Story context

In this chapter, we see Li Huowang take on a new role: teacher. But in the Dao-Twisted World, even mentorship is laced with pragmatism and test-subject ethics. On the road to the county town, Li Huowang decides to use Lu Xiucai, whose personality has been dangerously corrupted by the Purple-Tasseled Sword, as a guinea pig for a newly acquired cultivation method. It's a perfect storm of desperation, ambition, and cold calculation—and Lu Xiucai, hungry for power, accepts the deal without a second thought. Meanwhile, the group catches a rare moment of relative peace as they enter a bustling market town, but Li Huowang's agenda is far from idle: he's hunting for the Supervisory Heavenly Office.

Why it matters

Buckle up, fellow Daoists, because this chapter is a quiet but crucial gear-shift. We've watched Li Huowang survive, scheme, and kill—but now we see him *teach*. And true to form, his mentorship is less about noble transmission and more about opportunistic field-testing. The way he frames Lu Xiucai's training as a "two birds, one stone" gamble is pure Li Huowang: even his kindness is tactical.
