Chapter Summaries

Lin Shisan wondered whether the mysterious scroll had absorbed a Spirit Stone, then was summoned to Greenstone Plaza with hundreds of other Servant Disciples. Two immortal ladies arrived and selected workers, and the white-robed woman who had sent him after the Spirit Cat singled him out, leaving him afraid of what she intended.

• Lin Shisan put one of Niu Shan’s marked Spirit Stones into the Little Black Cauldron to test whether it could absorb it, but woke to find that nothing had changed.

• As Lin Shisan was leaving with Chen Yang, the white-robed immortal lady who had sent him to find the Spirit Cat called him back, and he feared she had chosen him for a dangerous purpose.

Lin Shisan and nine other Servant Disciples were taken by two immortal ladies to Jade Maiden Peak, where dangerous travel and Flame Pills killed two of their number. The eight survivors waited nervously in a hall, unsure what peril awaited them next.

• The cat-keeping immortal lady ordered Lin Shisan to join the group, and Han Yansong left them to travel without him.

Lin Shisan and the remaining Servant Disciples waited at Jade Maiden Peak, where Little Tabby Cat killed another disciple before the mature woman assigned them to pick Heartless Azure Spirit Fruit.

Lin Shisan used the Nine Heavens True Dragon Art and thunderwood to catch four Azure Spirit Fruits at once, revealing an apparent innate affinity for lightning that astonished the senior sisters. He and the remaining servants continued gathering fruit in the thunder sea as the women questioned how he could possess the Five Elements Thunder Spirit Body despite his false spiritual root and lack of a Dao Seed.

After a long, feverish dream of drifting past Hu Niu and seeing Lin Qinghan threatened by a white tiger, Lin Shisan woke in the sect after surviving the Thunder Sea. The young woman caring for him began massaging his numb lower body, leaving him flustered by her intimate attention.

• Lin Shisan repeatedly regained consciousness, then dreamed that he drifted to Ox Family Village and saw Hu Niu fall into the river.
• He watched Lin Qinghan fish by the river, heard him offer comfort, and saw thirteen stars align before a winged white tiger lunged at his father.
• Lin Shisan jolted awake, realizing the stars and white tiger had been part of a dream, and thanked the young woman who had cared for him for three days and nights.
