Chapter Summaries

Lin Mo described three ways to address the poison harming Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, culminating in Martial Soul Evolution as the only complete cure. Dugu Bo rejected the first two methods as too painful or dangerous, then insisted that Martial Souls could not evolve.

• Dugu Bo asked Lin Mo whether he could cure the poison affecting him and Dugu Yan, and Lin Mo said there were three possible methods.
• Lin Mo proposed slowing Dugu Yan's cultivation until he could help her withstand the toxins, but Dugu Bo rejected the method because its backlash would cause her unbearable pain.
• Lin Mo suggested transferring the toxins into Soul Bones, but warned that the Soul Bones could eventually fail and release the stored poison.
• Lin Mo proposed evolving their Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Souls to strengthen their origins and permanently prevent the toxins from causing backlash.
• Dugu Bo rejected the idea as impossible, arguing that a Martial Soul's form was fixed after awakening and that his own evolution was the limit.

Lin Mo explained that his two Martial Souls had each evolved, revealing that his second was a Body Martial Soul encompassing his internal organs and blood. He told Dugu Bo that compatible Soul Rings, Soul Bones, or natural treasures could trigger Martial Soul evolution, and Dugu Bo offered to seek treasures if Lin Mo would assess them.

• Lin Mo revealed that his egg Martial Soul evolved into Charmander and that his second Martial Soul had also undergone a beneficial mutation.
• Lin Mo explained that absorbing the Scarlet Blood Heart external Soul Bone transformed his second Martial Soul from his heart into his Five Viscera and Six Bowels.

• Lin Mo described compatible Soul Rings and Soul Bones as possible catalysts for Martial Soul evolution, then suggested compatible natural treasures as another method.
• Dugu Bo said he might be able to obtain natural treasures and asked Lin Mo to determine whether they could help him and Dugu Yan.
• Dugu Bo promised to protect Lin Mo and make him his greatest benefactor if Lin Mo helped resolve their Martial Soul poison, and Lin Mo agreed.

• Dugu Bo showed Lin Mo the medicinal garden at the valley floor and explained that he could not identify most of its rare plants, though they might hold a cure for him and Ye Yanyan.

Lin Mo identified the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s Immortal Herbs as a possible way to resolve Dugu Bo’s poison backlash and trigger a beneficial Martial Soul mutation. He left Dugu Bo doubtful but hopeful, while Charmander safely soaked in the fire spring.

• Lin Mo told Dugu Bo he was confident he could find a medicinal supplement to help mutate his Martial Soul, and Dugu Bo asked whether he recognized the herbs.
