I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

Early the next morning.

Two ancient methods were tested simultaneously.

Ji Nanxing didn't rush to have anyone practice.

Disassemble first.

The Qingyuan Breathing Method consists of nineteen basic steps.

The Twenty-Four Secrets of Opening the Meridians and Guiding Qi.

The breathing rhythms are different.

The postures are different.

The first spiritual energy path is also different.

Even the criteria for judging "successful Qi sensing" are different.

Xie Hongyi stood in front of the entire flowchart, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"You've broken down the cultivation method like this."

"Or is it a cultivation technique?"

Ji Nanxing didn't even look up.

"If it can be put back together, that's fine."

"What if we can't put it back?"

"This means we didn't understand it."

The first round only tests the most basic sense of Qi.

One hundred and twenty volunteers were randomly divided into groups.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the environment is uniform.

The training duration is standardized.

Even what they ate before the test was controlled.

The results came out in half a day.

The Qingyuan method allows for faster Qi perception.

The pulse-opening technique is more stable.

But problems also arose.

Nine people in the Qingyuan Dharma group experienced noticeable dizziness.

In the pulse diagnosis group, six people experienced chest tightness.

None of them are serious.

However, they should not appear in the "Mature Foundation Act".

Ji Nanxing looked at Lin Ye immediately.

"You go."

Lin Ye had gotten used to being used as a testing device.

Let's listen to the Qingyuan Dharma Group first.

The cause was quickly found.

"The air intake speed is too fast."

"Before their first breath of spiritual energy had even fully settled, the second wave had already entered."

"There's a small amount of lateral lung involvement."

Ji Nanxing immediately lengthened his breathing intervals.

Test again.

The number of people experiencing dizziness decreased from nine to two.

Next comes the method for opening the pulse.

Lin Ye listened for a long time, but his brows furrowed even more.

"This part is incorrect."

Xie Hongyi looked over instantly.

"impossible."

"The outer gate of Cangfeng Mountain has been used for thousands of years."

"I'm not saying the cultivation method is wrong."

Lin Ye pointed to the third paragraph.

"It says here, 'Sink your Qi to the Jianjing point and slowly move it along the chest meridian.'"

"But when we actually practiced, all six of us got stuck here."

Xie Hongyi stared at that sentence for two seconds.

Suddenly asked:

"Didn't anyone help them with their shoulders?"

Ji Nanxing looked up.

Why press down on the shoulders?

Xie Hongyi was also stunned.

"First time practicing the Meridian Opening Technique."

"The senior disciples who are in charge of the practice will stand behind, pressing their hands on the Jianjing acupoints to help guide the disciples' Qi downwards."

The laboratory fell silent.

Ji Nanxing slowly enlarged that page of the cultivation technique.

It's not written here.

"Does this even need to be written down?"

Xie Hongyi countered with a question.

Both sides stopped simultaneously.

Lin Ye was the first to react.

"Passed down orally."

All Spirits also cursed in the scroll.

"Ancient sect martial arts techniques were never practiced by simply reading a book."

"I have a master."

"I have a senior brother."

"There's a password."

"Some people even corrected the mistakes on the spot."

The problem suddenly became serious.

Those so-called "ancient true kung fu methods" circulating online nowadays.

Even if the text is 100% true.

It's not necessarily possible to practice directly.

Because it may inherently lack teaching elements that are only known within the sect.

To confirm that it was not a coincidence.

Ji Nanxing asked Xie Hongyi to personally lead a volunteer through the first round of the "Opening Meridians and Guiding Qi Technique".

All sensors are on.

Lin Ye listened from the side.

The result was less than eight minutes.

The researchers then discovered actions that were "not found in the books" in various places.

When the disciple first takes in breath, Xie Hongyi will gently tap the back of the neck with her knuckles to help her relax.

The second time she turns her breath around, she makes people exhale half a breath.

When she reaches Jianjing, her palm will naturally press down.

When concluding the exercise, one will wait three more breaths before getting up.

Xie Hongyi was too skilled at it.

They don't even consider these steps.

Ji Nanxing framed all four areas.

"If no one takes care of it."

"Are any of these four places potentially prone to error?"

Xie Hongyi looked at the screen.

His expression finally changed.

"Yes."

Ji Nanxing then summoned a disciple from the Qingya Sect to demonstrate the Qingyuan Method.

The result was the same.

Behind the nineteen steps in the text, six more oral details were dug out.

Some are for protection.

Some are corrections.

Another one is the accelerated breathing technique that the Qingya Sect temporarily added hundreds of years ago to adapt to the decline of spiritual energy back then.

