Under One Person: Did Zuo Ruotong and I switch bodies?

"Oh?"

Sensing the sudden emergence of that profound Daoist aura, Zhang Jingqing's eyes narrowed slightly: "Is this the Left Sect Master's 'miracle encounter'?"

Seeing its overwhelming momentum, seemingly poised to rival the heavenly thunder, he didn't wait any longer. The instant the thunder finished brewing, he raised his hand and pointed...

boom--

Lightning Meteor Falls!

Under his precise control, although the power of this heavenly lightning was strong, its range was limited to the area where the opponent stood. Precisely because of this, its power was even more concentrated, like a sword falling from the sky...

"Is this Master's thunder magic?" The crowd was shocked.

What's even more astonishing is that, faced with this overwhelming divine might, Zuo Ruotong didn't flinch at all. Instead, he simply extended two fingers, using them as a sword, and touched the tip of the Thunder Sword with one finger...

wow——

In an instant, white energy surged and lightning shot out, heading towards the disciples. The two of them then acted simultaneously to contain the aftershocks.

Then look at the lightning...

Zuo Ruotong's fingertips kept breaking and repairing themselves rapidly, while the lightning kept shattering and being absorbed by her fingertips, merging into her body!

The so-called "Heavenly Might" is the natural might condensed from primordial Qi and generated in accordance with the operation of heaven and earth. Its essence is still primordial Qi, which is undoubtedly an excellent "tonic" for the Nascent Soul stage...

Therefore, as long as we can hold out for a moment...

It can absorb it on its own!

At the end of technique, the source of Qi flows.

Although Zuo Ruotong didn't know these eight characters, she understood the meaning of "root" and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, "Truly worthy of being called the innate method!"

He was certain in his heart.

In fact, he was also gambling, gambling on whether his idea was correct. After all, although he had made some deductions before, they were only theoretical. Now, with the help of the Celestial Master, he was able to verify them!

Sizzle sizzle...whoosh!

As the last wisp of lightning shattered and was absorbed by her fingertips, Zuo Ruotong withdrew her hand and bowed to Zhang Jingqing: "Celestial Master, you flatter me!"

"this……"

Zhang Jingqing was taken aback, and it took her a moment to react: "Master Zuo, is this what you comprehended through that opportunity?"

"It's truly amazing... I've lost!"

"Master has been defeated!"

  

Upon seeing this result, the disciples couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In the past, the Left Sect Leader and their master were evenly matched, but now a winner had been decided. Doesn't this mean...?

"Master Zuo, from this day forward, you are the 'Peerless Master Under Heaven'!"

Zhang Jingqing never cared about the title of "Supreme Master". What he valued most was the gains he had made this time. Recalling that finger strike and experiencing its profound meaning, he smiled.

"where……"

Zuo Ruotong immediately waved his hand: "There are always people better than you, and there is always a higher level to reach. Who in this vast world dares to claim to be the 'supreme'? You flatter me, Celestial Master."

After speaking, he glanced at Lin Huaiyi out of the corner of his eye and then withdrew his Qi.

Then.

The two returned to the main hall and continued drinking tea, leaving the disciples standing there dumbfounded, not understanding what had happened.

Only Zhang Zhiwei and Lin Huaiyi remained motionless, staring intently at the spot where Zuo Ruotong had just been, their gazes fixed on her, as if they had gained some insight...

Yet it's hard to explain...

Unpredictable.

moment.

In the main hall.

"Master Zuo, if I am not mistaken, the technique you just used has reached the 'Innate' level. It may be the number one 'Innate Technique' in the world. I wonder if you have given it a name?" Zhang Jingqing asked excitedly, his eyes burning.

"Well..."

Zuo Ruotong was somewhat troubled, after all, this was not a method he had created, and it would be inappropriate to claim it as his own. He pondered for a moment: "To be honest, Celestial Master, this was not actually created by me, but rather obtained by chance, perhaps it is the achievement of some predecessor..."

"Its name is... 'Tao Yuan'."

Returning to one's original nature and tracing back to the source through the Tao—this was his realization of the "fundamental method" of cultivation, and he simply named it after it.

The reason it's not called "Ben Gen" is because, according to the course of time, Zhang Huaiyi will comprehend this method in the future, and since I myself have already received the transmission, how can I claim its name?

"Daoyuan, hmm..."

Zhang Jingqing pondered for a moment, then said, "Not bad, this name is truly excellent. Congratulations to Sect Leader Zuo on obtaining the sect's innate technique; the Three Ones will surely flourish even more!"

"I accept the auspicious words of the Heavenly Master."

"If Master Zuo has no urgent business, why don't you stay at the Celestial Master's Mansion a little longer so we can have another chat?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Zuo Ruotong smiled and nodded gently.

After all, his main purpose in coming here was to see Zhang Huaiyi. A single glance was not enough; there had to be some interaction, and if there was an opportunity…

Some guidance can also be given.

"Haha! That's good, I'll have someone prepare guest rooms right away!" Zhang Jingqing was delighted and immediately summoned her disciples to make the arrangements.

The two then drank tea.

They talked about the world.

"Master Zuo, do you know that things are getting more and more chaotic down the mountain? Let's not even talk about the warlords, and we don't get involved in the squabbles of ordinary people. The key issue is that people are filled with fear and anxiety, and the number of worshippers on my mountain has decreased significantly..."

As he spoke, he held up a small newspaper from Jianghu Xiaozhan: "Look, in just this past month, countless workers across the country have gone on strike, all for a little more pay. These chaotic times have arrived; life is hard for ordinary people!"

"Sigh, yeah..."

Zuo Ruotong also paid close attention to the situation in the world, after all, even cultivators are still living in the world: "Those big places are fine, there are always people in charge, but in the other small places, it's good enough if you can have enough to eat."

"Moreover, in times of chaos, bandits and thieves emerge like locusts in a passing land. They burn, kill, and plunder wherever they go. People from the foot of my mountain often flee up here to seek refuge, but most of them are just petty bandits who will shoot and move on. By the time I send my disciples there, they have long since disappeared."

"Yes, that's right..."

Zhang Jingqing nodded in agreement. This was also the problem that troubled him the most. The Taoist sect had the responsibility of slaying demons and protecting the local area. Whenever someone came to their door, the Celestial Master's Mansion would definitely send someone down the mountain, but they often came up empty-handed.

"Speaking of bandits, there has been a notorious gang of bandits in my Jiangxi region for the past few years. Their leader is surnamed Wu, and they are extremely powerful and adept at hiding. Moreover, they seem to have the help of a sorcerer, making them very difficult to capture... I wonder if Master Zuo has encountered them on this trip?"

No, not at all.

Zuo Ruotong came in a hurry, speeding all the way without taking the official road, and didn't even encounter many people: "I can keep an eye out on my way back, and if I run into anyone, I'll just eliminate them."

"Haha! Thank you in advance, Master Zuo!"

The two chatted like this until evening, and after dinner, they talked about cultivation for a while before finally ending their conversation.

"Left Sect Leader, please rest early. If you need anything, just tell the disciples on night duty."

"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Celestial Master."

After bidding farewell to the Celestial Master, Zuo Ruotong did not rush back to her room, but wandered around the Celestial Master's Mansion. Passing by the disciples' dormitory, she suddenly sensed something...

He walked into the woods behind the mountain.

Before long, a figure appeared by the stream ahead, radiating golden light, and began to unleash his fists and feet on a thick tree trunk...

Take a closer look.

It was Lin Huaiyi.

"What a coincidence!"
