I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 26 Reality has no spiritual energy! Finally, it can be cured!
Chen Han frowned.

Although he obtained the "Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" and was able to use it skillfully, he could not sense any spiritual energy around him.

Or rather, it's not that there's no spiritual energy, but rather that the wisp of spiritual energy is like a drop of water vapor in the desert—it evaporates as soon as you see it.

If you're thinking of licking these water droplets to quench your thirst, you might as well just lie down in the desert and live a little longer; at least that way you won't waste your energy.

The same was true of the wisp of spiritual energy he sensed; it dissipated as soon as he detected it.

In reality, it's practically a spiritual wasteland. Cultivating here is like licking the moisture in the air in the desert—a waste of time and a waste of life.

In other words, there is no way to cultivate in reality.

Thinking about it, he quickly got up and hurriedly went out to the special spiritual cave.

In reality, it's a spiritual wasteland, but it still has a sect's headquarters and special spiritual caves, and there's a spiritual energy cleansing every day at dawn.

Once inside the pavilion, Chen Han sat down cross-legged again and began practicing the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method".

This time, he clearly felt a significant increase in spiritual energy around him, likely due to the concealed effect of the special spiritual cave.

The extra spiritual energy was still insufficient to support cultivation. At best, there was more water vapor in the desert, but it evaporated before anyone could react.

It seems we can only wait for the spiritual energy to cleanse us.

Finally, the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) arrived, and the sky gradually brightened, a prelude to the sun's impending rise.

As the first rays of sunlight shone from the mountaintop, Chen Han instantly sensed the spiritual energy emanating from the special spiritual acupoint and immediately activated the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Refining Method" to draw upon this spiritual energy.

In that instant, every pore on his body opened up, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy.

Unlike the previous subconscious absorption, this time, through the "Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," spiritual energy is guided rhythmically and efficiently, absorbed into the body, and then refined.

He could clearly feel the absorbed spiritual energy entering his body, circulating through his meridians, and gathering into considerable strands of spiritual energy.

Furthermore, by circulating the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method," he could control this considerable amount of spiritual energy to flow through specific meridians. Moreover, with the flow of this energy, he could gain a special perception of his own body.

In this perception, the meridians throughout the body seem to transform into rivers through which spiritual energy flows.

This feeling is very amazing.

This must be the true inner vision described in Taoist legends, right?

He had read some of the Taoist books in the Chen family’s collection, some of which discussed introspection.

Some older versions describe internal vision as follows: "By visualizing and contemplating, one sees the five internal organs as suspended plates, their ugly colors clearly distinguishable, like hanging bells and chimes; the liver is green, the heart is red, the spleen is yellow, the lungs are white, and the kidneys are black..."

The version from the early Republican era describes introspection as: "Close your eyes and concentrate your mind on the inside of your body, feeling the flow of breath and the subtle changes in your body."

The term 'intention' is still retained here.

However, in the latest commentary by a certain modern Taoist master, the description of inner vision has become somewhat abstract, changing to: "You close your eyes, not to actually see with your eyes, but to perceive your inner self with your heart."

As Chen Han experienced this introspection, he was surprised to find that it seemed somewhat similar to what was recorded in ancient versions of Taoist classics.

When you look inward, the meridians appear like river channels, which is very similar to seeing the five internal organs as suspended rocks.
The "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" controls the process of gathering spiritual energy circulating through specific meridians, which is the process of refining spiritual energy into one's own true energy. When spiritual energy is refined into true energy, it can be introduced into the dantian.

This process is very slow and cannot be accomplished overnight.

However, Chen Han could clearly see that as he slowly refined the spiritual energy into true energy, the true energy was also being consumed little by little during the process of circulation. It was being absorbed by his body to nourish his physical body.

On the path of cultivation, only by strengthening the physical body can the meridians become stronger and more resilient, bearing increasingly greater power, so as not to be killed by energy explosion.

