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

The stick was surrounded by seven-colored energy, and it spun around in his palm, growing longer in the wind.

It grew from eyebrow level to twelve feet tall, and then from twelve feet tall to several feet tall.

The colorful stick drew an arc in mid-air before slamming onto the stage, making the stage boards vibrate.

A collective gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Chapter 78 The Southwest Cancer

The drumbeats suddenly quickened, and gongs and cymbals blared in unison.

Sun Wukong spun around, his golden cudgel transforming into a seven-colored whirlwind as he danced and sang:

"One blow overturns the Tushita Palace, the second blow smashes the Southern Heavenly Gate. The third and fourth blows sweep across the sky, leaving that old Jade Emperor nowhere to hide."

The stage was filled with his tumbling figure, the seven-colored arc of the golden cudgel, the wind whistling through the cudgel, and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

The audience was mesmerized, cheers erupting from one after another.

Lu Linglong's eyes widened in surprise, and she clapped her hands loudly.

"This show is so exciting! How did that stick come out of nowhere? Is it a special prop?"

She had never seen a divine mask before, and her face was filled with shock.

Li Chang'an, however, had already noticed the problem.

A man who looks very much like a woman cultivates a divine mask, specifically the divine mask of Sun Wukong, and his behavior is so unconventional, jumping from the Legend of the White Snake to the Havoc in Heaven.

The answer is obvious.

Wang Zhenqiu, a scourge in Southwest China!

How did he end up touching this spot?

Nobody invited him to perform.

Li Chang'an looked at Wang Zhenqiu on the stage. As far as he knew, this kid was a practitioner of various arts, and he would shamelessly learn any technique he fancied.

With that shameless attitude, he actually learned a lot.

But because he was so shameless, he had a terrible reputation and was known as a cancer.

He was a temporary worker in the company's Southwest Region, which was in the same region as the Tang Clan. It was said that he harassed the Tang Clan disciples every day in order to learn their techniques.

With a face more beautiful than a woman's, he managed to turn many Tang Clan disciples gay, which angered the Tang Clan so much that they established a rule that Wang Zhenqiu and dogs were not allowed to enter.

Why did he come here?

It couldn't possibly be that they're eyeing the Reverse Life Triple, could it?

Li Chang'an thought about it and felt it was very likely.

Wang Zhenqiu really liked the God Mask, which had a three-stage transformation effect.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique was undoubtedly the kind of method that would pique Wang Zhenqiu's interest.

Was it because the grand banquet that the great-grandfather held caught Wang Zhenqiu's attention?

If this malignant tumor is trying to learn how to defy death...

……

Meanwhile, offstage.

Teacher Yu, who had just finished his crosstalk performance, led Xiao Xiao to his seat. Lu Jin had also prepared a banquet for the performers.

As soon as Teacher Yu took his seat, he noticed that the entertainer from Guanghelou was sitting there enjoying his meal.

"Hey, why are you seated so early?" Teacher Yu asked, puzzled.

"Hey Lao Yu, come sit down, my role has been replaced!"

This entertainer was dressed as the White Snake Lady and was eating lobster.

"Changing the script at the last minute? Surely Mr. Lu wouldn't do something so tasteless?" Teacher Yu said.

“I changed it myself. This morning, I ran into a colleague who said he wanted to go on stage and have some fun. I told him, ‘If you’re more skilled than me, you can go on stage and show off.’”

"and then?"

"And then I lost, so I'm having this banquet here!" said the entertainer from Guanghe Tower.

"You lost? You're a famous star at Guanghelou Restaurant, aren't you? What's this guy's background?" Teacher Yu asked.

"Who knows? The company's people are quite familiar with Dou Le, the head of East China. Dou Le said he's a cancer, which means he's not someone to be trifled with. Plus, I already lost, so I guess I'll just have to accept my defeat!"

……

……

Soon, the performance of the White Snake Lady's medley of havoc in the Heavenly Palace came to an end amidst cheers.

The scourge of Southwest China stepped down from the stage, touched his face, and the monkey-face mask disappeared, revealing a face that could be described as beautiful and charming.

He then looked around the room, found the location of the Southwest Tang Clan, and swayed as he went over to eat at their table.

As soon as he sat down, he was grabbed by two Tang Clan disciples. One lifted his head and the other his feet, carrying him directly to the door and throwing him out of the Lu family compound.

Lu Jin was stunned when she saw this scene at the main table.

What are you doing? Isn't this neglecting our guests?

As the host, he was about to speak immediately.

But Gao Lian stopped him: "It's alright, Mr. Lu. They're company people. Let them be."

Lu Jin frowned: "People from the company should not be treated like this."

Gao Lian said, "It's alright. The company forbids internal strife, but this person is an exception. There are so many people in the company who want to beat him that they have to draw lots to find the right person. Besides, this kid is really tough. The fact that he was thrown out means he's just messing with them."

"This way of making people laugh is really peculiar," Lu Jin said.

“Old Lu, these young people are all so adventurous these days. We’re all over a hundred years old; we should accept our age!” the old master said.

"I'm impressed. You're the one who should admit you're getting old. You have nothing better to do than spam your QQ space. I suggest you tone it down and post one or two messages a day is enough," Lu Jin said irritably.

Are you teaching me how to do things?

……

Next up is a performance by Jiyun Club.

