Hsimen Chui-hsueh captures Tu Qing-tian and takes him to Wan Mei Mansion and upon arrival finds the Incense Swordsman attacking the others. The Incense Swcordsman retreats but Shou-ching is alreadyseriously wounded. Hsimen decides to take Shou-ching to Hua Yueh-liu for treatment while Luk takes Tu to Shaolin School.

Yueh-liu remarks that only the Thousand Year Ginseng of Tien Shan can save Shou-ching. Hsimen thus carries Shou-ching and burries his way day and night to Tien Shan.

On the way to Shaolin School Luk spends the night at a village couple's home and Tu manages to slip away.

Hsimen comes across an incompetent doctor who offers to sell Thousand Year Ginseng to him. Hsimen quickly gives it to Shou-ching but she becomes even worse after taking it in. Hsimen discovers that it is a faked ginseng and in a rage kills the doctor. The couple thus carries on their way to Tien Shan.
