Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

Lu Jin already knew what kind of person Wang Bing was, so she wasn't angry and casually replied:

The ceremony was scheduled for 2:45 AM.

Wang Bing was taken aback, then turned to Wang Ai and asked, "Grandpa, what exactly is 'Si Shi Er Ke'?"

Everyone's impression of Wang Bing was that he was ignorant and incompetent, but no one showed it.

Wang Ai said with a smile, "Si Shi Er Ke means 10:30 in the morning."

Chapter 74 Big Shots Arrive

Wang Bing took out his phone, glanced at the time, and muttered, "It's still so long? How boring."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin glanced at Lu Lin. He couldn't bear to see Wang Ai, that good-for-nothing grandson, making a fool of himself here, so he said, "Lin'er, take Wang Bing out to play."

Lu Lin nodded quickly, saying that he preferred playing with his peers to greeting guests outside.

Wang Bing looked at Lü Liang: "Liangzi, shall we go together?"

Lü Liang turned to look at Lü Ci, seeking his grandfather's opinion.

Lü Ci nodded: "You should come along too."

Lü Liang quickly followed behind Wang Bing and Lu Lin.

"Don't worry, Master Lü, I will definitely follow Liangzi's lead," Wang Bing said, patting his chest.

Although Wang Bing was spoiled and arrogant, he admired Lü Ci the most and always regarded Lü Ci as his idol.

Lu Ci smiled at Wang Bing and said, "This little rascal."

Wang Ai watched this scene with a smile. He was happy to see it happen. The Wang and Lü families had been on good terms for generations. When he was a child, he often followed Lü Ren and Lü Ci around. As for Lu Jin, he had gone to the Sanyi Sect to cultivate long ago, so they had less interaction.

"The younger generation seems to be getting along quite well." Lu Jin looked at Gao Lian: "Xiao Gao, why didn't you bring Da Zhuang over to join in the fun?"

Gao Lian smiled and said, "I have some things to take care of in the Northeast and can't leave."

"In the future, try to bring them along to these kinds of events so that the younger generation can get to know each other. Good relationships are built through interaction," Lu Jin advised.

"Definitely, definitely next time!" Gao Lian replied with a smile.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk. Staying at the door isn't going to work!"

Just as Lu Jin was about to lead the group to their seats, another distinguished guest arrived at the door.

A van bearing the logo of the Tianxia Hui (天下会) was parked at the entrance.

The car door opened, and Feng Zhenghao stepped out.

Feng Zhenghao was tall and slender, wearing a well-tailored black suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses. He exuded the air of a refined businessman.

Behind him followed his two outstanding children, Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong.

Feng Shayan has short hair, sharp features, and wears a neat black outfit. Her eyes reveal a cold arrogance that keeps strangers at bay.

Feng Xingtong was dressed casually, with delicate features and gentle eyes.

As soon as Feng Zhenghao got out of the car, he saw Lu Jin, Wang Ai, Lü Ci and other big shots standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

Feng Zhenghao adopted a very humble attitude in front of the senior figures.

His two children were also very polite, paying their respects to their elders one by one.

Lu Jin initially had a decent impression of Feng Zhenghao, this rising star, after all, Feng Zhenghao's character and conduct were impeccable.

What Lu Jin found unacceptable was that last year, this junior had subtly suggested arranging a marriage between his son and his own Linglong.

Now, Lu Jin had a very bad impression of Feng Zhenghao.

My little Linglong is so young, and she's already being targeted by the Feng family's pig?!

That white-haired boy named Feng Xingtong actually tried to get close to Xiao Linglong with his glib tongue.

If it weren't for his young age, he wouldn't have been able to withstand a kick from me, and I would have kicked him flying.

After that, Lu Jin kept her distance from Feng Zhenghao, and even specifically told Linglong to stay away from this family.

However, on this special day, Lu Jin still warmly greeted Feng Zhenghao.

"This must be Elder Lu's disciple."

Feng Zhenghao looked at Li Chang'an, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "He truly has an otherworldly air about him, making him unforgettable at first glance."

