占测这门类玄学在中国历史上源远流长，其起源有据可考可追溯到最早的伏羲氏，之后周文王演八卦，则算命开始逐步得以发展，具体的发展过程比较漫长，每一代都有或多或少的贡献。“算命”是将中国传统易学文化中的“天人合一”原理应用于预测人生轨迹变化规律的方法。术数家用人出生的“年、月、日、时”按天干、地支依次排列成四个柱八个字（称为“四柱八字”），再用所排的干支所属五行生克推算人的命运，断定人的吉凶祸福。
易学在中国历史上源远流长，据中国之声《新闻晚高峰》报道，算命或起于先秦，当古埃及人用纸草记事、古巴比伦人以泥版为书时，中国的古人劈竹成篾，削薄打磨、火烤编连，将最鲜活的史实书于竹简，传遗后世。算命的起源大约可以追溯到夏商时期，从出土的甲骨文大多是卜辞这一点可以得到印证，那时候的人们在举行婚嫁、征伐、祭祀等重大事情之前，都会烧龟甲或演蓍草对该事进行虔诚的卜筮，借此判断吉凶，这大抵是早期算命术的萌芽。到了周朝时期，周文王、周公等人在前人经验的基础上整理成书，取名为《周易》，才把卜筮之术上升到理论层面。人们对命运的大胆探索及阴阳五行学说的确立是在春秋时期，再到东汉王充禀气说的创立，使中国的命学理论有了明确的哲学根基，逐渐形成了一套有理论、有方法的卜卦算命系统，之后则算命开始逐步得以发展，具体的发展过程比较漫长。
算命以《易经》为根基、以阴阳五行体系为理论依据，其中《易经》有“三易”，包括《连山》、《归藏》、《周易》三部易书，内容极其丰富，对中国几千年来的政治、经济、文化等各个领域都产生了极其深刻的影响。是阐述天地世间关于万象变化的古老经典，是博大精深的辩证法哲学书，是中国传统思想文化中自然哲学与人文实践的理论根源，是古代汉民族思想、智慧的结晶，被誉为“大道之源”。
算命作为一门探究人类命运的学问，不乏对其感兴趣之人，有名的算命大师也有不少，唐代有李虚中、李淳风、袁天罡等，五代有徐居易，宋有徐子平、僧道洪，元有徐大升，明有刘伯温，清有沈孝瞻、陈素庵，民国有韦千里、袁树珊、任铁樵，现代有邵伟华，李居明，秦阳明等。更有许先潮盲派八字理论，盲派快速算命秘诀，金口铁断算命秘要等。
在古代算命通常是一种利用个人切身资讯，例如脸与手的纹路，出生八字、姓名笔划等配合术数来预测或判断命运吉凶福祸并且寻求指点迷津的行为亦称指迷算命。千百年来，经过人们的不断发展与完善，已经形成了一套较为完善的理论体系，而且已深深地扎根与人们的心灵中，经久不衰，显示了强大的生命力。

“Father, who wrote this Secret Dragonblood Training Tome? Since it is so dangerous, why did he even include it?” Linley didn’t know what to say.
Hogg said with a solemn face, “Linley, this Secret Dragonblood Training Tome was written by our founder and first ancestor, the very first Dragonblood Warrior to appear in the Yulan continent, Baruch! He naturally must have had his own reasons for writing this down. Nonetheless, in our family history, there have been two descendants who drank the blood of a Saint-level dragon, and in the end, both of their veins erupted and they died.”
“There’s been people who have actually drank the blood of a Saint-level dragon?” Linley was somewhat shocked.
But actually, it was quite normal.
In the past, when the first, second, and third generation of Baruch clan members were all Dragonblood Warriors, the clan was in its glorious ascendancy. At that period in time, it wasn’t impossible to procure the blood of a Saint-level dragon.
“The events of the past happened too long ago. The real secrets of that era, this book has not revealed. All I know is that because of this, the dragon race sent representatives to engage in discussions with our Baruch clan’s clanlord. After this, our descendants no longer attempted this method. Later on, when our family line weakened, even when we wanted to drink dragon’s blood, we no longer were able to.” Hogg shook his head and sighed.
Linley nodded.
The arrogance of the dragon race was something discussed in many books.
Capturing a live Saint-level dragon to engage in bloodletting? How great a humiliation would this be for the dragon race? It was quite lucky for the Baruch clan that the dragon race didn’t exterminate them in a fiery rage. However, from this, one can imagine how powerful the Baruch clan was at that time.
“This can’t be right, father. If no one has ever successfully become a Dragonblood Warrior as a result of drinking dragon’s blood, then why did our ancestor write that it is possible to use dragon’s blood to refine our own? And even say that the blood of a dragon of the ninth rank would also have some effect?” Linley was really puzzled.
Hogg was startled.
“Linley, don’t ask too much. Honestly, I only know a little bit about our family history as well. As far as what happened four thousand years ago, there’s no way we can clearly know what happened.” Hogg laughed towards Linley.
Linley nodded.
But in his heart, Linley was still suspicious. If no one in history had ever successfully become a Dragonblood Warrior by drinking dragon’s blood, then why would this method be written down in the Secret Dragonblood Training Tome?
“Linley, it’s getting late. You should go back and get some rest.” Hogg laughed.
