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

Chapter 103 Huge Improvement

"Continue, sir!"

Li Chang'an said.

Lu Jin realized what was happening and quickly tried again.

The result remains the same.

Li Chang'an's reversal state has adapted to this intensity of current and will no longer be torn apart.

Lu Jin's eyes widened: "You really have become stronger."

Although he had suspected it beforehand, he was still so excited that he trembled when he witnessed it with his own eyes.

We've found the way forward.

In truth, Lu Jin has been in a state of dormancy for far too long at his current level.

It's not that he's too mediocre to improve, but that he's afraid to.

He feared that if he failed to pass the test, the lineage of the Sanyi Sect would be cut off.

He was also afraid that if he failed to pass the test, he would never be able to take revenge, so he kept standing still.

But now, Sany not only has successors, but he also sees a direction to move forward.

"Master!"

Lu Jin recalled that figure in white, as pure as snow, and her eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face.

This book is first published on 111k.com, providing you with a reading experience without errors or disordered chapters.

Li Chang'an calmed his inner energy, and the intense white light in his eyes gradually subsided. Then he saw Lu Jin crying there.

He was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Grandpa, why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

Lu Jin, who was immersed in past emotions, was so choked by these words that she almost fainted.

He raised his sleeve, wiped his face haphazardly a couple of times, and said irritably, "What do you mean by 'dying'? Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! I'm crying tears of joy, you understand?"

Lu Lin realized what was happening and quickly walked over to Li Chang'an, removing the conductive patches from his hands and feet.

When the patch is removed, it makes a few slight crackling sounds, which is the release of residual static electricity into the air.

"Senior brother, how are you feeling?" Lu Lin asked with concern.

Lu Jin also came closer, her gaze sweeping over Li Chang'an several times: "How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Li Chang'an savored the experience and said, "Well, the first two settings were quite comfortable, like a massage."

"But it gets tough afterwards. It's like your whole body is being repeatedly forged on an anvil, and you have to fight against it and keep healing yourself."

"When this forging reaches a critical point, the reverse-generation state will be torn apart, and after it is rebuilt, the reverse-generation state will be a little firmer than before."

Li Chang'an thought for a moment and described it as follows: "It's not that it's become thicker, but that it's become denser. In the original structure, there were some tiny gaps and loose areas."

"In this process of tearing and rebuilding, these loose parts and gaps will be filled. After many repetitions, my regeneration has progressed a step further. The current can no longer tear it apart."

After listening, Lu Jin frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lu Lin didn't think too much about it; he was more concerned about something else: "Senior brother, with such a strong electric current entering your body just now, your skin can recover through healing, but what about your internal organs?"

"The first level of Reverse Rebirth can only transform the skin and flesh; it can't protect the internal organs. Won't it cause some damage?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin also looked at him. This was no joke.

Li Chang'an said, "Of course there will be damage. Such a strong current passes directly through the internal organs; cardiac arrest would be the least of the problems."

"Then you—" Lu Jin and Lu Lin's hearts jumped instantly.

"However, I have a way to deal with it."

The two were stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jin: "Can you not just finish what you were saying all at once?"

Lu Lin: "Could you please stop breathing so heavily when you speak?"

"7

Then, almost simultaneously, they both asked, "What's the solution?"

Li Chang'an explained, "I just mobilized the energy around the internal organs and constructed a cage-like structure, completely enveloping the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and other internal organs."

"That's it?" Lu Jin asked in surprise.

Lu Lin was also puzzled: "Your physical body couldn't withstand it, but after your internal organs are reinforced, you can resist it?"

Li Chang'an said, "This isn't exactly resistance; it's more like a force deflection. When the current enters, it only travels along the outer wall and doesn't penetrate into the internal organs. Simply put, I've created a Faraday cage inside the body."

"A Faraday cage?"

This answer left Lu Jin and Lu Lin looking at each other in astonishment.

As cultured people, they certainly know what a Faraday cage is.

That's basic common sense that's taught in junior high school physics textbooks.

"It can be used like this?" Lu Lin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Science could actually be applied to metaphysical cultivation?

"You've got a sharp mind, kid!" Lu Jin laughed loudly.

This made him think of his master again.

Back then, Master instructed his senior brother Dongshan to open a school at the foot of the mountain to teach his disciples various subjects, including physics, chemistry, and foreign languages.

At that time, many people in the sect felt that learning those dry Western knowledge was meaningless, and it would be better to learn more classic texts on spiritual practice.

In the end, it was the master who overruled everyone's objections and forced them to learn.

At the time, he didn't quite understand either.

But now, looking at it this way, Master was indeed farsighted; look how useful that has become!

"Senior brother, to simultaneously weave a Faraday cage within your body using Qi under the impact of high-voltage current, maintain a reverse-life state to resist the current's attack, and rebuild it after the reverse-life state is torn apart—this operation is too difficult! It's more than just multitasking. Is there any trick to it?"

Lu Lin looked at Li Chang'an with expectant eyes.

Li Chang'an looked at Lu Lin, pondered for a moment, and said, "The trick is actually quite simple. You just need to calm down first, then divide your energy into two streams. One stream is used to protect your internal organs, and the other stream is used to maintain the body's regeneration. Then, just make sure that these two streams don't interfere with each other."

"As for rebuilding the reverse life—"

"After the reverse life state is torn apart, you continue to maintain the original flow of Qi, do not retract it, and at the same time, circulate another stream of Qi from the back of the Gen trigram to continue to circulate Qi and build up the reverse life state."

"The two go one after the other without interfering with each other, until the former is returned to the back. If it is torn to pieces again, just repeat the above steps."

After hearing this, Lu Lin looked at him speechlessly.