After saying that, Feng Zhenghao looked at his children and said, "Shayan, Xingtong, look at their demeanor. You should learn from Chang'an more in the future."

Feng Shayan raised her head, her gaze lingering on Li Chang'an for a moment.

She had to admit that the white-haired boy was indeed stunningly handsome.

But she wasn't a superficial person who judged solely by appearances; she wouldn't easily be convinced until she had witnessed the other person's true abilities.

Feng Shayan clasped her hands in a fist salute, her tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Feng Shayan, if there is an opportunity in the future, I hope to exchange techniques with Senior Brother Li."

Feng Xingtong greeted him warmly, "Brother Chang'an, my name is Feng Xingtong. I hope you will give me guidance and support in the industry in the future!"

Li Chang'an glanced at the two of them and nodded: "No problem, no problem."

……

……

After exchanging a few polite words outside, a group of bigwigs went inside and sat down to chat about various matters within and outside the entertainment industry.

During this period, a steady stream of important figures from the industry arrived.

The prominent figures, including Fang Dongtian, the high priest of Quanzhen Baiyun Temple, Chen Jinkui, the head of the Shuzi Sect, Master Jiekong, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, and Zhuge Gong of the Wuhou Sect, all arrived on time.

There were simply too many people to greet personally, so it was impossible for Lu Jin to receive everyone. Most of the welcoming duties were handled by Lu's sons and grandsons.

For example, Zhuge Gong, a member of the Wuhou faction, was received by Lu Lin's father. Accompanying him was Zhuge Gong's son, Zhuge Qing.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Qing's arrival caused quite a stir among the younger generation.

Although Zhuge Qing came from a family of extraordinary people, he was still in school. As a sorcerer, both arts and sciences were too trivial for him, so he chose art and entered the Shanghai Theatre Academy to study acting.

She is still in school, but because of her excellent personal image, she has already starred in several film and television works and accumulated a lot of fans.

Even among the younger generation in the supernatural community, there are quite a few female fans of his. As soon as he enters the courtyard, many of the younger generation go over to try and get close to him.

Li Chang'an was busy working alongside Lu Jin and didn't pay attention to Zhuge Qing.

However, Zhuge Qing was quite interested in him, frequently glancing at him with his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, secretly pondering something.

At the entrance, Lu Jin was exchanging pleasantries with Zhou Meng, the leader of the Wudang Sect.

"Oh dear, Brother Zhou, why are you the only one here? Why didn't you bring a few outstanding juniors to show off?" Lu Jin said with a smile.

Bringing younger members to gatherings is considered an unwritten rule in the community of people with unusual abilities.

In today's society, opportunities for people with different skills to communicate are rare. If you go to someone's home specifically to ask for their advice, it might seem like you're challenging them, which could easily damage the relationship.

In such public gatherings, it is perfectly reasonable for the younger generation to compete and learn from each other.

Zhou Meng waved his hand and laughed, "The younger generation is not very promising. They need to be trained more on the mountain so they won't embarrass themselves when they come down."

After saying that, Zhou Meng turned to look at Li Chang'an, who was standing behind Lu Jin, and exclaimed in admiration:

"Brother Lu's newly accepted disciple is clearly extraordinary. If I had such a talented junior, I would definitely bring him to everyone's attention and show him off."

"Senior Zhou is too kind," Li Chang'an nodded in acknowledgment.

He secretly thought to himself: By now, Wang Ye should have almost finished his university studies.

As the group was talking, someone hurried over to report that the Celestial Master had arrived.

Lu Jin's spirits lifted, and he immediately strode over to greet him.

Although Lu Jin often cursed the Old Celestial Master as "old bastard" in private, he was actually his best friend.

Chapter 75 The Ritual Completed

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a tall, thin old Taoist priest walking towards me with a smile.

Beside the old Taoist priest was a slightly shorter young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest wore a white Taoist robe and had long, silver-white hair, giving him an air of otherworldly refinement.

It was Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Lingyu.

