But the next second, he caught his breath.
Because a member of the Lu family came and knocked on the door, saying that Ru Bao from Xigu Pavilion wanted to see them.
Lu Lin's expression froze on the spot. Her brows furrowed little by little, and the corners of her mouth turned down. But she was too embarrassed to show it too obviously, so she could only stand there awkwardly.
That leopard is the younger brother of that tiger. His arrival means the high-voltage electric horizontal training equipment has arrived.
"Chang'an, Lin'er, let's go greet her." Lu Jin stepped out of the study first.
The group arrived at the main gate.
A truck was parked outside, and next to it stood a very conspicuous bald man with a face full of fat, high brow bones, and slightly upturned eyes, exuding an air of intimidating gangsters.
He held a cigar in his left hand and twirled two walnuts in his right. He wore a floral shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing half of his arm tattoo.
Standing there, he looked just like a troublemaker who had just wandered out of an alley.
But the moment he saw Lu Jin, his expression instantly turned serious. He stubbed out his cigar, put away the walnuts, and even buttoned up one of the buttons on his floral shirt. He then bowed respectfully and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
“Master Lu, I am Na Rubao. I delivered the items on behalf of my brother. I apologize for the delay of a few days.”
Narubao was Naruhu's younger brother.
If we say that Ruhu is the reputation and prestige of Xigu Pavilion.
That leopard is the hidden agent of the Ancient Pavilion.
In Narubao's own words, his elder brother was a hero, and he was a genius.
Heroes stand tall and upright.
A wise and capable person is always aware of the times.
So, although he seemed arrogant and acted eccentrically, in the capital city, where a single brick could hit a big shot, he actually never got into any trouble.
He speaks to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language. When he sees Lu Jin, who has lived a flawless life, even Ru Bao becomes serious.
Lu Jin greeted her with a smile: "Thank you for making this trip. Please come in."
"It's no trouble at all." Na Rubao spoke with a Beijing accent: "After my brother took over, you took good care of him. My brother has always remembered this favor. As for what you asked for, my brother immediately instructed me to take care of it."
"You're too kind, Xiao Na," Lu Jin said with a wave of his hand and a smile.
Na Rubao chuckled and turned to look at Li Chang'an and Lu Lin: "This must be your newly accepted disciple, right? I heard about him in the capital; he became famous overnight at the disciple-acceptance banquet. Seeing him today, he is indeed extraordinary, with the bearing of a dragon and the grace of a phoenix."
He then looked at Lu Lin, "This must be Young Master Lu Lin, right? The last time I saw you, you were still in elementary school. Now you're so tall."
Li Chang'an nodded to the leopard-like creature: "You flatter me."
"Your demeanor remains as elegant as ever!" Lu Lin said with a smile, though the smile looked rather stiff.
"Xiao Na, don't just stand at the door. Come inside, I'll arrange some drinks, and we can eat and chat," Lu Jin said.
“Alright then. This junior will accept the offer without being impolite and will trouble you greatly,” Na Rubao replied.
The banquet at the Lu family's house wasn't extravagant, but it exuded elegance. Lu Ru's eating manners were also very refined, a stark contrast to his thuggish appearance at the entrance.
After several rounds of drinks, Na Rubao put down his wine glass and said earnestly:
“Mr. Lu, the equipment is in the truck behind. Now that I have some time and I’m fully awake, I need to explain to you how to use it.”
Afterwards, the group arrived at the compound. While they were eating, all the equipment from the truck had already been moved into the compound.
Narubao opened the box, revealing a metal device about half a person's height, entirely silver-gray, its surface covered with a dense array of knobs and dashboards. Several thick cables were coiled at the bottom of the box, their interfaces gleaming coldly.
Na Rubao patted the equipment and said, "The high-voltage electric cross-training device that my brother uses is actually a sophisticated frequency conversion and voltage stabilization system."
"We cultivators, though our bodies have far greater capacity to withstand stress than ordinary people, are not indestructible blocks of iron. The intensity of this electric current requires a gradual approach."
"The device has nine settings. The first setting has a current of only a few tens of milliamps, and its main function is to activate muscle fibers."
"When you reach the fifth level in the middle range, the current undergoes a qualitative change. The sensation is like countless thin steel needles stabbing your bone marrow."
"As for the last three gears, Mr. Lu, to be honest, my brother trained in external martial arts for thirty years before he dared to easily touch those gears. They are truly devastatingly exciting."
"When an electric current passes through the body, it generates extremely high temperatures. Even some highly skilled individuals with extraordinary abilities cannot easily attempt it, as it can truly burn a person to a crisp."
Narubao explained in great detail how to wire the circuit, how to adjust the voltage, how to set the current frequency, and how to attach the special sensor patch...
Even in the event of an accident, how to activate the emergency safety switch.
Li Chang'an listened attentively, nodding occasionally, asking about the subtle effects of electric current on the meridians, and recording every parameter.
Lu Lin stood aside, listening to the various descriptions of the leopard, and he felt that this thing looked exactly like an execution rack.
Lu Jin stepped forward and touched the huge instrument that shone with a cold luster. A long-lost sense of excitement rose from the deepest part of his heart.
After explaining the last point of attention, Naru Bao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lu Jin.
"Master Lu, as a junior, I must still dare to give you a word of advice: we only have one life, so you must be very careful when using this thing!"
Chapter 101 begins the high-voltage electric cross-training.
Narubao didn't linger; after explaining how to use it, he left.
Before leaving, he left behind an instruction manual that clearly explained each step.
