The chapter opens with a conversation between the cat and the monk. The cat asks the monk if he feels better after cultivating his foundation. The monk replies that he does not feel better, as he is not sure that the battle is over. He tells the cat that he is the best healer, and that his sister helps him with his "recharge." The cat is amazed at the monk's kindness, and wonders why he did not use his hammer to knock the animal out. The animal asks if it can recover, and he tells the monk that it is a "spiritual beast" that needs to be brought back and trained to be a companion. He says that once the kitten has been trained as a companion, he will sell the kitten as a pet, and the kitten he helps with breeding will be a good price. He picks the leaves of the jiagio tree, which are medicinal and can be used for medicinal wine. He wonders why there is someone in front of him, and asks if they are trying to tell him where the tree is. He realizes that they made a mistake in thinking that he was a dangerous animal.
