In this chapter, we learn that the old man's magic points are sealed, and that he's not as good as he thinks he is. He's got 103 points sealed, but they're all entry-level points, so they can be easily opened. First, he needs to infuse his magic into the old master's primordial spirit. Then, he'll use his magic to pull out the part of his primordial spirit that's desperately retracting from his body. It's hard for him to do this, because the old sage's part of the spirit is so weak that he can't pull it out. But he plans to use it to support himself, since he doesn't yet know what it is. The old sage has cast a spell without warning, and it's been five years since the last time he cast it. This time, he has to summon his eldest disciple and fight, so he didn't have time to warn his old master about the upcoming battle. He needs to know what's going on, and he wants to say hello to his master.
