The Master explains that even though the mud is valuable, he must keep his thoughts to himself. He compares the mud to a golden apricot tree, which was over 1,000 feet tall when it was dug up twenty years ago. When the mud came out, the Master's second uncle caught it before it could escape. The Master asks the stall owner if he wants to buy the mud. The stall owner says that he does not want to buy it for 100 divine coins, but he will sell it for a higher price. He explains that he is the owner of the stall and that he challenged the Master to a duel in the moon restaurant and got 5,000 divine coins. Now, the whole city gossips about him. He decides to put the mud in his energy center first, and then he will see what happens.
