Chapter Summaries

Ning Bei attended his Spirit Awakening Ceremony at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where a strange nine-level tower appeared in his hand. The tower’s arrival also seemed to have displaced the enormous Pill Pagoda from the Dou Qi Continent, leaving its three leaders baffled.

• Ning Tao woke Ning Bei and escorted him to the Council Hall, where Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fan, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Ning Bei’s mother awaited him.
• Ning Fengzhi told Ning Bei to stand in the middle of the hall so Ning Fan could awaken his Martial Soul.
• Ning Fan channeled Soul Power into Ning Bei, and a black-and-yellow nine-level tower appeared in Ning Bei’s hand.
• Ning Fengzhi and the others wondered why the tower was yellow and whether it was a Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
• On the Dou Qi Continent, Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Tian Leizi found the Pill Pagoda missing and suspected the Soul Hall had taken it.

Ning Bei awakened the unusual Pill Pagoda Martial Soul and displayed Innate Full Soul Power, prompting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to keep his talent secret. After studying the sect’s records, he chose the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros for his first Spirit Ring, and his family prepared to send him to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.

• Ning Bei identified his Martial Soul as the Pill Pagoda, which could produce elixirs, and Ning Fan tested him for Innate Soul Power.
• Ning Bei’s test showed Innate Full Soul Power, so Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin and Gu Rong to keep the news secret.
• Ning Fengzhi told Ning Bei to study the Soul Beast Illustrated Book and planned for Chen Xin to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest the next day.
• Ning Bei visited the Library and chose the Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros as his first Spirit Ring, hoping it would let his Pill Pagoda produce strength-type elixirs.
• Ning Bei returned home for dinner, learned his elder brother had gone back to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and felt warmth at his family’s care.

Ning Bei traveled with Chen Xin to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his first spirit ring and absorbed a Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros’s ring for his Pill Pagoda. He completed the absorption, and Chen Xin asked him what his new Soul Skill did.

• Ning Bei worried about absorbing his first spirit ring, then received a twenty-cubic-meter Storage Necklace from Ning's Mother before departing with Chen Xin.
• Ning Bei and Chen Xin flew to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Chen Xin explained how to find Spirit Devouring Rhinoceroses and estimate their ages by their tails.
• Ning Bei chose a Spirit Devouring Rhinoceros nearly four hundred years old, and Chen Xin knocked it unconscious and handed Ning Bei a dagger.
• After preparing himself, Ning Bei killed the rhinoceros and absorbed its yellow spirit ring into his Pill Pagoda.
• Ning Bei finished absorbing the ring, and Chen Xin asked what his new Soul Skill was like.

After Ning Bei absorbed his first spirit ring, he discovered that his Pill Pagoda could produce several kinds of pills and seemed to attract Soul Beasts. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the elders prepared to test the Martial Soul’s effect on a Red Cloud Elk.

• Ning Bei used his First Spirit Skill to produce pills that restored Soul Power, healed injuries, and temporarily increased strength, and Chen Xin tested their effects.
• A wave of Soul Beasts gathered around Ning Bei’s Pill Pagoda, and Chen Xin flew him out of the Star Dou Great Forest after the beasts turned violent when Ning Bei put it away.
• Chen Xin and Ning Bei returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and told Ning Fengzhi about the pills and the Soul Beasts’ reaction.
• Chen Xin brought back a hundred-year Red Cloud Elk, and Ning Bei released his Pill Pagoda beside it so the elders could observe what happened.

Ning Bei discovered that his Pill Pagoda's alchemy fragrance could increase soul beasts' cultivation and that its levels contained spaces capable of holding living creatures. After testing its limits, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect turned to Ning Bei's cultivation and elixir production, which brought the sect income while disrupting ordinary Support Soul Masters' work.

• The Red Cloud Elk sniffed Ning Bei's Pill Pagoda, fell asleep, and gained a small amount of cultivation, leading Ning Bei to explain that its alchemy fragrance benefited soul beasts.
• Ning Bei demonstrated that he could store the sleeping Red Cloud Elk in the Pill Pagoda's independent space and release it again.
• Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong arranged tests with different soul beasts, finding that the Pill Pagoda strongly benefited century-old beasts but had little effect on those over fifteen hundred years old.
• Ning Bei and the others decided to test the Pill Pagoda again after he obtained his Second Spirit Ring, while he focused on cultivating and making Elixirs.
• Ning Fengzhi sold Ning Bei's Elixirs through the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce, earning praise from mercenaries and causing ordinary Support Soul Masters to struggle to find teams.

