Chapter 749 Chinese Studies, Philosophy and Science

After arriving at the training room, Huo Ling'er saw the spears and swords placed in the room, as well as the large lead and mercury balls in the stone trough, and she knew that she had not mistaken the person in front of her, and that the person was definitely a master.

Afterwards, Huo Ling'er stood still, clasped her fists, and bowed again: "Master Lu Cheng, please!"

Then, Huo Ling'er protected herself with one fist and slashed at Lu Cheng with the other. When she threw the fist, the air exploded. It was obvious that she had trained all her strength and reached the level of Ming Jin.

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry. He raised his hand, stretched out two fingers, and firmly grasped Huo Ling'er's wrist.

Huo Ling'er tried desperately to break free, but she felt as if her wrist was firmly clamped by a large pair of pliers and she could not move.

Then, Huo Ling'er knelt down and said, "Master Lu, please accept me as your disciple."

Lu Cheng waved his hand and said, "We have only met twice, so we are not very familiar with each other. It is too early to talk about taking a disciple. We martial artists value rules the most, and the relationship between master and disciple is no less than that between father and son. Even if you really want to become a disciple, you must ask someone to witness it, perform a grand ceremony, and offer tea for the disciple to be considered a true disciple."

"So complicated? Then I'll go back and tell my parents. I'll follow the master's instructions."

"I said that I would not accept a disciple easily. However, considering that you are from the Huo family, and the Huo family has made contributions to the country, I will give you some pointers so that you can understand the key points. Then I will consider whether to accept you as a disciple."

"Master Lu, please give me some advice."

"I see that the joints of your legs and arms are thick and your skin is rough. It is obvious that you only know external skills and do not understand internal strength. You only know how to practice but not how to nourish. The most important thing about internal martial arts is nourishment. The key to internal martial arts is to build up the skin and fur. After practicing internal skills to a certain level, the old skin on the surface of the skin will fall off and the density of the bones will become stronger.

When he is still, his skin is as soft as a baby's. When he moves, the hair all over his body stands up..."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng stretched out his arm, revealing his smooth and delicate skin. Then his mind moved, and with a burst of strength, the hairs on his arm stood up, and the surface of his skin became as hard as steel.

"So how can we achieve this?"

"If you want to establish your skin and fur, you must first establish your Dantian and tailbone. The classics of various schools and sects all explain this in a very obscure way. The Taoists even invented many terms, such as sinking the Qi into the Dantian and moving water and fire. In fact, this principle is the simplest to explain, but it is a bit vulgar and inconvenient to record in words. It is even passed down to men but not women."

Huo Ling'er became even more curious when she heard this: "Master Lu, what exactly is going on?"

"To put it simply, you can learn from urination and defecation. When people urinate, they tend to shiver, and their hair stands up. Similarly, when defecating, the anus pulls the coccyx, and the hair on the body stands up... Although these words may sound vulgar, they are the most simple truths. If you can concentrate on practicing, you will definitely gain something."

Huo Ling'er blushed when she heard this, and then she suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder when I asked those boxers, they refused to tell me and were a little vague about it."

"Okay, I have already passed on the most important sutra to you. Whether you can comprehend it or not depends on yourself. If you don't gain anything within half a year, don't come to me."

"Thank you Master Lu for your guidance! I will definitely practice hard."

After sending Huo Ling'er away, Lu Cheng's life returned to normal.

Another reason why Lu Cheng was willing to give guidance to Huo Ling'er was because of the Huo family behind him.

If it was any other rich family's kid, Lu Cheng might not necessarily look down on him.

To be honest, Lu Cheng himself was once the biggest wealthy family, richer than anyone else in the world.

Therefore, in Lu Cheng's eyes, those children from wealthy families are no different from ordinary young people.

It is worth mentioning that during the summer vacation of Lu Cheng’s freshman year, Cao Jingjing and Wang Chao also took the college entrance examination.

Cao Jingjing performed well and was successfully admitted to Yanjing University.

As for Wang Chao, his grades were so bad that he couldn’t even get into junior college.

Originally, Wang Chao was going to go out to work, but his parents didn't want him to suffer too early because he was their only son, so they pooled some money and sent him to a certain company to learn how to operate an excavator.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Lu Cheng. He and Wang Chao just lived in the same neighborhood.

After the start of his sophomore year, Lu Cheng's achievements have been recognized by school leaders and teachers, and he has begun to work on some experimental projects related to life sciences with the school's professors.

Lu Cheng was originally a medical saint, and also a top biologist and botanist. Now he chose the course of life science because he wanted to explore the development, genetics, and evolution of life from a broader macroscopic field, so as to draw inferences from one instance to another and explore the mysteries of life more deeply.

Moreover, Lu Cheng also studied Chinese studies and philosophy.

In fact, Chinese studies and philosophy can also play an extremely important role in the study of biology and medicine.

For example, decades ago, the scientific community believed that protons, neutrons, and electrons were the smallest particles and could not be further divided. However, a great philosopher proposed that under the philosophy of unity of opposites, protons, neutrons, electrons, and even smaller substances should also be divisible, and can be divided into two, and the unity of opposites can be infinite.

It turns out that smaller substances were indeed discovered later. The Chinese named them strata, and the American scientific community named them quarks. However, some scientists believe that they should be named "hairy particles."

After in-depth research on Chinese studies and philosophy and reading a large number of books by ancient sages, Lu Cheng has more guesses and understandings about natural sciences such as medicine and biology, and has also benefited a lot in the process of exploring life sciences.

These things further deepened Lu Cheng's thinking and understanding of himself. Applying some philosophical ideas to cultivation actually accelerated the speed of strengthening his body.

Knowledge is power, this sentence is not just empty words.

During this period, Lu Cheng's thousands of years of life experience have gradually transformed into insights and the power of thinking.

I have to say that every step taken in life is not in vain.

In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed, and Lu Cheng had been in this world for two years.

At this time, the blood and marrow in Lu Cheng's body had already undergone a complete transformation. Even his original teeth had gradually fallen off, and new teeth had grown quickly. He also had two more pairs of teeth than before, increasing his total number of teeth from 32 to 36.

As reflected on the system panel, Lu Cheng's physique changed again: 36+3.6.

Lu Cheng had a premonition that when his teeth fell out again, he would grow 40 teeth and reach his true peak state...
