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

Seeing that the Left Gatekeeper had accepted them, Liu Deshui and Lu Jin exchanged a glance, both showing joy. They quickly bowed and went back to their room to pack their things.

Before long, the three teenagers followed the others up the mountain and officially entered the mountain gate. Under Shuiyun's guidance, they wandered around and familiarized themselves with the environment inside the gate.

After arranging everything, Mingchen returned to his room. According to the sect's custom, new disciples would first be taught the basics by their senior brother Chengzhen, and then be personally instructed by the sect leader after they had mastered the basics of cultivation.

Historically, this process has taken at least six months—not a long time, but not short either—but if not handled carefully…

That would be another big problem!

On the path of reversing life, Mingchen is only at the beginning, having only been cultivating for three years. His understanding of reversing life and his experience in cultivation are far from sufficient to teach others.

If he didn't work harder to improve, he would be exposed sooner or later, a chill ran down his spine.

Thinking this, he dared not delay. He sat down cross-legged and placed the Reverse Life Classic in front of him. His eyes suddenly lit up as he carefully deciphered the words and tried to understand its profound principles...

Time is tight.

He then immersed himself in spiritual practice again.

……

……

"call--"

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, and Zuo Ruotong exhaled a breath of stale air and opened her eyes.

After using the power of spiritual energy to cleanse the body over the past half month, many impurities have been removed, and the chaotic Qi channels caused by learning various arts have been cleared. The body is now clear and unobstructed, allowing it to enter the reverse life cultivation.

The early morning is the best time to plan for the day, and the morning practice is equally important for spiritual cultivation. Zuo Ruotong then stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.

  

Standing in the courtyard, he closed his eyes, his body moving with the breeze and blending with the flowing clouds. His movements were graceful and unpredictable, free and unrestrained.

If a master were here, they would surely see that this young man, barely in his twenties, had effortlessly entered a state of harmony with nature. His movements, though seemingly without any rules, were in perfect harmony with the natural world.

Gradually, as he bent and stretched his arms and moved his feet, air currents began to swirl around him, drawing in the falling leaves and grasses, which swirled, fluttered, and danced with his movements.

that's it.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Zuo Ruotong stopped what she was doing when her clothes were soaked with sweat. She turned around, went back into the house, took a shower, changed into dry clothes, and washed her dirty clothes.

During his two-week exploration, he not only figured out how to use all the modern items around him, but also roughly understood the differences between this era and the past. He even gained a fairly good understanding of the situation in the village...

He is now almost certain that his presence here has nothing to do with that three-generation family.

According to the villagers, the family moved into the village two or three years ago. They were low-key, honest, and kind, and had never done anything out of line.

The owner of this body moved here a year ago and had no connection with that family. In the past year, he has often been away from home, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

From this perspective.

It was not controlled by anyone.

It should be free.

As for the matter of soul travel and crossing time and space, if it was really the old man's doing, he should have taken action long ago. However, half a month has passed, and he has never approached this place. On the contrary, Zuo Ruotong often sneaks over to observe them in secret.

The more he observed, the more curious he became. He wondered who this old man was. The villagers said their surname was Zhang, which was indeed the surname of the Celestial Masters lineage of Longhu Mountain. But the old man's name was Zhang Xilin, which he had never heard of before.

Moreover, through half a month of observation, and with the help of this body's innate abilities, Zuo Ruotong had already realized that the old man's cultivation level was far beyond that of an ordinary high-ranking Taoist master; among the people he knew, there was only one person who could compare to him...

It was Zhang Jingqing, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain!

With such cultivation, his talent must be extraordinary. Judging from his age, he should have already entered the Celestial Master's Mansion in 1921. However, I have a close relationship with Longhu Mountain and often visit him. How come I have never seen such a person before?

"Or perhaps he was hidden away by the Celestial Master and secretly trained..."

"Or perhaps he hid it himself..."

Judging from the fact that it was hidden in this village.

Perhaps it is the latter.

Regardless, the situation is still unclear, and Zuo Ruotong has no intention of provoking anyone. He just wants to cultivate this body to the first level as soon as possible so that he can have the strength to go out and see what's going on.

As time passed, he became increasingly curious about what had become of the Trinity Sect after all these years, and how his original body had changed after his sudden soul transmigrated here...

What happened next?

With this in mind, Zuo Ruotong temporarily put the Zhang Xilin family's affairs aside, made breakfast with the ingredients she had stocked in the house, ate a simple meal, and then resumed her cultivation.

The good news is that, since he transmigrated here, his spiritual cultivation is still intact, so he can skip the process of refining the void into the spirit and directly use the powerful spiritual energy as the foundation to refine the spirit into qi.

"Hiss—whoosh—"

Zuo Ruotong sat cross-legged on the couch, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, immersing his mind in his inner vision, reaching the realm of nothingness.

A thought crossed my mind.

Strands of primordial energy emerged, surging forth from nothingness.

The so-called Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two... This void that separates Yin and Yang is close to the root of Tao, that is, the origin of the primordial Qi.

By refining one's spiritual essence to draw out primordial Qi, and incorporating it into the body to condense one's own Qi, one can gradually imbue one's own Qi with the characteristics of primordial Qi, enhancing its inherent vitality...

Then one can generate the Qi of reversing life!

For Zuo Ruotong, the process of refining Qi was naturally easy and simple, thanks to the blessing of her spiritual spirit. In just a moment, wisps of white Qi emerged from her Qi channels, circulated through the meridians of the body, and took root in her middle Dantian.

This cycle repeats itself, and the white qi in this qi palace gradually grows stronger. In addition, this body has excellent natural talent and physique, so although the cultivation time is not long, the amount of qi is quite sufficient.

In just half a month, this white energy had formed a continuous cycle...

The first cycle of the universe has been completed!

The first stage of rebirth against the odds.

It is divided into three stages.

One method is to use the back of the mountain as a means of refining the spirit. This involves using water to extinguish the fire in one's heart, cultivating stillness to nourish one's mind and nature, and cultivating one's will to be as firm and unmoving as a mountain. Only then can one successfully refine the void.

The second method, the Zhou Tian, ​​is a method of refining Qi. It involves viewing oneself as a small universe, drawing in primordial Qi to divide into Yin and Yang, gathering the pure Yang Qi in the upper Dantian Niwan to embrace the spirit, and dispersing the turbid Yin Qi in the lower Dantian Guanyuan to refine the form. The combined Yin and Yang Qi circulates throughout the body and is nourished in the middle Dantian Qifu, just like the birth of all things, revitalizing the world and condensing the Qi of rebirth.

When the cycle of Qi was completed, Zuo Ruotong slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his fingers, and his fingertips instantly turned into white Qi, with wisps of Qi flowing and swaying in the breeze.

In this way, this body is considered to have stepped halfway into the next level. Once the cycle of Qi is completely completed, it can refine Qi into essence and strengthen its physical body.

"Um?"

Just then, Zuo Ruotong's eyes flickered, and her spiritual senses detected a slight disturbance outside the house. She focused her attention to sense it...

Someone with exceptional cultivation has actually approached?!

Although he had been cultivating himself these days, he had also been paying close attention to the changes in the village. Knowing that no outsiders had come, there was only one possibility:

"Zhang Xilin..."
