Xia Kong helped Xiao Yi Xian leave the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and Qingshan Town, reassuring her about Li Fei before they headed into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian traveled into the mountain forest, where her exhaustion forced them to stop and rest. After spirit fruit revived her and stirred a faint craving linked to her woeful poison body, Xia Kong prepared lunch, and the two continued their journey together.

• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian walked into the mountains without attracting trouble, though Xiao Yi Xian grew increasingly tired.
• Xia Kong suggested a rest, and Xiao Yi Xian sat by a rock while regretting that she had refused his offer to carry her.

• Xia Kong cooked lunch with ingredients from his farm warehouse, and Xiao Yi Xian praised the tempting aroma.
• Xia Kong joked that he would send Xiao Yi Xian on her way, then clarified they were only continuing their journey, and she ate lunch nearby.

• Xiao Yi Xian ate Xia Kong’s rare ingredients, felt her body and meridians grow stronger, and became moved by his kindness.

• Xia Kong warned Xiao Yi Xian that the meal’s scent could attract more magical beasts and told her they had to leave immediately.
• Xiao Yi Xian accepted Xia Kong’s offered hand so he could protect her as they escaped the area.

Xia Kong protected Xiao Yi Xian as they traveled through the Magical Beast Mountain Range, then discovered that the farm space converted magic cores into sacred water that could accelerate crops. After using his supply to ripen crops for Xiao Yi Xian and himself, he returned to the forest with a plan to strengthen them both.

• Xia Kong detected and killed magical beasts along the trail, then stopped at night when he could not bring Xiao Yi Xian into the farm space because she did not fully trust him.

• At dawn, Xia Kong entered the farm space and discovered that the two rank-two magic cores he had collected had been converted into twenty units of sacred water.
• Xia Kong tested a drop of sacred water and found that it instantly provided one day of crop growth, then used the remaining nineteen drops to ripen nineteen level-one plants.
• Xia Kong planned to use the upcoming harvest to strengthen Xiao Yi Xian's foundation and grow rank-three crops for his own advance toward the Da Dou Shi realm.

Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian reached the hidden cave abode, where Xia Kong gave her a Storage Ring and cleared the entrance of a Rock Snake. They opened the chamber door and found the treasure site before them.

Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian explored a treasure-filled cave, where Xia Kong recovered several valuable items and offered Xiao Yi Xian the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in exchange for a condition. Xiao Yi Xian mistook his teasing manner for a threat and edged toward the exit, unsure what he intended.

• Xiao Yi Xian discovered the cave’s gold and medicinal garden, while Xia Kong searched the skeleton and found keys and an ancient scroll.
• Xiao Yi Xian accepted the herbs and gave Xia Kong the rest of the cave’s treasures under their agreed division.
• Xia Kong opened the stone boxes and claimed Mad Lion's Roar, Purple Cloud Wings, and the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.
• Xia Kong offered Xiao Yi Xian the Poison Scripture in exchange for one condition, and she grew angry and suspicious of his intentions.
• Xiao Yi Xian began backing toward the cave’s exit, wondering whether Xia Kong had only pretended to be kind.

Xiao Yi Xian learned from the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture that she had the woeful poison body and feared the suffering and destruction it would bring. Xia Kong comforted her and confirmed that he had a way to resolve her condition.

• Xia Kong asked Xiao Yi Xian to promise she would never take her own life, then gave her the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.
• Xiao Yi Xian read about the woeful poison body and realized that her constitution would eventually cause unbearable pain and endanger everyone around her.
• Xia Kong wiped away Xiao Yi Xian's tears and held her as she struggled with despair.
• Xiao Yi Xian asked how Xia Kong knew about her constitution, and he attributed his knowledge to a special source of information.
• Xiao Yi Xian asked whether Xia Kong could resolve her woeful poison body, and he solemnly nodded.

• Xia Kong told Xiao Yi Xian about the Poison Pill Method and its rare ingredients, then described his plan to strengthen her body, Dou Qi, and soul until she could control her poison body.

• Xia Kong gently eased Xiao Yi Xian out of his embrace, and she understood his awkward attempt at restraint without saying anything.

Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian left the cave abode with Little Blue and settled in a secluded valley. They agreed to build a home together, while the blue eagle began cultivating toward a breakthrough.

• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian buried the cave abode's owner's remains, gathered its useful belongings, and left the cave.
• Xiao Yi Xian summoned Little Blue, and the blue eagle carried her and Xia Kong out of the ravine.
• Little Blue landed in a secluded valley where Xiao Yi Xian hoped to cultivate, and Xia Kong fed the eagle level-three rice.
• Xiao Yi Xian proposed building a house with Xia Kong, and he gladly agreed to make a home there together.
• After eating the rice, Little Blue returned to its rocky cave to cultivate as Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian began building their home.

Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian built a cottage in the valley while he reconsidered his plans around the Farm Space’s sacred water and encouraged her to resume cultivating. The chapter left Xiao Yi Xian flustered after an intimate moment, while Xia Kong calmed himself and went to prepare their meal.