Although Li Chang'an had spoken with Zhang Zhiwei before, this was the first time he had met him in person.

He didn't seem to have any extraordinary demeanor; he was just an ordinary old man.

If I really had to pick out one special feature...

That's incredibly tall, at least 1.9 meters with shoes on. In the centenarian category, he truly stands out from the crowd.

Among the old men present, only the great-grandfather stood with him and held his own.

Like Wang Ai, who only reached the mouth of the Old Celestial Master.

Lu Ci is 1.75 meters tall, taller than the old Celestial Master's shoulder.

As for Zhou Meng of Wudang, he only reached the belly.

"Old Lu, it's been a long time!"

The old celestial master greeted him with a smile, then his gaze fell on Li Chang'an:

"Is this the kid who consulted me a few years ago? He's been keeping it a secret for years, only now is he finally willing to show it off."

"Many thanks to the old Celestial Master for his guidance back then," Li Chang'an said, clasping his hands.

The teachings given by the old Celestial Master back then set the direction for his spiritual practice, and their importance goes without saying.

The old master waved his hand and said, "It's not really advice, just a few words of casual conversation. I'm getting old, so I tend to be long-winded and love to chat. If you have time, feel free to come and chat with this old man and show some care for the elderly living alone."

Lu Jin couldn't help but say from the side, "You're not just old and prone to nagging, you've always been this nagging. As for being an empty-nest old person, come on. You have ten direct disciples and a whole bunch of apprentices and grand-disciples, isn't that enough for you to talk about?"

"Hey."

The old master looked at Lu Jin: "Old Lu, I'm just teasing the kid, why are you so nervous? Are you afraid I'll kidnap your little disciple?"

"I'm not afraid at all." Lu Jin snorted coldly, thinking to himself, I'm afraid of your loose tongue, which is looser than a belt, and you'll spill all my dirt on me.

While the Celestial Master was talking to Lu Jin, Zhang Lingyu, who was following behind, was sizing up Li Chang'an. Because of what his master had said before they went down the mountain, he was paying extra attention to Li Chang'an.

Is this white-haired youth Master Lu's disciple? He certainly looks extraordinary, but his current state seems a bit off.

I could feel that there was always Qi flowing around him, not ordinary Qi, but the kind of Qi that had been transformed.

Enveloped in this Qi, he didn't feel like a living, breathing person, but rather a mass of energy, or a mass of energy enveloping flesh and blood.

Zhang Lingyu was secretly alarmed, guessing that this might be an anomaly caused by practicing the Three Ones Sect's techniques.

Because his master had told him that the cultivation method of the Sanyi Sect was called Reverse Rebirth Triple, and the purpose of cultivation was to cultivate oneself back to the primordial Qi.

But why didn't Lu Lin have this feeling? What made him special compared to Lu Lin? Zhang Lingyu pondered to himself.

Zhang Lingyu and Lu Lin knew each other, but both were aloof and introverted. When they met, they would just nod to each other and had no in-depth communication or sparring. Therefore, Zhang Lingyu had never seen what Lu Lin looked like after activating her reversal state.

If he had seen it before, he would recognize that Li Chang'an's current state is the Qi transformation state.

Zhang Lingyu didn't recognize him, but the Old Celestial Master did. He looked at Li Chang'an and said:

"Aren't you tired of maintaining this state all the time?"

“It’s the perfect time for cultivation,” Li Chang’an said.

Zhang Zhiwei was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Good, well said, it's time to cultivate."

After exchanging a few words, the group walked into the front yard and took their seats.

There weren't many rules about seating arrangements in the courtyard. Lu Jin didn't like to categorize people into different classes, so the seating arrangement was basically that the elders gathered in one group and the younger generation gathered in another.

Everyone sat together, drinking tea, shelling peanuts, and chatting about all sorts of interesting things related to spiritual practice. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Not long after, the master of ceremonies announced loudly:

"The auspicious time has arrived!"

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Lu Jin stood up. He wasn't wearing a suit today, but rather a brand-new white robe from the Sanyi Sect.
