Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun wagered with Old Immortal Nanhua that he could not neutralize the Main Dantian aura, with the loser becoming the winner’s attendant alongside the agreed companions. After drinking Old Immortal Nanhua’s poison, Nie Yun contained it in his Storage World, but its power began destroying the space faster than he could repair it.

• Nie Yun offered Old Immortal Nanhua a wager: the loser would become the winner’s attendant, and he included Elder Liu Xia and Nie Tong in the stakes.
• Prince Duobo urged Old Immortal Nanhua to accept, and Old Immortal Nanhua agreed to the wager.
• Nie Yun and Old Immortal Nanhua exchanged poison bottles, and Nie Yun drank Old Immortal Nanhua’s emerald-green poison.
• Nie Yun sent the poison into his Storage World, where it began corroding space.
• Nie Yun used Extreme Poison Qi to unravel the poison and regenerated the collapsing space, but he feared the struggle would damage the Storage World’s origin.

Nie Yun contained the venom in his Storage World by using Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi to shield its origin, then returned to the competition to find that Old Immortal Nanhua was suffering from the poison Nie Yun had given him. Nie Yun offered to detoxify him if he conceded, leaving the contest's outcome in Old Immortal Nanhua's hands.

• Nie Yun wrapped the venom in Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi, protecting the Storage World's origin while his Extreme Poison Dantian slowly assimilated it.

• Nie Yun told Old Immortal Nanhua to concede if he wanted the antidote, warning that otherwise he would let him die.

Nie Yun defeated Old Immortal Nanhua in the poison contest, forcing Prince Duobo to concede the challenge and pay the wager. As Prince Duobo sought to spare Nanhua from becoming Nie Yun’s attendant, Nie Yun asked the Red River Gate to hand over the Red River Spirit Fruit, and Sect Master Yuan Ku ordered it brought out.

• Sect Master Yuan Ku asked Elder Liu Xia to let the attendant matter go, and Nie Yun instead requested the Red River Spirit Fruit.
• Sect Master Yuan Ku confirmed the wager still stood and ordered Elder Hong Yuan to bring the Red River Spirit Fruit.

“Elder Liu Xia” collected the Red River Spirit Fruits and Exquisite Bone Tempering Fluid, then forced Prince Duobo to pay a steep price to save Old Immortal Nanhua. After Nie Yun removed the poison, Nanhua questioned whether he was truly Elder Liu Xia’s disciple.

• Sect Master Yuan Ku gave “Elder Liu Xia” the two Red River Spirit Fruits and the promised Exquisite Bone Tempering Fluid.
• “Elder Liu Xia” refused to give Old Immortal Nanhua the antidote until Prince Duobo paid to cancel Nanhua’s wager to become his attendant.

• “Elder Liu Xia” gave the weapon to Yuan Jiu and ordered Nie Yun to remove the poison from Old Immortal Nanhua.
• Old Immortal Nanhua refrained from attacking and demanded to know who Nie Yun really was.

Prince Duobo suspected that Nie Yun and Nie Tong were ascenders and demanded that they be inspected, while Sect Master Yuan Ku allowed it. With exposure threatening them, Nie Yun’s “Elder Liu Xia” persona proposed a wager to seize control of the situation.

• After confirming that his poison had been dispelled, Old Immortal Nanhua whispered to Prince Duobo, who used a treasure to examine Nie Yun.
• Prince Duobo suspected that Nie Yun and Nie Tong were ascenders and asked Sect Master Yuan Ku to permit an inspection.
• “Elder Liu Xia” objected, but Sect Master Yuan Ku sided with Prince Duobo, while the other elders mocked him and his disciples.
• Realizing the inspection was unavoidable and could expose them, “Elder Liu Xia” demanded a wager of five hundred Divine Stones, a Peak Emperor Realm divine weapon, and two bottles of Exquisite Bone Tempering Fluid.
• Old Immortal Nanhua warned Prince Duobo not to accept the wager because “Elder Liu Xia” was cunning.

Prince Duobo received a Red River Spirit Fruit from Sect Master Yuan Ku after claiming an Imperial-level expert needed it, then left Red River Gate and ordered Old Immortal Nanhua to kill Elder Liu Xia and his two disciples. After Nanhua vowed to wait for them outside the sect, Elder Hong Yuan approached Liu Xia to inspect the disciples for signs that they were ascenders.

• The elders recalled Nie Yun’s poison and retreated in alarm.

After being trapped by Elder Hong Yuan and Sect Master Yuan Ku, Nie Yun claimed Prince Duobo had come to Red River Gate to kill him, not to obtain the Red River Spirit Fruit. He revealed his Devouring Power and falsely presented himself as the Puntian Great Emperor’s lost son, leaving the sect leaders afraid to interfere in the princes’ struggle.

• Elder Hong Yuan sealed Nie Yun inside a space, but Nie Yun demanded to be released and questioned Prince Duobo’s stated reason for seeking the Red River Spirit Fruit.
• Nie Yun persuaded Elder Hong Yuan and Sect Master Yuan Ku to separate themselves from the other elders so they could hear his explanation in private.

• Nie Yun claimed he was the Great Emperor’s only son and that Prince Duobo had come to kill him to protect his claim to the throne.
• Nie Yun warned that Red River Gate would face the Great Emperor’s wrath if he died there, and demanded that the leaders release him.

Nie Yun claimed that his poison resistance came from fish that had cured him when he was young, and Old Immortal Nanhua tested his claims.

Nie Yun tried to treat Fairy Biluo after Old Immortal Nanhua’s drug and her rebounding Fire Toxin left her delirious and unable to control herself. He discovered he could not neutralize the drug’s heightened desires, so he focused on drawing out her Fire Toxin and left the treatment underway.

• Fairy Biluo fell into Nie Yun’s arms, and he realized Old Immortal Nanhua’s poison had made her lose control.
• Nie Yun tried to neutralize the poison with Extreme Poison Qi and Devouring Power, but found it heightened normal bodily desires rather than acting as a poison he could remove.

• Nie Yun sent Fire God Qi into Fairy Biluo’s body to lure out the hidden Fire Toxin.

Nie Yun and Fairy Biluo succumbed to Old Immortal Nanhua’s poison, and their union healed their injuries and greatly increased their strength. After they agreed to leave what happened unspoken, Nie Yun offered to remove the Fire Toxin still hidden in Fairy Biluo’s body.
