After Li Fan reached level ten, Li Fei and his family entered the Star Dou Forest to find Soul Beasts for the brothers’ first Spirit Rings. They located an Adamantine Bull herd, but Li Fei worried that isolating a suitable bull would be too dangerous.

• Li Fan told Li Fei he had reached level ten, and the brothers decided to tell Li Ming and prepare to hunt Soul Beasts.
• Li Ming agreed to take the family into the Star Dou Forest the next day, bringing Jiang Xin to protect the brothers while keeping their plans private.
• Li Ming warned the brothers about trusting strangers, and Li Fei overcame his nervousness as they entered the forest.
• Li Ming used his map to guide the family around the Gale Wolf Pack toward an Adamantine Bull herd so Li Fan could find a suitable first Spirit Ring.
• Li Fei spotted several bulls of the right age but questioned how Li Ming could separate one from the herd without being overwhelmed.

• Li Ming explained that an eight-hundred-year Adamantine Bull guarded the herd’s perimeter, then sneaked toward the herd while Jiang Xin stayed with Li Fei and Li Fan.
• Li Ming threw Hand Grenades into the herd, causing it to scatter, then leaped onto an eight-hundred-year Adamantine Bull and knocked it unconscious with his Third Soul Skill, Arm Hammer.

• Li Ming pinned down the bull while Li Fan stabbed it through the eye with a short sword to kill it and begin absorbing its Spirit Ring.

• She Long and Pufferfish recognized from the herd and drag marks that someone had hunted Adamantine Bulls there.

Qian Renxue encountered Li Fan absorbing an eight-hundred-year spirit ring and initially thought his father was endangering him. After Li Fan succeeded, she demanded that Li Fei explain the theory that made it possible.

• Qian Renxue followed Li Ming's trail with She Long and Pufferfish and found Li Fan absorbing the Adamantine Bull's dark yellow spirit ring.
• Qian Renxue recognized the ring as an eight-hundred-year one and ordered Li Fan to stop, then accused Li Ming of risking his son's life.
• Li Ming explained that Li Fan was enduring the absorption without signs of failure, and Qian Renxue had She Long and Pufferfish release their pressure on him.
• Qian Renxue waited more than three hours until Li Fan finished absorbing the ring, then asked how he had exceeded the age limit.
• Li Fan credited his brother's theory, and Li Fei began explaining that absorbing a spirit ring exposed a soul master to the impact of two kinds of energy.

Li Fei explained his method for enduring spirit rings beyond the usual limit, then proved it by absorbing a thousand-year Gluttony Pig ring. Qian Renxue appointed him as her training companion and ordered him to report to Spirit City in two weeks.

• Li Fei explained that physical conditioning and accumulated spiritual power helped resist a spirit ring and its Soul Beast remnant soul.

• Qian Renxue ordered Li Fei to report to Spirit City in two weeks as her training companion, then led the group out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After Qian Renxue left, Li Fei and his family decided to move to Spirit City and seek Spirit Hall’s protection because his theory could make them targets.

Boss Wang's Soul Hunter Squad ambushed the convoy to steal the Li Family's thirty million Gold Soul Coins, and Wu Tie attacked Boss Wang as he charged the carriage.

• Li Ming told Wu Tie that the next Saintess had chosen his son as her cultivation partner, and said his wife insisted the whole family move to Spirit City.

• Boss Wang assigned Skinny Monkey and seven others to hold Wu Tie's squad back while he went after Li Ming's family.
• Wu Tie spotted the ambush and stopped the convoy; Jiang Xin and Li Fei prepared their Flintlock Rifles as Wang Ao and his men emerged from the forest.
• Wang Ao charged the carriage with his Tibetan Mastiff Martial Soul, while Wu Tie used his Fourth Soul Skill, Blade Shadow Triumvirate, to attack him.

Li Ming and his family turned the battle against Boss Wang’s group with a Flintlock Rifle and a Hand Grenade. After Boss Wang was killed, Skinny Monkey and the surviving Soul Masters fled into the forest, while Wu Tie’s party stayed behind to protect the family.

• Jiang Xin used her speed-enhancing Soul Skills to fly to Boss Wang and shove the Hand Grenade into his mouth, killing him in the explosion.
• Skinny Monkey fled with the surviving Soul Masters, and Wu Tie’s group withdrew their Martial Souls rather than pursue them.

Li Ming and his family reached Spirit City after surviving Wang Erniu’s attack and completing their journey with Wu Tie’s Soul Hunter Squad. They settled into a villa and bought a storefront, leaving Jiang Xin to calculate that the family still had ten million Gold Soul Coins.
