In this chapter, we learn that the inner pupils of the academy are the only ones who can destroy the array of pure essences in the storeroom. In other words, they are the ones who have the power to steal the essences from the other pupils. This is the first time that we've seen this kind of thing happening in the novel. The narrator is amazed at the courage of the inner pupil. He thinks that the dead old man must have done such a terrible thing. He wonders if brother lucao will die badly. He also wonders if he will be able to help his brother escape from the academy. After many years, he has returned to the human world. This time, he doesn't have his brother by his side. He tells his brother that he wants to have his own sound spirit, and that he also wants to pass the boundary between the two worlds so that he can gather the same energy as everyone else. He promises that he will help him. He explains that he and his brother both went to the other side of the world, and they came back safely. He says that he saw a taoism talisman in the body of qiuluo, and he was injured trying to save her. It seems that the talisman was in her body a long time ago, and she would have died if she hadn't had another weird energy to suppress it. But now, he says, he can't even reverse the talisman because his senior brother can only do so with the help of the fairy energy. He asks why his brother is fine, and says that if he had known, he would have laughed at her.
