These things are nothing special to hidden families, and even ordinary martial arts families.
As long as there is a heritage in the family, they can be viewed freely.
Su Fan is different; in martial arts, he relies entirely on his own exploration and personal struggle.
What his grandfather taught him was mainly dicine, just laying a good foundation for his martial arts.
He doesn't know much about the greater martial arts world.
Bai Zongze, while playing with a Miao sword in his hand, slowly began to speak:
"There are many opinions about the martial arts world and martial artists."
"Just like our world, there are creation theories and big bang theories."
"Most of what I know about the martial arts world and martial artists cos from this book."
As Bai Zongze spoke, he took out a small booklet.
This small booklet can be described as a photo album.
It contains a large number of photographs, all of which are taken from ancient books.
Moreover, this content is mostly fragnted, with beginnings and endings cut off and only the middle remaining.
Su Fan glanced at it and asked, "Is this the White Ancestor Book?"
After he inquired, Bai Zongze nodded, "Yes, this is the White Ancestor Book."
"Many years ago, I happened to learn from a family elder's notes that the Bai family had this book."
"The content of the White Ancestor Book is very rich."
"It includes astronomy, geography, and various teachings of different sects."
"Even the Huangdi's Internal Classic, regarded as a treasure by you in traditional Chinese dicine, is included in the White Ancestor Book."
"Unfortunately, the White Ancestor Book was completed over two thousand years ago."
"Over the long years, a complete White Ancestor Book is impossible to find."
"Therefore, part of my knowledge of the martial arts world cos from the White Ancestor Book, and part of it is my speculation."
Su Fan understood Bai Zongze's point, which was that he could talk about these matters.
But he couldn't guarantee that what he said was entirely correct.
After all, the hidden Bai family is even worse off than the hidden Wu family, having lost its heritage at so unknown point.
Su Fan nodded slightly, politely saying, "Please go ahead, Elder Bai."
This ti, Bai Zongze still didn't speak directly, but instead said to Bai Jiajia:
"Xiao Jia, have the kitchen bring so wine and snacks; I want to eat while I talk."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiajia imdiately made arrangents.
Soon, the kitchen prepared everything according to Bai Zongze's request.
Wuliangye and snacks quickly appeared between Su Fan and Bai Zongze.
The two began to toast and drink.
After a couple of glasses, Bai Zongze said:
"It is said that about five or six thousand years ago, the world was quite different from now."
"At that ti, everyone could practice martial arts."
"Everything in the world was full of nutrients; just eating anything could easily increase one's strength."
"But over the next two thousand years, the environnt grew increasingly harsh."
"To this day, the environnt for practice has been worsening with each passing year."
When Su Fan heard Bai Zongze talk about these things, he basically listened as if they were stories.
Because Bai Zongze had previously ntioned that what he said might not necessarily be accurate.
Subsequently, Bai Zongze continued to talk as he drank, speaking whatever ca to his mind.
After listening for a while, Su Fan understood.
Although Bai Zongze told many stories, there were only a few main points.
Five or six thousand years ago, it was ripe for martial arts practice; almost everyone could cultivate;
Then ca martial arts masters who understood the profound ways, and even higher martial arts grandmasters, but that was not the limit of martial arts.
Those truly at the pinnacle of martial arts were like land immortals, vastly different from current martial artists.
Such land immortals were extrely rare.
In five hundred years, only Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang erged.
In a thousand years, only Lu Dongxuan was added.
Reaching such an exalted state in martial arts was exceedingly difficult.
