Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; in a grove of trees.

"Master, please don't be angry. I was a little too harsh this time. Wasn't this to find out more about their situation?"

Zhang Zhiwei, such a big guy, spoke softly and gently in front of the old master.

"You know you're reckless, don't you? Not only did you slap Young Master Lu until he cried, but you also wanted to use thunder magic at the birthday banquet. You've really gone too far."

The old master got furious as soon as he mentioned this, without any attempt to hide it from Zhang Yan standing to the side.

When facing Lu Jin, the Old Master naturally wanted his disciple to win. He planned to let his beloved disciple exchange a few moves and then win beautifully.

But this wicked disciple only used one slap. Doesn't the Lu family have any face?

And then, not only did he take the initiative to invite Zhang Yan, but he also got carried away and wanted to use lightning magic at the birthday banquet.

However, this time, the wicked disciple finally suffered a small loss.

"Hmph, now you know what it means to be outmatched, don't you?"

The old celestial master glanced at Zhang Yan with a complicated expression and spoke.

"I know, I know, the world is a dangerous place."

Zhang Zhiwei scratched his head and said this.

He clearly still vividly remembered Zhang Yan's sneak attack, which is why he made such a joke.

When the old master heard that he was about to get angry again, Zhang Yan hurriedly spoke up.

"Old Master, those are all low-level skills I learned when I was traveling the world. I am no match for Brother Zhiwei in a head-on confrontation."

Just as the old celestial master was about to speak after Zhang Yan had been preparing for a long time, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Master, are you still disciplining your disciple?"

Zuo Ruotong walked over slowly from a distance and continued speaking.

"Old Master Lu is right, you've been hiding a treasure, only letting us know today. If you don't like it, why not give it to me?"

Zhang Jingqing chuckled and said.

"Brother Zuo, you're joking."

After greeting everyone, Zuo Ruotong turned around and said.

"Jin'er!"

"Come here! What do you mean? You said you wanted to come, why are you acting like a little girl?"

Lu Jin peeked out from behind a tree, looked at the group, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward.

Zhang Yan found Lu Jin's expression amusing.

It should be noted that Lu Jin, as one of the Ten Elders, would later have a reputation for a flawless life.

But the current appearance of young Lu Jin is completely unrelated to this title.

"Ask me your questions now."

Zuo Ruotong patted her beloved disciple on the back and spoke.

Lu Jin scratched his head and said.

"Senior Brother Zhang, after the competition, I realized that it wouldn't be difficult for you to beat me, but... but why did you use that method?"

The image of that slap flashed through his mind, and he felt a pang of unease. He continued, "..."

"Was my arrogant behavior too much, which displeased my senior brother?"

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Zuo Ruotong and hesitated.

When he went on stage, he was aiming for the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage, but now that Zuo Ruotong, the main person in question, was present, he could speak more freely.

"Speak! Weren't you enjoying hitting me? Now you're dawdling."

The old master spoke directly.

"Okay, if you're not afraid of offending people, I'll just say it directly."

Seeing that his master had spoken, Zhang Zhiwei no longer hesitated and spoke directly to Lu Jin.

“Young Master Lu, this is our first meeting, how could we have any objections? I was only targeting Ni Sheng San Chong.”

At this point, Zuo Ruotong, who was standing to the side, looked surprised.

Zhang Zhiwei then looked at Zhang Yan, a smile playing on his lips.

"Don't overthink it. I invited you to the match to test my master's abilities, specifically to test you out."

Zhang Yan chuckled and listened to the rest of the story.

“Young Master Lu, your Reverse Life Triple Technique is quite interesting. It’s similar to the Golden Light Spell and the Escape Light, but it’s much more complicated than both.”

"The Golden Light Mantra differs from the methods of other sects. It does not pursue the protective golden light, but rather a state of enhancing one's life cultivation."

At this point, he looked at Zhang Yan again, suspecting that Zhang Yan was always in this perfect state.

Zhang Yan responded with a smile.

"Cultivating in this state for a long time will improve one's life cultivation, and one will be able to control the golden light and the escape light as easily as one's own arm."

"Moreover, I think the Reverse Life Triad is much more complex than the Golden Light Mantra, and its effects are correspondingly more abundant."

Golden light emanated from Zhang Zhiwei's fingertips, and then he spoke.

