Dongfang Yueming descended into a new world in the body of a kidnapped orphan and was taken by bandits to be sold to cultivators. After female cultivators from the Ultimate Bliss Immortal Ancestor slaughtered the bandits and claimed the boys as disciples, Dongfang Yueming decided to infiltrate their sect and obtain its cultivation techniques.

• Dongfang Yueming returned to his Immortal Saint body after completing his first world and began his second descent.
• Dongfang Yueming awoke in the body of a frail orphan being marched with other kidnapped boys by the Black Wind Stronghold bandits.
• A flower boat carrying female cultivators arrived, and the boys mistook them for benevolent immortals.
• The red-clad female cultivator killed the one-eyed bandit leader and the other bandits with pink blades of qi.
• The female cultivator declared that the boys would become disciples of the Ultimate Bliss Immortal Ancestor, and Dongfang Yueming resolved to infiltrate the sect for its cultivation techniques.

Dongfang Yueming arrived at the Ultimate Bliss Immortal Ancestor’s sect disguised among a group of boys recruited by its female cultivators. As he entered the sect, he assessed its strength and hoped its scripture library held cultivation techniques worth learning.

• The female cultivators brought Dongfang Yueming and the other boys to their flower boat, promising to teach them cultivation while Dongfang Yueming suspected the sect intended to drain their yang qi.
• The flower boat reached the sect’s Five Qi Converging on the Origin Immortal-Befuddling Array, and the boys were dazzled by its five peaks and dense spiritual qi.
• The red-robed cultivator claimed the Ultimate Bliss Immortal Ancestor had a Golden Core ancestor protecting the sect, while Dongfang Yueming judged that level of strength unimpressive.
• The flower boats landed, and the cultivators praised senior sister Ziyuan for recruiting many top-quality boys before she handed them to the outer-sect deacon.
• The red-robed cultivator ordered the boys to line up and follow the deacon to the Newcomer Hall, and Dongfang Yueming entered the sect hoping its scripture library had useful techniques.

Dongfang Yueming watched as Hong Yao introduced the newcomers to cultivation and warned that only those with spiritual roots could qualify. Meanwhile, Ji Meiniang told her disciple Ziyuan that she needed a pure-yang boy with excellent aptitude to achieve Foundation Establishment without damaging her Profound Yin Pure Physique.

• The frightened newcomers gathered in the Newcomer Hall, where one youth admitted he had willingly let the Black Wind Stronghold capture him for a chance to cultivate.

• Ziyuan reported to Ji Meiniang after bringing back a group of prospective disciples.
• Ji Meiniang told Ziyuan that she needed a pure-yang virgin boy with excellent aptitude to establish her foundation safely.

Ji Meiniang and Ziyuan discussed how difficult it was for mortal youths to cultivate the Spirit Nourishing Art and form spirit roots. Ji Meiniang proposed using intimate foot-massage rewards to spur them on, leaving Ziyuan flustered by the idea.

• Ziyuan explained that most recruits lacked spirit roots and needed the Spirit Nourishing Art to develop them.
• Ji Meiniang suggested offering rewards to motivate the youths to cultivate the technique.
• Ji Meiniang promised a Newcomer Hall recruit who formed a mid-grade or higher spirit root within a month a chance to massage her feet in the Nine Yin Hall.
• Ji Meiniang proposed that the first recruit to form a low-grade spirit root could remove Ziyuan's shoes and massage her feet.
• Ziyuan protested and blushed as she imagined a mortal youth kneeling beneath her skirt.

Dongfang Yueming failed the spirit root test, but Hong Yao offered those without natural roots a cultivation art that could nurture an acquired one. His calm question about forming a high-grade spirit root left Hong Yao staring at him.

• Hong Yao tested the youths, and Zhao Meng revealed a Mid-Grade fire spirit root while Dongfang Yueming showed no spirit root.
• Five youths with natural spirit roots were taken to the outer sect peaks, while the others were left fearing they would become servants or cauldrons.

• Dongfang Yueming asked how to form a high-grade spirit root, and Hong Yao fixed her gaze on him.

• Ji Meiniang promised to teach the second part to anyone who perfected the first part and formed a mid-grade spiritual root within one month, along with a night in her Nine Yin Hall.

• Ji Meiniang promised to massage the feet of anyone who formed a mid-grade spirit root within a month.

• Hong Yao ordered Dongfang Yueming to wash her intimate garments at the rear mountain spring.

• Dongfang Yueming returned the neatly folded clothes to Hong Yao, who then began examining his cultivation.
• Hong Yao probed Dongfang Yueming's meridians and was stunned by his immense yang energy and extraordinary endowment.
