The chapter opens with a discussion of the family's reaction to Ching Xing's visit to the 100 treasures pavilion. The family is shocked to learn that Ching yun has gone to the pavilion with the intention of refining pills for himself. Ching sais that the family has no allies in the city, and that Ching Yun's cultivation is already "tempered body eight heavens" . He also warns the family not to worry too much about the martial houses' selection, since they can still request the martial house to tamper with the results of the selection process. He says that if they continue to leave the family as is, they will have a bad effect on the future of the city.
