• Chrysanthemum reached Heaven Dou City, reviewed Spirit Hall’s report on Fang Ling, and told Salas to inform the Young Master that the plan would begin in three days.

• Dugu Bo appeared and angrily challenged Chrysanthemum for trying to take his disciple.

• Chrysanthemum returned to Spirit City to report that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum had helped Fang Ling improve so quickly.

Fang Ling left Heaven Dou City to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone while Dugu Bo drew Tang Hao away from Tang San and Xiao Wu. Fang Ling reached the waterfall pool near the bone’s location, but had not yet found it.

• Fang Ling spent a year training at the academy, then secretly traveled to Notting City and hired beggars to watch for Tang San and Xiao Wu.
• After the beggars reported that Tang San and Xiao Wu had graduated, Fang Ling killed them and waited three more days before setting out.
• Tang Hao intercepted Dugu Bo and warned him to take another route, then let him pass after Dugu Bo threatened to fight.
• Fang Ling followed his remembered map through steep mountains until he heard a waterfall and reached a pool.

Fang Ling found the hidden cave behind the waterfall and recovered Ah Yin and the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. He left with the bone that could eventually regenerate severed limbs, while Ah Yin was stored safely in his Ruyi Treasure Sack.

• Fang Ling climbed above the waterfall, descended by rope, and used Spatial Perception to find a cave behind the rock wall.
• Fang Ling entered the cave and found Ah Yin growing as Blue Silver Grass in a small stone chamber.
• Fang Ling placed Ah Yin in a flowerpot and stored her in the Ruyi Treasure Sack so Tang Hao could not find her.
• Fang Ling sensed a hidden compartment and caught a heavy lead box that fell from the stone wall.
• Fang Ling opened the box and found the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, then celebrated that limb regeneration was within reach.

Fang Ling stole the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and planted a misleading note to implicate others before escaping to Heaven Dou City. He absorbed the bone in Dugu Manor and gained the Self-Healing Lv9 specialty.

• Fang Ling stored the soul bone in the Frost Snow Ring and left a forged note blaming the theft on a lucky treasure hunter who had once opposed Tang Hao.
• Fang Ling blasted open the cave's Stone Door, escaped through the waterfall, retrieved his climbing gear, changed his clothes, and traveled back to Heaven Dou City.
• At Dugu Manor, Fang Ling absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which expanded and strengthened his meridians and purified his Soul Power.
• After a day and a half, Fang Ling checked his Stats Panel and discovered that the soul bone had granted him Self-Healing Lv9.

Fang Ling absorbed the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, gained powerful healing and flight abilities, and broke through to level fifty. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he regenerated his left calf and finally stood on both legs again.

• Fang Ling examined the soul bone’s level-nine Self-Healing and Flight talents and discovered that his soul power had reached level fifty.
• Fang Ling told Dugu Bo that he needed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and restorative herbs to regenerate his limb, and Dugu Bo agreed to help him seek a Fifth Spirit Ring afterward.
• Fang Ling used his Great Scythe to remove the healed end of his left calf, then activated the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to stop the bleeding and regrow the limb.
• Fang Ling consumed Thousand Year Ginseng, completed the regeneration, and stood firmly on both legs for the first time in seven years.

After Fang Ling regrew his left leg and foot, he discovered their fragile meridians reduced his Soul Power circulation to about twenty percent, so he planned to wait and train until they adapted. He also brought Ah Yin, the reborn Blue Silver Emperor, to the Ice Fire Spring and asked Dugu Bo to prepare nutrients for her.

• Fang Ling found that the meridians in his new left calf and foot were fragile, limiting his Soul Power circulation and making forced circulation dangerous.
• Fang Ling rejected consuming another Immortal Herb because his body had reached its limit and the new limbs might become a lasting weakness; Dugu Bo agreed that time and training were the safest approach.
• Fang Ling showed Dugu Bo Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, and explained that he had taken her while obtaining the Blue Silver Emperor Hundred-Thousand-Year Right Leg Bone.
• Fang Ling recounted how Ah Yin had grown again from a Grass Seed after sacrificing herself for Tang Hao, and said he had brought her back to help her grow.
• Dugu Bo agreed to prepare a Nutrient Solution, while Fang Ling placed Ah Yin by the Ice Fire Spring and observed the energy there.
