• Black Tiger and Jiang Liuchuan returned and said the attacker had escaped; Jiang explained that a Sacred Lotus Fragment could bewitch the mind, and Black Tiger asked why the man had targeted Wei Sheng.

Jiang Liuchuan brought him to the White Crane Martial Arts Hall, where Hall Master Fang Heting set an apparently impossible test for accepting him as a personal disciple, and Wei Sheng claimed he had already completed it.

• Wei Sheng told Black Tiger and Jiang Liuchuan that he had ordered a corpse covered in yellow pustules burned, and they identified the growth on its arm as a Flesh-and-Blood Gu planted by the White Lotus Cult.
• Wei Sheng confirmed that he had perfected the Tiger-Howling Saber Technique, and Black Tiger agreed he could join the White Crane Martial Arts Hall as long as he kept his gang duties.

Wei Sheng sought Fang Heting’s advice about the clashing forces from his flesh-refining methods and learned that the Hong Family’s Five-Flower Horse could fuse them. Meanwhile, the injured White Lotus Envoy took refuge with the Hong Family and learned that Wei Sheng was now protected by powerful allies.

• Wei Sheng worried that the five forces in his body could clash and kill him, then went to ask Fang Heting for guidance.
• Fang Heting recognized that Wei Sheng had practiced several flesh-refining methods and warned him to keep it secret from the other disciples.
• Fang Heting told Wei Sheng about the Unity Pill, the Boshan Furnace, and the Five-Flower Horse at the Hong Family as ways to fuse forces.
• The injured White Lotus Envoy sought shelter at the Hong Family, and Hong Chengyuan told him that Wei Sheng had become Fang Heting’s personal disciple.
• Hong Chengyuan warned the White Lotus Envoy that Wei Sheng was protected by the Fish-Dragon Gang and White Crane Martial Arts Hall, while the Envoy asked to borrow the Hong Family’s Five-Flower Horse.

Wei Sheng sought a way to obtain the Five-Flower Horse while investigating the growing White Lotus Cult threat and preparing a gift for Fang Heting. After Wei Sheng heard that the Hong Family’s treasure had been stolen, Fang Heting revealed that he had the Five-Flower Horse and gave it to Wei Sheng.

• Wei Sheng dismissed the idea of sneaking into the Hong Residence and decided to ask Fang Heting for help obtaining the Five-Flower Horse.

A Chang then arrived at the White Crane Martial Arts Hall and begged Wei Sheng to rescue his father, whom the Azure Dragon Hall had taken as live bait for Treasure Fish.

• Wei Sheng waited until he had enough Dao Origin Points, perfected the White Crane Flesh Refinement Method, and consumed the Five-Flower Horse to merge his five forces.

Wei Sheng infiltrated Chu Dongjiao’s hunt for Silver-Sand Carp by disguising himself as Lan Yu, while Chu Dongjiao and Gu Diao turned on one another over the fish. As both men tried to capture the Silver-Sand Carp King, a black-clad Wei Sheng seized it and rescued Chen Dahe, leaving the fish king in his grasp.

• Wei Sheng disguised himself as Lan Yu and persuaded Azure Dragon Hall members to take him to Chu Dongjiao by claiming someone wanted to steal the treasure fish.
• Chu Dongjiao used bound fishermen as living bait, attracting Silver-Sand Carp and catching twenty-five of them in a net.
• Gu Diao arrived with Fish-Dragon Gang members, fought Chu Dongjiao, and both men discovered the Silver-Sand Carp King in the water.
• Gu Diao and Chu Dongjiao agreed to cooperate, using more fishermen as bait so Chu Dongjiao could knock the fish king out of the water for Gu Diao to seize.
• As Gu Diao reached for the fish king, Wei Sheng swept in, rescued Chen Dahe, grabbed the fish by its gills, and landed on the Azure Dragon Hall ship.

Wei Sheng rescued Chen Dahe and two other fishermen, then confronted Azure Dragon Hall’s Chu Dongjiao and Gu Diao for using people as bait. He killed Chu Dongjiao with one punch and gravely wounded Gu Diao, while the Silver-Sand Carp King advanced after eating Chu Dongjiao’s remains.

