After a pill-refining woman kicked Ling Yi down the steps and left him near death, his long-awaited Devouring System awakened and gave him the Life Devouring entry. Ling Yi recovered some strength by drawing life energy from nearby grass and realized Pill Peak offered plenty of potential sources, though he did not know what the energy could do beyond healing.

• A red-dressed alchemist kicked Ling Yi after her pill refinement failed, leaving him badly injured and unable to move.
• Ling Yi recalled his ten years as an unpromising menial disciple on Mystic Heaven Sect’s Pill Peak and despaired that he had received no system.
• As Ling Yi neared death, the Devouring System appeared and he drew the Life Devouring entry.
• The entry automatically activated, gathering green wisps of life energy from plants within a hundred meters and easing Ling Yi’s injuries.
• Ling Yi noticed that the surrounding grass had wilted and reasoned that Pill Peak’s plentiful plants could provide more life energy, though its other effects remained unknown.

Ling Yi tested how Life Devouring strengthened and healed his body, then returned to clean the pill furnaces. The woman in red attacked him again, leaving him injured and determined to avenge himself if he survived.

• Ling Yi devoured the life energy of plants and trees, greatly increasing his strength and speed as he considered the danger posed by the sect's war and his own weakness.
• Ling Yi returned to Pill Peak after his communication token summoned him to clean furnaces No. 35 and No. 36.

• Ling Yi discovered that his body could heal, but he still cleaned the pill furnaces to avoid punishment.

After learning that Qin Yuran had beaten him because her pill refinements failed, Ling Yi resolved to grow stronger and avoid provoking her powerful father, Qin Hao. When he returned to his room and discovered his Spirit Stones had been stolen by his fellow disciples, he secretly tested his Life Devouring ability on the bald man who had taken them.

• Cheng Little Tiger told Ling Yi that Qin Yuran often injured or killed menial disciples when her pill refinements failed, and that her father Qin Hao was a Golden Core expert.
• Ling Yi decided to avoid Qin Yuran and become stronger before challenging her, since Qin Hao backed her.
• Ling Yi returned to the dormitory and found his room ransacked and his saved Spirit Stones missing.
• A bald disciple admitted that he and the others had taken Ling Yi's Spirit Stones, claiming they were keeping them safe because Ling Yi was destined to die.
• Ling Yi used Life Devouring on the bald disciple and absorbed a small amount of his life energy, planning to test the ability again.

Ling Yi used Life Devouring to drain seventeen courtyard residents, beat them, and take their Spirit Stones. When his token sounded again that night, he went to Pill Peak and discovered Qin Yuran was using the two pill rooms he was responsible for.

• Ling Yi discovered Life Devouring had no cooldown on humans and drained life energy from the bald man and sixteen others.
• Ling Yi knocked the bald man unconscious, slapped the others, and forced all seventeen to hand over their Spirit Stones.
• Ling Yi took thirty-seven Spirit Stones and learned Life Devouring had no effect on the inanimate stones.
• Ling Yi's token sounded an alarm, so he went to Pill Peak and saw Qin Yuran enter pill refinement room No. 35 after leaving No. 36.

Ling Yi fled the pill furnaces to avoid Qin Yuran and went to Beast Gorge to devour the life energy of wild creatures so he could grow stronger. At the gorge’s outskirts, he drained a hidden creature until a wounded two-tailed white fox emerged, revealing that it could communicate telepathically.

• Ling Yi decided to avoid Qin Yuran and risk the steward’s punishment rather than expose his secret by returning to clean the pill furnaces.

• A wounded two-tailed white fox emerged from the grass and condemned humans in a shrill voice inside Ling Yi’s mind.

Ling Yi stole life energy from a powerful old willow, used it to save the dying white fox, and fled back toward the pill refinement room. Qin Yuran spotted him and demanded to know how he had survived her attack, while Ling Yi prepared to fight back.

• Ling Yi drained the thousand-year-old willow's Life Origin, realized it was a powerful demon, and carried the wounded white fox away.
• The white fox warned Ling Yi that her death would leave a Soul Imprint on him, so he used the Devouring entry to send life energy into her and then fled.
• Ling Yi returned near the pill refinement room and found Qin Yuran still waiting there.
• Qin Yuran used her Spiritual Sense to detect Ling Yi, threatened him with a flying sword, and questioned how he had survived her attack.
• Ling Yi claimed he had found a treasure in Beast Gorge and reached into his robes.

