Old Lu had no way to convince him, so he had to take him to find the Demon Beast, hoping to demonstrate everything through strength.
"Old Lu, is this Demon Beast you found for me really weak? It seems much easier to deal with than that bear from before."
"You know it well enough; do you think Old Man would lie to you?"
"That's true. According to the Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram, it is indeed supposed to be stronger than that bear. So, I guess I have become stronger. But the Nine Cauldrons Nine Tripods inside me are indeed gone."
"Old Man has traveled the world for many years and has never seen someone like you who has wasted their training yet become stronger. Moreover, you can still practice Kung Fu." Old Lu felt an urge to strangle this stubborn kid. For some time now, this kid had been obsessing over this issue, and no matter what he said, it was useless. "Go back and see if you can enter the next Realm. If you can, then you must stop dwelling on this issue and never mention your Refining Qi Realm matters to anyone again."
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Mo Wen realized he might have been too concerned about this matter. The fact that he had become stronger was undeniable; obsessing over the changes in his Dan Tian seemed a bit misplaced.
"Old Lu, even though I look like this now, I once achieved the Nine Cauldrons Nine Tripods... about that wine..."
"Old Man forgives you for that..." Old Lu didn't want to get tangled up in these issues anymore. Besides, he knew that wine was hard to come by; it took years to produce just a pound, let alone asking Mo Wen for so much.
Hearing Old Lu agree to waive his debt of wine, Mo Wen felt much happier, thinking at least he had resolved the issue of owing wine. He then asked Old Lu about the Refining Spirit Realm. "Old Lu, can you tell me about the Refining Spirit Realm?"
"Fine, hurry up and enter the Refining Spirit Realm; Old Man could use some peace. In this world of cultivation, it all revolves around Vitality. Warriors refine Essence, Qi, and Spirit; Cultivators also cultivate Vitality. The only difference lies in the level of cultivation and understanding of Vitality. Whether a warrior or a cultivator, they refine themselves rather than external things. The Warrior Stage refines Vitality; Refining Body, Refining Qi, and Refining Spirit are all part of Refining Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Essence is the foundation of a person—tangible and substantial; Qi is a person's vitality—intangible yet substantial; Spirit is a person's soul—intangible and insubstantial. None of these three can be absent; without Essence, one cannot exist; without Qi, one cannot live; without Spirit, there is no soul. The refiner strengthens them; the Cultivator transforms them.
When one reaches a very high Realm, they can temporarily forgo one of the three without dying—but the cost is extremely high. You should understand that much." Old Lu didn’t care whether he understood or not; after taking a sip of wine, he continued: "Spirit is the hardest of the three to cultivate because it is intangible and insubstantial yet truly exists. The Spirit grows as a person ages but begins to fade after reaching a certain level; when the Spirit completely fades away, that person is done for. Refining Spirit is essentially honing one's spirit to make it stronger. There are legends of beings whose spirits do not perish even if their bodies die, which shows how important a strong Spirit is. Refining Spirit also has three stages: Nurturing Spirit, Hammer God, and Refining Spirit—nurturing makes it large, hammering makes it solid, refining makes it pure.
There are many methods for Refining Spirit in this world, broadly categorized into two types: one type cultivates one's own spirit slowly; the second type absorbs other spirits to strengthen one's own spirit. For instance, there is a Kung Fu style that practices by devouring others' spirits—this method is faster than the first but is condemned by society as it goes against nature; those who practice such Kung Fu are viewed as practitioners of evil."
