The chapter opens with a description of a fire dragon, which is believed to be the breath of a pure fire. The narrator tells us that the fire dragon is carved into the wall of a house and that no one can see it. He also tells us about how he was so confident in his abilities that he did not use a bright sun blade against the demon woman. He says that if he had used the sun blade, she would not have defeated him. He tells the story of how he left all his skills to his confidential apprentice, who is now about to graduate. He asks the apprentice what he's going to do after he leaves, and the apprentice says that he'll go to ice-cold snow city to visit his old master. The master tells him to go to the two famous restaurants in the city, dacheng and feng-ting, and learn from them. He warns the apprentice that once he shows his true cooking ability, he will have to leave the city in no time, and that he will be in trouble. The Master tells the apprentice to eat his fill today, and he tells him that he caught two big fish. He's afraid that he won't have time to wait for his fish stew, but the Master says that as a chef, it's more painful to be able to cook a dish that you've learned by yourself. He hopes that the apprentice will become the best chef ever.
