The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

Lu Jing had absolutely no recollection of how he suddenly arrived in front of this thatched hut from Gonglou.

Judging from the clothes hanging outside to dry, this was clearly not his residence outside Wujiang City, but fortunately, there were two farmers in the fields not far away.

Lu Jing was planning to ask them where exactly this place was, but then he realized that he couldn't control his hands and feet, which startled him.

Then he noticed that Xia Huai was also gone from his arms.

Earlier, seeing Jie Liancheng's sudden attack, Lu Jing had the idea of ​​gambling on a judgment against him, moving the girl's position down, deliberately exposing his chest, because he was worried that Xia Huai would become like Wei Zixian after losing control, but he didn't let go, but now his hands were empty.

No, no, even his hands didn't seem to be his own anymore.

So, the "I" now is another person?

As Lu Jing was thinking, he found that his legs were already moving on their own, heading towards the thatched hut.

If anyone else were here, they would probably have been frightened silly by this inexplicable and bizarre scene happening to them.

Lu Jing was certainly a little worried, not knowing what trick Jie Liancheng had played with his last palm strike, but fortunately, he was a transmigrator after all, so he was quite familiar with the current situation…

Isn't this just a first-person perspective video game?

Lu Jing decided to wait and see what happened.

While he was thinking about his situation, his body had already walked into the thatched hut.

It was obvious that he wasn't here for the first time, or more precisely, he lived here, because he didn't knock on the door when he entered.

As the wooden door was pushed open, Lu Jing saw the scene inside the house.

He had a preliminary impression when he was outside the door before, that this family was not wealthy, because the thatched hut looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time.

And the scene inside the house once again confirmed his judgment, and there was also a thin, withered man lying on the bed, and the woman beside him, who was mending torn clothes, seemed to be his wife.

Seeing Lu Jing come in, both of them showed happy expressions on their faces.

And Lu Jing's gaze suddenly lowered, and when he came back to his senses, he was already kneeling on the ground, his voice choked with sobs, "Father, mother, your son is unfilial…"

"Xiao Da, don't say foolish things," the man on the bed said as he propped himself up, "These years, your parents have been a burden to you. Three years ago, Master Zhou valued you and wanted to take you as his disciple. You should have gone with him. Because of my illness, you have been delayed for three years. I heard people say that the older you get, the slower your progress in martial arts becomes. It's time for you to go."

"I…"

"Study martial arts well, and when you have mastered your skills, return home in glory. Your mother and I will be waiting for you."

At this moment, Lu Jing couldn't say anything, he just kowtowed three times heavily on the ground, then turned around and walked out of the thatched hut.

However, Lu Jing had only taken less than two steps out of the door when everything went black again, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already practicing the horse stance in a large courtyard.

The midday sun was very harsh, making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

Sweat seeped from his pores, but evaporated before it could drip, leaving only salt on his body, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

And his body had already begun to sway.

At this moment, the red-faced fat man in front of him, sitting on a grand master's chair, eating iced bayberries, said.

"If you want to develop real skills, you have to put in hard work! You must have that kind of spirit in your hearts! Your aptitude is not as good as others, your family is not as rich as others, and you don't have any friends or connections in the martial world. How will you get ahead in the future?"

After undergoing a hellish training that ordinary people could hardly imagine, Lu Jing finally entered the third-rate realm at the age of twenty-eight, bid farewell to his fat master, and made a name for himself in the martial world.

It was just that his father was no longer around at that time, but fortunately, Lu Jing had brought his mother to his side, and he had also met a woman who loved him, bought a house in the city, and started a family.

Life was much better than before, but the gang Lu Jing belonged to and another gang in the city had always been at odds, and the two sides often fought, each losing a lot of manpower.

In addition, Lu Jing still kept in mind what his fat master had said back then, and continued to practice martial arts every day.

It was probably because he was too invested in martial arts that the originally good relationship between him and his wife gradually faded over time. It just so happened that Lu Jing was favored by a master in the gang at this time, who wanted to take him on a long trip, both to handle affairs and to give him guidance.

Lu Jing agreed directly, despite his wife's objections.

As a result, he didn't expect that this trip would last seven years.

They encountered an accident on the way, the master died on the spot, and Lu Jing was chased all the way. He didn't dare to go home, for fear of leading his enemies to his mother, wife, and children, so he could only flee to the frontier.

Hiding in Tibet outside the Great Wall, he experienced several hard battles, and finally escaped by feigning death, but could only live in anonymity, until he obtained a great opportunity, his martial arts cultivation broke through to the second-rate realm, and he killed his enemies, before he was finally able to return home.

But when he got home, he learned that the gang he had joined before had been destroyed by the opposing gang two years ago, and his wife and mother had also been killed by his mortal enemy in the opposing gang, and the whereabouts of his only son were unknown.

So, Lu Jing found one of his life-and-death friends, and together they destroyed that mortal enemy's family.

After avenging his revenge, it just so happened that there were rumors in the martial world that a divine skill had appeared.

Both of them were very tempted, and they went to find the divine skill non-stop. They didn't have too much hope at first, but they didn't expect that they really found that divine skill in a place that everyone had ignored.

It was just that this divine skill then turned the two life-and-death friends into enemies, and after a fierce battle, Lu Jing laughed to the end and obtained the secret book.

As a result, Lu Jing suddenly heard news of his son at this time. He wanted to set off to find him, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the divine skill, so he decided to practice his skills for a month before going to find his son, thinking it wouldn't be too late.

But he didn't expect that the divine skill was particularly obscure and difficult to understand. In a month, Lu Jing only touched the surface, so he decided to read it again for another month.

After another month, although Lu Jing still couldn't fully understand it, he gained a lot more than the last time he read it. He only felt that many of the problems that had troubled him in the past had been solved easily, and he was completely immersed in it.

So, he simply returned to the thatched hut where he was born and concentrated on studying this secret book.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. As Lu Jing understood more and more, his skill growth rate became faster and faster, and he even stepped into the first-rate realm, but by that time he was already an old man with gray hair at the temples.

Moreover, he could never decipher the last sentence of the secret book.

Lu Jing was pondering every day, so he didn't think about tea or food.

Originally, a first-rate master could almost achieve a strong body and immunity to all diseases, but because Lu Jing was too invested in studying the secret book and spent too much energy, he eventually exhausted himself.

Finally, a mouthful of blood spurted onto the secret book.

And Lu Jing's body slowly fell down.

… … … …

This was probably the longest cutscene Lu Jing had ever seen in his life, covering almost a person's entire life.

Until that person finally fell, everything went black before his eyes.

And when he opened his eyes, he was back outside the thatched hut, but this time, he had regained control of his body, and he was no longer in that person's body.

Lu Jing checked his body, and before he could do anything, the door of the thatched hut in front of him opened by itself.
