Chapter 285 - 131: The Ultimate Divine Skill in the World, Traces of The Twenty-Four Generals_3
The clear-eyed elder had a slight smile on his face:
"A swordsman who can’t use a sword, a foolish monk, a Taoist who doesn’t know martial arts, a prince who only knows martial arts, and a silent descendant of the Military School—it’s all in the past now, yet those were the most joyful three years of my life."
As the old man spoke, he was lighting candles. Li Guanyi suddenly noticed that the candles here seemed to be arranged in a peculiar way, different from usual. He thought of the words spoken by the living Buddha and said calmly, "Elder Zu, how is your health?"
The elder extended his hand for him to take his pulse.
Li Guanyi, having been sick for a long time, had become a doctor himself; he could feel that the old man before him had a strong pulse and was full of vigor, even stronger than Mr. Wang Tong, who was cultivated, but had exhausted too much mental energy and had weakened his qi and blood, resulting in poor health; whereas Zu Wenyuan was as bright and spirited as a blazing flame.
Li Guanyi felt that both men were in a state that made him feel uneasy.
The elder didn’t say much but taught Li Guanyi the "Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture." Occasionally, he mentioned the living Buddha, saying, "His cultivation path is also the body, but unlike your ’Golden Muscle and Jade Bone, Dragon Veins and Tiger Marrow,’ his is ’Inner Brightness and Outer Clarity, Vajra Glass.’
"If we must highlight a difference, it’s largely that your path is the Military School, and his is the Buddhist Sect. One is characterized by immense strength and unparalleled recovery abilities, geared towards slaughter; the other possesses a body as tough as gold and iron, specialized in defense."
"The difference between the Dragon and Tiger and Vajra."
Li Guanyi pondered, "One is strong in body, the other powerful in strength?"
The elder let out a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, yes, you could say that."
