In this chapter, we learn that the young man's body is a "hongmeng" in its early stages, which means that it has not yet reached the "innate realm" . This means that the "essence of homeng" , which is generated in the body, has been lost and is now distributed all over the body. The young man wonders why his body is frozen, and wonders if a cultivator would have to endure such pain. He asks his brother if it would be better for him to pass out, and his brother replies that it might be a better idea to leave the deserted yard and go to a cultivator's house.
