Daqin: A buff of incredible comprehension

"It's okay, haha, what could happen to Grandpa? Grandpa is knowledgeable and experienced, how could he be defeated so easily? Xiaochen, you really opened Grandpa's eyes today. In all these years, I have never seen anyone as gifted as you. Even the old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain is far behind you. It's really shocking that you can master the Eight Wonders and the Three Stages of Reversal of Life after just one look... Haha, haha!"

Lu Jin suddenly laughed, looking a little scary, as if he had lost his mind.

Could it be that he couldn't accept this fact and so went crazy? Oh, his psychological endurance is really poor. Zhao Chen sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, Lu Jin didn't know what Zhao Chen was thinking, otherwise he might really collapse: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Lu Linglong asked anxiously.

"Brother Chen, what happened to my grandfather? Come and take a look!"

"I don't know why he's acting so abnormal. Do you want me to take a look?"

When Zhao Chen was about to check whether Lu Jin had any mental problems, Lu Jin's expression suddenly became stern.

"Xiaochen, since you don't want to join the Trinity Sect, this old man won't force you. The Trinity Sect doesn't have much to teach you anyway. So, what do you think of Linglong?"

Zhao Chen: ???

Lu Linglong: (*▽*).

Are you serious, Grandpa? I'm not ready yet. But it would be great if I could really be with Brother Chen, right?

"Linglong is very lovely, but I may be disappointed with your kindness. I have a special status and a heavy responsibility, so I am afraid I cannot accept your kindness."

"Xiaochen, what exactly are you?" "Yes, Brother Chen, why don't you..."

"Linglong, you don't need to know for now, I..." Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, he heard a voice coming.

"Mr. Zhao, what are you doing here? Why are you making such a big noise?" Wang Ye arrived in time.

"Hey, isn't this Old Master Lu and Lu Linglong? Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you guys?" "Mr. Wang, why are you here?"

"I was originally going to the library to find you, but I felt a strong aura here, so I came over to check it out. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Zhao, would be here." After Wang Ye finished speaking, he saluted Lu Jin.

"Wudang Wang Ye, meet Master Lu."

"Well, you are from Wudang, why are you here? Master Lu, what are you doing here? Are you meeting with Mr. Zhao, or are you fighting?"

Wang Ye asked with concern.

"Editor-in-chief, don't worry. Mr. Lu just wants to give me some guidance and is not planning to use force." "Huh, that's good!" Wang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also worried that Lu Jin would provoke Zhao Chen, which would have disastrous consequences.

"Wang Ye, are you close to Zhao Chen?" "We are quite familiar with each other!" Wang Ye said vaguely.

"Okay, come over here. I have something to ask you. Linglong, why don't you chat with Zhao Chen for a while?" "Mr. Zhao, I'll go over first."

"Go!"

Lu Jin took Wang Ye away, and Lu Linglong pulled Zhao Chen to sit down.

"Brother Chen, did you really master the Tongtian Seal and the Third Level of Nisheng just by taking a look? Or even comprehended something even more powerful..."

"Why, you don't believe it?"

"Not really, I just find it unbelievable. Brother Chen, your comprehension is too strong. I've been studying for so many years and still can't grasp the key points."

"Really? Then do you want to learn? I can teach you."

"Really?" Lu Linglong's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "Forget it, I still can't do it. I can't learn it."

Seeing this, how could Zhao Chen not understand Lu Linglong's thoughts? She was not stupid, but because of the evil disease in her body.

Not only is she unable to control her disease, but she will also become a "red ghost" in the future, which can be considered a kind of liberation of power. However, if she loses control, she is very likely to suffer the same fate as her mother.

From the comics she'd read in her previous life, it seemed her mother had died by sword. This didn't seem like a description of a battle between aliens, who usually mentioned various special skills. Here, the only common "random slashing" was used, which seemed particularly strange.

Actually, it wasn't surprising at all. Lu Linglong inherited this skill from her mother, and the extremely bloodthirsty effect it brought also came with a fatal side effect. Her mother couldn't control the release of this power well.

After the enemy knew of this weakness, they used the method of "random hacking" to increase the bleeding points, leading her to sink into this extreme state, and eventually exhausting her blood volume.

In the final, life-or-death battle, her mother bleeds with all her might, for in such a crucial moment, victory is impossible without an all-out attack. However, after her blood is depleted, she no longer has the energy to recover, and ultimately, after giving it her all, she dies of exhaustion.

The cartoon also shows her mother lying in a pool of blood, bleeding so much that it seems almost as if all the blood has been drained, which supports this inference.

