Chapter Summaries

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Luofan read about the Heaven Dou Empire’s widespread newspaper and examined three new Golden Entries from his system. He chose Immortal Body, gaining a safeguard he hoped would let him survive otherwise fatal risks, including exceeding Soul Ring limits and entering Dugu Bo’s poisoned Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Luofan and Porcupinefish Douluo left the Star Dou Great Forest and spent the night in a nearby town.
• Luofan bought a newspaper and saw how it shared government news, strange tales, Soul Master basics, and advertising information across the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Luofan opened his system and reviewed Absolute Invincibility, which promised combat strength one tier above any enemy at the cost of all his power.
• Luofan considered Immortal Body, which made him immune to death, and One Against Ten, which made a target pay ten times the price he paid.
• Luofan chose Immortal Body and considered using it to absorb an over-limit Soul Ring or withstand the poison around Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Ning Fengzhi regretted driving Luofan away and planned a trip to Heaven Dou City with Ning Rongrong, while Luofan returned with Porcupinefish Douluo and explained his growing Soul Rings to Xue Qinghe. The chapter left Xue Qinghe imagining Luofan eventually reaching the Titled Douluo level with nine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

• Ning Rongrong accused Ning Fengzhi of failing to find Luofan and ran off, while Ning Fengzhi admitted he had tried to push Luofan away by assigning him menial work.

• Luofan and Porcupinefish Douluo returned to the Crown Prince’s Residence, where Xue Qinghe praised the Overpowering Aura’s battlefield potential after hearing how it strengthened allies and weakened opponents.
• Luofan told Xue Qinghe that the Overpowering Aura lasted 180 seconds, its range would grow with his Soul Power Level, and his third Soul Ring should become a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring within two months.
• Xue Qinghe realized Luofan’s Soul Rings could keep growing toward Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, and Luofan said he would work harder to reach the Titled Douluo level.

Luofan studied Yue Guan’s handbook of rare plants, then used his Immortal Body to survive the poisonous miasma and enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After discovering the treasures within and curing most of his poisoning with a medicinal leaf, he approached an Immortal Herb to begin harvesting the well’s riches.

• Xue Qinghe obtained a copy of Yue Guan’s Immortal Herb Handbook for Luofan, who memorized its 108 entries.
• When Dugu Bo attended Prince Xue Xing’s birthday banquet, Luofan left Heaven Dou City and entered Sunset Forest’s poisonous miasma.
• Luofan endured the poison with his Immortal Body and reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Luofan ate a leaf from a detoxifying Spirit Plant, which cleared most of the poison from his body within half an hour.
• Luofan approached an Immortal Herb, intending to take advantage of the treasures rather than rush to the herbs Tang San had used.

Luofan consumed Mystic Bone Glazed Grass and discovered that his Soul Bone Skill could gain a rule-based effect, then harvested Spirit Plants at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He returned to the Crown Prince's Residence with a gift for Xue Qinghe, who demanded to know where he had been.

• Luofan ate Mystic Bone Glazed Grass, raising his Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull's age to 129,600 years and greatly increasing his mental power.
• Luofan gained a Soul Bone Skill that let his Primordial Spirit leave his body and seize control of another person, and realized Rule Addition could affect Soul Bone Skills.

• Luofan harvested valuable Spirit Plants at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then carried the Aromatic Silk Beauty back through the poisonous miasma to Heaven Dou City.
• Xue Qinghe confronted Luofan about disappearing during the night, and Luofan offered him a jade box containing a gift.

Luofan gave Xue Qinghe a Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass, which purified and strengthened his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and raised his Soul Power to rank 60. Luofan also found that the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass had changed his Martial Soul, and half a month later Ning Fengzhi arrived at the Crown Prince's Residence with Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong.

• Luofan gave Xue Qinghe the Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass and explained that he had stolen it from Dugu Bo’s herb garden after enduring the poisonous miasma.

• Half a month later, Ning Fengzhi arrived at the Crown Prince's Residence with Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi visited Xue Qinghe to secure advertising space in the Crown Prince's Newspaper, while Xue Qinghe worried that the sect leader might discover Luofan was staying at his residence. Ning Rongrong asked Xue Qinghe to help her find someone, and he suspected she meant Luofan.

• Xue Qinghe reflected on his rise to Soul Power Level 63 and Luofan's remarkable growth to level 34.

• Luofan left his courtyard to show Xue Qinghe his new Soul Ring configuration, but Snake Lance Douluo stopped him to discuss finding Soul Bones and Self-Created Soul Skills.
• Luofan suspected Snake Lance Douluo was deliberately keeping him from reaching the front hall.

