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

Lu Lin swallowed hard and turned to look at Lu Jin: "Grandpa, what do you think?"

"I think it's worth a try! Who knows, it might actually be very rewarding."

Lu Jin said enthusiastically, "Don't be afraid, Grandpa will lead you in training!"

Grandpa really wants to practice… Lu Lin was taken aback and couldn’t help but whisper a reminder:

“Grandpa, you are over a hundred years old. You can’t take such a risk.”

Lu Jin glanced at him and asked, "Why is Lin'er so resistant to this? Are you afraid of the pain?"

Lu Lin paused for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Grandpa, it's not that I'm afraid of hardship. I just feel that using physical training to cultivate a Qi-transformed body is a bit illogical. Besides, it's too risky."

He stammered, "Senior Brother Chang'an is the future hope of our Sanyi Sect. You are the current pillar of the Sanyi Sect. This high voltage is no joke. I'm worried that something might happen to you."

Li Chang'an glanced at Lu Lin with some surprise.

It was quite unusual to hear Lu Lin, who is usually so reserved, say these words, which shows that he genuinely cares about their safety.

Lu Jin also realized what was happening. He reached out and patted Lu Lin's shoulder, speaking gently:

“Lin’er, your grandfather and Chang’an understand your feelings, but the most important thing in the cultivation of reversing life is to find the path. Since we think this path may be feasible, let’s give it a try. Don’t worry, we will know what we’re doing.”

Seeing this, Lu Lin didn't know what else to say.

Since both his senior brother and his grandfather wanted to try, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany them.

At worst, he'll be the first one to step up.

In fact, Lu Jin's support for Li Chang'an's idea was not only due to his trust in Li Chang'an, but also related to his own experiences.

He personally witnessed his master successfully breaking through the three levels during his battle with Wugensheng.

He also knew the effects of Wugensheng's divine power; it could instantly dismantle the reverse life state.

In other words, during that battle, the master was constantly in a state of reconstruction, being dismantled, reconstruction, and being dismantled...

Doesn't this just prove what Li Chang'an said earlier?

Therefore, his mindset changed from initially just wanting to give it a try to becoming determined to try it, and even to try it himself.

In fact, his progress in cultivating against the natural order has stagnated for many years.

But now, he suddenly sees a glimmer of hope for progress.

……

……

After the apprenticeship banquet ended, the older and younger members of the Lu family, who had specially traveled from all over the country to prepare for the banquet, all left.

Lu Linglong, carrying her bulging backpack, along with Zhi Jinhua and Bai Shixue, reluctantly returned to the capital.

The Lu family compound, which had been bustling for several days, suddenly became quiet.

Before Li Chang'an returned to his life, he spent his days either in the cave behind the mountain, where he would train his life force in a living dead state, or reading books and refining his sword in the courtyard. His days were quite peaceful.

But Lu Lin's days were not so peaceful.

He was approached by Wang Zhenqiu, known as the "Southwest Cancer".

After his match with Li Chang'an, Wang Zhenqiu became completely fixated on the Reverse Life Triple Realm.

He originally intended to go directly to Li Chang'an and plead with him.

But Li Chang'an often lived like a living dead in the cave, and there was a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds at the entrance of the cave, so Wang Zhenqiu could not find him at all.

Left with no other choice, he could only set his sights on Lu Lin, who went to school every day.

And so, Lu Lin's nightmare began.

As soon as Lu Lin stepped out the door in the morning, Wang Zhenqiu eagerly offered her classic breakfast items such as steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.

At noon, Lu Lin was eating in the school cafeteria when Wang Zhenqiu sat opposite him with his tray, calling him "Brother Lin" repeatedly, which gave Lu Lin goosebumps.

After school, Wang Zhenqiu would stick to him like a leech, trying to curry favor.

Lu Lin took a detour, and Wang Zhenqiu followed suit.

Lu Lin quickened her pace, and Wang Zhenqiu jogged to keep up.

Lu Lin ignored him, so he just kept talking to himself.

Lu Lin was an introverted and socially anxious person to begin with, and being clung to by such a socially awkward guy every day was simply torture.

In the end, Lu Lin had no choice but to ask her great-grandfather to intervene.

In fact, Lu Jin had been harassed by Wang Zhenqiu before, but with his strength, getting rid of Wang Zhenqiu was still easy.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Zhenqiu found Lu Lin, who was the easiest opponent to break through.