The scenario depicted in some TV dramas, where immortals with immortal bodies are killed by mortals with cold weapons simply because they are injured, is impossible.

He could clearly feel this nourishing sensation in his body, as if his cells were leaping with joy.

Very amazing.

Suddenly, when the spiritual energy flowed into the Taiyin meridian of the hand, the refined true energy was consumed even faster.

This discovery made his eyes light up.

The Hand Taiyin Meridian connects to the Lung.

This is the operation of the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation", which uses the refined true qi to repair the damage to his lungs. And what kind of damage to his lungs is, needless to say.

Sure enough, he soon felt a cool and refreshing sensation in his lungs.

This made it impossible for him to suppress the joy on his face.

After the spiritual energy cleansing ended, Chen Han remained seated, continuing to refine the spiritual energy absorbed into his body.

...

As the sun rose, the people of Shangyuan Village gradually woke up, and smoke began to rise from the chimneys of many homes.

While staying at the Chen Family Ancient Building Complex, Zhao Kang also woke up from his sleep.

He slept soundly and woke up in the morning feeling better than ever before.

Anyone who suffers from insomnia knows that they will wake up the next day with a foggy head and poor mental state.

This is normal for him.

I worked hard in my youth and have achieved some success now, but it all came at the cost of my health.

He hadn't slept so soundly or felt so good in a long time.

The effects of Chen's Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea are truly amazing. After drinking some yesterday, I didn't have insomnia last night, and I slept very soundly. I woke up today feeling refreshed and in excellent condition.

He stretched, washed up, and planned to go for a short run.

This is a habit he developed after experiencing chronic insomnia.

A short morning run can promote blood circulation, increase oxygen supply to the brain, and help the body and brain recover quickly from the fatigue and drowsiness caused by insomnia, thus improving mental state.

The advice given by the director of the medical department of the provincial affiliated hospital was very effective.

After leaving the visitor center, he entered the drill ground and ran towards the outside of the ancient building complex. Because of his good sleep quality, he felt more energetic during his morning run. Deciding to visit the Chen Family Ancient Building Complex was definitely the best decision he could have made.

Zhao Kang had been running for 30 minutes and was sweating a lot. When he got to the three old elm trees to rest and enjoy the coolness and comfort, he saw the head of the Chen family sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, motionless.

This surprised him.

Although I know that the Chen family has a Taoist lineage and the entire ancient building complex is marked with symbols related to the Taoist Bagua (Eight Trigrams), I have never actually seen anything about Taoist cultivation practices.

Aside from the ancient techniques of the Chen family head, there was also Xiaoyu's sword dancing and boxing skills; the entire Chen family was no different from ordinary people.

Seeing the Chen family head sitting there motionless, I couldn't help but look at him with curiosity.

Is this some kind of cultivation practice?

Time passed, and half an hour went by, but he found that the Chen family head was still motionless, as if he had entered a meditative state.

That composure alone is astonishing.

If you asked an ordinary person to sit cross-legged like that for half an hour, let's see who could endure it.

Moreover, the head of the Chen family had been sitting there for an unknown amount of time before he arrived.

Finally, Chen Han slowly opened his eyes.

He knew why some of the big shots in the world of Shushan Swordsmen would go into seclusion for decades or even centuries.

Because the process of refining spiritual energy is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it also takes time.

He had only just now refined all the spiritual energy he had absorbed during that short period of time, after being cleansed by spiritual energy. If it were any other time, he would have already instigated infighting among the dog demons and obtained their flesh.

Moreover, during this round of cultivation, not a single drop of the true energy transformed from spiritual energy was introduced into the dantian. Apart from the depletion of nourishing the physical body, almost all of it was used to repair the damage to the lungs, which is to treat the cancer.

Chen Han also subconsciously glanced at the character panel in his mind:

Name: Chen Han

Age: 24
Lifespan: 36 days and 7 hours.

