The white-haired Taoist's words appeared to offer Gong Yu an incredible opportunity, an opportunity people normally couldn't even dream of obtaining. Yet, Gong Yu did not explode in overwhelming joy; he was merely curious, saying,
"Elder, you don't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
The Ancient Taoist, with hands behind his back and a smile, said,
"Oh? We've only met twice; how can you tell?"
Gong Yu raised the sword in his hand and calmly said, "This sword is a weapon of violence. As Gong Yu walks through Jianghu, he will inevitably face many conflicts and battles, where taking a life means entangling one's fate with that of the deceased, and killing a person binds their fortunes together."
"Since you, elder, have achieved the Realm of a True Master, you should naturally be detached from worldly affairs, avoiding needless involvement in karma, and not sully yourself with mundane dust. To act without cause would only jeopardize your cultivation fortune."
