"Grandpa, have you broken through to a higher level?"
Lu Jin stopped laughing and looked at his two disciples in front of him:
"Although I haven't made a breakthrough yet, I've made progress. After stagnating for so many years, I've finally made progress again. I have a feeling that if I do it ten or eight more times, I will take a real step forward."
He persisted in his practice for nearly a century, but stagnated for many years. Finally, today he sees a glimmer of hope for progress.
The joy this brings is something that others cannot comprehend.
Li Chang'an said, "Grandpa, progress is a good thing, but you must be careful not to overdo it like I did."
Li Chang'an dared to do that because he had the awareness of the intermediate state (bardo) within him.
He knows his bottom line very well and when to stop.
But others don't have this advantage.
Lu Jin is already a centenarian, and Li Chang'an doesn't want him to make a mistake in this matter.
"Chang'an, don't worry, Grandfather values his life far more than you think!" Lu Jin said in a deep voice.
He actually still has the capacity to rebuild himself a few more times; it's not impossible for him.
But when he thought of Li Chang'an's earlier retreat, which was so similar to his master's, he immediately became less aggressive.
He was old, and the innate Qi in his body was far less abundant than when he was young. He was unwilling to risk his life in the slightest.
He must live a good life.
He wants to rebuild the Trinity Gate.
He wants to cultivate the Reverse Life Triple Technique to the third level.
He also wanted to avenge his deceased fellow disciples.
He can't afford to get into trouble here.
After carefully examining himself, Lu Jin exited the reversal state.
As soon as he withdrew, a feeling of weakness washed over him, just like Li Chang'an's experience before, only slightly less severe.
Lu Jin took a deep breath, steadied himself, and said:
"This method does have a very obvious effect on training, but it also has a large deficit. It cannot be done too frequently. Cultivation is a slow and steady process. It is enough to train once every ten days or half a month. Too frequent training will be harmful."
Li Chang'an nodded: "That's what I think too. We need to give our bodies enough time to recover, otherwise we'll hurt ourselves."
Chapter 106 Li Chang'an's Nickname in the Martial Arts World
High-voltage electric shocks deplete the body.
In the following days, Li Chang'an did not continue to maintain his reversal of life.
He shed his white aura, his black hair fell to his shoulders, and he returned to the appearance of an ordinary young man. He meditated and circulated his qi every day, practiced swordsmanship and offered sacrifices to his sword, and ate on time.
He has the awareness of the intermediate state (bardo) regarding mental and physical depletion, and can make minor adjustments and recover at any time.
However, the damage to the body can only be replenished by digesting and transforming food and water.
Properly digesting food and water can also be beneficial for the recovery of the mind and spirit.
The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic states: "The heart stores the spirit, the lungs store the corporeal soul, the liver stores the ethereal soul, the spleen stores the intention, and the kidneys store the will; these are the five organs that store the spirit."
Therefore, although the mind may seem to belong only to the realm of sex, sex and life have been inseparable since ancient times.
Nourishing the five internal organs that govern "life" through dietary supplements is also very beneficial for cultivating sexual energy.
Lu Jin is absolutely willing to spend a lot of money on dietary supplements.
Li Chang'an practically ate century-old ginseng, he shou wu, and ling zhi as his staple food, leaving the other members of the Lu family dumbfounded.
The value of each of these meals could probably buy a house in some small cities.
Of course, at this time, housing prices had not yet risen sharply.
Previously, the Lu family had some complaints about this, feeling that they had raised a money-devouring beast.
But after witnessing Li Chang'an's terrifying strength, all doubts disappeared, and people even felt that geniuses should be like that.
This shows that his efficiency in transporting and transforming postnatal water and grains is astonishing.
Ultimately, large families are never afraid of investing; what they fear is having no return at all.
After a few days, Li Chang'an's withered figure became strong and upright again, and his dry hair regained its smooth luster.
During this time, news of his dominance over everyone at the apprentice-acceptance banquet spread far and wide.
The most widely circulated story is the scene where he pinned Zhang Lingyu down in the pit and beat him.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words.
The image is from Lao Tianshi's Penguin Space posts.
Because of his white clothes and white hair, coupled with his aloof and untainted temperament, he was given the nickname "Little Immortal".
The word "immortal" sounds grand, but the word "little" in front of it makes it seem much smaller. There are many similar nicknames in the circle, such as Hong Bin of the Huode Sect, whose nickname is "Little Fire God".
Moreover, some forces also wanted to win over Li Chang'an.
Although Li Chang'an has already become a disciple of Lu Jin and is considered a member of the Sanyi Sect, this does not prevent him from forming alliances with other forces.
After all, winning someone over doesn't necessarily mean poaching someone from your own organization. Building good relationships, forming positive connections, and even going further by arranging a marriage alliance are all extremely common things.
The fastest to act was the World Society.
The Tianxia Society and the Lu family have some business collaborations, and in the past, these matters were negotiated by the managers of both families.
But this time, the Feng siblings actually came in person and took the opportunity to inquire about Li Chang'an's situation.
The two siblings greatly admired Li Chang'an and wanted to get to know him better.
As a result, Li Chang'an stayed in a cave in the back mountain for seclusion, without his mobile phone, so he could not be contacted at all and could not receive guests.
In the end, it was Lu Lin who came forward to receive them.
The three chatted for a while before the Feng siblings said goodbye and left.
