Si says that he has underestimated the strength of his opponent's internal energy. Si admits that his meridians have been blocked, and wonders if the northern butterfly's acupuncture skill will work. Si points out that his own meridians are blocked, as well, and says that if they used an elixir together with other herbs, it might be possible to heal Si's legs. Si asks if he knows how to refine an elixir, and Si replies that he does, but that he also has medicinal vessels and herbs that he can use to refine his own elixirs. Si suggests that Si and Si try his idea of using an elixir to treat Si, but Si says he'll have to check it out first.
