I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 96 Rounding equals magic! What happened to believing in science?
The moment his true energy surged into his dantian, Chen Han could clearly feel his body become much lighter, his senses seemed to have become stronger, and he could hear the chirping of insects from a greater distance.

As the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method" is activated, the true qi introduced into the dantian begins to circulate in the corresponding meridians, absorbing the newly absorbed spiritual qi and transforming it into true qi.

More importantly, when this vital energy passes through the Taiyin meridian again, its therapeutic effect on the lungs is significantly stronger than before.

Moreover, the "Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" describes that as long as one circulates true qi and successfully introduces it into the dantian to establish internal circulation, it marks the formal beginning of cultivation.

Naturally, there is no concept of realm at this time.

In the world of Shushan Swordsmen, there is no unified classification of realms. In any case, the realm classifications vary among different sects and unorthodox schools, and there are even more obscure methods of differentiation such as the Sword Intent Realm.

There are also realms such as Xuanmen Tongshen, Lingxu, and Zifu.

In the world of Shushan Swordsmen, those who cultivate true qi and successfully guide it into their dantian, but do not yet have a cultivation level, are collectively referred to as swordsmen.

The cultivation realms described in "The Basic Qi Cultivation Method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" refer to the four realms of cultivation in the Shu Mountain Swordsmen.

The four stages of cultivation are: Condensation Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Deity Transformation Stage!

The Condensation Stage corresponds to the disciples of the Emei Sect who have just learned the sword control technique, because only those in the Condensation Stage can learn to fly on a sword.

The Golden Core stage is equivalent to the strength of the Seven Masters of Emei.

The Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to the strength of Dan Chenzi, Xuan Tianzong, and Youquan Old Monster.

As for the Nascent Soul stage, the novel doesn't describe it much. It's roughly described as a realm where one can cultivate their primordial spirit into an external avatar, a level that even the Long-Browed Immortal seems to have never reached.

Some people say that this realm is actually the Golden Immortal realm.

Naturally, the four realms of cultivation in the Shushan Swordsmen also correspond to the four realms of immortals: Loose Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Golden Immortal.

In addition, there is a collective term for sword immortals.

Those who can fly all belong to this category; those who learn to fly on swords after the condensation stage are all sword immortals.

Simply put, a Loose Immortal is someone who has reached the Nascent Soul stage. As long as one opens up their Purple Mansion and successfully condenses their Nascent Soul, they become a Loose Immortal. Of course, there are other specific distinctions, but those are not important.

The Nascent Soul stage will attract the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Surviving it once will make you an Earth Immortal. At this level, you will have the ability to reincarnate through the Nascent Soul stage. Surviving it three times will make you a Celestial Immortal, which is the realm when the Long-Browed Immortal ascended to heaven.

The celestial beings here truly correspond to the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court; otherwise, there wouldn't be stories of celestial lords descending to the mortal realm to visit their friends.

Chen Han guided his true energy into his dantian, and the next stage of his cultivation was the process of entering the Condensation Realm.

This process involves two steps.

The first step is to open up the Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, Yin Qiao Meridian, and Yang Qiao Meridian among the eight extraordinary meridians to form a small circulation. After that, open up the Ren and Du Meridians to achieve a large circulation.

Doesn't it sound more like a martial arts novel than a cultivation story?
That's right. In the novel "Shushan Swordsman", the initial stages of cultivating immortality and martial arts are similar.

Moreover, the novel *Shushan Swordsman* features the martial arts world, with many martial arts figures appearing in the early stages of the story.

In the martial arts world, opening up the Ren and Du meridians makes one a top-tier master. However, martial arts training relies on internal energy, and opening up the Ren and Du meridians can take more than ten or even several decades.

If one cultivates immortality and refines spiritual energy into true energy, then opening up the six meridians and the Ren and Du meridians becomes much easier, since the energy is of a higher level.

Therefore, in the novel "Shushan Swordsman", even disciples of the Emei Sect who have only been practicing for a short time can easily kill well-known martial arts masters. This was the case when Li Yingqiong first joined the Emei Sect.

The second step is to break the meridians. Here, breaking the meridians does not refer to the eight extraordinary meridians or the Ren and Du meridians, but rather to the body's spiritual meridians.

A mountain with spiritual veins is a sacred mountain, and only those with spiritual veins can cultivate themselves into immortals who roam the heavens and earth.

Isn't there a saying about "Qi Sea and Snow Mountain" in some novels?

The Qi Sea is the Dantian, and the Snow Mountain is actually the Immortal Mountain, referring to this spiritual vein.

