After reaching Dou Ancestor, Xiao Yang claimed the Magical Beast Ranch Space and gathered the valuable herbs and magical beasts in the Poisonous Fog Forest with Xiao Yi Xian. Back in Snake People New Holy City, he prepared to digest his gains and began secluded cultivation with two unclaimed Fist Technique Comprehensions.

• Xiao Yang claimed the Magical Beast Ranch Space, which sped up time and raised magical beasts but left them without intelligence or combat ability.
• Xiao Yang and Xiao Yi Xian collected poisonous herbs and magical beasts from the Poisonous Fog Forest, expanding the ranch to roughly the size of a forest.

• Xiao Yang entered Medusa's secret cultivation chamber and the Exotic Fire Tower, then claimed two Fist Technique Comprehensions that rapidly improved his mastery of Great Sun Flame Fist, Extreme Path Killing Fist, and Purgatory Flame Fist.

After a month and a half of training, Xiao Yang had greatly improved his cultivation and techniques, reaching One-Star Dou Ancestor and becoming strong enough to contend with weaker Dou Zuns.
