In this chapter, we learn that the "earth's core" is made from the combination of various medicinal plants and the Earth Spirit pill. It's as though something is inside of it, and that's why it's so healing and healing like it is. The only problem is that the pill doesn't work on the forehead, which is why the Queen is so worried about it. In fact, she's worried about her own health, because the pill is supposed to make her lose weight. She's also worried about the fact that the tower that was supposed to be rebuilt a year ago has to be re-built again, because one of the two of them has to eat the other's body to get rid of the body's "fallen heart flame" . The elder says that he'll think about a way to seal the body beneath the tower so that it can't be consumed by the other. He also tells us that the Black Alliance has surrounded the academy and that their leader, Xiao li, has formed a black alliance to seize the heart flame. He's been trying to kill the elder ever since.