“But complex things are not as resilient as simple ones. At the time, I wanted to test it out and see if I could use direct methods to disrupt your regenerative state.”

"I'm not underestimating you by not using my golden light. When attacking someone's dantian, I have to be extremely careful, and I simply don't have the energy to use my golden light."

Zhang Yan nodded repeatedly. With his current cultivation level, he could only do what Zhang Zhiwei had done.

Lu Jin, however, was completely bewildered.

"Do you understand? You only care about this slap, but do you understand the implications behind it?"

"A friendly exchange of skills? What did you learn? Did I bring you up here just to compete for a victory?"

After instructing her apprentice, Zuo Ruotong spoke to Zhang Zhiwei.

“My two young fellow Daoists are brilliant. You were right about everything. My foolish disciple deserves to lose.”

As he spoke, he patted Lu Jin on the back.

"Master, how about we reconsider? Perhaps we could find a different disciple, or..."

Halfway through her sentence, Zuo Ruotong looked at Zhang Yan with a smile, her meaning quite clear.

When Lu Jin saw this, she realized that they didn't want her anymore, and she was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Master, no, no! I will cultivate diligently from now on. I was wrong."

The old master coughed lightly, and Zhang Zhiwei immediately spoke.

"Master, please stop arguing. I'm getting anxious for you."

Zhang Zhiwei pulled Zhang Yan directly in front of the Celestial Master and spoke.

"Brother Zhang Yan, would you be willing to become my junior brother and join the Celestial Master's Mansion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Ruotong, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"Master, isn't having a treasure enough?"

He smiled broadly and said to Zhang Yan.

"Boy, I heard you obtained the Reverse Life Triple Technique, but you haven't read a single word of it. Do you look down on my Three Ones Sect's techniques?"

Zhang Yan waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly began to explain.

"No, no, that technique came from an illegitimate source, and the old Celestial Master said it should be returned to its rightful owner, so naturally I won't go to look at it."

When Zuo Ruotong heard the origin of the story, her face was full of disdain as she spoke.

"The martial arts techniques stolen by the Japanese are fragmented and incomplete. Hmph, even good things are wasted in their hands. Just like the Chinese characters, they become incomplete and missing parts in their hands."

Then he changed the subject and said...

"Master, thank you for investigating for so long. Now I can rest easy."

"Kid, how about you consider the Trinity Sect?"

Both Longhu Mountain and Sanyi Sect, two major sects, extended invitations at the same time.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

The current situation is turbulent, and that tragic yet magnificent era is about to arrive. With his abilities, he should not be content to stay in a corner and seek immortality or the Dao.

Although all the major sects sacrificed their lives in that era, there were still constraints within each sect.

Once Zhang Yan understood this, he immediately had an idea.

He bowed to Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Jingqing and began to speak.

"Elder Celestial Master, Master Zuo, I am deeply flattered that you two seniors value me so highly."

“But the boy already has a master. Although he is currently missing, I can only feel at ease if my master approves of such an important matter.”

"So, I found my master later, told him about it, and let him decide what to do?"

The old master and Zuo Ruotong exchanged glances and nodded at Zhang Yan at the same time.

Zuo Ruotong values ​​character most when recruiting disciples, and he really likes this young man in front of him.

He took a booklet out of his sleeve and said.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. However, since you have such a connection with my Sanyi Sect, how about becoming an unofficial disciple?"

Zhang Yan looked at the booklet in front of him, but instead of taking it, he asked a question.

"Chief Zuo, what about Liu Deshui..."

Master Zuo smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Good lad, he's even testing me now," and said.

“I’ve already seen him; he’s resolved his inner conflict.”

Zhang Yan accepted the booklet with both hands and bowed again.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance and instruction!"

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly and accepted the greeting with composure.

"Cough cough."

The old master coughed twice, and Zhang Zhiwei immediately understood. He came to Zhang Yan and spoke.

“Brother Zhang Yan, I’ve noticed there’s something wrong with your understanding of the Golden Light Mantra. Let’s discuss it later.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan bowed deeply to Zhang Jingqing and said...

"I am grateful to the Celestial Master for imparting his knowledge."

Zuo Ruotong looked at the old Celestial Master with a hint of confrontation, then turned to Zhang Yan and said.

"Where do you plan to go next?"

Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Southern Xinjiang, Medicine Immortal Sect, I need to collect some interest."
