The innkeeper complains that he has to spend all day at the inn because of the high cost of the treatment. He asks the innkeeper to help him off the cart, but the innkeeper refuses, saying that he is the chief steward of the west ridge sect. The innkeeper tells him that the rumor is that the doctor is a wealthy one, and that he can cure diseases with the use of magical tools. He tells the innkeeper that his name is Lu, and he has been suffering from 88 injuries caused by magical tools, including a crack in his liver. He refuses to pay the innkeeper any more money, but he does offer a piece of high-quality jade if the innkeeper will take his word for it. He says that if the doctor can only heal his body, it will not be worth it.
