Chapter Summaries

Yang Yunhai and Dugu Bo descended into the valley’s extreme ice-and-fire spring, where Yang Yunhai identified herbs that could help cure Dugu Bo and Yan Jie’s poison. He decided to consume the two most potent herbs himself and use his blood to make medicine, while Dugu Bo realized the valley had already harmed Yang Yunhai and apologized.

• Yang Yunhai used his Blue Silver Grass to descend the cliff after Dugu Bo jumped down into the valley.
• Yang Yunhai assured Dugu Bo that he could cure him and Yan Jie, then picked an Aromatic Silk Beauty to guard against the valley’s opposing energies.
• Yang Yunhai explained that the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass could dissolve all toxins, including Dugu Bo’s Phosphorus Serpent Poison, so Dugu Bo and Yan Jie could not safely consume them.
• Yang Yunhai proposed eating the two herbs himself and using his blood to prepare medicine for Dugu Bo and Yan Jie, including future detoxification for Yan Jie.
• Dugu Bo sensed that the valley’s polar energies had already damaged Yang Yunhai’s physique and guiltily apologized for letting him down.

Yang Yunhai explained how he would use the Yin-Yang Well to absorb two medicinal treasures and outlined a plan to cure Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan with medicines from the garden. Dugu Bo realized that Yang Yunhai was taking the greatest risk and might not be able to consume a treasure that could benefit him.

• Yang Yunhai told Dugu Bo he would consume two rare herbs and enter the meeting point of the cold and hot springs to counter their energies and absorb their effects.
• Yang Yunhai asked Dugu Bo to buy alchemy tools and prepare Soul Bones while he digested the herbs and refined medicine to remove Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's poison.
• Yang Yunhai identified treasures that could strengthen Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, including the Nine Rank Dragon Ganoderma and Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, and explained that Dugu Bo might be able to consume the latter after absorbing the Nine Rank Purple Ganoderma.
• Dugu Bo asked whether Yang Yunhai could consume another treasure like the bamboo he had eaten before, but Yang Yunhai said he would not know until he had fully absorbed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot.
• Dugu Bo fell silent and felt guilty because Yang Yunhai was risking himself to help him and Dugu Yan while being unable to benefit from a treasure better suited to himself.

Yang Yunhai harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, ate them, and entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to endure their effects. Dugu Bo left to fetch alchemy tools while reconsidering Dugu Yan’s future with Yu Tianheng, and Yang Yunhai passed out as a faint blue glow gathered around his right leg.

• Yang Yunhai used jade and iron tools to harvest both Immortal Herbs and stored them in a Jade Box before eating them and jumping into the spring.
• Dugu Bo saw that Yang Yunhai was unharmed and left to get alchemy tools, while considering whether Yang Yunhai might be a better match for Dugu Yan than Yu Tianheng.
• Yang Yunhai noticed the depths where the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s remains lay but could not dive far enough to reach them.
• The herbs’ energy surged through Yang Yunhai’s body, and he passed out in the pool less than a quarter of an hour later.
• A faint blue glow gathered around Yang Yunhai’s right leg as time passed, until footsteps broke the silence.

Yang Yunhai recovered from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, discovered that its energies had strengthened his body and let him imbue his Blue Silver Grass with ice and fire attributes, then consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. A voice emerged from his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and a young-looking woman formed from blue light, leaving Yang Yunhai startled as he tried to explain clothing to her.

• Dugu Bo left supplies and a note for Yang Yunhai before departing to acquire a Soul Bone.
• Yang Yunhai woke from the spring and found his physical strength and Blue Silver Grass had improved, with his Soul Power able to add ice, fire, and thunder attributes to the Martial Soul.
• Yang Yunhai read Dugu Bo's warning to stay inside the dangerous area and consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which enhanced his eyesight and Spiritual Power.
• Yang Yunhai admired an Ink Jade Divine Bamboo plant when a woman's voice spoke beside him and Soul Power gathered into his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
• A mass of blue light emerged from Yang Yunhai's leg and formed a naked young woman, who approached him until he told her to stop and explained that she needed clothing.

