Chapter Summaries

Ye Fei underwent body tempering at qi refining second tier, enduring the discomfort as spiritual energy tempered his meridians. He woke after nightfall, found the two little fluffballs had waited for him, and discovered the tempering had improved his attributes, cultivation speed, and Flame Spirit Armor charge.

• Ye Fei prepared food for Little Fox and Little White Tiger, then began body tempering with 100 points of spiritual energy.
• The spiritual energy turned violent as it tempered Ye Fei's meridians, while fire-like energy gathered around him and reached the Phoenix Tree.
• Little Fox and Little White Tiger watched over Ye Fei and waited through the afternoon as he gradually adapted to the circulation of spiritual energy.
• Ye Fei woke beneath a starry sky, greeted Qingxue and Feng Bai, and prepared dinner for them.
• Ye Fei checked his results and found that body tempering had increased his attributes, cultivation speed, and Flame Spirit Armor's stored energy.
• Ye Fei went to bed with Qingxue, Feng Bai, and the unhatched pet egg after dinner.

Ye Fei’s newly hatched Hound pup joined the household, and Ye Fei named it Eclipse Moon before taking his pets out to search for Supply Crates. The chapter ended with Eclipse Moon finding a crate hidden in a dead tree’s snowy branches.

• Ye Fei woke to find a ravenous Hound pup tugging at his hair, while Little Fox and Little White Tiger reacted to the newcomer.
• Ye Fei named the pup Eclipse Moon and told his pets they would search for Supply Crates that morning before he resumed Body Tempering.
• Little Fox taught Eclipse Moon to look for hidden crates and seedlings, then pressed the playful pup into the snow when it began rolling around.
• Eclipse Moon focused and ran ahead through the snow, leading Ye Fei to a dead tree with a Supply Crate buried in its branches.
• Ye Fei chopped down the tree and caught the falling crate as Eclipse Moon happily circled him.

Ye Fei discovered an Unknown Trap beneath a snowdrift and used Hemp Rope to pull the nearby Supply Crate free from a safe distance. The trap exploded and fired poison spikes, and Ye Fei approached the recovered crate and the pit after the attack ended.

• Ye Fei's puppy warned him about a snowdrift, and Ye Fei identified an Unknown Trap capable of killing tigers and leopards.
• Ye Fei bought Hemp Rope, looped it around the Supply Crate, and retreated more than twenty meters with the puppy and the two little fluffballs.
• Ye Fei pulled the crate free and raised Golden Light Shield as the trap exploded and launched a barrage of spikes.
• Ye Fei recognized the spikes as poison arrows, collected the Green-Quality Supply Crate, and approached the three-meter-wide, five-meter-deep pit as Gray Mist drifted from it.

Ye Fei found a red Mystery Treasure Chest that required 100 strength to open, so he asked a powerful player to open it and split the contents. The chest yielded a Trap-Crafting Manual the player learned automatically, and Ye Fei ended the day preparing for another round of Body Tempering.

• Ye Fei found a damaged trap containing a red Mystery Treasure Chest that required 100 strength to open, then stored it in his Inventory.
• Ye Fei planted two pine saplings and one cypress sapling, then offered the chest to a big spender in exchange for half its contents.
• The big spender opened the chest and learned its Red Quality Trap-Crafting Manual automatically, then offered Ye Fei materials or a future manual in return.
• Ye Fei thanked the big spender for his earlier gifts and accepted his offer to give him a Cultivation Technique when he found one.
• Ye Fei cultivated until his Spiritual Energy exceeded a hundred points, ate dinner, and began another round of Body Tempering.

After cultivating, Ye Fei comforted his three cubs and warned them not to stray far from home. He then discussed a nearby trap with Jun, who described a strange aquatic beast frozen in an iceberg.

