By then, Song Yan had already returned to his cave abode at the Mountain Retreat.

He himself had not expected his luck at this auction to be good enough to let him encounter something that might help. Though it was not a pill for protecting the heart meridians, but a Law Treasure, he had his Dharma Body to assist him, so it would not interfere with his normal use of it. This Law Treasure was called the "Sun-Moon Eclipse."
Recalling the auction host's introduction and description of this treasure, Song Yan could not help marveling once again at how vast and varied the world's wondrous arts and marvelous methods were. They truly opened one's eyes.
