Worried that the seal is weakening, Duan-tianyu asks Lin-he is the mayor's servant-to wait for him to remove the seal. Lin is calm and says that he will always be loyal to the mayor. He tells lao-gu that he has only removed 10 percent of the seal, which is why he is exhausted three days later. Worried about the seal's weakening, he asks lun-yu to give him his weapon and become his servant. He says that if he does not do so, he will lose his cultivation accomplishments. He asks wu-kong if he can handle gold dust, which sounds familiar to him. Unsure of what he should do, he tells lin-he will give him the gold when he completes his mission. He also tells lun that he can detect the seal with this token.
