Background / History

Family and Academy Life

Lu Piao comes from a wealthy noble family headed by his father, Lu Ning. Before the group’s money-making ventures, he has saved 2,000 Demon Spirit Coins and receives a monthly allowance of 500. Nevertheless, the 60,000-coin Wind and Snow-inscribed Bronze Bracers he admires remain far beyond his means 4.

At the Holy Orchid Institute, he joins Du Ze in standing beside Nie Li after Shen Xiu punishes Nie Li for challenging her contempt toward commoners. Rather than openly explain his solidarity, Lu Piao claims that sitting has made his back ache. Wei Nan, Zhang Ming, and Zhu Xiangjun subsequently join them 3.

The Sky Screen later shows him competing with Wei Nan and Zhang Ming through rock-paper-scissors for the chance to answer Shen Yue’s boasting at the academy examination. Lu Piao wins and records progressively higher strength scores before registering 367 points of soul force, establishing Bronze Three-Star cultivation at thirteen. Ye Sheng immediately arranges his admission to the Genius Class. Lu Piao makes a mocking face at Shen Yue on his way back, although Du Ze remarks that he could have progressed even further if he cultivated seriously 79 80.

After the examination, the broadcast shows Lu Piao running out of the institute with his basket and celebrating the start of the school break. Later, as a Genius Class student, he enthusiastically supports the proposed exploration of an ancient site because it offers an escape from sitting through lessons 81 125.

Horned Sheep Hunting

The Sky Screen shows Lu Piao helping Nie Li and Du Ze earn cultivation funds by hunting Horned Sheep in the Trial Grounds. Initially assigned to attract attention, he becomes the target of a charging sheep. He briefly traps it between two trees, but his crossbow shot hits its horn and sends it berserk; Nie Li saves him with an anesthetic-coated bolt 5.

Lu Piao continues serving as bait while the other two make the kills. The trio hunts through seven nights, selling horns, Demon Crystals, and pelts until they have enough money for Nie Li’s next plan. Their sleepless hunting leaves them struggling to stay awake in class 6.

Protection and Cultivation

After the first Sky Screen broadcast ends, Lu Piao accompanies Nie Li’s circle to the City Lord’s Mansion, where Ye Zong offers them protection. Nie Li uses unused Soul Crystals to examine their Soul Seas and selects the Chaos Sacred Spirit Art for Lu Piao 12 13.

Despite being the group’s laziest member, Lu Piao joins their cultivation effort because he intends to help Nie Li and does not want to hold his friends back. He also hopes that growing stronger will keep his father from beating him during visits home 13.

By the sixth day of the later cultivation period at the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Piao has reached Silver Rank and integrated a Chaos Demon Tiger. He spars with Du Ze, whose Nether Bear’s tough defenses leave him complaining that he cannot hurt his opponent 51.

Gulan City Expedition

Lu Piao joins the expedition to Gulan City. His first attempt at a cloud-mud disguise produces a face he considers too ugly to wear outside, so Nie Li reshapes it for him. The travelers also dye their hair black and change their clothing to conceal their identities 25.

During the battle against a silver five-star Spirit-Rank Azure-Armed Giant Ape, Lu Piao again acts as bait, drawing the beast toward Nie Li’s position in the trees. He then joins Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning’er, and Du Ze in attacking it with silver-rank inscription scrolls, helping finish the poisoned and wounded beast 27.

In the treasure chamber beneath Gulan City’s Drill Ground, Lu Piao celebrates by rolling in the gold coins. After the companions select individual treasures, they divide the remaining money and valuables equally. He later helps Du Ze lift the stone coffin’s lid, exposing a torn page from the Book of Time and Space Spirit and the Deep Sapphire necklace 28 30.

The group returns to Glory City aboard Nie Li’s newly subdued Golden Feather Eagle. Excited by the ride, Lu Piao asks when he will be able to raise a demonic beast of his own 31.

Alchemist Association and Red Moon Auction

In the fourth Sky Screen broadcast, Lu Piao and Du Ze tease Nie Li and Xiao Ning’er about their relationship. Their lighthearted outing becomes serious when Nie Li recognizes a Dark Guild leader near the Sacred Family’s Star Picking Restaurant. Lu Piao accompanies Nie Li, Du Ze, and Xiao Ning’er to the Alchemist Association, where Nie Li seeks support by announcing his intention to take the junior Alchemy Master examination 58.

