Chu Ge glanced sideways at Lin Dong, his tone slightly serious, and said, "If you want to practice ancient martial arts for longevity, then you better not practice it at all."
Lin Dong was taken aback, looking puzzled at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge didn't really mean to get angry. His tone softened as he continued; "The cultivation of ancient martial arts is firstly for strengthening the body, and secondly for pursuing a higher realm. However, ancient martial arts are filled with too many dangers; you may lose your life any day. Relying on ancient martial arts for longevity is the most impractical idea."
Chu Ge's gaze drifted into the distance, his voice somewhat ethereal, as if he was speaking to Lin Dong and also reminding himself.
Lin Dong, half-understanding, was not as thoroughly knowledgeable about ancient martial arts as Chu Ge, nor did he have a deep understanding or higher realms. In other words, he was merely a commoner constantly hustling for money.
