Chapter Summaries

Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Dugu Bo discovered Chrysanthemum Douluo at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, where the rival forces negotiated over its Immortal Herbs. Chen Xin joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Ning Rongrong remained outside the Poison Barrier as the parties agreed on a tentative division of the herbs.

• Ning Rongrong persuaded Sword Douluo Chen Xin to take her to Sunset Forest, where they arrived as Chrysanthemum Douluo confronted Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo.
• Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong suspected their sect had a spy, dismissed the possibility that Ning Tian was responsible, and wondered whether Han Tao was the mole.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo attacked Dugu Bo with his Ninth Soul Skill, but Dugu Bo froze him with his Eighth Soul Skill and escaped beneath the Poison Barrier.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and Gu Rong found the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and argued over who could claim its Immortal Herbs.
• Chen Xin entered the Poison Barrier to support Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, while a sect Soul Douluo was summoned to take Ning Rongrong back.
• Ning Fengzhi negotiated with Chrysanthemum Douluo, agreeing to give Spirit Hall three herbs for its Golden Generation and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in exchange for two other herbs, including the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Ning Rongrong used several Immortal Herbs to seal the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well behind a Poison Barrier, then began claiming and eating herbs while the Titled Douluo outside feared she had been trapped. She left the Lovesick Heartbreak Red unassigned, avoiding the thought of the person she might love.

• Ning Rongrong picked the Lovesick Heartbreak Red after a drop of her blood transformed it, then gathered the Aromatic Silk Beauty and Snow Swan Kiss.
• Ning Rongrong used Snow Swan Kiss to amplify the surrounding poison and seal off the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Poison Douluo fled the barrier, and they suspected Dugu Bo had caused the eruption.
• Sword Douluo realized Ning Rongrong might be inside the barrier, while Ning Fengzhi stopped him from charging back in.
• Ning Rongrong ate several Immortal Herbs and set aside others as gifts for Ning Tian, her father, and the two grandfathers.
• Ning Rongrong looked at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red but did not name the person she had left out of her gift plans.

Ning Rongrong consumed over a dozen immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, reaching Rank 40 and transforming her Martial Soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi calmed himself and concluded that Ning Rongrong was safe, though the chapter left him poisoned and still separated from her.

• Ning Rongrong relied on instinct and her herb knowledge to consume more than a dozen immortal herbs, then stored the excess medicinal properties she vomited into a Porcelain Vial.
• Ning Rongrong reached Rank 40 soul power, gained another layer on her transformed Martial Soul, and opened all Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo found no trace of Ning Rongrong near the Poison Barrier and suspected a traitor in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Fengzhi, poisoned and grieving, used Mind Calming Tea and Ning Rongrong's silent Soul Tool to steady himself and reconsider what had happened.
• Ning Fengzhi reasoned that the map and Yue Guan's distraction had enabled Ning Rongrong to reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well safely.

Ning Fengzhi learned that Ning Rongrong was alive and later welcomed her back from Sunset Forest, where her Martial Soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after she ate many Immortal Herbs. Yang Wudi examined the herbs she vomited up and became absorbed in documenting the unprecedented medicinal mixture.

• Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo accused Han Tao of betraying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but Ning Fengzhi revealed that his Soul Tool had received a response from Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Fengzhi kept Han Tao and Ning Tian in the Little Black Room for two months to preserve Bone Douluo's authority, then planned to obtain a 10,000 Year Gravity Soul Ring for Xiao Yuan.
• Ning Rongrong returned from Sunset Forest with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo and showed Ning Fengzhi that her Martial Soul had become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ning Rongrong told Ning Fengzhi she had eaten many Immortal Herbs, so he summoned Yang Wudi to examine her condition.
• Yang Wudi recognized the Immortal Herbs in Ning Rongrong's vomit and became engrossed in studying and recording their mixture, while Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong left him to his work.

Han Tao studied what determined Martial Soul Origin’s capacity and recovery, finding that martial soul quality and Soul Power cultivation speed increased them. He then considered whether vibration could aid cultivation and set out to investigate it.

• Han Tao compared possible influences on Martial Soul Origin and concluded that martial soul quality was positively correlated with its upper limit, while Soul Power Level showed no effect in his available data.
• Han Tao found that Origin recovered in proportion to its total capacity and that its recovery speed rose with Soul Power cultivation speed.
• Han Tao identified increasing his cultivation speed as his next goal and considered how the Eight Extraordinary Meridians might help.
• Han Tao wondered whether vibration, like Soul Power Suppression, could assist cultivation, and walked to the Sect Leader’s Residence to verify the idea.

