Chapter Summaries

Nie Yun accepted Elder Yue’s valuable residence in Yunzhou City and decided to open a medical clinic there to gather Chaos Oceans. The chapter ended with Liu Zhu recommending an appointment fee for the clinic.

• Dong Xin brought Nie Yun to Elder Yue’s residence on Pu Tian Avenue, where Nie Yun saw the size and value of the house Elder Yue had given him.
• Nie Yun gave Dong Xin a jade token for Elder Yue to open only if an unforeseen crisis arose, warning that opening it early would bring serious trouble.
• After Dong Xin left, Nie Yun released Nie Tong, the Chaos King, and the others from his Storage World and told them they would live in the residence.
• Nie Yun announced that he would open a medical clinic and treat only nobles and dignitaries who could pay him in Chaos Oceans.
• Liu Zhu proposed setting high standards for the clinic and charging an appointment fee.

Nie Yun established a clinic with a ten-thousand-Divine-Stone appointment fee to attract wealthy patients and build his reputation. After Feng Miao visited, he asked Nie Yun to take him as his master.

• Liu Zhu proposed a nonrefundable appointment fee of ten thousand Divine Stones, and Nie Yun put him in charge of the clinic.
• Nie Yun fused the Chaos Ocean he had won at Jade Pavilion, expanding his Storage World and increasing his strength.
• The clinic opened, and its steep fee became Yunzhou City's hottest topic, but no patients came during the first three days.
• Feng Miao visited on the fourth day and recognized Nie Yun as the clinic's owner.
• Feng Miao asked Nie Yun to teach him medical arts and take him as his master.

Feng Miao stayed at Nie Yun’s clinic as an apprentice after Nie Yun refused to take him as a disciple, and his presence helped the clinic get established. When the clinic’s first patients arrived, Old Qin recognized Feng Miao there and learned he was working under Nie Yun.

• Nie Yun refused Feng Miao’s request to become his disciple but agreed to let him stay and learn at the clinic, and Feng Miao paid ten thousand Divine Stones as tuition.
• Feng Miao helped run the clinic, discouraged troublemakers, and assisted with completing its procedures.
• Three days after Feng Miao arrived, Old Qin came to the clinic with his grandson, who objected to paying the ten-thousand-Divine-Stone fee and preferred the Medical Sage Langyue.
• Old Qin paid the appointment fee and entered Nie Yun’s examination room, where he recognized Feng Miao and learned that he was an apprentice there.

Nie Yun diagnosed Old Qin’s long-standing stomach ailment after a brief pulse examination and wrote a prescription, insisting it would cure him. Old Qin questioned Nie Yun’s fees and asked to pay after confirming the medicine worked.

• Feng Miao told Nie Yun that Old Qin had suffered from bloating, vomiting, and abdominal pain for more than ten years despite treatment by many famous physicians.
• Nie Yun examined Old Qin’s pulse and correctly identified that the pain worsened at noon and midnight when he did not eat.
• Nie Yun wrote a prescription and said the medicine would briefly intensify Old Qin’s pain before curing the ailment permanently.
• Nie Yun demanded three Chaos Worlds for the prescription, prompting Old Qin’s young companion to protest the fee.
• Old Qin stopped the young man from attacking and offered to pay Nie Yun after taking the medicine and confirming he was cured.

Nie Yun prescribed Rootless Grass for Old Qin’s chronic abdominal bloating and demanded payment, alarming Old Qin and his grandson, who believed the herb was deadly poison. After hearing Nie Yun’s claim that it could be life-saving medicine when used properly, Old Qin began to wonder whether the physician truly knew what he was doing.

• Nie Yun agreed to let Old Qin pay after treatment but doubled the fee to six Chaos Worlds, and Old Qin took the prescription home.
• Old Qin’s grandson read the prescription, which called for one stalk of raw Rootless Grass at noon, and both men realized the herb was famously poisonous.
• Old Qin sent his grandson back to demand an explanation, but an attendant said Nie Yun would collect payment and insisted that Rootless Grass could cure the illness.
• Old Qin’s anger gave way to doubt as he considered Nie Yun’s confidence, his large medical hall, and Feng Miao’s willingness to become his apprentice.

Old Qin took the poisonous Rootless Grass prescribed by Nie Yun and expelled worms that had caused his chronic abdominal illness. After Physician Hao Qian confirmed that Old Qin was cured and unharmed, Old Qin resolved to visit the Medical Master with six Chaos Worlds.

