In this chapter, we learn that the tianyuan people live in the mountains, and that the ninth young master of the sect does not care about the number of followers left in the small sect. He does not want to fight with the other sects in the competition because he is afraid that he will lose money if his inn is destroyed. He is also afraid of losing money if he is forced to leave the inn. The narrator tells the story of a female sword-civulator named jiangnianlan, who was seventeen when she won first place at the competition fifteen years ago. She is the daughter of a general and a princess, and her parents have recommended her to a chaplain to learn how to practice sword fighting. She was in the "foundation phase" when she was five years old, and the "stupeor phase" at the ripe old age of eight. Her father is a general, her mother is a princess and her younger brother is twelve years old. Her parents have entrusted the chaplain to teach her how to cultivate, and she has been practicing sword fighting for fifteen years.
