In this chapter, we learn that taobao is the master of his own pupil, and that he has mastered the art of distinguishing martial crystals from ordinary ones. He has learned to distinguish between a tree trunk and a rare treasure, and he has also learned how to use his pupil's technique to identify the martial crystals in the trunk. The martial crystals are not ordinary ones, but rather ancient ones, and the little ball catches up to him and discovers that they are ancient treasures worth millions of crystals. The little ball realizes that the trunk is not an ancient treasure but a mass of "nothingness," which is like nothing that exists. He buys the trunk, which is worth at least half a million martial crystals. He also learns that the ancient treasure belongs to the holy master of Bei-dou, who is in the process of opening the tomb of zhan-tian, the ancient master of the Holy Land. This holy master is the same holy master who defeated the original master of holy land in battle, and who replaced him with a new holy master. The holy master's name is "arrogant brat," and he must now hand over his martial crystals or else he will be killed.
