Yang Jian told Yang Wudi how Tang Hao had attacked him in the Star Dou Great Forest and revealed that the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff had driven Tang Hao off, leaving him badly injured. Yang Jian then led Yang Wudi to a hidden chamber near Holy Soul Village and uncovered a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that could strengthen him.

• Yang Jian revealed a Hundred Thousand Year right leg bone and said Yang Wudi could gain two hundred-thousand-year soul skills by absorbing it.

• Yang Jian proposed using Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison and his granddaughter as leverage, while offering to force the poison from Dugu Bo's body.
• Yang Wudi questioned whether Yang Jian could safely absorb the venom, then became tense when Yang Jian said he would digest it using his immunity to all poisons.

Yang Jian insisted on using his poison immunity to make Dugu Bo dependent on him, while Yang Wudi reluctantly agreed to let them test the method on Dugu Yan first. After they settled their plan, Yang Wudi took Yang Jian flying with his new Soul Bone ability.
