"Coming?"
Old Chen was wearing an apron and had a kind face.
"You?"
Qi Zixiao was a little surprised. He had never seen such a scene in the world of immortal cultivation. An old man tied in an apron...
"Hey, I thought you'd be here soon, so I cut some fruit."
"Come in, sit anywhere, it will be ready in a moment."
…
After entering the house, Qi Zixiao found that the decoration inside was also very simple and low-key, and at the same time there was a bookish atmosphere that made people feel very comfortable.
There is a sense of moderation and peace.
Not long after, Old Chen came out with a plate of fruit.
"Eat something?"
"Let's get down to business."
Qi Zixiao smiled.
It's not that she didn't give him face, but she came here immediately after dinner, and the taste of fruits can't compare to spiritual fruits...so the appeal is not that strong.
"OK."
Old Chen pushed up his glasses and said, "The reason I didn't contact you these days is that I was actually doing some research."
"Of course, I didn't tell anyone about this."
"I have a document here, take a look at it first."
He handed over a stack of papers.
Qi Zixiao opened it and saw two photos at first glance.
The two photos are about the size of A4 paper, and the difference is obvious, with notes below.
Before the change, after the change!
The first picture is the one before the change. He undoubtedly looks much older. Although his eyes are still bright, compared with after the change, he seems to be more than ten years older!
If ordinary people saw it, they would definitely think that the second photo was taken more than ten years ago.
But obviously, this is not the case.
Qi Zixiao was not surprised by this. She knew very well what the spiritual energy was used for!
For example, for ordinary people in the world of immortal cultivation, living to be a hundred years old is like a piece of cake, and it is not uncommon for ordinary people to live to be a hundred and fifty or even two hundred years old.
Why
So spiritual!
Even if you don't know how to cultivate immortality, spiritual energy will flow in and out of your body with every breath!
Delaying aging is just one of the most basic effects of spiritual energy.
Lin Fan mentioned to her that he had once injected a trace of true energy into Old Chen.
What is Zhen Yuan? It can be regarded as the spiritual energy after absorption, refining and purification! He looks ten years younger, which is too normal.
If the input of true energy is sufficient, it is no problem to be decades younger.
Qi Zixiao turned to the third page without leaving any trace...
"You don't look surprised."
Old Chen sighed: "So, you really knew it would be like this?"
“I guess so.”
Qi Zixiao nodded.
On the third page, it says... Research Report!
"I made it at home at the time, with very few instruments, and it's not very professional, but you can use it as a reference, and I think it's pretty close."
Old Chen explained on the side.
Qi Zixiao nodded slightly, and then continued reading.
This research report is entirely handwritten by Old Chen.
It described in detail the changes he had noticed in the past few days, and even conducted some research on biological cells...
Although he is a physics expert, he also has some knowledge of biology and is not completely incapable of simple research.
Soon, Qi Zixiao saw the final conclusion.
Conclusion: Cell activity is increased for unknown reasons, cell division is accelerated, and cell aging is slowed down. Thanks to this, the body's functions are fully recovered, as if one is about fifteen years younger.
The specific changes in my physical fitness are unknown because I did not record my physical data in detail before the changes, but I feel that I am better than I was fifteen years ago.
This is the end of the information.
Old Chen said at the right time: "There is no other way. The conditions are so simple that I can only draw these conclusions. I can't go deeper...
"Even if there are conditions, it won't work unless you cut me off..."
"Come to think of it, even if I die, I don't want anyone to cut me up."
"It's like Einstein, who clearly said that his head should not be cut off after his death, but it was cut off anyway."
Qi Zixiao: “…”
How to answer
Be honest and ask what cells are
Wouldn’t that be a giveaway
After a brief thought, she decided that she could only fool people and pretend that she knew the answer, then search again.
So she silently memorized the contents and conclusions of the information.
Then he said, "Is that so? Actually, I don't know what will happen."
"You don't know either?"
Old Chen was stunned.
"I mean, in scientific terms, I don't know what will happen," Qi Zixiao emphasized.
“So that’s how it is!”
Old Chen nodded, and said in a somewhat enlightened tone: "That makes sense. Without a detailed autopsy and examination, no one can really tell."
"But... this dissection thing obviously won't work."
"Can you tell me? What did you give me?"
Thinking of what Lin Fan said before, he could reveal some to Old Chen, and he had never felt any "threat" from Old Chen. Knowing that this person could be trusted, Qi Zixiao nodded and said, "True Essence."
"True essence?"
"You mean... inner strength or something like that?"
Old Chen was immediately shocked: "Although I have some guesses, are there really internal strength and martial arts masters in this world?"
