"That’s really big~"
"Want me to massage it for you?"
"Linglong, are you too tired? Did you skip dinner?"
"Aaaaah! Help! I’m being skinned alive!"
...
"So, how was it? How are my skills?"
Lu Linglong gave a pat to Luo Huan, who had turned into a cat-paste-like state while lying on the bed, and asked.
But Luo Huan no longer had the strength to respond.
Regret. The person involved deeply regretted it.
After all, two youthful, beautiful girls, plus a bathhouse full of honest nakedness—it should’ve been a pleasant journey filled with the fragrance of lilies.
But then Luo Huan had to get curious and ask about body scrubbing.
And so, Master Lu Linglong decided to demonstrate the old-fashioned traditional scrubbing technique she had learned from her uncle.
It was an ancient wellness method capable of clearing the meridians!
Combined with that high-quality medicinal wine, it was truly the real deal!
As it turned out, the technique was excellent, and the person was trustworthy, and it did, in fact, clear Luo Huan’s meridians.
The only problem was—it hurt like hell!
Even now, having fully recovered and feeling light enough to fly, Luo Huan still couldn’t forget Lu Linglong’s hands.
Damn, she nearly had her skin scraped off!
After that, Luo Huan was like a feather-light cat strip, being led around the grand bathhouse to experience the warmth of the Lu Family.
She didn’t even remember how she got back to the bed.
"Luo Huan, you smell so good~"
...
Lu Family's private training room.
"Hiss~ Linglong, did I drink last night? Why do I have no memory of it?"
After freeloading yet another breakfast from the Lu Family—
Luo Huan asked Lu Linglong with a puzzled look.
All she remembered was being in that bathhouse and encountering something terrifying, and then everything went blank.
"Hahaha, it’s nothing serious. How are you feeling today?"
Lu Linglong laughed it off. No way she was going to admit she almost lost control last night.
Not even flowers had made her feel like this before.
Seriously, this Luo Huan was making her far too happy.
Hopefully today would go smoothly.
"I feel great—better than I expected."
Luo Huan replied with confident certainty.
The moment she woke up this morning, she checked her inner state again.
After last night’s ‘exercise,’ her internal Qi was flowing more smoothly, and her control over her body had reached a new level.
Her perception of the body’s energy circulation patterns became much clearer. She felt refreshed like never before.
It was practically a 'psycho you high!' moment!
This attempt felt like a sure win!
What’s more, she had mentally rehearsed the Qi flow pattern of the Reverse Life Triple and felt confident about it.
Yes, with the blessing of three souls, Luo Huan’s cultivation ability was terrifyingly strong, and her memory reached a photographic level.
As for why she had forgotten what happened last night?
Well, with great breasts comes great forgetfulness—she had selectively erased the unpleasant parts.
‘Next time I go in, I’ll definitely share this! Let them feel Lu Linglong’s technique too!’
Luo Huan grumbled internally.
"Alright, read the manual again."
Lu Jin nodded and handed the Reverse Life Triple manual to Luo Huan.
As for the medicinal bath—Linglong had already taken care of that last night during the scrubbing.
The Lu Family was big and wealthy—they didn’t care about a few herbs.
Many of the herbs were already being mass-produced, and the special Qi-infused ones were available at Heavenly Herb Hall.
Even if Luo Huan couldn’t learn the Reverse Life Triple, they’d just consider it a gift from the Lu Family.
"Okay."
Luo Huan read through the Reverse Life Triple from beginning to end once more and began asking Lu Jin about the parts she didn’t quite understand.
Lu Jin explained everything to her with great patience.
He showed none of the wariness typical of other sects, who feared others might discover flaws in their techniques and exploit them.
After all, anyone who had lived long enough knew about the weaknesses of the Reverse Life Triple.
He had even showcased it himself at a grand banquet back in the day! (╥◡╥)
Lu Lin, too, sat nearby, activating the first layer of Reverse Life, and patiently shared his own insights with Luo Huan bit by bit.
It was far beyond what was customary.
But Lu Lin knew very well—Great-Grandfather had never wanted him to inherit the Reverse Life Triple.
The Lu Family had a strict rule: learn all arts from the hundred schools, but never pass on what you’ve learned to your own family.
Great-Grandfather had upheld that rule for a century and wouldn’t have broken it unless he absolutely had to.
But at the time, there was no choice. Nearly all the new generation had tried the technique.
And yet, he was the only one who could enter the right state.
Great-Grandfather’s face had gone pitch-black with disappointment, but in the end, he had chosen to pass the method down.
He had no choice but to break the family rule himself.
Even though it had already been passed down, Lu Lin understood—
In Great-Grandfather’s eyes, until it was passed on to an outsider, it hadn’t truly been transmitted.
“…Did I explain it clearly?”
Lu Lin asked. He wasn’t just teaching Luo Huan—he was rehearsing it for himself, to better teach it to a disciple in the future.
“Mm. Let’s begin.”
Luo Huan nodded, then sat cross-legged on the spot with her five hearts facing heaven.
She began to smooth out the restless Qi within her body, calming her scattered thoughts.
Her breath gradually evened out, and the Qi circulation became smoother and smoother.
Lu Jin watched Luo Huan, his emotions in turmoil.
He was full of anticipation, but also fear.
He hoped Luo Huan would truly enter the Reverse Life state—but he also feared that his hopes would once again be dashed.
After all, he was beginning to feel desperate.
He was already over a hundred years old and had cultivated the Reverse Life Triple to the point where he only lacked the reconstitution of the Three Dantians.
Even if cultivators could live longer, time was running out for him.
He still needed to attempt the third layer. He still had to find Wu Gensheng and avenge his sect.
Time was no longer on his side.
Lu Linglong and Lu Lin also held their breath, watching Luo Huan nervously.
Great-Grandfather had never spoken to them about the past—only mentioning that the *\Reverse Life Triple had come from his own master’s sect, the Trinity Mystic Sect.
But after asking other elders and piecing it together with Great-Grandfather’s attitude—
They both knew that this was a lingering regret in his heart.
So they, too, wished for Luo Huan’s success.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire training room was Luo Huan’s steady breathing.
Just as it seemed like this stillness would stretch on forever—
Suddenly, the Qi in Luo Huan’s body began to shift.
The previously pale red Qi began to fade, transforming into a pure white Qi.
Her shoulder-length pink hair also began to change in that moment.
It started from the crown of her head and spread outward. In less than a single breath, it had turned completely pale white.
Her skin followed the same pattern, quickly draining of color and becoming a milky white.
Already beautiful, Luo Huan now looked like a divine statue radiating full divinity.
“Reverse… Reverse Life First Layer!”
Lu Jin’s voice trembled, and he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
It had been passed down—the Reverse Life Triple had truly been passed on!
Master! It’s been passed down!