Linley nodded.
Night.
Linley had returned to his own bedroom and was reading the tome, but his heart was still full of questions.
“Grandpa Doehring, what do you think. If no one has ever succeeded using this method, how could it have been discovered?” Linley simply couldn’t understand the logic.
Doehring Cowart was so old that he had become as crafty as a fox. Stroking his white beard, he said in a self-satisfied manner, “Linley, the answer is simple. Based on what I know, the dragon race is extremely proud, and also extremely large and powerful! I wager that drinking the blood of a live dragon is probably an effective method, but your clan came under tremendous pressure from the dragon clan, and therefore altered the contents of this book.”
Linley immediately understood.
This was very possible.
Under pressure from the dragon race, the Dragonblood Warriors of the Baruch clan were undoubtedly forced to stop catching live dragons for bloodletting.
“But of course, that’s just my conjecture.” Doehring Cowart said placidly. “And Linley, based on what I know, drinking the blood of a live dragon is not necessarily a road to death. As long as you combine it with some Blueheart Grass, the negative effects of dragon’s blood will be negated. But I bet there’s very few people nowadays who know this secret.”
Linley was stunned.
And then, he was wildly overjoyed. “Grandpa Doehring, are you saying that fresh dragon’s blood, when mixed with Blueheart Grass, is safe to drink?”
Doehring Cowart confidently nodded. “Of course. In the past, in the Pouant Empire, when a princess acquired a serious disease, in the end, the only method of curing her was a medicine that included a mixture of fresh dragon’s blood and Blueheart Grass. As a matter of fact, I was the one who personally caught a Saint-level dragon.”
“I remember the master physician who provided the prescription saying that everything in this world has its equal and opposite. For every single ingredient, there was another that would match with it. In that era, the only person who knew how to mix fresh dragon’s blood with Blueheart Grass was that old physician. Since six thousand years have gone by, no doubt no one knows it any longer.” Doehring Cowart said calmly.
Linley nodded.
“Fresh dragon’s blood and Blueheart Grass…” Linley’s eyes shone with excitement. “In the future, when I am powerful enough and become a magus of the ninth rank or even higher, I will use fresh dragon’s blood and Blueheart Grass to let little Wharton become a Dragonblood Warrior.”
Linley even hoped that…
If he had the chance, he himself would use this recipe.
If he could become both a Saint-level magus and a Dragonblood Warrior….but of course, that was just a dream. To even be able to catch a Saint-level dragon was a distant, untouchable dream.
“The road ahead is still long. Time to sleep, time to sleep. I need to train tomorrow.”
Book 2, Growing Up, Chapter 12 – Instructions
Time flowed on, and in the blink of an eye, months had passed. Many new trees had begun to sprout on Wushan township, filling the area with a feeling of spring.
Beneath a pine tree.
Linley was seated cross-legged in a meditative trance, generating mageforce.
After having entered the meditative trance, Linley could clearly sense large amounts of earthen specks of light and green specks of light. These countless specks of lights continuously swirled into his body, and through his limbs and his bones, were purified and stored within the central dantian in his chest.
Within his central dantian, there was a smoky earthen mist intermingled with a smoky green mist.
The earthen mist was his earth element mageforce, while the green mist was his wind element mageforce.
“Whew.” Slowly releasing a breath, Linley exited his meditative trance.
Doehring Cowart, wearing a moon-white robe, was seated cross-legged next to him, a smile on his face as he enjoyed the surrounding scenery. Seeing Linley awaken, he laughed. “Linley, tomorrow you are heading to the Ernst Institute, yet you are still hard at work today?”
Linley’s lips curved up in a smile. “Grandpa Doehring, I believe you were the one who said that strong combatants must work hard every single day, and not relax for even an instant. Only long term training will produce astonishing power.”
“Little punk, so now you are going to give me instructions?” Doehring Cowart laughed while ‘grumbling’.
“Hehe,” Linley chortled.
“Woosh!” A black shadow from far away came flashing towards them, appearing on Linley’s shoulders in the blink of an eye. It was the Shadowmouse, ‘Bebe’. Young Bebe leaned towards Linley, making a chewing motion with his mouth, while pointing at a nearby dead hare.
Just from the look on Bebe’s face, Linley knew what was up.
“You want me to cook it?” Linley laughed as he spoke.
Bebe nodded repeatedly.
“Linley.” The nearby Doehring Cowart mentally spoke to him. “This little Shadowmouse is really quite strange. It’s been months, but judging from his size, it’s almost as though he hasn’t grown at all. For an infant Shadowmouse, the early childhood growth rate should be quite noticeable.”
“I have no idea either.” Linley shook his head.
Although Shadowmouse ‘Bebe’ did not increase in size, his speed was improving quite remarkably.
“It really is bizarre.” Doehring Cowart looked at Bebe. Right now, Bebe didn’t have any idea that a spirit was mentally weighing him.
“It’s getting late. I’ll need to start warrior training soon.” Linley stood up and grabbed the dead hare as he began heading down the mountain. Doehring Cowart flew by his side, unhappily saying, “Linley, in the future, you will be a magus. Why are you still engaging in warrior training?”
Linley laughed, “Grandpa Doehring, I’ve discovered that warrior training can increase my endurance, and with increased endurance, my spiritual essence can increase as well.”
