After the Gray Text completely faded, Lu Yuan put away the Return-to-Ruin Spear as well. The changes left behind by Ice and Fire Body Tempering had yet to fully settle. With every circulation of Soul Power, his meridians felt a little more clear and open. Even the alternating cold mist and heat waves near the spring could no longer affect him as strongly as before.
Dugu Bo was still pondering the Return-to-Ruin Spear's earlier transformation, but Lu Yuan did not continue testing it. He merely reminded him, "I've already taken the two herbs. I won't shortchange you on what I promised, Senior."
That was exactly what Dugu Bo had been waiting to hear, and he quickly refocused.
Lu Yuan did not explain the method of transferring the poison in excessive detail. He only laid out the most important direction. The poison in Dugu Bo's body had accumulated for years. Since Soul Bones could bear the poison, the next step was to proceed gradually, transferring only the portion his body could withstand each time before adjusting according to the response of his meridians. Given Dugu Bo's mastery over poison, as long as he did not take the first step incorrectly, Lu Yuan would not need to teach him hand in hand afterward.
Dugu Yan's situation was even simpler. The poison accumulated in her body was still shallow. If she slowly removed the residual poison already left behind, then changed the way poison built up during future cultivation, there was still a good chance she could avoid following Dugu Bo's old path.
At this point, Lu Yuan glanced around the Herb Garden. "There are things here that can be used."
Dugu Bo followed his gaze. "You really recognize these herbs?"
"I recognize some of them."
Lu Yuan walked along the Herb Garden
