Chapter 23: Triple Inversion, Lu Jin's Intentions

~8 min read 1,522 words

Regarding the praise for Lin Xuan, Fang Dongtian accepted it on his behalf.

His aged face was full of smiles, and if one looked closely, there was even a hint of pride.

Fang Dongtian did not have many years left to live.

Other thoughts had faded.

But as a junior of Baiyun Guan, Lin Xuan could support the entire Baiyun Guan and the entire Quanzhen lineage.

It is no exaggeration to say that one such disciple could sustain the Quanzhen Baiyun Guan for an entire era.

"Lu Lao, there are still matters at the Tianshi Hui, so I shall take my leave first."

Feng Zhenghao stood up to take his leave.

"I am sorry to have troubled President Feng to come here amidst your busy schedule."

Lu Jin smiled and nodded.

"Lu Lao is too kind. I feel my trip was well worth it this time. Little Brother Lin, if you have free time in the future, you are welcome to come to the Tianshi Hui for a visit.

I have many young people there around your age; I reckon you would get along well."

Feng Zhenghao extended an invitation to Lin Xuan.

"Many thanks, I will certainly come next time!"

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.

Seeing Lin Xuan agree, Feng Zhenghao's smile was visibly broader.

After Feng Zhenghao left, Na Ruhu also stood up to take his leave.

Next was Lv Ci.

He left the same words as Feng Zhenghao, clearly also holding Lin Xuan in extremely high regard.

"Old Lu, this old Daoist should be heading back as well."

Fang Dong said.

"Wait a moment, they can leave, but you cannot!"

Lu Jin spoke up to stop them.

"Eh?"

Fang Dongtian was stunned, looking at Lu Jin with some surprise.

He didn't need to worry about them meaning any harm, he just couldn't figure out what Lu Jin intended to do.

"This is not the place to talk. Let us go inside to speak. Little Xuan, Lu Lin, you come along too."

Fang Dongtian was puzzled, but he still stood up with Lu Jin.

Lu Lin and Lin Xuan exchanged a glance, then lifted their feet to follow.

Lu Linglong was very curious to see the four of them leave together.

But many of the juniors who came this time knew Lu Linglong and came over to greet her before leaving, so Lu Linglong did not chase after them.

After the four of them arrived in a quiet room, Lu Jin raised his hand to let the three of them sit.

After Lin Xuan and the others were seated, Lu Jin's face showed quite a bit of hesitation.

It seemed he wanted to do something, but could not make up his mind.

"Old Lu, if you have something to say, just say it. We have known each other for nearly a hundred years; what is there that cannot be said?"

Fang Dongtian frowned.

"Besides, if you really feel it is not good to say it, then don't. Little Xuan and I will leave now."

"Don't, Old Fang, look at you, still a master of Quanzhen, why be so impatient."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin hurriedly raised his hand.

After saying this, he glanced at Fang Dongtian and then turned to look at Lin Xuan.

"Sigh, Little Xuan might not know, but you, Old Fang, should be clear about the affairs of our Sanyi Sect."

As soon as Lu Jin said this, Fang Dongtian's expression changed.

He certainly knew about the affairs of the Sanyi Sect.

There was no one of the older generation who did not know about the conflict that broke out between the Sanyi Sect and the Quannxing back then.

Moreover, Fang Dongtian still remembered the demeanor of that Great Profit Immortal from back then.

"You should also know about our Sanyi Sect's inherited technique, the Triple Inversion."

Lu Jin said again.

"Just say what you have to say, stop dawdling."

A sense of unease arose in Fang Dongtian's heart.

"Fine, since you put it that way, Old Fang, I won't beat around the bush. Little Xuan has great talent, so I want to pass the Triple Inversion on to him."

The Triple Inversion!

Fang Dongtian looked at Lu Jin in shock.

"You are actually willing? That is your Sanyi Sect's ultimate trump card technique!"

Fang Dongtian looked shocked.

Although he had thought of this possibility just now, hearing it from Lu Jin's own mouth, he could not help but be shocked.

