In this chapter, the young man is introduced to the concept of a "spellcaster." A spellcaster is a person who uses their spiritual energy to create new attributes for an object. A real spellcaster, on the other hand, can use their energy for anything they want. The young man tells the old man that he wants to become a spellcaster. The old man tells him that the two rich men are still in the city, and that they are sorry to be rude to him. He tells the man that if he had a relationship with the rich man, he could learn about talismans, but that he still has the secret of the stone that he possesses. If he were to go to the man and ask for the stone, the man would not let him go. The man is sorry to say no, but he says that he barely has a talent. He says that the man should stop staring at him as if he is stupid, and he promises to give him the "book of heavenly movements" in case the man wants to learn more about spiritual power. He also says that if the man wanted to learn about the book someday, he should not bother looking for him in the store, since it is not that great. He adds that he will go back home to discuss the matter with his parents, and then he will return to the city. The price of iron wood has dropped by at least 305 in the past few days, and the man is worried that the price will continue to drop. He thanks his grandfather for getting 32 yuan from his deal, and gives five yuan to him as a reward. He thinks that the "heavenly movements" book will help him in his quest for spiritual power