In the current timeline, Lu Piao travels with Nie Li, Xiao Xue, Xiao Ning’er, and Ye Ziyun to the Red Moon Family’s auction aboard the Golden Feather Eagle, with Ye Xiu accompanying them 63.

Sacred Family Ambush and Home Visit

The sixth Sky Screen shows Lu Piao visiting Nie Li at the City Lord’s Mansion and joking that he has come to support his friend’s pursuit of Ye Ziyun. When Du Ze questions the wisdom of openly opposing the Sacred Family, Lu Piao argues that the grudge already exists and that the family will not leave Nie Li alone regardless 103.

During a return journey, Lu Piao guides the group through a cornfield shortcut he knew as a child. Black-robed attackers surround them, and Nie Li identifies Shen Ming and Li Yunhua among the enemies. Lu Piao merges with his demon spirit and joins Du Ze and Xiao Ning’er in fighting the ambush 106.

The broadcast subsequently shows Lu Ning confronting Lu Piao at home. Lu Piao boasts that he is the strongest member of his generation in the Lu family, but his father is concerned with his having secretly watched Xiao Xue bathe. Xiao Xue arrives, twists his ear, and forces him to admit what he did; Lu Ning leaves rather than help him escape her anger 107.

Previous-Life Fate and Commitment to Xiao Xue

Nie Li reveals that Lu Piao and Xiao Xue were childhood sweethearts who loved each other in his previous life. Lu Piao’s insecurity and timidity prevented him from responding properly to her feelings, and she married another family’s young master. When Glory City fell, Lu Piao protected her, and the two became husband and wife with Nie Li and Du Ze as witnesses. They ultimately sacrificed their lives defending the city 128.

Hearing this account in the current timeline leaves both Lu Piao and Xiao Xue pale. Lu Piao recognizes that Nie Li’s help has given him the strength and opportunity to avoid that outcome. Before Xiao Xue can finish urging him to act, he embraces her in front of their companions and firmly vows not to repeat their previous-life tragedy 128.

Ancient Barrier and Black Prison World

The sixth Sky Screen shows Lu Piao accompanying the exploration of Glory City’s preserved ancient buildings. He recalls playing there as a child and trying to break the protective barrier with an axe, only for it to rebound and cut off another boy’s topknot, earning him a beating from his father. After Nie Li identifies and opens the Origin Barrier, Lu Piao, Xiao Xue, and the other companions enter a strange space containing a ruined teleportation array that requires twenty-three Radiant Stones to activate 128.

During the subsequent broadcast, Lu Piao carries and saves Xiao Xue while she is unconscious. On waking, she initially suspects him of taking advantage of her, but their companions confirm his account, and she thanks him as her hero. The group then fights Red Ghosts using Nie Li’s Bloodburst Demon Bottles and gathers crimson blood crystals 134.

In the Silverwing Family’s territory, Lu Piao nearly greets Nie Li by his real name before noticing his warning signal. The companions cooperate with Nie Li’s assumed identity of Lei Duo. Lu Piao later reports that Sikong Yi has found the Radiant Stones, bringing their route of escape closer to completion 138 146.

The current-timeline group eventually returns from the Black Prison World through the Myriad Forms Space Array. Lu Piao teases Duan Jian about his earnest devotion to Nie Li, prompting Xiao Xue to pull him away by the ear for embarrassing their companion 157.

Defense of Glory City

The ninth Sky Screen depicts Lu Piao on Glory City’s defenses as the million-strong beast tide approaches. He prays nervously, earning a kick from Xiao Xue, while the group waits for Nie Li’s preparations to take effect 165.

After the beast tide is repelled, the broadcast shows him celebrating the city’s survival. Nie Li insists that everyone return to seclusion and cultivate diligently. Lu Piao initially looks troubled because his Chaos Sacred Spirit Art already permits rapid progress without strenuous cultivation, but Xiao Xue’s expression persuades him to agree 171.

Following the later Witch Ghost Family attack shown on the Sky Screen, Lu Piao celebrates his cultivation progress. Nie Li warns him not to rely entirely on the group’s soul Magic Array connection and emphasizes that they must reach the Legendary Realm to protect Glory City against stronger future enemies 216.

