The chapter ended with Liu Mu questioning whether Chen Feng could afford the raw materials needed to meet the military’s production demand.

• Chen Feng noticed that his painting scroll had changed to show Hengduan Mountain and nearby towns, and wondered whether the change came from taking over the mountain or reaching the Second Layer of Qi Refining.
• Chen Feng found Liu Mu at the factory, where Liu Mu explained that Wound Healing No. 1 had drawn scrutiny from the Ministry of Health and said he had protected Chen Feng from further inquiries.
• Liu Mu agreed to help put Wound Healing No. 1 on the market if Chen Feng kept it from being sold abroad and made it available through medical insurance, and Chen Feng accepted.

In the Painting Scroll World, Jiang Yaotian's household debated how to deal with Chen Feng, while Jiang Chen realized his earlier questions had warned Chen Feng to prepare.

• Chen Feng followed Jack to a remote port and boarded a ship where Stone’s clients, including Miss Park and three Middle Easterners, were waiting.

• A Middle Easterner pleaded with William, who shot him dead and dismissed the arms buyers as insignificant.

• Chen Feng examined a fading bullet mark on his arm and concluded that Spiritual Qi had made his body stronger than that of a Xiantian martial artist.
• Jack stared at Chen Feng's changed appearance and asked whether he was Chen.

Chen Feng killed Miss Park and two Middle Eastern men, then ordered Jack to gather their equipment and vanished from the cruise ship. Back at the Xingfeng Sect, he ordered Liu Qian to recruit five thousand miners and buy Blazing Sun Stone, leaving Liu Qian worried the sect would soon run out of money.

FBI investigators found a lounge full of dead Blackwater personnel whose injuries suggested an impossibly powerful attacker, then Chen Feng finished cultivating in the Painting Scroll World and saw the newly recruited miners and their families. The investigators prepared to report the inexplicable scene, while Chen Feng remained unable to advance his cultivation and hoped Lin Wei could find a solution.
