Vol.1 - Chapter 8 – Party

Qin Cheng noticed that Professor Lin was looking at the woman in the photo with a nostalgic expression.

Wang Xuan felt that Professor Lin was a person with a story. He had entered the pre-Qin tomb, received the inheritance of the alchemist, and survived two large holes in his chest. He had even met a beautiful woman who once became famous on New Planet. This was only a small part of his experience, which showed that Professor Lin was not simple in his youth.

"Professor, don't be sad. It's just a woman. Let it go." Qin Cheng broke the quiet atmosphere.

Professor Lin shook his head, "You're thinking too much. Today, I just feel emotional. Besides, I'm just admiring her beauty, nothing else."

Qin Cheng found this familiar. He had recently said the same words about pure appreciation. He immediately thought of Zhao Qinghan.

"I understand you very well!" Qin Cheng said, pretending to have found a kindred spirit.

Wang Xuan spoke up, "The woman in the photo... looks a bit like Zhao Qinghan."

Qin Cheng looked closely and found some similarities. His expression suddenly became very interesting, and he sighed, "Professor, our understanding of beauty is similar. I think we can become friends despite the age difference!"

Professor Lin gave him a slap and told him that the person in the photo was Zhao Qinghan's grandmother.

Qin Cheng's face fell when he heard this. This was the grandmother of his goddess?!

Wang Xuan suddenly understood why he had seen Zhao Qinghan at the door earlier. It was because there was some connection between their families. It was because Professor Lin had seen an old friend that he had opened this album again tonight.

Wang Xuan realized that Professor Lin might go to see this woman for his sake, but he didn't want the old man to break the peace in his heart after all these years.

"Professor Lin, you don't have to worry about my affairs. I have a preliminary idea and should be able to solve the problem myself."

Professor Lin was surprised. He had only looked at the photo for a while, but Wang Xuan could guess what he wanted to do. He was indeed suitable for the path of ancient arts, where alchemists fought against fierce beasts and challenged the heavens, daring to coexist with the sun and moon despite being human. If he couldn't even solve this small problem, how could he handle life and death matters in the future?

Wang Xuan was a grateful person. He was mainly worried that Professor Lin would go to see his old friend and think about the past, destroying the peace and indifference that he had cultivated for many years. After all, some things should be left in the past, and it was not appropriate to uncover them again. "Okay, you go solve it yourself!" Professor Lin smiled. His own path had ended, and he wanted to see a successor take the path of ancient arts to the end.That night, they mostly talked about the old techniques. Wang Xuan was reading the ancient sorcerer inheritance from the Pre-Qin Dynasty, which fascinated him.

Because in the areas of Qi Collection, Internal Nurturing, and Meditation, this old technique had unique features that were extraordinary and remarkable.

Professor Lin told him that the root techniques in the experimental class were also strong, but not complete enough, so they were not comparable to this Pre-Qin secret technique.

However, as Wang Xuan continued to read, he found it increasingly difficult. The later records were very vague. Could the feasible root techniques really be used?

For example, the text mentioned a certain field that was barren before, and then wrote about black soil later. As for the later part... the record was even more elusive.

Wang Xuan was puzzled and asked Professor Lin on the spot.

"After you go back, it's best to read some books related to the ancient sects, such as Daoism and Buddhism. They have some discussions on the terms and phenomena of that period in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. After that, you can come back and read this technique again for better understanding."

Professor Lin explained to him that some of the descriptions should be related to the "Inner Landscape of the Yellow Court."

The Pre-Qin Dynasty was too far away from now, and some words and phenomena needed to be understood with the help of some later classics.

As Professor Lin explained, he also mentioned Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" and Chen Tuan's "Wuji Diagram."

Wang Xuan nodded and took it to heart.

Qing Cheng listened beside him, feeling overwhelmed. Did he have to read through the Daoist Canon before learning the sorcerer's inheritance?

They talked late into the night, and Professor Lin told Wang Xuan everything he knew. After so many years of consulting numerous books, he finally deciphered the inheritance of the sorcerers.

Wang Xuan gained a lot, but he felt that it was still necessary to read more books from the ancient times when he went back.

...

In the morning, Wang Xuan completely changed his Qi Collection and Internal Nurturing techniques and practiced according to the sorcerer's inheritance, resulting in great gains.

In the morning glow, he sweated profusely, and his metabolism was faster than before, as if he had expelled some impurities from his body, making his skin sticky.

He felt better than ever before, light and energetic, full of vitality, with a strong power in his body.

"I want to go to New Planet!" he said firmly, planning to work hard to improve his strength and prepare for the trip to New Planet.

"Wang Xuan!" someone shouted from afar.

Soon, Zhou Kun walked over, with a clear and handsome face, still with a slightly melancholy temperament. But after appearing here, he showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"You haven't left the campus yet. You're still practicing the old techniques. You're really trapped in it."Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "Listen to my advice, be prepared early, the old arts... have been abandoned by the New Planet side, new things have appeared."

Hearing his words, Wang Xuan felt a warmth in his heart. Although he had already deduced it earlier, he still thanked Zhou Kun.

"I'm moving out in two days, but I'm still staying in this city. My job is basically confirmed. I'll go for registration in five days."

After hearing this, Zhou Kun sighed: "I hope everything goes well for you, and we can meet again in the future."

Then he expressed his intention. There will be a party tonight and he asked if Wang Xuan wanted to go.

The selected people will leave Old Planet and go to New Planet in four days. They are preparing for a gathering because after arriving at New Planet, they will all have their own destinations and they will have to part ways.

Zhou Kun said, "Don't worry, it's just a simple gathering. The four years of friendship in the same class will never have any problems. The main purpose is to commemorate the end of our most innocent and beautiful four years of life. From now on, we will enter the big dyeing vat of society and accept various beatings and erosion."

Wang Xuan didn't speak. He didn't care whether there would be any problems. He was just thinking about whether he would cause trouble for others.

"Go, there's someone you want to see the most." Zhou Kun said. He was willing to chat with Wang Xuan and have a good drink in the end.

Wang Xuan was speechless. It seemed that he had misunderstood. There was no one he wanted to see the most. He just didn't want to cause any trouble.

"There are some students who were not selected in the experimental class and some who have not left, they are still in this city." Wang Xuan told him.

Zhou Kun said, "I will inform them all, but some people are looking at you and want to know if you will go or not."

Although the students who were selected to go to New Planet and those who stayed in Old Planet were familiar with each other and had good relationships with many people, such a gathering still seemed strange.

"Okay, I'll go." Wang Xuan nodded.

As soon as Zhou Kun left, Qing Cheng called: "Old Wang, they are having a party. They asked me to go too. I'm really conflicted. I'm not going to New Planet, I'm just going to the New Moon. Are you going?"

Wang Xuan first corrected his name and then said, "You stand on the moon above their heads, overlooking them every day. What else is there to be conflicted about? Come and pick me up in the evening, let's go together."

Qing Cheng immediately shouted happily, "Okay, I'm just waiting for you to say that. I was actually afraid you wouldn't go!"
