He thought about the question while shaking his head from side to side. Eventually he said, "Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages."
He first stated the disadvantages of weapons: "Weapons are more expensive than spells, and one can only use a limited amount of weapons. Weapons also have limited use. They are rigid in function and purpose."
Then he spoke about the advantages of weapons: "But weapons are easy to use. They can also be used without internal energy, depending on their function, and their power might be reduced. Spells require a long time to learn and always need both mental and internal energy to use."
She nodded and said, "You are right. Weapons and spells have their disadvantages and advantages. Those on the path of body refining rely more on weapons, while those on the path of energy refining rely more on spells."
