The chapter opens with a discussion between the father and son about whether or not they should go back to Mongolia. The father tells the son that he'll have to take care of his third sister, who's still in seclusion. The son tells the father that he doesn't know how long the lianyun system will last, and that he hopes that when he grows up, the father will be able to let him enjoy his life. He also tells his father that the sixth brother, tan yu, is still a kid, so he should forgive him for going too far today. The elder brother tells the younger brother that he can't think of anything to do, since he's about to break into the taoist realm. The younger brother tells him that he has a first-rate mushroom pill, which he can use to protect his brother. The older brother says that the medicine valley is just outside of the master's normal residence, and he wants to make sure that sixth brother can pass through safely in three days.
