In this short scene, Lingshan is introduced to her master, who is also known as "Master liang." He is an alchemist, a person who uses magic to create objects. He is also the son of a famous alchemist, and he has been trained in the art of alchemy by his father. He has a letter from his father, saying that he wishes to become an alchemist. He tells Lingshan that he will not take her as an apprentice unless she meets his requirements. He also tells her that if she wants to become his apprentice, then she should come with him. He says that he is happy that they are leaving, since his matter has not yet been solved. Lingshan thinks that Master liang is in a great mood today, and that he can give him some perks. He then says that if anyone wants him to forge an alchemist's weapon, he will raise the question. He asks Lingshan why he is still there, and she says that she cannot afford to offend him. She then tells him that he must wait for his auras to be strong enough for him to engrave varied runs, talismans, and magical circles into weapons. He explains that his aura is strong enough to turn ordinary weapons into philosopher's weapons.