Heavenly Fortune Tribe and Black Spring

In the current timeline, Lu Piao accompanies the journey to the Heavenly Fortune Plateau aboard the Golden Feather Eagle. He remarks on the Heavenly Fortune Tribe’s poverty and proposes trying Yun Ling’s wood-flour porridge. Its taste proves difficult for him to endure, and Xiao Xue forces him to swallow rather than spit it out 196 197.

When Nie Li introduces the transformation of soul force into law power, Lu Piao complains that he cannot understand it. Nie Li motivates him by warning that he could fall increasingly far behind Xiao Xue, despite actually possessing greater innate talent. Lu Piao then enters the Black Spring to temper his body and comprehend the Law of Chaos, while Chen Linjian pursues the Law of Darkness 204 205.

Nether Realm Trials and Torch Dragon

The thirteenth Sky Screen shows Lu Piao battered after a dispute over a Soul Essence Fruit. Duan Jian defeats the opposing group, allowing Lu Piao to claim the fruit and boast about the outcome. Xiao Xue twists his ear, reminding him that his success depended on Duan Jian’s intervention 231.

During the Black Flame Tower broadcast, Lu Piao tries to lean against what turns out to be a chained Heavenly Kirin Beast and recoils in fright when it opens an eye. Through Nie Li’s explanation, he learns that cultivation extends beyond Spiritual Gods into Heavenly Mandate, Heavenly Star, Heavenly Transformation, Dragon Path, and Martial Ancestor realms 240.

When Torch Dragon attacks the current-timeline companions, Lu Piao stands beside Nie Li despite his trembling legs. He asks whether they should fight or flee, but refuses to abandon Nie Li or Xiao Xue. After the unseen enforcer kills Torch Dragon and the next Sky Screen raises questions about the Book of Time and Space Spirit’s location, Lu Piao reassures Nie Li that they can search for the book again 252.

Feathered God Sect and Heavenly Spirit Institute

Before the companions separate for their new sects, Xiao Xue warns Lu Piao against pursuing other women while she is away. The fifteenth Sky Screen then shows him arriving at the Feathered God Sect with Nie Li and Xiao Yu. Seeing unsuccessful applicants rejected during the Heavenly Spirit Institute’s spirit-root tests sends him into a panic. Guan Yu mocks him, prompting Nie Li to defend him and Xiao Yu to intervene against infighting 257 258.

The Sky Screen initially ends before revealing Lu Piao’s result, leaving his current-timeline counterpart anxious. Nie Li reassures him that even a poor spirit root would not prevent him from improving with suitable inheritances and guidance. When Lu Piao actually takes the test in the current timeline, he is revealed to possess a fifth-grade Heavenly Spirit Root and celebrates exuberantly 260 261.

The next broadcast confirms this result and shows his assignment to the West Court. Xiao Yu introduces the institute’s trading areas, Mission Hall, and Soul Stone economy. Lu Piao attempts to exchange his stored pills for Soul Stones but learns that ordinary resources from his home realm have little value there. His Heavenly Spirit Root nevertheless qualifies him for a monthly allowance of five Soul Stones 262 263.

In Venerable Chimu’s class, the broadcast shows Lu Piao learning about fate souls and attempting to condense a spirit flame. Memories of Xiao Xue distract him, and the attempt fails. After class, he and Nie Li encounter Long Yuyin’s hostility, then meet Gu Bei, with whom Lu Piao quickly develops a friendship 265 266.

Lu Piao accompanies Nie Li to the Gu family compound, where Nie Li treats Gu Lan. Gu Bei subsequently declares both visitors his brothers. Nie Li shares one hundred Soul Stones with Lu Piao, and the companions visit the Sacred Spirit Wonderland with Xiao Yu. Lu Piao later pairs with Gu Bei for Venerable Chimu’s sparring exercises 267 268 274.

In the current timeline, Nie Li brings Lu Piao, Xiao Yu, and Chen Linjian into the Book of Time and Space Spirit. Lu Piao is astonished by its collection of top-tier cultivation arts and altered passage of time. They begin cultivating there with the aim of reaching Heavenly Fate 277.

The seventeenth Sky Screen shows Lu Piao losing more than three thousand Soul Scales gathered in the Ghost Ruins to Hua Ling’s men. Later in the broadcast, he successfully reaches the Heavenly Mandate Realm 278 280.

