Chapter Summaries

The Fu Family traveled to Changtian Mountain to search for fire seeds and discovered a hidden secret realm they could not enter until Qin Yan reached Foundation Establishment. They entered the dormant volcano to explore, using crystal stones to cope with the heat.

• Fu Yunting showed the Fu Family Changtian Mountain as a place to search for fire seeds for Qin Yan.
• Fubao brought everyone to Changtian Mountain, where Qin Zhuo killed a mutated aquatic beast that emerged from the lake.
• Meimei led the group to the beast’s lair, where they found unusual objects and a passage into the volcano.
• Meimei discovered spatial energy and a concealed formation hiding a secret realm, but said they needed to wait until Qin Yan reached Foundation Establishment to enter.
• Meimei warned Qin Yan that forming her core would stop her from growing taller, so Qin Yan decided to cultivate more slowly.
• The group entered the volcano, and Fu Wenzi handed out white crystal stones that cooled the air around them.

Qin Yan guided fire energy into the Life God Tree within her soul, which began nurturing a spiritual flame. After two months in the volcano, the flame had grown but had not ripened, while the Fu Family continued visiting her.

• Qin Yan found a comfortable spot in the volcano and directed fire elements toward the Life God Tree, which absorbed them and began nurturing a spiritual flame.
• Lingshu examined Qin Yan’s soul, discovered the divine tree, and told her to keep it secret while assuring her that its flame could rival the top heavenly and earthly flames.
• Qin Yan stayed in the cave to cultivate as the Fu Family took turns visiting her, while the Evil God Church spent a month searching unsuccessfully for her.
• Old Master Fu watched the Brahma Chickens eat tiny red stones near the volcano and later returned to fishing.
• Two months after Qin Yan began cultivating, Fu Wenzi and the Fu Family’s sons arrived with supplies and found that the flame-bearing fruit had grown to nearly twice its previous size.

Qin Yan enjoyed a visit from her uncles at the volcano, then worked harder to cultivate her spiritual flame after they left. Outside, Fu Wenzi tried to get blood from Old Master Fu’s mutated roosters for talismans and was chased and pecked by them.

• Qin Yan welcomed her uncles, ate the food they brought, and gave each of them a handful of small fire crystals.

• Fu Yunting explained that Qin Yan needed to grow stronger to face dangers beyond the Fu Family’s protection.
• Fu Wenzi admired Old Master Fu’s three mutated roosters and said their blood would be good for talismans, so the roosters attacked and chased him while the others refused to help.

The Fu family discovered that the Brahma Chickens could eat fire crystal stones and withstand a volcano’s heat, then watched them grow fiercer as they fed. The chickens eventually fought off several Anomaly centipedes near Changtian Mountain and ate the corpses.

• Fu Nanshan showed the Brahma Chickens fire crystal stones, and they snatched and ate them at once.

• Qin Yan brought the Dragon Egg, Dinosaur Egg, and five unknown eggs to her bed, where a Little Flower Spirit protested when the Dinosaur Egg began to crack beneath it.

Qin Yan’s family livestreamed the hatching of the mysterious egg, presenting the dinosaur as another of her tamed beasts to distract attention from the family’s valuable crops. A tiny dinosaur hatched with Qin Yan’s help, and the stream’s viewers surged as they stared at it in stunned silence.

• Fu Wenli suggested livestreaming the egg’s hatching so the dinosaur could reinforce the idea that Qin Yan’s unusual abilities came from beast taming.
• Fu Yunshen proposed saying Senior Turtle had given Qin Yan the egg, and Fu Wenzi started a livestream while the others kept out of the camera’s view.

• After half an hour, the little dinosaur kicked through the shell and crawled out, and someone picked it up and wiped it clean.
• Fu Wenzi noticed the viewer count rising rapidly while the comments stopped, and wondered whether the livestream system had glitched.

• Fu Wenzi livestreamed the newborn Thunder Dragon as Qin Yan bottle-fed it, then ended the broadcast despite viewers’ pleas.

• Jixiang and the others destroyed the Flaying Woman's remaining disguises, revealing her melted-wax-like face and driving her into a frenzy.

Jixiang and the others used the Dreamweaving Butterfly to uncover the Flaying Woman’s past, then Jinbao killed her and Qin Zhuo delivered her to the Special Administration Bureau. The next morning, Qin Yan visited the Brahma Chickens on Changtian Mountain, learned which eggs could hatch, and collected the rest to take home.

• The Dreamweaving Butterfly viewed the Flaying Woman’s memories and revealed how a botched plastic surgery led her to join the Evil God Church and kill the woman whose face she coveted.

Qin Yan explored Changtian Mountain, gathered precious herbs, and found a hot spring where she and Old Master Fu cooked and enjoyed eggs laid by their Brahma Chickens. Meanwhile, the Evil God Church learned the Flaying Woman had died, but its members were warned that anyone who went after Qin Yan would die, leaving the Archbishop to focus on his god-making plan.

• Qin Yan collected lingzhi, dendrobium, and several ginseng plants while roaming Changtian Mountain on the rooster.
• At an Evil God Church meeting, Doctor dismissed the Flaying Woman’s death, and the members acknowledged that the Fu Family was difficult to confront.
• The little girl with black eyes warned her brother and the others that they would die if they went after Qin Yan, so the Archbishop adjourned the meeting and resolved to pursue his god-making plan.
• Qin Yan returned muddy to Old Master Fu, who checked that she was safe, and she told him she had found a hot spring.
• Qin Yan and Old Master Fu cooked ten eggs in the hot spring, then tasted the warm, sweet eggs and found them exceptionally delicious.

• Fu Wenli fought the Two-Headed Shark Anomaly with his giant Puppets and an ice-blue longsword while Qin Yan and Fu Nanshan watched the livestream.
