• Dingxian accused Ling Yi of threatening Wang Yuyan and demanded that he release her, but Wang Yuyan denied being held against her will.

As Miejue, Fangzheng, and Song Yuanqiao faced the consequences of the Great Ming court’s betrayal, Ling Yi left to attend Liu Zhengfeng’s hand-washing ceremony and encountered Ren Woxing’s group blocking his way.

• Ling Yi’s examination of Bodhi’s Remains revealed Bodhi’s incomplete cultivation method, which could restore limbs and prolong life by absorbing other people’s essence, Qi, and spirit.

• Jin Xiangyu greeted Ling Yi and led him toward the inn’s fourth floor, while Hei Zun stayed behind to look around.

• Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng decided to have Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian carry out a two-pronged plan to capture Wang Yuyan and attack Ling Yi, possibly with poison.
• Ling Yi’s cultivation, blood Qi, physique, and spirit had reached formidable levels, making Ouyang Feng’s plan to exploit the Heaven-Changing Great Method’s activation requirement dangerously misguided.

Ling Yi considered Jin Xiangyu’s request to join the Good and Evil House and gave her three days to meet its requirement by saving 281 lives. Back in the Prison Space, he learned of Zhang Sanfeng’s emergence from seclusion and discussed the farmland’s future before Jin Xiangyu tried to enlist Hei Zun’s help.

• Jin Xiangyu asked to join the Good and Evil House, and Ling Yi told her that her Good and Evil Value meant she had to save 281 lives first.

• Hei Zun accepted Jin Xiangyu’s offer of Agarwood wine in exchange for helping her join the Good and Evil House.
• Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng sent Deng Baichuan to poison the inn’s well and Gongye Qian to release Earthworm Snakes in Ling Yi’s room.
• Ling Yi revived Jin Xiangyu after the snakes killed her, and she told him Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng had fled after failing to find him.
• Ling Yi found Hei Zun asleep among wine jars and discovered that hundreds of people at the Dragon Gate Inn had died from the poison.
• Hei Zun refused Ling Yi’s order to capture Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng, so Ling Yi froze him and sent him to the Prison Space as punishment.

Zhang Sanfeng, Li Xunhuan, and Lin Shiyin arrived at the Dragon Gate Inn, where Ling Yi had just used the Bodhi Divine Skill to save hundreds of people. Ling Yi released Ah Fei and agreed to release Song Qingshu, while Zhang Sanfeng began explaining the eastern seas and Di Shitian.

On his leisurely journey toward Wuliang Cave, he spotted Ye Erniang carrying an infant and secretly followed her to learn what she would do.

• Zhang Sanfeng told Ling Yi that Di Shitian had tried to control his mind and wanted him to help seize Great Ming’s Jianghu, and Ling Yi recognized that Zhang had come to sound him out.
• Ling Yi left Jin Xiangyu to run the Good and Evil House, then traveled to Gusu City with Wang Yuyan and tasked her with managing its Southern Song operations.
• A storyteller in Gusu City publicized the Good and Evil House’s rewards for capturing Murong Fu and Ouyang Feng and recounted their attempt to steal Ling Yi’s techniques and poison well water.
• Ling Yi left Wang Yuyan in charge, asked her to pass along a message if Huang Yaoshi came, and set out toward Wuliang Cave in the Dali Kingdom.
• Ling Yi encountered Ye Erniang carrying an infant, noticed her unexpectedly low Evil Value and affectionate manner, and concealed himself to follow her.

• Duan Yanqing and the other three tried to flee, but Ling Yi froze and destroyed all four of the Four Great Evils.
• Qiao Feng saw Ling Yi hovering above the ground and asked if he was the master of the Good and Evil House.

Yin Wanqing explained a new Boundary Breaking method that required Ling Yi to permeate existing worlds with Karmic Luck, while warning Uncle that the story’s popularity depended on his writing. In the Combined Martial Arts World, Ling Yi parted warily from Qiao Feng and kept Hei Zun sealed after the cat refused to call him Master.

• Yin Wanqing told Uncle that the Ling Realm had formed a stable passage through the Bridge of Karmic Luck and explained how preexisting worlds made Boundary Breaking difficult.
• Yin Wanqing proposed that Ling Yi spread Karmic Luck through a finite number of existing worlds to turn them illusory, and told Uncle to take every world and stretch of plot seriously.
• Ling Yi drank with Qiao Feng, who remained suspicious of the Good and Evil House, and Ling Yi abandoned his idea of reviving the dead Beggar Sect disciples.
• Ling Yi returned to the Prison Space, where Hei Zun begged to be released after half a month sealed as a statue.
• Ling Yi ordered Hei Zun to call him Master, but Hei Zun refused, so Ling Yi left him sealed.

Jiang Yuyan proposed expanding the Prison Space with a herb garden, orchard, and beast park, while Ling Yi and the Good and Evil House’s leaders discussed threats, recruitment, and internal discipline. After spending two more days in the Prison Space, Ling Yi returned to Qingfeng Town and continued toward the Dali Kingdom.
