Synopsis :

An is a poor, lazy man. His wife asks him to seek help from an old Taoist priest who lives in a nearby mountain. The priest is believed to have remarkable ability. Later, with a pellet given by the priest, An turns copper successfully into gold in front of his greedy wife. She urges him to ask the priest for more pellets. When the priest refuses, An ignores his warning and chops off his hands and legs. He then takes all his pellets. In the end, An pays a high price for his evildoing.