• Little Blue swallowed the Level-Three Rice Xia Kong fed her, sensed a chance to advance, and returned to her cave to cultivate in seclusion.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian built a cottage, and Xia Kong practiced Blossom Sword Cluster as he worked.
• Xia Kong revised his plans to master Purple Cloud Wings, return to Wutan City, and have Ya Fei buy magic cores to produce sacred water and accelerate cultivation.
• Xiao Yi Xian told Xia Kong she had become a One-Star Dou Zhe before age ten but had stopped cultivating because she feared her woeful poison body might harm others.
• Xia Kong reassured Xiao Yi Xian that he would protect her, but she noticed his arousal, rushed into the cottage, and left him to calm down before preparing dinner.

Xia Kong overcame the Purple Cloud Wings’ remnant soul and painful meridian-opening process, then practiced flying with Xiao Yi Xian and Little Blue. After Little Blue advanced to Tier 2, Xia Kong rewarded her and considered how to help her grow further, while Xiao Yi Xian misread his intentions and blushed.

• Xia Kong destroyed the Purple Cloud Eagle’s remnant soul and opened the two meridians needed to cultivate the Purple Cloud Wings.
• Xia Kong unfurled his new purple wings and struggled to control them while Xiao Yi Xian watched.
• Little Blue emerged from her advancement as a Tier 2 magical beast, and Xia Kong told Xiao Yi Xian he could provide resources to help her progress.
• Xia Kong tested Little Blue’s intelligence and protective instincts, then repeatedly jumped from her back to improve his control of the Purple Cloud Wings.
• Xia Kong rewarded Little Blue with cherry tomatoes from his farm, and Xiao Yi Xian blushed as she wondered whether he was doing it for her sake.

Xiao Yi Xian misread Xia Kong's teasing as an invitation and went to his room, where he reassured her and shared a tender kiss instead of rushing into intimacy. They ended the night together after Xiao Yi Xian grew jealous as Xia Kong praised Ya Fei.

• Xiao Yi Xian hesitated outside Xia Kong's room, then decided to leave when he did not open the door.
• Xia Kong opened the door and invited Xiao Yi Xian inside, where she asked whether his earlier remarks had hinted that she should visit.
• Xiao Yi Xian realized she had misunderstood and tried to flee, but Xia Kong caught her and carried her to the bed.
• Xia Kong kissed Xiao Yi Xian gently, then said they should wait a couple of years before going further because intimacy could affect her cultivation.
• Xiao Yi Xian bit Xia Kong's arm in embarrassment, then grew jealous as he described Ya Fei and kissed him to stop his praise.

During a month in Mountain Valley, Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian both made rapid cultivation progress, and Xia Kong decided to reveal the Farm Space to her so she could help manage it. He brought her into the realm, leaving her about to witness its secret.

• Xiao Yi Xian grew jealous of Ya Fei but kept those feelings to herself and treasured her time with Xia Kong.
• Xia Kong reached Seven-Star Dou Shi and mastered Scorching Wood Palm and Green Leaf Wandering Steps, while Xiao Yi Xian advanced to Nine-Star Dou Zhe by consuming poison.
• After hunting magical beasts, Xia Kong exchanged their magic cores for enough sacred water to ripen another batch of crops, but grew tired of managing the Farm Space alone.
• Xia Kong asked Xiao Yi Xian to keep his dangerous secret, and she promised to protect it.
• Xia Kong brought Xiao Yi Xian into the Farm Space with a thought.

Xia Kong brought Xiao Yi Xian into his soul-bound farm space, revealed how its crops and shop worked, and showed her the limits of what he knew about it. After they harvested and replanted the fields, Xia Kong’s gold balance fell below his warning threshold, so he planted quick-growing level-one crops to rebuild his funds.

• Xia Kong revealed the farm space to Xiao Yi Xian and explained that living people could enter it if they trusted him completely and entrusted their lives to him.
• Xia Kong showed Xiao Yi Xian the ripe level-three crops, explained their effects and the Farm Shop, and warned her to stay away from the chaotic mist.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian harvested all thirty plots, but Xiao Yi Xian could not operate the shop panel herself.
• Xia Kong bought level-three seeds for Xiao Yi Xian to plant, then used sacred water to grow and harvest the crops immediately.
• Xia Kong’s gold balance dropped to nine hundred after he bought more seeds, so he planted level-one crops with Xiao Yi Xian to earn coins quickly.

Xia Kong decided to take Xiao Yi Xian to Wutan City, and they stopped in Qingshan Town so she could quietly check on Li Fei. After seeing Li Fei thriving at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Yi Xian left with Xia Kong, and they continued toward Wutan City.

