I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Indeed, with the help of his spiritual nature, Lin An had memorized all those books, “Because the small intestine is the second heart of the human body.”

“!!!” The little boss exclaimed, “That’s outrageous.”

“This is a summary of experiences regarding the rules, whether you find it outrageous or not, it is what it is,” Professor Cao snorted coldly and continued, “Remember, the third knowledge point, the Furnace operates in the lung, and its transportation throughout the body is controlled by the heart and the small intestine.”

“The heart is in charge of activity, the small intestine of stillness.”

“The heart governs boiling and propulsion, the small intestine governs reflux.”

“An action and a stillness, they control the motion of the Furnace.”

The little boss still couldn’t accept it; he twisted his mouth and said, “The small intestine?”

After thinking it over, Professor Cao looked him up and down and scoffed, “Yes, the small intestine, where the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, vital energy, and Furnace Power sink and ultimately accumulate. It’s where all power is sealed.”

“You rely on your own blind practice, causing your Seven Emotions and Six Desires to boil over at the intersection of the small intestine and vital energy.”

“It might seem like you’ve easily overcome what the Wizard refers to as the ‘Emotional Fluctuation Period,’ but it’s just a deviation. Instead of the emotional wildfire that was supposed to burn between the heart and lungs, it ends up burning in the small intestine, the place of accumulation.”

“This method of yours has led to a lot of problems for you.”

The little boss’s face flushed red. He had been studying his father’s research materials and was particularly proud of his own research results. How could he tolerate defamation from someone like Mr. Cao, who went against his father’s approach?

With arms crossed and a sneer, he said, “Alright then, tell me, what problems have I got?”

Mr. Cao laughed, “Can’t you feel it? Your Qi is too restless, making you more and more jumpy. Your overflowing Seven Emotions and Six Desires and boiling vital energy make you particularly energetic.”

“I bet you’ve been so energetic that you often go without sleep for three to five days and frequently want to find a woman.”

The little boss’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Mr. Cao.

Mr. Cao went on, “I guess you might think you’re on the right path, feeling particularly great with this surge of vital energy, and your brain working exceptionally well. The only trouble is your desire for women, but it seems that after you’ve been with a woman, you can sleep soundly, right?”

Dripping with cold sweat, the little boss said, “I… I…”

He desperately looked towards Doctor Zhang, who was chuckling on the side, as if clinging to a lifeline, hoping he would help refute Mr. Cao, “Is this an illness?”

Doctor Zhang grinned and said, “No big deal, I’ll prescribe some medicine for you later, guarantee you won’t want to sleep after that, and soon you’ll have children.”

Professor Cao clearly approved of this approach, “That’s good. Then Lu, this person who doesn’t trust his uncles, can get lost. We’ll raise the child and let them inherit Mr. Lu’s Lu Jiao.”

“You… you guys!” The little boss thought for a moment, then wisely shut his mouth and hid behind Lin An.

After teasing Lu, Professor Cao resumed his lecture.

“Using the heart and small intestine to mobilize the Furnace in the lungs, getting it to operate and achieving an optimal state, is when you will feel your hands and feet beginning to heat up.”

He looked at Lin An, “This is also why you went to Mr. Zhang’s clinic initially, asking him how to allow the power generated by the Breathing Skill to flow through the entire body.” (15)
Lin An nodded with a sudden realization, “So… the Skinning Knife Skill is used to stir up the Furnace in the lungs, the Tanning Skill is used to ignite the heart fire, and the Slapping Skill is used to activate the small intestine’s controlling ability?”

Professor Cao was taken aback, looking at Lin An, then turning to Doctor Zhang.

The two exchanged surprised looks, with Doctor Zhang’s expression even more spectacular than Professor Cao’s.

He exclaimed loudly, “Damn, Mr. Cao, so that’s how you break down the Breathing Skill Furnace? Damn, An’s figured it out, and I haven’t even caught on yet!”

“Yes!” Professor Cao’s voice was almost altered, but he managed to control it, keeping his face taut to not show his pride, just gazing at Lin An, “So, can you tell which step of your armor-making process you haven’t mastered properly?”

“The Slapping Skill!” Lin An said excitedly, “Just like Uncle Zhuang said in the conference room, the power starts from the ground, my Furnace Power is only present in my upper body, it hasn’t spread to my legs and feet, nor has it interacted with the earth from the soles of my feet.”

Mr. Cao laughed, his smile brilliant.

“Indeed, indeed!”

“Lin An, this is an advanced lesson I’ll discuss with you later. Remember, the soles of the feet and the palms are the second doorways between the human body and nature!”

“The first doorway is the lungs, which are intimately connected with life, and thus are always in an activated state.”

“But the second gateway is mostly half-obstructed.”

“Once you understand the sensation of ‘feet on the ground, palms to the sky,’ you can begin to try and smelt your Furnace Core.”

The young boss blinked, glanced at Mr. Cao, then at An, hesitating whether he should also cultivate according to this method.

Geez, this seems pretty credible.

But he was conflicted, damn it, it was too infuriating; he didn’t know what to do.

Mr. Cao didn’t have the time to pay attention to him, his voice deep and thunderous, with a fluctuating cadence as he chanted.

“The lungs as doorways, where heaven, earth, and man converge, thus the Furnace begins.”

“The intestines as the master, transporting the Furnace, reaching all parts of the body.”

He looked at the two people, “The universal secret teachings of the domestic Breathing Skill Furnace are all contained in these two sentences.”

“Self-learners, by this method they cultivate the Furnace. Those inheriting the Furnace Core, by this method they make themselves fit the Furnace Core.”

“But when you break it down, there are various schools of thought.”

“Our Lu Jiao’s cultivation includes two additional components.”

“The first is the Deer Play stance, mimicking the antlers with our hands to complement the practice of the Breathing Skill, all of which I’ve integrated into every detail of ‘three steps of armor-making.’
“It uses the hands, this second gateway, to interact with the world, thereby getting the body used to the sensation of having an ‘antler’ connecting heaven and earth and an outlet for the body to the world.”

“The second is the reason the Furnace Core transforms into antlers, which also distinguishes us from other Witch-hunting Knights.”

Saying this, horns grew out from Professor Cao’s head, extending and branching, towering high into the sky.

“It’s about the essence of the deer.”

As he spoke of this, his expression took on a hint of arrogance, his eyes full of conquering pride.

“Remember, externally we say the deer represents purity of heart, and what we cultivate is benevolence.”

“But the truth is, the deer signifies imperial authority! The deer represents the throne, glory, and wealth!”

“We Lu Jiao dare to lead; we Lu Jiao have always been at the forefront of the domestic and even the world’s cultivation trends, we Lu Jiao…”

He took a deep breath, “are the emperor, the prominent, the domineering.”

He spoke with such vigor that Lin An and the young boss were stirred with enthusiasm, and he followed it up with a sly chuckle.

“Of course, we Lu Jiao also embody purity, hence we don’t engage in the pettiness of the secular pursuit of power. The Conservative Faction Demon Hunters like authority, so let’s leave it to them.”

“Because true power cannot be taken away.”

“What we want…”

“Is to grasp the future of this despairing Supernatural World, a future the Witches and Witch Hunter Knights don’t have!”

“This is both purity and imperial authority!”