Demon League

The eighteenth Sky Screen shows Lu Piao co-founding the Demon League with Nie Li and Gu Bei. The organization recruits and trains members through generous Soul Stone rewards, contributing to Nie Li’s larger plan to unite the Feathered God Sect and build a force capable of opposing the Sacred Emperor 293.

After the Thunder Divine Pool operation and Nie Li and Xiao Yu’s escape through Xiao Yu’s Space-Time ring, Lu Piao gathers with Gu Bei and Li Xingyun in Xiao Yu’s Separate Courtyard. A day has passed without the pair returning, leaving the three worried about their safety 309.

Later Life

By the ending, Xiao Xue is pregnant with Lu Piao’s child. Her already fiery temper has become fiercer, and Lu Piao remains both intimidated by her and deeply concerned for her safety, worrying that she might bump into something or injure herself 314.

Personality

Lu Piao is restless, playful, and quick to turn a serious conversation into a joke. When accused of daydreaming all day, he insists that he dreams for only half the day. He routinely teases Nie Li about Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning’er, treating their interactions as opportunities for gossip 4 9 16.

His laziness contrasts with his loyalty. He willingly considers giving his savings to help his friends become Demon Spirit Masters, stands beside Nie Li against Shen Xiu, and commits himself to becoming useful to the group 3 4 13.

His ambitions are modest compared with his potential: he says he would be satisfied with becoming a Silver Demon Spirit Master. Wealth and rewards motivate him much more visibly—he loudly celebrates hunting profits, delights in Gulan City’s treasure, and regains his energy during exhausting training when Nie Li promises a treat 6 13 28 34.

He alternates between boastfulness and insecurity. After a strong result, he readily calls himself a genius, but unfamiliar examinations can make him panic and imagine the worst. Nie Li explicitly judges him more talented than Xiao Xue, while noting that laziness, lustfulness, and a lack of confidence obstruct his progress 80 107 204 258 261.

His interest in romantic gossip extends to Xiao Yu and Long Yuyin, and his shared outlook with Gu Bei makes the two immediate kindred spirits. His wandering thoughts also have practical consequences: memories of secretly watching Xiao Xue bathe prevent him from achieving the mental clarity needed to condense a spirit flame 263 265 266.

Although he is easily frightened by danger or Xiao Xue’s anger, he can become resolute when those he loves are threatened. He publicly vows to protect his relationship with Xiao Xue after learning their previous-life fate, and stands beside Nie Li against Torch Dragon despite being visibly terrified 128 252.

By the ending, his concern for the pregnant Xiao Xue reveals a protective and attentive side beneath his usual comic behavior 314.

Abilities & Skills

Chaos Sacred Spirit Art

Nie Li chooses this art to match Lu Piao’s rare chaos attribute and crimson sun-shaped Soul Sea 13.

  • Chaos accumulation: Progress depends on accumulating chaos energy rather than extensive conventional cultivation 13.
  • Cultivation while sleeping: Lu Piao can advance even when he appears to be doing little more than sleeping 15.
  • Long-term potential: Nie Li explains that continued chaos accumulation will eventually make remaining at Silver rank impossible 13.
  • Sustained effortless advancement: The Sky Screen later reiterates that the art lets him improve rapidly without arduous cultivation, although Nie Li and Xiao Xue still push him to work seriously 171 216.

Battlefield Bait and Evasion

Lu Piao repeatedly draws pursuing beasts into positions where his companions can attack 5 6 27.

  • Leads a Horned Sheep between closely spaced trees, temporarily trapping it 5.
  • Serves as regular bait during the trio’s extended hunting operation 6.
  • Draws the Spirit-Rank Azure-Armed Giant Ape into wooded undergrowth and toward Nie Li’s ambush position 27.
  • His first Horned Sheep encounter also exposes his inexperience: a misplaced shot enrages the beast instead of disabling it 5.

Inscription Scroll Combat

Lu Piao uses a silver-rank inscription scroll alongside three companions during the battle against the Spirit-Rank Azure-Armed Giant Ape 27.

  • Their four attacks combine wind, lightning, fire, and snow damage against the already poisoned beast 27.
  • Using a silver-rank scroll does not establish that Lu Piao himself has reached Silver rank 15 27.

