Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Okay, thank you for your help." Zhang Wang remembered that there was still some medicine being decocted in the kitchen, so he hurriedly went to check.

With one hand holding a bowl, Tang Bingwen took out several prepared origami cranes with the other. With a slight movement of his Qi, a gentle breeze arose, causing the origami cranes to dance and swirl around in front of the girl.

"Flying..."

"many...."

"Ha ha...."

The girl chuckled like a carefree child, which made Tang Bingwen feel uneasy. He abandoned his stern and kind demeanor and became amiable, communicating with the younger woman.

"Xiaomei, do you remember... Grandpa with white hair?"

"Remember...."

The girl looked at the origami cranes fluttering lightly and was very happy.

"You didn't lie to me...."

"one two three...."

She carefully counted the paper cranes and even reached out to touch them cautiously. When she saw the paper cranes tremble, she smiled brightly.

"Will you take your medicine? Grandpa will fold some more paper cranes for you later," Tang Bingwen said softly.

"No, the medicine is too bitter," the girl shook her head in protest.

"After we finish drinking, shall I take you to the market to buy candied hawthorns?"

"Would you... lie to me?"

"will not."

"How about just a small sip?"

"Xiaomei, drink as much as you want, Grandpa won't force you."

Tang Bingwen didn't force her. He changed the medicine every year, but it never worked. Rather than let Gao Mei suffer, he thought it was better to make her happy.

"Just...just a tiny bite..."

As if afraid that the white-haired old man in front of her might go back on his word, the girl leaned closer, lowered her head, pressed her lips against the bitter, dark medicine, slightly opened her mouth, took a small sip, closed her eyes, and swallowed it.

"Okay...good girl."

Tang Bingwen affectionately patted the girl's head, put down the medicine bowl, and kept his promise.

"Come on, Grandpa will take you to bask in the sun and buy you some candied hawthorns."

"Okay... Let's go!! Fly slowly."

The paper cranes fluttered out of the house, and the girl, barefoot, got out of bed and stumbled after them.

"Grandpa with white hair...come along!"

"If you're any slower... I'm not waiting for you anymore..."

Chapter 126 Night Visit to the Tang Clan

in the afternoon.

The dull booming sound of fists and feet colliding violently echoed in the quiet back mountain of Sanyi Gate, with howling winds and rustling bamboo.

The frost-white figure clashed with the massive stone man for nearly a hundred rounds, his clothes already soaked with sweat, and the blue-white aura swirling around his body growing increasingly thin.

The oppressive feeling, as heavy as a mountain, and the hard stone armor, even with Lu Jin on his best, caused him to be defeated step by step, and he could not find any flaws.

As the millstone-sized stone five-fingers descended, a fierce hurricane was unleashed. Lu Jin had nowhere to dodge. In desperation, he activated his true power, and a pale blue chill covered his right hand, condensing into frost.

"Oh?"

"You've made progress."

Jiang Mo, who was outside the martial arts arena, was leisurely sipping tea while reading an ancient book when he suddenly sensed a subtle change in the air and looked in surprise at the distance.

Unlike Chengzhen, who refined the Qi of Wind and Thunder, Lu Jin seemed to focus more on the Qi of Cold Ice, and his progress in cultivating the True Method was not slow; he had also mastered some of the changes in the Qi of Cold Ice.

"boom!"

The giant stone hand crushed down mercilessly. With the support of the second and first levels of the Reverse Life True Law, Lu Jin's right hand suddenly surged with a pale blue chill, pouring out like a torrent.

"Boom!!!"

A vast expanse of frost-covered thorns grew wildly, freezing the giant hand of the stone golem and forcefully blocking its attack.

After a brief stalemate, the stone man's arm trembled, unlocking the threshold of power. A terrifying force suddenly erupted, shattering the ice into countless tiny dust particles.

"?!"

Lu Jin looked regretful. With his Qi power almost exhausted, he didn't even have time to dodge before the stone man grabbed him and hurled him violently towards the surrounding rocks.

"call out--!"

Unable to control his body, Lu Jin crashed into the rock wall like a cannonball.

His internal organs were trembling, and his muscles and skin were twitching. Fortunately, the reversal of his condition had not been lifted, and his injuries were relieved in an instant.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Jin, who slowly slid down from the concave spiderweb-like crack, was completely limp and almost couldn't recover. The stone man was even more difficult to deal with than he had anticipated.

"Junior Brother Lu, you're...so amazing..."

Zhuge Yu, who had been pouring tea and water for Jiang Mo, was dumbfounded. From the beginning, he had been silently counting the rounds of combat between the two sides, and by the end, the number had even exceeded one hundred.

The biting frost, in particular, was an unprecedented technique that piqued his curiosity.

Lu Jin brushed the dust off his clothes. After a thrilling fight, he showed no signs of exhaustion. Instead, he was even more energetic and walked towards Jiang Mo and Zhuge Yu.

"Uncle-Master, your stone figure is incredibly sturdy. It's made my bones swell and ache all over."

"It must have been tough for Senior Brother Zhuge to test his skills that day."

Before Jiang Mo could say anything, Zhuge Yu had already put down the teapot, turned around and searched for the liniment stored in the wooden box.

"Here, Xiao Lu, put some of this on, it'll be better in a bit."

He has been subjected to daily beatings by the stone man and has gained considerable experience in dealing with them.

