As soon as he hears that the fire poison is within his body, Linyan curses the newcomer. He asks if he can remove the poison from his body for the exchange of a stalk. Linyan tells the newcomer that he can cure the disease by washing his body with cold spirit broth. He says that he will never use suspicious people and will not ask them questions when he has use for them. The next day, he says, he will continue to go to the arena to train with the boulder sect.
