Under One Person: The Forbidden Files of the Magician

Inside the study of the head of the Lu family compound.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the carved wooden windows, casting warm dappled light into the rustic study.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood and the smell of ink from old books.

Lu Jin, Lu Lin, and Lu Linglong, the three generations of the family, sat around a large desk, but their eyes were all focused on the same person—Lu Xiaobai, who was sitting quietly in a mahogany armchair.

Lu Xiaobai lowered his head slightly, his expression focused.

He held a book in his hands that was clearly quite old, with a slightly mottled blue cover, and four powerful and ancient characters that were clearly visible: "Rebirth in Three Stages".

His slender fingers turned the yellowed pages smoothly, reading at an extremely fast pace, turning a page almost every few seconds.

However, in those eyes that always seemed to hold a hint of unapproachability or calmness...

At this moment, however, the words on the pages are clearly reflected, sometimes flashing with a look of amazement, sometimes with a slight frown, revealing a thoughtful doubt.

This astonishing reading speed is clearly not a superficial glance, but rather the result of his extraordinary comprehension skills operating at high efficiency.

Sitting in the main seat, Lu Jin looked at the quiet young man turning the pages of a book with a complicated expression.

His thoughts drifted away.

The dignified yet kind figure of his master in his mind unconsciously overlapped with the focused profile of Lu Xiaobai in front of him.

"Law! Companion! Wealth! Land!"

The four words his master had earnestly taught him years ago resonated in his heart once more, like the deepest bell.

"Dharma" naturally refers to the fundamental cultivation method of oneself, such as this book "Reversed Rebirth Triple" and the guidance from senior disciples.

"Wealth" refers to the resources and money that support spiritual practice, allowing practitioners to remain unburdened by worldly possessions.

"Earth" is a precious place that gathers the Qi of heaven and earth, nourishes life, and can better temper one's life cultivation.

Gathering these three items is incredibly difficult for ordinary people, but for the Lu family, one of the four great families, it's simply a legacy from their ancestors.

As long as one has the right aptitude and temperament, it can be obtained easily.

The only word that Lu Jin pondered for many years was "lover," yet he could never understand it.

This is definitely not just a simple matter of being a partner...

It wasn't until he met the young man before him that he felt as if the clouds had parted and the sun was shining through, and he vaguely touched upon the true meaning of the "companion" that his master had been searching for.

That is a companion with whom you can find common ground and shared insights on the long and lonely path of spiritual practice.

It can answer your questions when you are confused and provide guidance when you are lost.

Even in critical moments, they will not hesitate to lend a helping hand, regard you as a true confidant, and do their best to help you.

And this, perhaps, is the "companion" that the master has longed for all his life but has never found.

Lu Jin's gaze grew increasingly profound, filled with reminiscence and enlightenment.

Lu Lin, standing beside him, was equally focused, her eyes showing both respect for the Triple Rebirth and curiosity about Lu Xiaobai's unique insights.

Lu Linglong, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hands, her big eyes sparkling.

He would occasionally glance at his grandfather, then at his older cousin, but most of the time he would look at Lu Xiaobai.

Her face was filled with pure curiosity, her eyes held a mysterious curiosity about Lu Xiaobai, as well as an inexplicable sense of closeness.

It was precisely because of Lu Linglong, this cheerful and carefree girl, that a relaxed atmosphere and positive emotional value were provided.

This prevented the study from becoming too dull due to Lu Xiaobai's focus and Lu Jin's contemplation.

While the three generations of the family, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, were all focused on Lu Xiaobai, who was rapidly turning the pages of his book,

Time seemed to slow down, and only the soft rustling of turning pages remained in the study.

I do not know how long it has been,

A soft sound of a book closing rang out.

Lu Xiaobai closed the book: "Rebirth Triple".

Although the sound was very soft, it was like a pebble thrown into calm water, instantly bringing the three members of the Lu family back to their senses from their reverie.

Lu Xiaobai raised his head, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three expectant faces in front of him.

She nodded slightly: "Yes, it's alright."

fine?

If other extraordinary individuals were to use the word "not bad" to describe this peerless martial art, which was once hailed as the number one mystical sect in the world and the Sanyi Sect, then...

This is utterly arrogant and could even be seen as provocative.

However, the three members of the Lu family present had just witnessed another incredible "triple" realm and understood the unfathomable mystery of the young man before them.

They did not feel arrogant at all.

On the contrary, I feel that... this evaluation is even a bit too modest and restrained.

Lu Jin stroked his beard, his eyes asking, "Little Bai, what do you think of this cultivation technique..."

Lu Xiaobai gently placed the book back on the table, his voice still steady, but he spoke a longer passage again:

"I've reviewed the general outline and core principles of the technique."

"The main cultivation path, and the effects that can be achieved after successful cultivation—accelerating the tempering of life force, strengthening the physical body, repairing physical damage during operation, and the final state of 'Qi transformation'..."

"I can also analyze these key points in general."

He paused, his gaze falling on the blue cover, and continued:

"However, modifying cultivation methods is no easy task, nor can it be accomplished overnight."

"I can only offer some... directional suggestions based on my current understanding."

Before you know it,

Lu Xiaobai has said quite a lot today.

This is in stark contrast to his usual "aloof" and taciturn nature, and even his occasional unapproachable demeanor.

In addition to the relaxed atmosphere provided by Lu Linglong,

More importantly, he discovered something that truly interested him, or rather, something worthy of in-depth study.

These research subjects may be the unique energy guidance models in the techniques, or the logic behind the core concept of "reversal" that challenges conventional physical rules.

Or perhaps it is a potential connection between the "Qi transformation" state and higher-dimensional energy states.

Although the number may be small, or the understanding may not be fully thorough.

But these "points" were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, arousing his instinctive curiosity and desire to explore as a researcher.

"This book is about the final stage of the Dual Realm..."

Lu Xiaobai was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.

The bridge between souls allowed him to sense that something unexpected seemed to be happening on his clone's side.

Almost at the same moment—

"Buzz...buzz..."

A very faint, yet remarkably clear, cell phone vibration came from the inside pocket of his white trench coat.

Lu Xiaobai remained expressionless and his actions showed no hesitation.

He quickly took out his phone from his inner pocket, and the screen clearly showed the caller ID: Xu San.

His long, slender fingers swiped across the screen to answer the call.

On the other end of the phone, Xu San's voice immediately came through, extremely anxious and even a little panicked. The volume was so loud that even the three members of the Lu family standing nearby could vaguely hear it:

"Xiao Bai, something terrible has happened! Zhang Chulan is in trouble!"
