The chapter begins with the Grand Elder abruptly sending the younger Plum Blossom Swordsmen to the dangerous Windless Valley for intense training, emphasizing the need to focus solely on mastering their sword technique. He offers them harsh yet encouraging advice rooted in Taoist principles. Later, the Grand Elder engages in humorous exchanges with a persistent disciple who tries to name a new fist technique after himself, before eventually shifting his focus to the first-class disciples where he criticizes their small numbers and lack of knowledge on the Plum Blossom Sword Formation before he offers to teach them.
