This chapter's epigraph is from a poem called "The Little Turtle," which describes a man refining a spirit pill. In this poem, the man is described as a "peculiar and arrogant" man who is obsessed with refining a "perfect pill." The man's "little turtle" is a metaphor for the pills, which will last for thousands of years. The price of the pill is 500 spirits stones, which is already a "sky-high price" for a single pill. The man is determined to win the pill, and he offers 3,000 spirit stones.