In today's environment with a stronger spiritual energy, it's easy to absorb it too quickly.

"The ancient method is correct."

Lin Ye looked at the results.

"Times have changed."

Ji Nanxing shook his head.

"No."

Even ancient methods can be wrong.

"At least it's not always the best."

"That was true before."

"That doesn't mean that copying it exactly today is correct."

She then casually pulled up another set of data.

Ancient texts describe the Qingyuan method as requiring "cultivation before noon and not absorbing qi at night."

The disciples of Qingya Sect explained that this was a rule set by their patriarch.

The experiment found that the real factor affecting efficiency was not the word "morning".

Back then, the spiritual energy tide at the Qingya Gate was highest in the morning.

Now it's moved to the laboratory in Beijing.

The spiritual energy in the environment is actually more stable at night.

The time requirement, which was originally an ironclad rule, instantly lost its universal significance.

Another ancient restoration consultant, upon seeing this, finally couldn't help but ask:

"Does that mean we should question every single sentence in ancient texts from now on?"

Ji Nanxing said:

"It's not a doubt."

"It's for verification."

"If you can replicate it, then stay."

If you can't repeat it, find the reason.

"Once the cause is found, we can decide whether to change it or keep it."

As Lin Ye listened, he suddenly realized that the real point of collision between ancient cultivation and modernity was not airplanes and flying swords.

The phrase "This is what the patriarch said" now has to be addressed with data.

This statement caused several ancient restoration consultants to reject the answer.

But the data is there.

No one can reverse the curve by relying on seniority.

Ji Nanxing immediately ordered a halt to all full route testing.

First, mark each sentence of the two sets of exercises.

[Clearly Defined Steps in Text]

[Needs mentorship and correction]

[Default Common Sense]

[May have been passed down orally]

One afternoon.

Xie Hongyi was getting annoyed by the questions.

What does this sentence mean?

"It means exactly what it says."

"Would Master have added a comment before?"

"meeting."

"Write."

"What about this sentence?"

"No, we don't have that."

"Sure?"

"Ji Nanxing".

"Um?"

"Ask me again, and I'll go out and practice my sword."

Ji Nanxing remained unfazed.

"Come back and continue after you finish practicing."

Lin Ye was trying not to laugh.

At night.

Something truly valuable has emerged.

Neither of the two ancient methods is absolutely better.

They are simply different in terms of the environment they adapt to, their practice habits, and the teaching methods of their respective sects.

more importantly.

The physical condition of modern people is also different from that of ancient monks and disciples.

Prolonged sitting.

Take shallow breaths.

Long-term tension in the neck and shoulders.

Low level of physical activity.

Even the nutritional structure has changed.

A method that has been repeatedly verified two thousand years ago is still applicable today.

But it may not be the most suitable to keep it exactly as it is.

Ji Nanxing did something that made several ancient repair consultants' eyelids twitch.

She brought out the most stable breathing rhythm of Qingyuanfa.

Combined with the more slow breathing technique of the Meridian Opening Method.

Then delete all the actions that require on-site correction from the senior student.

It does not affect the pulse.

We don't pursue speed.

Do only one thing.

Let someone who has never been exposed to cultivation first experience the feeling of Qi.

Xie Hongyi's review consisted of only two words.

"Too weak."

All Spirits agreed.

"Shamefully weak."

Ji Nanxing asked:

"Will people die?"

Wanling remained silent for two seconds.

"As it stands now."

"Disaster."

"That's enough."

The plan was labeled as:

[Basic Qi Sensing Scheme 0.1]

The first batch of 500 people underwent closed-door trials.

Severe damage.

zero.

Medical intervention is required.

zero.

Seven people experienced mild discomfort.

It will recover on its own after all training is stopped.

Looking at the results, Lin Ye suddenly realized something.

Ancient cultivation methods aim to train promising talents to become even stronger.

The first step in pursuing the modern system is not to become strong.

It's about having 10,000 people practice together.

Let no one die.

10 PM.

Ji Nanxing pushed the next test plan in front of him.

Lin Ye glanced at the number of people.

"Ten thousand?"

"To be precise, ten thousand eight hundred."

"Twelve cities simultaneously?"

"right."

How should I hear it?

"You don't need to fly around."

Ji Nanxing turned on the anomaly warning model.

"The machine will screen first."

"If you really can't figure it out, I'll bring it to you again."

Lin Ye leaned back in his chair.

"Am I even mass-producing Spirit Listening now?"

Ji Nanxing finally gave a soft laugh.

"Welcome to modern scientific research."