Han Tao recruited Zhao Wuji to test how vibration affected the body, using Zhao Wuji’s Sixth Soul Skill, Vajra Roar. The tests strengthened Han Tao’s organs and stabilized the connections between his bones, and he recorded a new theory about the relationship between the organs and Soul Power.

• Han Tao asked Ning Fengzhi to recruit Zhao Wuji so he could test his hypothesis that vibration had properties similar to Gravity Pressure.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed, arranged to cancel Zhao Wuji’s Spirit Hall arrest warrant, and brought him from Shrek Academy to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Han Tao had Zhao Wuji use Vajra Roar at full and half Soul Power, measuring how the sound waves’ strength changed with distance.
• Han Tao stood forty-seven meters away as Zhao Wuji released Vajra Roar and used Firefly Light to record its effects on his body.
• Han Tao found that the vibration strengthened his organs and stabilized the connections between his bones, then theorized that stronger organs might improve Soul Power in the Twelve Principal Meridians.
• Han Tao ended the tests, recorded his findings, and went to the Sect Leader’s Residence.

Han Tao gave Ning Fengzhi the results of his vibration experiments, prompting Ning Fengzhi to seek Ye Lingling’s help with treatment for Han Tao and Ning Rongrong. Ye Lingling agreed to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where she met Ning Rongrong.

• Han Tao presented Ning Fengzhi with a report summarizing twenty-seven vibration feedback tests and their findings.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Manager Ning to invite Ye Junlan, but she refused, so he asked Han Tao to invite Ye Lingling instead.
• Han Tao found Ye Lingling reading at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and asked her to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; she agreed.
• Ning Fengzhi welcomed Ye Lingling and explained that Han Tao and Ning Rongrong’s cultivation plans could leave them prone to injury.
• Ning Rongrong barged into the hall, introduced herself to Ye Lingling, and filled Ye Lingling’s teacup with Ning Fengzhi’s tea.

Ning Fengzhi organized a cultivation program combining gravity, sonic oscillation, medicinal supplements, healing, and boosts, helping Han Tao and Ning Rongrong make rapid progress. Han Tao discovered that sonic oscillation improved his Blue Silver Grass’s Martial Soul quality, though the nature of the change remained unknown, while Ye Lingling resolved to pursue Martial Soul evolution.

• Ning Fengzhi arranged a cultivation program for the group and invited Ye Lingling, Yang Wudi, and Zhao Wuji to train alongside them.
• Han Tao advanced to Soul Power level 25 as Ning Rongrong completed every training goal and broke through to level 44.
• Ning Rongrong’s progress prompted Ye Lingling to consider evolving her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul further.
• Han Tao tested sonic oscillation on his Blue Silver Grass while Ye Lingling healed it and Ning Rongrong supplied boosts.
• After two hours of testing, Han Tao found that his Martial Soul quality and Growth Base had increased, though the Blue Silver Grass showed no visible change.

Ning Fengzhi’s Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma transformed his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and his research led Han Tao to a method for opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Ning Fengzhi explained that Han Tao could achieve Frequency Resonance by training his control over Microscopic Force through the Distraction Control Method.

• Ning Fengzhi’s Martial Soul transformed into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after he refined the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma.
• Ning Fengzhi sent Han Tao a manuscript describing Frequency Resonance and its potential to clear meridian impurities.
• Han Tao tried to match his soul power’s frequency to Zhao Wuji’s Shockwave but could not figure out how to adjust it.
• Ning Rongrong accompanied Han Tao to ask Ning Fengzhi how to change his Soul Power Frequency.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Distraction Control Method trained control over Microscopic Force and urged Han Tao to resume practicing it.

Han Tao broke through to the sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method by sensing distant Blue Silver Grass, then began exploring microscopic control of soul power under Ning Fengzhi’s guidance. He discovered a possible shortcut for opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians through frequency resonance.

• Han Tao resonated with Blue Silver Grass and broke through to the sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method, tempering his perception.
• Han Tao connected with nearby Blue Silver Grass and sensed its condition and surroundings through his Mental Power.
• Ning Rongrong questioned Ning Fengzhi about whether he had taught Han Tao a secret trick after she failed to reach the sixth layer herself.
• Ning Fengzhi explained how Han Tao could begin practicing the seventh layer by sensing and changing the frequency of his soul power.
• Han Tao studied how soul power changed as it flowed through his meridians and recorded his observations in his notebook.
• Han Tao realized that controlling his soul power at a specific meditation stage might let him use frequency resonance to open the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Han Tao used Frequency Resonance with Zhao Wuji's Vajra Roar to open his meridians, then recovered and cultivated until he reached rank 30. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he searched for a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass to absorb as his next Soul Ring.