The reputation of the Triple Inversion was no less than that of the Lightning Method of Longhu Mountain back in the day.

That Great Profit Immortal practiced the Triple Inversion back then, and at an age similar to the Lao Tianshi of Longhu Mountain at the time, he still looked only twenty or thirty years old.

Lu Jin gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, glanced at Lu Lin, and then his expression became serious.

"Old Fang, I won't hide it from you. As the ultimate technique of our Sanyi Sect, the Triple Inversion is indeed extraordinary, but it actually has a major drawback.

You should know that back then, many of our uncles and seniors were all left crippled."

Hearing this, the shocked expression on Fang Dongtian's face收斂, and he frowned as he looked at Lu Jin.

"Are you saying it was practiced by training the Triple Inverse Life?"

"That is indeed the case. The difficulty of practicing the Triple Inverse Life is very high; once something goes wrong, the light result is disability, and the heavy result is loss of life."

Lu Jin spoke of the cultivation flaws of the Triple Inverse Life.

"Old Lu, our Baiyun Guan has treated your Lu family quite well, hasn't it?"

Fang Dongtian's expression was unkind.

"Old Fang, don't get angry, listen to me first."

Lu Jin sighed, raised his hand to soothe Fang Dongtian, and then looked at Lin Xuan.

"The cultivation of the Triple Inverse Life has requirements for both aptitude and state of mind; this is also the reason why the Three-One Sect was extremely picky when accepting disciples back then.

But there is no need to say much about Little Xuan's talent and state of mind; they are certainly sufficient, and more importantly, his luck is very good."

Lu Jin said to Fang Dong.

"That won't do either, I disagree."

Fang Dongtian waved his hand directly, refusing on Lin Xuan's behalf.

After all, in Fang Dongtian's eyes, Lin Xuan was the trump card for the resurgence of Quanzhen.

However, Fang Dongtian was still grateful that Lu Jin had stated the drawbacks of the Triple Inverse Life in advance.

Previously, when he thought that Lu Jin intended to bring out the Triple Inverse Life, he had been quite happy.

After all, the reputation of the Triple Inverse Life is truly great.

But now, he had changed his mind.

"Old Fang, the cultivation difficulty of each level of the Triple Inverse Life increases by dozens of times or even more, but the first level has no side effects.

If it really doesn't work, one can just practice the first level."

Lin Xuan listened quietly from the side; he was naturally no stranger to the Triple Inverse Life, or rather, he likely understood it even better than Lu Lin and Fang Dongtian.

Once the Triple Inverse Life is unleashed, the body will undergo Qi-transformation.

Even if one suffers a fatal wound, after Qi-transformation, the injury can instantly recover.

Once the first level is mastered, the skin and flesh can undergo Qi-transformation, and it can also make one's sinews and bones tough, possessing the strength of a lion or tiger.

The second level is when the internal organs and bones can also undergo Qi-transformation.

Once reaching this realm, as long as the Qi is sufficient, it is almost equivalent to half an immortal body.

No matter how heavy the injury, in the face of the second level, they are all minor injuries that can be restored in an instant.

Simply mastering the first and second levels allows the sinews, bones, flesh, and internal organs to all undergo Qi-transformation, and one can even regrow severed limbs.

It is absolutely worthy of being rated as heaven-defying.

As for the third level, it is rumored to be reversing the body back to the state of Primordial One Qi.

But as for what the third level is specifically like, no one knows.

Perhaps the Great Profit Immortal reached this realm before he died back then.

"If one does not push through the barrier, then there will be no issues at all."

Lu Jin spoke up.

"That is easy to say, but is it really so easy to interrupt cultivation?"

Fang Dongtian frowned, glanced at Lin Xuan, and then shook his head.

"But Little Xuan's luck is very good."

Lu Jin tried to persuade him further, but Fang Dongtian's expression was unkind.

Good luck?

Then what if something happens?

If something goes wrong, not to mention losing one's life, even just ending up with a disability is not acceptable.

"Old Fang, you keep refusing; why not ask Little Xuan himself what he thinks?"