• Wei Sheng arrived by boat, saved Chen Dahe from the river, and treated his wounds with Golden Body Paste.
• Wei Sheng rescued two more fishermen and learned that Chu Dongjiao and Gu Diao had used people as bait to catch the Silver-Sand Carp King.
• Chu Dongjiao and Gu Diao subdued the fish king, while Chu Dongjiao threatened Wei Sheng and dismissed the fishermen as lowborn bait.
• Wei Sheng struck Chu Dongjiao once, blowing him apart, then wounded Gu Diao as he tried to flee.
• The Silver-Sand Carp King ate Chu Dongjiao’s flesh and blood, grew larger, and advanced beyond Six Refinements.

• The Silver-Sand Carp King evolved, killed the remaining Azure Dragon Hall disciples on the boat, and charged Wei Sheng.
• Wei Sheng used a powerful body-expanding technique to knock the Carp King unconscious with one blow, then carried it and Chen Dahe and his companions back across the water.
• Gu Diao urged the Wind and Cloud Hall experts to flee, while Wei Sheng let them go and traveled downstream with the Carp King.

• After Wei Sheng removed the Carp King's scales and barbels, a stranger emerged from the darkness and warned him not to eat its flesh.

Wei Sheng encountered Gang Leader Yu, who prepared the demonized Silver-Sand Carp King and used its essence blood to help Wei Sheng refine his body. After reaching the sixth gate of Golden Bell Shield, Wei Sheng woke to find Yu gone with most of the fish, though he had left Wei Sheng several treasures and a message.

• Wei Sheng tested the gray-robed fisherman's strength, recognized him as Gang Leader Yu, and bowed to him.
• Gang Leader Yu drained the Carp King's blood, extracted its sinew for Wei Sheng, and prepared a feast from the fish.

• Wei Sheng admired his strengthened Golden Bell Shield, packed his catch, and returned to Black Mountain City after avoiding Azure Dragon Hall members searching near Lost Soul Bay.

• Fang Heting explained True Intention and declared Wei Sheng his sole True Disciple, predicting his future rise.

• Fang Heting celebrated Wei Sheng's talent and vowed to restore the Tianshui Clear Crane Sect, while Wei Sheng left with the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method.

Wei Sheng began training the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method and discovered that the Silver-Sand Carp King Tendon helped him recover between sessions. He attended a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Tower, where Liu Zi'e asked about an incident at Lost Soul Bay, leaving him poised to hear what happened.

• Wei Sheng practiced the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method and realized that his major tendons needed protection from overtraining.
• Wei Sheng cooked and ate the Silver-Sand Carp King Tendon, which restored his strength enough for him to practice again.
• Wei Sheng went to the Drunken Immortal Tower with Lin Wuyang and met Wu Qingman, Head Constable Dong Yue, and Liu Zi'e.
• Wei Sheng ate and drank with the group as they discussed events in Black Mountain City.
• Liu Zi'e asked whether Wei Sheng had heard about what happened at Lost Soul Bay the previous night.

At a banquet, Wei Sheng listened as the guests discussed the Silver-Sand Carp King, the White Lotus Cult’s outbreak in Gaolin City, and Black Mountain’s incoming county commandant. He then used Wu Qingman’s merchant-alliance token to buy tendon-tempering pills and stopped to inspect a remarkable suit of armor.

• Suo Huan and the others discussed Azure Dragon Hall’s failed attempt to capture the Silver-Sand Carp King and speculated about who killed Chu Dongjiao, while Wei Sheng kept quiet about his own involvement.
• Liu Zi'e revealed that the White Lotus Cult had infected much of Gaolin City’s Outer City with Flesh-and-Blood Gu, and said Black Mountain’s new county commandant would arrive soon.
• After the banquet, Wu Qingman gave Wei Sheng a Wu Family Merchant Alliance token that entitled him to a ten-percent discount at its shops.
• Wei Sheng disguised himself and bought two Leopard Fetus Tendon-Renewing Pills for eighteen hundred taels after the discount.
• As Wei Sheng was leaving the shop, he noticed a suit of Hundred Refinements Armor and heard that it could let a seven-refinements expert withstand a blow from a ten-refinements expert.

Wei Sheng sold the Silver-Sand Carp King’s scales to buy Leopard Fetus Sinew-Transforming Pills and went to Fish Scale Pavilion to meet Old Yu. There, he found the second floor open and discovered that Old Yu was offering him access to rare tendon-refining martial arts in exchange for a favor.

