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

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Chang'an, what you say makes a lot of sense. Grandfather's thinking is too narrow-minded. But if we want to focus on cultivating one's life force..."

"Although our Sanyi Sect also cultivates life force, it is only the transformation of Qi in reverse, which only has some requirements for life force."

"So we haven't delved deeply into the path of life and death, and now that we're turning to this path, we're a bit lost."

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an laughed and said, "It's normal to feel lost. What road is so easy to travel that you can see the end from the beginning?"

"But we can't stop just because the road is difficult to travel."

"Grandpa, you can't stay confused forever. On some matters, I can only offer some ideas, but the specific implementation is up to you."

"You are our backbone, you need to pull yourself together."

Li Chang'an and Lu Lin are different.

Lu Lin has a strong sense of responsibility; when pressure comes, he takes it all on himself.

Li Chang'an, however, never took the pressure personally and instead passed it on to Lu Jin.

He can contribute to the reconstruction of the Trinity Gate.

But rebuilding Sany was never his goal.

He wouldn't even think about it.

The mere thought of it is itself a delusion.

Lu Jin didn't find anything wrong with Li Chang'an's words, nor did he feel that Li Chang'an was putting pressure on him.

Rebuilding Trinity was his duty.

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Chang'an, you're right. Grandfather can't be confused. You're still young. Although you have some understanding, you still lack experience."

"Although I'm a bit slow to understand, I'm not old for nothing."

"There are naturally many mysteries within this century of cultivation."

Li Chang'an listened quietly as Lu Jin spoke profound words.

"In terms of cultivating one's physical and mental well-being, others can only offer guidance; ultimately, one must rely on oneself."

"But there are patterns to be found in the cultivation of one's destiny!"

Lu Jin raised his head and said decisively, "I want to restart my external martial arts training."

Hearing this, Li Chang'an remained completely unmoved.

He has subdued his delusions; even if Mount Tai collapses before him, he will remain calm and composed.

If Lu Lin were here and heard those words, she would probably be frowning on the spot.

Looking at the enthusiastic Lu Jin, Li Chang'an reminded him:

"Grandpa, ordinary grappling and striking techniques are no longer effective against us."

Lu Jin said, "I know that traditional methods of slapping the body are no longer very effective, but we can keep up with the times and use some high-tech methods."

Li Chang'an asked curiously, "What kind of high-tech stuff do you need?"

Lu Jin said, "I heard that Ru Hu uses a special device to release high-voltage current to stimulate muscles and cells, achieving a body-strengthening effect. By the way, you don't know Ru Hu yet, do you?"

Li Chang'an shook his head: "I'm not sure."

That's true. The story doesn't describe Ru Hu much. My impression of him is that he's one of the Ten Elders, with a big head and thick neck. He's good at physical training and is very good at fighting.

Just how powerful are they?

He could control both of the old master's hands.

That's all I remember.

Lu Jin introduced, "Na Ruhu is a rising star who has gained a lot of attention in recent years. At a young age, his strength has already surpassed many of the veterans in the industry."

"His specialty is external body training, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the best external body training expert in the country. But even so, he still uses a high-voltage electric hammer to train his physique, which must have some reason behind it."

"I'll personally visit him another day and get a set of equipment to try out."

"..."

Are you about to transform into a thunder king? Li Chang'an silently mourned for Lu Lin for a second.

Lu Jin continued, "Not only that, besides electric shock, we can also take the route of traditional Chinese medicine and stimulate the body's potential through acupuncture. We can consult the great master Wang Zizhong on this."

Lu Jin stroked his chin and came up with several brilliant ideas for "forging the body".

On the occasion of turning 100, he found a new perspective on the path to defying life, and he was in an exceptionally cheerful mood.

Li Chang'an, standing to the side, quietly suppressed a few distracting thoughts after hearing Lu Jin's idea.

While listening to his grandfather's absurd ideas, Li Chang'an glanced at the black figures around him.

Those five warriors of Shangqing have been standing around for quite some time and have not yet disappeared.

Lu Jin noticed Li Chang'an's gaze and explained:

"This is the Five Strength Warrior Talisman of the Shangqing Sect. My great-grandfather was a good friend of mine and was once a disciple of the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan. So my great-grandfather also learned some of the Shangqing Sect's techniques."

After a pause, Lu Jin recalled that he had told Li Chang'an before that the Three Ones Ancestor, Lin Zhao'en, scoffed at the art of talismans.

He went and learned what the patriarch forbade, which sounds a bit heretical.

Lu Jin still cared a lot about his image in his disciples' eyes, so he explained:

"It wasn't that the old man deliberately wanted to learn this method, but he simply had no other choice."

"This was my friend's dying wish. I have let him down, so I must not let his skills be lost."

Lu Jin didn't want to say much about Zheng Zibu's matter, so she only mentioned it briefly.

Seeing that Lu Jin was a little down, Li Chang'an said:

"Grandpa, it's just learning a skill, don't worry about it."

"After all, our ancestor had a saying!" Lu Jin said.

"So what? If our ancestor didn't eat beef, does that mean we have to stop eating beef too?"

Li Chang'an laughed and said, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha sits in the heart. Grandfather, in some things, the form is not important, as long as the intention is there."

"The patriarch looked down on the art of talismans simply because he didn't want his disciples to seek knowledge outside themselves and waste their energy on the practice of such talismanic arts."

"But honestly, sir, have you ever properly practiced talismanic arts?"

"Have you put a lot of effort into the art of talismans?"

Li Chang'an posed a series of two questions.

Lu Jin shook his head and said, "Although I studied it seriously for a while, I would never say that I put in much effort."

"That settles it!" Li Chang'an said with a smile.

"You're quite good at giving advice," Lu Jin said with a smile.

"It's mainly because the old master is easygoing," Li Chang'an said, after sizing up the all-black-clad warrior.

"Grandpa, how many of these talismans can you draw in one go?"

Lu Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "It's already good if you can draw one genuine Shangqing Five Warriors Talisman a day."

"But the old man's methods are somewhat special. He has no restrictions on how many talismans he can draw. As long as he has enough Qi in his body, he can draw as many as he wants."

Lu Jin was very fond of and approved of Li Chang'an, so he did not intend to hide the matter of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques from Li Chang'an.

"You can draw as many as you want? Wow, that's incredible! Grandpa, I take back what I said earlier. Maybe you should put more effort into the art of talismans."

Li Chang'an suggested.

To be honest, this was the first time he had personally experienced the power of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

In the storyline, many people consider the Tongtian Talisman to be the weakest of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

However, judging from the current situation, the Tongtian Talisman is actually very powerful.

However, its power can only serve as an auxiliary ability; it cannot be powerful on its own like other abilities.
