• Lu Chen decided Xue Ling'er should learn the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist and told the group to rest before he taught them the Body Sect’s cultivation methods the next day.

Lu Chen proposed a Trapezoidal Gravity Field so the Outer Sect trainees could strengthen their bodies without using Soul Power, and Guan Yi put the training method into practice. The group tested their limits while Du Busi and the elders watched, and Jin Peng decided to ask Luo Feng to become his disciple.

• Lu Chen circulated the Innate Secret Art under twenty-one times gravity and formed golden liquid on his bones as he pursued the Golden Bones stage.
• Lu Chen recognized that completing the four stages would take years and require vast resources, then decided to visit the Mandarin Duck Pot for medicinal herbs and spiritual-power training.

Lu Chen endured Guan Yi’s gravity training to forge Golden Bone, discovering that he could concentrate golden liquid on one bone at a time. After the training ended, the sudden rebound of Soul Power overwhelmed Shi Potian, leaving Twin Fists Douluo to stabilize him.

• Lu Chen used twenty-onefold gravity and Super Recovery to gather two golden droplets on his right index finger until they fused into a single speck.
• Lu Chen decided to forge Golden Bone one bone at a time, beginning with his right hand and arm, while Luo Feng, Shi Potian, and Bei Yuxuan struggled at the edges of the gravity field.
• After two hours of training, Guan Yi and Cold Mountain Douluo watched Lu Chen’s resolve and wondered whether he was striving for Godhood.
• Guan Yi ended the gravity training, and the others began meditating as the released suppression sent a powerful surge of heaven-and-earth energy into their bodies.
• Shi Potian’s Soul Power surged dangerously through his meridians, so Twin Fists Douluo struck his acupoints and guided him until the energy began to settle.

• Lu Chen and the Body Sect elders entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and found its Immortal Herb Soul Beasts cowering in fear.
• Guan Yi, Shen Xiu, Elder White Bone, and Du Busi identified several legendary Immortal Herbs and discussed how they could benefit the sect.

• Lu Chen offered to spare the herbs in exchange for some of their origin essence and help cultivating the elders, while Du Busi threatened them with death and the loss of their Soul Bones.