Jiyun Society is best known for its ancient magic tricks and illusions. They used to perform on the streets, but now they've adapted to the times and repackaged themselves as magicians.

Magic tricks like hand sleight of hand, close-up magic, and escape magic are all signature techniques of Jiyun Society.

This time, Jiyun Society performed illusion magic, which is actually smoke control magic. They controlled the smoke to create various scenes like a mirage.

Under the manipulation of the illusion master, the smoke sometimes transformed into a celestial maiden with flowing robes and graceful postures, and sometimes into a dignified Buddha preaching the Dharma.

In terms of brilliance, it is in no way inferior to the previous ones.

"Old Lu, your show is really impressive, it must have cost a lot of money." The old master said, gnawing on a large pork knuckle.

"It cost a lot, it emptied the Lu family's coffers, so we can't arrange a show for your Longhu Mountain as well."

They've been friends for almost a century, and before Zhang Zhiwei even opened his mouth, Lu Jin already knew what he was going to say.

"It's alright, you can pay on credit. With your reputation, Lao Lu, I believe everyone will be happy to give you face."

“In terms of saving face, your face, Zhang Zhiwei’s face, is more effective,” Lu Jin said.

"It won't work. I'm already struggling to buy a plane ticket because of my reputation. The airline requires me to provide a health certificate, which has to be issued by a top-tier hospital."

"So how did you get here?" Lu Jin asked. "Did you get a health certificate?"

The old master took out his ID card and placed it in front of his chest:

"I forged a few ID cards belonging to younger people, and they worked!"

"Ahem..." Gao Lian whispered a reminder: "Old Master, this kind of thing can be discussed with the company. If there are problems with the superhumans, go to the company."

"Looking for a company?" Zhang Zhiwei squinted at him. "Your Fatty Zhao will definitely make me get a health certificate from a top-tier hospital."

"Master, you're so healthy, prescribing one won't be a problem for you," Gao Lian said with a smile.

"It's too much trouble. Top-tier hospitals are always overcrowded, and they only cover patients for seven days. It's much easier to use a fake ID."

Gao Lian was immediately ashamed; this Taoist master was a bit unconventional.

"Old Lu, do you want one?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"This kind of thing can't be discussed in public," Lu Jin tilted her head and said softly, "It's better to talk about it in private."

It is indeed a bit troublesome for a centenarian to travel, as he has to obtain a health certificate every time.

"You hypocrite!" Lu Ci said, "Old Celestial Master, give me a few."

“No problem, give me the money, and I’ll do it for you. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied,” the old master said.

"How much?" Lü Ci asked.

The old master didn't speak, but raised his index finger.

"One...ten thousand?" Lu Ci asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei immediately slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Deal!"

Lü Ci: "..."

Oh no, I've fallen for this guy's trick!

……

……

Several older people were drinking, chatting, and watching a play.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Suddenly, Wang Ai suggested, "Brother Lu, although this program is wonderful, it's not quite the same if you keep watching it."

Chapter 79 The Competition Begins

Lu Jin looked at Wang Ai: "Brother Wang, what do you mean?"

Wang Ai looked at Li Chang'an's table and saw that everyone at the table was coaxing their grandson to win gold coins. He wasn't angry. It was just a little money. If it could make his precious grandson happy, why not?

He withdrew his gaze and said, "Today, all the big names in the industry are here. Everyone's here. Whoever stands out will truly become famous."

"We old folks are well aware of the demeanor of the Great Ying Immortal and the prowess of the Sanyi Sect, but the younger generation is not."

"Didn't you just take on a disciple? The fact that you've made such a fuss shows how satisfied you are with him."

"Why don't we call him up and show him what he's capable of in front of everyone, so those inexperienced juniors can see the power of Sanyi's methods!"

Wang Ai's words have the suspicion of being a sarcastic compliment, but not entirely.

If you're not strong enough yourself, and you make a fool of yourself on stage, that's just a case of being praised to death.

If you are truly capable and gain fame through your efforts, that's what it means to be praised.

Lu Jin glanced at Wang Ai. Wang Ai's words had hit the nail on the head; he had wanted to bring it up for a long time.

He only scheduled half a day for the program, just so that the younger generation could go up and make their debut.

I just hadn't found a suitable opportunity to say it, but I didn't expect Fatty Wang to be so sensible.

Lu Jin then said, "What Brother Wang said is also fine. However, it's not that we necessarily want to make the Sanyi Sect famous, but rather that young people these days have too few opportunities to practice. With so many prominent families here today, and the Old Celestial Master here as well, with so many people protecting and supporting them, the younger generation can fully demonstrate their abilities on stage. If any problems arise, we can intervene in time."

Lu Jin looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "Old Master, what do you think?"

The old master smiled and said, "I think it's a good idea. It's good for the children to have a game."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin quickly said, "Then you'd better call your precious tenth brother up to show off."

The old master narrowed his eyes and glanced sideways at Lu Jin: "Old Lu, the way you said that is rather ill-intentioned!"

“Zhang Lingyu has been trained by you for so many years, aren’t we all curious about his methods?” Lu Jin looked at the people at the table. “Don’t you all agree?”

"That's bullshit," Lu Ci said bluntly. "Old Lu, stop pretending to be righteous. Aren't you just trying to get revenge on the younger generation?"

"Don't bite people indiscriminately," Lu Jin said irritably.