Physical Conditioning

Nie Li requires Lu Piao and the others to strengthen their bodies so they can withstand the soul force generated by advanced cultivation arts 20.

  • Participates in running exercises while carrying baskets of stones 34.
  • In a Sky Screen scene, undergoes medicinal bathing that requires circulating soul force to endure scalding water 35.
  • In the Sky Screen’s academy examination, produces strength scores of 265, 325, and 370 across three punches 79.
  • Tempers his body in the Black Spring as part of learning law power 205.
  • Pairs with Gu Bei during Venerable Chimu’s combat-training lesson in the Sky Screen 274.

Demon Spirit Integration

Lu Piao integrates a Chaos Demon Tiger after reaching Silver Rank in the current timeline. The spirit is Gold Rank with God-Tier growth potential, giving it substantial room for further development despite its initial rank 51.

  • Practices demon-spirit combat against Du Ze’s Nether Bear, whose defenses he struggles to penetrate 51.
  • The Sky Screen shows him merging with his demon spirit to fight the Sacred Family’s cornfield ambush 106.
  • Xiao Yu’s explanation of the Draconic Ruins Realm’s market reinforces that God-Tier growth potential makes otherwise ordinary demon spirits valuable there 263.

Law Power and Soul Magic Array

Nie Li guides Lu Piao to comprehend the Law of Chaos in the Black Spring, explaining that converting soul force into law power will greatly benefit his future cultivation 204 205.

The Sky Screen also establishes his connection to a soul Magic Array. Lu Piao is pleased that its benefits help prevent him from falling behind his companions, but Nie Li jokingly threatens to sever his connection if the cultivation gap becomes too large 216.

Heavenly Spirit Root and Higher-Realm Cultivation

Lu Piao possesses a fifth-grade Heavenly Spirit Root. Its discovery contradicts his fears of poor aptitude and places him among the Heavenly Spirit Institute’s unusually talented students 258 261 262.

  • Heavenly Spirit Root students are entitled to five Soul Stones per month in the institute 263.
  • His initial spirit-flame attempt fails because he cannot maintain pure, focused thoughts; this failure does not negate his spirit-root talent 265.
  • Cultivates in the time-altered space within the Book of Time and Space Spirit in the current timeline 277.
  • Reaches the Heavenly Mandate Realm in the Sky Screen, although no specific fate count is given 280.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Crossbows and hunting gear — Carries crossbows, Feathered Arrows, a basket, a bamboo hat, and Plate Armor during the initial Horned Sheep hunt 5.
  • Space Ring — Uses it to carry weapons, equipment, food, water, and expedition supplies 24 26.

  • Silver-rank inscription scroll — Uses one in the coordinated attack on the Spirit-Rank Azure-Armed Giant Ape 27.
  • High-Grade Soul-Gathering Pills — In the broadcast, receives ten pills from Nie Li; each costs 6,000 Demon Spirit Coins 21.
  • Soul-Tempering Pills — Eats them while traveling, preferring their taste to the flavorless Soul-Nourishing and Soul-Congealing Pills 26.
  • Soul-Recovery Pill — Takes one after the ape battle to replenish his exhausted soul force 27.
  • Gulan City treasure share — Receives an equal portion of the remaining money and valuables after individual selections 28.
  • Chaos Demon Tiger — Integrated Gold Rank demon spirit with God-Tier growth potential 51.
  • Gold Rank demon spirit from Lu Ning — In the Sky Screen, his father rewards his apparent diligence with a Gold Rank spirit. Lu Piao initially uses this gift as his reason to decline Nie Li’s offer of a superior-growth spirit 103.
  • Soul Essence Fruit — Claims one in the Sky Screen after Duan Jian defeats the competing group 231.
  • Soul Stones — Receives one hundred from Nie Li in the Sky Screen, substantially exceeding the institute’s five-stone monthly allowance for Heavenly Spirit Root students 263 268.
  • Soul Scales — Collects more than three thousand while hunting in the Ghost Ruins, but loses them to Hua Ling’s men in the Sky Screen 278.

