Through Yi Shaochen's words, Mu Ruyue learned why martial artists within Wujie were so scarce.
It turned out that their meridians were different from those on the Divine Martial Continent. In the Divine Martial Continent, one could begin cultivation after passing a test, but the people of Wujie had blocked meridians and needed to undergo Bone Marrow Cleansing before they could start to cultivate.
However, only those Four Major Families possessed the Washing Marrow and Cutting Hair Pills.
Thus, ordinary people simply couldn't practice cultivation.
Of course, aside from the Four Major Families, there were also some scattered martial artists within Wujie, though they were few in number. As for those mentioned by Murong Qingchu, they were completely bluffing her...
The Four Major Families did indeed want to take in martial artists who truly sought shelter, but not all of them would kill someone if they were refused – only those of extremely poor character would do such a thing.