After a month of diligent cultivation, Ning Bei reached Level 13 and persuaded Gu Rong to take him and Ning Tao out to Seven Treasure City. At the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce auction, Ning Bei bought an evening gown for his mother, and the auction continued.

• Ning Bei checked that the Red Cloud Elk had grown to 130 years of cultivation while his own Soul Power reached Level 13.
• Ning Bei asked Gu Rong to take him outside, and Gu Rong agreed on the condition that he stay close.
• Ning Bei, Ning Tao, and Gu Rong explored Seven Treasure City before heading to the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce auction.
• The auctioneer Ya Fei opened the bidding with an evening gown crafted by Mei Te Si.
• Ning Bei bid 1200 Gold Soul Coins and won the evening gown for his mother.

Ning Bei attended an auction with Gu Rong and bought ten-thousand-year-old Whale Rubber after recognizing its value for strengthening the body. The Pill Pagoda reacted strongly to an unidentified herb, so Ning Bei had Gu Rong secure it for 3,000 Gold Soul Coins.

• Gu Rong praised Ning Bei for buying an evening dress for his mother and hinted that he wanted a gift too.
• The auctioned Elixirs sold for 600 Gold Soul Coins, and Ning Bei watched the bidding without revealing that he had made them.
• Ning Bei bid 3,000 Gold Soul Coins for the Whale Rubber, explaining that it had uses beyond those the bidders expected.
• The Pill Pagoda glowed brightly when Ning Bei examined the unidentified herb, and Gu Rong knocked out the maid in the private room.
• Gu Rong bid 3,000 Gold Soul Coins for the herb, and Ning Bei won it as the auction ended.

Ning Bei discovered that the Pill Pagoda could identify and cultivate herbs, then tested the strength-enhancing effects of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. Two years later, at Level 20 and physically stronger, he learned Qian Xunji had died and began planning how to prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s future destruction.

• Ning Bei identified the auction herb as Snake Heart Grass and explained that the Pill Pagoda could increase its age and medicinal effects, so Ning Fengzhi warned him to keep that ability secret.
• Ning Bei drank a small amount of Whale Rubber, cultivated through its effects, and asked Ning Fengzhi to obtain more for long-term use.
• Over two years, Ning Bei reached Soul Power Level 20 and gained physical strength comparable to an Intermediate Soul Grandmaster after a year of consuming Whale Rubber.
• Ning Bei realized Ning Rongrong would be born in ten months and that Tang Hao’s attack on Qian Xunji was approaching.
• News spread that Tang Hao had gravely injured and killed Qian Xunji, prompting Ning Bei to plan how to change the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s fate.

Ning Bei traveled with Gu Rong to the Star Dou Great Forest and obtained his Second Spirit Ring from a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. He discovered that his new soul skill produced Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, which could raise the Innate Soul Power of some young Soul Scholars.

• Ning Bei asked Ning Fengzhi for permission to obtain his Second Spirit Ring, and Ning Fengzhi assigned Gu Rong to escort him.
• Ning Bei and Gu Rong searched the Star Dou Great Forest for two days before finding a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent just under a thousand years old fighting a Black Water Python.
• Gu Rong subdued the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and Ning Bei killed it and absorbed its Spirit Ring while Gu Rong guarded him from approaching spirit beasts.
• After fleeing the gathered spirit beasts, Ning Bei used his second soul skill to produce Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and explained its effects to Gu Rong.

Ning Bei revealed the effects of his second spirit skill’s pills and his External Soul Bone to Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi, who recognized their value to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As the Pill Pagoda’s alchemy fragrance grew stronger with Ning Bei’s cultivation, he spent the next six months raising two Soul Beasts as battle companions while preparing for a future trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Ning Bei explained that his pills could boost Soul Power, heal injuries with stackable effects, protect meridians, and remove common poisons, then showed Gu Rong his External Soul Bone wings.
• Gu Rong carried Ning Bei back to the sect, where he told Ning Fengzhi about the new spirit skill and External Soul Bone; Ning Fengzhi warned Ning Bei to keep both secret.
• Ning Bei reported that he could make ten Second Grade Pills or nearly fifty First Grade Pills each day, and Ning Fengzhi arranged tests of the Pill Pagoda’s alchemy fragrance on captured Soul Beasts.
• After two weeks of tests, the sect found that the fragrance strongly attracted Soul Beasts around five thousand years old and could help them gain two years of cultivation daily.
• Over the following six months, Ning Bei nurtured a Hurricane Hunting Falcon to four hundred and fifty years and a Golden Armor Battle Bear to eight hundred and sixty years, forming close bonds with both.

