This chapter's epigraph is from the opening lines of Act IV, Scene 1 of the novel. It's a quote from the novel's opening lines: "There aren't very many opportunities to achieve body forging with thunder and lightning like this. You better endure it" . This is a reference to the fact that lightning and thunder are very painful, and that's why it's so important for you to endure them. In other words, if you're going to be a body-builder, you better be able to endure the pain. This guy is addicted to body- forging, and he's been in the mountains for half an hour. He says he'll go on a hunt for monsters to eat, but first he needs to rest. He asks who taught him how to fight, and the guy says he was a middle-sixth-rank martial artist. He doesn't know the guy's name, but he knows that his name is "hao tian" , which means "far from home" in Chinese. He also says that his physique is "quite special" and that he uses the pharmacopoeia to heal himself. He tells the guy that in 10 days, he will break into martial arts.