Yang Yunhai questioned the newly transformed Blue Silver Emperor, who had lost her memories and shown an unusual attachment to him, and named her Yin'e. After Yin'e sensed that the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo held something useful, Yang Yunhai drank its sweet dew and began absorbing its effects.

• The girl changed into an azure dress and told Yang Yunhai that she liked him, but could not recall her name or past.
• Yang Yunhai worried that the girl could draw on his Soul Power, then named her Yin'e, and she happily accepted.
• Yin'e pointed out the essence inside the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and returned to Yang Yunhai's right leg as his lost Soul Power flowed back.
• Yang Yunhai drilled into the bamboo and drank its cool, sweet dew, sensing a slight increase in his Soul Power without other immediate effects.
• Yang Yunhai drank the remaining dew, then sat down to circulate his Soul Power and absorb the medicinal effects for several hours.

After consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Yang Yunhai gained four soul power levels and discovered that Yin'e had awakened and could emerge from his soul bone. He secured her secrecy, inspected his strengthened Martial Soul, and gathered valuable herbs and the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss before leaving the Medicine Garden.

• Yang Yunhai reached Soul Power Level 36 after consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, and Yin'e emerged from his soul bone once he released his control over his soul power.
• Yin'e explained that she had recently awakened after being drowsy and half-conscious, and Yang Yunhai suspected the immortal herbs had affected her soul.
• Yang Yunhai warned Yin'e to hide inside the soul bone whenever anyone approached and not to reveal herself without his permission.
• Yang Yunhai found that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had become dark greenish-blue, harder and sharper, and noticed that his hair had changed color.
• Yang Yunhai toured the Medicine Garden with Yin'e, collected numerous immortal herbs in the Jadeite Jade Bottle, and took the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss for possible use against Dugu Bo or others.

Yang Yunhai gathered herbs and refined medicine at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while Yin'e grew increasingly attached to him. Meanwhile, Yu Yuanzhen convened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s elders to discuss offering Dugu Bo a ten-thousand-year soul bone, but the Grand Elder opposed the plan.

• Yang Yunhai collected selected immortal and medicinal herbs, then spent the night and following day refining medicine and absorbing its medicinal power.
• Yin'e left the Soul Bone space without permission and slept beside Yang Yunhai; he warned her to tell him before coming out next time.
• Yang Yunhai discovered Yin'e could not stray far from him without her Soul Power body dissipating, and continued cultivating while waiting for Dugu Bo.
• Yu Yuanzhen read Tian Heng’s letter and summoned the elders to discuss offering Dugu Bo a ten-thousand-year strength-type soul bone.
• The Grand Elder objected to Yu Yuanzhen’s proposal at the Council Hall.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan demanded a formal engagement in exchange for giving Dugu Yan a Ten Thousand Year Strength-Type Soul Bone. Dugu Yan returned to Dugu Manor in tears, feeling as though her relationship with Yu Tianheng had been traded for the soul bone.

• The Grand Elder argued that Yu Tianxin was a better clan heir than Yu Tianheng and refused to give Dugu Yan the soul bone without a formal betrothal.
• Yu Yuanzhen ended the elders’ debate and agreed to write Yu Tianheng a letter setting out the clan’s demand.
• Two days later, Yu Tianheng told Dugu Yan that the clan would provide the soul bone as a betrothal gift if they formally became engaged.
• Dugu Yan said she needed to consult Dugu Bo, then cried alone in her room and left a note at Yu Tianheng’s door.
• Dugu Yan returned to Dugu Manor, learned Dugu Bo was away, and sobbed herself to sleep.

Dugu Bo confronted Dugu Yan about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s demand for a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a betrothal gift and condemned Yu Tianheng for failing to fight for her or her health. The chapter ended with Dugu Yan tearfully telling her grandfather that she and Yu Tianheng had not gone that far.

