Book of Disaster

"Martial Saint... is the threshold to enter Beijing."

"what!"

Bai Qi was obviously stunned. After all, he was not a native of this world, and what Xu Xuansu said was something he had never known before.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and glanced at Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian opposite him.

The two men lowered their heads to drink tea, but from their expressions, it was obvious that they already knew what Xu Xuansu said.

"But it is really difficult to become a Martial Saint. This is recognized by all human empires. Even if you are extremely talented and awaken your martial spirit at the age of seven or eight, you may not necessarily become a Martial Saint."

"Martial Saint is actually a threshold. If you can't become a Martial Saint, you will always be just a so-called genius. If you can become a Saint, it's like a real fish leaping over the dragon gate. All empires will do their best to win you over with high positions and generous salaries. And any family that can have a Martial Saint can become a real family. Otherwise, it's just a fake family."

At this time, Zhang Chi also spoke.

Although his family background is not as good as Xu Xuansu's, he also has some knowledge of the Martial Saint.

"Our Imperial Observatory focuses on Yishu, which is not a strict martial arts system. I can't help you in this regard."

Zhou Yixian said helplessly.

The focus of innate numerology is to be able to judge good and bad fortune through the astrology and to predict the past and the future.

Looking at the entire human world, among all the famous sorcerers, few are able to perform martial arts so astonishingly.

"There is one more thing that I think you should know now."

Xu Xuansu said.

"what?"

Bai Qi said subconsciously.

"Do you know why the Jiguogong family wants to deal with you? You mentioned before that during the Lantern Festival, the young Jiguogong framed you. Do you know why?"

Xu Xuansu said.

"Isn't it because of political struggle that the Duke's Mansion and our Bai family are hostile to each other?"

Bai Qi asked.

"Of course you are right, but it is only a small part of the reason, not all of it."

Xu Xuansu shook his head:

"The problem lies with your father and eldest brother."

Bai Qi was confused. What did this have to do with his father and elder brother?

Xu Xuansu was not surprised at Bai Qi's reaction. Those who are involved in the game are confused, while bystanders can see things clearly. Sometimes, bystanders can even see much more clearly than the Bai family, the person involved.

"Before your grandfather was here, everyone was afraid of you. Even if the Duke Ji's Mansion had ten times the courage, they would not dare to frame you on such an important occasion as the Lantern Festival. But now, your grandfather is stationed in the North Sea and has not been back for decades."

"Your father is getting old and has already passed forty. Because of his hidden illness, he cannot become a saint. Your eldest brother has also passed twenty and still shows no signs of becoming a saint. In addition, you... you were considered a waste by the capital."

When Xu Xuansu said this, he rolled his eyes at Bai Qi.

Everyone in the capital now knows that Bai Qi is just pretending to be a pig but actually wants to eat the tiger. Everyone has misjudged him and everyone has been deceived by him.

Bai Qi just smiled awkwardly when he saw this. As to why there was such a big difference between before and after, curious people like Zhang Chi, Zhou Yixian and others had already asked him countless times in private. As it was difficult for Bai Qi to explain his identity as a time traveler, he was very vague about it. However, Zhang Chi and others, including Xu Xuansu, had already come to their own conclusions after many attempts and indirect inquiries.

It's just that Bai Qi is not an honest guy. Before this, he was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Fortunately, Xu Xuansu just mentioned it in passing and didn't take it seriously.

"...In fact, in the capital, not only our God of War Mansion, but also all other aristocratic families, and even local dignitaries, all know that your Bai family has not produced any martial saints since the old man. This is the real reason."

"Once the old man..., your Bai family will be truly torn apart, and there will no longer be a heavyweight figure who can stabilize the situation."

Xu Xuansu said.

boom!

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Bai Qi looked at Xu Xuansu opposite him, his whole body trembled, and his heart suddenly surged with waves.

He thought he had a very clear understanding of the situation at that time, but unexpectedly, the answer given by Xu Xuansu completely overturned his previous understanding.

Martial Saint?

Bai Qi's mind was in a mess, with only these two words left.

"I didn't tell you before because you haven't reached this level yet and are still far from being a Martial Saint. But now, you have reached the level of a Quasi-Saint and have touched the bottleneck on the road to Martial Saint. I think you should understand these things."

Xu Xuansu said.

It's not that she deliberately hid it from Bai Qi, but it was meaningless and unhelpful to tell him about the previous Bai Qi.

"In fact, if you think about the Flying Martial Saint Armor, you will understand. The Sun family is so powerful and influential in Dayu Country, but they still put all their efforts into creating this Flying Martial Saint Armor to maintain the family's fortune. This is the influence of the Martial Saint in disguise."

Xu Xuansu said, throwing out the final blow.

Buzz, Bai Qi's heart was beating fast. He was just expressing his feelings about the recent bottleneck in his practice, and asked casually, but he didn't expect to ask about such heavy-duty news.

Given the relationship between him and Xu Xuansu, Bai Qi believed that everything Xu Xuansu said was true, and she had no reason to lie to him.

"Is the Martial Saint actually so important?"

Bai Qi's heart was filled with emotions, and for the first time he felt the extraordinary weight of these two words.

"The War God's Mansion has a rich source of knowledge. Do you know how to advance from a Quasi-Sage to a Martial Saint?"

Bai Qi spoke and asked the question that he wanted to ask most.

For a moment, Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian seemed to feel some kind of magic and looked at Xu Xuansu involuntarily.

The four people present were actually not much different in age, but if there was one person who knew something about becoming a Martial Saint, it would only be Xu Xuansu.

Xu Xuansu rarely spoke. She held the small purple clay cup in her hand, her eyes filled with contemplation and reminiscence.

"In fact, the most important lesson in our War God Palace is about the Martial Saint. When my mother taught me, I also asked the same question."

The tent was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Bai Qi, Zhang Chi and Zhou Yixian couldn't help but listen attentively, afraid of missing any word Xu Xuansu said.

The three of them knew that every word Xu Xuansu said next was absolutely a secret.

"...My mother told me at the time that among all the noble families on the continent, there are actually quite a few Martial Saints added together, but the way each Martial Saint advances to Martial Saint is different. Even if the same family practices the same technique, the channels and methods for advancing to Martial Saint are different. It seems that it varies from person to person, and there is no fixed method at all."

"According to the martial arts world, this is called opportunity."

Xu Xuansu said slowly.
