Now that everyone has agreed on the terms of the bargain, the wizard sends the ring to shengwang as promised. He tells the two elders that he will start working on the ring now. He hopes that the three-sword sword will help them escape from the land of exile. He says that he is certain that the young man will destroy the altar, return safely, and then go back to his clans. The wizard says that entering the palace would have inflicted him with "erosion from curse energy" and that entering would have taken him "several months" to recover. He then says that the grey palace is easy to break and that they might be able to get out in two days. He wonders if the wizard has encountered any trouble. He asks if there are any signs of spiritual aura in the palace. He exclaims that there are two "king realm alchemy puppets" and wonders if they might kill him. The two alchemy puppets are only around the king realm and have no consciousness. They are not even alive, he exclaims, but he can still fight them. He thinks that he killed one of the alchemy puppets and that there were two.