• Yu Tianheng found Dugu Yan’s note saying she might stay overnight at Dugu Manor and went into his room.
• Dugu Bo learned that Dugu Yan had returned crying, skipped dinner, and stayed shut in her room.
• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would finalize the marriage only if he provided a Ten Thousand Year Strength-Type Soul Bone.
• Dugu Bo smashed a table and argued that Yu Tianheng had failed to show responsibility or care for Dugu Yan, especially compared with Xiao Hai.
• Dugu Bo asked Dugu Yan whether she and Yu Tianheng had gone that far, and Dugu Yan tearfully said they had not.

Dugu Bo explained why Dugu Yan should reconsider her relationship with Yu Tianheng, citing his breach of Yang Yunhai’s secret and Yang Yunhai’s dangerous efforts to cure them. Dugu Yan stayed home to reflect while Dugu Bo went to visit Yang Yunhai.

• Dugu Bo asked Dugu Yan to keep some distance from Yu Tianheng and give him a final chance to change before he would consider breaking them up.
• Dugu Bo revealed that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had learned of Yang Yunhai’s fortuitous encounter, and Dugu Yan realized Yu Tianheng might have exposed the secret without warning Yang Yunhai.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan that Yang Yunhai risked his life and damaged his foundation while testing medicine to cure them, leaving her shocked and speechless.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan to say he had found her a suitable Soul Bone but would not approve an engagement yet, then left to bring supplies to Yang Yunhai.
• Dugu Yan stayed home for another day to sort through her thoughts and reassess her relationship with Yu Tianheng.

Yang Yunhai gave Dugu Bo the antidotes and medicine he had refined, then discussed how Dugu Bo and Yan Jie should manage their innate venom. Dugu Bo agreed to help retrieve a rare treasure for Zhu Qing, and Yang Yunhai planned to delay her consuming it until the timing would attract less suspicion.

• Yang Yunhai warned Yin'e that someone was approaching, and Dugu Bo returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Yang Yunhai gave Dugu Bo the finished antidote and medicine for Yan Jie, explaining how residual effects and innate venom should be handled.
• Dugu Bo showed Yang Yunhai the poison pellet he had already condensed and praised his advice.
• Yang Yunhai asked to take a rare treasure for Zhu Qing, and Dugu Bo readily agreed to retrieve it.
• Yang Yunhai suggested keeping the treasure until Zhu Qing returned from special training, then considered who should help her obtain a Spirit Ring.

Yang Yunhai told Dugu Bo that his foundation and Soul Power had improved after using the rare treasures, while Dugu Bo explained why he had lost faith in Yu Tianheng as a match for Dugu Yan. Dugu Bo then revealed that members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had searched near Notting City for the rare treasures, suggesting Yu Tianheng had leaked the information.

• Yang Yunhai told Dugu Bo that his foundation had recovered, his physical strength had increased, and his Soul Power had risen four levels.
• Dugu Bo said the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had proposed a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as a betrothal gift, and he condemned Yu Tianheng for failing to show personal commitment to Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Bo explained that he had once tolerated Yu Tianheng because he hoped the marriage would protect Dugu Yan, but the clan's response had convinced him she would suffer under their care.
• Dugu Bo told Yang Yunhai that he had searched the mountains near Notting City and found people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan searching there too.
• Dugu Bo concluded that someone had leaked the rare-treasure news, and Yang Yunhai recognized that Yu Tianheng was the likely source.

Yang Yunhai realized Yu Tianheng could not be trusted and considered using Dugu Yan’s disappointment to push him out of the team. After warning Yang Yunhai about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Dugu Bo examined a rare herb with him and grew more determined to make him his granddaughter’s husband.

• Yang Yunhai decided Yu Tianheng’s clan loyalty made him unreliable and planned to use Dugu Yan’s disappointment to encourage a breakup.
• Dugu Bo warned that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might target Yang Yunhai and said Dugu Yan should make other plans now that her poison was cured.
• Yang Yunhai cautiously tested whether Dugu Bo meant to match him with Dugu Yan, then redirected the conversation to a medicinal herb.
• Yang Yunhai showed Dugu Bo the Cloud Immortal White Peony and explained its effects, but they agreed to leave it unpicked for now.
• Yang Yunhai offered to identify dozens of herbs, including poisonous ones, and Dugu Bo thanked him and resolved to make him his granddaughter’s husband.

