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

moment.

pat!

As Mingchen stepped into the main hall of the Sanyi Sect, Chengzhen, who was greeting guests, immediately stood up and respectfully bowed: "Master!"

Upon seeing the person finally appear, the middle-aged man who had been drinking tea nearby quickly stood up: "Sect Leader Zuo, you've finally arrived!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Li, please have a seat."

The situation was still unclear, and Ming Chen, being an imposter, dared not say much. He could only maintain the composure that Zuo Ruotong always had in mind and slowly walked in to sit down.

"Master, you can chat with Boss Li, and I'll wait outside."

"Okay, go ahead."

After Chengzhen left, Mingchen looked at Boss Li. Although he was old and bald, he had an air of nobility. Mingchen couldn't help but think, "This man's surname is Li, and he's a wealthy man. Could it be...?"

"Um, Sect Leader Zuo..."

Seeing that the man was staring at him without saying a word, Boss Li couldn't help but speak up: "I've come here today to ask you for a favor, about my youngest son."

"really……"

Upon hearing this, Ming Chen immediately understood that this Boss Li was the major financier of the San Yi Sect in the original story, and his youngest son... must be Li Muxuan.

Speaking of Li Muxuan, he was truly a "figure". Without him, Wugensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect, would not have gone to Sanyi Sect, Zuo Ruotong would not have passed away, and Sanyi Sect would not have disbanded.

He was known as a "bad boy" from a young age. He was mischievous and caused trouble on the streets all day long. Later, he had the opportunity to take the entrance test of the Trinity Sect, but he couldn't stand the loneliness. He used his cleverness to become a disciple of the Quanxing Sect. When Zuo Ruotong wanted to take him back, he threw a tantrum and eventually joined the Quanxing Sect, ruining his life.

Seeing that the man seemed to be deep in thought, as if he were listening, Boss Li continued, "Master Zuo, as you know, I have several big businesses helping me at home, so I don't need this kid, and besides, his ambitions lie elsewhere."

"Although I am just an ordinary mortal, I'm not too narrow-minded. I've gotten to know some extraordinary people in the martial arts world, but alas... he doesn't even look at them!"

"You might say this kid is arrogant, but all the friends who came spoke highly of him. I'm not just saying this to defend him, but he definitely has a knack for it!"

"As for his character, that's not for me to judge. You'll see for yourself in the future."

"But you can rest assured about one thing: his sincerity in becoming your disciple is absolutely genuine. 'Looking across the world, only your sect can be considered the only one in the Xuanmen,' these are his own words, and he even went so far as to change his name... to Li Muxuan!"

Thus, Ming Chen was completely certain. He feigned thought and then smiled, "Heh, the world is still too narrow in the eyes of a child. The Xuanmen is not limited to just Sanyi Sect... Boss Li, you are considered a major client of my Sanyi Sect. Are you planning to make an exception for us?"

He was deeply impressed by the content of the "Trinity Gate Chapter" and watched it repeatedly. After becoming an Outcast, he further enhanced his memory and could recall most of the dialogues with ease.

"No, no!"

Boss Li quickly waved his hand: "It's all up to you. Whether it succeeds or not is up to his fate."

"Alright, then we'll go to the lower house like everyone else."

The so-called "lower courtyard" is where the San Yi Sect tests its prospective disciples. Through a period of observation, they can see the candidate's potential and character, and judge whether the candidate is qualified to enter the sect.

Upon seeing that the Left Sect Leader agreed, Boss Li thanked him repeatedly. Ming Chen immediately made arrangements, instructing Cheng Zhen to have the disciples in charge of the lower courtyards take the father and son down the mountain according to the sect's rules.

After resolving this matter...

"I have some thoughts I need to verify these days, so please don't disturb me unless necessary," Mingchen instructed Chengzhen before slipping back into his room. He let out a long sigh and released the "Reverse Life" spell.

Half a day was far too short. Although he had managed to activate the "Reverse Life" technique by chance, his foundation was still weak, like a castle in the air. In order not to give himself away, he had to quickly cultivate and solidify his foundation.

"Hiss—whoosh—"

After closing the door tightly, Mingchen sat cross-legged on the bed, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. His innate supernatural ability was activated, and his eyes shone with light.

With a calm mind and introspection, everything within Zuo Ruotong's body came into view, shimmering like jade, radiant with mysterious light, and pure white Qi circulating in a fixed cycle, like dragons and snakes.

"The biggest problem now, besides the cultivation techniques, is the mismatch between our physical bodies and our spiritual strength. Master Zuo's physical body is too powerful, while my soul is relatively weak..."

After three years of traveling, Mingchen's greatest gain was his understanding of the "Way of Life and Destiny," which is also the foundation of cultivation in the world of "One Person."

"We need to achieve a balance first!"

The best way to balance life and death is to improve one's spiritual cultivation, including one's temperament, which is precisely the first level of "reversing life".

Mingchen immediately opened the book beside him, used his "Heavenly Eye" to observe it, and began to comprehend it.

The first stage of Reverse Rebirth is the foundation-building method of the Three Ones School. One must first enter the inner realm to resist all kinds of illusions in order to improve the stillness. When the stillness reaches the state of "abandoning thoughts and achieving purity", one can then use one's own senses to respond to the void, using thoughts to stop thoughts, using illusions to destroy illusions, and using delusion to transcend delusion...

Once one has proven that one's true nature is unyielding and as firm as iron, then one has achieved initial success.

This is why the number of disciples in the Sanyi School has always been small, and it is also the most dependent on talent. This is because the common internal alchemy methods are to refine essence into qi, refine qi into spirit, and refine spirit into emptiness. They proceed step by step in the order of "life", "qi", and "nature", making it relatively easy to get started.

However, the "Reverse Rebirth Triple" goes against the grain, placing the most difficult "emptiness" at the very beginning, with the cultivation sequence of refining emptiness into spirit, refining spirit into qi, and refining qi into essence. Although the purpose is to experience the feeling of "returning to the innate state" at the beginning of cultivation, it also greatly increases the difficulty.

Fortunately, Mingchen had spent the past three years studying various arts, including divination and witchcraft. Through dedicated practice, his level of meditation had already reached the required standard, allowing him to directly advance to the Void Refinement stage...

He closed his eyes.

Immerse your mind in the inner vision.

wow——

In an instant, countless colors floated before his eyes, coalescing into numerous illusions, yet he remained calm, without sorrow or joy, and sat cross-legged in the inner realm, smoothing away all distracting thoughts...

The illusion vanished.

Next.

It was an endless darkness.

Profound, empty, devoid of anything—this is the boundary between the inner landscape and reality, also known as "emptiness." Its essence is like the curve that divides the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi; it is neither Yin nor Yang, but pure "nothingness."

Compared to the chaotic illusions within the inner realm, this void seems safer, but it is not. When a person is in such an environment for a long time, despair will arise, and the distracting thoughts that have been eliminated will gradually return, or even intensify...

Until it consumes itself.

But in that instant when distracting thoughts arose, Mingchen's mind stirred, and he accelerated the circulation of Qi, with wisps of white Qi rising up to protect his mind.

This is the Qi of the "Second Stage of Reversal of Life," which has already gone through the process of refining emptiness into spirit and refining spirit into Qi.

Like an old horse, guided by its familiar experience, it brought him back to calm, allowing him to hone and sense without any worries. At the same time, a crack appeared on his forehead, and a vertical eye opened...

The third eye opens, dispelling confusion...

The soul is at peace!
