Book 2 Recap· Released
TL;DR
A year has passed since Jin died, was reborn, ran from his sect, started a farm and got married. His animals now talk and fight bandits as Spirit Beasts, and cultivators keep arriving at his door. He wants a calm second year after Spring Planting, with no tribulations, ancient formations or cultivator issues.

I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
The start of Jin's second year on the farm, before Spring Planting. According to the blurb, he is married, his animals are Spirit Beasts that talk, and the household has begun to attract cultivators.
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- Spring Planting opens the year, and Jin wants a quiet life (publisher blurb).
- Cultivators and talking animals move in and make the household more complicated, which the blurb treats as 'a bit weird'.
- The blurb teases Heavenly Tribulations, ancient formations and cultivator problems that Jin insists will not happen. We have no verified chapter-level outline for Book 2.
- The wiki places a Dueling Peaks tournament and a tourney host, Bai Huizong, in Volume 2 (first appearance Chapter 65), with Elder Xiao Ge and Elder Ran appearing from Chapters 21 and 23, and the Plum Blossom's Shadow organization in Chapter 81. We cannot confirm how these fit into the book's arc.
