In this chapter, we learn how to make a new xiaohua using the "man-making" technique. We learn that the butterfly found the object that she hid, and that means that all of the techniques in this chapter are real too. This means that she can use the "object-searching" technique to make an even better copy of her brother's body. She uses a dark room, a large tank, and a special kind of incense to make the body of the man she's about to imitate. She fills the tank with raw meat and medicinal herbs, and then uses a special "venation-based poison" called "gold silkworm" to poison the body for 39 days. She tells her sister that the raw meat she bought has already been frozen, so it's okay to put the gu in the tank now. She explains that the last ingredient in this potion is the blood of her beloved brother, who's just returned from overseas. She's so excited to see him that she signs or takes photos of him.
