  He unexpectedly obtained a dagger with the word "moon" engraved on the blade, which was covered in purple light. He had once used a chicken as an experiment, cutting its paw, and to his surprise, the chicken died instantly.

  It was only later, from an ancient text, that he learned the name of the dagger in his hand: "Hàn Yuè" (Cold Moon). It had once belonged to Xu Fu Ren, the wife of Yan Guo, and had been used by Jing Ke in his attempt to assassinate the King of Qin. After that, it had vanished without a trace, and he had no idea how it had ended up with him.

  Because it was a legendary dagger, Yu Xin Zushi wanted to melt it down and cast it into an engraving knife, also melting away the highly toxic substance on it. However, after the engraving knife was melted, the "moon" character and the toxin did not dissolve. Yu Xin Zushi felt that this object was inauspicious, so he buried it underground, hoping that the thick earth could neutralize the toxin and that later generations would have the opportunity to obtain this dagger...

  After reading through the entire biography, Lin Yue didn't know how to describe his emotions at this moment, the whole thing was like a dream.

  A dagger and a knife both called out to Han Yue in the dark.

  Is it a coincidence or does fate have its own way?

  A thousand years ago, the Fish Heart Ancestor buried it in the ground to give to those who had a predestined fate later on, but ended up getting it himself. Is there another mysterious mechanism at play here?

  Lin Yue didn't understand; this matter had completely exceeded his comprehension. For some reason, upon seeing this book, Lin Yue suddenly felt that he had an extremely heavy burden on his shoulders - an expectation given to him by a thousand-year-old ancestor.

  Can you do it yourself?

  Lin Yue doesn't know.

  Lin Yue, who was puzzled, handed "The Fish Heart Memoir" to Chang Tai.

  Chang Tai took the "Fish Heart Record" from Lin Yue's hand and said, "Do you know why I was so excited at that time? Because this matter is too much, I even suspected whether the ancestors deliberately arranged for you to appear. At that time, I calmed down not because of He Lao's words, but because I wanted to see your performance. There is one thing that has always made me suspicious, where did the poison on Han Yue's knife go? Is it like what Yu Xin said, that it merged into the earth?"

  Lin Yue suddenly thought of the thin layer of pale purple soil on the surface of Han Yue's knife, and wondered if that was the legendary poison.

  So he omitted the supernatural powers and told the story of how it was originally, including the appearance of Han Yue's knife at that time.

  After listening to Lin Yue's teachings, Chang Tai couldn't help but sigh in amazement. Perhaps there really was a divine will at work after all. The Thousand Year Cold Moon Carving Knife had been passed down through the Fish Heart lineage and now it had finally found its way into the hands of someone who could unlock its true potential. At this moment, the deadly poison on the knife also disappeared, transforming it into a truly extraordinary carving knife.

  He Changhe joked on the side: "Lin Yue, even if you don't acknowledge him as your master now, he will still shamelessly acknowledge you as his apprentice, haha..."

  Lin Yue couldn't help but smile slightly, while Chang Tai's words had hit the nail on the head, his old face turning red.

  After carefully putting away "The Fisherman's Tale", Chang Tai took out another old book from the corner of the bookcase, which was much more intact than "The Fisherman's Tale" and didn't seem to be falling apart.

  "This book is for you to practice later, originally I couldn't give it to you so soon, but Lao He said your moral character is good, and to help a little girl's grandmother, you gave all the money on your body to her, this moral character is indeed too kind-hearted, but no one can match. Seeing that you performed well today, I'll pass it on to you today."

  Lin Yue didn't think that helping Ming Yiran would save him so much trouble, it's really true that good people get good rewards! He solemnly accepted the book with a serious expression, but his trembling hands revealed the excitement in his heart.

  The cover of the book doesn't have any words on it, just a simple blue leather binding that looks brand new and well-preserved. It seems like not many people have read it.

  "This is the legacy of Master Fish Heart, the culmination of his life's work in carving. However, to learn the techniques described here, one must have a minimum level of skill - specifically, being able to split incense with at least three knives out of ten attempts. Even then, it's not enough; except for Master Fish Heart himself, none of his successors could achieve this feat even after a lifetime of effort. Each generation would copy the book by hand, and it was passed down for over a hundred years. The version you hold is my own transcription - the original has been lost, and what you have is only half of the complete text; the other half has also been lost."

  As he spoke, Chang Tai couldn't help but sigh, his expression filled with regret that such an extraordinary skill had not been perfectly passed down. He continued: "When I was young, I too practiced splitting incense, but after five years, I still couldn't break through, so I gave up and followed my master to learn ordinary carving techniques instead. True mastery of carving is about simplifying complexity - a single knife stroke can be enough. Nowadays, it's all gone wrong; the more tools one uses, the more intricate the carvings seem, but in reality, the skill has declined, and the work lacks a certain... soul. I hope you can revive the divine techniques described in this book and pass them down to future generations."

  After finishing speaking, a pair of eyes stared tightly at Lin Yue's eyes, not letting go of any detail.

  Lin Yue looked straight into Chang Tai's eyes, without any hesitation, and nodded heavily.

  Whether or not it can be done is no longer within Lin Yue's consideration range. Since it has been passed into his hands, he must do his best to achieve it.

  Seeing Lin Yue's solemn expression, Chang Tai smiled with relief.

  Having a disciple who is willing and able to carry on his legacy would be enough for him to die without regret.

  He Chang and others nearby were impatient, shouting: "Stop messing around like in the old Jianghu days, this is the 21st century, let's get on with it!"

  "There's still one more thing." Chang Tai said with a smile.

  "What's up? Apprenticeship?" As soon as he mentioned apprenticeship, He Chang and others immediately became interested.

  Chang Tai helplessly shook his head and said, "We still need to let Lin Yue copy this 'Ke Jing' in his hand once. This is the rule of our sect. I'll keep one copy, he'll keep one copy, and when he really succeeds in cultivating it, we can destroy these two copies and then write a new one ourselves."

  "What a nuisance!" He Chang couldn't help but mutter.

  Lin Yue finally knew what the book in his hand was called, so he spent an entire afternoon carefully copying the entire "Ke Jing" and then proofread it three times. Chang Tai also proofread it twice to ensure there were no errors before considering it done.

  On his way home, Lin Yue finally couldn't keep calm and his whole body trembled with excitement on the road.

  My dream has finally come true!

  After graduation, I have been waiting for two years just for today!

  It's been two years!

  Lin Yuezong sighed in his heart, he had thought of giving up, but every time he was about to give up, he persuaded himself to overcome the difficulties. Time and again, he came through like this, his body already battered and bruised all over. Just when he was about to make a final decision to give up, heaven gave him the greatest hope.

  And now he has finally realized his dream.
