Vol.1 - Chapter 24 – Pre-Qin bamboo slips

Wu Yin had a beautiful face, and her casual sweater, although slightly loose, could not conceal her towering curves. However, tonight she was not as emotional as she was when her clothes were almost torn last time.

She didn't speak and glanced coldly at Wang Xuan before turning her head to look at the bustling crowd on the bar street, without any emotional fluctuations.

The two women beside her looked at Wang Xuan with some surprise. Wasn't this person afraid of being taught a lesson by the always unruly Zhou Yun? In this age group, youth is the greatest capital. These two women had fair skin and well-proportioned figures, full of youthful vitality.

One of them had short hair, was not afraid of the cold in late autumn, and wore a short skirt, showing off her snow-white legs. The other woman had long hair with a slight "natural curl," and her bright red lips were very sexy. Under the lights on the street, she was quite beautiful and attracted the attention of passersby.

"Wang Xuan, did you eat gunpowder today?" Zhou Ting stood up for her brother, looking at Wang Xuan and her brother warily. She was afraid that her brother would be stimulated and couldn't help rushing over and getting beaten up.

"Hey, aren't you Wang Xuan?" The woman with long hair and a natural curl, with a graceful figure, took a step forward, her charming phoenix eyes looking strange. She came closer and her red lips became even more beautiful. She smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Qingxuan."

"Qingxuan, don't be too much!" Wu Yin spoke up. She knew that Li Qingxuan and Ling Wei had always been at odds. This was clearly to make trouble.

Wang Xuan nodded to her and directly excluded her, Zhou Ting, and Zhou Yun.

There were also two young men standing next to them who were very calm, unlike Zhou Yun, who loved to cause trouble, standing there calmly.

"Wang Xuan, I was very restrained today. Are you trying to provoke me?" Zhou Yun had almost vomited blood just now. Although what the other party said was true, he had been fighting with others recently. Could he be a little more "euphemistic" in public? His heart and chest hurt from being stimulated.

Wang Xuan walked over, very sincere, and said, "Sorry, it's mainly because I met someone tonight who was surrounded by a faint red glow. He was quite overbearing. Anyway... I won't say anymore. I'm not in a good mood tonight. Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Except for Zhou Yun, the other people were calm and peaceful, and it was difficult to see anything from them.

"Heh, you met someone with a red glow on their body? That's really unlucky." Zhou Yun finally laughed, looking like he understood what Wang Xuan had experienced. He must have been defeated by a super practitioner, so he was so angry tonight.

He smiled faintly and directly indulged in various fantasies, feeling much better.

In this situation, he was magnanimous and didn't care about what Wang Xuan had said that touched his sore spot just now. He even kindly "reminded" him.

"Xiao Wang, let me give you some advice. Don't hold onto old techniques and refuse to let go. New techniques are far beyond old techniques. Soon, someone who surpasses the grandmaster level will appear. You are trapped in the old planet and have limited knowledge. It's a pity." Zhou Yun's head was wrapped in white gauze, and his broken arm was in a splint and bandage, but he still had a sense of psychological superiority, even calling Wang Xuan by his nickname.Wang Xuan tried to cooperate as much as possible, sighed, satisfied his psychological needs, and then turned and left, not wanting to listen to him show off anymore.

"Brother, you should still be modest!" Zhou Ting glared at him unkindly. It had only been a few days, and he had been beaten twice. He was really causing trouble and not letting people relax.

Wu Yin watched Wang Xuan's back and said, "This person should be careful, pay attention."

After hearing this, Zhou Yun said, "Wu Yin, it's not that I'm talking about you. People need to be magnanimous. Didn't he do a pathological analysis for you last time? It wasn't intentional."

Wu Yin wanted to rush over and use her high heels to break his fractured arm wrapped in bandages, but was accused of not being magnanimous.

In her opinion, Wang Xuan had just stimulated Zhou Yun and made him feel superior. It was like he was observing and testing something. Finally, he left without a trace.

