The monk tells the young man that if he becomes the ink qilin, he will be able to enjoy his life to the fullest. He also tells him that he is not a hero, but a nobody. He adds that he has made two additions to his life: he wants to be healthy forever, and he wishes to sleep all day. The monk explains that he will not be as dangerous to the east as he imagines, because all the patron saints are looking out for his safety. He explains that even if the horn of the qilin is cut off, it will still live. If someone crosses him, they will be punished.