• Qin Yuran reached for Ling Yi's supposed healing treasure, and he claimed it came from a secret realm hidden inside a thousand-year-old willow tree near Beast Gorge.
• Ling Yi said he alone knew how to enter the secret realm and warned Qin Yuran that killing him would not get her the treasure.
• Ling Yi demanded that Qin Yuran help him enter the inner sect within a year, but she refused because he lacked the cultivation and Spiritual Root to qualify.
• Ling Yi instead demanded ten years of cultivation support, while Qin Yuran offered techniques and pills for only one month.
• Ling Yi walked away after insisting on ten years, and Qin Yuran held back from killing him so she could verify his story at Beast Gorge.
• Ling Yi called back that Qin Yuran should clean out the pill furnace or their deal would change if he was punished.

Ling Yi discovered a powerful creature in Forest Valley Lake and absorbed a huge amount of its life energy, dramatically increasing his strength. When he realized the creature had not fled, he used Life Devouring to pull four more bursts of energy from it before it escaped.

• Ling Yi avoided Beast Gorge and secretly strengthened himself by draining the old trees and other plants in Forest Valley.
• Ling Yi found a huge green ball of life energy rising from Forest Valley Lake and absorbed it, increasing his strength several times over.
• Ling Yi estimated the creature beneath the lake was at least a Fifth Tier Demonic Beast and tried to target it again, but initially thought it had fled.
• Ling Yi reactivated Life Devouring and pulled five green balls of life energy from the lake creature before it escaped.

Ling Yi healed the gravely wounded Qin Yuran after draining Life Origin from twenty old pines, then confronted her about their deal. After crushing her flying sword and revealing his growing strength, he demanded a cultivation technique and resources in exchange for the secret realm’s location, leaving Qin Yuran to consider his terms.

• Ling Yi suspected his system had hidden settings after draining a large amount of Life Origin from a powerful lake demon, who cursed him and worried that her delayed breakthrough would let a rival advance first.
• Ling Yi found Qin Yuran badly wounded at the alchemy rooms and decided to save her because he needed her help with cultivation and valued her influence.

Qin Yuran confronted Ling Yi over his rapid growth and their lack of trust, while Ling Yi proposed a one-year truce and a revised deal. He offered to help Qin Yuran defeat Qin Ya in exchange for cultivation techniques and resources, leaving Qin Yuran intrigued by his promise.

• Qin Yuran explained that she had secretly investigated the willow tree demon, the possible secret realm, and Ling Yi during her half-month absence.
• Qin Yuran objected that Ling Yi was growing too quickly, and Ling Yi told her to either trust him and cooperate or fight him to the death.
• Qin Yuran erupted in anger and revealed that Qin Ya, her father's adopted daughter, had always surpassed her in cultivation and other skills.
• Ling Yi proposed that they agree not to harm each other for a year and begin cooperating the next day, with Qin Yuran supplying techniques and resources.
• Ling Yi promised to use his immortal treasure to help Qin Yuran defeat Qin Ya, and Qin Yuran asked if he truly had a way.

Ling Yi learned the basics of immortal cultivation and used his strengthened spiritual root to reach the First Layer of Qi Refining. He discovered that his spiritual field was nearly impossible to expand, leaving his future cultivation in doubt.

• Qin Yuran gave Ling Yi a storage bag containing cultivation techniques and a storage ring holding cultivation resources.
• Ling Yi studied jade slips explaining spiritual roots, spiritual fields, and the Qi Refining Art.
• Ling Yi cultivated successfully and found that his spiritual root had become a luxuriant Heavenly Spiritual Root.
• Ling Yi discovered that his spiritual field was extraordinarily hard and could barely expand, preventing him from advancing to the Second Layer of Qi Refining.
• Ling Yi checked his system interface and saw that it listed his cultivation as the First Layer of Qi Refining and his Life Devouring entry.

Ling Yi reached the first layer of Qi Refining and accepted Qin Yuran’s account of Qin Ya, concluding that Qin Ya was likely a transmigrator with a system that let her copy and surpass Qin Yuran. He warned Qin Yuran that Qin Hao’s unusual treatment of Qin Ya could have a deeper cause, leaving Qin Yuran unsure what to do.

• Ling Yi opened Qin Yuran’s storage ring, found its spirit stones and treasures, and asked her to explain Qin Ya.

• Qin Yuran tried to confront Qin Hao, but Ling Yi stopped her and suggested Qin Ya’s treasure might influence others or that Qin Hao’s relationship with her was improper.
• Qin Yuran asked Ling Yi what she should do, and he hesitated over whether to make a move against someone who might be the protagonist.

Ling Yi instructed Qin Yuran to stop cultivating, act coldly toward her family, and pretend to have given up for a month so he could test Qin Ya’s suspected immortal treasure. Back in his dormitory, he discovered that his spiritual power replenished itself from stored life energy, letting him use Sword Control despite his low cultivation level.