Lu Jin, Li Chang'an, and Lu Lin took the instruction manual and gathered around the machine, carefully studying how to use it.
After gaining a thorough understanding, they did not immediately try it.
Instead, they went back to adjust their condition and prepared to try again after reaching their best state.
Li Chang'an did not let the machine disrupt his rhythm; he returned and continued his cultivation methodically.
But Lu Lin was not so calm.
He was restless all night, and even went online to look up the power of high voltage. It would have been better if he hadn't looked it up, because it made him even more restless.
The next morning.
After a whole night of cultivation in the living dead, Li Chang'an felt his internal organs were warm and moist, his meridians were unobstructed, and his whole body exuded a full sense of tranquility from the inside out.
He arrived at Lu Jin's courtyard.
Lu Lin had already arrived in the courtyard.
Good morning, senior brother!
Lu Lin greeted her.
Good morning, didn't sleep well?
Li Chang'an noticed that Lu Lin's already heavy dark circles had become even more pronounced.
“A little.” Lu Lin nodded.
"Worry?"
"A little."
"Don't worry, your senior brother will show you how."
A short while later, Lu Jin came out, wearing a white Sanyi robe.
Lu Jin usually wears a suit, but for formal occasions, he wears a white robe.
He glanced at Li Chang'an and Lu Lin, then nodded and said:
"Let's go try this new method."
The three of them arrived at a secluded little courtyard in the backyard. This place used to be a warehouse, but it had been cleared out yesterday to store the equipment.
Pushing open the door, you see a waist-high, silver-gray control panel with a large number of precision knobs. Next to it stands a power distribution box with a row of indicator lights on it, humming a low electrical sound.
After the installation was completed yesterday, Lu Jin asked someone from the company to handle the project registration and electricity connection application, since it's not very compliant to use this kind of thing at home.
Lu Jin stood beside the machine, his gaze sweeping over his two apprentices: "You remember how to use it, right?"
"remember."
Li Chang'an and Lu Lin both spoke.
“Okay!” Lu Jin nodded: “Then I’ll go first, Chang’an, you can take control.”
Li Chang'an: "Let me do it."
Lu Lin: "Grandpa, I'll go first!"
The two spoke at the same time.
"no!"
Lu Jin frowned and said, "I am your master. I should be the one to do this first. Moreover, my cultivation is much stronger than yours. It is safest for me to test whether this method is feasible."
"Grandpa, you're getting old..."
Before Lu Lin could finish speaking, Lu Jin glared at her, silencing her.
"Grandpa isn't so old that he can't walk anymore, it's not your place to stick your neck out."
Lu Lin shrank back. He was still very afraid of his great-grandfather. In the whole family, only Lu Linglong dared to stand up to him.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an laughed and said, "What's the big deal? Why are you making it sound like you're going to the execution ground?"
"I think we shouldn't take this too seriously. Isn't it just a device to assist with external physical training?"
"We didn't just turn the knob to the highest setting right away. Didn't Ru Bao make it very clear?"
"The first setting of this machine only has a few tens of milliamps of current. Can't we just increase it little by little?"
Li Chang'an looked at Lu Jin and said, "Grandpa, your cultivation is strong. If this thing has too low a power, it won't be useful to you. If it has too high a power, we may not be able to control it. It's better if we go first and you can control it from the outside. If there is any emergency, you can intervene in time."
Then, Li Chang'an looked at Lu Lin and said, "Cousin, don't argue with me. I have a stronger sense of myself than you. I can better understand the changes when I go up, so it's most appropriate for me to go first."
Faced with Li Chang'an's words, Lu Jin and Lu Lin found it difficult to refute. After some back and forth, Li Chang'an was the first to conduct the experiment.
Li Chang'an took off his loose outer robe, bare-chested, and sat on the chair directly in front of the machine. He placed his hands on his knees, palms up, in a relaxed posture as if he were meditating.
Lu Lin carefully attached several extremely thick conductive patches to Li Chang'an's limbs, deliberately avoiding the chest, abdomen, and head areas. After all, Li Chang'an was not yet able to transform his internal organs with Qi, so this would greatly reduce the intensity of the current passing through the internal organs.
This machine has two modes.
One type is segmented pulse.
Another type is high-frequency pulses.
The former is intermittent discharge, and the frequency depends on the operator.
The latter is a high-intensity, continuous discharge.
For the first attempt, to be on the safe side, we naturally started with segmented pulses.
"Let's begin," Li Chang'an said calmly.
Lu Jin stood in front of the control panel, turned the knob to the first position, and pressed the start button.
"Buzz!"
The machine emitted a buzzer, and high-voltage current surged into Li Chang'an's body through the patch.
Li Chang'an closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the sensation.
This level of current posed no threat to him in his reverse-generation state; it only brought him a tingling sensation.
“No feeling, shift to second gear,” Li Chang’an said.
Lu Jin turned the knob to the second position.
This intensity of current is equivalent to electrocution interrogation and can easily take a person's life.
However, in the reverse life state, this level of intensity was practically non-existent for Li Chang'an; he didn't even change his breathing rhythm.
"Continue, third gear."
Lu Jin turned the knob, and the pointer on the dashboard jumped to third gear.
"Snapped!"
A dark blue arc of electricity exploded at the patch.
At its current intensity, even a single touch could be fatal to an ordinary person.
Even for those superhumans who lack protective means, this level of strength is still deadly.
At this intensity, Li Chang'an could clearly feel his muscles twitching. The electric current was no longer just staying on the surface of his skin; it began to pierce through his muscles like steel needles and start impacting his internal organs.
