Chapter 85 Jade Slips
There was a small house in the mist.
This was built by Zhang Dahong himself.
Next to the house was a vegetable garden and a sheep pen. Lu Lin saw that there were about seven or eight sheep raised there.
There was a puddle not far away, and there were fish in the water.
If it weren't for the fog, this would be a typical country cottage.
But it would be a bit strange to place it in the mist.
"Grandmaster..."
"Lu Lin, just call me Lao Zhang. I never care about the master-disciple relationship when I teach people; that's all just empty talk."
Zhang Dahong leaned the sheep shovel against the edge of the sheepfold and took a couple of puffs of his pipe.
"Um, Mr. Zhang, have you really lived here for a hundred years?"
Lu Lin still couldn't bring himself to call out "Old Zhang".
"It's not just a hundred years. Manshan is the last person I taught. Before that, some others had already left. Two hundred years may be a bit long, but it's definitely been one hundred and fifty years. Come, don't stand outside, come inside and sit down."
Lu Lin couldn't find the house and had to rely on Zhang Dahong to guide him.
Inside the wooden house.
There wasn't much furniture: a bed, a table, a chair, and a floor-standing clothes rack with a few clothes hanging on it.
"Manshan just told me that you are a promising talent he highly regards, and he said you've been practicing martial arts for less than a year?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"That seems pretty good. You've trained your body's external strength so quickly, and you've even improved your skin and flesh. I'll see you work on your bones, huh?"
Zhang Dahong was taken aback for a moment, "I don't quite understand your situation. It seems like you've been training your bones, but it also seems like you haven't."
Lu Lin didn't explain, "Old Zhang, I don't know what happened either."
"It's fine if you don't know, but people are so complex. Throughout history, countless geniuses have failed to unravel the mysteries of the human body."
"If you're planning to continue practicing external martial arts techniques, I don't really have any. As for the Four Saints Technique, I've only reached the stage of perfecting the five internal organs. The rest is in the hands of someone in Da'an City. I asked him for it several times back then, but he refused to give it to me. If you want to continue practicing, you'll have to find him, or you'll have to change your technique."
"Master, you can't change it."
Mr. Hou's voice came from outside the door.
He pushed open the door. "Master, Lu Lin is my hope. I want him to get the later cultivation techniques and then cultivate the Blood Transformation and Golden Body. Please don't let him change the cultivation techniques."
"I won't change it."
Lu Lin nodded firmly.
He's always been the type of person who, once he makes a decision, nothing can change his mind.
Retrieving the cultivation manual from that person in Da'an City will certainly not be easy, but difficulties never disappear just because you give up.
"That's fine. When you go to Da'an City and meet him, you'll naturally find out."
"Back then, we explored ancient sites together, and we obtained the secret manuals one after the other. Unfortunately, that person was too cautious and unwilling to exchange them with me."
Zhang Dahong sighed, "Anyway, I've come to terms with it. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. It's just that I wanted to try all over the mountain back then, but I didn't succeed."
"Lu Lin will definitely succeed." Mr. Hou said firmly. "Master, you should pass on the subsequent techniques to Lu Lin first. Once his five internal organs are complete, we can figure out a way to proceed."
"Alright."
Zhang Dahong got up, took a small wooden box from under the bed, and handed it to Lu Lin.
"This is the next part of the cultivation method. Hold it close to your forehead and you can see the rest."
Is it really that amazing?
And it's that simple?
Seemingly noticing Lu Lin's confusion, Mr. Hou spoke up.
"Don't worry, your master won't harm you. This jade slip is incredibly magical; I don't know when it was passed down from."
"Moreover, Master has long since become indifferent to these things; whether you learn them or not, he won't care."
"Master, please keep an eye on Lu Lin for me. I'll go get something for Lu Lin to eat."
Mr. Hou turned and left.
Lu Lin sat cross-legged in the room and placed the jade slip close to his forehead.
moment.
Lu Lin felt as if he had entered another world.
He was in a closed, dark environment, seemingly inside a cave.
The path beneath my feet is made of stone, and before me stands a chair carved from stone.
Just as Lu Lin was filled with doubt, suddenly, a figure appeared on the stone chair.
An elderly man with white eyebrows, whose features were obscured, appeared on the stone bench and sighed.
"Haven't you learned it yet, my disciple? This clone of mine can only teach you three times, but you haven't learned it even after three tries. It seems that the destruction of my Four Saints Sect is already destined."
"Fine, this is the last time. I'll give you one more chance."
"Remember this: tempering your physical body is the most, most, most important thing. If you want to achieve something in the future, you must build upon this foundation."
"If your physical body is insufficient, then your cultivation is nothing but a mirage, a rootless duckweed."
"Only after overcoming the six trials of skin, flesh, bone, filth, blood, and marrow can one achieve a unified body and attain the supreme golden body."
"Each step is crucial and must be refined to the limit twelve times."
"Now, I will tell you how to temper and refine the five internal organs to achieve perfection."
The old man kept talking, and Lu Lin tried his best to memorize it.
He spoke quickly and urgently, but Lu Lin was able to remember every word clearly.
After a long while, the old man finished his story.
His figure also seemed somewhat unsteady.
"My disciple, remember this: the one who destroyed my Four Sacred Sects was the Heavenly Blessing Sect, especially their sect leader, Mo..."
Before he could finish his last sentence, the old man's figure suddenly vanished.
The cave dwelling in front of Lu Lin also began to crumble.
next second.
Lu Lin opened his eyes and found himself back in the wooden house.
"You've learned it, right? If you have, practice it well."
"After reaching the Five Organs level, each organ refined can increase lifespan by fifty years."
"It's been a total of two hundred and fifty years. As for me, I've only been able to live this long because of some special circumstances."
"Lu Lin, go ahead. If, if one day you can obtain the follow-up techniques of the Four Saints Technique, come to the old man's grave, pour me a cup of wine, and take a look at the contents of that technique."
"Old Zhang, you..."
Lu Lin never expected that after he finished learning the martial arts technique, Zhang Dahong would actually tell him what to do after his death.
"Don't be nervous, don't be surprised. I've lived for so long, and I'm already at the end of my rope. Maybe this year, maybe the year after, I'll kick the bucket and be gone."
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural occurrences in life; they cannot be forced, nor should they be a cause for worry."
"But seeing the mountains and seeing you, I feel that there is still hope for me to live."
"Go, go."
Zhang Dahong urged him on, and Lu Lin got up and walked out, leaving only fragments of jade slips on the ground.
Lu Lin recalled the five internal organs level cultivation techniques and found that every word was imprinted in his mind.
He can be mobilized immediately whenever needed.
Mr. Hou, who was grilling meat, saw Lu Lin come out and said, "Over here, Lu Lin, come here."
Lu Lin followed the sound and crept over.
Mr. Hou smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did your master tell you again that he's about to die? Don't worry about it. He said the same thing when I left more than a hundred years ago."
"This old fellow is in excellent physical condition. I dare not say more, but he could easily live another hundred years."
