The narrator explains that the refining stone that is absorbing the energy of his blood is a divine stone. He explains that this stone is melting the surrounding ores of the lake. He feels giddy and wonders why the two ores aren't melting. He wonders if he's asking him to give up on the two pieces of wood that he cut himself with. The narrator is worried that little lengmo will die if he doesn't stop forging. He thinks that if he does, the entire lake will boil, and he wonders if they should go and check on him. The wind suddenly picks up, and the narrator wonders if it's a storm. He speculates that the wind is coming from the direction of a powerful thunderstorm. He concludes that the monster is probably forging weapons.
