Li Xun harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, then endured their effects in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while trying to fuse Chakra and Soul Power. Dugu Bo feared Li Xun had died, but Li Xun emerged alive and said he had gained resistance to water, fire, and poison, and that his blood could remove Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's poison.
