Power Progression

Background

Dugu Yan is the granddaughter of Dugu Bo. She suffered from fierce poison in her body from childhood until Tang Wulin helped turn it into energy that could raise her cultivation and prevent it from erupting 52.

When Wulin visited her mountain courtyard, Yan showed him her progress and summoned Dugu Bo to discuss his medicinal garden. Wulin later sent her the Nine Spirits Sacred Poison Flower through her grandfather. She prepared herself before refining it, leaving a note that she had also arranged a room for Wulin 52 54 57.

After her breakthrough, Yan introduced Wulin to her friend Ye Lingling. Their visit led to Wulin healing Lingling’s grandmother, Ye Lianci 68 73 74.

Dugu Bo subsequently arranged for Yan to leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy for Spirit Hall Academy. Yan invited Lingling to join her, and they withdrew together. Before Dugu Bo left for the Star Dou Great Forest, he asked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to shelter them 83 84 85 86.
