Qin Cheng noticed that Professor Lin was looking at the woman in the photo in a daze, as if reminiscing about the past.
Wang Xuan feels that Professor Lin is a man with a story.
He had entered a tomb from the pre-Qin period, inherited the legacy of an alchemist, survived even though two large holes appeared on his chest, and met an extremely beautiful woman who had been a popular star for a long time.
This is just a glimpse of his experience, but it shows that Professor Lin was not an ordinary person in his past.
"Professor, don't be sad. She's just a woman. Let it go." Qin Cheng spoke, destroying the quiet atmosphere.
Professor Lin shook his head: "What are you thinking? I just had some feelings today. Besides, this is pure appreciation, nothing else."
Qin Cheng felt that this sounded familiar. He seemed to have said the words "pure appreciation" not long ago. He immediately thought of Zhao Qinghan.
"I understand you very well!" Qin Cheng said, pretending to have met a close friend.
Wang Xuan said, "The woman in the photo... looks a bit like Zhao Qinghan."
Qin Cheng looked carefully after hearing this and found that they were indeed somewhat similar.
The expression on his face was very interesting, and he finally sighed: "Professor, we have similar understandings of beauty. I think we can become close friends regardless of age difference!"
Professor Lin slapped him directly and told him that the person in the photo was Zhao Qinghan’s grandmother.
Qin Cheng's face fell again when he heard this. This is the goddess' grandmother? !
Wang Xuan immediately understood why he saw Zhao Qinghan at the door before, because the two families had a close relationship. It was because of seeing the old friend that Professor Lin opened the photo album again tonight.
Wang Xuan has realized that Professor Lin might go to see this woman for him, and he doesn't want to disrupt the old man's years of peace of mind.
"Professor Lin, you don't have to worry about my affairs. I have a preliminary idea and should be able to solve the problem."
Professor Lin was surprised. He just lowered his head to look at the photo for a while, and Wang Xuan could guess what he wanted to do. His reaction was so sharp that he was indeed suitable for the path of traditional techniques.
"In ancient times, alchemists fought with ferocious beasts and struggled with the heavens for their lives. Although they were human, they dared to do anything to coexist and shine with the sun and the moon. I have received this inheritance and must follow the path of the old art. If I can't even solve such a small problem, what will I do when I encounter a matter of life and death in the future?"
Wang Xuan is a grateful person. He is mainly worried that Professor Lin will think about the past when he goes to see his old friends, which will destroy the peace and indifference in his heart for many years. After all, there are some things that the old man has let go of long ago and it is not appropriate to uncover them again.
"Okay, go and solve it yourself!" Professor Lin smiled. His own path was blocked, and he really wanted to see a newcomer carry the old path to the end.
That night they mostly talked about old techniques. Wang Xuan was studying the traditions of alchemists from the pre-Qin era on the spot and was quite fascinated.
This is because, in terms of gathering energy, inner nourishment, and meditation, this ancient method is unique and can be described as extraordinary and truly remarkable.
Professor Lin told him that the root method in the experimental class was actually very powerful, but it was not complete enough, so it could not be compared with this pre-Qin secret method.
However, as Wang Xuan studied more, he found it increasingly difficult. The records at the end were very vague. Was this really a feasible method?
For example, the article mentions a certain area, which was barren before it was reached, but then it wrote about black soil, and as for the rest... the records were even more vague.
Wang Xuan was puzzled and asked Professor Lin for advice on the spot.
"After you go back, it's best to read some books related to the old sects, such as Taoism and Buddhism. They have some discussions on the terms and phenomena of the pre-Qin period. If you look back at this method, you will gain something."
Professor Lin explained to him that some of the descriptions should be related to the "Huangting Neijing Tu".
The pre-Qin period is too far away from us, and certain words, phrases, and phenomena can only be understood with the help of later classics.
As Professor Lin continued his explanation, he mentioned Ge Hong’s Baopuzi and Chen Tuan’s Wujitu.
Wang Xuan nodded and took note of it carefully.
Qin Cheng felt a headache listening to this. If he wanted to learn the Taoist tradition, did he have to read the entire Taoist Canon first?
They talked until very late, and Professor Lin told Wang Xuan everything he knew. He had consulted a large number of classics over the years and was able to decipher the inheritance of the alchemists.
Wang Xuan gained a lot, but he felt that it would be necessary to read more books from the old times after returning.
…
In the early morning, Wang Xuan completely changed his Qi-gathering and internal-cultivation techniques, and practiced them according to the Taoist tradition, with great results.
In the morning glow, he was sweating profusely. His metabolism was faster than before, as if some impurities were being excreted from his body, and his body surface was sticky.
He felt better than ever before, feeling light and healthy, full of vitality, in high spirits, and with a very strong power within him.
"I'm going to Nova!" He said in a firm tone. He would work hard to improve his strength in the near future to prepare for going to Nova.
"Wang Xuan!" Someone called him from a distance.
Soon, Zhou Kun came over. He had a handsome face and still had a slightly melancholy temperament. However, after appearing here, he showed a smile that came from the heart.
"You really haven't left the campus yet. You're still practicing the old techniques. You really are a little stuck in them."
At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "Listen to my advice and make preparations early. The old techniques... have been abandoned by the rising stars, and new things have appeared."
Wang Xuan felt warmed when he heard his words. Although he had already figured it out, he was still grateful to Zhou Kun.
"I will move out in two days, but I will stay in this city. My job is basically confirmed, and I will report in five days."
After hearing this, Zhou Kun sighed and said, "I hope everything goes well for you. We can get together again in the future."
Then he told him his intention, saying there was a party in the evening and asked him if he wanted to go.
