At this moment, Huang Yu looked at Zuo Ruotong's confident and bold figure and couldn't help but show a hint of amazement.

Is this the demeanor of Zuo Ruotong, the Great Immortal of Daying today? Not the frail old man he would become more than twenty years later, his spirit and energy exhausted by old injuries and the struggle to maintain his reversal of life!

Zuo Ruotong still has the ambition to go further.

Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly: "Master, if the time truly comes to explore the entire path ahead, I will definitely travel with you."

"For no other reason than to see the view at the end of the world."

Zuo Ruotong laughed loudly, "Good! After all these years, you are the first disciple to say that you want to explore the Path to Heaven with your master."

"Let's go. From now on, you don't need to live in the lower courtyard anymore. You can live with us in the upper courtyard."

After saying that, Zuo Ruotong waved and led Huang Yu up the mountain.

The two walked up the mountain steps, and as the setting sun shone down, a beautiful red glow appeared on the horizon.

Zuo Ruotong suddenly remembered something and said, "Da Niu, your name is the nickname your parents gave you, right? Why don't I give you a formal Taoist name as your proper name?"

"Our Sanyi Sect also has many disciples who come from poor backgrounds like you, such as your senior brother Chengzhen, senior brother Changqing, and senior brother Shuiyun. I named them all."

Huang Yu asked curiously, "What name does Master want to give me?"

Zuo Ruotong looked at the red glow on the horizon and said, "You have a great ambition to cleanse the world. You should be like the red glow, driving away all the demons and monsters in the world. Why don't you call yourself Red Glow?"

"Crimson Clouds..." Huang Yu murmured, unable to help but think of the righteous and fierce ghost-catching master in the storybook.

"Alright! I really like the Taoist name Chixia; from now on, that will be my Taoist name!"

Seeing that Huang Yu liked the Taoist name, Zuo Ruotong smiled.

Climbing step by step, the two finally arrived at the mountain gate of Sanyi Gate as the sun set.

Pushing open the mountain gate, one finds a spacious square where disciples are practicing their skills in twos and threes.

Inside the gate, the buildings are adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding a solemn and dignified atmosphere, showcasing the profound heritage of the Xuanmen sect.

"Master! Brother Da Niu!"

A cute little boy ran over excitedly; it was Lu Jin.

"Brother Da Niu, you're here too! That's great, now we'll have company!"

Huang Yu laughed and said, "My master just gave me the Taoist name Chixia, so you'll have to call me Chixia from now on."

Lu Jin immediately exclaimed, "Master, I want a Daoist name too! Give me one!"

Zuo Ruotong shook her head and smiled, "You don't need to."

"By the way, your father should be able to come to Trinity tomorrow to discuss the final details of his entry into the family."

"Lu Jin, Chi Xia, you two, wait for me in the main hall tomorrow. I will take you to meet some elders in the sect and explain some things to you."

……

The next day, in the council hall of Trinity Gate.

Huang Yu and Lu Jin walked into the lobby together, where Zuo Ruotong and a short-haired man in a long robe were already standing.

"Jin'er".

"father."

Huang Yu looked up and saw that Lu Jin's father should now be the head of the Lu family.

The head of the Lu family resembled a schoolteacher from the Republican era—gentle, refined, and exuding an aura of righteousness.

"Come with me, everyone. Let me introduce you to some of the elders in the sect."

With that, Zuo Ruotong took the lead and led the group out of the hall.

Lu Jin and the Lu family head were a little puzzled, but Huang Yu understood that this was a common practice of the San Yi Sect.

Zuo Ruotong would take each new disciple to meet the seniors in the sect who had encountered problems with their cultivation of the Reverse Life Technique, so they could understand the dangers of the three levels of Reverse Life Technique.

When it comes to accepting apprentices, Zuo Ruotong is very open-minded. She only accepts suitable people into her fold and informs them of all the risks. She also recommends better places for unsuitable people.

Soon, the four arrived at a side hall, where several gaunt-faced elders of the Sanyi Sect were slumped in chairs, and a disciple was taking care of them.

Both the Lu family head and Lu Jin's faces darkened upon seeing this scene.

Huang Yu narrowed his eyes immediately. The danger of this reversal of life was far beyond his imagination. However, he was not too worried about the risks involved.

He possesses the professional talent of "Nine Breaths of Breath Absorption" for the "Qi Refiner" class, which allows him to passively or actively absorb energy from heaven and earth. The absorbed energy can be transformed into true qi, and can also be used for healing and overall recovery.

Huang Yu tried it, and this comprehensive state recovery is simply a bug. Whether it's internal injuries, poison injuries, diseases, or spell backlash, everything is within the recovery effect of Nine Breaths Breathing.

It seems that only physical injuries such as amputation or kidney removal are not covered by the recovery effects of the Nine Breaths Breathing Method.

The injury caused by the Reverse Life technique is an internal injury. Even if something goes wrong when practicing the Reverse Life technique, Huang Yu can recover from the injury by using the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption technique.

Besides, his professional skills panel isn't just for show.

Now, Huang Yu is thinking more about whether he can treat these people who have gone astray due to unnatural birth.

"Does the 'Tengshan Pharmacopoeia' record any secret medicine that can treat injuries caused by reversed growth?"

Immediately, Huang Yu secretly rejected this idea. The Sanyi Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years and must have thought of countless ways to repair the injury caused by the reverse growth. Medical sects like Tengshan and Jishetang must have searched countless times.

They probably really have no way to heal the injuries caused by reversal of growth.

The only way Huang Yu could think of to ensure that the injury could be cured was the Dual-Handed Technique, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills!

Of course, the Eight Extraordinary Skills have not yet been revealed, and it is unknown whether they will be revealed in the future.

However, Huang Yu was not in a hurry. He had the profession of [Pharmacist], and he could switch to professions such as [Physician] in the future. Perhaps he could find a way to treat the injury caused by the reverse growth.

After meeting the seniors, Zuo Ruotong led the group back to the main hall.

"Lu Jin, Chi Xia, you are to formally become my disciples. There is something that you and the Lu family head must know."

"The three levels of reverse life are not like the Dan Shi of the Tang Sect, which requires sacrificing one's life to cultivate, nor is the Longhu Mountain Thunder Technique lineage, which requires a novice to begin with."

"But breaking through the barrier is also extremely dangerous."

"If you are not careful, at best you will ruin your entire cultivation path, and at worst you will not even be able to act like an ordinary person."

"The seniors you met before, even if they could no longer follow the path of cultivation, still stayed on the mountain to witness other disciples achieve rebirth. As for the others who went wrong in their breakthroughs, countless people have gone down the mountain to live."

After a moment of silence, Zuo Ruotong continued, "To be honest, I also encountered some problems when I was trying to break through to the second level in middle age. Now, I have no way out but to reverse my fate."

"So if I decide that he is not suited to the path of rebirth, then no matter how sincere he is, I will not accept him."

"For those of you who are eligible to enter the field, you and your parents need to know these things before I can formally accept you as my apprentices."

The next moment, Zuo Ruotong looked at Huang Yu and said softly, "Chixia, you have to decide your own affairs. Think it over carefully."

Huang Yu nodded to indicate that he understood: "Master, I am willing to take the risks! The path of cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven, and it is fraught with danger. There is no easy way out."

In the end, Lu Jin, like Huang Yu, chose to embark on this perilous path of defying fate.
