Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a hidden valley filled with Immortal Herbs, intending to give her an opportunity and reveal the truth about her condition. He told her that Jade Python Snake Martial Soul backlash had poisoned her since she was in the womb, and that he had been suppressing it every month.

• Dugu Bo compared the Jade Scale Dragon’s quality to the Golden Sacred Dragon, the superior form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and Dugu Yan reacted with shock.

Dugu Bo showed Dugu Yan the immortal herbs growing around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and explained the potential of her newly transformed Jade Scale Dragon martial soul. After harvesting the most valuable herbs for his plans, he took her to acquire her fourth soul ring.

• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan that her Jade Scale Dragon had quality comparable to the legendary Golden Sacred Dragon, and urged her to cultivate diligently.

• Dugu Bo put away the filled pouch and led Dugu Yan out of the valley to acquire her fourth soul ring.

Dugu Bo decided Dugu Yan was strong enough to attempt a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring and proposed stunning the soul beast before killing it to reduce its mental resentment. He found a twelve-thousand-year Venom Swamp Python in the Sunset Forest and began covertly approaching it with his mental power, leaving the hunt underway.

• Dugu Bo explained that Dugu Yan’s evolved Jade Scale Dragon martial soul and strengthened body could help her absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

• Dugu Bo knocked the Venom Swamp Python unconscious with his spiritual power, and Dugu Yan killed it while it was unaware.
• Dugu Yan absorbed the python’s black Soul Ring without difficulty, reaching Soul Ancestor with four Soul Rings.
• Dugu Yan tested the Jade Scale Poison Domain, which spread deadly poison across the area and killed nearby vegetation and small creatures.
• Dugu Bo explained that the domain could kill or weaken most opponents but could not harm him because of the Nine Nether Divine Dragon’s poison immunity.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan to use the Soul Skill when necessary and not abuse it, and she agreed.
• Dugu Bo found no Soul Bone and stored the Venom Swamp Python’s corpse in his Storage Soul Guidance Ring.

Dugu Yan worried that her evolved Martial Soul, rapid Soul Power growth, and ten-thousand-year Soul Ring would attract suspicion, so Dugu Bo gave her a plausible explanation based on three months of training with him. Back at Dugu Manor, he promised to guide her training and resolved to help her transform before school resumed.
