Regarding the new star, there should be mysterious phenomena and supernatural powers, but Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng know very little about it.
The main reason is information asymmetry. They live in the old land and find it difficult to obtain the most cutting-edge secrets.
As for the immortals, they seem even more ethereal.
Wang Xuan believes that a long time ago there was a group of people who practiced Qigong or focused on meditation to regulate their body and mind and gain power far beyond that of ordinary people.
His speculation can be confirmed by some ancient books.
Wang Xuan had seen similar records in Huangdi Neijing: People in ancient times followed the laws of yin and yang and were in harmony with the art of numbers, so they were able to have both form and spirit in harmony.
In ancient times, if a strange man with one arm subduing a tiger appeared in the mountains or swamps, he would most likely be revered and worshipped by the ancestors.
As time goes by, the stories that are passed down may become distorted and gradually become myths.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there were extremely strong individuals among the ancients who practiced meditation to the highest level, nourishing their bodies and thus gaining incredible power.
For example, there are a few cases recorded in ancient books where alchemists were so physically and mentally vigorous that they could throw elephants with one hand.
Wang Xuan felt that if he practiced the old technique to the end, he might be able to achieve this.”
When a person's power reaches this level, what does it mean to the ancients? It is the embodiment of mythology.
Wang Xuan believed that there had never been immortals or Buddhas, but there was just a group of people who were once very powerful.
Therefore, in the field of traditional arts, he is not superstitious, but continues to explore along the footsteps of his predecessors and wants to verify this path with his own experience.
After Wang Xuan expressed his guess, he made some additional comments.
"Whether any of the deified people can continue to improve and reach a level of strength that we don't understand is unknown. After all, the old art is now in decline and has long since fallen."
Perhaps, the immortals are the embodiment of those legendary strange people and alchemists who have made further progress?
Wang Xuan believes that they are just a few special individuals among humans.
As the years passed, no trace of either myths or immortals remained.
Professor Lin smiled at Wang Xuan and said, "According to your guess, immortals and Buddhas are also human beings, so all the immortals and Buddhas have disappeared."
Wang Xuan nodded: "As long as they are human, their ending is already determined, they have all perished."
Qin Cheng listened attentively and was very interested. Then, he felt it was a pity and said, "If those extremely powerful individuals among ancient humans lived to this era, with the help of high technology and the supernatural power of the new star, could they extend their lives or even achieve immortality as the chaebols desire?"
"Throughout the ages, whether they were wealthy tycoons or powerful people, once they reached a certain level, they all pursued it diligently, and their ambition for immortality has never changed."
Professor Lin was inspired by this because he had personally come into contact with some people who are now promoting these studies and investing a lot of money.
"If you want to study the old techniques, I won't stop you. I have something to give you." Professor Lin stood up and took some papers from the bookshelf.
He was very serious and handed it to Wang Xuan, asking him to keep it.
Qin Cheng suddenly became curious and stretched his neck to take a look.
Professor Lin glanced at him and said, "If you want to learn, I won't stop you, but practicing this kind of thing requires an extremely solid foundation. You have to work hard, otherwise, you may have very serious problems and your life may be damaged."
Professor Lin clearly stated that if one has not yet mastered the art of qi collection, one cannot nourish the body and should not touch this thing.
Qin Cheng's face fell when he heard this.
After hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately understood that this should be some very powerful "root method".
Internal nourishment, qi gathering, meditation, etc. can fundamentally change a person's physique and spirit, and are called the root in ancient techniques.
Although physical skills are brilliant and crucial in actual combat, they need to be based on fundamental techniques.
"I deciphered what was recorded in the pile of bamboo slips in the photo and recorded them on these papers." Professor Lin informed the origin of the root method.
The things recorded on the paper actually came from a large tomb from the pre-Qin period.
Wang Xuan was deeply surprised. This was truly an ancient method that was very old.
During that period, it was not easy for bamboo slips to be preserved.
The bamboo slips had already rotted away before the tombs that were too old were opened.
Even if it has not rotted, the moment it is opened, 90% of the bamboo slips will be destroyed due to the drastic changes in the internal and external environment, not to mention leaving any written records.
Professor Lin said: "Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced. Some of the good things left over from ancient times can be quickly processed and preserved the moment they are unearthed."
Qin Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "Two or three thousand years have passed. Are these records still useful? Are they outdated?"
Professor Lin nodded: "You are right. The times are always moving forward, but the records on this pile of bamboo slips are very valuable. After all, there were some extremely powerful alchemists in that period, and the root methods of the same era would not be too bad."
Moreover, Professor Lin made it clear that this method has been verified, is a good thing, and is even very remarkable.
After listening to it, Wang Xuan put it away solemnly.
Professor Lin added: "After the disbandment of the Old Arts Experimental Class, you will face two problems. One is that you will no longer have medicinal food prepared with rare ingredients, and the other is that you will lack more profound Old Arts scriptures."
Regarding the former, Wang Xuan had already realized that it was a problem, but regarding the latter - the old skills, he had already learned a lot, and they all had great origins, such as unique copies in museums, rare collections of chaebols, etc. Is there anything more amazing than these?
Professor Lin told him that the textbooks of the experimental class were indeed very good and had extraordinary origins, but they were only part of the records in their respective rare secret books, and what he had learned was not complete.
