In this chapter, we are introduced to the new master of the snake family, who tells his followers that he is about to become "a gifted male lead" . He tells them that he has found a way to keep the spirits of everything in his body, and that this will enable him to become a "master of the elixir field" , which means that he will be able to gather all the spirits in one place and "condense" them into a "mass of assembled spirits." The master explains that this means he can become a male lead, but that women should not be afraid of him because he is too nice to them. The master then tells the story of the cemetery, which was built in 1988. The cemetery has nearly 30 graves, and the master plans to start teaching his followers the "blood brush charm" of the liu family .