• Old Qin ordered his grandson to buy Rootless Grass and arranged for Physician Hao Qian to stand by in case the poison harmed him.
• At noon, Old Qin chewed and swallowed the herb, then vomited a basin full of worms.
• Physician Hao Qian examined Old Qin and confirmed that the worms were dead and Old Qin's illness had been cured.
• Old Qin and Physician Hao Qian realized that the Rootless Grass had killed the worms without harming Old Qin, and they marveled at Nie Yun's medical skill.
• Old Qin ordered six Chaos Worlds prepared and set out to visit the Medical Master.

Nie Yun cured Old Qin with Rootless Grass by using it to kill the Cabbage Worms inside him, and the resulting procession of grateful patients made his medical hall famous across Yunzhou City. He also cured Elder Yue’s Heart Demon Gu, while Ye Tao endured Ye Xin’s pressure and an unnamed middle-aged man vowed to awaken the woman Yaoshuang in an ice coffin.

• Old Qin arranged a grand procession to thank Nie Yun after Rootless Grass killed the Cabbage Worms causing his illness.
• Nie Yun explained the parasites and his treatment to Feng Miao, and the Qin Estate’s arrival convinced Yunzhou City residents of his skill.
• More than fifty patients with difficult illnesses sought treatment at Nie Yun Medical Hall, and their public thanks drew increasing crowds.
• Nie Yun eradicated Elder Yue’s Heart Demon Gu and declined the position of Venerable Grand Elder; Ye Xin became the Ye Estate’s heir.
• Ye Tao endured Ye Xin’s restrictions on Nie Yun’s advice, while the old master grew weaker despite taking the Southern Heaven Medical Saint’s medicine.
• A middle-aged man looked at the woman Yaoshuang in an ice coffin and vowed to cure her and wake her.

A grieving Emperor-level father debated how to save his daughter Yaoshuang, whose body had been preserved in an ice coffin for hundreds of millions of years. After learning that a Yunzhou City clinic had cured illnesses beyond the reach of Master Hongye and Master Mogao, he saw a possible way to save her.

• Venerable Emperor Wu told Yaoshuang’s father that he could revive her for at most ten painful years, or help her reincarnate, but neither option would restore her easily.
• Yaoshuang’s father refused to choose between her suffering and reincarnation, hoping instead that a future Great Emperor of the medical path could cure her completely.
• Venerable Emperor Wu warned that the ice coffin could no longer protect Yaoshuang indefinitely and urged her father to decide before time made revival impossible.
• After Venerable Emperor Wu left, Yaoshuang’s father promised he would no longer stop her from being with Yao Xuan if she came back to life.
• A guard reported that a new Yunzhou City clinic had cured patients whom Master Hongye and Master Mogao could not help, and gave Yaoshuang’s father a list of those cases.

The Puntian Great Emperor learned that Nie Yun Medical Hall had cured several famously difficult illnesses and went to seek help for his daughter, Yaoshuang. He arrived in disguise and found an angry crowd accusing Nie Yun of killing a young man with a prescription.

• A guard showed the Puntian Great Emperor a list of patients whose ailments Nie Yun Medical Hall had cured, including Qin Bang, Han Liushi, and Yin Yang Venerable.
• The Puntian Great Emperor decided to visit Nie Yun Medical Hall and brought Yaoshuang's ice coffin with him.
• He disguised himself and went to Number Thirty-Two, Pu Tian Avenue, where he found a crowd accusing Nie Yun of killing a young man with medicine.
• The crowd threatened to tear down the medical hall when Nie Yun failed to appear.

Haotian Tower’s Heavenly Secrets Ranking investigators arrived at Nie Yun Medical Hall as a grieving family accused the hall of treating their son to death. A middle-aged man reconsidered leaving when Haotian Tower promised to investigate, suspecting there was more behind its unusual involvement.

• Haotian Tower investigators mocked Nie Yun Medical Hall and drew the crowd’s attention to their assessment for the Medical Arts Ranking.
• The dead man’s family pleaded with the investigators to expose Nie Yun as a quack and shut down the medical hall.
• A middle-aged man who had hoped Nie Yun could treat Yaoshuang grew disappointed and prepared to leave.
• Haotian Tower’s men promised to investigate the death, condemn the medical hall if the accusation proved true, and accepted the family’s prescription for examination.
• The middle-aged man stopped to leave after noticing that Haotian Tower’s intervention contradicted its usual neutrality, and he realized something.