Relationships

  • Nie Li — Close friend and cultivation mentor. Lu Piao supports him against Shen Xiu, receives the Chaos Sacred Spirit Art from him, and repeatedly serves as bait in his hunting and combat plans 3 13 27. Nie Li later provides a God-Tier demon spirit, law-power guidance, Soul Stones, and access to the Book of Time and Space Spirit’s inner cultivation space. Lu Piao remains loyal enough to stand beside him against Torch Dragon and is depicted as his fellow Demon League founder 51 204 252 268 277 293.
  • Du Ze — Close friend, classmate, and hunting partner. Du Ze often restrains Lu Piao’s impulsiveness, including covering his mouth after a loud celebration and pulling him away from Chen Linjian’s recruitment crowd 6 19. They also spar after integrating their demon spirits, with Lu Piao finding Du Ze’s Nether Bear difficult to damage. In Nie Li’s previous life, Du Ze witnesses Lu Piao and Xiao Xue’s marriage 51 128.
  • Lu Ning — Father and Lu family patriarch. Frustrated by his son’s laziness and limited ambition, but acknowledges his loyalty and anxiously watches his dangerous hunting encounter 4 5. The Sky Screen shows him rewarding Lu Piao’s cultivation with a Gold Rank demon spirit, then reprimanding him for spying on Xiao Xue 103 107.
  • Wei Nan, Zhang Ming, and Zhu Xiangjun — Fellow members of Nie Li’s circle; join him in supporting Nie Li and cultivating compatible arts 3 13.
  • Shen Xiu — Instructor whose lessons and punishments he resents. He celebrates the prospect of no longer attending her classes 8 11. His Bronze Three-Star examination result on the Sky Screen shocks her and undermines her confidence in dismissing Nie Li’s companions 80.
  • Shen Yue — Antagonistic classmate. Lu Piao mocks his humiliation and, in the Sky Screen broadcast, publicly challenges his treatment of Nie Li 17 34. He later deliberately takes the academy examination to puncture Shen Yue’s boasting and exceeds his Bronze One-Star result 79 80.
  • Xiao Xue — Childhood sweetheart and romantic partner, first shown worrying for his safety while watching the Horned Sheep chase on the Sky Screen 5 128. Her fiery temper frequently intimidates him, and she disciplines him for misconduct while also defending him against others 79 107. In Nie Li’s previous life, they marry during Glory City’s final defense and die protecting it; in the current timeline, he vows to prevent that tragedy. By the ending, she is pregnant with his child, and he is deeply concerned for her well-being 128 314.
  • Gu Bei — Close friend with a similarly playful and flirtatious outlook. They immediately recognize each other as kindred spirits; after Nie Li treats Gu Lan, Gu Bei explicitly declares Lu Piao and Nie Li his brothers. They pair up for sparring and later co-found the Demon League in the Sky Screen 266 267 274 293.
  • Xiao Yu — Companion and guide to the Feathered God Sect and Heavenly Spirit Institute. Lu Piao jokes about his personal life and encourages him to accept Nie Li’s Soul Stones. They also cultivate together inside the Book of Time and Space Spirit in the current timeline 258 263 268 277.
  • Duan Jian — Companion whom Lu Piao teases for his earnestness. In the Sky Screen, Duan Jian’s intervention allows Lu Piao to obtain a Soul Essence Fruit after a violent dispute 157 231.
  • Chen Linjian — Fellow expedition and cultivation companion. They participate in the Gulan City battle and later pursue different laws through the Black Spring; both also enter the Book of Time and Space Spirit’s cultivation space 27 205 277.
  • Guan Yu — Rival from the Miniature Exquisite World who mocks Lu Piao’s anxiety during the spirit-root testing broadcast. Nie Li objects to the insult, and Xiao Yu prevents the confrontation from escalating 258.
  • Hua Ling — Hostile figure associated with Xiao Yu’s rivalry at the Heavenly Spirit Institute. He initially dismisses Lu Piao’s talent, and his men later steal Lu Piao’s Ghost Ruins earnings in the Sky Screen 262 278.
  • Long Yuyin — Initially confronts Nie Li and Lu Piao with disdain in the Sky Screen. Her attitude toward Lu Piao improves after she begins accepting Nie Li’s combat guidance 265 280.
  • Li Xingyun — Ally of Nie Li’s circle. In the Sky Screen, he joins Lu Piao and Gu Bei in worrying over Nie Li and Xiao Yu’s disappearance after the Thunder Divine Pool operation 309.
