Marquis Xiang looked at the statue, seemingly preoccupied with other thoughts, and said, "This drop of True Blood indeed comes from an Arhat, but the Fruit Position he attained is not one that exists within the Buddhist traditions. That is all I can tell you."
A moment later, Marquis Xiang seemed to snap back to reality and smiled, "If I gave you a drop of an Arhat's True Blood from the Buddhist sect, you might become an Arhat yourself in a few hundred years. Then wouldn't the Immortal Monarchs of your Taichu Palace seek my destruction?"
"Isn't this drop also Arhat True Blood? Could there be any difference?" Wei Yuan asked.
Marquis Xiang spoke with profound meaning, "Without entering the Dharma, there can be no reincarnation."
Wei Yuan immediately lost interest in hearing more, knowing that the less one knew about such matters within the Buddhist sect, the better. Having knowledge means being involved in causality, and the monks are quite unreasonable in this regard.
