Yin Yunze uses prayers and Incense of Faith to provide food and water to Clear Creek Village, establishing himself as its Fox Immortal and turning the villagers’ needs into a grain trade. After quitting his job, he puts Sun Qin in charge of village affairs and leaves her with authority over a grain-credit allowance.
Yin Yunze supplied Clear Creek Village with grain and rain, then gained Land God authority after rescuing Zhao Wan from a kidnapping plot. As he prepared to investigate the force behind the drought, he discovered Zhao Wan’s unique bond with him and devised talismans that mortals could use.
Yin Yunze uncovered Prince Jing’s role in the drought, defeated Wang Guisheng, and began arranging food relief for the starving people of Qingling County. The arc ended with Xu Hanxian disputing Yin Yunze’s account of the Drought Demon and offering to buy the grain at a higher price.
Yin Yunze healed Xu Yue, challenged Xu Hanxian’s treatment of the people, and built support in the villages while investigating Grandfather Huang Three. Trapped in Upper Creek Village, Yin Yunze fought the corrupted weasel god and unleashed the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, leaving their battle unresolved.
Yin Yunze killed Grandfather Huang Three, claimed Upper Creek Village, and became a living fox deity with a widening domain and new powers. After accepting official recognition as Lady Qingnü, Yin Yunze learned that a Drought Demon threatened the county and that the Heavenly Wheel Sect was plotting against local magistrates.
Yin Yunze escaped the Third Warden’s attack, discovered how the two worlds and his mortal and divine bodies worked, and gathered allies and strength against the City God. The arc ended with Yin Yunze transforming Guo Jing into the Pure Fox Robe so he could pursue revenge.
Yin Yunze expanded Qingnü’s faith, crushed the Heavenly Wheel Sect’s local allies, and built a Demon-Summoning Banner by hunting lesser gods. After defeating the Lord of Du Mountain, Yin Yunze bound her into an uneasy alliance, then raced to stop an attack on Qingnü’s golden statue.
Yin Yunze rallied the people and her allies to defeat the Qingling County City God, then helped the resentful ghosts move on and arranged a new order of local deities. The arc left her preparing the formal investiture of her Subordinate Deities while training her mortal body with lightning.
Yin Yunze gained the County Princess of Qingping title and rallied officials, City Gods, and believers to confront the drought’s source in the Tomb of Prince Jing. After suppressing the Drought Demon, he brought rain to Anqing Prefecture and gained new divine authorities, while the City Gods acknowledged his power.