In addition, Zhao Chen also noticed a detail, that is, Lu Linglong may have personally experienced the entire process of her mother's death, not just the final death by falling to the ground, but also the fighting part.

Although Lu Linglong has lost this memory, it still has a subconscious impact on her. In particular, the inheritance between aliens is not limited to blood, but also the transmission of skills, which has a huge psychological impact on Lu Linglong.

Zhao Chen was not sure what the sight of her mother lying in a pool of blood meant to a one-year-old child, but judging by the cub's reaction when she lost her mother, she should be able to feel the reality of her mother's death and subconsciously feel anger, powerlessness and sadness. It was just that as a one-year-old child, she was unable to realize the nature of these emotions.

As Lu Linglong grew up, these emotions gradually transformed into guilt in her subconscious mind, and self-harm became a subconscious behavior to eliminate this guilt.

Some people witness their friends being bullied and fail to stop it in time, which eventually leads to the death of their friends. This deep sense of self-blame can lead to self-harming behavior, such as achieving spiritual redemption by enduring the same pain.

In Lu Linglong's subconscious mind, she may have imagined countless times that she would bleed like her mother and lie in a pool of her own blood, instead of her mother having to bear it all.

Therefore, although Lu Linglong may not become an emotionless ** machine in the future due to the use of bloodthirsty ability, it will inevitably have a profound impact on her personality. This is why Lu Jin sent her to Quanzhen Sect to hone her mind.

While this might be a difficult problem to solve in a strange world, it's a piece of cake for Zhao Chen. If one can understand the underlying logic behind her actions, everything becomes simple. As the comics explain, even complete recovery from Lu Linglong's transformation into a red ghost isn't impossible. The narrator even mentions that the Yuanying within Bilian—the divine spirit—can destroy any mechanism that relies on invisible entities. If this is true, harnessing the divine spirit's power to restore her, Lu Linglong could return to normal.

As long as the so-called evil disease belongs to the invisible realm, there is hope for recovery. However, what Bilian can do, Zhao Chen can do more easily.

As an alternative, it would be feasible to abolish Lu Linglong's invisible energy, completely eliminate her illness, and guide her to practice true qi, but this is obviously the last choice.

Regardless, the power of the "Red Ghost" is still very strong, and it is an important survival skill for Lu Linglong. "Linglong, I understand your concerns. Are you worried about the outbreak of the evil disease in your body?"

"Ah? How did you know? No one else in the family knows except Grandpa and my eldest brother."

"I know a way. If I tell you, I can help you get rid of this evil disease or transform your bloodthirsty instincts. Are you willing to accept it?"

"Really? Can it really be cured? I do, I do!" Lu Linglong looked at Zhao Chen excitedly, fearing that he was teasing her.

Seeing her expression, Zhao Chen was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but guess in his heart:

Could it be... that my inference is correct?

Did Lu Linglong really retain her mother's memory? "Linglong, have you recovered your memory?"

"Ah! What are you talking about? Brother Chen, my memory has always been complete and I have never forgotten anything."

"Is that so? Okay, this is your privacy, I won't ask any more questions, but you must always learn to look forward and stop living in the shadow of the past." Hearing this, Lu Linglong was silent, staring at Zhao Chen, tears sliding down her face uncontrollably.

"Wow, I know, but I just can't forget it. When I think of that ** look... I..."

She was extremely excited, and the invisible force in her body began to fluctuate. Zhao Chen, who noticed this, immediately realized that the situation was not good. He immediately cast a calming talisman to calm Lu Linglong down, and set up a magic circle to block external interference.

After making sure everything was safe, he began to comfort her patiently.

Zhao Chen gently patted her shoulders and back, soothing her softly. With the calming talisman and Zhao Chen's care, Lu Linglong finally calmed down.

At this moment, she curled up in Zhao Chen's arms, and the two of them were very intimate. Although she felt shy inside, she was more happy.

Sure enough, Brother Chen is a considerate and gentle person.

"Okay, are you feeling better now?"

"Brother Chen, can what you just said really cure my illness and end this nightmare?"

"Actually, it's not difficult. It's just that this is a part of you that your mother left behind. Are you really determined to remove it?"

"I……"

Lu Linglong remained silent, feeling very conflicted. As Brother Chen had said, this was the only thing her mother had left her. Although she was extremely reluctant to possess this ability, it came from her mother after all.

"Okay, let me check it out for you first. If it really can't stay, I'll help you remove it then. How about that?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."

"It's okay, it will be done soon."

Zhao Chen began to take Lu Linglong's pulse, actually using his own Qi to enter her body and sense her physical condition. He was searching for the genes for the malignant disease hidden in her blood.