Dugu Yan returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and told Yu Tianheng that Dugu Bo had refused to approve their marriage for now. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Yunhai realized Dugu Bo had falsely claimed to have found a soul bone for Dugu Yan, so he chose to stay away from the academy to protect the lie.

• Dugu Yan told Yu Tianheng that Dugu Bo had found a suitable Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone but wanted to judge Yu Tianheng's future conduct before approving their marriage.
• Dugu Yan resolved to cultivate and help Yang Yunhai win the Soul Master Competition, while Yu Tianheng promised to work harder.
• Dugu Bo praised Yang Yunhai's medicine, which he said could purge the toxins from Dugu Bo's body within a month.
• Yang Yunhai suspected Tang San had deliberately prolonged Dugu Bo's detoxification to benefit from the herbs, spring water, and Dan Zhu at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Dugu Bo agreed to help Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing obtain Spirit Rings, then planned to hunt a soul bone for Dugu Yan.
• Yang Yunhai realized Dugu Bo had lied to Dugu Yan about already having her soul bone and chose not to return to the academy yet, preventing Yu Tianheng from discovering the deception.

Yang Yunhai stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while Dugu Bo hunted Soul Bones, then returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy after Dugu Bo obtained a poison-attribute Soul Bone. He reunited with Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan in the valley, where Dugu Yan’s guilt over his absence and thoughts of Yu Tianheng lingered.

• Yang Yunhai advised Dugu Bo to hunt soul beasts for Soul Bones and explained that increasing a beast’s resentment before death could improve the odds, while cautioning him not to abuse the method.
• Feeling guilty that Yang Yunhai had been away and Zhu Zhuqing had been alone, Dugu Yan went to the valley to keep her company, and Qin Ming announced the team’s plans for combat training after Yang Yunhai returned.
• Seven days later, Dugu Bo returned with a left arm Soul Bone nearly thirty thousand years old from a Man Faced Demon Spider, and he and Yang Yunhai left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo learned that Dugu Yan had been keeping Zhu Zhuqing company in the valley, while Yang Yunhai hurried there to reunite with them.
• Yang Yunhai embraced Zhu Zhuqing despite her being sweaty, while Dugu Yan watched and thought of Yu Tianheng with a trace of gloom.

Yang Yunhai reunited with Zhu Zhuqing and privately revealed that a Golden Pattern Blue Silver Grass and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone—not Bamboo Shoot Nectar—had caused his rapid growth and Martial Soul Evolution. Zhu Zhuqing accepted his secret and worried about Yin'e’s power, leaving the couple to consider how to keep her close and protect Yang Yunhai.

• Yang Yunhai welcomed Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing back to his wooden house, where they washed while Dugu Bo arrived to collect his granddaughter.
• Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan back to the residence, intending to guide her through detoxification and soul-bone absorption.
• Yang Yunhai passed Zhu Zhuqing a note explaining that he had found a Golden Pattern Blue Silver Grass and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in a cave.
• Zhu Zhuqing worried that Yin'e could harm Yang Yunhai but concluded that keeping a close relationship with her was the safest course.
• Zhu Zhuqing accepted Yang Yunhai’s explanation, put the note away, and followed him into the bedroom.

Yang Yunhai introduced Yin'e to Zhu Zhuqing and discovered that Yin'e could use her Blue Silver Grass domain to boost his cultivation. He left Yin'e with Zhu Zhuqing for the night, then wrote a letter to Chrysanthemum Teacher and went out to reward the Blue Silver Grass.

