In this chapter, we learn that alchemy is a class of martial arts that can be used to destroy enemies. Lin rufeng asks if he should use the cultivation method that he learned earlier. Lin says that if he had, he would have killed him and fawned on his master with his head. Lin is surprised that Lin would kill him with his own head, but he says that Lin is worth following. Lin tells Lin that he is sorry that he did not come to meet him, but that spectral valley is not as old as it used to be.
