Chapter 142 - A Birthday Candle/A funeral Pyre

"...and that's how I ended up sitting on a pile of the very recently deceased Marquis's stuff," Zhen Liu capped off his retelling of what had transpired. He didn't mention the impromptu musical beatdown number coordinated by Hurricroak in too much detail, but he did say he broke through to Aether Master via a mix of stolen pills and extreme desperation. He also changed the details a bit to explain that most of the credit actually went to Draigo, who was actually an Aether Grandmaster.
