Old Lu dragged Mo Wen through the forest, claiming he was searching for opportunities for Mo Wen to train. However, such places were not easy to find, and the two continued on their way.
With Old Lu around, Mo Wen rarely had the chance to fight. Most Demon Beasts would flee at the mere hint of Old Lu's overwhelming presence, leaving only a few unruly ones for him to educate.
After successfully entering the Refining Spirit Realm, Mo Wen regained his confidence and no longer believed he had wasted his potential. However, due to the lack of suitable Refining Spirit materials, his progress was slow. He could only hone his skills through various extreme environments like volcanoes, ice mountains, and Deep Water Pools.
Sitting cross-legged on a large stone by the river, he wasn't practicing but staring blankly at the Dahe River before him. After a period of training, Old Lu brought him back to the small wooden cabin. According to Old Lu, Mo Wen had reached a bottleneck; continuing to train would be futile. It was better to return and enjoy life—drinking, eating meat, and sleeping—perhaps this would help him break through his limitations. Now he hoped for some chance encounter that would accelerate his training speed because he longed for strength.
One night, Old Lu woke Mo Wen from his sleep.
“Mo, your opportunity has come,” he said.
“What opportunity?” Mo Wen's eyes lit up at the mention of an opportunity. His time with Old Lu had been fruitful; as Old Lu put it, he was just short of scraping the ground clean.
“Let’s go; I’ll take you to Long Experience.” With that, Old Lu picked up Mo Wen and set off.
An hour later, they stood atop a mountain peak. Old Lu had already retracted his "aura," returning to the appearance of an old man on the street. Looking down into a nearby valley, they saw a peculiar grove of trees. Under the moonlight, it was clear that this grove was entirely different from its surroundings; all the trees were blood red—their trunks and leaves exuding a faint Blood Light. Following this light, Blood-colored Mist began to rise from the grove, thickening and spreading outward while releasing a strong Blood Stench that attracted nearby Beasts rushing into the valley to confront the mist. As the mist enveloped them, the Beasts vanished as if swallowed whole. The sounds of their roars echoed from within the mist until gradually fading away, while the trees tainted by the mist turned blood red.
Staring at the scene in the valley, Mo Wen was astonished; such a peculiar grove existed in this world! Sensing Mo Wen's surprise, Old Lu began explaining: “This is Red Tree, a type of Chimera that does not move. It preys on nights of a full moon. Since it cannot move, its hunting is limited to a certain range; simply avoid entering its hunting ground.”
“So many Chimeras! That's terrifying!”
“No, there’s only one Chimera here; you can tell just by looking.”
The slaughter in the valley continued as the moon rose higher in the sky. The roars gradually faded away while the blood mist retreated towards the center of the grove. Rather than retreating, it seemed to be drawn toward a particularly vibrant tree at its center. This tree stood out brightly against its surroundings but was much smaller than its neighbors. If one did not observe closely or notice its vivid color, they might easily overlook its existence.