Ning Bei met Xue Qinghe, who agreed to help him enroll at the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Academy. After convincing Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo that he could hide his Martial Soul’s true abilities, Ning Bei gained their permission to leave the sect for school.

• Ning Fengzhi introduced Ning Bei to the Heaven Dou Empire’s First Prince, Xue Qinghe, who was seeking to become Ning Fengzhi’s disciple.
• Ning Bei decided to attend the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Academy so he could meet Dugu Yan and approach Dugu Bo about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Ning Bei asked Xue Qinghe to arrange his enrollment, and Xue Qinghe agreed, saying he would have to wait until the next enrollment period in half a year.
• Ning Fengzhi summoned Ning Bei and objected to him attending the academy because his Martial Soul’s abilities must remain secret.
• Ning Bei revealed that he could present his Martial Soul as a Summoning Tower and conceal its true function, persuading Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo to let him attend the academy.

Ning Bei welcomed his baby sister Ning Rongrong and became the person who could reliably soothe her. When it was time for him to enroll at the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy, he traveled to Heaven Dou City with Ning Tao and was greeted by Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.

• Ning Rongrong was born safely, and Ning Fengzhi named her Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Bei soothed the crying baby with Meridian Protecting Pills, and she quieted in his arms while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo struggled to calm her.
• Ning Rongrong grew close to Ning Bei, who visited her daily and became a doting older brother.
• Ning Bei said farewell to his family and set out for the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy with Ning Tao.
• Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, welcomed Ning Bei to Heaven Dou City and offered to take him to eat before introducing him to the principal.

Ning Bei joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy and met Dugu Yan before accepting Yu Tianheng’s challenge to a Soul Battle. He revealed that his Martial Soul could summon soul beasts, leaving Yu Tianheng and the watching students stunned.

• Qian Renxue brought Ning Bei to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where Principal Wei Xian arranged his admission to the third-year class.
• Ning Bei introduced himself to the class, sat beside Dugu Yan, and told her he knew a little about detoxification.
• After class, Yu Tianheng challenged Ning Bei to a Soul Battle, and Ning Bei accepted.
• Ning Bei summoned the Pill Pagoda, the Hurricane Hunting Falcon, and the Golden Armor Battle Bear in the arena.
• Yu Tianheng protested that Ning Bei was breaking the rules, and Ning Bei explained that his Martial Soul let him summon soul beasts after absorbing Spirit Rings.

Ning Bei defeated Yu Tianheng in a Soul Battle using his Golden Armor Battle Bear, then settled into academy life and drew the attention of Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue. A week later, he returned to Seven Treasure City, reunited with Ning Rongrong, and gave Ning Fengzhi the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid he had refined.

• Ning Bei sent his Golden Armor Battle Bear to fight Yu Tianheng, whose Thunder Claw could not break through its Guardian Armor, and won after stopping its Earth Splitting Claw just before it struck Yu Tianheng.
• Yu Tianheng accepted his defeat and took Ning Bei out to eat, while Dugu Yan watched Ning Bei with interest.
• Qian Renxue heard about Ning Bei's Summoning Tower and decided he was still worth winning over, and Dugu Yan began approaching him at school.
• Ning Bei returned to Seven Treasure City a week later, happily reunited with Ning Rongrong, and gave Ning Fengzhi the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid he had refined.

After Dugu Yan’s second Spirit Ring strengthened her poison, she learned that her Jade Scale Snake toxins threatened her life. Ning Bei offered to help and brought her to meet Dugu Bo, who confronted him about his intentions.

• Ning Bei continued hiding his true Soul Power level while Yu Tianheng repeatedly challenged his soul beasts and lost.
• Dugu Yan returned from obtaining a Second Spirit Ring from a 700-year-old Purple Scale Rattlesnake and told Ning Bei that her grandfather had revealed the danger of her family’s toxins.
• Ning Bei asked about Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden and claimed he might have ways to resolve Dugu Yan’s toxins.
• Dugu Yan took Ning Bei to meet Dugu Bo near Sunset Forest, where Dugu Bo pressured Ning Bei and demanded to know his intentions.
• Ning Bei told Dugu Bo that he had come because he was worried about the toxins in Dugu Yan’s Martial Soul.

Ning Bei explained three ways to address Dugu Yan’s poison and proposed using a Ten Thousand Year limb Spirit Bone, offering to trade herbs from Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden for one. Dugu Bo took Ning Bei to his hidden garden in Sunset Forest, where Ning Bei used his Pill Pagoda to ward off the Poison Mist.

