Regarding New Star, there should be mysterious phenomena and supernatural powers, but Wang Xuan and Qing Cheng have limited knowledge of it.
The main issue is the asymmetry of information, as they live on Old Planet and have difficulty obtaining the latest secrets.
As for immortals, they seem even more elusive.
Wang Xuan believes that a long time ago, there was a group of people who practiced Qi-gong, meditation, and other techniques to achieve superhuman powers.
His speculation is supported by some ancient texts.
In the past, if an extraordinary person with the ability to lift a tiger with one arm appeared in the mountains and forests, they would be revered and worshipped by the ancestors.
However, as time passed, the stories that were passed down may have become distorted and gradually turned into myths.
Of course, it is not impossible for some individuals in ancient times to have achieved extreme levels of meditation and self-cultivation, and thus obtained incredible powers.
For example, there are a few rare cases recorded in ancient books, where a sorcerer had an extremely strong body and mind, and could throw an elephant with one hand.
Wang Xuan believes that if one can master the old techniques to the fullest, it is possible to achieve such a level.
When an individual's power reaches such a level, it means something different in ancient times, namely, the embodiment of myth.
Wang Xuan believes that there were never immortals or Buddhas, only a group of people who were once very powerful.
Therefore, in the field of old techniques, he is not superstitious, but constantly exploring along the footsteps of his predecessors, and he wants to verify this path with his own abilities.
After sharing his speculation, Wang Xuan made some additional remarks.
"Whether the deified people continue to improve and reach a level of power that we do not understand, we do not know. After all, old techniques are declining and have long been in decline."
Perhaps immortals are just the manifestation of those legendary extraordinary people and sorcerers who have made progress?
Wang Xuan believes that they are simply special individuals among humans.
After a long period of time, whether it is mythology or immortals, there is no trace left.
Professor Lin smiled at Wang Xuan and said, "According to your speculation, immortals and Buddhas are also human, so immortals and all the Buddhas have disappeared."
Wang Xuan nodded, "As long as they are human, their fate has already been determined, and they have all disappeared."
Qing Cheng was fascinated by what he heard and was very interested. He then felt it was a pity and said, "If those extremely powerful individuals from ancient times were still alive today and could use high technology to access the supernatural powers that exist on New Star, would they be able to extend their lives or even achieve immortality, as the wealthy and powerful have always dreamed of?"

"Throughout the ages, whether it is the wealthy or the powerful, once they reach a certain level, they have been tirelessly pursuing the ambition of immortality."
Professor Lin spoke from the heart, as he had personally met some people who are now investing a lot of money in these studies.
"If you want to study old techniques, I won't stop you. I have something here that I can give you." Professor Lin got up and took some papers from the bookshelf.
He was very serious and handed them to Wang Xuan to keep.
Qing Cheng immediately became curious and craned 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 encounter very serious problems and damage your life."
Professor Lin made it clear that without Qi collection, it is impossible to nourish oneself internally and one cannot touch this thing.
Qing Cheng's face immediately fell upon hearing this.
After hearing this, Wang Xuan immediately understood that this should be some kind of very powerful "root technique."
Internal nourishment, Qi collection, meditation, etc., can fundamentally change a person's physical and mental state, and are called the roots in the old techniques.
Although martial arts and other techniques are brilliant and crucial in practical combat, they still need to rely on root techniques.
"The things recorded in those bamboo slips in the photo were deciphered by me and recorded on these papers." Professor Lin explained the origin of the root technique.
The things recorded on the paper actually came from the ancient tombs of the pre-Qin period.
Wang Xuan was deeply shocked. This was truly an ancient technique, and the age was too old.
During that period, it was particularly difficult to preserve bamboo slips, especially those from tombs that were too ancient.
Even if they did not rot, at the moment of opening, due to drastic changes in the internal and external environment, ninety percent of the bamboo slips would be destroyed, let alone leaving written records.
"Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced, and some good things left by ancient times can be quickly processed and preserved when unearthed." Professor Lin said.
Qing Cheng thought for a moment and asked, "It has been two or three thousand years. Are these records still useful or outdated?"
Professor Lin nodded, "You have a point. The times are always advancing, but the value of the records on these bamboo slips is still high. After all, some extremely powerful Taoists appeared during that period, and the root techniques of the same era would not be too bad."
Moreover, Professor Lin made it clear that this technique had been verified and was a good thing, even a very remarkable one.
After listening, Wang Xuan solemnly put it away.
Professor Lin also said, "After the old technique experimental class was disbanded, you will face two problems. One is the lack of rare ingredients for medicinal cuisine, and the other is the lack of more advanced old technique scriptures."
As for the former, Chu Feng had already realized that it was a problem, but as for the latter - the old technique, he had already learned a lot, and they were all very prestigious, such as the museum's unique copy and the rare collection of the wealthy, were there even more amazing things than these?
Professor Lin told him that the teaching materials of the experimental class were indeed very good and had extraordinary origins, but they were only a part of the records in each rare and secret book. What he learned was not complete.
Even Professor Lin did not have the opportunity to see those subsequent chapters.
"Because those things are very precious, they only showed the front part of the root technique to you all. If someone really practices all of it, then naturally someone will come to bring the subsequent techniques."
