Under One Person: Sincerity Moves the Gods

Chapter 80 Departure from the Zhuge Family

The next day, early morning.

Inside the Lu family compound.

Before the morning dew had even dried, people from all walks of life were already packing their bags, preparing to part ways and return home.

This Lu family birthday banquet started with a competition, followed by Ghost Hand King's efforts to gather favors.

The stay lasted much longer than expected before departure.

Many people had wanted to leave for a long time.

Inside the guest room arranged by the Lu family for the Sanyi Gate.

Just as Li Cunzhen finished helping his fellow disciples pack their bags, a refined figure slowly walked up to him.

The newcomer wore a long robe, a felt hat, and a smile.

It was Zhuge Yunhui from the Zhuge family.

"Master Li, congratulations!"

"To have obtained the status of an honorary elder at such a young age is truly enviable."

Zhuge Yunhui gently waved his folding fan and made a joking remark with a smile.

By now, he and Li Cunzhen are quite familiar with each other.

Li Cunzhen gave a helpless smile and shook his head.

"It's just an empty title."

After exchanging a few words of laughter, Zhuge Yunhui put away his folding fan, his expression becoming slightly serious.

"Master Li, do you still remember the agreement we made? Now that the conference is over, if you don't have any other urgent plans, would you mind coming with me to the Zhuge family?"

"Of course I remember."

Li Cunzhen nodded in agreement.

Even without Zhuge Yunhui saying anything, he also wanted to obtain the Wuhou Qimen.

With that, Li Cunzhen turned around, walked through several rooms, and found Zuo Ruotong.

He then truthfully reported his agreement with Zhuge Yunhui and his plans to visit the Zhuge family to exchange ideas on the art of Qimen Dunjia.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, who were standing nearby, widened their eyes and stared at Li Cunzhen as if they didn't recognize him.

Lu Jin exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior brother, you actually know about Qimen Dunjia?!"

"Besides practicing reverse regeneration and meditation, you hardly ever leave the house. When did you learn this skill?!"

Li Muxuan was also filled with disbelief. He had already been far surpassed by Li Cunzhen in the path of reversing life, and now he actually learned that Li Cunzhen was also practicing that extremely complicated and obscure art of divination.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes.

But he was, after all, a grandmaster of the Xuanmen sect, with exceptional skill in meditation, and he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Li Cunzhen and said earnestly.

"Preserve the truth, for the great principles of heaven and earth lead to the same destination. The Zhuge family's Wuhou Qimen Dunjia is renowned throughout the world, and it is your good fortune to have the opportunity to exchange and learn from it."

"Besides, I don't object to you learning other skills. It's always good to have more ways to protect yourself."

"but----"

Zuo Ruotong's expression turned serious.

"Remember this: all phenomena are empty; only the cultivation of both body and mind is fundamental."

"Never let yourself become obsessed with the mysteries of divination and lose sight of the bigger picture!"

"Furthermore, you must never neglect the Triple Rebirth Technique of our San Yi Sect; that is the foundation upon which you will find your place in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen nodded solemnly.

"I will follow my master's teachings!"

Seeing that their master agreed, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan exchanged a glance and immediately came over.

Lu Jin pleaded expectantly.

"Master! Senior Brother is going to the Zhuge family. Can we go along and see what it's like?"

Li Muxuan echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, Master, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. We have long wanted to broaden our horizons by visiting the Zhuge family, who are the best in the world in terms of divination."

Zuo Ruotong looked at her two restless disciples, smiled helplessly, and turned to look at Zhuge Yunhui.

"This...I wonder if it will cause any trouble for your sect?"

Zhuge Yunhui quickly cupped his hands and said cheerfully.

"What are you saying, Master Zuo!"

"It is an honor for the Zhuge family that a disciple of the Sanyi Sect has graced my humble abode. If the two Daoists are willing, they are welcome to accompany us. Yunhui would be more than happy to do so."

And so the matter was settled.

Just as Li Cunzhen was about to go back to fetch his horse.

A burly man with a face full of scars walked quickly to his side.

Li Cunzhen looked up and quickly recognized the person.

It turned out to be Dou Hong, the leader of the Wulou Vajra Sect.

Dou Hong rubbed his large, fan-like hands together, a rare hint of hesitation appearing on his rugged face.

"Um—Master Li, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Li Cunzhen stopped and said politely.

"Sect Leader Dou, you flatter me. Please feel free to speak your mind."

Dou Hong paused, looking both hesitant and expectant.

"Back in the finals at the martial arts arena, I saw you suddenly solidify your previously vaporized and elusive physical body."

"The more I think about your methods that day, the more I feel that your skill of solidifying qi into physical form might have been inspired by the ideas of our Wulou Vajra."

Li Cunzhen did not hide anything and frankly admitted it.

"Master Dou's insight is indeed remarkable."

"The Sanyi School's Reverse Life technique emphasizes transforming the physical body into Qi, while your school's Wulou Vajra technique emphasizes forging the physical body into an impermeable vessel."

"This separation and reunion is essentially two sides of the same coin of the physical body."

"So I suddenly had a brilliant idea: if I could use the Threefold Reversal of Power while simultaneously solidifying my physical body using the concept of the Vajra Without Leaks, it might greatly enhance my defense."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank your sect's teachings for the inspiration they gave me."

Upon hearing Li Cunzhen's admission, Dou Hong's lips curled into a smile.

He approached excitedly.

"That's good! I was really worried I'd misread it and made a fool of myself!"

"Master Li, to be honest, I have similar thoughts, which is why I invited you here today to discuss this further in the future."

Looking at this pure martial arts fanatic in front of him, Li Cunzhen felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

In the world of supernatural beings, it is rare to find people who can communicate so frankly about their sect's methods.

He readily agreed.

"No problem. If Master Dou has such an interest, Cunzhen is naturally happy to accompany him. Being able to communicate with Master Dou will also be of great benefit to me."

Just as Dou Hong was about to burst out laughing, Li Cunzhen pointed apologetically to Zhuge Yunhui and the others who were waiting not far away.

"However—Sect Leader Dou, I am truly sorry."

"I had already made an appointment with Young Master Yunhui of the Zhuge family, and I was about to set off for the Zhuge family. I'm afraid this exchange will have to be postponed for a while."

Dou Hong followed Li Cunzhen's finger and saw Zhuge Yunhui, immediately understanding what was going on.

In the world of martial arts, there's a rule that everything is done on a first-come, first-served basis.

"Hey! What's the big deal?"

Dou Hong waved his hand dismissively and said.

"Since you've already made arrangements with the Zhuge family, Master Li, then go ahead and attend to your business!"

"I'll be waiting for you in the sect at any time. We can talk slowly after you leave the Zhuge family; there's no rush!"

Li Cunzhen nodded in agreement.

Soon after.

Having finished tidying up, the members of the Sanyi Sect and the Wuhou Sect did not delay any longer.

Li Cunzhen, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan bid farewell to Zuo Ruotong and joined the Wuhou Sect's group.

We set off for Zhuge Village.
