"Even after a thousand miles of travel, we must part ways. Old Lu, we're going now."

The old master patted Lu Jin on the shoulder, took Zhang Lingyu, and rode in the Lu family's private car to the airport. Then, using his forged ID card, he flew back to Jiangxi.

Watching the car drive away, Lu Jin chuckled and cursed.

Every time I see that old guy, he manages to swindle me out of something.

Not long after the old master left, an extremely luxurious extended Lincoln limousine slowly pulled up in front of the Lu family's gate.

Wang Ai and Lü Ci, along with their younger relatives, slowly walked out. "Brother Lu, all good things must come to an end, and we should take our leave now," Wang Ai said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, are you in such a hurry to leave? Why not stay a couple more days so I can extend my hospitality?"

Distinguishing between close and distant relationships, Lu Jin spoke only polite words in front of Wang Ai and Lü Ci.

"No, no, there are still a lot of things to deal with in the clan," Wang Ai said with a smile.

"Then I wish you both a safe journey." Lu Jin clasped his hands in a fist and bow.

While the older generation was speaking, Wang Bing and Lü Liang were also saying goodbye to Li Chang'an and Lu Lin.

Lu Liang usually had many mischievous ideas and liked to play pranks, but when he was with his grandfather, he dared not be presumptuous at all and spoke very properly.

Wang Bing was much more relaxed. In the past, he would have kept urging his grandfather to hurry up in this situation, but he didn't this time.

He confessed his feelings to Li Chang'an very politely, and even said that he would bring Li Chang'an some fun things from the entertainment circle when they met again.

Seeing this, Wang Ai laughed and said, "Brother Lu, Lao Lü, look at these little guys, aren't they interesting? I was worried that the next generation would become estranged, but it seems that the descendants of our four families can still get along well."

"They're young, so they're more naive!" Lu Jin said.

Wang Ai said calmly, "Brother Lu, I think that our four families of this generation need someone that everyone respects, so that we can keep people together. Otherwise, the younger generation will all go their own way and become estranged. In our generation, the leader was Brother Ren, and everyone respected him."

Lu Ci glanced at Wang Ai but didn't say anything. His elder brother was indeed someone that all four families respected in that generation, and he had not let everyone down. In the Battle of Mianshan, his elder brother led the charge and fought until his death.

Wang Ai continued, "Although Li Chang'an doesn't share the surname Lu, he's your disciple, so he's practically a member of the Lu family. Not only is he incredibly strong, I've noticed, but even my spoiled grandson respects him. That shows he's very influential. Why don't we have the younger generation interact with him more often?"

"Alright, I'd be happy to see the younger generation interact more during their free time."

Lu Jin sighed, "My disciple is good in every way, but he is too diligent in his cultivation. There are very few people in my Lu family who can get along well with him. If he could have more friends, that would be wonderful."

As for any leader or anything like that, Lu Jin didn't mention it at all, pretending not to hear it.

Hearing Lu Jin's Versailles-like words, Lü Ci couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Wang Ai, with the same expression, exchanged a few polite words, got into the car, and left.

In the car, Lü Ci said, "Old Wang, were you serious about what you said just now?"

Wang Ai said, "There is indeed some such plan. If the Lu family becomes powerful, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us. Moreover, Li Chang'an is worth winning over."

Lu Ci nodded: "That's true. He's Lu Jin's apprentice and has connections with the Lu family, which makes people feel at ease, especially in recent years, when the power dynamics in the industry have changed dramatically."

"The Feng family's Tianxia Hui, the Qiuzhen Hui which was formed by the fusion of the former Yiqiliu, Huangmen Sancai, Ziranmen, and Yanwutang, and the tiger-like Xiguge are all frantically squeezing our living space."

"Currently, there are four families in our generation, and three of them are from the 10th generation, so we can still maintain the situation. But it's hard to say what will happen later; we need to make some arrangements."

Wang Ai nodded and said, "Old Lu used this disciple-acceptance banquet to announce the return of the Sanyi Sect. The next step should be to rebuild the Sanyi Sect. This is a huge undertaking, and it won't be easy to expand it."

