Recaps

Lin Fan awakened in the body of a seventeen-year-old fugitive in a remote mountain village and reunited with his younger sister, Lin Ruoruo. He discovered he had a Recharge Pay-to-Win System that boosted cultivation according to how much silver he spent.

• Lin Fan repeatedly called for a system until the Recharge Pay-to-Win System awakened and explained that recharging silver multiplied his daily cultivation results.
• Lin Fan learned the system screen was visible only to him and that the cost of a given multiplier would not increase while he remained in the Three Body-Tempering Realms.

Lin Fan discovered that the system’s tenfold cultivation speed could overcome his mediocre Bone Aptitude, then began preparing to cultivate after tending to his hunger and injuries. He activated one day of accelerated cultivation and learned that he could pause its countdown, though cultivation would then receive no amplification.

• Lin Fan exchanged one tael of silver to activate the system and confirmed that tenfold was its minimum cultivation multiplier.

• Lin Fan carried two goat legs home, and Lin Ruoruo ran to meet him and said she had stayed home all day.

Lin Fan cultivated while leading the hunting party to catch wild goats, then arranged for Uncle Wang to sell his live goats in town. As the party set off with the prey and his family’s grain running low, Lin Fan planned to use the expected silver to accelerate his cultivation and reach the Muscle Refinement Realm.

• Uncle Wang led the hunting party toward town with five or six wheelbarrows carrying live goats and other prey.
• Lin Fan stayed home to cultivate and look after his younger sister while awaiting the party’s return and the silver he hoped to use for thirtyfold acceleration.

Lin Fan used the silver from the hunting team's successful sale to activate thirtyfold cultivation acceleration and grew confident he would soon advance further. When he joined the team to check their traps, he and Uncle Wang heard a wild boar squealing in a pit and rushed over to deal with it.

• Lin Fan raised the rat for several days while cultivating at home and letting Lin Ruoruo play with it.
• Uncle Wang’s group returned to the village with Lin Fan’s technique books and the remaining thirty-two taels of silver, which Lin Fan accepted.

• Lin Fan recharged his system with silver and discovered that the cultivation multiplier also accelerated his study of the Beast Taming Art.

• Lin Fan led three villagers after Mao Mao while the rest of the hunting team checked traps along their usual route.
• Mao Mao led Lin Fan and the villagers to medicinal herbs, and they gathered nearly a hundred taels’ worth before midday.
• Lin Fan rewarded Mao Mao, returned to Small Mountain Village with the herbs, left them with villagers who could preserve them, and went home to cultivate.

Lin Fan used his gathered herbs to break through into the Muscle Refinement Realm, then practiced the Disguise Art so he could accompany the hunting party to town. After accumulating nearly three hundred taels’ worth of herbs, he prepared to leave for the sale with Uncle Wang and the others.

• Lin Fan accepted the offer and brought out the rest of his medicinal herbs.
• Su Qingwei began inspecting and registering the herbs as Lin Fan looked away after staring at her.

• Lin Fan returned to his hut, reassured Ruo Ruo, and shared snacks with her and Mao Mao.
• After cultivating at dawn, Lin Fan handed out snacks to the village children and planned another herb-gathering trip.
• Lin Fan and the villagers followed Mao Mao through the mountains, collecting herbs and checking traps for prey.
• Lin Fan reflected on his growing earnings and his interest in Su Qingwei, then refocused on improving his cultivation.
• That evening, Lin Fan kept the herbs to study their properties and alternated between practicing the Azure Cloud Method and Alchemy.

Lin Fan mastered basic alchemy, gathered nearly all the herbs in the mountains around Small Mountain Village, and prepared to sell them in town. He left with the village hunting team, hoping to earn enough silver to support his cultivation toward the Bone Refinement Realm.

• Lin Fan used his enhanced comprehension to memorize alchemy knowledge and became an initiate after a day of study.
• Lin Fan and Mao Mao searched the mountains around Small Mountain Village for more than ten days and gathered over ten baskets of herbs.