• Han Tao matched his meditation methods to the frequency of Zhao Wuji's Vajra Roar, opening his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and damaging his meridians in the process.
• Ye Lingling treated Han Tao while his Firefly Light restored his capillary meridians, and he recovered fully over a month as his Soul Power rose to rank 26.
• Over the following seven months, Han Tao reached rank 30, and he traveled with Xiao Yuan to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek a Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring.
• Han Tao used the sixth layer of the Distraction Control Method to perceive Blue Silver Grass across the forest and guided Xiao Yuan to a thousand-year specimen hidden beneath a stone by a clear pool.

Han Tao hunted a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass in the Star Dou Great Forest, absorbed its Soul Ring, and gained the perception skill Blue Silver Eye while greatly increasing his Blue Silver Origin limit. Back at the Sect, Ning Tian confronted him over being imprisoned in the Little Black Room for four months because of Han Tao.

• Han Tao rejected a fifteen-hundred-year Blue Silver Grass as too old to absorb and found one just over a thousand years old.
• Han Tao used a Recurve Bow to kill the Blue Silver Grass and absorbed its purple Soul Ring, gaining Blue Silver Eye.
• Han Tao confirmed that the Soul Ring had nearly doubled his Blue Silver Origin upper limit and returned to the Sect with Xiao Yuan.
• Ning Tian told Han Tao that he had spent four months in the Little Black Room because of him.

Ning Tian and Yang Wudi explained that Ning Rongrong’s jealousy and her possession of Lovesick Heartbreak Red might account for Han Tao’s imprisonment and her ability to absorb many Immortal Herbs. The vial containing the flower’s foul residue left Han Tao disgusted, and Ning Tian refused to take it away.

• Ning Tian told Han Tao that Ning Rongrong had likely locked him up because she was jealous he had gone to see Ye Lingling.
• Yang Wudi explained that Lovesick Heartbreak Red recognized its master through devotion or heartbreak and protected Ning Rongrong from conflicting Immortal Herb effects.
• Yang Wudi recounted how Ning Rongrong distributed several Immortal Herbs after returning to the Sect, and how he exchanged his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum with Ning Tian.
• Ning Tian showed Han Tao a vial of the fused medicinal residue, which carried the scent of Lovesick Heartbreak Red and the bitterness of heartbreak.
• Han Tao recoiled from the vial and returned it to Ning Tian, but she refused to take it away.

Yang Wudi revealed that Ning Rongrong had left Han Tao a test: he had to earn the Lovesick Heartbreak Red’s recognition to benefit from it or the Immortal Herbs mixed with it. After Han Tao failed to awaken the flower, he learned Ning Rongrong was at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and began considering how to cross its Poison Barrier so he could reach her.

• Yang Wudi explained that Lovesick Heartbreak Red had reconciled the Immortal Herbs’ medicinal properties, but its benefits depended on earning its recognition and it could not be gifted.
• Han Tao pricked his finger and let his blood fall on the flower, but it remained white, showing that he had failed the test.
• Half a month later, Ning Tian faced Ning Fengzhi’s Sect assessment, while Han Tao asked where Ning Rongrong was.
• Ning Fengzhi told Han Tao that Ning Rongrong had gone to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and said he would have to cross the Poison Barrier to reach her.
• Yang Wudi told Han Tao that Lovesick Heartbreak Red or Aromatic Silk Beauty could protect someone from the Poison Barrier, leaving Han Tao to consider strengthening Blue Silver Grass’s poison resistance.

Han Tao prepared to steal the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone by strengthening his physique with Whale Rubber and gathering supplies for the dangerous trip to Holy Soul Village. He left alone at night, determined to reach the Stone Chamber before Tang Hao could react.

• Han Tao decided to pursue the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and asked Ning Tian for Whale Rubber, which she gave him in several portions.
• Han Tao asked Yang Wudi to make an Adjuvant Medicine that would help him absorb Whale Rubber’s physique-enhancing effects, and Yang Wudi completed the preparation after two days.
• Han Tao trained with Ye Lingling’s healing support and spent two months absorbing the medicinal effects of eight-thousand-year Whale Rubber, raising his Physique Attribute to 50 points.
• Han Tao gathered detoxifying and restorative supplies, took his Recurve Bow, and marked his planned route to the Stone Chamber in Holy Soul Village.
• Han Tao left alone under cover of night, intending to take the Soul Bone before Tang Hao or Fortune could react.