• Ye Fei finished Body Tempering, continued cultivating, and invited Little Fox, Little White Tiger, and Puppy to dinner.
• Puppy stumbled while jumping down, and Ye Fei comforted the embarrassed cub as Little Fox teased him.
• Little Fox wondered why Puppy, also called Eclipse Moon, had hatched from an egg and planned to ask Feng Bai about it.
• Ye Fei told the cubs they could play outside but warned them not to go far because the area might still be dangerous.
• Ye Fei messaged Jun about a trap that might have appeared recently, and Jun agreed the world could be randomly spawning dangers and opportunities.
• Jun told Ye Fei that a cliff had recovered and now contained a strange fish-tailed, humanlike beast frozen in the iceberg.

Ye Fei warned Iceberg/6666-6155-6999 that the frozen creature near the cliff might still be alive and dangerous. He then shared a Snow Mountain chat report about a family attacked by a leopard that had escaped from amber, leaving the mother and child stranded on their roof.

• Ye Fei discussed his pets and their appetites with Iceberg/6666-6155-6999, who wondered how many animals lived in Ye Fei's home.
• Ye Fei warned Iceberg/6666-6155-6999 to avoid the cliff and prepare for a creature that might be frozen rather than dead, and cautioned that its attacks could be mental.
• Ye Fei told Iceberg/6666-6155-6999 about a leopard that had escaped from amber and eaten someone after being brought home as a decoration.
• A woman in the Snow Mountain chat channel pleaded for help after the leopard killed her husband and attacked their home while she and her child sheltered on the roof.
• The woman stopped messaging, and the chat channel returned to its usual activity without anyone coming to save her.

Ye Fei told Iceberg that frozen creatures could revive and learned that Eclipse Moon’s egg had been dug out of ice. After tending to his pets and gathering resources, Ye Fei earned a courtyard-cleaning reward and sold materials, bringing him close to affording a Spirit-Gathering Formation.

• Ye Fei warned Iceberg that frozen beasts might revive and attack, then told him Eclipse Moon’s pet egg had been dug out of ice.
• Iceberg remembered seeing a frozen egg near his home and decided to dig it out the next day.
• After cultivating overnight, Ye Fei woke to find Feng Bai and Eclipse Moon asleep beside him while Little Fox watched the courtyard.
• Ye Fei swept the courtyard, received 50 Survival Points for cleaning it 50 times, and chopped down four mature pine trees.
• Ye Fei stored the timber and listed the pine needles and resin for sale, leaving him nearly able to afford a Spirit-Gathering Formation.

Ye Fei completed his hunting quest with help from his pets and used the reward to craft thorny defense nets. After installing them around the courtyard, he tested their sharpness himself.

• Feng Bai and Eclipse Moon finished evolving, and Ye Fei took his three pets out to hunt for his daily quest.
• Little Fox, Feng Bai, and Eclipse Moon helped Ye Fei gather ten prey before noon, completing the quest.
• Ye Fei opened the level 2 Hunting Gift Pack and received Survival Points and a Briar Defense Net crafting recipe.
• Ye Fei bought briar thorns, poison briars, and rope, then crafted ten defense nets with varied effects.
• Ye Fei installed the nets along the courtyard walls and felt their thorns sting his palm when he tested them.

Ye Fei bought an Artifact Refining Furnace and materials for a Primary Spirit-Gathering Formation, but spent nearly all his remaining resources starting the twenty-four-hour refinement. As he cultivated overnight, Little Fox and Feng Bai went hunting and returned at dawn with two lion carcasses.

• Ye Fei bought the furnace, formation recipe, and materials from the Points Mall, then discovered that the furnace needed far more stored energy than he had.
• Ye Fei exchanged 500 survival points for 5,000 units of energy and started refining the formation, which would take twenty-four hours.
• Ye Fei cultivated while Little Fox and Feng Bai slept, then left Eclipse Moon to guard the house as they went hunting.
• Little Fox and Feng Bai killed two lions and struggled to drag the carcasses home through the snow.
• Eclipse Moon tried to help carry the prey, but Feng Bai roared at him, so he returned to the courtyard while the two hunters hauled the lions to Ye Fei's doorstep.

