In this chapter, we learn that the master of the cloud hall, Luozheng, is learning to make the art of "runes," a form of meditation. The master, also known as the "blue dragon," has come to see the master, who is a disciple of the "son of runes." The two men exchange pleasantries, and the master shows the master the rune that he has made with the supplies he bought the day before. The blue dragon is amazed at the master's skill, but he also warns the master not to use the art as a means of self-expression, as it is not suited for people like him. He asks the master if he has faith in him, but the master replies that he does not have faith in the master. He also points out that it is impossible for the master to "activate any pattern that he casually drew." The master is astonished at the "perfect brushwork" that the blue dragon has made. He has been trying to reach this level for half a lifetime, but no one in the entire area can do it now.
