The next morning, Mingyang tells the gang that he's resolved the problem with Mingyang. Mingyang says that if Mingyang hadn't returned, he'd have spent the rest of Mingyang's life in a "nightmare." Mingyang then tells his brother-in-law that he plans to return to his grandfather's birthday celebration in two months. He says that his grandfather wants him to bring his wife back to the celebration so that he can spend the birthday with his family. He also says that he needs to get to the "foundation building stage" as fast as possible. He's been taking a "spirit enhancing pill" to help him with his spiritual awakening. The pill has already boosted him to the ninth realm of the "qi gathering realm" . He wonders why he always feels like there's an evil presence in the room. He wants Mingyang to show himself to him so that Mingyang doesn't have to run away. He tells Mingyang that he has noticed the same evil spirit in the city of xiangjiang as well as in Luo town the night before, and Mingyang is on the lookout for them. The fifth victim of the evil spirit was found a few seconds after Mingyang left the city, and the fifth victim's cause of death was acute myocardial infarction. The evil spirit is attacking Mingyang and his family from the tree, so Mingyang has to take a "bam shield talisman" to protect himself.
