From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"I didn't feel anything. On the contrary, it was similar to the usual Qi circulation, or even more unbearable. The moonlight was cold and stimulated my whole body, making me tremble. The sunlight was too hot, giving me the feeling that my whole body would burn to ashes."

As she spoke, Lu Jin's body began to tremble involuntarily.

# Chapter 248 Cultural Street, Confucian Association

trembling?

Burning?

Jiang Liu pondered Lu Jin's feelings for a moment and thought they were quite normal.

Moonlight is cold, sunlight is warm; the essence of the sun and moon must give people the sensory experience of cold and heat.

To harmonize the cold and heat, the key probably lies in harmonizing the five internal organs.

He felt comfortable because he had the help of the spirits of his five internal organs and had mastered the art of controlling the fire for a day. The essence of the sun and moon entered his body and could be integrated into the body cultivation system, becoming an aid to the stimulation of potential and the evolution of life.

However, Lu Jin did not have the innate advantage of sealing the five gods like Jiang Liu. When he cultivated, the moonlight entered his body and made his bones feel cold, while the sun's essence melted into his marrow and burned his five internal organs.

At the very least, the five internal organs must be thoroughly harmonized, that is, the organs other than the kidneys must be placed in the central palace of the body, the five elements must be gathered, yin and yang must be transformed, and the essence of the sun and moon must be absorbed before one can feel comfortable.

Moreover, to truly make use of the essence of the sun and moon, one must first master the art of controlling the heat for a day.

"That's even more difficult!"

Upon learning of Jiang Liu's cultivation insights, Lu Jin exclaimed, "Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

Just bringing the other four organs into the central palace would take an unknown amount of time, let alone controlling the heat for a single day.

It would be better to focus solely on improving one's physical and mental cultivation!

"Nothing is impossible to a willing mind."

Jiang Liu advised.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin suddenly understood. Cultivating Qi was already difficult, so what did it matter if it was even more difficult since he had already embarked on the path of cultivation?

Seeing that Lu Jin suddenly realized, Jiang Liu was also happy and said, "Do you still remember the concept of turning the world upside down that I taught you? The Hinayana turns by oneself, the Middle Vehicle turns with others, and the Mahayana teaches others to turn with me. It is complicated and life is no different from spiritual practice."

Settling the other four organs is not urgent; we can take our time. You don't have my innate special abilities, and like cultivating the Eight Directions Reversal and the Nine Heavens Reversal, it's a slow and meticulous process. However, you can start working on the daily training now, since it's just a matter of time.

It's not difficult.

Although Lu Jin understood, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiang Liu's claim that it was "not difficult".

It would take Brother Lianjiang a whole year to master the skill of controlling the heat for even a day, so how long would it take him to establish his central palace with his kidneys?

Five years?

Or fifty years?

According to the Ninth Master of the Shangqing Maoshan School, mastering the timing of fire for even a day is enough to make one's cultivation skills reach the pinnacle.

Lu Jin estimated that it would take him fifty years.

"Give yourself some confidence. After all, you have combined the Eight Directions Reversal and the Ninefold Reversal, and you have also established the Qimen in your body. Even if you don't understand Qimen magic, it can still provide you with a lot of help in controlling the timing. Especially after obtaining the Treasure Chest Seal Dharani Mantra, it will be more convenient for you to enter and exit the inner realm."

Jiang Liu offered words of comfort.

“That’s true, and I also have the idea of ​​correcting the Sanyi Sect in the future.” Lu Jin decided that in his spare time from life, work and cultivation, he must read more Taoist and Buddhist scriptures in order to create a “Reverse Life Mantra” for the Sanyi Sect that can match the method of reverse life and enter the inner realm.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple and Reverse Rebirth Ninefold are actually not perfect—don't you see that Brother Jiang integrated the Reversal of Eight Directions into the Reverse Rebirth Ninefold, making it the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique?

But Lu Jin knew that the Sanyi Sect couldn't do things this way. It had to use the method of reversing life as its main foundation to create and reverse life. Otherwise, Wang Yaozu would also become a founder of the Sanyi Sect!

In fact, Lu Jin himself was quite pleased that Wang Yaozu, who had reformed, would become one of the patriarchs worshipped by the Sanyi Sect in the future.

No objection.

But he also had to consider the feelings of the other members of the Sanyi Sect.

Especially Li Muxuan!

The other party respected Jiang Liu, but would never acknowledge Wang Yaozu as their patriarch, because he had paid for learning the "Reversal of Eight Directions" technique, similar to the Tai Chi Martial Arts School in Yuhang City—it was just a business transaction. It's just that Wang Yaozu had also taught him his most secret moves.

There is absolutely no way that Li Muxuan would acknowledge Ghost Hand King as his ancestor because of this!

“Therefore, you need to control the heat even more and, in the future, designate the other organs as the central palace of Qimen.” Jiang Liu said, hooking his arm around Lu Jin’s neck, and they went out the door.

Right outside the door is a clean and tidy cultural street!

Over the past year.

The former slums have been transformed, with wide streets and bustling alleys.

Besides Lu Mingfei's publicity, Jiang Liu used his second opportunity to ask Liu Wei for free intelligence in order to spread the news of establishing the cultural street.

Therefore, over the past year, a steady stream of independent cultivators and individuals seeking a living have bravely come to Yuhang, settling down, running businesses, and recruiting apprentices.