"Ah? Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Lu Jin took the dark red bottle, and as soon as he twisted it open, he smelled a mixture of medicinal herbs and wine.

Immediately, he sat down on a small bamboo chair and was taught by Zhuge Yu how to apply the medicine.

Jiang Mo slowly closed the ancient book in his hand, glanced at Lu Jin, and couldn't help but smile:

"Take a little more hardship, and with your abilities, it won't be long before these stone men can't suppress you."

"Really? Then I'll give it my all."

Lu Jin smiled brightly as she applied the medicinal wine to the bruised and dark areas of her bone. The cool, refreshing wine instantly relieved the dull pain.

"Little Zhuge, you're almost at the second level of reversal, aren't you?"

Jiang Mo asked about Zhuge Yu's cultivation progress. A few nights ago, when he was meditating in the pool, he could hear the roar of the training ground, which was probably the kid practicing hard.

"almost."

"Uncle-Master, I'm just one step away from success."

In the past few days, Zhuge Yu has sought advice from several senior brothers who are at the second level. With the breakthrough imminent, he estimates that he has about a 70% chance of success.

"Alright, after you advance in your cultivation level, your master will pass on the true techniques to you."

Jiang Mo was very pleased.

During his time recuperating in the sect, Chengzhen and Zhuge Yu were the most diligent among them.

Now that he can see the latter break through the barrier, he is beginning to look forward to what kind of wonderful sparks will be created when Ni Sheng is combined with Wu Hou Qi Men.

"True Dharma..."

Zhuge Yu murmured softly, but with some concern: "Is it the one that Junior Brother Lu just used?"

He scratched his head and chuckled, "Uncle-Master, this disciple has limited energy and I'm afraid I can't cultivate it all."

"The true method is to assist in the cultivation of reverse life. It will not only not consume your energy, but will also allow you to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Jiang Mo explained with a faint smile that even an ordinary person who cultivates the Reverse Life technique and exhausts sixty years of their lifespan might not be able to reach the end of the second level.

Moreover, for someone like Zhuge Yu, who possesses extraordinary abilities and can survive against all odds, his energy is scattered, making his cultivation extremely slow.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so far behind Lu Jin, and still stuck at the first level of the Reverse Life Realm.

"That's great, thank you, Uncle-Master."

Zhuge Yu suddenly realized, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

..........

evening.

Outside the Sanyi Gate, Gu Xuanchuan and his sister, who had stayed for several days, bid farewell to Jiang Mo, Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, and others.

"Master Jiang, if you have the chance to visit the Southern Frontier in the future, please remember to visit us."

"Okay, I hope I won't cause you any trouble."

"I'm leaving." Gu Xuanchuan waved goodbye. After spending a few days together, he had a very good impression of the disciples of the Sanyi Sect.

"Goodbye."

Jiang Mo watched the brother and sister descend the mountain into the twilight until their figures became black dots and disappeared on the horizon.

After dinner.

Jiang Mo browsed through ancient books on the fourth floor of the Sutra Repository, searching for information to verify the records about the blessed land and grotto-heaven given by the Master of Wanxiang Hall. There were very few records about the 'Ancient Land of Tengshe', only a few words.

It just so happens that the disciple in charge of guarding the Qi Diagram tonight is Lu Jin. He saw his master flipping through one book after another, which was almost piled up into a small mountain. He was very curious, but dared not ask any questions or disturb him.

child time.

Three red Qi dots appeared outside the mountain steps, approaching the sect at a relatively fast speed.

Lu Jin's pupils contracted slightly; this was none other than the strange phenomenon that his Uncle Si Chong had told him to be wary of.

The next moment, he looked at Jiang Mo, who was still turning the pages of the book, and blurted out:

"Uncle-Master, three people have come to visit, but their identities are unknown."

"Go and see, Chengzhen is still meditating in the courtyard. Call him to join us."

"Yes, disciple will go right away."

Lu Jin hurried downstairs and, upon reaching the central courtyard, witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Chengzhen sat cross-legged in the void, eyes closed in meditation, his body surrounded by a thin, pale moonlight, as if he had entered some mysterious state.

"Senior brother..."

Lu Jin called out softly, informing them that someone had broken into the mountain gate at night.

"So late... who could it be?"

Chengzhen stopped refining the Yin Qi of the moon in the vast天地 (heaven and earth). He stepped into the void and walked down to the ground step by step, appearing very calm.

moment.

The answer is revealed.

Chengzhen and Lu Jin, standing outside the mountain gate, stared at the group of people coming down the stone steps. Even though some of them were familiar faces, they remained vigilant.

"Friends from the Tang Clan, please stop here."

Chengzhen gazed at the middle-aged man in the black trench coat and glasses, remembering that he had attended a meeting with the Tang Clan leader to discuss intercepting and killing the Japanese supernatural beings.

Upon hearing that cold warning, Tang Jian immediately stopped in his tracks.

He was naturally aware that visiting late at night would arouse suspicion and hostility, so he maintained a safe distance of more than ten meters.

"Tang Jian of the Tang Clan, please forgive my intrusion in visiting, two Daoist masters."

"What is it about?" Chengzhen asked directly.

"On the orders of the sect leader, I have invited Sect Leader Jiang to Shu to discuss a business deal. Perhaps he will be interested."
