and Wang’s partnership is established at the end of the chapter, with Jiang agreeing to lead him on her search for tempering materials.

Jiang Yuechu traveled west with Wang Ziyu and the Red Sun Demon Venerable to find the Twelve-Colored Rosy Cloud Silver, a treasure suited to tempering her Primordial Spirit. After learning that a powerful cultivator had already claimed it, she continued onward, determined to take it.

• Jiang Yuechu left Chang'an carrying the Red Sun Demon Venerable and traveling with Wang Ziyu.
• Wang Ziyu asked whether he could marry Jiang Yuechu, then admitted that he wanted to kiss her lips; she dismissed his confession without anger.
• Wang Ziyu recognized that Jiang Yuechu was heading west to seek the Twelve-Colored Rosy Cloud Silver and explained its properties and value to her cultivation.
• Wang Ziyu warned that someone at least in the Tower-Climbing Realm had already claimed the treasure, but Jiang Yuechu continued toward it, saying it deserved a better owner.

Chapter Summary: Five Immortals Mountain

Key Plot Points and Events

• The five True Persons of Five Immortals Mountain return in defeat from Chang’an as battered, illusory Primordial Spirits after their physical bodies were destroyed.
• Red Toad True Person furiously vows revenge, while Yellow Centipede True Person silently assesses the situation. He is especially resentful that the others abandoned him during the battle and only became bold again after escaping.
• Yellow Centipede briefly considers devouring the other four Primordial Spirits, but decides they are more useful alive as expendable fighters.
• He suppresses the group’s panic and orders all disciples from the five lineages to return to the mountain. He declares that, in half a month, they will attack and flatten Chang’an.
• Elsewhere, Jiang Yuechu travels beyond Great Tang with Wang Ziyu and the old flood dragon to locate the Twelve-Colored Rosy Cloud Silver.
• After crossing barren wilderness and avoiding dangerous terrain, they arrive at a towering mountain where the treasure is hidden.
• Before entering, Wang Ziyu warns Jiang Yuechu about the dangers of the outside cultivation world and gives her three rules:
  1. Do not ask about other cultivators’ origins.
  2. Do not reveal her own background, especially her connection to Great Tang.
  3. Avoid fighting when possible, but if combat is unavoidable, eliminate all threats completely.
• Jiang Yuechu dismisses his lengthy lecture as nagging but continues forward, with Wang Ziyu following closely behind.

Character Developments

• Yellow Centipede True Person: Reveals himself as calculating and distrustful. Though publicly leading the group toward revenge, he privately views the other True Persons as cowardly “old dogs” and potential cannon fodder. His injuries and humiliation deepen his resentment.
• The other four True Persons: Their outrage over losing their bodies contrasts with their earlier cowardice. They are portrayed as blustering after the danger has passed.
• Jiang Yuechu: Remains calm, confident, and impatient with unnecessary advice. Her willingness to proceed despite the danger shows her bold and reckless nature.
• Wang Ziyu: Acts as an experienced guide and mentor, warning Jiang Yuechu about the rules of the wider cultivation world. Despite his complaints, he remains loyal and follows her.
• Old flood dragon: Serves as Jiang Yuechu’s carried companion during the journey, visibly suffering from the strong winds.

Significant Themes

• Cowardice versus courage: The defeated cultivators loudly demand revenge but previously fled when the battle turned against them.
• The cost of cultivation: The destruction of the True Persons’ innate bodies is treated as a profound personal loss, even though their Primordial Spirits survived.
• Survival and ruthless pragmatism: Yellow Centipede’s willingness to use or even devour his allies reflects the brutal, competitive nature of the cultivation world.
• The dangers of the wider world: Wang Ziyu emphasizes secrecy, restraint, and eliminating threats, suggesting that ignorance and carelessness can endanger both individuals and entire nations.

• Wang Ziyu attempts to educate Jiang Yuechu about worldly dangers, but she responds with indifference and calls him overly talkative.
• Despite their contrasting personalities—his caution and her impulsiveness—Wang Ziyu continues to accompany and protect her as they approach the treasure site.

Jiang Yuechu arrived as the Crimson Silk Demon Emperor and the old bull fought over the twelve-colored rosy cloud silver, then claimed the treasure for herself. Her declaration left both demons furious and set the stage for a confrontation.

• Hong Ling tried to seize the twelve-colored rosy cloud silver from the old bull, who accused him of betraying their trust and threatened to call on the Lord of the Domain.
• Hong Ling prepared to kill the old bull rather than let anyone learn what happened.
• Jiang Yuechu descended with the half-dead Old Flood Dragon, while Wang Ziyu accompanied her.
• Jiang Yuechu asked whether the treasure belonged to the old bull and whether Hong Ling meant to steal it.
• Jiang Yuechu declared that neither demon would get the treasure because it was hers, and Wang Ziyu silently stepped back.

• The Crimson Silk Demon Emperor realized Jiang Yuechu’s fist was also poisoned and wondered if she was human.

Jiang Yuechu used poison, overwhelming physical strength, and her revealed True Dragon form to defeat the Crimson Silk Demon Emperor. As she prepared to kill him, he revealed that Spirit Mountain had already received news of her identity, putting her at risk of a hunt across the Eastern Region.

• Jiang Yuechu’s poisonous mist stopped the Crimson Silk Demon Emperor’s wounds from healing, and she beat his body into ruin.

• Jiang Yuechu transformed into a True Dragon and crushed and devoured most of the Crimson Silk Demon Emperor’s primordial spirit.

Jiang Yuechu weighed whether to kill Niu Ben after learning that Grotto-Heavens might hunt her for being a True Dragon, and Niu Ben offered to serve as her hostage while the Myriad Demon Marsh provoked Spirit Mountain. As Jiang Yuechu considered his offer, Chiyang rushed to discredit him and urged her to kill him.

• Niu Ben warned Jiang Yuechu that Spirit Mountain and other Grotto-Heavens might capture her to exploit her True Dragon heritage.
• Jiang Yuechu prepared to kill Niu Ben, but he offered to send a message to the Myriad Demon Marsh and remain in her service as a hostage.
• Jiang Yuechu considered using Niu Ben to help distract Spirit Mountain and as a shield against Five Immortals Mountain.
• Chiyang feared that Niu Ben would replace him as Jiang Yuechu's favored servant, so he accused Niu Ben of being a treacherous threat and urged Jiang Yuechu to kill him.

• Wang Ziyu told Jiang Yuechu about the Mystic Continent and Daiyu, explaining that cultivators sought the Eastern Region for its abundance.

• Niu Ben and the Red Sun Demon Venerable tried to approach, but Wang Ziyu stopped them and guarded Jiang Yuechu's body as her primordial spirit seized the silver light.
