The young man introduces himself as the "divine physician liu" and asks to see the herbs that he has prepared. He tells the young man that they are the "top masters" of refining potions and that he should not offer to teach people how to swim with these pills. The young men say that they will not sell these pills to anyone, and that the master of alchemy will have to deposit something equal to the value of the pills before he can inspect them. He says that he cannot believe that the man will present the pills at the heroes' gathering. He adds that he will trade all the herbs he has for one elixir, and he will add a second elixir, the "mourning pills" that will cleanse one's entire body. The master says that the pills are worth a hundred thousand silver taels, and the one that he is buying is the "nine palace's master" . The man says that this young man is a "swindler" who is trying to get more fame by selling these pills at a price that is too high for him. He asks the master to let him have the pills, but the master refuses, saying that the two masters are not trying to rip him off, but they are using the pills to cheat money. The potion is clearly a miracle, he says, and if it works, paying more than 100,000 taels is not considered expensive.