"Although he is the head of the Trinity Sect, he is also the head of the Lu family and has to consider the interests of the Lu family. He cannot devote too many resources to the reconstruction of the Trinity Sect."

"I was thinking that we could lend a hand and help make arrangements. At the same time, we could also try to win over Li Chang'an and bring him to our side as much as possible. Consider it an investment; we might be able to use him in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci nodded and said, "Investing in other things is easy to lose money, but investing in the Lu family's business will definitely bring returns. It's a deal that won't lose money."

After seeing off all the guests, Lu Jin, along with Li Chang'an and Lu Lin, went to meet another guest, the Tenth Elder, Naruhu.

Originally, Ru Hu was about to leave after participating in the ceremony.

But Lu Jin had something to discuss, so Ru Hu stayed behind.

Inside the Lu family's reception room.

Lu Jin was discussing with Ru Hu about purchasing high-voltage electric cross-training equipment.

"Could it be that the Lu family also has a junior who specializes in external martial arts techniques?" Na Ruhu asked with some curiosity.

He knew that the Lu family did not pass on their skills, so members of the Lu family would go around seeking out masters to learn from.

But as far as he knew, he had not heard of any member of the Lu family pursuing the path of external martial arts in recent years.

Lu Jin didn't hide anything from him and said directly, "To be honest, I was planning to give this equipment to Chang'an and Lin'er. Although these two boys have entered the realm of reverse life, I always feel that their life force foundation is still a bit weak. I want to borrow your high-voltage electric body tempering method to strengthen them."

Li Chang'an already knew about this, and didn't react much after hearing it.

Lu Lin, standing nearby, was anything but calm.

High-voltage electric refining body?

Just hearing the name doesn't sound good.

Is this something a decent person would do?

Hitting your ribs with an iron ruler is painful enough, why would you need electricity?

Is it high-voltage electricity?!

Speaking of high-voltage electricity, can it be used for body tempering?

Its power is probably no weaker than thunder magic!

Lu Lin is just introverted and not good at expressing herself; she is not mentally challenged.

He found this method of cultivation difficult to accept and quickly looked at Li Chang'an beside him, hoping that his senior brother could dissuade him.

But Li Chang'an just sat quietly in his chair, looking down at his nose and mind, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

Senior brother, aren't you going to say something? This is a life-or-death deal! Lu Lin screamed inwardly.

When Ru Hu heard that Li Chang'an and Lu Lin wanted to use it, he was also somewhat surprised.

In his eyes, Li Chang'an looked like an immortal.

Lu Lin was also a refined and handsome young man with fair skin.

The fact that someone like this would think of using high-voltage electricity to train one's body gave Ru Hu a strange sense of incongruity.

Moreover, although the triple rebirth technique provides a boost comparable to physical training, it is not essentially physical training. Would it be a mistake to use physical training methods to practice it?

"Old Lu, this is no joke. The high-voltage equipment I'm using, while not as powerful as lightning in nature, is still quite potent. The arc temperature ranges from at least three thousand degrees to as high as twenty thousand degrees. If it's not controlled properly, it could lead to a major disaster."

Upon hearing the temperature, Lu Lin's eyes widened immediately.

Three thousand to twenty thousand, even electrofishing isn't that intense.

When he was practicing cultivation, his great-grandfather always told him to be careful and not to be careless. He also said that practicing cultivation against the natural order was like walking on the edge of a knife.

During his previous training, he had not felt the kind of risk that his great-grandfather had mentioned, the kind of risk that was walking on the edge of a knife.

But now, he truly feels it.

Fortunately, the senior was very understanding and decisively refused the request—Lu Lin breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, a strong interest flashed in Li Chang'an's eyes, who had been calm.

Originally, Li Chang'an wasn't particularly interested in this so-called high-voltage electric body tempering technique; he neither looked forward to it nor feared it like Lu Lin did.

He has now subdued most of his delusions and his mind is as still as water. Even if the electric shocks bring some pain, he can endure it.

But suddenly, Li Chang'an came up with a new idea about cultivating against the natural order.
