Ma Lin lingered by the Spring of Light a while longer, feeling a deep sense of comfort throughout his body and a lightness in his mind. His perspective on people and society became much more positive, while his negative thoughts significantly diminished.
Although he wasn't a Samurai of Light, he still benefited from the spring's waters.
In his heart, he silently recited the disciple training method's mantra, "Be especially good to people." This phrase could resolve all difficulties, though its effectiveness varied by situation. When there were no options left, this was the only method that could be used to extricate oneself from trouble.
If it didn't work, the only choice left was the more potent training method of Saints.
The training method of Saints required one to completely abandon selfishness and make sacrifices for the benefit of all people and society. It was only necessary in special times and not recommended for most people to attempt.