• Ling Yi told Qin Yuran to avoid cultivating and treat her family coldly while watching Qin Ya’s reactions, and Qin Yuran agreed to follow his plan for a month.
• Ling Yi left Qin Yuran and returned to his dormitory, planning to explore Forest Valley at night and examine his entry’s changes.
• Ling Yi studied the Sword Control Technique and found that he could make his sword float despite being only at the First Layer of Qi Refining.
• Ling Yi realized his spiritual power was automatically replenished by stored life energy whenever he used it.

Ling Yi stored life energy in a new Life Field, mastered several spirit formations, and used Sword Control to explore Beast Gorge. When he activated his entry on Qin Ya, he absorbed an enormous golden energy that dramatically strengthened him, then overheard Qin Ya and Qin Yuran arguing about the upcoming sect competition.

• Ling Yi discovered that his Life Field stored excess life energy and used it to power Sword Control, though he had only enough energy for half an hour of flight.
• Ling Yi studied the Thunder and Light Spirit Formations and the other formations in Qin Yuran's jade slip, comprehending all seven in a day.
• Ling Yi searched the central lake for the Fifth Tier great demon, then flew over Beast Gorge and devoured the creatures within range, finding little because the trial grounds had already been cleared.
• Ling Yi activated his entry on Qin Ya from a thousand meters away and absorbed a huge golden ball of light that strengthened his body by at least a hundredfold.
• Qin Ya urged Qin Yuran to do well in the coming sect competition and denied responsibility for the senior brothers' behavior, and Qin Yuran told her to scram.

Ling Yi drained Qin Ya’s immortal treasure of its energy, silencing her system and lifting its influence over Qin Yuran. After admitting his secret-realm story was a lie, Ling Yi returned to his routine and waited for his system’s next monthly entry draw.

• Ling Yi used his Devouring Entries to absorb the golden and green life energy from Qin Ya, causing her system to fall silent.
• Qin Ya panicked when her system stopped working and fled, while Qin Yuran realized Ling Yi had affected Qin Ya’s immortal treasure.
• Ling Yi admitted that the secret realm was made up, and Qin Yuran asked him to destroy Qin Ya’s treasure, but he refused because it was useful to him.
• Qin Yuran left to watch the fallout, and Ling Yi returned to his dormitory and spent the next dozen days studying and testing his life energy.
• Ling Yi checked his system interface and anticipated drawing a new Devouring Entry the next day.

Ling Yi tested his new Insight Devouring entry by stealing Xu Hengheng’s alchemy knowledge, leaving the arrogant alchemist unable to make pills. He agreed to become Qin Yuran’s attendant, then learned the Heavenly Mysterious Sect faced a potentially disastrous war and was asked to help it survive.

• Ling Yi drew the Insight Devouring entry and used it on Xu Hengheng, gaining the second-pin alchemist’s knowledge while leaving Xu Hengheng unable to remember any alchemy recipes.
• Ling Yi avoided confronting Xu Hengheng and later cleaned the pill furnace after Xu Hengheng emerged from the alchemy room in despair.

• Qin Yuran asked Ling Yi to use his immortal treasure to help the Heavenly Mysterious Sect through the crisis, but Ling Yi questioned whether he had any reason to help.

Ling Yi asked Qin Yuran to become the Heavenly Mysterious Sect’s sect master so he could control the sect from behind the scenes, and she explained that she could only inherit the position by becoming the Holy Son and surviving three deadly conditions. Qin Yuran said she could apply after the sect competition, while Ling Yi promised to protect her.

• Ling Yi proposed that Qin Yuran become the Heavenly Mysterious Sect’s sect master, offering her lifelong protection in exchange for her help.
• Qin Yuran explained that placing in the sect competition’s top ten would let her apply to become the Holy Son, the only person eligible to inherit the sect master position.
• Qin Yuran described the Holy Son’s three requirements: complete a sect master’s approved task, kill at least ten demons and survive three months in the Demon-Sealing Secret Realm, then live outside the sect for a year after their identity was announced.
• Qin Yuran revealed that most previous Holy Son candidates had been killed by the sect master, who was the person least likely to want a candidate to inherit the position.
• Qin Yuran said she could apply to become the Holy Son after the competition, and Ling Yi promised to keep her alive but declined to seek the title himself.

Ling Yi devoured the life energy of a willow tree demon clone and converted it into Spiritual Power, helping Qin Yuran reach the Golden Core Realm. After arranging for her to conceal his aid at the sect competition, he went with her to her cave abode, where Senior Brother Zhao saw them enter and decided to tell her master.

• Ling Yi used Insight Devouring on the willow tree demon and learned its Wansheng Clone Method was a powerful clone-making Divine Ability.

• Qin Yuran brought Ling Yi to her cave abode as her attendant, leaving Senior Brother Zhao outside; he suspected their relationship and decided to inform her master.
