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

Although the Southern and Northern schools of Buddhism have different philosophies and methods of practice, they have always maintained a very good relationship and have not had any conflicts due to factional disputes. The disciples of the two schools are also very harmonious.

"Young man of the Lü family, in front of Lü Zu, I will ask you one last time: are you willing to become my disciple and learn the Southern School of Internal Alchemy?"

Zhang Boqing, unlike his usual carefree self, became serious.

Lu Xin took a deep breath, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said solemnly, "This disciple is willing."

The two had already discussed it before they came. If they became disciples of this master, they could be considered lay disciples. They were not required to stay on the mountain, but they would be present at certain special and crucial times.

Seeing Lü Xin's sincere reply, Zhang Boqing smiled with satisfaction. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a Taoist priest beside him immediately made a move, sending out a burst of Qi.

Immediately, the bells and chimes rang softly, their sound reverberating throughout the palace.

The smoke from cigarettes drifted past the plaque hanging high in the hall, enveloping the statue of Lu Zu in a misty, ethereal atmosphere.

The statue, with its eyes lowered and robes flowing like clouds, stands silently on the high platform, exuding majesty.

Compared to the Northern School of Quanzhen, the Southern School of Quanzhen has far fewer rules for entry. As time goes by, the entry ceremony is gradually coming to an end.

After the ceremony, Lü Xin, following custom, served tea over the head, the clear tea rippling slightly, reflecting the cool white of his fingertips.

"Today, I sincerely enter the Dao, and I am willing to uphold the precepts, cultivate myself, embrace simplicity and truth, not disobey my master's teachings, not reveal the secret methods, and not fear death. I will never regret this."

The most important rules for lay disciples of the Southern School of Quanzhen Taoism are twofold: do not disobey the master's instructions and do not reveal secret techniques. It must be said that these rules are indeed much more lenient.

Otherwise, Lu Jin in later generations would not have allowed Lu Linglong to become a lay disciple of Quanzhen.

Zhang Boqing took the teacup, took three sips, then dipped his fingertip in the tea and lightly touched his forehead, leaving an invisible seal.

"Entering my profound gate, cultivating the mind comes first, and helping the world is the way. The Way is in the heart, not in the form."

The bells and drums sounded again, and the ceremony was completed.

After receiving the Taoist robe from the Taoist priest beside him, Lü Xin was now officially a lay disciple of the Southern School of Quanzhen Taoism.

Seeing that everything had settled down, Zhang Boqing's expression finally relaxed. He chuckled and pointed to Su Lingyue beside him.

"This is your fifth senior sister. She's half a year older than you and entered the sect earlier. It's not a loss for you to call her senior sister. As for your other four senior brothers, they're not in the sect anymore. They've all gone out to guard the Taoist temples, and some have even gotten married and had children. Our Southern School doesn't force people to become monks or nuns, nor does it prohibit marriage."

Just as he had guessed, the aloof woman turned out to be his senior sister.

Lu Xin bowed respectfully and spoke softly, "Senior Sister."

Upon seeing this, Su Lingyue's usually aloof expression softened, and her tone became gentle as she returned the greeting.

"Junior brother, if you have any questions about cultivation in the future, feel free to ask me."

"I know you are very talented, but don't underestimate your senior sister. She may not be as good as you in fighting, but she has been on the path of cultivating inner alchemy for many years longer than you."

Looking at Lü Xin before him, Zhang Boqing couldn't help but give him some instructions. Then he took out a cultivation book that he had prepared beforehand and handed it over.

"This is the Southern School's Foundation Building Chapter, 'The Art of Still Sea Condensing Qi,' which normally takes more than ten years for a disciple to master. This is the basic life cultivation technique for beginners."

"Your life force is already very strong, so mastering this technique should be a piece of cake for you. But don't underestimate this technique. Once you master it, it will help replenish what you've lost and nourish your innate vital energy, which will be useful to you too."

"Normally, you can descend the mountain after receiving the cultivation technique, but given your current situation, it's best to stay on the mountain and cultivate quietly until you've completed your cultivation and received the next step of the technique before descending."

After saying this, Zhang Boqing gestured for his disciple Su Lingyue to take Lü Xin to the assigned courtyard, while he stayed behind to discuss some things with the other three Taoist priests.

Stepping out of the hall and gazing at the scenery on the horizon, Lü Xin was momentarily lost in thought, never expecting everything to go so smoothly.

Now, he is considered a disciple of a major sect, and his master is the leader of the Southern School of Quanzhen.

The sixth young master of the Lü family, one of the four great families, plus his illustrious status in the Quanzhen Sect—goodness, this kind of start is like a dream.

Why does it feel like the protagonist is treated differently from the protagonist in my previous novel? Shouldn't it be a story of a loser's rise to power?

Thinking of this, Lü Xin couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Lingyue glanced at her junior brother beside her, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally asked:

"By the way, junior brother, I heard from Master that you are very strong. What level are you roughly at?"

It's rare to enter the sect with pre-existing skills, and Master had previously mentioned that this newly joined junior brother's strength was probably only matched by the older generation within the sect.

Lu Xin was slightly taken aback, not expecting his aloof senior sister to ask such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer appropriately.

After all, the world of supernatural beings does not have a clear division of realms, unlike the cultivation of immortals which has Qi Refining and Foundation Building. The only way to distinguish combat strength is to look at reputation and battle record.

After considering it for a long time, he smiled and didn't hide anything.

"Well, how should I put it? Looking at the entire world of supernatural beings, there aren't many I truly take seriously. The only ones I should treat with caution are the sect masters and elders."

This statement is absolutely correct. His physical strength alone is enough to contend with any expert below the level of a grandmaster. In addition, his signature Ruyi Jin and his superb control over Qi further elevate his potential.

Upon hearing this, even the usually aloof Su Lingyue's expression changed slightly. Her beautiful eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke.

"Junior brother... is actually this amazing."

Those who can be called grandmasters are all highly skilled in a certain field and have a great reputation in the martial arts world. Even the Quanzhen School doesn't have many such people.

If that's really the case, I'm far from being a match for this new junior brother; perhaps only the senior brother can give it a shot.

Once the topic was started, Lü Xin became less reserved and asked the question he had been curious about for a long time.

"By the way, Senior Sister, what level is our Master? And what about Senior Uncle Wang Mingqing from the Northern Sect?"

In the comics of my previous life, there were very few depictions of the Quanzhen Sect. The only notable character was Liu Zhenguo of the Quanzhen Dragon Gate, who was suspected of being able to produce a Yang God.

Upon hearing her junior brother's question, Su Lingyue lowered her eyebrows slightly, not out of seriousness, but because she was listening attentively and thinking carefully.

"Yes, I know a bit about Master's cultivation level. He is currently in the final stage of cultivation, which is the fourth stage of the cultivation technique. His life cultivation has been honed to a near perfection."

"As for my senior uncle Ming and Qing, I'm not too sure because their cultivation methods are different. But I heard my master mention it once. The two are exactly opposite. He said that this senior uncle has already graduated in his sexual cultivation. All that's left is to refine his physical body."

After completing the first three stages of the Quanzhen Kung Fu, one's life force has reached a state of balance.

Then, based on their own talents and interests, they can choose whether to complete the cultivation of their sexuality or their life force first in the fourth realm.

Quanzhen Sect is indeed unassuming, but as a major sect that can rival Zhengyi Sect, it does have top-tier members.