• Lin Fan rejoined Uncle Wang and the hunting party, who bought fireworks before the group left town for Small Mountain Village.

Lin Fan discovered that four White Ram Gang members were following his group to investigate the value of their goods, so he confronted them after leading the party beyond the town. He learned that Steward Fang had sent them and began questioning them about the gang’s strength.

• Lin Fan noticed several people following the hunting party and waited until they were far from town before confronting them.
• Lin Fan forced four White Ram Gang members out of hiding and demonstrated his strength by splitting a boulder with his spear.
• The gang members’ leader confessed that Steward Fang had sent them to find out where the group was going and how many Silver Taels they had received.
• The leader said Steward Fang was at the Late Skin Tempering Realm, but concealed the order to act if an opportunity arose.
• Lin Fan asked the kneeling men what martial arts experts the White Ram Gang had.

• Lin Fan calmed the frightened villagers and promised to keep them safe from the gang.

Lin Fan returned to Small Mountain Village to check on Lin Ruoruo, then activated a 2,000-fold cultivation effect and focused on cultivating near home. He planned to avoid ordinary hunting and seek Ferocious Beasts instead, while remaining alert to danger from the gang.

• Lin Fan left the hunting party and hurried back to Small Mountain Village, while the villagers later started home under the night sky.
• Lin Fan reunited with Lin Ruoruo and Mao Mao, then spent 200 taels of silver to activate a 2,000-fold Cultivation Acceleration for twenty-four hours.
• Lin Fan decided against activating the 7,000-fold effect, reasoning that it could make his strength difficult to control and that the gang was unlikely to attack his home that night.
• Lin Fan concluded that ordinary beasts and nearby medicinal herbs were no longer worth hunting, so he would seek Ferocious Beasts instead.
• Lin Fan spent the following days cultivating the Azure Cloud Method near his thatched hut, occasionally helping villagers slaughter trapped wild boars.

Lin Fan reached the Late Muscle Refinement Realm and planned to hunt Skin Tempering Realm Ferocious Beasts once he advanced further and retrieved his spear. After learning of Lin Fan’s strength, Steward Fang feared he would join the White Ram Gang and outrank him, so he schemed to provoke a fight that would let the gang kill Lin Fan.

• Lin Fan’s cultivation surged after three days, bringing him to the Late Muscle Refinement Realm.
• Lin Fan planned to reach the Bone Tempering Realm, retrieve his grade 25 spear, and hunt Ferocious Beasts in the nearby mountains.

• Steward Fang decided Lin Fan was likely without outside backing and feared that joining the White Ram Gang would put him above Steward Fang.
• Steward Fang planned to make Lin Fan kill gang members so the gang’s experts would have grounds to strike him down.

• Lin Fan reached the Bone Tempering Realm and found that his sixty-pound spear felt too light for his increased strength.
• Lin Fan captured two wild boars and planned to sell them with the hunting team’s goods on their next trip to town.
• Lin Fan and Uncle Wang brought their prey and medicinal herbs to the Su Family Shop, where Su Qingwei presented Lin Fan with his Forging Grade 25 spear.
• Lin Fan wielded the ninety-pound spear with ease, and Su Qingwei recognized that he had reached the Bone Tempering Realm.
• Lin Fan sold the wild boars, medicinal herbs, and other goods to the Su Family Shop.

After selling their goods in town, Lin Fan returned to Small Mountain Village and prepared to hunt demon beasts in the nearby mountains. Steward Fang suspected Lin Fan possessed a great opportunity and decided to report him to the White Ram Gang leader.

• Lin Fan took 100 taels from the sale and left the remaining silver for Uncle Wang and the hunting party, then returned to the village with them.
• Steward Fang heard that Lin Fan had acquired a high-quality spear and suspected he had advanced to the Bone Tempering Realm, so he planned to alert the gang leader.
