Chapter Summaries

The Little Fairy blamed Bai Binger for destroying a Yin-Yang Fruit Tree and threatened her and Li Yichen unless he could save it. Li Yichen examined the damaged yin-yang node and discovered that Yin energy was overtaking the valley’s Yang energy.

• Li Yichen flirted with Bai Binger and promised he would find a way to keep her safe as they traveled.
• The Little Fairy brought Li Yichen and Bai Binger to the valley, where the uprooted tree lay withered.
• Li Yichen used his spiritual power to see that removing the tree had breached the yin-yang node, allowing Yin energy to erode Yang energy and threaten the valley with ice and snow.

• Li Yichen, Ouyang Hai, and Atamu rode out across the mine on their black horses, which ran silently over black mist.

• Li Yichen pressed his hands against the rock and unleashed spiritual energy, causing a thunderous rumble and shaking the cave.

Li Yichen used Little Fairy’s cold to freeze the stone wall, then shattered it with his white flame and explained the result as thermal expansion and contraction. As the wall collapsed, a flash of yellow light flew deeper into the tunnel.

• Li Yichen failed to push the stone wall open, passed through it, and found an underground cavern with a riverbed and a stone he suspected was Hetian jade.

• Lu Sheng and five other disciples reached the passage, where Qing He sensed strong yin energy, and Lu Sheng warned the group to stay close and be careful.

• Qin Ming received a message about the Spirit Stone Mound, emerged from seclusion, and announced that he would investigate with volunteers.

• Ouyang Hai demanded that Lu Sheng and his companions hand over their valuables, and Li Yichen persuaded him to accept the contents of their Space Rings instead of keeping them as laborers.
• Lu Sheng explained that one bottle contained ointment that could remove any scar within three days, and Ouyang Hai offered ten million for its formula.

• Li Yichen found six Void stones among the group’s belongings, and Lu Sheng offered them to him.
