Chapter 61 - 057: ’Typhoon’ Approaching
"You’ve never mingled in the circle of martial artists before, so you don’t know how some martial artists can be insanely reckless behind the scenes, committing crimes with martial arts, and this is why the state has completely suppressed civilian martial arts since the 2000s.
On the surface, Dong County seems peaceful, but behind the scenes it’s very complicated. For ordinary people, there’s no impact, but for martial artists, things aren’t as safe as you think.
In the past, you were just starting in martial arts and weren’t a threat to those martial artists, but now you’ve become a Ming Jin master, and I’m worried that some of them might come to trouble you because of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture.
Even as a Ming Jin master, you’re only good at fighting, but you can’t withstand an ambush, a sneak attack, so that’s why I’m advising you to leave Dong County," the big monk said.
Wang Longhu was somewhat skeptical, "You mean the martial artists hiding in Dong County dare to provoke me?"
"It’s not a matter of daring or not, Wang Longhu, this is a qualitative change. The Marrow Cleansing Scripture represents a qualitative change in the human body. Although no one has reportedly mastered it for hundreds of years,
it still doesn’t stop martial artists from valuing this inner power. Do you know what a qualitative change in the human body means? Surpassing the human physical limit; no one knows what it might evolve into.
It could even possibly become the original source of martial arts, the path pursued by Qi Refining practitioners of the Qin and Han Alchemy aiming to become immortal. Martial arts were just a branch simplified from Qi Refining Skill by some people at that time who couldn’t find the way to immortality."
Wang Longhu chuckled, not fully understanding, "Becoming immortal through martial arts, huh? I’ve read novels and know about this, but it’s too far-fetched. If one Marrow Cleansing Scripture could make someone immortal, would the state allow this thing to wander outside?
Decades ago, the Japanese could wreak havoc on our land? The Americans could still strut arrogantly on this planet for years? I think it’s all just empty talk."
"Regardless of the truth, that group has long been obsessed over the years. You can’t predict the actions of a madman. If you don’t plan to leave, remember to be more cautious and watchful daily."