Nie Yun confronted a staged accusation that his medical hall had killed a patient, and offered to revive the supposedly dead man in front of the crowd. The accusers tried to flee when their behavior drew suspicion, but Yuan Jiu blocked their way.

• The old man accused Nie Yun Medical Hall of killing his son and pointed to Serpentine Growth Grass in the prescription as evidence, while Haotian Tower said it would investigate and recommended closing the hall.
• Nie Yun appeared and challenged the claim that the patient was dead, then asked Feng Miao to bring his Golden Needles so he could revive him.
• The old man obstructed Nie Yun from treating his son, making the crowd suspect that the accusation was a setup.
• Nie Yun promised to close the medical hall and never practice medicine again if he failed to revive the man, but the old man refused and tried to leave with his group.
• Nie Yun stopped the accusers from leaving, and Yuan Jiu blocked their path with the aura of a Perfected Emperor Realm expert.

Nie Yun exposed a scheme to frame his medical hall by reviving a young man who had been made to appear dead with a Blood-Sealing Meridian-Locking Pill. He accused the plotters of working with Haotian Tower, whose representative challenged him over his warning.

• An old man demanded that Nie Yun revive his apparently dead son, and Nie Yun used Golden Needles to restore the young man's heartbeat and breathing.
• The young man woke and thanked Nie Yun, but Nie Yun asked who had supplied the Blood-Sealing Meridian-Locking Pill and arranged the attack.
• The old man and his companions denied knowing about the pill and tried to leave, but Yuan Jiu bound them.
• Nie Yun accused the Haotian Tower group of coordinating the false-death incident to ruin his reputation, and one of its members denied the charge.
• Nie Yun warned that anyone who harmed him would regret it, and a Haotian Tower representative accused him of threatening the Tower.

After confronting people who tried to frame him, Nie Yun sent them away for interrogation and postponed treating patients. In the rear courtyard, he detected a hidden figure nearby using the spatial power of the Storage World.

• Nie Yun challenged the Haotian Tower representative, then let him and his people leave when Yuan Jiu blocked their path.
• Nie Yun ordered Yuan Jiu to take the remaining conspirators away and kill them, but changed the order to interrogation after they confessed they had been paid to frame him.
• Nie Yun apologized to the waiting patients and postponed their treatments, while the incident made them more eager to seek his care.
• Nie Yun sensed he was being watched in the rear courtyard but could not find anyone with his Heavenly Eye or spiritual perception.
• Nie Yun used the Storage World's spatial power and detected a figure seven or eight meters away.

Nie Yun met a powerful middle-aged man who hired him to examine his daughter, Yaoshuang, whose vitality had been sealed to keep her alive. With the man’s token allowing him to see through the seal, Nie Yun prepared to investigate her condition.

• Nie Yun sensed the concealed middle-aged man and claimed his sensitivity to life aura had revealed his presence.
• The middle-aged man praised Nie Yun’s medical skills, paid him ten thousand Divine Stones, and asked him to examine a patient.
• The man transported Nie Yun into a separate space and showed him Yaoshuang lying in an ice coffin.
• The middle-aged man explained that Yaoshuang was not dead but had little vitality left, so he refused to break the seal protecting her.
• The man gave Nie Yun a token bearing his soul imprint, and Nie Yun used it to perceive Yaoshuang’s faint breath and heartbeat.
• Nie Yun asked permission to perform a Pulse Diagnosis on Yaoshuang.

Nie Yun used the Qi Gazing Method to examine Yaoshuang, but her balanced yin-yang and Five Elements revealed no cause for her unconscious, corpse-like condition. After the middle-aged man replenished his strength, Nie Yun asked what had happened to Yaoshuang before she was gravely injured.

• Nie Yun decided to use a secret method to investigate Yaoshuang and asked the middle-aged man to help if he could not endure it.
• Nie Yun projected the Shen Nong Hundred Herbs Scripture with his Qi Gazing Method, and the middle-aged man recognized him as a Descendant of Shennong.
• The middle-aged man replenished Nie Yun's exhausted strength with his power.
• Nie Yun examined Yaoshuang repeatedly but found no imbalance or visible illness.
• Nie Yun asked the middle-aged man to explain what had happened to Yaoshuang before she was gravely injured.

Yaoshuang's father told Nie Yun how his attempt to kill her ascender lover led to her catastrophic injuries. Yaoshuang survived only because the ascender burned his soul to sustain hers, and her father was left consumed by regret.

