The next morning, the group runs with weights to prepare for the next day's competition. They're carrying 25 kilograms, which is a lot, but they're still only carrying 15. They have to train their bodies to keep up with their soul force, which means they'll have to work even harder. They talk about how rich they are, and then they tell each other about a new use for purple mist grass that they've just heard about. It's been used by the director of the orchid institute, and she's gotten a lot of compliments on how beautiful she looks. The herb requires three years to mature, so it's a waste of money. The group also tells each other that the person who offered them the most money made a big offer on the herb, but he didn't sell it to them yet. The market price of the herb has gone up, and the rumor is that the sacred family will be offering 300 demon coins for each pound of purple-mist grass. They sell 10,000 pounds of it through the pharmacy today to noble wives, but the demand isn't there yet.