Luofan used his Primordial Spirit to find out why Snake Lance Douluo was keeping him from Xue Qinghe and discovered Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin visiting her. Chen Xin sensed Luofan spying, and Xue Qinghe hinted to Ning Fengzhi that her powerful friend was staying nearby.

• Luofan realized Snake Lance Douluo was stalling him and tried to go see Xue Qinghe, but Snake Lance Douluo said she was receiving guests.
• Luofan returned to his courtyard and sent his Primordial Spirit to the front hall, where he saw Xue Qinghe with Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
• Luofan overheard Ning Rongrong ask Xue Qinghe to help find him and realized Xue Qinghe had kept him away to prevent him from meeting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Sword Douluo Chen Xin sensed Luofan's spiritual presence and shouted at the unseen spy, causing Luofan to retreat to his body.
• Xue Qinghe identified the presence as belonging to a powerful friend staying with her, and Ning Fengzhi asked her to introduce them.

Luofan met Ning Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members at the Crown Prince's Residence, where he made clear that he would not return to the sect. Ning Fengzhi then ordered Sword Douluo Chen Xin to take him back, and Luofan summoned his pagoda and Soul Rings to resist.

• Ning Fengzhi pressed Xue Qinghe to introduce the friend whose spiritual consciousness he had sensed, while Luofan decided to face the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members directly.
• Luofan slipped past Snake Lance Douluo and went to meet Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Rongrong happily rushed to greet him and recalled his stories.
• Ning Fengzhi reproached Xue Qinghe for hiding Luofan, but Luofan said he had asked Xue Qinghe to keep his whereabouts secret.
• Luofan told Ning Fengzhi he had left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and demanded that Ning Fengzhi respect his boundaries; he also refused Ning Rongrong's plea to return.
• Ning Fengzhi apologized and then ordered Sword Douluo Chen Xin to take Luofan back, so Luofan summoned his nine-story Two Forms Exquisite Pagoda and three black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Luofan revealed his Nine-Story Pagoda and three Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, prompting Ning Fengzhi to try to take him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by force. Ning Rongrong stopped her father, and the sect members left; afterward, Luofan told Xue Qinghe he had still had a way to handle the confrontation.

After failing to take Luofan by force, Ning Fengzhi planned to keep Ning Rongrong in Heaven Dou City so she could remain close to him.

• Luofan told Xue Qinghe that he had stood up to Ning Fengzhi to prove his loyalty and would not abandon him for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Bibi Dong praised Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, setting the goal of becoming Three Rings Soul Elders before age twelve, then promised Hu Liena the Saintess title if she succeeded.

Luofan met Yue Guan, who recognized the immortal herb auras in Luofan’s martial soul and questioned him about his herbs. After Luofan explained his discoveries and revealed that he had given Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass to Qian Renxue, Yue Guan left his mission from Bibi Dong unfinished, while Luofan offered to help him find a mature singular velvet sky chrysanthemum.

• Luofan confronted a cloaked intruder, and Yue Guan revealed himself as a level 95 Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall.
• Luofan showed Yue Guan his handwritten notes on immortal herbs, earning Yue Guan’s goodwill as a reader who had benefited from his work.

When she attacked the pursuing Snake Lance Douluo, his strength forced her back, and his and Porcupinefish Douluo’s combined assault sent her flying.

• Luofan told Yue Guan he had seen a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and promised to let him know when it matured.
• Luofan and Yue Guan discussed how to handle Bibi Dong’s orders as Bibi Dong waited outside the Crown Prince’s Residence for Yue Guan to bring Luofan out.

Back at the hotel, Yue Guan explained that Luofan’s changed Martial Soul markings suggested he had consumed two immortal herbs, while the Young Master carried the aura of another.

• Luofan’s Overpowering Aura doubled the destructive power of allies he regarded as friends and halved that of his enemies, allowing Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo to overpower Bibi Dong.

• Yue Guan concluded that Luofan had consumed infernal delicate apricot and octagonal mysterious ice grass, and said he had sensed Radiant Light-Concentrating Grass in the Young Master.
• Bibi Dong considered Yue Guan’s findings and began forming a conjecture.

Back at the Crown Prince’s Residence, Qian Renxue fumed over Bibi Dong’s attempted abduction, while Luofan told her the situation was not as bad as she thought.

• Bibi Dong ordered Yue Guan to remain by Xiao Xue, build a relationship with Luofan, and find out whether he had another aromatic silk beauty.
