"I won't change my mind. I think this 'Dao Jing' is quite good. At first glance, it seems simple, but the deeper you look, the more profound it becomes."
"That's right! Even if you can't use it for combat, you can still use it for chopping vegetables and meat," Old Lu continually encouraged Mo Wen to become a "world-renowned Cook."
Hearing this, Mo Wen was initially ready to retort, but suddenly an idea struck him. He had been pondering how to practice his knife skills, and now he realized he could practice while cooking. Seeing that Mo Wen didn't engage in banter, Old Lu felt gratified—not only for Mo Wen's understanding of the 'Dao Jing,' but also because he knew his meals would improve.
In the days that followed, Mo Wen immersed himself in practicing the 'Dao Jing.' He could be seen practicing his knife techniques on the large stone at Gourd Mouth, beneath waterfalls, and throughout the woods. Naturally, Old Lu's meals improved as well; he enjoyed increasingly thinner slices of fish and finer strips of meat, which delighted him immensely. Initially, Mo Wen was concerned about what Realm he had reached in his practice of the 'Dao Jing,' but now he no longer worried about that. He believed that as long as he kept practicing, he would achieve the results he desired. To enhance his hand coordination, he borrowed a Butcher Knife from Old Lu. Watching Mo Wen so engrossed in his training, Old Lu thought he was on the verge of obsession.
"Calm your heart and mind; remain unperturbed amidst change. Free from desire and attachment, without abandonment or selfhood..." Mo Wen practiced his fist techniques in the woods, now wielding two Butcher Knives. It wasn't that he intended to create a new Sword Technique; rather, he even kept the knives by his bedside while sleeping, claiming it helped him comprehend the 'Dao Jing.'
"With a knife in your heart, even without a knife, you still possess one..." In the woods, Old Lu held a wooden stick while accompanying Mo Wen in his knife practice. Seeing Mo Wen so absorbed, he felt playful and wanted to help him advance further.
"You little rascal! Free from desire and attachment? From what I see, you're moving further away from that state! Wake up!"
"Old Xie Lu, I stand corrected; I've been too obsessed," Mo Wen replied as he sheathed his knives and bowed in gratitude.
"You've made such progress in such a short time; I'm quite pleased. But don't be greedy—cultivation should be gradual; don't rush into a wrong path." It was rare for Old Lu to be so serious, but this time Mo Wen truly risked losing himself in obsession.
"Although these are just basic techniques in the 'Dao Jing,' they are incredibly profound. If not for your reminder, I don't know how much longer I would have remained lost in it."
"Just remember that! Make sure to cook some good food to reward this old man," Old Lu quickly returned to his jovial demeanor.
"You were clamoring to reach the next Realm before; from my perspective, you should prepare yourself."
Mo Wen sat down after sheathing his knives, hoping to adjust his state as soon as possible.
To prevent himself from falling back into obsession with Sword Techniques again, Mo Wen tried to restrain himself from practicing with knives over the next few days. However, the results were not ideal; there were still several instances where he almost succumbed again. Ultimately, he decided he needed something else to distract him and recalled what Old Lu had said by the river that day. Now that he had reached full Refining Spirit Realm perfection, he could enter the next Realm—but first, he needed to adjust his state. The thought of becoming stronger upon entering Heavenly Unity Realm indeed pulled him out of his obsession with knife practice. His adjustment speed increased significantly; within just two days, he had completed his adjustment and was ready to make a deal with Old Lu.
