Chapter Summaries

Ye Chen secretly told Ye Zhong and Ye Lan that he had obtained a suspected Dou Di inheritance and showed them the Heavenly Tier High-Level Star Divination Art, which required a rare Star Spirit to cultivate.

• Ye Chen gave Ye Zhong the Star Origin Pill formula, and Ye Zhong learned that Ye Chen needed to reach Seventh Grade alchemy to attempt refining it and had materials for at most three tries.
• Ye Chen explained to Ye Lan that the pill could grant weak affinity for star power, allowing someone to cultivate the art at roughly the level of an ordinary Heavenly Tier Low-Level method.

After returning to the Ye Family, Ye Chen rested and spent time with his mother and younger sister before visiting the clan’s training ground. There, he watched Ye Xinyue and Ye Yun prepare to settle their spar with Ye Yun’s Profound Tier Skill.

• Ye Chen found that refining the Meteorite Stones and lighting two Star Souls had raised his Spirit to 90 and his Soul Value to 900.
• Ye Chen discovered that his increased Soul Power had reduced his soul control and alchemy success rates, so he began adapting to it.

Ye Chen saw Myriad Treasures Auction House unveil a peak Sixth Rank Void-Rending Flying Tiger, whose blood essence and magic core could help refine the Ye Family’s Profound Yang Sect Breaking Pill. He wanted to acquire it but lacked enough Gold Coins, until the auctioneer announced that qualifying pills or other items could be exchanged for it.

• The auctioneer revealed the corpse of a peak Sixth Rank Void-Rending Flying Tiger, and Ye Chen recognized its value for refining the Profound Yang Sect Breaking Pill.

• The auctioneer announced that bidders could exchange two Sixth Grade Advanced pills or better, or qualifying Earth Tier Mid-Level cultivation methods or skills, for the beast, giving Ye Chen a way to compete.

• A black-robed Dou Emperor attacked Ye Chen while Old Lion and Old Bear blocked his escape, but Ye Chen struck first with five Fire Dragons.

• The injured black-robed man called for Old Lion and Old Bear, who combined their Dou Qi to envelop him in the Three Beasts Savage Art.
• Ye Chen recognized the technique as the Three Beasts Savage Art used by the Mulan Three Elders in the Original Work.

• Ye Chen and Hu Tian traveled to Green Mountain Town and asked at Ten Thousand Medicines House for Xiao Yi Xian.

• Bu Ke demanded that Alita kill Qing Lin and join the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, while Alita considered fighting back to protect her daughter.
• Xiao Yi Xian asked Ye Chen to help Alita and Qing Lin, and Ye Chen agreed after recognizing that the child might be Qing Lin.
• Ye Chen pushed through the crowd with Xiao Yi Xian and approached Bu Ke, who introduced himself and offered to make friends.

Ye Chen killed Bu Ke and examined Alita’s daughter, recognizing her green snake scales as evidence that she was likely Qing Lin. He praised the scales, leaving the frightened girl moved but making Alita suspect he had a disturbing fetish.