Lu Jin, who was standing next to him, also twitched his lips a few times.

"Senior brother————"

Lu Lin said expressionlessly, "What's the difference between this 'trick' you're talking about and 'how to put an elephant in a refrigerator'?"

Lu Lin counted on her fingers, mimicking Li Chang'an's tone: "The first step is to open the refrigerator door."

"The second step is to put the elephant inside."

"The third step is to close the refrigerator door."

"Right?"

Seeing Lu Lin's devastated state, Lu Jin laughed and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Lin'er, that's how cultivation is. The principles are often very simple; there aren't that many tricks. Just hone your basic skills."

Lu Lin could only nod in resignation.

Lu Jin then looked at Li Chang'an: "After the Reverse Life Enhancement, how much has your personal improvement been? How far are you from reaching the second level?"

Li Chang'an said, "We're still some distance from the second level. But this improvement is significant; we'll have to go out and test it out to find out the exact amount."

"Let's go to the back mountain!"

Lu Jin wasn't in a hurry to refine his body and quickly said...

Lu Lin echoed this sentiment. In his eyes, this kind of training was nothing special, just like getting a dressing change at the proctology department—he didn't look forward to it being his turn anytime soon.

The three quickly arrived at the back of the mountain.

Li Chang'an walked to the front of his cave dwelling.

After he broke the "door" to the cave last time, he brought over a new boulder.

Because he moved it so often, he was very familiar with the weight of the boulder, making it the perfect tool for testing.

Li Chang'an wrapped his arms around the boulder, lifted it to his chest, and weighed it in his hands.

The boulder tumbled through the air, only to be caught by him with effortless ease, as if he were bouncing a giant balloon.

Lu Lin stared blankly. He could actually lift such a huge rock, but he needed to get into the right posture, focus his energy in his dantian, and coordinate his waist and stance to lift it.

In short, it's not easy, let alone for someone like Li Chang'an to play around like this.

Therefore, he mostly used pushing to enter and exit the cave and move the boulders.

"Grandpa, even though I've seen it several times, I still have to say, Senior Brother Chang'an is really strong!" Lu Lin said.

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Indeed, normally speaking, even a newcomer to the second level of Ni Sheng is not as strong as him."

After bouncing around for a while, Li Chang'an tried to remove his left hand and support himself with only his right hand. At first, his center of gravity swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance and lifted himself up a few times with one hand.

"It's definitely easier than before, and my strength has increased by a little over 20%."

In conclusion, Li Chang'an, with a thought, channeled the white energy through his arm, exerted force with his five fingers, and his fingertips, as if cutting tofu, dug into the hard granite.

With a single arm raised, a massive boulder weighing thousands of pounds flew into the air with a whooshing sound.

Li Chang'an pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air and instantly catching up with the boulder in mid-air. He twisted his waist and swept his right leg out like a battle axe.

"boom!"

The boulder was kicked in mid-air, shattering into countless fragments that rained down like a storm.

This scene made Lu Lin swallow hard: "If that kick landed on someone, it would probably hurt a lot."

Lu Jin said, "It's probably more than just a little painful. The force of that kick would turn even someone trained in Iron Shirt martial arts into a piece of metal!"

Li Chang'an landed on the ground, and he knew the extent of his increased strength. He could now test other aspects.

"Next is explosive power."

He took a deep breath, stomped his right foot on the ground, and with a loud "boom," the ground collapsed. He vanished from his spot like a cannonball.

Lu Lin felt a gust of wind brush against her cheek, making her skin sting.

In the next instant, Li Chang'an appeared fifty meters away.

After sprinting once, Li Chang'an still wasn't satisfied and began to leap.

He transformed into a white blur, weaving back and forth among the tree trunks, each turn leaving a sharp whistling sound in the air.

"What amazing control!" Lu Lin said in a low voice, "I can sprint fast too, but I won't be able to stop, let alone control such precise movements. Is this the result of your training in your core thinking?"

Lu Jin stood aside without saying a word. At full speed, not only could Lu Lin not stop the car, but even he would have a hard time stopping it.

After a series of tests, Li Chang'an stopped. The high-intensity burst of energy had taken a toll on his physical strength, and his breathing was slightly heavy.

"How is it?" Lu Jin asked as she stepped forward.

Li Chang'an calmed his breathing and said, "The improvement is comprehensive, with strength, speed, and defense all increasing by about 20%."

Upon hearing the figure of around 20%, both Lu Jin and Lu Lin gasped in shock.

Cultivation is a gradual process that requires consistent effort over time. Yet, a single high-voltage body tempering session can bring about a 20% to 20% improvement.

Lu Lin suddenly felt that the high-voltage electrical equipment, which looked like a torture device, wasn't so scary after all.

If it leads to progress, what does a little physical pain matter?

But then Li Chang'an changed the subject: "It's not without its drawbacks. You see, I'm in good condition now because I'm still maintaining the reverse life force. When I stop the reverse life force, I'll probably have a serious deficit."

"What do you mean?" Lu Jin frowned.

Li Chang'an didn't explain further; with a thought, he released the reverse life state.

His snow-white hair, starting from the tips, began to fade like ink being poured out, inch by inch losing its pure white color and quickly returning to jet black; his jade-white skin also turned rosy.

The whole process inexplicably gave me the feeling of an immortal shedding their feathered robes and descending to the mortal world.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an stumbled and took a step back.

His once lean and upright physique had visibly shrunk, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his eye sockets were deep-set.

He looked exhausted from head to toe, as if he had just been seriously ill.

"Chang'an!"

Lu Jin was startled and rushed forward to support him.

This scene reminded him of how his master dispelled his powers more than sixty years ago.

My master, who was like an immortal, suddenly collapsed and never recovered.