The character "仙" (xian) in "神仙" (shenxian, immortal) is derived from the image of a person and a mountain.

If you have no spiritual veins or a connection to immortality, go down the mountain and make your way in the martial arts world; you'll become a master there too.

Those with spiritual veins will gradually have their spiritual veins close and become blocked after birth. They will need to break through the veins and open them up again in order to escape the realm of mortals and enter the Condensation Realm.

As for him now, he has only just begun to draw true qi into his dantian, and he doesn't even have the conditions to open up those meridians yet.

time flies.

As the true energy circulates, the spiritual energy washed over the body is also rapidly refined and absorbed.

When everything calmed down, Chen Han opened his eyes and got up from his cross-legged position.

I stretched and could clearly feel that my body was much stronger.

What excited him most was the increased lifespan this time.

July 32!
This lifespan means he can live to be 56 years old.

As for the lung cancer, it was greatly cured after this cultivation. Presumably, after another night of cultivation with spirit stones, it will be basically cured. Only then can I truly breathe a sigh of relief and feel that the world is finally wide open.

Chen Han took a deep breath, then left the pavilion and headed to his uncle's kitchen to prepare medicinal cuisine.

Today, besides taking out the remaining dog demon meat, we also need to process the blue-feathered pheasant meat.

After skillfully processing the dog demon meat, I placed it into a stewing pot.

Then he began to process the meat of the blue-feathered pheasant. When he plucked the blue feathers from the meat, he found that one of the feathers was different. It was darker in color and had some special patterns left behind.

I subconsciously put all the plucked feathers into the warehouse, and then I saw the note:

[Australopithecus common feather: This is just an ordinary Australopithecus feather, nothing special!]

[Azure Pheasant Feather: This is a feather from an azure pheasant, containing traces of wind-attribute power. Activating your true energy can unleash its power. If you have enough, try crafting some artifacts; you might be surprised by the results.]

Chen Han looked at the note information in surprise, continued to process the feathers of the blue-feathered pheasant meat, put all the feathers into the warehouse, and finally obtained 3 such special feathers.

He immediately took out a feather and tried to circulate the "Nine Heavens Profound Scripture Basic Qi Cultivation Method". Sure enough, he felt a trace of power remaining on the feather. He tried to mobilize a trace of true qi to input it, and as the note said, it activated the trace of wind attribute power on it.

To his surprise, he could clearly feel a wisp of wind gathering on the feather. Although it wasn't strong, there really was a wisp of wind.

Does this work too?
He waved his feathers, and the gust of wind blew towards a cluster of potted plants. Instantly, the branches and leaves of the plants could be seen swaying, but they only swayed and did not have much power.

To be honest, if a girl wearing a short skirt were to be blown by this little breeze, it wouldn't even lift the hem of her skirt.

It's a complete waste of time and energy.

However, rounding it up, shouldn't this be considered a spell?
Moreover, according to the notes, these blue pheasant feathers should be materials for refining weapons, right?

After all, the notes clearly state: there are enough of them to try crafting some tools; there might be unexpected gains.

However, it all depends on whether Youcai can keep up with the demands and whether he can lead his underlings to hunt Qingyu Pheasants on Qingluan Peak every day.

Looking at the blue pheasant feather in his hand again, he noticed that after using that gust of wind, its color had faded and the special patterns remaining on it had disappeared.

Afterwards, Chen Han cut a portion of the prepared pheasant meat and put it into another stewing pot, along with medicinal herbs and water, and started stewing it.

After pausing, he soon noticed that the reputation increase notification in his mind was accelerating again. He roughly guessed the reason, and when he checked the Douyin Hot Topics list, he found that a news video from a provincial urban news outlet, "Believe in Science and Wall-climbing," had entered the top 20.

It's the news video of that reporter Wu interviewing Ms. Chen yesterday.

Judging from the video's release time, it was released last night.

The Douyin Hot Topics Ranking updates every 2 hours. This video is now gaining traction and is rapidly climbing the rankings, which is also increasing his popularity. Many people are following him after seeing the video.

He also took a look at his video data:

The video "Dog Demon Seeks Help" went viral and has now garnered 253 million likes. Although the growth rate is not as fast as it was at the beginning, reaching 300 million likes should not be a problem.

With such popularity, even the video of Youfu filming last night, titled "The Mountain-Shaking Spirit Ox Part-Time as a Guide to Spirit Ox," received 18 likes overnight.

Sure enough, once the hype started, the data grew very quickly.

I checked my followers again, and they've reached 48.

They gained over 16.5 more followers.

Naturally, this also brought his reputation to 50000 (461735/50000).

