Chapter 1455 - 747: The Road to Heaven_2
"For over 40 years, these books have been lying here collecting dust... No one even wanted to look at them. Forget it, once you finish them, you don’t need to return them. Even if you don’t borrow them today, I will sooner or later discard these books. Since no one in the Lin Family has read them, take them as you please." Elder Lin silently handed the books to Qing Shui.
Qing Shui felt that Elder Lin was strange today. Everyone knew Elder Lin as someone who didn’t talk much, preferring to spend his time in silence and solitude. But today, he unexpectedly was in a talkative mood!
Qing Shui accepted Elder Lin’s books, and the more he looked, the more he felt Elder Lin was hiding his true capabilities behind clumsy actions.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lin!" Qing Shui sincerely thanked Elder Lin. Afterwards, Qing Shui realized that besides the three medical books he initially requested, there was a fourth book he hadn’t asked for.
Qing Shui curiously stared at the fourth book, titled "Basic Sword Techniques"!
Originally, Qing Shui wanted to ask Elder Lin, but who would’ve thought Elder Lin initiated the conversation. "After you’ve read these four books, just throw them directly into the trash, no need to bother sending them back."
Since he would be dealing with them, Qing Shui decided he might as well keep them. After all, a title like "Basic Sword Techniques," how profound could the skills inside be? But for him at the moment, he could still learn something from them! After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and all lakes and oceans stem from a single drop of water.
After saying goodbye to Elder Lin, the heavy stone door shut tightly as Qing Shui and Qing Yi left the library.
For a long time, Qing Yi had regarded Elder Lin as family. Despite his elderly and muddled appearance, she knew deep down that Elder Lin viewed the descendants of the Qing Family as his own flesh and blood. Especially Qing Yi, whom Elder Lin had wholeheartedly doted on since childhood. Even now, after so many years, Qing Yi still respected this elder as she respected Qing Luo.
Qing Shui felt a surge of joy in his heart, clinging to that pile of books. In his past life, he was too obsessed with games. Reading books? Visiting the library? No chance! Who would’ve thought, the current Qing Shui, would want to browse the Qing Family’s library to read books of his own volition!
"Humans are truly amazing!" Back at the Qing Palace, he placed the rest of the books on the table and decided to first browse the contents of "Continental Medical Record."
"Ways to explore a healthy lifestyle," "Human organs," "Meridians and energy channels," "Causes of disease occurrence," "Ways to enhance the body during four seasons" are the various Chapters of "Continental Medical Record." Qing Shui continued to browse the content until he finally saw.
"Ways to nourish a person’s life, body, and spirit."
Qing Shui stopped flipping pages because he found this Chapter interesting and therefore decided to delve into understanding the aforementioned themes.
The five emotional states in medical terminology refer to joy, anger, anxiety, worry, and fear.
Any change in emotion, no matter how small, affects the function of internal organs. Everyone has a potential energy source that, if used properly, can make one feel alert and clear-minded; conversely, if negatively impacted, it may cause one to feel depressed and lethargic. In Chinese medicine, this potential energy source is also referred to as the five emotions, but when the five combine, they are called spirit.
The stronger the spirit, the stronger the spiritual power! Everything in nature follows a cycle. The absolute peak is also the absolute bottom.
"Calm emotions, reduce desires, make one’s heart peaceful, know no fear, quiet one’s thoughts, feel no fatigue, ensure smooth and unobstructed spirit Qi, and no matter what desires exist, one can achieve them!" This is the verbal formula for training a person’s spirit!"
Just from this sentence alone, Qing Shui felt he had already gained tremendous benefits, and at the same time, he understood the reason behind "The ocean was originally formed from a single drop of water." If he wanted to lay a solid foundation, then he should truly spend his time thoroughly understanding these basic knowledge.
Qing Shui continued reading the article on the interaction between the five emotions and the function of the internal organs.
"Happiness affects the heart, anger affects the liver, worry affects the lungs, anxiety affects the mind, fear affects the kidneys." These five emotions are closely related to the functions of the human body. Spirit is also crucial. The stronger the spirit, the stronger a person’s spiritual power. Stay calm in the face of danger, handle affairs in a peaceful state. These attributes only appear in humans with strong spirit!
Beside him, when Qing Yi saw Qing Shui immersed in this focused state, happiness blossomed in her heart, but she shook her head helplessly. After all, young people are made of dreams, and Qing Yi didn’t want her son to fall too hard. Had she made a mistake when she decided to lead Qing Shui onto the path of Alchemy?
"Sigh, only when he encounters obstacles that cause him to fall will he know how arduous the road ahead will be." Qing Yi silently said to herself.
Qing Shui continued reading in more detail, as if he had forgotten Qing Yi was still in the room. As he continued with the book, in his intense focus, the noticeable waves of concentration emitted from Qing Shui could be felt. "These 5 emotions only turn into the root of diseases when exhausted. Anger, excessive frustration, and so on, first lead to body degeneration, only then damage spirit!
Besides damaging the spirit, negative emotions such as "anger, anxiety, worry, fear" also adversely affect a person’s Qi.
"Qi!" Qing Shui focused more when encountering this term. He knew Qi could also be called life essence. Vital essence is the source of human energy! In other words, life’s essence is also Qi, and if a person’s Qi is exhausted, they will perish!
Suddenly, Qing Shui turned his head and saw Qing Yi’s bright gaze on him. Reflecting on his previous actions, he felt uncomfortable from being so engrossed in the book that he forgot her presence. He awkwardly smiled.
"Sorry, Mom, this book is so interesting that I got lost in it."
"Dear, don’t worry, I’m happy. After all, the saying goes: ’Only with strong will and persistence can one truly accomplish great things.’ It seems our Rui’er will become a great doctor in the future." She deliberately lowered Qing Shui’s aim in her speech. She didn’t want to see her stubborn child feel devastated at not being able to become an Alchemist. After all, the entire wealth of the Qing Family might not even be enough to cultivate a high-ranking Alchemist.
Qing Shui fully understood the meaning behind Qing Yi’s words. When he was younger, even considering his previous world’s experiences and age, Qing Shui was at most a grown child. His mind and thoughts hadn’t matured. He could only hate heaven for unfairly granting him a weak body, setting such enormous obstacles on the cultivation road. But Qing Shui had learned much from his experiences. Facing his family’s sarcasm, he trained his mind, improved his mental state. His current self actually possessed spirit strength and determination beyond the ordinary!
"Mother, don’t worry about Rui’er, I’ve grown up. Let me be the shield you can rely on in times of sorrow or fatigue; if anyone dares to belittle or bully you, then the halberd will be the weapon to attack your enemies. No matter what you wish for, I’ll definitely achieve it. Let those who doubt me regret it." Qing Yi was deeply moved upon hearing these words, she struggled to control herself, then laughed happily.
How could she not be happy, her son had finally grown up!
"Mother, I’ll leave tomorrow, as promised, I won’t venture too far, I’ll return to the Qing Family before the year’s end. Mother can rest assured, I have enough power to protect myself." Over and over, Qing Shui reassured Qing Yi because he didn’t want Qing Yi to worry about him.
Qing Yi softly sighed, warmth filled her heart. Her most feared matter had finally arrived and couldn’t be delayed any longer. As she recalled the past, she patted Qing Shui. "Sigh... my child has grown up quickly."
"Mother, regardless of what happens in the future, you must be cautious, even if the Qing Sect Family loses all its property, the money we’ve lost can be slowly regained. Please remind Grandpa not to act impulsively, I only hope all of you are safe." Qing Shui seriously reminded Qing Yi, sincerity filled his eyes.
