Chapter Summaries

Danheng discovered that removing the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s Soul Bones had weakened the spring’s spiritual energy output, so he tried to replenish it with a drop of his blood. The spring erupted with immense energy and began to change, leaving Danheng and Dugu Bo watching in alarm.

• Danheng inspected the Herb Garden and found that the spring’s spiritual energy output had fallen after the Soul Bones were removed.
• Danheng summoned the two Soul Bones, suppressed their violent ice and fire energies, and confirmed that the precious herbs remained unharmed.
• Danheng waited for Dugu Bo to finish suppressing his toxins, then pricked his finger and let one drop of blood fall into the spring.
• The spring trembled and released an immense surge of energy, and Danheng noticed that it was undergoing another change.

Danheng calmed the energies erupting from the spring and combined them with life energy from the Herb Garden, producing a seed that rapidly grew into a towering tree. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue learned of Danheng’s strength and asked She Long to find him so she could meet him.

• The spring erupted in a golden pillar, and its energy caused the Herb Garden’s immature herbs and weeds to grow rapidly while leaving them unharmed.

• Danheng tapped the pillar to balance its energy, causing the red, blue, golden, and emerald-green energies to merge into a seed.
• The seed cracked, sprouted, and grew within moments into a towering tree radiating a holy aura.

Danheng created a radiant tree in the Herb Garden that slowly purged Dugu Bo’s toxins, and Dugu Bo agreed to gather intelligence about the continent in exchange for staying beneath its light.

• Qian Renxue dismissed She Long's insistence that Danheng had caused the earthquake and hurried toward the imperial palace to see Xue Ye.