• Yaoshuang's father explained that she grew to believe native races and ascenders should share the Divine Realm and fell in love with an ascender.
• He imprisoned Yaoshuang and agreed to a subordinate's plan to kill her lover, then tricked her by pretending he would consider approving their relationship.
• When the ascender arrived, Yaoshuang's father attacked him, but the ascender's Great Emperor inheritance clashed with his power.
• Yaoshuang broke free and rushed into the battle, where the two Great Emperor-level forces struck her and began destroying her body and divine soul.
• The ascender burned his soul to nourish Yaoshuang's, preventing her immediate death, though her injuries left her in her current condition.

Nie Yun discovered that Yaoshuang’s body had healed, but her soul remained dormant because Yao Xuan had been protecting her fragile true spirit for hundreds of millions of years. The middle-aged man learned that Yao Xuan’s devotion was the reason Yaoshuang had not awakened, leaving her fate tied to the soul that guarded her.

• The middle-aged man recounted how Yaoshuang was gravely injured after he used her trust for his own schemes, and how the war ended with the divine clans signing a pact with the ascenders.
• Nie Yun examined Yaoshuang again and suspected that her soul, rather than her body, was keeping her from awakening.
• The middle-aged man told Nie Yun that Yaoshuang’s lover was Yao Xuan, who had survived, become an Emperor-level expert, and remained alone.
• Nie Yun explained that Yao Xuan had burned part of his soul to preserve Yaoshuang’s true spirit and continued protecting it so it would not scatter.
• The middle-aged man learned that Yao Xuan had guarded Yaoshuang’s soul for hundreds of millions of years, despite never being able to communicate with her.

Nie Yun explained that saving Miss Yaoshuang would require drawing out and strengthening her fragile true spirit with a True Spirit Lamp, though success was unlikely. After her father left to consult her guardian, Nie Yun gathered the rare herbs needed to make the lamp and entered his Storage World to begin refining it.

• Nie Yun told Miss Yaoshuang's father that a True Spirit Lamp could preserve her weak true spirit, but the procedure had only a thirty percent chance of success and required her guardian's consent.
• Miss Yaoshuang's father accepted that her guardian should decide whether to proceed and left with the ice coffin to consult him.
• Nie Yun used a talisman to return to Yan Huang Hall and asked the Stone Turtle for the eighty-one soul-nourishing herbs needed to refine a True Spirit Lamp.
• The Stone Turtle gathered three portions of every required herb and warned Nie Yun that his current strength might not be enough to refine the lamp safely.
• Nie Yun returned to Yunzhou City, went back to his room, and entered his Storage World to improve his chances of refining the True Spirit Lamp.

Nie Yun failed to refine the True Spirit Lamp because the Storage World could not withstand the medicine’s power, even after he expanded it with Chaos Worlds. He returned to his medical clinic and learned that Fairy Miaoyin had arrived with news about the Soaring Heaven Flute Score.

• Nie Yun tried to refine the True Spirit Lamp in the Storage World, but the fusion destroyed one batch of medicinal ingredients when he reached the seventh ingredient.
• Nie Yun fused dozens of Chaos Worlds into the Storage World, but concluded that it still could not support refining the lamp.
• Nie Yun decided to preserve the remaining ingredients and consider asking Yaoshuang's father to refine the lamp instead.
• Nie Yun left the Storage World and learned from Liu Zhu that Fairy Miaoyin had come to see him.
• Nie Yun was surprised that Fairy Miaoyin had arrived so soon after promising to investigate the Soaring Heaven Flute Score.

Nie Yun delayed Fairy Miaoyin’s search for the Soaring Heaven Flute Score until he handled his promise to treat a Great Emperor’s relative, then persuaded her to help track someone marked by him. They arrived at the Yunzhou City branch of Haotian Tower, where Fairy Miaoyin suspected Nie Yun was playing a trick on her.

• Fairy Miaoyin told Nie Yun she had found the hidden location of the Soaring Heaven Flute Score, but Nie Yun said he first had to treat Yaoshuang and could not predict how long that would take.
• Nie Yun offered to discuss his obligations with the Great Emperor if Fairy Miaoyin helped him follow someone and identify who wanted to deal with him.
• Fairy Miaoyin agreed to help after Nie Yun claimed the target was only at the Peak Emperor Realm, and she carried him into the air because he could not fly.
• Nie Yun guided Fairy Miaoyin to the Yunzhou City branch of Haotian Tower, where she angrily questioned whether he was playing her.
