"Have you really mastered this kind of thing from the old times?" Qin Cheng rushed over, looking at the clear handprints on the thick tree trunk, and was in doubt.
The old times' scattered techniques in the pile of old papers, from physical techniques to meditation, to Qi-gathering techniques, internal cultivation methods, etc., all have very scattered records.
Nowadays, these are called scattered techniques, and many people also call them old techniques.
Although Qin Cheng has been in contact with them over the years, he has always had doubts in his heart. Can he really master them?
Wang Xuan's performance touched him greatly. The flesh and blood palm could actually leave clear handprints on the thick and hard tree trunk. Is there really a way to go for the old techniques? !
"According to the old times, these are nothing." Wang Xuan shook his head. He was very handsome, and under the bright moonlight, he seemed to be attached with a faint white mist.
Qin Cheng sighed: "Don't compare it with the past. I never believed it at all. In fact, many of those records have been falsified long ago."
Qin Cheng is also practicing the old art. He knows how difficult it is. Just some meditation techniques are enough to make people schizophrenic.
In today's world with close ties to the new stars, the technology in deep space is brilliant. How many people still believe in these things? He was shaken before he practiced.
However, it was in this context that when Wang Xuan, Qin Cheng and others first entered university, someone approached them and asked them if they were willing to conduct research related to the old art.
Wang Xuan had been exposed to the scattered art before, and he was immediately interested and agreed on the spot.
As for Qin Cheng, he didn't believe it at all. It was only later that he heard that this research was related to some chaebols and that it was reported that a lot of money was invested. He was surprised and joined in with a try-it attitude.
In the early days, they studied the original professional courses in their own departments while using their spare time to participate in the so-called "old art research."
They found that the so-called research was actually mainly for them to practice by themselves.
And someone began to prepare special food for them, all for the purpose of better practicing certain Sanshu.
They felt more and more that this "research" was not simple. The two old professors who taught them Sanshu were actually transferred from Xinxing.
Soon, some people could not hold on and quit voluntarily, because practicing the old skills was very hard and quite boring.
The most important thing is that in this era, people are skeptical about the skills in the old papers of the old times.
However, although there are many people who quit, there are more new people joining.
Because there is a chaebol behind it, this "research" has invested a lot of money, and began to increase its efforts to select more suitable people to participate.
Not only in this city, but also in various parts of the old land, mainly college students, in order to mobilize enthusiasm, there are considerable salary incentives.
There were a lot of people who signed up at the beginning, but after a large-scale selection, and after more than half a year of elimination, only about fifty people were left.
Most of these people transferred to the university where Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng were, and while continuing their original majors, they formed an "old art experimental class".
Not everyone joined because of interest, like Wang Xuan.
Those who transferred were promised that after graduation, they would at least be guaranteed a decent and well-paid job.
At this point, everyone realized that this "research" was very unusual, otherwise why would they spend so much effort on it?
The "old art textbooks" of the experimental class all have some origins, including museums' rare copies, chaebols' rare collections, and certain religious scriptures.
For example, a certain internal cultivation method was very famous in the old times, but it was eventually lost.
A few years ago, someone found it in a tomb and brought it to light. Now it has been sorted out and has become one of the research materials of the experimental class.
In addition, the meals of all students in the old art experimental class have been prepared by a special person, which is very particular.
As they learned more about it, many people were amazed that some ingredients were extremely precious and rare, and were difficult to obtain in the old land, and were transported from deep space.
The old professor who taught them the art of gathering qi once lamented that these ingredients were extremely expensive even in Xinxing, let alone transported from deep space.
Some ingredients could not be bought even if you had money.
Some of these ingredients were produced in the deep sea of Xinxing and had anti-aging effects, some ingredients could greatly replenish blood and qi, and some ingredients could keep people energetic.
For people who practice various scattered arts, food supplements are very important.
The old professor once said that some ingredients were quite popular with some older people with amazing identities and backgrounds in Xinxing because they could delay aging.
It can be seen how much importance this "old art research" has received.
What is particularly surprising is that not long after, more than 20 new students came to Xinxing to join this experimental class.
It has always been the students of the old land who yearn for Xinxing and hope to study abroad, but this time it was the other way around.
With the arrival of these young men and women, some gossips have been spread, allowing the students of the old art experimental class to gradually understand part of the truth.
"Some organizations, some research institutions, and some chaebols are pursuing immortality!"
At the beginning, this sentence really caused a great shock in the old art experimental class, and many people were shocked.
In the eyes of modern people, that pursuit is ridiculous and illusory.
However, throughout the ages, it seems that all those who have reached the corresponding heights have been pursuing it diligently.
As early as the pre-Qin period, the legends about immortals and alchemists have made later generations yearn for it, and even the kings are not immune.
However, from the Qin Emperor to Han Wu, and then to other later generations, they all failed. Without the elixir of immortality, it is impossible for anyone to succeed.
In this era, the so-called myths have long been falsified. How can they exist?
However, it happened that such news came from the bright new star of science and technology.
"To be precise, some old men in the chaebols, the people in power, want to have a longer life."
Although someone made a supplement, it still caused an uproar in the experimental class at that time.
History is always surprisingly similar. Throughout the dynasties, some big men who have entered their old age seem to be very unwilling, hoping to be young and longing for a vigorous body.
Back then, Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng whispered and had arranged those big men.
"Old men are getting weaker and weaker, so they naturally crave youth. Otherwise, how can they appreciate beauties? They have billions of family assets, but they can no longer squander them. If it were me, I would also like to live another 500 years!"
"Old ladies are definitely more ruthless than old men. Their youth has passed, and their former beauty is now covered with wrinkles. For strong women who control a lot of resources and have a strong voice, aging is definitely the natural enemy! If there is a glimmer of hope, old ladies will definitely be crazier than old men and will try every means to restore their youth!"
At that time, several young men and women from Nova rolled their eyes after hearing the whispers of the two, because it seemed to involve some of their elders.
