The three immortals discuss the increasing number of humans, and how they often have to sacrifice good luck and wealth in order to live long in the afterlife. The three brothers have been working harder than ever before, and their energy is limited. There is a way to reduce their work pressure, and the old man can demonstrate it. The old man sends money, and then the immortals give him one year of his life. The immortals are so touched by this gift that they give it to him for free.
