The next morning, Lin tells wukong that he has sensed a "strong aura of death" from the encounter with the ghost. Lin says that he will take the girl's "yin's energy" to increase his own life span and become stronger. Lin also says that she has been having strange dreams, and that she thinks they will be separated soon. Lin asks if he can find her and bring her back home. He says he must prepare himself to protect her. He asks for nine pieces of primordial spiritual energy, which contains a tiny amount of energy.