• Wei Sheng realized that his tendon-refining practice would consume one Leopard Fetus Sinew-Transforming Pill every five days, leaving him short of money.
• Wei Sheng sold the Silver-Sand Carp King’s scales to Qian Tu at the Wu family shop for five thousand taels and used the money to buy seven pills.
• Wei Sheng disguised himself and went to the Yu Residence to meet Old Yu, where an enormous Azure-Scaled Eagle watched him from the roof of Fish Scale Pavilion.
• Wei Sheng entered the newly opened second floor and found rare tendon-refining manuals, including martial arts associated with other schools.
• Old Yu offered to teach Wei Sheng the manuals, and Wei Sheng asked what the gang leader wanted him to do.

Old Man Yu tasked Wei Sheng with returning a dangerous Flesh-and-Blood Plague Token to the White Lotus Cult’s Bodhisattva Temple, offering three martial arts manuals in exchange. Wei Sheng took two manuals, but learned he had only one month to complete the mission before the Gu inside the token could devour him.

• Old Man Yu revealed that he had swapped the Eldest Master of the Hong Family’s jade token for a Red Lotus Jade Token, and identified the blood-colored token as a Flesh-and-Blood Plague Token containing a potent Gu.
• Old Man Yu ordered Wei Sheng to place the token beneath the Guanyin statue at the Bodhisattva Temple, a White Lotus Cult stronghold guarded by a Ten Refinements expert and many fighters.
• Wei Sheng bargained for three martial arts manuals as payment and selected the Shadow-Following Skill and Great Strength Bull Demon Palm as advance rewards.
• Old Man Yu warned Wei Sheng that the seal on the token would last only a month and that the Gu would devour him if he failed to deliver it in time.

Wei Sheng mastered the Shadow-Following Skill and Great Strength Bull Demon Palm, merging his movement techniques into the Wild Goose Shadow Art and gaining Bull-Demon Palm Force. With four days left before he had to return the Flesh-and-Blood Gu token to Bodhisattva Temple, he set out to pursue old grudges and disguised himself as Sang Qi.

• Wei Sheng practiced martial arts while Wu Qingman learned that the mysterious Silver-Sand Carp King hunter had traded scales at her shop and ordered Shopkeeper Qian to watch for him.
• Wei Sheng merged the Golden Goose Art with the Shadow-Following Skill to create the Wild Goose Shadow Art, which produced four phantom images but rapidly drained his internal force.
• Wei Sheng used the Dao Origin to perfect the Great Strength Bull Demon Palm and comprehend Bull-Demon Palm Force, giving him a palm strike powerful enough to kill someone at Ten Refinements once before exhausting his internal force.
• Wei Sheng decided to use the Flesh-and-Blood Gu token to draw out the White Lotus Envoy and went to find Jiang Liuchuan, who told him he was hunting Sang Qi.
• Wei Sheng learned Sang Qi's appearance, then left the martial arts hall disguised as Sang Qi.

Wei Sheng disguised himself as Sang Qi to draw Black Mountain City's factions into pursuing him to the Bodhisattva Temple. The White Lotus Envoy realized the temple held both his cult's members and the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Token, then rushed inside as fighting broke out.

• Dong Yue and Zhang Tie heard that Sang Qi had been spotted and left to pursue him, while Liu Zi'e and other city factions sent experts after him.
• Wei Sheng fled in disguise, drawing more than fifty pursuers before losing his way and heading toward the Bodhisattva Temple.
• Zhang Tie, Dong Yue, and a small group of powerful pursuers followed Wei Sheng to the temple, where a monk claimed to have caught Sang Qi and found the Grandmaster Secret Cache.
• The White Lotus Envoy feared the pursuers would discover the temple was a White Lotus Cult base and initially stayed outside.
• The Sacred Lotus Fragment in the White Lotus Envoy's sachet glowed, revealing that the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Token was inside the temple, and he rushed in to seize it.

Wei Sheng planted the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Plaque in Bodhisattva Temple and tricked the city’s experts into attacking the White Lotus Cult. The wounded White Lotus Envoy escaped with the plaque, only to face a colossal palm descending from the sky.

• Wei Sheng slipped into Bodhisattva Temple and wedged the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Plaque into the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva’s lotus pedestal.
• Wei Sheng lured the abbot into seizing the plaque, then shouted that the abbot had stolen the Grandmaster Secret Cache as Black Mountain City’s experts stormed the temple.
• Wei Sheng blamed the abbot, drawing the experts into a fight, then called the masked White Lotus Envoy into the fray before vanishing.
• Black Tiger broke the White Lotus Envoy’s mask, and Wei Sheng hid outside the burning temple to wait for him to escape.
• The White Lotus Envoy escaped with the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Plaque and vowed revenge, but a colossal palm descended toward him.

