• Shui Yunxi agreed to seek Dugu Bo’s cultivation guidance the next day and considered her offer a worthwhile alliance with Yun Duo’s family.

Yun Duo discussed using inherited pill knowledge to treat Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, strengthen Shui Yunxi, and sell lower-grade pills through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant guilds.

He revealed that Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both suffered from their family’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison and urged Dugu Bo to explain the truth to her.

Yun Duo chose Immortal Herbs to cure Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan’s poison and strengthen Ye Lingling, and planned to ask Dugu Bo to help refine them into pills.

• Yun Duo selected Earth Dragon Golden Melon for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid for Dugu Yan, and Lovesick Heartbreak Red for Ye Lingling.
• Yun Duo decided to ask Dugu Bo to refine the selected Immortal Herbs into pills because Yun Duo’s Soul Power was too low to do it himself.

Yun Duo explained how the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s Immortal Herbs could cure the Dugu Family’s Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison and help their Martial Souls evolve.

The group ended with Yun Duo warning the two young women that the Kindness Goddess was scheming, while the Goddess of Life was the easiest God King to get along with.

• Yun Duo explained that the Flower Goddess’s shattered Godhood caused the Ye Family’s Twelve-Heart Begonia to degenerate into the flawed Nine-Heart Begonia.

Yun Duo and the others discussed the threat posed by the God of Heavenly Calamity, Austin Griffin, and the Goddess of Life suggested Yun Duo might someday wield Spacetime Power to confront him.