Han Tao infiltrated the waterfall chamber and stole the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone while avoiding detection by Tang Hao. He fled north with the soul bone and Ah Yin’s true body, seeking a safe place away from the village and the sect.

• Han Tao climbed the waterfall without using soul power and spent hours searching the stone chamber with a refined iron pickaxe.
• Han Tao used his Blue Silver Eye to locate the buried soul bone, dug it out, and confirmed its identity without opening the lead box.
• Han Tao ignored the letter’s invitation to linger, gathered the lead box, and noticed Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Grass beside the chamber.
• Han Tao scattered costly materials to obscure traces of his presence, uprooted Ah Yin, and packed her into his bundle.
• Han Tao slid down the waterfall and fled north toward uninhabited land instead of returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or Holy Soul Village.

Han Tao fled to the Icebound Forest and fused with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, transforming his soul power and greatly strengthening his body and Blue Silver Origin. He concluded that he would not need to choose Blue Silver Grass for his next soul ring.

• Han Tao escaped more than a thousand li over three days and hid at the edge of the Icebound Forest.
• Han Tao fused with the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and saw his soul power gain blue-gold characteristics and improved quality.
• Han Tao examined the soul power’s structure and suspected that it had inherited Blue Silver Grass’s Martial Soul Essence of adaptation.
• Han Tao finished the fusion, which remained incomplete because his rank 32 body could not absorb all the soul bone’s energy.
• Han Tao found that his Physique Attribute had risen to 84 and his Blue Silver Origin had increased sixteenfold, while his Soul Power Level stayed at rank 32.
• Han Tao decided that he did not need to choose Blue Silver Grass for his next soul ring.

Han Tao realized that his Soul Ring and Soul Bone origins only supplied extra energy for Martial Soul Evolution, then hid from Xue Qinghe, Pufferfish Douluo, and Xue Feng in the snowy wasteland. After uncovering clues that Xue Feng was a Spirit Hall spy with a perception method, Han Tao devised a desperate plan, but Xue Feng found him.

• Han Tao understood that Soul Ring and Soul Bone origins created separate reserves and could speed Martial Soul Evolution without directly changing his Blue Silver Grass.
• A mental fluctuation revealed a Titled Douluo nearby, so Han Tao buried himself in snow and used a Concealment Pill to hide his Soul Power.
• Han Tao overheard Xue Qinghe reject a Frost Howl Lion and discuss a suitable sixth Soul Ring with Pufferfish Douluo and Xue Feng.
• Han Tao suspected Xue Feng had infiltrated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for Spirit Hall and might have a perception Secret Method that exposed him.
• Han Tao swallowed his Mind Calming Tea, composed himself, and decided that only placing himself in death ground could create a chance to survive.
• Xue Feng announced that he had found Han Tao.

Han Tao tried to survive by turning his stolen Blue Silver Emperor and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone into bargaining chips with Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue agreed to conceal his Soul Bone from Tang Hao, and Han Tao sought to secure her protection by joining her faction.

• Han Tao encountered Xue Feng and Qian Renxue in the snow and revealed that he had taken the Blue Silver Emperor's true body.
• Qian Renxue had Spirit Hall test the Blue Silver Emperor, then told Han Tao that the gift was not enough to spare him.
• Han Tao spoke privately with Qian Renxue and revealed that he had stolen Tang Hao's hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
• Qian Renxue agreed not to tell Tang Hao about the Soul Bone and asked Han Tao to keep Xue Feng's identity from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Han Tao offered to join Qian Renxue's faction and requested Spirit Hall's Meditation Method as part of their bargain.

Han Tao received Chrysanthemum Douluo’s Great Circulation meditation method from Qian Renxue and persuaded her and Xue Feng not to kill him by cultivating Spirit Hall’s technique openly. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he began mastering the method while wondering what Ning Rongrong’s Immortal Herbs meant and how Spirit Hall’s plans threatened the sect.

• Qian Renxue gave Han Tao the Great Circulation meditation method after learning he had opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
• Qian Renxue told Xue Feng to spare Han Tao, and Han Tao began cultivating Spirit Hall’s method so they would have leverage over one another.
• Xue Feng accepted Han Tao’s decision and treated him as a friend rather than a threat.
• Han Tao realized Xue Feng’s knowledge could expose Spirit Hall’s plans to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and bring the sect under attack.
• Han Tao returned safely to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and quickly learned the Great Circulation method’s meridian and breathing techniques.
