The teacher tells the young man that his soul rings have changed from five to one gray soul ring. The young man is intrigued by the change in his soul, and the teacher sends people to find out where he is and who he is in contact with. When they arrive at the hotel, they find out that he is a member of the Xishui alliance, and that he has been involved in the killing of people in the Golden Hall. He also tells them that he wants to take all of the rare metals and money from the underground world. He tells the boy that his real purpose is not to get rich, but to get inside the holy spirit sect. He says that he can still control what he is doing, and he can go if he wants, unless he dies. The teacher says that ghosh magic can be evil, but that it is related to death, corpses, and souls. He warns the boy not to fall into the darkness, because it will destroy him.