• Ning Bei revealed that he was Ning Fengzhi’s son and the grandson of Sword and Bone, easing Dugu Bo’s suspicion but not his concern about Dugu Yan’s poison.
• Ning Bei proposed dispersing Dugu Yan’s poison, condensing it into a Poison Pill, or forcing it into a Spirit Bone; Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan favored the third method.
• Ning Bei advised them to seek a Ten Thousand Year limb Spirit Bone, and offered to trade for medicinal herbs from Dugu Bo’s garden in return for the sect’s help obtaining one.
• Dugu Bo flew Ning Bei to his valley in Sunset Forest while Dugu Yan was left behind, and one of Ning Bei’s Soul Saint guards set off toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Bei refused Dugu Bo’s Poison Pill and used his Pill Pagoda to make the Poison Mist part around him.

Ning Bei collected immortal herbs from Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden and agreed to trade them for a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone for Dugu Yanyan. Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he revealed that Aromatic Silk Beauty could evolve the sect’s Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

• Ning Bei passed through Dugu Bo’s Poison Mist unharmed and explained that his Martial Soul resisted toxins.
• Ning Bei gathered several immortal herbs from Dugu Bo’s medicinal garden, including Aromatic Silk Beauty, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, and Infernal Delicate Apricot.
• Ning Bei agreed to ask Ning Fengzhi for a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone for Dugu Yanyan, and Dugu Bo decided to accompany him to the sect.
• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo arrived at the valley, and Ning Bei explained that he had come to collect herbs rather than being captured.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to retrieve a Spirit Bone for Dugu Bo, and the group returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Bei showed Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Gu Rong several herbs and revealed that Aromatic Silk Beauty could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Bei gave Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluo Immortal Herbs, helping Ning Fengzhi’s Martial Soul evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and greatly strengthening the others. He then accompanied Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin to deliver a fifty-thousand-year Spirit Bone to Dugu Bo.

• Ning Bei explained that he had planted seeds from the Aromatic Silk Beauty in the Pill Pagoda, so Ning Fengzhi agreed to try the herb and save a future plant for Ning Rongrong.
• Ning Bei gave Gu Rong the Netherworld Ghost Orchid and Chen Xin the Primal Chaos Grass, and the three men went into seclusion to absorb their herbs.
• Ning Bei visited his mother and Ning Rongrong, gave his mother a Ninth Grade Immortal Ganoderma, and played with Rongrong.
• After a day of seclusion, Gu Rong reached Soul Power Level 95, Chen Xin’s sword strength increased, and Ning Fengzhi revealed that his Martial Soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
• Ning Bei said he would consume his own Immortal Herb after delivering a Spirit Bone to Dugu Bo, so Ning Fengzhi brought him and Chen Xin to Sunset Forest.
• Ning Fengzhi gave Dugu Bo a fifty-thousand-year Exploding Fire Lizard Right Arm Bone, and Dugu Bo gratefully promised to help them in the future.

Ning Fengzhi won Dugu Bo over as an honorary elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with a seventy-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone. Ning Bei tempered his body in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and identified herbs for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan before the group considered the herbs' powerful effects.

• Ning Fengzhi offered Dugu Bo a seventy-thousand-year-old Mandala Snake Right Leg Bone, and Dugu Bo agreed to become an honorary elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
• Ning Bei followed Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, swallowed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, and entered the spring to cultivate.
• Dugu Bo helped Dugu Yan absorb a fifty-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone, which raised her Soul Power to level twenty-five.
• Ning Bei emerged from the spring after absorbing the herbs' medicinal power, explained how they had tempered his body, and dressed after Dugu Yan saw him unclothed.
• Ning Bei gave Dugu Bo the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss and recommended the Earth Dragon Golden Melon for Dugu Yan, explaining their effects.

Ning Bei and Dugu Yan absorbed Immortal Herbs, gaining stronger abilities and reaching Soul Power Level 30. After Ning Bei returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to deliver the overdue Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Ning Fengzhi asked what benefits he had gained.

• Dugu Yan absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon while Ning Bei used the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen his Spiritual Power.
• After three days, Ning Bei finished refining the dew and began absorbing the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid while Dugu Yan continued her cultivation.
• Dugu Yan awakened on the seventh day with her Martial Soul transformed into the Jade Scale Flood Dragon and her Soul Power at Level 30.
• Ning Bei finished absorbing the orchid two days later, reached Level 30, and joked with Dugu Yan after she fell asleep beside him.