Having no other choice, in order to prevent her grandson from being harassed, Lu Jin had to call Wang Zhenqiu to the reception room to discuss the matter.

He didn't put on airs like one of the Ten Elders, but instead, as an elder, solemnly told Wang Zhenqiu about the various risks of reverse cultivation, hoping to discourage him from trying.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu not only did not back down, but also said in a serious tone:

"Master Lu! I understand everything you're saying! Cultivation is never easy!"

"If I give up learning because it's difficult, I won't be able to accumulate all these skills."

"Don't worry, as long as you're willing to teach me, even if I develop problems while practicing, I won't blame you at all."

"I even had you sign the disclaimer in advance!"

Lu Jin looked at the disclaimer that Wang Zhenqiu handed her and was speechless.

"This isn't about being exempt from liability; it's about following the rules!"

"I understand the rules! I understand them all! Although I, Wang Zhenqiu, may be a bit thick-skinned, I follow the rules the most."

"I never pass on the skills I learn; they're all kept secret. That's why everyone is willing to pass them on to me!"

Wang Zhenqiu's tone was extremely sincere: "Moreover, Master Lu, if you pass on your knowledge to me, then the affairs of the Sanyi Sect will be my affairs, Wang Zhenqiu's affairs. I will go through fire and water for you."

"I absolutely treat Sanyimen like my own home. If anyone dares to say a single bad word about Sanyimen, I'll be the first to tear their mouth apart!"

"Look, by taking me in, you not only gain an excellent successor, but also a highly loyal top-notch enforcer for free. What a worthwhile deal!"

Wang Zhenqiu's honeyed words were full of sweet talk.

Lu Jin was truly at a loss when faced with this stubborn and shameless guy.

Go ahead and scold him... His attitude was impeccable, calling him "Master Lu" repeatedly, as respectful as if he were meeting a close elder.

If you ignore him... he'll pester Lu Lin every day, rain or shine, even more punctual than if he were going to school.

Let's take action against him... He's a temporary worker in the Southwest region, and he hasn't done anything wrong. He just wanted to learn a skill, so we can't be too harsh on him for that.

Lu Jin is a gentleman.

A virtuous person can be fearless in the face of death and can act chivalrously and righteously.

But what a gentleman fears most is this kind of smiling rogue.

Therefore, he was exploited by Zhang Zhiwei for his entire life, and not long ago, Zhang Zhiwei even forced him to send a performance troupe to Longhu Mountain.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Jin told Wang Zhenqiu to go back first and give him three days to consider it. He would give him an answer after three days.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu knew things were looking promising.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu! Please take your time to consider it, I'm not in a hurry!"

Wang Zhenqiu bowed three times to Lu Jin, then quickly slipped out.

Watching the blond-haired man's retreating figure, Lu Jin sighed deeply: "Headache!"

Chapter 100 Dealing with a Malignant Tumor: High-Voltage Electricity Training Equipment

The next morning, Lu Jin summoned Li Chang'an and Lu Lin to his study.

The three of them sat around a rosewood desk. Lu Jin poured tea, explained the situation, and then asked the other two what they thought.

Speaking of this, Lu Lin glanced resentfully at Li Chang'an sitting opposite her.

"Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?" Li Chang'an asked.

"Senior brother, you've gotten some peace and quiet, but it's made me suffer!"

"Have you made a move yet?" Li Chang'an asked.

Lu Jin also looked over curiously.

"Move..." Lu Lin nodded with difficulty, "Let's do it!"

"Have you fought yet?"

“He didn’t win…but he didn’t lose either!” Lu Lin said. “I thought he wouldn’t be difficult to deal with since he couldn’t even last two or three moves against my senior brother. But after a few exchanges, I didn’t gain any advantage at all.”

Li Chang'an wasn't surprised. With Wang Zhenqiu's diverse skills, relying solely on his straightforward Reverse Life Triple Technique, it would indeed be difficult for him to gain an advantage if he couldn't crush his opponent.

"Has he caused you a lot of real trouble?" Li Chang'an asked.

Lu Lin thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, not really. Actually, this person is quite sensible and has never done anything out of line. It's just that he's like a ghost, very annoying, and his 'love massage' is also very annoying."

Lu Lin looked at Li Chang'an. He remembered that Wang Zhenqiu had used some kind of "love massage" to massage his senior brother that day. His senior brother didn't show any expression, so he thought it was just an ordinary massage.

