Ancient Strengthening Techniques: Chapter 26 - Continental Medical History
After returning to her home in Qing Mansion, Qing Shui put the rest of the books on the table, and decided to browse the contents of << Continental Medical Annal >> first.
“Exploring ways to Healthy Lifestyle”, “Organ in Human Body”, “Meridian and Energy Channel”, “Reason how Disease Happens”, “How to Strengthen your body for 4 Seasons” are all chapters in << Continental Medical History >>. Qing Shui continued to browse through the contents until he finally saw ..
"The method to nurture one's vitality, Body and Soul as one".
Qing Shui stopped turning the pages when he found this chapter interesting and hence, decided to focus deeply on the topic above.
5 Emotions in medical terminology refer to excitement, anger, anxiety, worry and fear.
Any change in emotions, no matter how small, will affect the function of internal organs. Within each individual, there is a source of latent energy that, when used correctly, can make a person feel awake and clear-minded, conversely, if affected negatively will result in someone becoming desperate and lethargic. This source of latent energy, in Chinese medicine is also known as 5 emotions, but alternatively, when the 5 emotions are mixed, they are known by another name - spirit.
The stronger one's spirit, the stronger his mental strength was! Everything in nature follows a cycle; the absolute peak is also the absolute basis.
Calm Your emotions leading to less desire, calm Your heart and know the courage, calm Your mind and do not know fatigue, achieve a smoother flow of Spiritual Qi, no matter what wish one held, one would be able to fulfill it! "This is an oracular formula for training one's spirit!"
Just from this sentence, Qing Shui already felt that he had obtained tremendous benefits, at the same time, he also understood the reason behind “sea was originally formed from one drop of air”. If he wanted to build a strong foundation, he would have to completely spend his time to fully grasp this basic knowledge.
Qing Shui continued reading about the interaction between the 5 emotions and the function of the internal organs.
"Happiness affects the heart, Anger affects the heart, Worry affects the lungs, Anxiety affects the mind, and Fear affects the kidneys." These five emotions have a close relationship with the function of the human body. Spirit, too, is the most important. The stronger the spirit, the stronger the mental strength one possessed. Stay calm when facing danger, handle affairs in a state of calm. This attribute would only appear on humans with powerful souls!
On the side, when Qing Yi saw that Qing Shui was immersed in that concentration, happiness flourished in her heart, but she shook her head helplessly. After all, the young one made a dream, Qing Yi did not want her son to fall too hard. Was he wrong when he decided to introduce Qing Shui to the Alchemy Path?
“Sigh, only after he met some obstacles that caused him to stumble, will he know how difficult the road ahead is.” Qing Yi silently said to herself.
In addition to damaging the soul, the negative emotions of "Anger, Anxiety, Worry, Fear" would also affect one's Yuan Qi.
Yuan Qi! Qing Shui increased his concentration as he came across this term. He understood that Yuan Qi could also be known as Vital Essence. Vital Essence is a source of energy for humans! In other words, Vital Essence was also Yuan Qi, if one's Yuan Qi was depleted, one would lose his life!
Suddenly, Qing Shui tilted his head and saw Qing Yi's loving gaze staring at him, and when he thought of his previous actions, was too engrossed in reading books to forget his whereabouts, and, Qing Shui was agitated as he grinned awkwardly.
“Sorry mom, this book is too interesting to the point that I lost myself in the middle of concentration.”
“Don't worry dear, I'm very happy. After all, the saying goes: "only with great will and obsession will one be able to truly achieve great things." Looks like our Shui`er will be a great doctor in the future ”Qing Yi smiled warmly. In his speech, he deliberately lowered the target for Qing Shui. He did not want to see this stubborn child feel depressed for not being able to become an alchemist. After all, the entire Qing Clan's wealth might not even be enough to cultivate a general level alchemist.
Qing Shui understood the meaning behind Qing Yi's expression perfectly. In the past when she was young, even when calculating her experience and age from the previous world, at most Qing Shui could only be considered a half-grown child. His mind and mentality were immature. He could only hate the heavens for being unjust, giving him a weak constitution, and placing such a huge hurdle on his way to cultivation. However, Qing Shui had now learned a lot from his experience. Competing with the scorn of his family members, calms his heart and improves his state of mind. Right now he actually possessed mental strength and determination that was far beyond the norm!
“Mother, no need to worry about Shui`er, I'm an adult. Let me be a shield for you to rely on when you are sad or tired, and a spear to attack your enemies if anyone dares to belittle or bully you. No matter what you want, I will definitely achieve it. Woe to those who doubt me. " Qing Yi was deeply moved when she heard those words, she struggled to contain herself before bursting into laughter.
How could he be unhappy, his son had finally grown up!
“Mother, I will leave tomorrow, and as promised, I will not go too far and will return to the Qing Clan before the year is over. You can be sure that you have enough strength to protect yourself. " Qing Shui assured Qing Yi again and again, because he did not want Qing Yi to worry about him.
Qing Yi felt a warmth in her heart as she sighed softly. The thing he feared the most had finally come, and could not be delayed any longer. He patted Qing Shui on his head as he lost himself in the memories of the past. “Sigh.. how fast my son grows.”
'' Mother, you must be careful as well alright, regardless of what will happen in the future, even if the Qing Clan loses its entire fortune, he said, the money we lost was slowly recovered. Please remind grandfather not to be impulsive, I just want you all to be safe. ” Qing Shui seriously reminded Qing Yi, with sincerity visible in her eyes.
Tears streamed down his face as Qing Yi sobbed silently. Qing Shui understood that he subconsciously remembered the man .. the man who was his father, the man who had abandoned them! Seeing the sad and helpless expression on her face, Qing Shui gritted his teeth and silently swore. "I must seek redress sooner or later, and quickly gain the strength to fulfill the desire in the heart of mother."
From the ravings of Qing Yi that slipped when she was a baby, Qing Shui knew that her father might be from a very powerful clan. After all, he knew that even if he could increase his strength, unless he made a breakthrough to the Xiantian realm, it would still be difficult for him alone to fight against an ancient clan that had existed for over a thousand years.
