After carefully organizing his thoughts, he realized that he hadn't overlooked anything and began to focus on his cultivation. Although it was called cultivation, it was essentially just a review of his previous training. Even though Old Lu claimed that his foundation was solid, he decided to double-check to confirm there were no issues. If there were any problems, he would consult Old Lu in a timely manner; after all, he might not have such a good opportunity again, as the days spent with Old Lu were numbered.
He hoped to enter the Qi Binding Realm before parting ways with Old Lu. However, just like before, no matter how hard he practiced in the Speed Realm, he always fell short by a little. Eventually, he gave up, realizing that haste makes waste; perhaps taking a good rest would lead to a breakthrough. He began studying the Dao Jing and practicing talisman crafting. Since he lacked materials for crafting talismans, he could only carve on stones. After several days, the stones and tree trunks in the forest bore either knife marks or twisted drawings that looked like ghostly symbols. As for talisman crafting, Mo Wen was currently only focused on achieving a semblance of form; whether he could actually create one would depend on having materials to test it out. He had some talismans given by Old Lu, which should last him until he exited the forest if used sparingly. However, he did not wish to pursue the path of talisman crafting because Old Lu had warned him that it was a path to a short life. If it weren't for the fact that talismans were crucial for him at this moment and that Old Lu mentioned a future realm involving knowledge of talismans, he wouldn't even bother contemplating it.
...
"Mo, once we get out of here, don't mention Old Man's name," they stood at Gourd Mouth, watching the rushing river below.
"Why not?"
"Because you might get beaten up. Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Mo Wen was taken aback by Old Lu's sudden question.
"To escape, of course!"
"I'm ready."
"Good. Stay back and act according to the situation; Old Man will distract her."
"Won't she notice me?"
"No, Old Man's presence has concealed yours. Just keep your distance to avoid getting caught up in it."
...
"They're coming! Quickly hide!" Old Lu looked at the rushing river. Mo Wen knew who was approaching but didn't know from where. Hearing Old Lu's words, Mo Wen quickly picked up Xiao Hei and jumped off the stone, running into the woods. As he ran, he glanced back at Old Lu; it seemed Old Lu sensed Mo Wen's hesitation.
"Mo, when you have the strength one day, come to Bai Long City to find Old Man." The voice of Old Lu reached his ears. No longer hesitating, Mo Wen dashed into the woods. After running about ten miles, his initial doubts were gradually replaced by curiosity; he was eager to know who exactly Old Lu's nemesis was since Old Lu had been reluctant to reveal it before. He stopped, took a deep breath, and decided to go back for a look. Moving stealthily, he stopped three miles away from Old Lu and found a large tree to climb with Xiao Hei. The tree's position allowed him to see where he and Old Lu had been standing earlier. After entering the Transcendence Stage, both his vision and hearing had significantly improved; from this distance, he could clearly see what was happening with Old Lu and even hear their conversation—though anything further away was just out of earshot. Most importantly, if they did end up fighting, he shouldn't be caught in the crossfire. He had confidence in Old Lu's strength; if Old Lu didn't mention his presence, it meant everything was fine.