Wu Yin was angry and decided not to remind Zhou Yun again. She didn't care about him anymore.

"Zhou Yun, what's the deal with Wang Xuan?" Li Qingxuan smiled sweetly, twirled her curly hair with her slender fingers, and raised her phoenix eyes. She was quite stunning and was trying to get information.

"You mean Xiao Wang..." Although Zhou Yun was unruly and liked to stir up trouble, he was not thoughtless. He was intentionally squeezing Wu Yin just now. He was dissatisfied with the strong request of the Wu family to get involved in the matter of Qingcheng Mountain. It was because they were waiting for the Wu family to come and divide the benefits that the Zhou and Ling families did not rush to dig. As a result, something happened in the end.

Li Qingxuan smiled brightly and said, "Then tell me more. My family is preparing to form an exploration team to go to that place and I want to find some skilled people."

Wu Yin felt a headache coming on. She had originally wanted to remind Zhou Yun, but she decided to keep quiet in the end. She didn't care what they did, it had nothing to do with her.

...

After Wang Xuan turned around, he put away his previous expression and became extremely serious. His gaze swept across the bar street like a knife, staring at everyone who passed by.

Many people felt a little frightened after being swept by him. It felt like they had been briefly locked onto by a tiger in the mountains, and they were all suspicious.

That night, Wang Xuan and Qing Mu went to various bars, but they didn't find those people. Obviously, they had already successfully retreated.

"Don't worry, this matter is not over. No matter who did it, we must report this extremely heinous act to the relevant departments of Old Planet," Qing Mu said, and finally told him to rest early and that he would bring him a gun license tomorrow.

"Those people won't appear again in the short term. I will find someone to keep an eye on them!" Qing Mu patted his shoulder and said goodbye.

Although it was late, Wang Xuan still called his parents. After feeling that everything was normal over there, he felt relieved. He knew that these people were mainly targeting him and just wanted to erase his life.After returning to his residence, Wang Xuan took out the Golden Body Technique. His state tonight was very special, and even studying this body technique was different from before. He gained a deeper understanding.

In his room, he continuously stretched his body and began to practice the Golden Body Technique according to the secret book's instructions.

The gun attack tonight had a great impact on Wang Xuan. Even old technique masters appeared fragile under modern technology weapons. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have been shot in the head.

Even now, he still felt chills on his spine.

A strand of hair was missing from his ear, melted by the bullet's friction. The process was incredibly dangerous.

Tonight, he had a deep feeling that life could wither in an instant, and he couldn't effectively protect himself. He needed Qing Mu to help him.

He wanted to become stronger, especially in the Golden Body Technique. He hoped to train a powerful body that could resist cold guns.

If he had even a little success in the Golden Body Technique, he wouldn't have let those people go tonight. As long as he could slightly block the bullets and make them less lethal, he would have the confidence to chase and kill them.

The first level of the Golden Body Technique was not unfamiliar to Wang Xuan. It was similar to the Golden Clothing Technique, and he could easily transition.

Soon, he began to practice the second level of the Golden Body Technique, which theoretically required two years to train.

However, Professor Lin had mentioned that the book had exaggerated the difficulty, and he didn't need to worry about the time issue.

"Body techniques mainly train the body according to special frequencies, such as resonating the five internal organs, accelerating metabolism, and changing the body constitution. The process may trigger the adrenal gland, pineal gland, etc."

Overall, the Golden Body Technique transformed the body and caused a qualitative change in the spirit, so that in the end, it could block bullets.

"Root technique is also about all-round self-improvement. Professor Lin has repeatedly reminded me that the roots of various body techniques must be rooted in the root technique."

After practicing for a while, Wang Xuan stopped and took out the translated text of the pre-Qin bamboo slips, studying it carefully.

Because he had been in a state of super-sensitivity for a long time tonight and had not yet withdrawn, he was particularly sensitive and felt that something might happen.

