In the meantime, the elder brother, the Senior taoist, is trying to keep the spirit of taoism alive. He tells his younger brother, who is still wandering around the city, to hide and wait for dawn. The elder brother tells him to take out all of the "pure essences" that he gave him. He says that if he takes them back, he'll die. He also says that the marks on the essences are "yangming academy" , meaning that they were given to him by the master of the academy. He explains that he just used the best local materials to make the purest possible use of them. He's worried that the Master of the Academy will be worried if he learns that the elder's younger brother is really his brother, but the elder says that he's going to help him gather the purest essences that he can. He asks the Master to meet him at the gate of the city before dawn, and they'll discuss the remuneration when they return. The Master says that everyone in the city has been "killed by fairies" . He gives his name as "lucao" and says that it's his blood that's the best medicine for fairies. He names his elder brother as "qing xuzi" and calls him his senior brother.
