The chapter opens with a description of the city of Ibaraki, which is in the southern part of the Kingdom of China. There are three families with powerful martial spirit powers, but none is as strong as the Xue family, who has been the city's lord for decades. The family is the only one that can compete with the other two families in terms of military power. The narrator tells us that the family has been ruling the city for so long that it's not difficult for them to train other people to do the same. The master of the family is so powerful that he can't even tell the pharmacist that the red lotus pill is no better than a solid pill. He's just at the top of his class. He tells the pharmacist not to worry, because he'll always be a member of the xi-lan kingdom. The old man then tells the man that he's already done a great service to the temple, and that he should do it again. He also tells him that he heard that the son of the old man is getting married, and the temple wants him to invite all of the powers of the tribe to the wedding feast. He says that if he doesn't do it, the tribe will die after a day.
