Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

It differs from other esoteric practices.

Aside from the "Triple Rebirth" technique, the Sanyi Sect has no other cultivation methods. Their methods are also limited, relying solely on the blessing of rebirth to strengthen their physical body and enhance their strength, speed, and recovery ability.

But everything has two sides. Precisely because its essence is simple and pure, and it is based on the innate Qi that is the source of all things, it can be compatible with any means that are not based on a specific cultivation method, just like this Red Lotus Technique...

However, reversing the natural order to cultivate is inherently difficult, and most disciples exhaust their mental and physical strength after cultivating to the first level, leaving them with no energy left.

However, Zuo Ruotong had already experienced the "first" and "second" stages of life, and with the blessing of the "fundamental method" and a powerful spirit, it didn't take much effort for him.

However, given his current frail physique, in order to establish himself in the martial world as soon as possible and gather more information about the Sanyi Sect, he naturally needed other means to enhance his strength. After some investigation, he had basically figured out the techniques this body possessed:

One of them is the Red Lotus Technique, which comes from Penglai Night Blade. It can burn one's life force to create a raging fire. Although excessive use will consume one's lifespan, it has the ability to reverse life and form a nascent nascent soul, which can draw innate Qi to burn and eliminate the side effects.

The second is the Six Lines Coin Divination, which comes from the "Art of Divination" school. It involves using six refined coins for divination and forming a hexagram. The six coins are kept under the bed in the bedroom, along with a copied divination book.

Thirdly, the divine mask should have come from the Xia family in Jiangxi, which surprised Zuo Ruotong. The difficulty of its cultivation was no less than that of reversing life, requiring not only the collection of divine will power but also the performance of one's life.

But when he used his innate ability to look inward, he understood the reason.

With this supernatural ability, he can easily capture the power of will around him, draw it into his body, and see through the true nature of the "deity," whose essence is nothing more than the mysterious power that maintains the operation of heaven and earth, which takes form through the power of will, so there is no need to pretend...

By directly using the power of one's will as a thread to guide one's body, one can transform into the form of a deity.

  

Fourthly, there is a certain external martial art, the origin of which is unknown. When used, it can make the whole body glow, and the skin, flesh, and bones will radiate a jade-like luster. In terms of power, it should be no less than the Buddhist Golden Bell Cover. However, it trains life but not nature, so it can only be considered a decent external martial art.

The fifth is Natural Skill, which comes from the Natural School and is the internal skill cultivated in this body before. It focuses on Qi and emphasizes imitating nature, moving freely and smoothly. It can draw its principles from all things in nature to form its power. Although it is not as good as reversing life, it is still the top skill among the mortal schools.

Besides these five main techniques, there are also some minor arts and methods, totaling twenty kinds. He has cultivated each one to at least the basic level, forming a circulating Qi path, which is why Zuo Ruotong was able to see them at a glance.

What intrigued him was that the most robust of these Qi paths was neither the Natural Qi Cultivation Method nor any of the five methods. Instead, it was a long-standing practice that anyone could learn…

Magic tricks.

……

When the four of them left the forest and returned to the house, the sun had already set.

After waking Zhang Chulan up and reviewing the situation for him, the four of them had dinner together.

"Then, Master, I shall take my leave now."

After washing the dishes, Zuo Ruotong informed the others and then left.

He went into his house, closed the courtyard gate, and instead of resting, he mobilized the Qi within his body, activated his innate special ability, and practiced various techniques to master it, ensuring that he could use it at will when needed.

In an instant, flames surged within the courtyard, magic flowed, sometimes illuminating colorful lights representing the power of wishes, and sometimes shimmering with jade light. Fists roared like the wind and suddenly swept across, footsteps stomped like rocks falling to the ground, and the body moved nimbly and freely.

This courtyard was clearly chosen by the previous owner, and it was some distance away from other houses in the village, so as long as you paid attention to the size of the noise, there wouldn't be any problems.

Thus, three hours passed quickly, and most of the twenty techniques had been practiced, with only the last one remaining...

Zuo Ruotong gently raised her hand.

The wooden barrel next to it then floated up.

"Reversing the eight directions..."

"It's just a minor skill used in martial arts; with your talent, why have you gone to such lengths to master it?"

He narrowed his eyes, flicked his palm, and the wooden bucket began to tumble around the yard, returning to his hands several weeks later.

The fact that one can use this technique at will simply by relying on the inertia of the body's Qi pathways and one's own understanding indicates that the original owner spent a considerable amount of time on it and had developed it to a considerable degree.

"What have you discovered?"

A glint flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes, but all she could see was the Qi flowing into threads that wrapped around the wooden barrel. Although the flow of Qi would have some effect on the surrounding area, it was negligible.

"Oh, right."

Just then, he suddenly remembered someone, a member of the Quanxing sect named Wang Yaozu, known in the martial arts world as "Ghost Hand King," whose signature move was "Reversing the Eight Directions"!

Speaking of which, this person is really skilled. He can make the same tricks into something extraordinary. He can not only make stones into marbles, but he can also control a living person.

Years ago, it fell into Zuo Ruotong's hands, and he personally experienced its techniques. They were indeed different; it wasn't just about controlling the Qi lines, but rather about controlling the entire field...

"Could it be?"

Examining the wooden bucket in his hand and sensing the Qi path that reversed the eight directions, Zuo Ruotong's eyes flickered. He once again used his innate ability to introspect and enhanced it with his spiritual spirit and nascent soul, maximizing the power of his ability.

wow——

The next instant, his vision suddenly changed, and he finally realized the situation. With the addition of "Reverse Life," he had twenty-one different Qi paths within his body, but only two of them displayed extraordinary power:

One of them is as white as jade, with a radiant glow, which is called "reverse birth".

The other path was invisible, strange, and extremely twisted; it was the "Reversed Eight Directions"!

"From a meteorological perspective, this 'reversed eight directions' actually hides a potential for near-reverse growth, which is quite interesting," Zuo Ruotong said with some surprise.

If that's true, it might even have the potential to reach the heavens... it could be called a mystical method!

"No wonder……"

He knew very well that innate special abilities were a matter of life and death, and the absence of any one of them would greatly reduce their power. He was only using them through the Qi channels, and they were not complete.

"He must have seen the mystery of this method, which is why he has been studying it so diligently."

Having figured out the reason and satisfied her curiosity, Zuo Ruotong stopped thinking about it and practiced for another ten minutes or so before calming down, changing her clothes, and going to bed.

For him, no matter how mysterious this "reversal of directions" may be, it is not his way. Knowing its potential and using it as a means to his own end is enough; there is no need to ask for anything more.

Greed is the greatest taboo in spiritual practice.

I want everything.

Often, you end up getting nothing at all.

……

……

"Achoo!"

Late at night, in the room of the leader of Sanyi, Mingchen sneezed for no reason: "Who's talking bad about me in the middle of the night? Don't let me catch them!"

As soon as he finished muttering to himself, his face, which belonged to the Left Gate Master, scrunched up in a bitter expression as he looked down at his aged body...

"It's over..."

"We're doomed!"