That's almost 10 times the upgrade requirements.

So, once Chu Hao arrives, and given that reporter Wu Ying also wants to become an agent for Lei Zhu Ling Tea, we can discuss with the two of them about paying the full amount upfront.

In that case, with the Thunder Bamboo Spirit Tea accumulated over the past few days, plus the remaining 175 million that Chu Hao needs to pay, it should be enough to meet the upgrade requirements.

If no other conditions are required for upgrading the sect's headquarters, you shouldn't have to worry about reputation for the next level; you can simply earn enough money to upgrade.

He hopes the system will act like a human being and not come up with any new tricks to make things difficult for people.

Online, as the interview news from New Urban News became more and more popular, more and more people saw the news, especially those who followed Chen Jiazhu's account.

Professor Wu is a case in point.

Because of the Lion Head Goose incident, he paid close attention to the Chen family head and even watched the video the other party posted yesterday about guiding the spirit ox.

Last night I thought the Chen family head was being abstract again. Even if his beast-taming skills are so good that he can ride a bull around, controlling the bull while riding it and letting the bull greet tourists on its own are completely different things.

Cows cannot perform such complex and flexible tasks; their intelligence is limited by its upper limit.

But to his surprise, he saw early in the morning that the head of the Chen family was indeed entertaining customers in a news video, and it was even reported by a well-known provincial news media.

The key point is that this cow not only greeted the guests, but actually led them to the visitor center, and even looked back to see if the reporters were following.

Professor Wu suddenly discovered something astonishing: the abstract video of the Chen family head seemed to be becoming less abstract.

The guy in the white vest was actually a real expert.

Cows really know how to entertain guests!

In the video, the head of the Chen family's voice can be heard again: "We should all be rational about these things. Just like Professor Wu from Huazhong Agricultural University said, they are all based on scientific evidence. We should trust science."

"???" Professor Wu was completely stunned when he heard these sudden words.

No, what does this have to do with him?

He had only commented on the first video of the lion-headed goose guarding the scene, saying that such a scenario could be trained using scientific methods.

After the other party posted the second array video, he felt it was somewhat unscientific and chose to remain silent and go into hiding, even deleting that comment.

What the hell is going on now?
How could the Chen family head be dragged into this again?
I inexplicably feel like I've been burdened with a huge responsibility.

I will never comment casually online again.

As Professor Wu was dumbfounded, the video continued playing. After seeing the beautiful orchids filling the courtyard, the video then showed the interview with the dog.

He was also shocked when he saw the armored dogs charging towards him.

I was particularly struck by the scene of the little mongrel arrogantly shaking hands with the female reporter.

The head of the Chen family is truly skilled at animal taming; he trained the dog to this level in just one day and one night.

Of course, what attracted him most was the interview with the three Chen family masters, because he usually practices Tai Chi to strengthen his body and still has some chivalrous feelings about traditional martial arts.

These three Chen family masters are truly skilled; he had even seen the video of the dog thief being beaten black and blue.

After learning the name "Taiyi Long Fist," he paused the video and searched for it. Sure enough, this fist technique was a long-standing tradition of Taoism, and people in most places where Taoism was practiced practiced this fist technique.

It seems that the Taoist sect has real skills!
As the video continued to play, Professor Wu was soon amused by the sight of the three Chen family masters practicing their boxing.

They weren't even in a proper order.

There are many videos online promoting martial arts, showing several people practicing together, and they all look very synchronized.

But when the female reporter revealed the reason, he suddenly stopped laughing.

Because what the female reporter said made a lot of sense.

Everyone's skill level is different, so how could their punches and techniques be the same?

This is worth pondering.

But he certainly didn't expect that this was just a mistake and an embarrassing demonstration by the three Chens.

Professor Wu continued watching the video.

"Master Chen, I wonder if the kind of martial arts described in novels still exists?"

"...We must believe in science..."

"Xiaoyu, you..."

"...Yes, my senior brother can scale walls and rooftops."

"???" Professor Wu was clearly stunned when he heard the words "flying over rooftops and scaling walls".

Isn't the junior sister of the Chen family head also quite abstract?

The head of the Chen family had just said to believe in science, and she suddenly performed a very unscientific feat of flying over rooftops and scaling walls.

But what he saw next made his eyes widen in shock. In the video, the head of the Chen family rushed to the wall and jumped up. Then, by stepping on the wall and using the horizontal edge for leverage, he actually climbed onto the roof, which was more than 5 meters high.

No, Patriarch Chen, you really know how?
Not only Professor Wu, but everyone who watched the news video online was stunned by what they saw.

What happened to believing in science?
