Wine God Palace/Quotes

== High priest ==
“What is there for us to worry about? We’re just a bunch of bored people who drink until we sleep. We live in the moment. But if anyone tries to prevent our peace, we’ll have no choice but to fight. You should know, sometimes drunkards don’t even know what they’ll do when they’re drunk. There’s no need for Pill Valley to intentionally antagonize me or test the bottom line of the Wine God Palace. If I wanted to kill you, even if you have the Brahma Divine Diagram, you wouldn’t have any chance to escape. That’s all I have to say. If you refuse to accept that, then don’t blame me for bullying the weak.”
The High Priest’s voice might be calm, but each of his words had power. They revealed his great confidence, shocking others. Each word was like a hammer, striking them in their hearts.
== Hard and soft power ==
“Long Chen was right, if you could master the balance between hard and soft power, then just reaching thirty percent in that soft power would have kept your blade intact. Now it’s too late,” said the High Priest.

=== Heart cultivation ===
Long Chen also explains this is a kind of 'heart cultivation':
"Once you lose everything you depend on, you can return to your original state. This is a way to temper your heart. You're still too young, and you've experienced too little. In your eyes, mud is dirty, so you don't want to touch it. But you've forgotten, everything on the ground was born from the mud and earth. Everything you eat, everything you use, it has come from the mud. Do you think the spirit fruits you eat are clean? Your shoes touch the ground every day, and yet you think it's filthy?
"Everything high-class is built on top of the low-class as a foundation. When a person has nothing to eat, when a person has no guarantee of being able to live to tomorrow, the only thing they'll think about is survival. Only when people have guaranteed their own survival do they seek higher things. But many people end up chasing those things until they've forgotten the essence of life. The formation here allows us to return to our original state, allowing us to see the essence of life clearly. Cultivation isn't just dependent on cultivation base or talent. The majority of it is dependent on comprehension. If you can't even understand your life, you will only be a frog at the bottom of a well, isolated from the truth of the greater world. In the end, you'll never be able to reach the peak of the martial path."
