Under One Person: In the Lü Family, Liver Becomes Supreme

In today's world of supernatural beings, almost every skilled individual with considerable strength knows that cultivating both body and spirit is the true path to enlightenment.

However, the path to heaven is not easy to traverse. Throughout history, how many people have truly reached the path to heaven and ascended to immortality? Nowadays, very few people truly want to walk the path to heaven.

Moreover, there are very few methods for cultivating both body and mind; most people who want to practice them need to join one of the major schools of Taoism.

Ultimately, cultivating both body and spirit requires exceptional talent; it's not something that can be achieved simply by practicing diligently.

Lu Xin sighed softly and, without further pleasantries, asked directly, "I suppose you can guess the purpose of my visit, Master Zuo. My cultivation level is currently quite low, and I wish to find a method to balance it in order to pursue the Great Dao."

While one can directly increase their spiritual cultivation level through the light points gained from daily practice, this method is too time-consuming and has no future application.

The main purpose this time is to obtain a cultivation method to enhance one's sexual cultivation, thereby achieving the state of cultivating both body and mind.

Looking at the young man before her, Zuo Ruotong didn't say much. Instead, she reached out and placed her hand on his pulse, carefully feeling his physique and the Qi within his body.

A moment later, a hint of doubt and surprise flashed in the eyes of this Great Ying Immortal.

"I noticed your situation when I first met you. Your life cultivation level is unequal. I couldn't bear to see your talent go to waste, but since we're not close, I couldn't say much. I just asked you to come to Sanyi."

"But I really didn't expect your physical condition to be beyond my imagination. Normally speaking, it would be very difficult for you to practice the dual cultivation of body and mind again under your condition."

"But your life cultivation is very strange. It seems to have been raised by some extremely profound method of cultivating both life and spirit. It was not entirely raised by your own training. Moreover, your Qi is very active and has not been completely changed by the Ruyi Jin technique."

"That shouldn't be the case. If you've cultivated a profound method of cultivating both body and spirit, how could you only improve your life cultivation without improving it at the same time?"

Even with his vast knowledge, the Great Immortal of Great Abundance was still somewhat surprised by this strange situation.

Upon hearing this, Lü Xin understood what was going on; it was probably due to the power of his innate ability.

As expected of a cheat program, it's reliable.

"Master Zuo, perhaps it is due to my unique innate ability that caused this result."

A look of realization flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes. She nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"In that case, the solution is much simpler. You have already passed the best time to cultivate the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage and can no longer do so. If you are truly ambitious and pursue the Great Dao of Ascension, I will give you two other solutions. Listen to the pros and cons and choose one."

Upon hearing this, Lü Xin felt a surge of joy and quickly said, "This junior would like to ask for your guidance."

"First, you can go to the Shangqing School. This school focuses on calming the mind and cultivating one's inner energy. It has done a lot of research in the area of ​​sexual cultivation and is also a major school of the Zhengyi School. Your situation will be easily resolved if you go there. However, the only drawback is that this school has strict rules and is extremely rigid and low-key."

The Shangqing School, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, is the school of Zheng Zibu, a comprehender of the Tongtian Talisman. The Taoists of the school are extremely low-key and reserved, and the rules are extremely strict.

If he went there, he would probably no longer be a member of the Lü family, but a Taoist priest of Shangqing, so this option was directly abandoned.

Seeing Lü Xin's expression, Zuo Ruotong seemed to have already guessed what was going on and smiled gently.

"I know that with your personality, you definitely wouldn't want to join the Qing Dynasty, which is such a rigid sect. Actually, the next one is the one I really want to recommend to you, and that's the Quanzhen Sect. You should know that the Quanzhen Sect is divided into the Northern and Southern Schools, right?"

Lu Xin nodded. He had some knowledge of Taoist knowledge and responded after organizing his thoughts.

"Yes, this junior does know this. The Northern School of Quanzhen was founded by Wang Chongyang. This founder inherited and developed Lü Dongbin's internal alchemy theory. In addition, the internal alchemy cultivation system of Quanzhen is based on the 'Zhong-Lü Golden Elixir Way,' so most people in Quanzhen revere Lü Dongbin as their master."

"As for the Southern School, it reveres Zhang Boduan, the Purple Yang Immortal, as its founder. In its early days, it was known as the 'Southern School of Golden Elixir.' It emphasized cultivating Taoism at home and cultivating both body and mind. Its representative figures were Zhang Boduan, Shi Tai, and the other five Southern Patriarchs. Its precepts were relatively lenient."

"During the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Zhixu integrated the Northern and Southern Schools, honored Wang Chongyang as the founder, and the Five Patriarchs of the South were incorporated into the Quanzhen School, formally integrating into the Quanzhen Sect."

Today, the two main schools of Taoism are Zhengyi and Quanzhen, with Zhengyi enjoying a more prominent reputation in modern times.

Although the Northern and Southern schools of Quanzhen School seem to have merged into one, there are still some differences in their theories and rules.

"Yes, the two schools have quite different philosophies. Although both emphasize the cultivation of both mind and body, there are many differences. The Northern School prioritizes mind over body, requiring monks to cultivate in seclusion with strict precepts, while the Southern School prioritizes body over mind, requiring monks to cultivate in seclusion with more lenient precepts."

"The Southern Sect is the most suitable for your situation. Fortunately, I have an old friend there who is quite close to me. If you are willing, I would like to introduce you. You can try to pass the test to become a lay disciple. There will be fewer restrictions, and you can also comprehend the Great Dao of Inner Alchemy."

The rules of the Southern Quanzhen School are not particularly strict, and the constraints are relatively minor. For example, Lu Linglong, the granddaughter of Lu Jin in later generations, also joined the Quanzhen School and became a lay disciple.

After a moment of contemplation, Lü Xin nodded and bowed deeply to Zuo Ruotong: "In that case, I will trouble Sect Leader Zuo. I will never forget your guidance."

Faced with the young man's gratitude, Zuo Ruotong waved her hand, a smile playing on her lips, as gentle as ever.

"It's alright. I just don't want to see someone as talented as you go astray. It's easy to acquire techniques, but difficult to grasp the true path. It's not easy to meet such an ambitious young man like you. How can we, as seniors, not lend a helping hand?"

Regardless, Lü Xin remembered this kindness.

Although the Lü family had a high reputation in the circle, they had no connection with Quanzhen.

With the recommendation of Zuo Ruotong, the head of the Sanyi Sect, the chances of success have increased significantly; the rest depends on ourselves.

Zuo Ruotong got up, took two teacups, poured a pot of freshly brewed hot tea into the cups, and handed them to Lü Xin.

"Come on, after talking so much, you must be thirsty. Have some tea."

Lu Xin gave a wry smile and quickly accepted the teacup: "Master Zuo, you're making this junior feel too embarrassed."

The Immortal Daying personally poured the tea; this is something I can brag about now.

"Haha, there's no such thing as senior or junior these days. We're just two seekers of the Way, so don't be shy."

Zuo Ruotong took a sip of tea and continued, "My disciples respect me very much, which means that I don't usually have anyone to confide in. Since you're here today, there's something I'd like you to evaluate from an objective perspective."

Lu Xin's expression turned serious: "Master Zuo, please speak freely. Don't worry, I mean 'trustworthy.' I'm a man of my word. I just like to tell the truth."

Someone just did me a big favor, and now they're asking me to judge something, so it's only right that I do it.
