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

After a round of mutual flattery, the tiger-like gaze naturally fell on Li Chang'an.

In fact, from the moment Li Chang'an appeared, Na Ruhu had already noticed him.

Even while exchanging pleasantries with Lu Jin, he was secretly observing Li Chang'an out of the corner of his eye.

There was no way around it; Li Chang'an's appearance was simply too stunning.

The last time he was amazed was by Zhang Lingyu, the disciple of the Celestial Master.

However, compared to the person before him, Zhang Lingyu's aloofness still lacked a certain ethereal, otherworldly quality.

However, as one of the Ten Elders, his sharp eye was still quite keen.

He could tell at a glance that Li Chang'an was not in an ordinary state, but rather looked more like Lu Jin after he activated his rebirth.

Why does this kid always maintain a reverse-life state when receiving guests?

He was somewhat puzzled, but didn't ask, and smiled:

"This must be Elder Lu's outstanding disciple. He is indeed remarkable. I have met many talented young people over the years, but those with this kind of demeanor are few and far between."

Li Chang'an clasped his hands and said, "You're too kind, senior."

"Senior, it's been a long time." Lu Lin also clasped her hands in greeting.

Ru Hu looked Lu Lin up and down and laughed:

"It must be Lu Lin! It's been a while since I last saw you. You've grown taller and more energetic. Back in the day, when I visited the Lu family with my master, I even held you in my arms."

"Senior, I also remember Teacher Chai. Did Teacher Chai not come this time?" Lu Lin asked.

"Master should be coming, but he's not coming with me," Na Ruhu said with a smile.

After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Jin led the guests to the Lu family compound and seated them. Tea was served, and they chatted while drinking.

During the conversation, someone came to report that the head of the Gao family had arrived.

"Is this Gao Lian, the head of the company's Northeast region?" Na Ruhu laughed.

"Xiao Na, do you know Xiao Gao?" Lu Jin asked.

"I've had dealings with her before. I occasionally interact with my great-aunt, and I've also met this person a few times."

Na Ruhu tactfully stood up: "Mr. Lu, since we have distinguished guests, you should go and get back to your work."

Excuse me.

Lu Jin got up to greet the head of the Gao family.

Li Chang'an and Lu Lin followed closely behind.

As soon as they reached the gate of the compound, they saw a tall man with a buzz cut, round-framed glasses, and a thick beard standing in front of them. He was talking to Lu Linglong's father.

Upon seeing Lu Jin, he quickly clasped his hands in a respectful greeting:

"Mr. Lu! Long time no see! You're still as healthy as ever!"

"Xiao Lian, you must have had a long journey. You came all the way from the Northeast. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"It's about Master Lu, so I had to come no matter how far away it was," Gao Lian said with a smile. "Before I came, my aunt specifically told me to give Master Lu my regards, because she has difficulty walking, otherwise she would have come in person."

"I understand, I understand!" Lu Jin nodded with a smile.

The "aunt" mentioned by Ru Hu and the "aunt" mentioned by Gao Lian are the same person: Guan Shihua, a sorceress from Northeast China.

Because of her past affair with Wang Ai, and the reason for the summoning of spirits and generals, Guan Shihua had not entered the pass for a long time.

Lu Jin is hosting a banquet this time, and the Wang family, being one of the four families, is a must-attend. Naturally, she wouldn't come here to make a fool of herself.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gao Lian's gaze naturally fell on Li Chang'an:

"Master Lu, this must be your outstanding student. He is indeed a man of exceptional talent and bearing. Just standing there, he outshines all the other young people in the courtyard."

Li Chang'an nodded to Gao Lian and said, "You flatter me, senior."

Lu Lin also called out "Uncle Gao".

Gao Lian's arrival caused a small stir in the Lu family.

Many of the strange people in the courtyard came over to say hello.

After all, besides being the head of the Gao family, one of the four major families, he was also the head of the Northeast region of Na Du Tong, representing the official face, so naturally he had to be taken seriously.

"Mr. Gao, you've come in person too!"

"Master Gao, you must be tired from your journey!"

"I was very grateful for Mr. Gao's help when I was in Northeast China last time, but I never had the chance to thank him in person."

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry about me, I'm just here to join in the fun."

Gao Lian returned the greeting with a clasped fist and a polite smile.

Just then.

A commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the courtyard.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Wang Ai and Lü Ci, who were also members of the Ten Elders.

The two arrived in the same car.

Lu Ci got out of the car first. He was lean and had silver hair. There was a scar on his face that ran diagonally down from his forehead. He had a fierce look like a lone wolf. He was accompanied by a short boy wearing glasses.

Wang Ai also got out of the car. His white beard and hair were neatly combed, and he looked wealthy and elegant. Beside him was a young man with an arrogant face.

The boy would glance at Lü Ci every now and then, then deliberately puff out his chest, trying to imitate Lü Ci's expression and mannerisms.

Upon seeing the two, Lu Jin went to greet them.

Although Lu Jin, Wang Ai, and Lü Ci had some disagreements on certain matters, their families were old friends and they had grown up together, so their relationship wasn't actually bad.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Ai and Lü Ci's gazes fell on Li Chang'an.

Lu Jin's disciples, including Lu Lin, all knew about him and had even met him more than once.

They had heard of Li Chang'an over the past few years, but had never met him.

They hadn't taken it seriously before, after all, he had been learning from Lu Jin for several years and still hadn't mastered the art of reversing life. They thought this kid was inferior to Lu Lin and not worth worrying about.

But looking at it now, putting everything else aside, its appearance alone is quite remarkable.

Lü Ci and Wang Ai exchanged a glance.

Two friends who have been friends for a century understood each other's thoughts at a single glance.

"It's similar!" Lü Ci said.

"It's so similar!" Wang Ai nodded.

"Like what?" Lu Jin asked.

Wang Ai looked at Li Chang'an and said with a smile:

"Old Lu, the disciple you've found truly possesses the unparalleled demeanor of the legendary Immortal Da Ying. It seems that your San Yi Sect is about to produce another immortal."

He didn't mention the Lu family, but rather the Sanyi Sect. If someone were a deep thinker, they would surely be able to figure out the meaning behind his words.

But Lu Jin didn't care, because he took Li Chang'an as his disciple for the sake of the Sanyi Sect.

Lu Ci looked at Li Chang'an, who had just thought the same thing as Wang Ai.

They had all witnessed the magnificence of the Great Ying Immortal.

Lu Jin's disciple does indeed resemble him somewhat.

Is this old man following the master's template when accepting disciples?

Lu Jin laughed and said, "This kid is far from being worthy of the title of immortal."

"Whether he can shoulder the responsibility or not depends on his abilities. At this banquet, you have to let him show off his skills and broaden our horizons!"

Lü Ci looked at Li Chang'an: "Kid, are you feeling any pressure?"

"What kind of pressure?" Li Chang'an asked in return.

"If your master doesn't perform well after putting on such a grand show, it would be quite embarrassing," Lü Ci said.

"Then I'll try my best."

"You're very confident. Speaking of which, Lu Jin is just as confident as you, which is why there are quite a few skilled people among the people who came this time."

As he spoke, Lü Ci glanced at Lu Jin with a half-smile.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu Jin was very sensitive to this and immediately asked back.

Lü Ci laughed heartily: "When people get old, they just love to reminisce. I suddenly remembered some interesting things from the past."

"Thinking about it is not allowed, and even thinking about it is problematic." Lu Jin frowned and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