But unfortunately, the experimental class was disbanded, and the old technique research project was abandoned, so there were no subsequent root techniques.
Qing Cheng laughed, "This bamboo slip-recorded root technique solves one of Wang Xuan's problems. If one day he becomes a powerful Taoist in modern times, that would be interesting and worth looking forward to.""If you really master it, perhaps it will solve another problem for you, and you won't need rare ingredients and medicinal food to practice." Professor Lin's words surprised Wang Xuan. What does this mean? The root techniques recorded on the bamboo slips are extremely mysterious and amazing!
"Is it that powerful?" Qing Cheng was amazed.
"Of course, the things left by those Taoists are not simple. During that period, the old techniques were quite brilliant, and the pursuit of longevity medicine was also related to the Taoists. Professor Lin revealed that at a certain period, the New Star's financial oligarchs spent a lot of manpower and money to search for ancient tombs on the old planet, hoping to excavate things related to the Taoists. Nowadays, many tombs under the old planet have been searched, and there are few fish that slip through the net."
"So, even if you want to take the old technique route, you have to go to the new planet, because many precious classics, secret methods, and rare scriptures from the past are no longer on the old planet." Qing Cheng grumbled dissatisfiedly, "Do some people in the financial oligarchs have some kind of special collection addiction? What's the use of so many old techniques for them?"
"Of course, they are useful. After verification, some life research institutes have analyzed and applied the old techniques, and developed some modern achievements with targeted effects in the biological field, which can delay the aging of some old guys." Professor Lin revealed many secrets.
In fact, many good things were dug out from the ancient tombs, such as someone who had dug out a golden bamboo slip, which was a special kind of bamboo that had not rotted after many years and was still as hard as iron. However, this kind of plant had long been extinct on the old planet, and they didn't even know about its existence before it was dug out. It can be imagined that the things recorded on such bamboo slips are extraordinary and must be very remarkable. However, it is a pity that after those organizations, research institutes, and financial oligarchs obtained these things, they kept them secret and outsiders could hardly see them again.
At a certain period, those financial oligarchs and various organizations spent huge amounts of money and searched for these things on the old planet all year round. Professor Lin unbuttoned his shirt and revealed the old wounds on his body. There were two fist-sized scars near his heart, and it looked very scary. "Back then, for the bamboo slip in the picture, I was repeatedly injured, all of which were fatal wounds. One was punched through by someone, and the other was shot through by modern weapons."
It was also because of this that Professor Lin, who was once a master of the old technique, could no longer fight in real combat, and it was a miracle that he could survive afterwards. It can be seen how fierce the competition was among the major organizations and financial oligarchs for these things.
Seeing Wang Xuan now, Professor Lin seemed to see his young self who had a strong exploration heart for the old technique, but unfortunately, his own path had long been cut off. Wang Xuan comforted him, saying that there might be new types of medicines in the future that could solve Professor Lin's physical problems.
"I'm already at this age, and I've let go of what I should let go of a long time ago." Professor Lin shook his head. Qing Cheng said, "So, even if Wang Xuan wants to take the old technique route, he needs to go to the new planet, because all the good things have been searched away by people over there."Professor Lin was very serious: "Not only that, the discovery over there may have far-reaching effects, and may even trigger some changes in the future."
"Everything I said is my own speculation, not information obtained from research institutes or certain organizations, so there is no need for confidentiality."
The mysterious phenomena and supernatural powers transmitted from the new planet are related to certain items.
Moreover, there have been traces of these rumors and news for decades, but it was not until recent years that some true situations gradually leaked out.
There have been breakthroughs in those secrets.
Otherwise, the old art project here would not have been abandoned.
"So, opportunities are rare. Since the new planet seems to have found another path, the precious bamboo slips and various root methods collected by the financial conglomerates may be circulated and no longer valued, making it easier to obtain than in the past!"
After hearing this, Wang Xuan was excited. He really wanted to go to the new planet, more than ever before.
Until now, Qing Cheng was still unhappy: "What kind of path did the new planet find to abandon the old art and us? It's like throwing away old shoes and abandoning us mercilessly."
"It's probably not just one path." Professor Lin talked about his feelings.
In recent decades, some rare new species have appeared on the new planet, such as a small tree called "Anshen", which is pure white and emits a refreshing fragrance from its leaves, which can nourish the mind and have anti-aging effects when eaten a few leaves every day.
It is said that this expensive little tree was discovered in the wilderness during the development of the new planet.
There are also other plants, herbs, and special small creatures.
Professor Lin was a master of the old art. In his early years, he had traveled alone through the mountains and rivers of the new planet and had not discovered those species.
"I suspect that they have not only found one path, but may have discovered a living planet, perhaps involving transcendence."
This is undoubtedly amazing. It seems that the new planet has long discovered and explored such a place, but has kept it secret from the general public for many years.
Professor Lin added: "In the past few years, they have made progress after encountering troubles, but I think it is not yet realistic for them to immediately obtain supernatural powers no matter what they discover."
One thing Professor Lin emphasized was that if a new world is really established, the herbs, various resources, and transcendental items there will definitely be of great help to the old art.
He looked at the woman in the photo and hesitated whether to go and see this old friend and fight for a spot for Wang Xuan.
