This is the time before he transmigrates back to the mainland. He tells his brother that he can't talk about the yuechan or gong sunzhi with him because it's a matter of speculation on his own. He asks if there are any monsters nearby, and his brother tells him that he actually ran out by himself to look for them. He says that he's not worried about that, since there is still time for him to improve his strength. He also asks if he can use soul power to raise his current level. The answer is yes, he can, but he needs to spend 3 points of soul power in order to get up to the fifth stage of refinement. This is a big deal, because it means that he doesn't have to rely on experience points to get to the next level. He's able to do this because soul power is so powerful. He compares his current strength to a python, which is considered to be a pretty powerful monster. He thinks that his strength is stronger than the python's, so he can easily shoot down the python using his skill.
