“What’s this?”
“I don’t understand. It looks like a random drawing, but look at the emphasis on the ink. It’s very regular. It’s obvious that it’s not random.”
“It’s not a word or a painting. What the hell does that mean? Why does it sound like a secret code?”
Everyone discussed animatedly. They were surprised, but they really could not guess the profundity. The first few sentences were fine. They were all words similar to four idioms. Although they did not understand the true meaning, they could understand the literal meaning at a glance. But it was neither calligraphy nor painting this time, so it immediately stumped everyone.
This made Professor Lü recall the first time he met Su Yun. The first time he came into contact with Su Yun, he felt that Su Yun’s speech was a little strange. But now, it seems to be compatible with the terms written by Su Yun in his chaotic state.
What the hell was going on?
Soon, Professor Lü voiced his doubts.
“When I first met Su Yun, he was also reading this book in the library. As the ancient books on this bookshelf were basically donated by me, I was rather curious and chatted with Su Yun. However, I learned that he was researching cultivation. He bluntly said that the records in the books were not the imagination of the ancients.
“l only thought that it was a child’s words that carried no harm. After a few interactions, I also advised him not to waste his experience on this. I never expected Su Yun to have been studying this matter. Furthermore, he was so persistent. Even when he was sick, he still remembered it. From the looks of it, it has already become his obsession.” With a sigh, Professor Lü looked at Su Yun with a complicated gaze. This feeling made him feel as though he was obsessed with research and had gone berserk.
“Then can you tell what he wrote?”
Upon hearing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s question, Professor Lü thought for a moment and replied, “The terms Su Yun Wff0te seem to be similar cultivation concepts recorded in ancient books. It might also be a division of some fabricated cultivation system. However, this is only a guess of mine. To confirm this guess, I have to find the corresponding words in the ancient books.”
This made Zhou Nanhai and the others even more confused. They frowned and discussed in low voices.
“Could it be that Su Yun has been studying ancient literature?”
“It’s very possible. Could it be that the library is also a place for him to cultivate? However, he didn’t train here. Instead, he has obtained some inspiration here?”
“Inspiration? Or something?”
Zhou Nanhai frowned. After a moment, he muttered, “Professor Lü, is Su Yun really cultivating, or is this just hysteria caused by his obsession? All along the way, he seemed to have gained enlightenment from his travels and has always been walking the path he once walked. Is it a method to save himself, or is it an unintentional journey?”
Even Zhou Nanhai himself was shocked by this bold guess. Practically everyone treated things related to cultivation as a kind of fabrication and obsession of the ancient people. It was just like how ancient emperors wanted to become immortals and live forever. It was nothing more than a similar obsession. It was impossible to achieve. Therefore, no one would really think that the cultivation method was real.
But now, Su Yun’s various performances have shaken everyone. They had even speculated about it. However, Professor Lü sighed deeply and shook his head. “When has there ever been anything related to cultivation in the world? I’ve searched for ancient books, but I’ve never seen an ancient person successfully cultivate.
“It has been more than 5,000 years since ancient times. In its long history, there have been many capable people and countless heroes. How many sages and ancients had there been? But have you ever seen any ancient people succeed? Kong Sheng, Laozi, Shakyamuni, Zhang Daoling… Too many ancient people had pursued this, but in the end, it was just a pile of historical dust.
“There were also emperors who dreamed of longevity, but even if they controlled the world, they could not achieve such a dream. So, do you think that cultivation might be real? If it was true, why hadn’t we seen it in ancient times?
“In my opinion, Su Yun was just suffering from hysteria. The picture he drew was nothing more than a hallucination caused by hysteria, but perhaps there’s a reason why Su Yun is so deeply involved.” As Professor Lü spoke, he looked at the picture carefully. Subtly, he memorized the picture.
Hearing Professor Lü’s words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh. They felt that the professor’s words made sense. If there was really cultivation, why couldn’t it be seen since ancient times? It couldn’t be that no one had succeeded in five thousand years, right?
Despite saying that, everyone was a little hesitant. This was because the ability Su Yun had displayed was indeed unbelievable. His performance was also invisible in ancient times. Everyone could not help but have an inexplicable thought. Could it be that from ancient times until now, only Su Yun was so special? Unprecedented in history?
“Su Yun knows how to cultivate? What are you guys talking about! Why do I look dumbfounded?” Big Head Yang couldn’t help but interrupt and ask. He had a blank expression on his face and didn’t understand what everyone was talking about.
“Um… Isn’t my uncle a martial arts grandmaster? It might not be appropriate to use the word ‘cultivation’ to describe him, but ‘practicing’ should not be a problem.” Lin Xiao could not help but say. He naturally did not take everyone’s discussion of ‘cultivation’ seriously and thought that it was all nonsense. He did not know how everyone could discuss it so enthusiastically..
