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

Chapter 100 Dealing with the Cancer, 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 loitering 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 bottom, and he succinctly summarized it: "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, looking 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 relying on the kindness of 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 community 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 still valued the sect's reputation.

"Grandpa, times have changed. Black and red are still red, after all." 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 on his own initiative, the fact that he can learn real skills from so many different sects shows that he has considerable 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 family history before hiring. He can't be that bad. There's no question of us entrusting him to the wrong person."

"If he can't learn it, it's because he asked for it himself. If he makes any mistakes during practice, it's none of your business."

Then, 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 annoying that someone had so shamelessly learned his methods, upon closer reflection, Li Chang'an's words did 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 give him a test."

Lu Jin said earnestly, "If he passes the test, I will teach him the techniques. If he fails, for his own life's sake, no matter how shamelessly he begs, I absolutely will 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 him with a 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 do you plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam, Grandpa?" 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, we can have some peace and quiet." Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

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 them." 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 a walnut, and even buttoned up a button on his floral shirt. He then bowed respectfully and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Master Lu, this junior, Na Rubao, 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 said with a Beijing accent. "After my brother took over, you took good care of him. My brother has always remembered that kindness. As for what you asked for, he 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, sir? I heard about him in the capital; he became famous overnight at the disciple-acceptance banquet. Seeing him today, he truly has an extraordinary bearing and a magnificent presence."

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 is still as elegant as ever!" Lu Lin said with a smile, but the smile looked stiff no matter how you looked at it.

"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 further," 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 a few rounds of drinks, Na Rubao put down his glass and said seriously, "Master Lu, the equipment is in the truck behind. Now that I have some time and I'm sober, 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 dials. 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 must be increased gradually."

"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 dare to offer this advice: we only have one life, so you must be extremely careful when using this thing!"
