Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"And you are nothing."

Xia Liuqing rolled her eyes and stood up from the stone bench.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Muxuan grimaced in anger, but seeing Xia Liuqing get up, he quickly called out.

"Of course we went back."

"I've finished asking for your guidance, and I need to go back to practice now."

"We have another show this afternoon."

Xia Liuqing glanced at Li Muxuan with disdain.

This person isn't very capable, but he has quite a temper.

"Wait for me, I'll take you there!"

Seeing Xia Liuqing about to leave, Li Muxuan quickly got up and followed her.

"Li Gou Dan, go and come back soon."

Jingming, who was lying on the chair, called out and then immersed himself in the Lotus Dharma Body.

The wind blew by, and it seemed as if a lotus bud was swaying slightly in the void.

Jingming lay quietly on the recliner, [guiding] the inexplicable matter and qi in the void.

"What? You're saying that the child, once he got your divine mask, could immediately transform into the three-headed, six-armed form of Nezha?"

Inside the bamboo-framed stage, Master Huang hurried over to Xia Liuqing, who was reporting on his day's events.

"Self-taught, naturally gifted, a prodigy!"

"It's a pity that he became a disciple of the Trinity!"

After receiving Xia Liuqing's nod in agreement, Master Huang sighed heavily and then sat back down in his chair with a dejected expression.

“Master, I heard from Li Muxuan that Zhao Dezhu has not yet joined the Sanyi Sect.”

Seeing her master's dejected appearance, Xia Liuqing quickly offered an explanation.

Li Muxuan wanted to take his divine mask, so he naturally managed to extract a lot of information from Li Muxuan.

As a future villain and a mischievous child, one is born unruly and the other travels all over the country; neither is inferior to the other!

"so what."

"Given his family's relationship with the Trinity Sect, and now that he has displayed such talent, the Trinity Sect will not give way to him."

"And putting all that aside, given the reputation of the Trinity Sect, I would choose the Trinity Sect if it were me."

Huang Banzhu waved his hand dismissively, indicating that the matter should be dropped.

“Master, you could also demonstrate our great supernatural powers of witchcraft in front of Zhao Dezhu.”

"This way, Zhao Dezhu will witness Master's abilities and naturally think about joining our sect."

"That Grand Master Changying of the Sanyi Sect isn't here."

Xia Liuqing's eyes darted around, and she gave her master an idea.

"Alright, don't worry about this anymore, go practice your skills."

"This afternoon there will be a performance of your own Nezha Conquers the Dragon King."

"Take a good look at what that guy told you."

Master Huang, sitting in his chair, waved his hand, signaling Xia Liuqing to leave.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing what Master Huang said, Xia Liuqing could only nod and leave the room.

"Is he going to perform a miracle in front of people?"

"I'm afraid my little tricks won't fool that child."

"The other child, however, might be worth trying for."

Master Huang sat in his chair, smoking welding fumes, frowning as he pondered the matter.

"I am back!"

Li Muxuan's voice echoed in Jingming's courtyard.

"Oh, Gou Dan's been fighting again?"

"Thankfully, I didn't cry this time."

Jingming, who was practicing calligraphy, finished writing the large characters in front of him in one go before looking up at Li Muxuan.

Li Muxuan, who stepped forward, had a red abrasion on his left cheek. Needless to say, he had gotten into another fight with Xia Liuqing.

"Hmph, don't look down on me."

"I'm the only one who hasn't cultivated yet. Once I do, I'll beat you all to a pulp!"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Muxuan put his hands on his hips and shouted defiantly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Li is the best, the number one in the world!"

Jingming nodded, then continued to ask.

Are you having lunch at my house today?

"eat!"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Muxuan licked his lips and nodded in response.

"There is still an hour before lunch."

"Go read a book by yourself for a while."

Jingming nodded, then pointed to two books placed next to a recliner not far away.

After saying that, he spread out the paper again and began to copy Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion.

"Deok-joo, I have a question for you."

When Jingming was halfway through writing, Li Muxuan, holding a book, unconsciously reached out and touched him.

"Tell me what it is first."

Jingming remained composed, his calligraphy flowing smoothly across the Xuan paper.

"Could you teach me how to cultivate?"

Li Muxuan's face flushed slightly as he spoke in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

Jingming raised an eyebrow to confirm Li Muxuan's question.

"I said, can you teach me cultivation?!"

Li Muxuan's face was flushed, and he seemed to be puffing out his breath as he shouted at Jingming.

Is this how you ask for help?

With the last stroke, Jingming placed the brush on the inkstone, raised an eyebrow, and asked Li Muxuan a question.

"To learn a skill, one must apprentice under a master."

"You must have seen the accounting clerks in your shop apprenticing to apprentices, right?"

"That requires kowtowing and offering tea, treating him as a father."

Jingming looked quietly at Li Muxuan and spoke slowly.

"Are you prepared to have someone control you, and to be able to take any beatings or scoldings?"

"I"

"I'm ready!"

Under Jingming's watchful gaze, Li Muxuan gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down in front of Jingming.

"Don't be so anxious."

Li Muxuan did not kneel down in the end, and was directly supported by Jingming.

"Think twice before you act. You can't choose your birth; it's fate. But you can choose your master."

"This requires utmost caution."

"Besides, you don't worship me, and I don't know how to cultivate."

Jingming, holding Li Muxuan's arms, chuckled and said to Li Muxuan.

"Then how come you're so amazing?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Muxuan asked with a surprised expression.

"I don't know, maybe it's innate."

"I can feel a flow of Qi within my body when I eat and sleep."
