• Wuqiong flew to the sea of clouds in a showy display, and He Pingsheng followed by using instantaneous teleportation, astonishing the crowd.

He Pingsheng left Azure Cloud Peak and returned to Redstone City, where he spent seven years cultivating and refining pills. A powerful visitor, Patriarch Ruokai, then asked him to refine middle-grade Mingwu Pills, and He Pingsheng agreed to do so with time to prepare.

• Patriarch Ruokai brought five sets of materials to He Pingsheng and requested one batch of middle-grade Mingwu Pills.
• He Pingsheng agreed to refine the pills but asked Patriarch Ruokai to give him some time.

He Pingsheng agreed to refine Mingwu Pills for True Person Ruokai, using precious treasures as collateral before secretly enhancing the ingredients and pills. He returned ahead of schedule with twelve middle-grade pills, leaving Ruokai to inspect the completed batch.

• He Pingsheng returned to the Alchemy Shop early and presented True Person Ruokai with twelve middle-grade Mingwu Pills.

He planned to ask Elder Red Moon about the pills’ unknown attribute.

• True Person Ruokai praised He Pingsheng’s middle-grade Mingwu Pills and tried to trade for his ten-thousand-year ice marrow, but He Pingsheng asked for metal or earth law origins instead.

• He Pingsheng learned that the Dao-Gathering Pills’ attribute was still unknown and decided to ask Elder Red Moon about them.

He Pingsheng learned from Red Moon that Dao-Gathering Pills and law origins circulated through private Nascent Soul cultivator circles, so he refined pills to trade and left Redstone City for Tianqiang Mountain to seek Mi Zangyuan’s help. If Mi Zangyuan could not connect him to those circles, He Pingsheng planned to rely on the much slower path of comprehending the Great Dao himself.

• He Pingsheng visited Red Moon at the trading company and learned that Nascent Soul cultivators traded Daoist laws privately; the bottle of fourth-grade Dao-Gathering Pills consigned that day contained wood-attribute pills and would not be auctioned.
• Red Moon advised He Pingsheng to refine his law origins into pills rather than trade entire origins, and he agreed that this would make exchanges easier.
• He Pingsheng spent a month refining two batches each of high-grade ice-, wood-, and fire-attribute Dao-Gathering Pills, making twenty-four pills of each type.
• He Pingsheng teleported out of Redstone City, boarded the Eight-Treasure Ship, and headed west toward Tianqiang Mountain to ask Mi Zangyuan for help reaching Nascent Soul trading circles.
• He Pingsheng considered relying on his own comprehension of the Great Dao if Mi Zangyuan could not help, though he knew that path could take decades or longer.

He Pingsheng visited Mi Zangyuan to seek guidance on finding metal and earth Daoist laws, and Mi Zangyuan promised to invite him to a nascent soul cultivators’ Trading Fair. Back at the Alchemy Shop, He Pingsheng began seclusion in the basement to comprehend the five-element laws while improving his cultivation.

Commandery Princess Weichuan returned his Soul-Nurturing Banner with compensation, and He Pingsheng invited her for spirit tea.

• He Pingsheng spent fifteen years comprehending earth Daoist law, consuming five supreme-grade Mingwu Pills and reaching minor mastery.
• He Pingsheng advanced from the second to the fourth layer of the Golden Core Stage and considered seeking a place rich in metal Daoist law to complete his five-element cultivation.

Weichuan explained that the tournament would be held at Tawenian Mountain, the neutral home of the powerful He Asks, He Thinks Sect.

• Commandery Princess Weichuan told He Pingsheng that the Ninth Prince had become Crown Prince and that the Thirteenth Prince had been sidelined.

• Weichuan showed He Pingsheng a map and explained that Tawenian Mountain stood in a neutral territory at the center of the nine nations.
• Weichuan described the He Asks, He Thinks Sect’s two peak Spirit Transformation twin brothers and explained that the nations’ Golden Core disciples gathered at Tawenian Mountain every hundred years to settle disputes.

After accepting, He Pingsheng left to visit a large artifact refining shop in Redstone City.

• Commandery Princess Weichuan explained the Nine-Nation Grand Tournament and told He Pingsheng that he had to place in the top ten of the Royal Family’s selection to qualify.
• He Pingsheng hesitated because the tournament required golden core Dao access, but Weichuan noted that the selection was more than nine years away and promised he could request one item from the Liang Kingdom if he qualified.
• Weichuan offered He Pingsheng a court-issued Commerce Association Operating License on the Ninth Prince’s terms, and He Pingsheng agreed to compete.
• Weichuan departed after promising to send more tournament information, and He Pingsheng escorted her party out.

• He Pingsheng returned to his Alchemy Shop and asked Cheng Daocai to travel to Dingxiang Commandery in the Qi Kingdom to seek news of his lost sect, master, senior sister, and senior brothers.