• Xia Kong proposed that Xiao Yi Xian accompany him to Wutan City, and she agreed despite feeling uneasy about meeting Ya Fei.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian rode Little Blue to Qingshan Town, then used his Purple Cloud Wings to land outside the town without drawing attention.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian watched Li Fei treat mercenaries at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and saw that she had taken over Xiao Yi Xian's former work.
• Xiao Yi Xian silently wished Li Fei well, and the pair flew away as the mercenaries recognized her and wondered about her future with a Dou Wang expert.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian returned to Little Blue and continued their flight toward Wutan City.

Little Blue carried Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian back to Wutan City, where Xia Kong entered using a Mittel Family token. At the Mittel Auction House, Ya Fei learned Lei Le was about to interfere with an important consignment and went to confront the situation.

• Ya Fei worried that Lei Le Mittel was using his family influence and a powerful bodyguard to obstruct her auctions and pressure her to marry him.
• Little Blue flew Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian to Wutan City, where the city guards let them enter after Xia Kong showed a Mittel Family token.
• A city commander recorded the Blue Eagle's arrival and sent a subordinate to report it to the city lord's residence.
• Xiao Qin told Ya Fei that Lei Le planned to inspect the auction items, including a bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid consigned by an elderly alchemist.
• Ya Fei feared Lei Le would damage her relationship with the alchemist, so she left her room and headed to the auction hall.

Xiao Yan sought more Second-Tier Potatoes to combine with pills after discovering how powerfully they accelerated his cultivation. When Ya Fei revealed that a Direct-Line Young Master had seized his Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, she offered to arrange a private potato sale, but noticed Xiao Yan using the same unusual name for potatoes as Xia Kong and began to suspect a connection.

• Xiao Yan and Yao Lao decided to trade Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for unusual produce and study its medicinal properties for new pill formulas.
• Xiao Yan waited through the auction, but neither his consigned Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid nor the rumored Second-Tier Potatoes appeared.
• Ya Fei apologized and paid Xiao Yan forty thousand gold coins for his consigned Spirit Liquid, explaining that unexpected trouble had disrupted the auction.
• Ya Fei told Xiao Yan that a Direct-Line Young Master from the Imperial Capital had seized the Spirit Liquid and caused other lots to be withdrawn.
• Xiao Yan asked Ya Fei to sell him a Second-Tier Potato privately, and Ya Fei noticed that he had used the unusual colloquial name associated with Xia Kong.

Xiao Yan and Ya Fei settled a large private trade of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for tier-two spiritual plants, while both sidestepped questions about the plants’ unusual names. As the auction ended, Young Master Lei Le tried to force his way into their private room and struck Xiao Qin.

• Ya Fei agreed to sell Xiao Yan a tier-two potato for sixty thousand gold coins, then asked how he knew potatoes were called spuds.
• Xiao Yan blamed the names spud and white radish on a strange dream, and Ya Fei said she had heard them from the mysterious supplier.
• Xiao Yan offered forty bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid at thirty-five thousand gold coins each in exchange for Ya Fei’s spiritual plants.
• Ya Fei agreed to trade the bottles for ten tier-two Spicy Jades and ten potatoes, and they completed the exchange.
• Young Master Lei Le demanded entry to the private room despite Xiao Qin’s warning, then slapped her.

Lei Le attacked Xiao Qin outside Ya Fei’s VIP room, but Ya Fei intervened and struck him down. As the Da Dou Shi Guard moved against Ya Fei, Xiao Yan offered help, and Xiao Qin healed her injuries with a Tier 3 Blueberry; Yao Lao then discovered Ya Fei’s hidden trump card.

• Lei Le slapped Xiao Qin and prepared to attack her again, but Ya Fei rushed out and sent him flying with a powerful slap.
• Lei Le ordered the Da Dou Shi Guard to kill Ya Fei and Xiao Qin, and the guard approached Ya Fei after Lei Le promised him a chance to break through to Dou Ling.

• Xiao Yan offered to help Ya Fei in exchange for priority when purchasing her medicinal herbs, but Ya Fei declined his intervention.
• Xiao Qin ate a Tier 3 Blueberry from Ya Fei and healed her injuries, while Yao Lao searched the auction house and found Ya Fei’s concealed trump card.

Xia Kong returned to Wutan City on a powerful Blue Eagle just as Ya Fei prepared to use sleeping smoke against the people confronting her at the auction house. His arrival reassured Ya Fei and her aides, while Xiao Yan and Yao Lao learned how much Xia Kong had advanced.

• Ya Fei prepared to activate the sleeping-smoke mechanisms hidden throughout the auction house to stop the attackers.
• Xia Kong and Xiao Yi Xian arrived on a tier-two Blue Eagle, and Ya Fei's aides recognized him and relaxed.
• Xiao Yan admired Xia Kong's mount, while Yao Lao assessed Xia Kong's soul power and cultivation as far beyond Xiao Yan's.
• Xia Kong and Ya Fei exchanged looks, and Ya Fei regained her composure before greeting Xiao Yi Xian.
• Xiao Yi Xian set aside her curiosity about Ya Fei and watched the confrontation in the corridor.