Physical condition: None
Realm: None
Passive skills: none

Active Skill: Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mystic Scripture

Chen Han couldn't contain his excitement.

Although cancer is indeed a difficult disease to treat, and that little bit of spiritual energy cannot have an immediate effect, today's spiritual energy cleansing cultivation has increased my lifespan by 10 days in one go.

This is also the only way to truly treat his lung cancer.

Moreover, it's been 10 days now. As the cancer is gradually treated, the effects of the healing practice will definitely get better and better.

Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing this, but was surprised when he looked at the surrounding fence again. The flowers and plants on it were even greener and more vibrant after being washed by spiritual energy.

Even the sparse flowers have become more abundant and lush, making them quite beautiful to look at.

It feels like these wildflowers have mutated.

Afterwards, he got up and saw Mr. Zhao watching him from the side, and greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Zhao."

"Good morning, Patriarch Chen." Zhao Kang replied with a smile, then asked curiously, "Patriarch Chen, were you meditating and cultivating just now?"

"You could say that!" Chen Han said ambiguously. He couldn't very well tell people that he had started cultivating immortality, could he?
I chatted with Mr. Zhao for a bit, and he also looked at the information about the sect's location:

Level: Level 2 Sect Territory

Effects: Rustic +2, Aesthetics +2.

Special Taoist practice area effect: Tranquility +2 (not yet fully modified)
升级要求：1、40万钱财（8.95万/40万）。2、声望2000（20/2000）。

Special Features: 1. Can reclaim the sect's territory effect and convert it into a sect territory construction plaque. 2. Special Spiritual Cave (This is a special feature of cultivation sects, possessing special effects: +2 to refreshing and comfortable feeling around the spiritual cave, +2 to fresh air around the spiritual cave, and can generate a spiritual energy flush once a day at dawn!)

After upgrading to a level 2 sect headquarters, the upgrade requirements increased significantly. Not only did the amount of money increase to 400,000, but the reputation also increased to 2000.

What surprised him was the +2 calming effect.

Surprisingly, it wasn't listed together with "Simple and Antique" or "Aesthetically Pleasing"; instead, it was added to the "Special Taoist Site Effect" column.

It seems that the +2 calmness attribute will be different from the +2 antiquity and +2 aesthetic appeal after the modification.

However, the modification was not yet complete, and he didn't know the specifics of this attribute.

His reputation increased by 20 points, thanks to the video of the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea that he watched while refining spiritual energy.

Woof woof woof!
The howling of the dog demon could be heard.

He saw the little mongrel run past the ancient building complex, glanced at the warehouse and saw some dog demon meat, so he decided to take pity on them and let them go.

Back in the courtyard, I saw my junior sister come in with a smile, carrying a bamboo box: "Senior brother, what do you think of this packaging for the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea? If we wrap it in a courier box, we can mail it to customers who buy it from Douyin Shop."

"Hmm, not bad!" Chen Han nodded.

Then, as if seeking praise, the junior sister said, "Senior brother, I have another good news for you. Didn't I meet a lot of girls when I attended the National Style Festival? I even had a great chat with one older sister."

“She was dumped by a jerk a while ago and was also blocked, so she’s been in a bad mood. That’s why I invited her to our Chen Family Ancient Architecture Complex to relax. She has over 300 million followers and is very influential in the traditional Chinese style category. If she can help promote our Chen Family, it will definitely attract a lot of people.”

"Who is it?" Chen Han asked curiously.

Currently, upgrading a level 2 sect's residence requires over 2000 reputation points, and even more for subsequent upgrades. If it can bring tourists to the Chen Clan Ancient Building Complex to boost reputation, then he welcomes them to come and play.

The junior sister continued to boast: "Senior brother, you should have heard of her, Shan Hai Guan Wu, one of the three giants of Chinese style goddesses, but we all call her Sister Xiao Mi."

"What???" Chen Han was suddenly dumbfounded.
