The chapter opens with the narrator explaining that he can enter the Hall of the Five Elements after he submits five million fantasy points to the system. He tells the reader that only three people were needed when he first acquired the iron ticket, and that now six more people are required. He explains that he is waiting for a group of 10 people to enter the hall, but that the hall will only open when there are those 10. The narrator then explains that the five elements are not based on any particular code, but are the result of a great deal of practice. He points out that the man refining the mountain is using the water element's power, which belongs to his ring finger. The method he is using to refine the mountain looks like the "secret technique" of the ji-family, which has never been passed on to anyone outside of the family. He wonders how the man is able to refine a mountain that is so magnetic, and how he can even practice the ji's secret technique. He then points out how difficult it is to channel the five powers within his palm. He says that it is more worth his time if he sharpens the abilities he already knows so that he will work better with the ji family.
