• Dugu Yan coaxed Dugu Bo into taking them to his residence to hear Yu Tianlin out.

Yu Tianlin told Dugu Bo that he and Dugu Yan had been poisoned by toxins from their Jade Phosphor Serpent martial souls, then explained how soul bones and a medicinal formula could help remove the poison. Dugu Bo examined the formula, impressed, as he considered Yu Tianlin’s proposed cure.

• Yu Tianlin pointed out that Dugu Bo’s and Dugu Yan’s unusual hair and eye colors suggested they had been poisoned by their martial souls.

• Yu Tianlin gave Dugu Bo Yang Wudi’s medicinal formula, which could help guide out the toxins and reduce the risk of backlash.
• Dugu Bo studied the formula closely and grew increasingly interested.

Yu Tianlin and Dugu Bo confirmed that Yang Wudi’s medicine formula could draw out Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, giving Dugu Yan a strong chance of recovery but leaving Dugu Bo at greater risk. Yu Tianlin revealed he had another way to improve Dugu Bo’s odds, and Dugu Bo went to obtain a soul bone while Yu Tianlin reassured Dugu Yan.

• Dugu Bo examined Yang Wudi’s medicine formula and concluded it could safely draw out Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.
• Dugu Yan learned that her grandfather’s years of cultivation had made his poisoning far more severe, and she cried over his uncertain chances.

• Dugu Yan thanked Yu Tianlin, who reassured her that her blood could later help Dugu Bo and that he would give her something to make her immune to all poisons.

Yu Tianlin explained how Dugu Yan could use a Soul Bone to contain her poison before undergoing Ice and Fire Body Tempering. Dugu Bo returned with a thirty-thousand-year Mandala Snake Head Soul Bone for Dugu Yan, who began absorbing it as Yu Tianlin wondered when his own External Soul Bone would evolve.

• Yu Tianlin decided that Dugu Yan could undergo Ice and Fire Body Tempering after guiding her poison into a Soul Bone, and considered which Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs to reserve for his family.
• Dugu Bo returned with a thirty-thousand-year Mandala Snake Head Soul Bone he had obtained from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan the Soul Bone suited her Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul and assured her that accepting it would not bind him to a new obligation.
• Dugu Yan accepted the Mandala Snake Head Soul Bone and began absorbing it.
• Yu Tianlin envied Dugu Yan's Soul Bone and wondered when his cowlick External Soul Bone would evolve.

Dugu Yan absorbed the thirty-thousand-year Mandala Snake Head Soul Bone, greatly increasing her Spiritual Power and gaining a venomous attack skill. Yu Tianlin and Dugu Bo recognized that combining the Mandala Snake’s venom with Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphor Serpent poison could make her poison even more formidable.

• Dugu Yan completed the Head Soul Bone absorption, and Dugu Bo urged her to control her surging Spiritual Power.
• Dugu Yan revealed that the Soul Bone had granted her an offensive skill, and Dugu Bo prepared a steel plate for her to test it.
• Dugu Yan fired a snake-shaped attack that pierced the steel plate, and Yu Tianlin saw that its interior had turned green with venom.
• Dugu Bo explained that the Mandala Snake’s venom caused paralysis and nervous-system damage, while Yu Tianlin suggested combining it with the Jade Phosphor Serpent’s corrosive poison.
• Dugu Bo agreed that the combined poisons would be powerful, and Yu Tianlin considered the additional poisons Dugu Yan could gain from two immortal herbs.

After Dugu Yan finished expelling the toxins, Yu Tianlin revealed that Dugu Bo’s Medicine Garden held two herbs that could grant her immunity to poison and help cure Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan learned that the treatment would require only a small amount of her blood, and Yu Tianlin left them astonished by the herbs’ benefits.

• Dugu Bo gathered ingredients from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and prepared the medicine that Dugu Yan took while channeling out her toxins for seven days.

• Dugu Bo objected to using Dugu Yan’s blood, but Yu Tianlin clarified that only one or two drops would be needed and described the herbs’ benefits to her cultivation.

Yu Tianlin, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Yu Tianlin explained how Dugu Yan could safely consume two Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs. Dugu Bo asked for an immortal herb of his own, but gave up when he recalled that he had already eaten a powerful herb in the past.

• Dugu Bo led Yu Tianlin and Dugu Yan through Sunset Forest and gave them pills to cross his Poison Array.
• The three reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dugu Bo warned that its powerful spiritual energy could destroy anyone unable to withstand it.
• Yu Tianlin said Dugu Yan could eat the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, then enter the boundary between the two springs to survive their effects.
• Yu Tianlin explained that the herbs would strengthen Dugu Yan, protect her from poison and extreme temperatures, and help her advance quickly enough to absorb a higher-year Fourth Soul Ring.
• Dugu Bo asked Yu Tianlin to choose an immortal herb for him, but Yu Tianlin warned that consuming another after one could cause a conflict.
• Dugu Bo recalled eating a powerful herb before and concluded it might have been an Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb, so he abandoned the idea.

Yu Tianlin helped Dugu Yan safely take two immortal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then searched the basin for a suitable herb of his own. He found a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and an immature Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, but had not yet chosen what to take.

• Yu Tianlin searched the basin and stored a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum as a possible choice.
• Yu Tianlin discovered that the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd was an immature herb that granted earth-element affinity and control.

