Before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he spent Heavenly Points to upgrade his cultivation, meditation, and body-forging techniques.

• Zi Ji swallowed Gu Han’s Dragon Ascension Pill, gaining thirty thousand years of cultivation and transforming into a Hellish Demonic Dragon King with a perfect bloodline.
• Gu Han refined pills from the remaining Immortal Herbs, including Heaven-Reaching Pills and Night Ghost Pills for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, but decided not to return to Spirit City until he was strong enough to protect himself.