Until the day before yesterday, he was eating in the school cafeteria when this guy suddenly came to give him a massage. If it weren't for his strong endurance and the fact that he had been practicing sexual cultivation as his senior brother had told him recently, he would have almost made a huge fool of himself.

Lu Jin nodded in agreement: "I also talked to him once. To be honest, it's not that he's without sense of boundaries. He knows where your bottom line is, but what's infuriating about him is that he just dangles right in front of it. He doesn't cross the line, but you can clearly see him hovering on the edge. You scold him, and he smiles obsequiously. You chase him away, and he leaves. You turn around, and he comes back."

"As for the rumors about him being gay, through these few interactions, I have found that although Wang Zhenqiu has a feminine appearance, he is not effeminate and has no homosexual tendencies. I suspect that the eldest disciple of the Huode Sect is the one who has such suspicions."

Li Chang'an naturally knew that Wang Zhenqiu wasn't a zero, and he made a pointed summary: "It's like a toad jumping onto your foot. It doesn't bite, but it's really annoying, right?"

Lu Jin and Lu Lin nodded in deep agreement.

Li Chang'an changed the subject and looked at Lu Jin: "Grandpa, has our Sanyi Sect ever accepted outsiders with prior skills as apprentices before?"

“I’ve accepted it.” Lu Jin said, “Back when the Sanyi Sect was at its peak, all the sects were willing to send their children here. I have a senior brother who is even a direct descendant of the Zhuge family of the Wuhou Sect. He joined my Sanyi Sect with his own skills.”

“Since there’s a precedent, why don’t we just take this kid under our wing?” Li Chang’an said.

Lu Jin frowned: "This kid has been fed by many families. Is it appropriate to take him under our wing?"

“There’s nothing wrong with it,” Li Chang’an said. “Grandpa, although our Sanyi Sect has made a name for itself, its presence in the entire world of supernatural beings is still too low, making it difficult for geniuses to come here.”

"This kid is such a troublemaker. After he learns the Reverse Life technique, he'll definitely cause trouble everywhere. He'll inevitably show off in front of others, which will only help raise our sect's profile."

"Wouldn't that ruin our reputation?" Lu Jin valued the sect's reputation highly.

“Grandpa, times have changed. Black and red are still red.” Li Chang’an laughed. “The main problem is that we have too few people in our sect now. You’ve been searching for so many years, but you haven’t found many suitable candidates to practice the Reverse Life Technique.”

"Now that this kid has come to us of his own accord, and he's been able to learn real skills from so many different sects, it shows he's got real talent. Why don't you let him give it a try?"

"If he can learn it, we'll have one more disciple. He's a company employee, and companies check three generations of their employees before hiring. He can't be that bad. There's no question of us entrusting him with the wrong person."

"If he can't learn it, then he asked for it himself. If he does make any mistakes during practice, it has nothing to do with you."

As he spoke, Li Chang'an turned to look at Lu Lin: "Cousin, what do you think?"

“Grandpa, I think the same as my senior brother.” Lu Lin quickly echoed, he just wanted to get rid of this pest as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Although it was a bit unsettling to have someone so shamelessly learn his methods, upon closer reflection, Li Chang'an's words did indeed make some sense. What the Sanyi Sect lacked most right now was indeed people.

"In that case, we can try passing it on to him. When passing on the technique, we'll invite a restriction master to set up a restriction that prevents it from being passed on to outsiders. However, before passing on the technique, I still need to test him."

Lu Jin said with a serious expression, "If he can pass the test, I will teach him the techniques. If he fails, for the sake of his life, no matter how shamelessly he begs, I will absolutely not teach him a single word!"

Li Chang'an could disregard Wang Zhenqiu's life or death and directly pass on his techniques, but Lu Jin couldn't do such a thing.

He is a person who takes responsibility for his choices his whole life, and he would never joke with the life of even the most stubborn person.

This is why he is known as having lived a flawless life.

"So, how does Grandpa plan to conduct the assessment?" Lu Lin asked.

“I plan to take him to the countryside, seal his Qi with a sealing talisman, and make him chop wood and carry water like an ordinary person to test his character and see if he is truly sincere,” Lu Jin said.

"How long does Grandpa plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam?" Li Chang'an asked.

"It could take as little as three months or as long as three years!"

Having finally found someone who had come to him of their own accord, Lu Jin decided to employ the classic lower-level assessment method.

"Finally, it's quiet." Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