Yu Tianlin discovered an immature Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom growing among Dragon Spirit Leaf at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He ate it while absorbing Dragon Power seeping from underground, aiming to bring its effects up to those of a mature mushroom.

• Yu Tianlin spotted a golden Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom hidden among the Dragon Spirit Leaf.
• Yu Tianlin found that the mushroom had only seven and a half dragon patterns and would take more than ten years to mature.
• Yu Tianlin sensed Dragon Power seeping from underground where the mushroom had grown.
• Yu Tianlin gathered the Dragon Spirit Leaf, sat over the source of the Dragon Power, and ate the immature mushroom.
• Yu Tianlin meditated, refining the mushroom’s energy as he absorbed underground Dragon Power that merged with its medicinal power.

Yu Tianlin struggled to refine the Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom as its energy transformed his cowlick into a dragon horn. Dugu Yan emerged safely from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dugu Bo returned to check on her while Yu Tianlin continued cultivating.

• Yu Tianlin found the mushroom energy surging uncontrollably toward his cowlick and began refining it in small portions while the main mass battered his head.
• The mushroom energy fused Dragon Power into Yu Tianlin's cowlick, which lengthened and thickened until it became a blue-purple dragon horn.
• Dugu Yan emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, changed clothes, and found Yu Tianlin cultivating, so she stood guard beside him.
• Dugu Bo returned to the valley and asked Dugu Yan how she was; she said she had absorbed the two Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs safely and felt comfortable in the pool water.

Yu Tianlin absorbed the Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom, pushing his Dragon Transformation beyond what Dugu Bo thought possible and turning his cowlick into a retractable dragon horn. He discovered the horn had evolved, though he worried it might have lost its ability to attract thunder and temper rings.

• Dugu Bo explained to Dugu Yan that Yu Tianlin’s dragon horn was a Soul Bone, not a result of Dragon Transformation.
• Yu Tianlin absorbed the mushroom’s energy and transformed both legs into dragon form, astonishing Dugu Bo with the extent of his transformation at rank thirty.
• Dugu Bo deduced that Yu Tianlin had eaten the golden-yellow spirit mushroom that had grown near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• After waking, Yu Tianlin saw that his cowlick had become a blue-purple dragon horn and realized the mushroom’s energy had merged Dragon Power into it.
• Yu Tianlin told Dugu Bo that the herb was the Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom, then successfully retracted his new dragon horn.

Yu Tianlin gained four soul power levels from the Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom and discovered that his Dragon Power and physical transformation had advanced as well. After Dugu Yan left for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Dugu Bo to keep absorbing Dragon Power, while his spiritual power also increased.

• Yu Tianlin told Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan that the Nine Dragon Spirit Mushroom had raised him to Level Thirty-Seven and transformed his four limbs and cowlick into dragon features.
• Yu Tianlin explained that Dugu Yan's immortal herbs had strengthened her body rather than raising her soul power, and she demonstrated the four poisons now reflected in her Head Soul Bone.
• Yu Tianlin said Dugu Yan's blood could help draw out Dugu Bo's toxins, and Dugu Bo agreed to prepare the medicine.
• Yu Tianlin chose to remain at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to absorb its continuous Dragon Power, while Dugu Yan left a bottle of blood and returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Yu Tianlin and Dugu Bo stayed at the well for half a year, during which Yu Tianlin consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and increased his spiritual power.

• Yu Tianlin completed Full Body Dragon Transformation after cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for half a year.
• Dugu Bo said most of his poison had been guided out and gave Yu Tianlin permission to take any medicinal herbs from the valley.
• Yu Tianlin harvested every medicinal herb, including immature ones, leaving the valley stripped bare.
• Dugu Bo returned, scolded Yu Tianlin, and smacked his butt before agreeing to let the matter go.
• Yu Tianlin climbed out of the valley with his harvest, and Dugu Bo offered to find him a spirit ring because he had reached rank forty.

Yu Tianlin and Dugu Bo found a ten-thousand-year Thunderbolt Savage Dragon in Sunset Forest, and Dugu Bo used his Eighth Soul Skill, Time Stop, to give Yu Tianlin the chance to kill it. The beast lay dying, leaving Yu Tianlin ready to obtain its soul ring.

• Dugu Bo led Yu Tianlin through Sunset Forest and found a Thunderbolt Savage Dragon with more than ten thousand years of cultivation.
• The Thunderbolt Savage Dragon tried to flee after recognizing Dugu Bo, then used Savage Dragon's Fury to boost its strength and speed.
• Dugu Bo used his Eighth Soul Skill, Time Stop, freezing the Thunderbolt Savage Dragon and the surrounding space while protecting Yu Tianlin.
• Yu Tianlin stabbed the Thunderbolt Savage Dragon through the eye and destroyed its brain.
• Dugu Bo ended Time Stop, and he and Yu Tianlin waited at a distance as the mortally wounded Thunderbolt Savage Dragon struggled to die.

Yu Tianlin absorbed the Thunderbolt Savage Dragon’s Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, reached rank forty-two, and agreed with Dugu Bo that he could bring sect members to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They went to the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena, where Zuo Jianping found Yu Tianlin.

• Dugu Bo protected Yu Tianlin as he absorbed the Thunderbolt Savage Dragon’s Soul Ring, and Yu Tianlin resisted the beast’s remnant soul attacking his spiritual world.
