In this world, the cultivation of children is taken very seriously. Even in the most ordinary mortal families, tests are conducted when children reach the age of three or four. If they meet the requirements for cultivation, they are allowed to apprentice under a master. Even if they cannot cultivate, by the age of five or six, they will still establish a foundation. How Mo Wen acquired his skills left Old Lu puzzled. Could it be that the old man wanted him to find this kid? However, when he later asked Zi Shi, the old man simply stopped responding. Whether it was true or not no longer mattered; his curiosity about Mo Wen only grew. If it weren't for the old man's instruction to "not interfere too much," he would have considered taking Mo Wen under his wing for proper guidance. As for whether what he was doing now contradicted the old man's words, he believed it did not. 0
 
After a month of arduous training, he finally achieved minor success in speed. The effectiveness of the "Shen Su Jing" was indeed remarkable; with just minor success, he could already move nearly ninety zhang in a single leap. If he reached full mastery, it would surely exceed a hundred zhang, and now his movements could even create afterimages. He wondered what level he could reach if he trained to perfection. Every time Mo Wen tested his progress, he would exhaust all his inner strength or push his body to its limits before stopping. He referred to this as stimulating his potential. 0
 
After two months of continuous training, Mo Wen decided to give himself a break, which aligned with Old Lu's advice of "balancing work and rest." However, without training, he could not escape the fate of labor; cooking was unavoidable. After a hearty meal, the two lounged around lazily, one lying down and the other sitting. 0
 
“Mo, this is prepared for you,” Old Lu casually tossed a bag to Mo Wen. Catching it, he realized it was a storage space bag similar to the magical storage treasures used by Old Lu, though this one was more common and usable by martial artists as well. It was meant for storing personal items and was considered one of the most basic types of storage devices. 0
 
Mo Wen opened the bag to find several sets of clothing, some pills, talismans, and a wooden plaque. He looked at Old Lu in confusion; had the old man finally come around? He had asked many times for a storage bag before but had never received one. Why was he suddenly given one now, and what was with the contents? 0
 
“Don’t look at me like that, Old Man. We might need to leave here at any moment. If you go out wearing those leather clothes of yours, you’ll attract attention,” Old Lu explained. “As for that plaque, it's your Identity Tag.” 0
 
Mo Wen pulled out the plaque; it felt metallic and sturdy despite being made of wood. The front bore three characters: "He Er Gou." Seeing those characters made Mo Wen twitch his lips; it seemed Old Lu still remembered the name he had given him back then. However, he said nothing—after all, it was just a false identity. The back of the plaque featured an exquisite double cloud emblem that Mo Wen recognized as the symbol of the Lianyun Kingdom. 0
 
“From now on, you are He Er Gou, an orphan and a herbalist who gathers medicine in the mountains in Lianyun Kingdom. You should temporarily stop using your name Mo Wen outside; don’t ask why—Old Man will tell you in due time. Do you have any questions?” 0
 
“Old Lu, does this mean trouble is coming?” 0
 
“No.” 0
 
“Then why do we need to leave?” 0
 
“It’s leaving, not escaping! With my strength, do I need to run away? Besides, it's better to be prepared than caught off guard.” Old Lu bristled; how could it be called escaping? Even if it were true, it shouldn't be phrased that way. 0
 
“Can you get me a larger capacity storage device? I have many more things to store.” 0
