Chapter Summaries

Luo Yang left Wu Shenglan after rescuing her and returned home, where a call from Ye Zi eased his worries about her and Song Meiqi. Later, inspired by Grandmaster Yingma’s dance, he decided to adapt it into shamanic martial arts.

• Luo Yang told Wu Shenglan he would not help Yang Long, Zhang Bai, and Han Shaokun after they had tried to use thugs against him, then refused her hint to invite her home and left her beneath a hibiscus tree.

• Luo Yang used the mask to enter the mysterious space and watched Grandmaster Yingma dance beneath a beam of golden light.
• Luo Yang decided to adapt Grandmaster Yingma’s spirit-channeling Shamanic Dance into shamanic martial arts, then began copying and changing the movements.

Ye Zi left Song Meiqi in Luo Yang’s care before catching her flight, and Ye Zi’s parents arrived to see their recovered granddaughter. After introducing himself to Ye Yiming and Jiang Xianrong, Luo Yang learned that Ye Yiming had come to ask him for help.

• Ye Yiming told Luo Yang he had come specifically to ask for his help, and Luo Yang asked what he needed.

Luo Yang traveled with Ye Yiming to Sanxingdui to investigate an excavation where archaeologists had fallen seriously ill. He became intrigued by a bronze mask connected to his suspicions about the Ancestral Shaman lineage and agreed to see the patients despite Ma Zhonghua’s doubts.

• Ye Yiming told Luo Yang that archaeologists excavating a new sacrificial pit at Sanxingdui had fallen seriously ill, and that director Ma Zhonghua had asked for help.
• Ye Yiming brought Luo Yang to Ma Zhonghua’s office, where Ma was surprised by Luo Yang’s youth and delayed taking him to the patients.

• Ma Zhonghua told Ye Yiming that an expert team was expected to arrive the next day, then returned to the office and offered to take Luo Yang to see the patients.

Luo Yang investigated the mysterious illness affecting eight people in isolation and discovered that Shi Fei was reciting a shamanic incantation while apparently possessed by an evil spirit. After Luo Yang used the Ancestral Witch Spirit-Attachment Seal, the spirit reacted, and he asked it who it was.

• Ma Zhonghua took Luo Yang and Ye Yiming to a remote isolation area where eight unconscious people were being treated.

• Shi Fei struggled against his restraints and recited part of a shamanic incantation, which Luo Yang recognized.
• Luo Yang inscribed the Ancestral Witch Spirit-Attachment Seal on Shi Fei's forehead, provoking the spirit to speak.
• Luo Yang asked the spirit who it was.

Luo Yang examined Shi Fei and Bai Jing, concluding that an artifact from the Sacrificial Pit had affected the archaeological team through a force that influenced the brain rather than a contagious virus. Ma Zhonghua declined to take him to the site before the expert team arrived, so Luo Yang left his number and warned that any future help would not be free.

• Shi Fei became agitated during Luo Yang's examination, then abruptly fell asleep when Director Luo entered the room.
• Luo Yang examined Bai Jing with a Spirit Infusion Seal and found that she had the same condition as Shi Fei, though she recited a different incantation.
• Luo Yang told Ma Zhonghua that the patients had likely encountered an artifact in the Sacrificial Pit and asked to visit it.
• Luo Yang argued that an invasive energy was affecting the patients' brains and was not contagious, and suggested testing his theory on animals.
• Ma Zhonghua said he needed approval to take Luo Yang to the Sacrificial Pit and proposed waiting for the expert team the next day.
• Luo Yang left his number and told Ma Zhonghua that he would charge for any future help.

After Ye Yiming teased Luo Yang into seeming to admit he and Ye Zi were a couple, Luo Yang looked after Song Meiqi while Ye Zi called from Mangya. Once Meiqi was asleep, Luo Yang practiced the Spirit Communication Technique so he would be ready to help Ma Zhonghua.

• Ye Yiming questioned Luo Yang about Ye Zi and treated his reluctant agreement as a confession, then he and Jiang Xianrong left Song Meiqi in Luo Yang's care.

• Luo Yang practiced the Spirit Communication Technique by studying Grandmaster Yingma's memories in the Golden Bronze Mask.

Luo Yang agreed to treat the archaeologists at Sanxingdui Museum for one million, with the fee and conditions set in a contract. On the way to the isolation ward, he confronted Zhang Bai and left him humiliated before continuing toward the patients.

• Ma Zhonghua told Luo Yang that another expert had developed symptoms, and Luo Yang demanded one million to solve the problem.

• Zhang Bai accused Luo Yang of abandoning their group, and Luo Yang twisted his finger and knocked him down.
• Luo Yang walked toward the isolation ward as the young nurse stared at his shadow and forgot to help Zhang Bai.

• Zhang Zhi mistook Ye Yiming for the miracle doctor and mocked him until Ma Zhonghua introduced Luo Yang as Dr. Luo Yang.

• Luo Yang offered to wager five hundred thousand yuan, promising to accept Zhang Zhi's accusations if he failed and demanding that Zhang stop interfering if he succeeded.
• Zhang Zhi agreed to the wager, believing Luo Yang could not cure an expert in half an hour.

• Zhang Zhi and Luo Yang wagered 500,000 that Luo Yang could cure Shi Fei within half an hour, and Ye Yiming reassured Ma Zhonghua that Luo Yang was trustworthy.
• Luo Yang put on the Golden Bronze Mask and activated the Spirit Infusion Seal, entering the spirit communication state inside the isolation room.
• Luo Yang chanted and performed the Shamanic Dance, building an energy field that let him contact the evil spirit possessing Shi Fei.
• The evil spirit threatened Luo Yang and sent a thread of spiritual energy into his chest through Shi Fei’s mouth.
• Luo Yang practiced the Ancestral Shaman Qi Refining Art, weakening and absorbing the invading spiritual energy until the chill disappeared.

Luo Yang emerged from the isolation room with Shi Fei cured, proving Zhang Zhi wrong and winning their 500,000-yuan bet. After Zhang left in humiliation, Luo Yang prepared to treat more patients before visiting the Sacrificial Pit.

• As the deadline approached, Luo Yang came out of the isolation room looking dejected, then called Shi Fei out behind him, healthy and energetic.

• Luo Yang headed into Bai Jing's isolation room to treat the next patient.

• Ma Zhonghua pointed Luo Yang toward Su Changming's isolation room, and Luo Yang went to treat him.

• Luo Yang asked about the pit’s age, and Su Changming estimated it was at least five thousand years old before Luo Yang asked how it had fallen.

Luo Yang learned from Su Changming about a Sanxingdui kneeling figure believed to have been a shaman, then subdued the Bronze Knife’s hostile artifact spirit with the Witch Ruins. He carried the knife out of the excavation site to take it to the Museum for further treatment, leaving Su Changming worried that he might be stealing it.

• Su Changming told Luo Yang about a kneeling figure from Sacrificial Pit No. 2 that he believed had been a high-status shaman.

• The knife’s spirit identified itself as Feather Blade and asked Luo Yang to spare it in exchange for following him.
• Luo Yang hesitated because he did not want to destroy the spirit, but carrying the knife could land him in prison.