"No, it's not internal force, nor is it internal strength. It's a level higher than internal force, the true essence."
"ah?"
"To put it simply, it's the difference between practicing martial arts and cultivating immortals."
"Cultivating Immortality?!"
Old Chen was completely shocked: "You... cultivate immortality?"
"This... is unscientific!"
"No, that's not right. What happened to me was not scientific at all. At least not the current 'science'. It's a brand new science that we have never understood or come into contact with before!"
Without waiting for Qi Zixiao to answer, he spoke continuously.
"Besides, the facts are before my eyes. I have no reason not to believe it. So... are there really people who cultivate immortality?"
Qi Zixiao thought about it, in order to calm Old Chen down and to help him understand more intuitively...
She gently raised her right hand, palm facing up, and then.
Buzz.
A ball of misty true energy appeared in the palm of his hand, as if he was holding a purple auspicious cloud.
"True essence is purple?"
Old Chen’s eyes widened and he looked carefully, afraid of missing any details.
"It depends on the person. Mine is purple."
When practicing Purple Qi Coming from the East, your true essence will naturally be purple, but there is no need to explain these details, and they are of no use.
"So, does the true essence have different properties for different people?"
“You could say that!”
"Then... besides delaying aging and increasing cell activity, what other functions does it have?"
bump!
The next moment, Qi Zixiao slapped it lightly, and a palm print suddenly appeared on the solid wooden coffee table, which was transparent from top to bottom.
Old Chen: “…?!!!”
"You have to pay for it!"
Qi Zixiao: “…”
"Haha, I'm just kidding you. In other words, you really are the legendary immortal cultivator?"
"Legend has it... sort of."
Qi Zixiao muttered to himself: At least on Earth it is a legendary existence.
"It's... so... so..."
Old Chen stood up and walked around Qi Zixiao several times, but he didn't know what to say and was left with endless amazement.
After a long while, Old Chen was filled with emotion: "Could it be that humans and immortal cultivators already existed on Earth in ancient times?"
"According to modern scientific research, it is generally believed that before dinosaurs became the dominant species, the oxygen content on Earth was very high!"
"So, all living things are very large. An insect can grow to be several meters long, and a dragonfly can even have a wingspan of more than two meters."
"The mainstream academic community believes that this is due to the high oxygen content. Could it be that it is actually due to the presence of spiritual energy and immortal cultivators?"
Old Chen frowned, was thinking and whispering.
Qi Zixiao saw that he was thinking and did not disturb him. He just listened quietly and understood a lot at the same time.
For example, in the ancient times of the earth, could a dragonfly grow that big? !
That's obviously not normal! At least not normal for the Earth without spiritual energy.
In other words... Was the earth spiritual in ancient times
…
Old Chen was still whispering.
"That's true, actually. If it's just oxygen, it doesn't make sense. If it's the effect of spiritual energy..."
"But, what exactly is aura?"
"What are they made of?"
“What parts of the air?”
"If we extrapolate this way, then we should say that there was spiritual energy in the air in ancient times, but it is gone now?"
He glanced at Qi Zixiao again: "No, there should be more, but very few?"
“It’s gone.”
Qi Zixiao gave a definite answer: "There is no spiritual energy in the air nowadays. At least I haven't found any spiritual energy in the air in the places I've been to."
"…, as expected, it's gone?"
"So, the Earth itself is actually in a state of decay? The scientific community believes that the oxygen content is decreasing, but in reality, it is the disappearance of spiritual energy?"
With the mentality of a "scholar", Old Chen is constantly overturning his inherent thinking and establishing new cognition.
A... Understanding of 'Cultivators' and 'Spiritual Energy'!
This is also the mentality and character that a scientist or relevant personnel should have.
A true scientist will never stand on the inherent "science" to deny or attack others, but will actively explore and have the courage to overturn!
"Those Dharma-ending Ages often mentioned in novels are actually real?!"
Old Chen suddenly found it a little funny.
Everyone says that novels are nonsense, but it turns out that nonsense novels are accidentally correct
"If there really was spiritual energy on Earth in ancient times, then... the Earth today can indeed be said to be in the Dharma Ending Age."
Qi Zixiao nodded in approval.
"Is that so..."
Old Chen was silent for a moment: "Can you give me some of your spiritual energy, or... your true essence?"
"I know very little about these things. It is really hard for me to imagine what spiritual energy and true essence are."
"If there's something I can do research on, maybe... I can make some different discoveries."
He looked at Lin Fan and said seriously, "Since you chose to tell me this, you must have some ideas, right?"
"Um!"
Qi Zixiao nodded in acknowledgement.
"I also want to know if we can use 'science' to analyze aura, or even... create artificial aura!"