Ye Fei found Qingxue and Feng Bai exhausted after they dragged two lions home, and warned them that their safety mattered more than earning money. After selling most of the lions’ materials, he noticed Puppy trying to keep him inside and spotted a glittering creature labeled a lost “small animal” outside the courtyard.

• Ye Fei fed Qingxue and Feng Bai Pet Heart Pills, scolded them gently for risking themselves, and explained that he valued their safety more than money.
• Little Fox understood Ye Fei’s concern and explained it to Feng Bai, while the two little fluffballs rested on the restorative bed at home.
• Ye Fei processed the two lions, sold their leather, claws, and fangs, and earned over a thousand points.
• Puppy barked and tugged Ye Fei away from the door, but Ye Fei carried Puppy to the doorway and saw a glittering, three-to-four-meter-tall creature labeled a lost “small animal.”

Ye Fei and Little Fox met a wary Seven-Colored Deer Cub and fed it until it was full, revealing that it was Spirit-level and tamable. The deer stayed outside the courtyard while Ye Fei ate with his pets and decided to spend the day cultivating.

• Ye Fei identified the towering Seven-Colored Deer as a protective illusion hiding a small, hungry, extremely dangerous cub.
• Little Fox spoke with the deer and learned it wanted food, so Ye Fei bought Chinese cabbages and fed it from outside the courtyard.
• After eating thirty cabbages, the cub appeared full, and Ye Fei saw that it was Spirit-level and tamable.
• The deer lay down in the snow outside instead of entering the courtyard, while Little Fox returned inside with Ye Fei.
• Ye Fei shared braised lion's head with Little Fox, Puppy, and Little White Tiger, then chose to stay home and cultivate.

Ye Fei discovered that increased Comprehension had not improved his Spiritual Energy absorption, so he still needed a better cultivation technique. After his pets argued with the hungry Seven-Colored Deer, it joined the household as Phantom Spirit and settled in to cultivate by sleeping.

• Ye Fei concluded that Comprehension did not seem to affect his cultivation speed and that he needed a high-grade cultivation technique and a better Spiritual Root.
• Little Fox, Little White Tiger, and Puppy argued with the Seven-Colored Deer outside the courtyard, and Little Fox decided the deer could enter after being taught to join the family.
• Ye Fei opened the gate, comforted the newly tamed Seven-Colored Deer, and named it Phantom Spirit after it became his pet.
• Ye Fei fed Phantom Spirit five heads of Chinese Cabbage, and Little Fox directed it to the Meditation Cushion instead of the house.
• Phantom Spirit curled up on the Meditation Cushion and gained loyalty and mood by resting in the comfortable cultivation environment, leaving Ye Fei disheartened by its effortless cultivation.

Ye Fei used Heart Pills to raise the Seven-Colored Deer Cub’s loyalty to 100, then prepared a trap to hunt beasts and received a message about a new coal-fired heating device. The chapter left him considering the temperature controller after confirming that no identical item was listed for trade.

• Ye Fei returned from chopping trees and decided to use Heart Pills to improve the Seven-Colored Deer Cub’s low loyalty.
• Little Deer woke, and Ye Fei fed it more than a dozen Heart Pills while Little Fox explained their healing effects.
• Ye Fei bought additional Heart Pills until Little Deer’s loyalty reached 100 and it gained the Protect the Master tag.
• Ye Fei planned to lure the Snow Wolf Pack to his courtyard at night and arranged fencing around a gap in the wall.
• Junior Schoolmate sent Ye Fei a coal-fired temperature controller, and Ye Fei found no identical item on the trading interface.

Ye Fei faced a Lion Pack with help from Little Deer’s suppression ability and his animal companions, while the lions hesitated at the edge of his unfinished courtyard. Little Fox and Little White Tiger feigned weakness to lure them closer, and Ye Fei waited for the hidden pack leader before starting the hunt.

