• Yang Yi asked Dad about Limb Spider Cult materials, and Dad sent Bales to guide him through the market.
• Bales explained that Yang Yi’s new grave sin mark identified him as a heretic, then offered to join his crew as a ship’s doctor.
• Bales recognized Yang Yi’s Grafting Kit, so Yang Yi removed one of Bales’s arms and prepared to reattach it as a demonstration.

Yang Yi practiced Grafting Surgery by reattaching Bales’s severed arm, then went with Su Na to inspect the Grafting Order’s white tent. They browsed preserved limbs, organs, and corpses while keeping an eye on their exposure level.

• Old Dad checked the cracking goldfish bottle and reflected that he was nearly ready to summon the Collector for a final trade.
• Yang Yi used his beginner Grafting Surgery skill, with Su Na’s guidance, to reattach Bales’s arm while Bales screamed and eventually passed out.

Yang Yi and Su Na assembled a powerful mixed-species body for Mars, who chose the risk of Otherworldly Demon limbs because he wanted to become stronger. After buying experimental creatures and arranging for their Slave Marks, Yang Yi left to browse magic items and books while the Marks were prepared.

• Mars asked Yang Yi to give him powerful Otherworldly Demon limbs, and Yang Yi warned him that they could make him lose control and turn into a monster.
• Mars privately told Yang Yi, "I want to become stronger," and Yang Yi and Su Na selected a Giant Clawed Shrimp claw, a squid tentacle, and two Cyclops legs for him.
• Su Na bought a badly damaged Deep One corpse to serve as Mars's torso, bringing the cost of his assembled body to 228,000 Conch Coins.
• Su Na bought several living creatures for research, and Yang Yi used Old Dad's twenty-percent discount to pay approximately 5.5 million Conch Coins for the purchases.
• Old Dad said the Slave Marks would take about two hours, and Yang Yi said he would browse magic items and books while he waited.

Yang Yi rejected Old Dad's proposal to put a Slave Mark on Cui Xiya and learned how Brain Worms controlled their hosts. He and Su Na left the Treasure Ship's interior, where Yang Yi noticed his Exposure had risen to 46% and discovered that the shop's most expensive armor was counterfeit.

• Yang Yi found the Crystal Cottage’s construction cost and asked Su Na to decide whether to build it or prioritize the ship’s level-six upgrade, but she left the choice to him.

• Yang Yi opened the Light Container and used the Limb Restoration Spell to repair Cui Xiya’s limbs and torso, spending nine Mana.

• Yang Yi used Long-Legged Sardine bones and skins to graft a jaw and two pairs of wings onto Cui Xiya, then cast the Limb Restoration Spell to attach them.

• Yang Yi assigned Cui Xiya ship permissions and looked through her public crew panel.

Yang Yi reviewed Cui Xiya’s abilities, then updated his shop and found players organizing a One-Eye Cult on the forum. After One-Eye Big Guy No. 37 sent him 100,000 Conch Coins and offered to manage the group’s funds, Yang Yi decided to let the cult continue.

• Yang Yi examined Cui Xiya’s status and concluded that she was more valuable as a support worker than a fighter.

• Yang Yi deleted his planned reprimand and allowed the One-Eye Cult to carry on.

Yang Yi learned how the One-Eye Cult began and allowed it to continue, giving it a doctrine centered on survival and self-interest. Ma Dabao embraced the doctrine while Yang Yi moved on to publish information about the Golden Commerce Guild, Exposure, and the Sea of No Light.

• Ma Dabao explained that players had created the cult as a way to discourage Indigenous missionaries from approaching them.

• Yang Yi published a post describing his visit to the Golden Commerce Guild, ways to manage Exposure, goods found in the Sea of No Light, and a Higher Siren.

Yang Yi learned that Cui Xiya’s vision of the Great Blasphemer had made her a believer, while Su Na investigated the Light Fairy’s unusual nature. Su Na concluded that Yang Yi’s Limb Restoration Spell had repaired Cui Xiya’s magic circle and altered her faith.

• Yang Yi calmed Cui Xiya by promising to build her a private house, then heard her describe a dream in which the Great Blasphemer had saved her from death.

Yang Yi learned from Cui Xiya how the Sea of No Light shifted and how sailors found their headings through rituals. When thoughts of The Charred Tree nearly caused him to catch fire, Cui Xiya grew wary and began explaining the ritual’s stages.

• Yang Yi installed a crude wooden house for Cui Xiya, who criticized his craftsmanship but agreed to improve the house herself.
• Yang Yi asked whether Cui Xiya could make equipment, and she admitted she could produce only Fine equipment slowly and without a blessing.
• Cui Xiya explained that most seas in the Sea of No Light moved and changed coordinates, making maps useless and necessitating rituals to find a heading.
• Yang Yi and Cui Xiya discussed the known special seas, and Yang Yi questioned why there was no Burning Sea despite his memory of The Charred Tree.
• Yang Yi’s Sanity dropped by over thirty points as he recalled The Charred Tree, and strange signs of burning appeared until Cui Xiya snapped him out of it.