Wei Sheng ambushed and killed the White Lotus Envoy, then discovered a Red Lotus True Intention Diagram among his spoils. After learning that the Thunderclap Martial Arts Hall posed a threat, Wei Sheng acquired new techniques and spent a month training, bringing the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method to beginner proficiency.

• Wei Sheng used Bull-Demon Palm Force to cripple the White Lotus Envoy, then stomped his head apart when he tried to flee.
• Wei Sheng searched the corpse and found the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Token, pills, money, the Old Mother Thinks of You Palm, and a Red Lotus True Intention Diagram that expelled impurities from his body.
• Jiang Liuchuan told Wei Sheng that the White Lotus Cult had been wiped out and warned him to be careful around disciples of the Thunderclap Martial Arts Hall.
• Wei Sheng returned the Flesh-and-Blood Gu Token to Old Yu and chose the Thunderbolt Hand, then asked Fang Heting for the Breath Concealment Art.
• Wei Sheng trained by day and night for a month, raising the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method to beginner proficiency.

Wei Sheng perfected the Clear-Crane Tendon-Refining Method and the Breath Concealment Art, then attended the banquet where Fang Heting formally named him the White Crane Martial Arts Hall’s sole true disciple. As Fang Heting announced the appointment, a mocking voice interrupted the gathering.

• Wei Sheng completed the ninth refinement, gaining twenty-one thousand jin of strength, and hid his cultivation at the peak of six refinements with the perfected Breath Concealment Art.
• Fang Heting told his personal disciples that he had chosen Wei Sheng as his true disciple and ordered Wu Qingman to arrange a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Tower.
• Jiang Liuchuan warned Fang Heting that publicly announcing Wei Sheng’s status could make him a target, but Fang Heting dismissed the concern.
• News of Wei Sheng’s appointment spread through Black Mountain City, and Hong Chengyuan connected Wei Sheng to his suspicions about Hong Chengdu’s death.
• Wei Sheng arrived at the banquet, greeted the gathered guests, and offered tea to Fang Heting as part of the formal apprenticeship ceremony.
• Fang Heting began announcing Wei Sheng as his sole true disciple, but a mocking voice interrupted him from outside the hall.

Lei Ben and Wen Tailai disrupted the White Crane Martial Arts Hall’s banquet, and Wen defeated the injured Jiang Liuchuan before challenging Wei Sheng. Wei Sheng accepted and, after driving Wen back with one strike, agreed to fight using the White Crane Fist; he then revealed a massive, blue-black transformation as he launched his next attack.

• Lei Ben arrived uninvited with Wen Tailai and the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School disciples, then watched as Wen challenged Jiang Liuchuan to their long-standing wagered duel.
• Wen exploited Jiang Liuchuan’s injuries from the Bodhisattva Temple battle, defeated him, and mocked the White Crane Martial Arts Hall.
• Wen challenged Wei Sheng, and Fang Heting accepted on his disciple’s behalf; Wei promised to defeat Wen within three moves.
• Wei sent Wen staggering with a single knife-hand strike, then agreed to use the White Crane Fist after Wen questioned whether he had used the hall’s martial arts.
• Wei’s body expanded to two meters and turned blue-black as he brought a powerful palm down toward Wen.

Wei Sheng defeated Wen Tailai in three moves after revealing his Flesh Body Palace, then received gifts from his fellow disciples and Fang Heting. After moving plans and practicing the Flood Dragon Tendon Refinement Method, he was summoned to learn the White Crane Sect’s true inheritance.

• Wei Sheng used his Flesh Body Palace and White Crane Fist to defeat Wen Tailai in three moves, humiliating the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School.
• Lei Ben led the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School away, while other guests congratulated Fang Heting and tried to recruit or befriend Wei Sheng.
• One-Ear and the Black Wind Stronghold leaders discussed stealing the Spirit Flood Dragon Ganoderma from the Lin Family’s Precious Ganoderma Hall to help Second Brother reach Twelve Refinements.
• Wei Sheng considered how to improve his major tendons, then accepted a residence deed from Du Zhongxing, Refining Edge from Jiang Liuchuan, and other gifts from his fellow disciples.
• Wei Sheng planned to move into the Inner City residence with Wei He, and Fang Heting gave him two profitable businesses to manage.
• Fang Heting told Wei Sheng that, as the White Crane Sect’s sole True Disciple, he was ready to learn the Clear Crane Lineage’s true inheritance.
