Dugu Bo returned with news of Chen Ming’s growing fame and Spirit Hall’s interest, ending with his angry realization that others had long noticed his poisoning but never dared to tell him.

• Dugu Bo proposed changes to improve the medicine’s yield and balance its costs and side effects, and Chrysanthemum Douluo challenged his reasoning.

He remained in a deep state of cultivation for seven days and seven nights as the flower transformed within him and golden Essence Blood began to form.

• Chen Ming asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to submit their jointly compiled research and search Spirit Hall's network for a five- to six-thousand-year-old Earth or Metal Attribute dragon Spirit Beast.

After explaining his gains to Dugu Bo, he offered to examine Dugu Yan and find an Immortal Herb suited to her.

• Chen Ming offered to examine Dugu Yan and choose a suitable Immortal Herb for her, and Dugu Bo entrusted her future cultivation guidance to him.
