After killing Zhao Wuji, Su Linfeng calmly tightens the Nine-Solar Binding Chains, ignoring the man's final threats. Zhao Wuji claims that Dugu Yan has been poisoned with a deadly "Soul Poison" that no antidote can cure. Even Dugu Yan knows how dangerous this is—it's a poison cultivated through a Soul Master's own energy, one said to dissolve the victim's spirit entirely.
But Linfeng is unmoved. With a faint smile, he ends Zhao Wuji's life, deciding that someone who threatens him doesn't deserve mercy.
Dugu Yan panics for a moment about her condition, but Linfeng reassures her. From his storage pouch, he takes out the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Gel, explaining that by refining it, he can purge the poison from her body. The Whale Gel, a rare and potent life-essence material, must first be softened through intense flame before it can be absorbed.
Linfeng releases his Solar True Fire, melting the gel into a golden liquid, and instructs her carefully. He warns that the substance is extremely yang-charged and can cause loss of control when absorbed too quickly—a dangerous side effect of over-stimulated energy circulation.
Trusting him completely, Dugu Yan swallows the refined Whale Gel and sits cross-legged as Linfeng channels golden flame energy through her meridians, helping her purify the toxin.
The power of the gel soon surges through her body, burning away the poison but also flooding her with uncontrollable heat and energy. Her spiritual focus begins to waver under the strain, her aura flaring erratically. Linfeng realizes the medicinal effect is far stronger than expected; even his own flame essence reacts restlessly.
He urges her to stay calm, to use her spiritual power to restrain the raging energy while he continues guiding the purification process. The chapter closes with Dugu Yan trembling under the overwhelming energy, while Linfeng struggles to keep her stable, worried that she may completely lose control if the balance breaks.
