Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 189 Difficulty Descending the Mountain

Moreover, Zhang Zhiwei not only possesses the art of talismans, but also the Five Thunder Orthodox Method!

Those who use talismans summon gods and ghosts, utilizing various energies in the world, with thunder being one of them.

In terms of lightning magic, Lu Jin was no match, and the same was true for talisman magic, which is why Zhang Zhiwei was able to achieve such a crushing victory over Lu Jin.

It's fair to say that Lu Jin is completely outmatched by Zhang Zhiwei, someone he can never defeat in his lifetime, with no hope of turning the tables!

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, stepped forward, and patted Lu Jin on the shoulder: "Alright, Lao Lu, don't be so dejected. Your progress has really surprised me. Looking around the world, besides you, I really can't find another person who can make me use that move just now."

This is quite true.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's mood eased slightly, and she rolled her eyes: "So I should thank you for praising me?"

“No need,” Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile. “Just give me one of your hundred treasured jars of ‘Daughter’s Red’ wine.”

"You wish!" Lu Jin immediately became wary. "I was saving that for Ling..."

"Saving it for my birthday? Oh, Lao Lu, you're too kind. I can drink it now."

Lu Jin: "..."

Seeing his master make Elder Lu blush and glare with just a few words, Zhang Lingyu, who had been watching nervously from the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, Master is still Master.

Its supreme power is unfathomable.

And Senior Lu... is still the same Senior Lu who is completely under his master's thumb.

However, Zhang Lingyu hesitated to speak after looking at the mess around him, especially the stone pavilion that had disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him, seemingly knowing what he was thinking, and waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, just a pavilion. Out with the old, in with the new. It's a good opportunity for Rongshan and the others to practice their skills."

He turned to look at Lu Jin, his smile becoming somewhat mischievous: "But Old Lu, the cost of the materials and labor for rebuilding the pavilion..."

Lu Jin was in a great mood and waved his hand generously, saying, "I'll take it all! I'll have my family send over the best timber later!"

"good!"

Zhang Zhiwei clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent! Lingyu, why don't you go and brew a pot of good tea for your Uncle Lu? Use the one I treasure!"

Lu Jin couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You really are the type who won't act until you see a clear benefit, just like when you were young."

Back then, Zhang Zhiwei often made bets with his fellow apprentices to collect several packets of good tea, and that's when he honed his divination skills.

After all, life on the mountain was tough, and in those days, being able to drink a few packets of tea was already a luxury.

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin settled down again in a room somewhere on the back mountain.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lu Jin, who was carefully sipping his tea, and said, "Old Lu, the skills you just displayed have surpassed the third level of Reversal of Life. It seems you have encountered an extraordinary stroke of luck."

"A stroke of luck? It is indeed an incredible stroke of luck," Lu Jin nodded.

“Tell me, what’s going on? This transformation of yours doesn’t seem like something you could achieve by practicing alone. Also, the Qi you were using just now... reminded me of the alchemy techniques from the Quanzhen Longmen school, but it was completely different, far more refined and profound than ten times.”

Lu Jin kept everyone in suspense before recounting his journey to Chongyang Palace, his chance encounter with Han Yun, witnessing the Dao Dragon's Dharma Form, receiving the ultimate principles of alchemy, and his eventual breakthrough. Zhang Lingyu, respectfully serving tea and water, listened with rapt attention, especially when he heard Han Yun enlighten Lu Jin, discuss the order and reversal of the Dao, and the statement that "Heaven and Earth are the Great Alchemy Furnace, and you and I are the alchemy itself." His eyes shone with wonder.

Zhang Zhiwei listened silently, his fingers tapping the stone table unconsciously. When he heard the name "Han Yun," his fingers paused slightly.

“Han Yun…” A subtle, profound light flashed in the old master’s eyes.

"You actually ran into that person!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's wrong, Old Master? You know him?"

Zhang Zhiwei's expression suddenly turned solemn. He gestured for Zhang Lingyu to leave before slowly saying, "This Master Han is the Junior Ancestor revered by the four schools of the Taoist Celestial Masters, and is also the direct descendant of Ancestor Ge Hong of the Lingbao School!"

Zhang Zhiwei's voice wasn't loud, but it stirred up a storm in Lu Jin's ears.

"Revered by all four schools of the Celestial Masters... the Junior Patriarch? A direct descendant of Ge Hong, the Patriarch of the Lingbao School?"

Lu Jin's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air. The smugness and the previous lighthearted banter on her face instantly turned to utter shock and disbelief.

"Old Zhang, you can't just say things like that! What kind of person was Master Ge Hong? A celestial being from the Eastern Jin Dynasty! His direct disciple? How... how could he possibly still exist in this world?"

Zhang Zhiwei explained, "It was an opportunity left behind by Grandmaster Ge Hong, which was obtained by True Man Han Yun. It's almost equivalent to Grandmaster Ge Hong personally passing it on."

"I see!"

Lu Jin recalled the scene in Chongyang Palace, the Daoist aura surrounding Han Yun, the profound aura that seemed to breathe with heaven and earth and tremble with the Great Dao, and the grand insight that "heaven and earth are the furnace, and man takes all kinds of creation to nourish and refine himself." At that time, he felt that it was extremely relatable.

Looking back now, the depth and sophistication it contains truly surpasses the lineage of any other school of thought in this era.

He murmured, "So that's how it is. No wonder, no wonder his reasoning was so profound, it enlightened me. He is indeed a person of extraordinary background."

Lu Jin suddenly realized something and looked up sharply: "Who else knows about this?"

After all, Han Yun's identity is so sensitive. If it were to come to the attention of some people with ulterior motives, especially the Wang and Lü families, it would surely cause another Jia Shen Rebellion.

"Currently, this information is only known to a very small number of high-ranking members of each faction."

Zhang Zhiwei said in a deep voice, "The appearance of the young patriarch is of great significance. He himself seems to have no intention of making a fuss about it, so all parties are keeping it a secret. Old Lu, since you have obtained this opportunity, it is your good fortune. But this matter is only for me to say and for you to hear. For now, please do not spread it to others."

Lu Jin took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I understand the importance of this."

His face immediately showed a complex expression, a mixture of realization, relief, and an indescribable excitement.

"No wonder! I've been stuck on this Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage my whole life, how come it suddenly... Turns out I met a living immortal who enlightened me! Hahaha!"

He couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and sighing, "Losing to you, old man, is not unjust, but the opportunity I have is something you, Zhang Zhiwei, can only envy!"

Zhang Zhiwei laughed as well: "It is indeed a great blessing for you. It seems that I, the Celestial Master, will have to find an opportunity to pay a visit to this young patriarch in the future."

"Old Celestial Master, can you come down the mountain?"

“If you were to leave the mountain, the entire world of supernatural beings would probably be focused on you!” Lu Jin stated directly.

Zhang Zhiwei paused, then let out a long sigh.
