"I think it would be more reliable for you to aspire to become a Cook, after all, you have a talent for it," Old Lu said, glancing at him sideways.
"Old Lu, please don't mention the Cook thing again. I feel that becoming a Fu Master seems more promising," Mo Wen replied, oblivious to Old Lu's expression.
"Do you think becoming a Fu Master is that easy? First, you need talent, and second, your Shen Hun must be strong enough. If anyone could become a Fu Master without effort, then wouldn't there be Fu Masters everywhere? Let me tell you, Fu Masters generally have short lives because of the nature of their craft." Seeing Mo Wen's clueless expression, Old Lu was almost ready to jump up.
"Short lives! Why is that?" Mo Wen asked in confusion.
"Didn't Old Man say it? It's because of the nature of their craft. A Fu Master's lifespan is only half that of a Cultivator of the same level. As for what causes their short lives, you can try it out yourself; perhaps once you become a Fu Master, you'll understand why they have such short lifespans."
"Then forget it. I'm still young and haven't enjoyed the prosperity and wonders of this world; I don't want to die so soon."
"Well, whether you have the talent to become a Fu Master is unknown to Old Man, but your Refining Spirit Realm training is among the best Kung Fu in the world, so your Shen Hun should be strong enough. Although it's not necessary to become a Fu Master, having more knowledge about them and talisman crafting can be beneficial. If you can refine some simple talismans yourself, that would be even better. After all, talismans are quite expensive, and those major powers only provide limited talismans to their disciples—usually just a few each year—while the consumption of talismans is significant. For instance, one-time-use talismans are gone once used, and even reusable ones weaken with each use. If you can craft them yourself, your chances of survival will increase greatly, especially when you're being hunted. Moreover, there’s a Realm in the Transcendence Stage that involves Symbol Arrays; getting familiar with it in advance won’t hurt." Old Lu shifted his tone and explained the benefits of talisman crafting to Mo Wen; he also wanted to see if this kid had any talent in that area. Indeed, as he said, both martial artists and Cultivators have a much greater demand for talismans than supply; otherwise, Fu Masters wouldn’t be so sought after.
"Old Man has some texts on talismans; take them and study them. However, I don’t have the materials needed for crafting talismans. If you want to refine them, you'll have to gather those yourself," Old Lu said as he pulled out a book and tossed it to Mo Wen.
"Old Lu, how do you have so many texts? Did you rob some major power?" Mo Wen asked in confusion; it seemed like Old Lu had everything on him, like a moving warehouse.
"Old Man enjoys collecting these things and doesn’t easily discard them. Fortunately for you, you encountered Old Man; otherwise, where would you find Kung Fu training?" Old Lu replied. In his early years as a beggar, he never discarded anything he acquired, regardless of its value. Some items had been with him for so long that he had forgotten they existed. Now Mo Wen had picked up on this habit of his; whenever he saw something useful, he wouldn’t let it go regardless of its worth. Old Lu felt gratified by this; the kid had potential as a little beggar.
"Alright, Mo Wen, take your time studying those things. Today Old Man shared many insights not for you to delve deeply into them but just to understand them so you won’t embarrass yourself when you go out. Your main priority now is still to improve your Realm; remember that in the face of absolute power, everything else is futile," Old Lu reminded as he watched Mo Wen bury himself in the book.
