"Get up, today you came to see me, and since I have received your gifts, I naturally cannot let you leave empty-handed. How about this: I'll give you some little trinkets to play with?"
"No, we don't want your things, Uncle."
"Oh? Then what do you want?"
"We don't want anything. We want you to teach us something. Our parents learned from you, and we want to learn too."
"What do you want to learn?"
"I want to learn..." The five children chattered excitedly about what they wanted to learn.
"I see. The things you want to learn, Uncle can't teach you because he doesn't know them either. How about I teach you a set of boxing techniques today?"
"Okay!" The five children replied in unison. Mo Wen could only pass on his soft and gentle boxing style to the kids. Eventually, at their request, he also taught them the Sword Technique from the Dao Jing. To his surprise, the children learned quickly; after teaching them two or three times, they had it down. Watching the five kids practice earnestly, Mo Wen felt that this village was far from as simple as it appeared. The houses were neat, the villagers were honest but had strict teachings.
"Li Yue, you mischievous child! What brings you here to disturb Uncle?" A voice came from outside; it was Er Zhuzi's wife. After some pleasantries, the group of children was taken away, and Mo Wen tidied up to prepare for his outing. Today he had promised Erniu and the others that he would take them into the mountains to gather spices.
This time, Erniu brought along around forty or fifty people, including the village healer. A large group set out from the village, and on the way, Erniu made a request to Mo Wen: this time they would gather only one type of spice each and bring it back for Mo Wen to identify. The village healer followed closely beside Mo Wen to record everything. Mo Wen understood Erniu's arrangement; it was to ensure that after he left, these people would know how to find these spices. Of course, the healer volunteered to come along; having heard that Mo Wen had studied medicine under a master, he wanted to learn some pharmacology from him as well. The group began a thorough search in the mountains.
...
"Brother Erniu, I noticed that the children in this village have great potential, but I haven't seen any place for them to practice. Do you know why?" Sitting by the fire pit, Mo Wen recalled the children from earlier that morning; their understanding was excellent, yet the strongest among them had only reached the Refining Body Realm, while the boy named Li Yue hadn't even started Refining Body yet.
"Sigh! This is quite embarrassing..." When it came to the children's training issues, he had a lot of grievances. For Kao Shu Village, both Kung Fu and resources were troubling problems for them. However, that wasn't the main issue; what troubled them most was the environment for training. The Warrior Stage required many auxiliary measures to strengthen both body and Shen Hun, and setting up such a training environment required costs that were astronomical for Kao Shu Village at present.
"In fact, creating a training place isn't as difficult as you might think. If we can't make something complex and advanced, we can start with some basic facilities and gradually improve..." Mo Wen remembered how Old Lu had arranged a Refining Body environment for him and shared his thoughts with Erniu and others. Although Kao Shu Village couldn't create something as grand as Old Lu's setup due to their limited resources, they could still manage a smaller version. They all agreed that once they returned to the village, they would start working on it. As for Kung Fu and resources along with more advanced training environments, they would have to take it step by step as Mo Wen suggested. This quiet little village that had remained dormant for thousands of years was about to undergo its transformation.