• Ye Fei learned that Junior Schoolmate could make one of four remaining coal-powered items if Ye Fei supplied the materials, then noticed a Lion Pack approaching his courtyard.
• Ye Fei shot an enraged lioness while Little Deer activated Spirit-level Intimidation, weakening enemies in its designated area.

• Ye Fei surrounded the Lion Pack commander and its lions with Courtyard Walls, then Little White Tiger and Qingxue killed all thirteen while Little Deer weakened them.
• Ye Fei sent his companions to rest and processed the lions into meat, leather, bones, claws, and Beast Essence Stones.
• Ye Fei told his junior schoolmate that the little ones at home had eaten most of his Beast Essence Stones, leaving him short of money.
• The junior schoolmate warned Ye Fei that tamed pets needed Heart Pills to maximize Loyalty, since animals could suddenly turn on their owners.
• Ye Fei criticized the practice of wounding beasts before taming them and questioned how Grassland players captured wolves from packs.

Ye Fei processed thirteen lions, sold some of their drops, and bought Low-Level Spirit Grass Seeds to provide better food for Phantom Spirit. He began clearing snow behind his house to make a planting area, while his pets watched and Puppy Eclipse Moon slept through its advancement.

• Ye Fei discussed grassland beast-trapping methods with Junior Schoolmate and explained that he had attracted thirteen lions on Snow Mountain.
• Ye Fei processed the lions, restored his courtyard walls, and prepared braised lion's head and spicy Lion Heart.
• Ye Fei sold leather, claws, and fangs for over six thousand Survival Points, then bought a bag of Low-Level Spirit Grass Seeds for Phantom Spirit.
• Ye Fei expanded his courtyard behind the house and began clearing a ten-by-ten-meter plot through the snow for the spirit grass.
• Little Fox gathered Little White Tiger and Phantom Spirit to watch Ye Fei work, while Puppy Eclipse Moon slept as it advanced in rank after eating the Beast Essence Stones.

Ye Fei used fertilizer to grow spirit grass for the little deer and discovered that its Recognition, unlike its Loyalty, determined whether it could become his spirit pet. He set up a Spirit-Gathering Formation for faster cultivation, while the little deer remained wary of humans but decided to protect him for now.

• Ye Fei fertilized the spirit grass patch, raising its Greening Points, and the little deer happily ate the new grass.
• The little deer gained Recognition as it enjoyed the grass, and Ye Fei learned that Recognition had to reach its maximum for him to obtain it as a spirit pet.
• Ye Fei promised to plant more grass when he had money, then placed the Spirit-Gathering Formation beneath the Phoenix Tree and showed the little deer its range.
• The little deer considered its inherited mistrust of humans and its agreement with Qingxue and Feng Bai, but decided to protect Ye Fei while he treated it well.
• Ye Fei cultivated inside the formation near midnight and felt Spiritual Energy flow into his meridians.

Ye Fei took his pets out to search for plants, and the little fluffballs returned high-grade seedlings they had selected themselves. After completing the quest, he brought them home and began preparing to plant the seedlings, while Little Fox stayed behind to protect him and remained wary of Phantom Spirit.

• Ye Fei sold leather and green-grade beast sinew, raising his points above three thousand, then fed the pets and set out to search for plants.
• Puppy finished advancing into a level 4 Hound pup, and Ye Fei found a dying Snow Lotus seedling during the quest.
• Little Fox and Little White Tiger brought back cedar seedlings, leading Ye Fei to realize the little fluffballs could identify valuable plants.
• Ye Fei and the pets gathered enough seedlings to finish the quest, including Redwood and ginseng seedlings, then returned home for lunch.
• Ye Fei began digging planting holes while Little Fox stayed behind, worried about protecting him and still distrustful of Phantom Spirit.

Ye Fei bought a bee colony and built a beehive, unlocking homestead zoning settings and dividing his courtyard into areas with different temperatures. He planned to earn more points by luring monsters that night so he could buy materials for a heating device.

• Ye Fei adjusted the homestead temperature and discovered that the grape vine was about to flower, then bought a bee colony and built a beehive box.