He Pingsheng learned that the Zhongnan Dao Discussion was actually a trading fair where he might find the metal-attribute Power of the Laws he needed. He left Redstone City with Mi Zangyuan to attend the gathering on Zhongnan Mountain.

• He Pingsheng spent four hours telling Cheng Daocai about the Great Void Sect and the Cultivation Alliance, then sent him off with a voice-recording Jade Slip for Yu Ning.
• After two months of meditation and cultivation, He Pingsheng received his Ten-Thousand Souls Banner from Master Lu with thirteen layers of restrictions, making it a low-grade Mystic Treasure.
• He Pingsheng found that the Treasure-Gathering Basin could not enhance the banner again, so he stored it in his Dantian to nurture it.
• Six months later, Mi Zangyuan visited He Pingsheng and told him about the Zhongnan Dao Discussion, a trading fair beginning in seven days.
• Mi Zangyuan offered to yield any metal-attribute Power of the Laws they found, and he and He Pingsheng left Redstone City by Flying Boat for Zhongnan Mountain.

He Pingsheng arrived at Zhongnan Immortal Sect with Mi Zangyuan for the Dao Discussion Gathering and encountered Patriarch Ruokai again. After Ruokai revealed He Pingsheng’s ice and fire origin laws to the assembled cultivators, He Pingsheng returned to his lodging and set up formations to prevent spying.

• After the banquet, He Pingsheng returned to his building and installed a Divine-Sense Sealing Formation and a Warning Formation.

He Pingsheng attended Bei Yezi’s Dao Discussion Gathering, where Bei Yezi presented a Sumeru Pearl containing a small world and invited offers. After examining it, He Pingsheng learned from Mi Zangyuan that its sky and sunlight were synchronized with the Cultivation World, unlike a truly self-contained world.

• He Pingsheng followed Mi Zangyuan to the gathering and used his Divine Sense to discover Patriarch Ruokai was at the fourth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm.
• Patriarch Ruokai sat beside He Pingsheng and asked about trading for his ten-thousand-year ice marrow, but He Pingsheng said he still needed metal attribute laws.
• Bei Yezi showed the gathering a Sumeru Pearl containing a world about a hundred zhang across, with no Spirit Veins.
• He Pingsheng and the other cultivators extended their Divine Senses into the pearl to inspect its small world.
• He Pingsheng asked Mi Zangyuan about the sun inside the pearl, and Mi Zangyuan explained that its light, laws, and time were synchronized with the Cultivation World.

He Pingsheng traded two high-grade Mingwu Pills to Bei Yezi for a fourth-grade Sumeru Pearl, then offered Icefield Divine Dew in search of a material to help him break through the Golden Core Stage bottleneck. The gathering mocked his request, with Patriarch Ruo Kai declaring that even a hundred drops would not be enough.

• He Pingsheng learned the Sumeru Pearl was roughly fourth grade and decided to acquire it for the Phoenix he expected to hatch.
• He Pingsheng exchanged two high-grade Mingwu Pills for Bei Yezi’s Sumeru Pearl, while Patriarch Ruo Kai realized the pills might have been made from materials he had supplied.
• He Pingsheng rejected Ruo Kai’s claim to the pills, insisting their previous transaction was complete.
• Bei Yezi told He Pingsheng it was his turn to offer an item, so He Pingsheng presented ten drops of Icefield Divine Dew for a material that could help him break through the Golden Core Stage bottleneck.
• The cultivators laughed at He Pingsheng’s offer, and Ruo Kai said even a hundred drops would not secure such a material.

He Pingsheng traded his Icefield Divine Dew for a fourth-grade Golden Light Talisman and learned that the Greed and Anger Fruit was the Cultivation World’s only known treasure for breaking through the Golden Core bottleneck. He left the trading session planning to enhance the talisman, while worrying about his own two bottlenecks.

• He Pingsheng rejected the old monsters’ offers until he accepted a Golden Light Talisman from a fellow cultivator in exchange for his Icefield Divine Dew.
• He Pingsheng asked Mi Zangyuan about treasures that could break through the Golden Core bottleneck, and Mi Zangyuan explained the rarity and distribution of the Greed and Anger Fruit.
• He Pingsheng worried that the Greed and Anger Fruit was the only treasure that could break his two bottlenecks, but Mi Zangyuan told him that breakthroughs could also come through insight, perseverance, and opportunity.
• Bei Yezi ended the day’s trading session and said the gathering would continue the next day.
• He Pingsheng returned to his building and put the Golden Light Talisman into the Treasure-Gathering Basin to enhance it.