This was the strong intuition brought by super-sensitivity. After practicing the Golden Body Technique, he began to study the pre-Qin Taoist inheritance that Professor Lin had given him.

Tonight, his state was indeed extraordinary, and he gained a different understanding.

As he contemplated and cultivated himself, he found that everything was different. He seemed to be pulled into a special space, silent and still.

Everything was so sudden!

Wang Xuan was not afraid or panicked. Instead, he calmly observed everything like a person who transcended the world.

A long time passed, and there was still no sound here, absolute silence. But his thoughts were unusually active and sensitive, and his memory was amazing.

In a moment of reflection, the entire Golden Body Technique was imprinted in his mind. He could even recite it backward because he seemed to be able to flip through the secret book from back to front.Then, he tried again, and the translation of the bamboo slips from the Pre-Qin period was the same. He could recite it backwards and even recite a certain paragraph forwards and backwards.

This was no longer just a state of hyper-sensitivity, in his eyes, it was a state of superhuman.

What kind of field was this, and how could he be like this?

Most importantly, this seemed like a sealed space, without any sound, like a desolate universe without stars, extremely cold and silent.

Not understanding his own situation, he searched through the scriptures to find answers, he could recite it backwards and even read it carefully again.

Soon after, he found a passage in the inheritance of the Pre-Qin alchemists, and his intuition in the state of superhuman told him that the answer was in this paragraph.

This paragraph was relatively late in the bamboo slip translation and was not something that Wang Xuan could comprehend until he reached a higher level. But now, his situation was in line with this paragraph.

In this passage, it mentioned emptiness, talked about stillness, and spoke of the empty and clear time, which was quite difficult to understand intermittently.

Professor Lin also did not understand this paragraph, so he had to attach the ancient text from the Pre-Qin period.

On an ordinary day, Wang Xuan would find it difficult to understand its true meaning, but now in his state of superhuman, his brain was exceptionally clear and sensitive, and he gradually understood something.

Soon, some of the later laws and explanations of cultivation in later generations emerged in his mind.

Meditation, the inner landscape of the Yellow Court, the ultimate emptiness, and the steadfastness of stillness... some laws and words from later generations jumped out, helping him gradually understand the true meaning of this Pre-Qin scripture.

In the field of meditation, there is an achievement that can be considered the ultimate, even the so-called masters find it difficult to reach, and it is difficult to gain anything in a lifetime of pursuit.

The ultimate meditation, sometimes called the highest meditation, is when a person enters this field and can stay in their own world of emptiness for several years, or even many years, while in the outside world, only a few minutes have passed.

Now, if explained by meditation, Wang Xuan was in a state of ultimate meditation.

And if explained by the Yellow Court Scripture, it was that he had entered a special inner landscape of the Yellow Court.

The Tao Te Ching also mentioned: "To attain ultimate emptiness, steadfastness is necessary."

Obviously, this was a cryptic language that described a special state of those who followed the path of the old arts - emptiness and stillness, and also revealed the situation in the inner landscape.

Whether explained by meditation or by the Yellow Court Daoism, it highlighted the mystery of this state, which outsiders found difficult to understand.

Wang Xuan looked back and saw that the description of the highest level of meditation and the inner landscape of the Yellow Court, were actually just... a certain state of the Pre-Qin alchemists' root method.

Even in a state of superhuman, Wang Xuan was still stunned, quite surprised that the highest meditation and the inner landscape of the Yellow Court were just correct practice methods from the bamboo slips of the Pre-Qin period?!

He was very shocked. If he understood correctly, he had plenty of time now?

If explained by meditation, then in this special world of emptiness, he could stay for several years.

And if we understand it from the perspective of Taoism, he entered the interior land and was in a state of empty and bright time, able to stay for a long time.

Wang Xuan was not excited or overly thrilled, but maintained a calm and detached state. He decided to give it a try.

Then, he began to practice the Golden Body Technique here!
