After reaching an official road, he followed a Martial Academy-bound caravan toward Ningjin Prefecture and was allowed to travel behind it.

• Zhao Er followed a supply convoy to the Martial Academy city and entered after presenting his token, which led the gate attendant to mistake him for a prefecture-recommended student.

• Wu Xing greeted Zhao Er, sent Jing Wei away, and told Qingmei to take Zhao Er to wash before they met Wu Xing's teacher.

Zhao Er met Wu Xing’s teacher, the Academy Head of the Criminal Law Lineage, who examined his cultivation and asked him to demonstrate his poison skills.

• The Academy Head explained that Zhao Er needed to reinforce the needle with qi-blood and force, and Zhao Er stabbed his palm with the strengthened needle before the chapter revealed the poison’s effect.

He then traveled to the Southern Mountain Mine, where commander Xiang Zhou assigned him to the First Squad as a guard on standby.

• The Dian Family Matriarch recognized Zhao Er's cultivation and explained that the Dian Family had dwindled after its warriors fought the variant beasts in the Core Territory of the Clear Radiance Mountains.
• The matriarch told Zhao Er he could rely on the Dian Family's backing and cultivate freely at the Southern Mountain Mine, then challenged him to slay the Golden-Winged Flood Tiger someday.
• Zhao Er vowed to kill the tiger and agreed to return for the Nine-Turn Golden Armor Art's final portion after completing the sixth layer.

He began cultivating the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art in his quarters, where fine-gold energy surged toward him from the earth and air.

• Commander Xiang Zhou assigned Zhao Er to Squad One under Captain Jiang Zhi and explained his stipend and mission obligations.
• A rival mine captain learned Zhao Er had taken his younger brother’s place and planned to sound him out by arranging an Off-Campus Mission at the mine.

He bought replenishing pills from He Jing and asked about Metal-Attribute Poison, leaving with He Jing offering to sell poison extracted from a variant beast.

• Zhao Er cultivated through the night at the mine and gained increased experience in the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art, while realizing he needed pills to sustain his training.

Zhao Er bought Gold-Eater Toxin from He Jing and discovered that absorbing it strengthened his lungs. After cultivating with the toxin for three days, Zhao Er used its fine-gold energy to fire a razor-sharp breath through an ore wall, revealing the level trait of his lv.4 Nine-Turn Golden Body Art.

• He Jing showed Zhao Er a jar of Metal-Attribute Toxin, and Zhao Er tested it by touching and inhaling the powder without suffering lasting harm.
• Zhao Er realized the toxin strengthened his lungs when he actively cultivated with it, then bought the jar from He Jing for four thousand five hundred taels and learned it was called Gold-Eater Toxin.
• After Zhao Er left, He Jing tried to test the toxin himself and screamed in agony.
• Zhao Er took three Qi-Blood Pills daily and spent three days absorbing all the Gold-Eater Toxin, then suspended the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art during cultivation to preserve its effects.
• Zhao Er combined the toxin in his lungs with fine-gold energy and shot a sharp dark golden streak through an ore wall, confirming his lv.4 Nine-Turn Golden Body Art's Fine-gold energy level trait.