He Pingsheng brought a powerful Golden Silence Finger Talisman to the second day of the Dao discussion gathering and fended off Patriarch Ruokai’s questions about his master. The gathering began with Immortal Maiden Tantai displaying a metal-attribute glazed Nascent Soul and seeking ice-attribute laws in exchange.

• He Pingsheng read that his Fourth Grade supreme-grade Golden Silence Finger Talisman could manifest a finger powerful enough to bury a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
• He Pingsheng met Mi Zangyuan and entered the gathering, where Patriarch Ruokai pressed him about his treasures and the high-grade Mingwu Pills.
• He Pingsheng claimed that his master, True Person Taixu, could kill several cultivators like Ruokai with one palm, and Ruokai backed off when He Pingsheng offered to arrange a meeting.
• Bei Yezi began the day’s exchanges with Immortal Maiden Tantai, whose cultivation He Pingsheng could not discern.
• Immortal Maiden Tantai revealed a metal-attribute glazed Nascent Soul and offered to trade it for an object containing ice-attribute laws or another item she valued.

He Pingsheng traded ten-thousand-year ice marrow for a Glazed Nascent Soul and used Mi Zangyuan’s Dao Refining Method to extract its metal-attribute law. With all five elements’ Daoist laws gathered, he prepared to cultivate the Five Elements Unity Force as the final trading session ended.

• He Pingsheng exchanged ten-thousand-year ice marrow with Immortal Maiden Tantai for a Glazed Nascent Soul, then Mi Zangyuan offered a fourth-grade defensive Formation Plate in his place.
• After the second day’s trading ended, He Pingsheng decided with Mi Zangyuan to skip the final session because he had obtained what he wanted.
• Mi Zangyuan gave He Pingsheng a book containing a Dao Refining Method for extracting Daoist law from a Nascent Soul.
• He Pingsheng enhanced the Glazed Nascent Soul in the Treasure-Gathering Basin, refined one of the two resulting Nascent Souls, and absorbed its metal-attribute law.
• He Pingsheng completed his collection of all five elements’ Daoist laws, prepared to cultivate the Five Elements Unity Force, and dismantled his formations as the final trading session neared its end.

He Pingsheng used the Great Freedom Pearls to obtain spacious but spiritless inner spaces, then spent five years in secluded cultivation mastering Five Elements Unity Force, comprehending spear intent, and advancing to the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage. He left seclusion and planned to visit Ruokai Mountain to see whether he could hatch the Phoenix Egg.

• Mi Zangyuan confirmed that he had obtained metal-attribute power of the laws and took He Pingsheng back to Redstone City.
• He Pingsheng enhanced the Sumeru Pearl into two Great Freedom Pearls, each containing a vast space without spiritual energy.
• He Pingsheng mastered Five Elements Unity Force and used it to strengthen his flame, Vajra Shield, and Yellow Turban Strongman divine abilities.
• He Pingsheng consumed the Spear Intent Crystal over several years and developed his own understanding of the way of the spear.
• He Pingsheng refined the thirteenth restriction on the Ten-Thousand Souls Banner, advanced to the fifth layer of the Golden Core Stage, and left seclusion to visit Ruokai Mountain.

He Pingsheng discovered that Xiao He had reached the Golden Core Stage and gave her defensive treasures and higher-level cultivation techniques. Ling Zhiwang then revealed that he had suffered wisdom severance, and He Pingsheng offered him an Icefield Divine Dew.

• He Pingsheng learned that Xiao He had reached the Golden Core Stage after surviving a six-nine heavenly tribulation.
• He Pingsheng gave Xiao He three magical treasures and the Golden Core and Nascent Soul chapters of a cultivation technique.
• Xiao He told He Pingsheng that Old Cheng had not returned, though his Life Tablet remained intact, and that Ling Zhiwang had come looking for him.
• Ling Zhiwang told He Pingsheng that he had suffered wisdom severance and planned to leave cultivation behind for a life of comfort.

He Pingsheng recruited Ling Zhiwang to manage a commerce association he planned to establish in Great Liang’s Imperial Capital, offering him Icefield Divine Dew in exchange for thirty years of service. Ling agreed and brought in Huang Shen to handle purchasing, while He promised to help Huang reach the Golden Core Stage if he proved himself.

• He Pingsheng showed Ling Zhiwang Icefield Divine Dew and offered it in exchange for thirty years managing his new commerce association.
• Ling doubted He Pingsheng could establish a commerce association in the Imperial Capital until He showed him the Imperial Crown Prince’s permit.
• Ling accepted the offer and asked to bring Huang Shen, a trusted purchasing specialist, to join the venture.
• He Pingsheng gave Ling the Icefield Divine Dew and met Huang Shen, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with water and wood Spirit Roots.
• He Pingsheng promised to provide Huang with the treasures needed to reach the Golden Core Stage if he performed well.
