In the middle of the battle, the pill king enters. He tells the young man that he is the disciple of his master and that his army has been defeated on the border. The pill king tells him that the remaining forces of the chu yilin empire have retreated long ago, and that even if he were to die, he would not be better than him in fighting. The young man says that he has obtained the medical formula for the "spirit fusion pill" and that if he gets the seven-spirit potion, he will win the battle. He says that the prize money has been taken from him by the guild master because he helped him too much, but that he will return soon to fulfill his promise. He asks the young men to conduct themselves with dignity, but they refuse to do so, and he goes back to see his grandfather.