"Sis, shall we come again tomorrow?"
Feng Xingtong said at the entrance of the Lu family's residence.
Feng Shayan glanced back at the Lu family's gate.
She was the most obedient to her father among the Feng family's generation.
She desperately wanted her father's approval, and she would even sacrifice some of her own thoughts to obey his orders.
"Let me ask my father," she said.
Having lived for a hundred years and served as the head of the family for so many years, Lu Jin could see through Feng Zhenghao's plans at a glance.
Feng Zhenghao had previously hinted that Feng Xingtong and Lu Linglong were of similar age and both were beautiful, so the two families could visit each other more often. He was implying that he wanted to arrange a marriage between their children. Now, he's using the same trick again.
However, Lu Jin saw through it but didn't say anything, nor did he intend to interfere. Li Chang'an always had his own ideas, and as long as he didn't go astray, he wouldn't care who he associated with.
After Li Chang'an emerged from seclusion, Lu Lin told him that people from the World Society had come to visit, wanting to make his acquaintance, and asked if he wanted to meet them.
Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Let's just let it go if we miss it."
He didn't care much about such things, not because he disliked the World Society, but because it was just unfortunate that he was currently cultivating.
One should have principles in life and priorities in work. He didn't want to disrupt his spiritual practice rhythm because of some trivial matters.
Regarding Li Chang'an's decision.
Lu Jin was quite pleased; the saying that wine, women, wealth, and power corrupt people's minds was no joke.
He has lived for a hundred years and has seen too many people fail because of this.
Many people are exceptionally talented in their youth, and once they enter the world of entertainment, they are surrounded by admirers and receive praise and adoration wherever they go.
Then, without realizing it, one loses their moral compass, indulging in sensual pleasures and debauchery, and by the time they finally realize their mistake, it's too late.
Having become tainted by the restlessness of the world, he could no longer calm his mind. He could only watch his peers surpass him one by one, leaving him behind, and sigh at the impermanence of life in front of the mirror.
The mortal world is like a tiger; once you enter it, you'll be bewildered by all its allure. Some things should be restrained.
The Tianxia Society wasn't the only ones trying to win over Li Chang'an; the Wang and Lü families were also among them.
However, their methods were more sophisticated than Feng Zhenghao's.
Instead of going directly to Li Chang'an, they spoke with Lu Jin about rebuilding the Sanyi Gate.
After all, Lu Jin had just announced the return of Sanyi, and the next step would definitely be to start working on re-establishing the sect.
And this was indeed something Lu Jin couldn't refuse.
For him, rebuilding Sany is not just a slogan.
However, creating a sect that can be passed down for generations is by no means an easy task.
Although the Lu family is quite wealthy, as the head of the family, he must be responsible for the entire family.
He couldn't possibly allocate the Lu family's resources to the Sanyi Sect continuously.
It is actually quite necessary to accept some external help.
The group discussed some specific matters.
Wang Ai suggested that the sect should re-establish its main gate, choosing a location with convenient transportation, nestled against the mountains and by the water, where both the source of students and their livelihoods could be easily secured, as the new headquarters of the sect.
But Lu Jin didn't want to start from scratch; he still wanted to use the old site of the Sanyi Gate.
After all, it was the place where his master, uncles, and fellow disciples had lived, and it held too many memories for him; he couldn't bear to part with it.
However, the original site of the Trinity Gate was too remote, located on a dangerous peak rarely visited by people.
When Master Lin Zhaoen chose this site, he wanted a quiet place.
As a result, while it became quiet, access was only possible via a narrow path along a cliff, making the construction and renovation extremely difficult.
The most crucial issues are student enrollment and livelihood.
For a sect to continue to develop, it must have a way of making a living, just like the martial arts school of the Tang Sect or the crosstalk of the Deyun Society, otherwise it will be difficult to continue.
In fact, the reason why the Sanyi Sect was able to continue to exist was because their master would go down the mountain to "beg for alms".
Master's reputation was so great that many big shots were willing to spend real money to befriend him. For example, the father of "bad boy" Li Muxuan was one of the big spenders of the Sanyi Sect at that time.
However, this model is always difficult to sustain. He personally felt that it would be best to have a sect or industry.
But what kind of business can one make in the deep mountains and forests?
Lu Jin was worried about this for several days.
He naturally wouldn't ask Li Chang'an and Lu Lin about such things; he could only figure it out himself.
That day, Lu Jin was sitting in his study, deep in thought, when his phone rang.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was Zhang Zhiwei calling.
"What's that old bastard up to now?"
Lu Jin pressed the answer button, and the old master's voice came from the phone.
"Old Lu, Jinzhong has already seen the programs you arranged. He's very happy and wants to thank you!"
Then, Tian Jinzhong answered the phone.
On the phone, he sincerely congratulated Lu Jin on taking on two good disciples, and said that he hoped to see the Sanyi Sect reopen its gates in his lifetime.
Lu Jin laughed heartily and repeatedly said, "Definitely, definitely."
But Zhang Zhiwei has a very sharp ear; even through the phone line, he could tell that Lu Jin's laughter was hiding something.
He asked it casually.
Lu Jin wasn't afraid that Zhang Zhiwei would gossip about this, so she told him.
After listening, Zhang Zhiwei laughed on the other end of the phone: "You're all frowning over this? I thought it was something serious. Lao Lu, you're too stubborn. What's so hard to solve?"