Many unclaimed children from the slums were taken in as apprentices by independent cultivators. Even those without the aptitude for Qi cultivation could become outer sect apprentices, earning food while learning a skill that would allow them to make a living in the future.

In addition, a welfare home was built on the street to provide a place for the remaining children to stay until they reach adulthood.

In a prosperous era, children without the aptitude for Qi cultivation would be looked down upon by these independent cultivators or craftsmen with only a single skill.

But in this chaotic era, their skills might disappear at any time, so in order to pass them on, they had no choice but to cast a wide net.

The cultural street established by the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe was like providing them with a "platform," which they naturally wanted to take advantage of.

After the Cultural Street was built, Jiang Liu established a Confucian Association, which included workers, farmers, merchants, ordinary merchants who set up businesses on the street, and other people. They all sought development together.

Unlike the major sects that stay in the mountains, the independent cultivators who make a living in the human world and the extraordinary people who are skilled in various arts are actually very close to ordinary people, and even their thoughts are similar. They are willing to cooperate with ordinary people.

"Although Cultural Street is not as bustling as the downtown area, it has all kinds of people with different skills, such as food, carpentry, blacksmithing, papermaking, clothing stores, etc. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the vital organs."

If Lu Jin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't have imagined that in just one year, this place had transformed from a dilapidated and dirty area into a clean, tidy, and orderly neighborhood.

more importantly!

He also participated in the construction process!

I feel a great sense of accomplishment!

"It's alright, I guess."

Jiang Liu smiled and walked to a steamed bun stall. The stall owner was an extraordinary person who knew Tai Chi and could knead dough very well.

Therefore, his steamed buns are much tastier than those in other neighborhoods.

His Tai Chi skills were inherited from the Wudang School. His father had been supporting him since he was a child, but he couldn't bear the hardships of training on the mountain, so he returned to secular life, inherited the family business, opened a steamed bun shop, got married and had children, and started using Tai Chi to knead dough. He found practicing Tai Chi on the mountain increasingly tedious, but when he applied Tai Chi to kneading dough, it became smoother and smoother.

Compared to constantly practicing martial arts, he actually prefers making steamed buns from the bottom of his heart.

Because of trouble in his hometown, he wanted to take his whole family to Wudang Mountain to take refuge, but his former master, who had taught him kung fu, refused to accept them.

Who told him to run down the mountain in the first place?

However, in the end, I still advised him to come to Yuhang.

"Boss Wang, give me six large meat buns, two bags in total."

Jiang Liu laughed.

"Okay, Chairman."

The stall owner, Wang Baozhi, had a big smile on his face. He opened the steamer, took out some oil paper, packed three buns in each bun, and handed them to Jiang Liu.

Seeing Jiang Liu take out money, Wang Zhibao quickly said, "Chairman, you don't need to pay."

"Fair trade".

Jiang Liu put down the money for the steamed buns, took the buns, and laughed, "If I don't charge money, it will become taken for granted over time, and the others in the Confucian Association will follow suit. Then we will be following in the footsteps of the Qing Dynasty gentlemen."

# Chapter 249 The Two Beauties of Qingbai! Lu Jin in Women's Clothing?

"Give."

Jiang Liu handed one of the oil paper bags to Lu Jin, took out a bun for himself, took a bite, and found the skin soft, the meat thick, and the taste excellent.

"The owner's cooking skills are really good."

Lu Jin also took out a steamed bun, took a bite, and praised Wang Baozhi's skills, "I never thought that Tai Chi could be used to make steamed buns."

"I didn't expect that either, haha!"

Wang Baozhi smiled憨厚ly, poured flour onto the cutting board, dug a hole, poured in water, and with a combination of soft and strong movements, he kneaded the water and flour into a dough the size of a human head, which then spun around.

This is also one of the selling points of Wang's steamed bun stall: customers can watch him knead the dough with the strength of Tai Chi.

“I used to practice Tai Chi on the mountain, but I had no hope and didn’t know what I was persisting in. But I persisted in kneading dough and making a living, and my strength and skill have caught up with some of my fellow disciples from the Wudang School.”

That's true.

In terms of mastering Tai Chi energy, Wang Baozhi's skill is exquisite, but in terms of combat ability, he is probably no match for any disciple of the Wudang Sect.

After all, he had focused all his skills on kneading dough and had hardly sparred with any extraordinary individuals, let alone engaged in life-or-death battles, so he was naturally not good at fighting.

"Brother Jiang, is this one of the ways to bridge the gap between superhumans and ordinary people?"

As Lu Jin ate her steamed bun, she had already grasped Jiang Liu's philosophy.

"Lu Jin!"

Just then, a delicate shout rang out from behind.

Lu Jin's action of biting into the bun instantly froze. She turned around blankly and caught sight of a girl with a round and cute face and a slender figure.

Wang Baoling.

Wang Baozhi's daughter.

"You're coming to my house for steamed buns?"

Wang Baoling, all smiles, moved closer to Lu Jin.

This startled Lu Jin, who quickly jumped back three meters, raised his hands, and shouted, "Don't come near me! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

Why is Lu Jin so afraid of Wang Baoling?

It all started when Lu Jin came here to buy steamed buns and happened to see Wang Baoling steaming buns for his father. She saw it and fell in love at first sight, and then she started to pursue him relentlessly.
