• Lu Xuan realized his Language Proficiency reward let him understand Soul Beasts and regretted never trying to listen to them.

Lu Xuan helped the Nine Heart Begonia produce a green fruit for Ye Lingling, then raced from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to seek Auntie Ye’s advice. On the way, a Bloodthirsty Mad Bull attacked him, and he tried to take control of it with the Soul-Shifting Great Method.

• Lu Xuan asked the Nine Heart Begonia to sacrifice itself as Ye Lingling’s Soul Ring, but sensed its fear and reluctance to die.
• The Nine Heart Begonia produced a green fruit at the cost of much of its vital essence, and Ye Lingling used her healing Soul Power to help it.
• Lu Xuan gave Ye Lingling the fruit, told her and Dugu Yan to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and hurried toward Heaven Dou City to consult Auntie Ye.
• A Bloodthirsty Mad Bull chased Lu Xuan through the Sunset Forest, so he blinded it with a Divine Finger Flick and leaped onto its back.
• Lu Xuan gripped the Bloodthirsty Mad Bull’s horns and used the Soul-Shifting Great Method to try to control its mind.

• Lu Xuan subdued the Bloodthirsty Mad Bull with the Soul-Shifting Great Method and rode it onward.

A family journal revealed that the fruit could rapidly raise cultivation, but Lu Xuan was left deciding whether to eat it or try to grow a new plant.

• Lu Xuan and the Bloodthirsty Mad Bull killed the seven-man Soul Master squad, and Lu Xuan collected two Storage Soul Tools and some Gold Soul Coins.

• Ye Qingxian found an ancestor's journal describing how eating a Begonia Sacred Fruit had helped a Soul Sage break through from level seventy-two to level seventy-seven.
• Lu Xuan wondered whether the fruit could grow into a new Nine Heart Begonia, and Ye Qingxian left the choice of what to do with it to him.

Lu Xuan decided to plant the Nine Heart Begonia Sacred Fruit, then searched a Rock-Dwelling Burrowing Mole den and found a haul of Soul Bones and Soul Tools. After returning to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he assessed the bones and considered trading the lower-quality ones for a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Lu Xuan absorbed the Azure Jade Whirlwind Brain Core Bone and gained powerful spiritual abilities, including a space that could hold living creatures and a skill for traveling to marked locations. After his soul power surpassed level forty, he explained the skills to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, while the limits of his spatial escape remained unknown.

• Lu Xuan identified the brain-shaped object as an External Soul Bone with spiritual and spatial attributes, then told Ye Lingling that his research into the Azure Jade Bird had paid off.

• Lu Xuan's soul power broke through level forty, and the bone also strengthened his body enough to withstand an older Soul Ring.
• Lu Xuan emerged from seclusion and explained the two skills to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, noting that he had yet to test the maximum distance of [Azure Jade Spatial Escape].

• The Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo chose the spot where the Divine Black Jade Bamboo had once grown and settled there.
• Lu Xuan said he wanted the bamboo as his fourth soul ring, and it offered to cooperate if he let it leave behind a seed.

Lu Xuan helped the Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo absorb herbs so it could grow stronger before becoming his soul ring, while he trained Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan. He then prepared Dugu Yan to absorb a stronger third soul ring and began feeding the Jade Phosphorus Toad until it reached five thousand years, hoping it would leave behind an external soul bone.

• The Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo sensed three nearby herbs, absorbed them, and entered secluded cultivation as its cultivation age began increasing rapidly.

• The Clear-Verdant Spirit-Horned Deer cried and begged Lu Xuan not to kill it, while he asked whether it could preserve its soul and be reborn another way.
• The deer followed the scent of a Spirit-Gathering Cloud-Milk Flower and begged Lu Xuan to let it eat the flower before it died.

Lu Xuan agreed to let the Clear-Verdant Spirit-Horned Deer eat the Spirit-Gathering Cloud-Milk Flower in exchange for its voluntary sacrifice to Ye Lingling. The deer gave Ye Lingling its five thousand years of cultivation and life essence, and Dugu Yan wondered whether it might leave her a soul bone.

Lu Xuan kept the Azure Jade Bird Inner Core after Zhao Yan refused it, then learned that Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo had grown to thirty-nine thousand years. The chapter ended with Lu Xuan unable to find a suitable Immortal Herb to raise the bamboo’s cultivation further before it sacrificed itself.

• Zhao Yan refused the Azure Jade Bird Inner Core, explaining that he wanted a hundred-thousand-year fire-attributed soul ring, and urged Lu Xuan to refine the core himself when he was strong enough.
• Lu Xuan considered the risks of refining or dividing the Inner Core and decided to wait for his master’s return; he also learned that Xue Haicang’s men had destroyed Moonlight Pavilion and that Tang Yuehua was missing.
• After three days in Heaven Dou City, Lu Xuan and his companions returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo said it had reached thirty-nine thousand years of cultivation.
• Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo told Lu Xuan that it could not pass fifty thousand years within a decade without divine black jade bamboo, and that no suitable Immortal Herbs remained nearby.
• Lu Xuan regretted that he could not raise Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo’s cultivation further before its sacrifice, but recognized that its thirty-nine-thousand-year soul ring would still be powerful.

Lu Xuan agreed to Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo’s plan to take root where the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Shoot had grown, and it began a sacrifice after consuming a Golden Sunflower to improve its chance of creating a right-eye external soul bone. As Lu Xuan received its Soul Power, Dugu Bo and his companions returned to Heaven Dou City with five people instead of three.

• Lu Xuan accepted Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo’s request to grow where the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Shoot had been and asked it to preserve its mental and control Soul Skills while attempting to form a right-eye external soul bone.
• Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo said the right-eye soul bone would be difficult to create, but identified the Golden Sunflower as a way to strengthen its mental power.
• Lu Xuan gave Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo the Golden Sunflower, which it absorbed before starting its sacrifice.

After explaining his gains to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, he planted the bamboo’s essence seed beside the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Shoot to grow them in symbiosis.

• Lu Xuan tested [Peach-Bamboo Illusory Thought], which could trap targets in illusions and disrupt their actions and Soul Skills.
• Lu Xuan examined the [Illusory Peach-Bamboo Right-Eye Soul Bone] and its [Peach-Bamboo God Imprisonment] skill, which could seize targets’ wills within the limits of his mental power.
• The Peach-Rhyme Immortal Bamboo’s sacrifice raised Lu Xuan to rank forty-seven and greatly enhanced his mental power and physical strength.
• Lu Xuan told Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling about his gains, and they resumed cultivating after learning he was safe.