• Yang Yunhai introduced Yin'e to Zhu Zhuqing, who welcomed her as family.
• Yang Yunhai asked Yin'e to watch over the valley and warned her not to reveal her physical form or use her abilities around outsiders.
• Yin'e called on the valley's Blue Silver Grass to voluntarily share life energy with Yang Yunhai, greatly accelerating his cultivation for half an hour.
• Yang Yunhai explained Yin'e's ability to Zhu Zhuqing, then arranged for Yin'e to sleep with her while he stayed up late.
• Yang Yunhai wrote Chrysanthemum Teacher a letter about the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and soul-skill development, then went to reward the Blue Silver Grass.

Yang Yunhai cared for Yin'e, investigated her attachment to his bloodline, and joined Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan at training. Dugu Yan invited Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing to her home during their three-day break, leaving Yang Yunhai to answer whether they could go.

• Yang Yunhai buried Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Spring Water near the Blue Silver Grass, and Yin'e later sneaked into his room because she could not sleep without his familiar aura.
• Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing realized Yin'e felt safe around him because of their bloodline connection, while Yang Yunhai considered finding her a better home in a Sea of Spirit.
• Dugu Yan thanked Yang Yunhai for the medicines that had detoxified her and strengthened her, and he reassured her that friends naturally helped each other.
• Qin Ming announced that the team would have three days off before practical combat training at Heaven Dou City's Great Soul Arena, and Yang Yunhai said Dugu Yan's medicine would help her recover during battle.
• After training, Dugu Yan invited Yang Yunhai and Zhu Zhuqing to her home for a meal with her grandfather, asking whether they had other plans.

Yang Yunhai refused Dugu Yan’s invitation, trained with Zhu Zhuqing and Yin'e, and later won a string of Great Soul Arena matches with the Heaven Dou Battle Team. After reading Salas’s report about Yang Yunhai’s closeness with Dugu Bo and the failed marriage arrangement involving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Bibi Dong asked Chrysanthemum Douluo to make peace with Dugu Bo.

• Yang Yunhai declined Dugu Yan’s invitation to train, then used Spiritual Power and Yin'e’s help to conceal his Soul Power Level as 32.
• Yang Yunhai trained with Zhu Zhuqing, and Yin'e drew life energy from the surrounding Blue Silver Grass; the next day, Yang Yunhai took Yin'e and Zhu Zhuqing on a tour of the academy.
• Dugu Bo watched Yang Yunhai train and decided that he would become Dugu Yan’s husband.
• Three days later, the Heaven Dou Battle Team traveled to Heaven Dou City, where Yang Yunhai won individual, two-person, and team matches and earned Gold Soul Coins.
• Ghost Douluo delivered Salas’s report to Bibi Dong, and Chrysanthemum Douluo learned that Dugu Bo had treated Dugu Yan’s illness with Yang Yunhai’s help and that the proposed marriage arrangement with Yu Tianheng had failed.
• Bibi Dong told Chrysanthemum Douluo that she hoped he could turn hostility into friendship with Dugu Bo.

Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted Bibi Dong’s order to protect Yang Yunhai through Dugu Bo and traveled to Heaven Dou City, where he stayed at the Spirit Hall Holy Temple. Meanwhile, Qin Ming changed the Heaven Dou Battle Team’s training plan so Yang Yunhai could focus on individual and duo battles while Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing took on larger team roles.

• Ghost Douluo persuaded Chrysanthemum Douluo that Dugu Bo should protect Yang Yunhai from retaliation by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Chrysanthemum Douluo accepted Bibi Dong’s order.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo traveled to Heaven Dou City, praised Salas for keeping watch over Yang Yunhai, and gave him medicinal ointment for his grandson.
• Chrysanthemum Douluo decided to stay at the Spirit Hall Holy Temple until the Heaven Dou Battle Team left the city, hoping to meet Dugu Bo on the road.
• Qin Ming said the team relied too heavily on Yang Yunhai’s Martial Soul control and assigned Yang Yunhai to duo and individual battles instead of the Team Competition.
• Qin Ming appointed Dugu Yan as the team’s primary controller and promoted Zhu Zhuqing from rotation member to core member.
