Chapter summary

Key events: Ai Baiwu assumes his cousin’s arrival with Boss Wei has nothing to do with the young man he insulted. He learns that Jun Wangchen has just led the East District to victory in a contest among Jinling City’s four districts and become the underworld’s supreme leader. When Ai Baiwu realizes the celebrated Jun is the same person he called a cleaner, he is overcome with fear.
Jun asks the resort’s owner—the man in red—to address a manager’s abuse of authority, including unfairly punishing employees and threatening to fire them. The owner promises to fire the offender and offers to gather the managers. Jun stops him, identifies Ai Baiwu as the manager in question, and Ai Baiwu’s panic and silence expose his guilt.

Wei Suo treats Jun with deep respect and backs his demand for accountability.

• Hidden causes: The victims’ varied activities—including not eating lunch—suggest that the poisoning’s source is more mysterious than ordinary food contamination.

Key plot points and events

• Several students in the school infirmary are critically ill. Jun Wangchen identifies the cause as Soul-Devouring Gu, which releases poison that weakens a victim’s vital essence and immune defenses.
• He warns that the students are already in the late stage and may reach an irreversible terminal stage within half an hour. Ordinary hospital tests would not detect the Gu, and transferring them could cost them their lives.
• Bai Ziyi trusts Jun and accepts responsibility for proceeding. At his direction, she uses her grandfather’s Three-Part, Two-Entry Acupuncture Method to slow the poison.

• With poisoned students still in danger, Jun devises a treatment: he uses the Soul-Seizing Art to draw out a student’s soul power, forcing the Gu to emerge, then has Bai Ziyi pour alcohol on it. The exposed Gu ignites and dies, and Jun returns the student’s soul power.
• Jun and Bai work together to treat the remaining students, with Bai using acupuncture to slow the poison while Jun repeats the extraction-and-restoration process.
• Principal Gao arrives with Rudolf, a celebrated Western-medicine doctor. Rudolf condemns acupuncture, pressures the principal to stop the treatment, and threatens legal consequences. The principal and staff move to intervene.
• Before they can, the first treated student wakes up and sits up, apparently recovered.

Character developments and interactions

• Jun Wangchen shows quick reasoning and composure: he identifies the Gu’s unnatural behavior, develops a risky but effective remedy, and prioritizes the students over investigating the suspected Gu Master.
• Bai Ziyi proves an efficient, decisive partner, following Jun’s instructions and helping treat the students.
• Rudolf reveals personal resentment toward Bai. She previously rejected his offer to join his hospital and refused to give him access to her grandfather’s acupuncture method; his public attack on traditional medicine is partly motivated by that grudge.

• Jun Wangchen explains that he removed a Soul-Devouring Gu from the student. Rudolf dismisses the claim as a fabrication, but Jun uses his Soul-Seizing Art on another victim. Bai Ziyi burns the extracted parasite with alcohol, and the second student quickly recovers too.
• Humiliated, Rudolf claims the students only had mild poisoning and accuses Jun and Bai of exaggerating the danger. Jun challenges him to treat the remaining students himself.
• Rudolf and his nurses try a range of Western medical treatments for ten minutes, but cannot identify or cure the poison. Jun points out the contradiction, and Principal Gao realizes the danger was real.

Character developments and interactions

Jun Wangchen leaves the infirmary after helping students poisoned by a deliberately planted Soul-Devouring Gu. He suspects its owner is a Gu Master with an injured soul hiding at Jinling University, and expects the enemy may come after him. Confident in his ability to fight or escape, he returns to his dorm.
There, his three roommates tease him about his recent arrest and joke about doing “charity” for sex workers. Jun joins their banter, then asks about their milk-tea business. Their drink, made with Jade Leaf Dew, has earned more than 500,000 in two days, so they plan to open another branch. Jun uses Finger Divination to choose a promising storefront. At his friends’ suggestion, he creates a WeChat account as Foodie Bro and makes Zhang Zhengxiao and Wang Nuli administrators; after he promotes it on Exalted Emperor TV, more than 300,000 fans follow within a minute. His roommates begin preparing cheeky posts to build the account before advertising the shop. Meanwhile, Ke JiusI is engrossed in a flirtatious video chat with Sister Yun.
Jun then checks the Strongest Chat Group in History, where the immortals trade jokes and complaints. The Earth God asks for advice because the Heavenly Court’s social gatherings have left him babysitting a crowd of unruly divine children, who are wrecking his manor and pulling his beard. After seeing a photo of the chaos, Jun gets a mischievous idea, but the chapter ends before he reveals his plan.
