Dragon Raja: The Divine Man Lu Mingfei

After receiving Su Enxi's agreement, Lu Mingfei nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Enxi, when it comes to cultivation, the first thing you need to understand is the most fundamental point..." At this point, Lu Mingfei deliberately paused, holding a pose as if waiting for Su Enxi to ask a question.

"May I ask, Master, what is the reasoning behind this?" Su Enxi asked cooperatively.

"This cultivation of the Tao, from beginning to end, is nothing but cultivating the mind," Lu Mingfei said, feigning expertise, his tone perfectly measured, carrying the air of a wise hermit.

"An ancient saying goes: 'The body is a Bodhi tree, the mind a bright mirror. Constantly wipe it clean, lest it be covered with dust.' This speaks to the fundamental principle. You entered the Dao too late, having spent so many years in the mortal world in your youth, accumulating too much worldly dust in your heart. From now on, you must always remember this principle and never slacken your efforts. Another ancient saying goes: 'The Jade Capital in Heaven, with its twelve towers and five cities. An immortal touched my head, granting me longevity.' This speaks to the ultimate essence of cultivation. As long as you cultivate your heart to perfection and purity, you will naturally resonate with the Great Dao. At that time, becoming an immortal or ancestor, transcending the Three Realms, will not be an unattainable goal."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Su Enxi's head, his five fingers spread out, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

Sitting opposite Lu Mingfei, Su Enxi looked at him with a profound and inscrutable expression, feeling both puzzled and impressed. She couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's the connection between those two lines of poetry you mentioned? One speaks of cultivating the mind and wiping away ashes, and the other speaks of immortals bestowing longevity."

Upon hearing this question, Lu Mingfei's smiling face instantly turned long, and he stopped what he was doing. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't! You've ruined the atmosphere with just one question. Don't you think that reciting a few lines of poetry at a time like this would greatly enhance my sophistication?"

Seeing that Lu Mingfei seemed genuinely angry, Su Enxi shrank back and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Master. I was wrong. I was too talkative. I promise I'll never do it again."

Seeing that Lu Mingfei's expression had gradually softened and his anger had subsided, she cautiously asked again, "Then may I ask Master another question? How exactly should one cultivate one's mind? Are there any introductory methods?"

"Well, it's not that difficult, but it's not that simple either. Actually, the method I'm teaching you for cultivating your mind and the method I'm using to enhance your bloodline are essentially the same thing. It's like killing two birds with one stone, a win-win situation." Lu Mingfei's earlier joking expression vanished, replaced by a serious one. "While this method sounds incredibly effective, strengthening both your bloodline and cultivating your mind, its implementation is fraught with difficulties. You'll inevitably suffer physical and mental torment along the way. I'll ask you one last time: are you truly prepared?"

"I'm ready!" Su Enxi replied seriously, her expression also hardening, her eyes filled with the determination of someone about to join the Party.

"Alright!" Lu Mingfei shouted, standing up abruptly. He took out his whisk and flicked it lightly. The whisk gently swept across Su Enxi's face, carrying a faint scent of soapberry, before settling steadily on her head. Almost simultaneously, Su Enxi felt a surge of profound and mysterious knowledge flood her mind.

She was initially flustered and at a loss when Lu Mingfei suddenly shouted, "Calm down! Focus your mind! Don't let your thoughts wander!" She was startled and quickly forced herself to pull her wandering thoughts back, calm her mind, and dared not have any more distracting thoughts.

The moon outside the window slowly slanted westward, and the entire city was immersed in a deep, dark silence. The night stretched on endlessly, and Su Enxi officially embarked on this long and arduous path of cultivation...

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Mai Shude had a great time today, wandering around from noon until evening, with a faint smile always on her lips. She had received rigorous ninja training since childhood, and the words "well-trained" were practically etched into her bones. However, due to her natural personality, she didn't like to put on airs as a ninja, and was usually relaxed and easygoing most of the time.

No matter how lazy she appeared, the vigilance ingrained in her instincts never disappeared—even when sitting in a bustling restaurant, she would unconsciously remember the location of the exit, scan the faces of strangers around her, never lean her back against the chair, and always keep a bit of strength in her fingertips, ready to deal with any sudden changes. Over the years, she had long been accustomed to living with that faint sense of wariness, never thinking that one day she could completely relax.

But today is different.

Perhaps it's because of Lu Mingfei's terrifying record. Whether it's making the entire Chen family disappear or scaring the King of Earth and Mountain with just a pet dog, these are all outrageous feats unheard of in the world of mixed-race people.

That's why, when standing next to Lu Mingfei, Jiu Demai could clearly feel an unparalleled sense of security. That sense of security was like the saying that if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and Lu Mingfei was that tall person standing at the very front. If the sky fell, he would be the first to bear it, and there was no need for the people behind him to worry.

So at the end of the day, she felt completely relaxed, a sense of ease and tranquility that emanated from her very bones—an experience she had rarely had in her more than twenty years of life.

She suddenly remembered a line from a villain in an anime series that Su Enxi had dragged her to watch before: "Isn't the point of living to have a little peace of mind?" At the time, she thought it was just the villain being pretentious, but after experiencing that relaxation firsthand today, she suddenly realized that the line was absolutely right.

In truth, she had secretly fantasized about whether one day she would meet someone who could stand before her and give her an unconditional sense of security. Although her cool exterior always gave off a mature and composed impression, she was, after all, just a girl in her early twenties. It's the age for dreaming, and even if one's hands are stained with blood and one has witnessed the darkest battles, it's normal to still harbor a little girlish fantasy.

With this thought in mind, Mai fell asleep peacefully, and slept exceptionally soundly—a rare and restful sleep she hadn't had in many years. But just as she was enjoying her sleep, she was awakened by a faint commotion coming from next door.

Just as she was annoyed that her rare good mood was about to be ruined, she suddenly realized that the noise was coming from Lu Mingfei's room next door, and it sounded very similar to last night. She frowned and began to think. Could it be that Xia Mi had sneaked over again? No, that doesn't seem right. What exactly happened?

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of urgency suddenly welled up in her heart, urging her to hurry over and see what had happened. Mai Shude always trusted her intuition as a ninja, and without the slightest hesitation, she casually gathered her bathrobe, slipped on her soft-soled slippers, and left the room, heading straight for Lu Mingfei's bedroom.

She first tried to sneak a peek through the crack in the door to see what was happening inside, but the door, which was not locked, was blocked tightly. Mai Shude's heart tightened instantly—something serious had indeed happened! In order to prevent Lu Mingfei from having any accidents, she no longer hesitated, took half a step back, and directly broke down the door.

But when she saw the situation inside the room, she froze on the spot, unsure of how to react.

At the same time, Lu Mingfei and Su Enxi also saw Jiu De Mai burst into the room. Su Enxi shrank back in fright, not daring to meet Jiu De Mai's gaze; Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, still sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed, slowly extending a hand towards Jiu De Mai and saying:

"Mai, do you want to dance too?"
