Three days later, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo returned to Spirit City, leaving Dugu Bo to guard Lin Hao and deciding not to report the medicine garden to Bibi Dong.

• Lin Hao asked Dugu Bo for permission to take the octagonal mysterious ice grass and infernal delicate apricot, then explained that consuming both together would allow him to temper his body in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
