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

8:01 AM.

The "Guidelines for Basic Reiki Awareness and Safety Practices (Trial Version)" has been officially released.

There is no "divine skill".

There is no "foundation building".

Even the cover is as plain as a medical examination brochure.

It has twenty-seven pages in total.

The first ten pages are all about risks.

Those with severe cardiopulmonary diseases should exercise with caution.

Do not practice after drinking alcohol.

Don't exercise when you're hot.

It is forbidden to practice multiple sets of exercises together.

Do not attempt to stimulate your meridians on your own.

It is recommended that minors practice with the knowledge of their guardians.

Until page eleven.

They just started teaching breathing and feeling the breath.

The initial reaction online was remarkably consistent.

[This name alone tells you you're not destined for immortality.]

The second reaction is even faster.

Has anyone practiced yet?

The third type of person doesn't have time to comment.

They started practicing right away.

Office lunch break.

University dormitory.

Park bench.

Rental housing.

Construction site dormitory.

Even on the subway during the morning rush hour, some people secretly breathe in rhythm.

One hour.

More than 30 million downloads.

three hours.

It has exceeded 100 million.

The official platform then held its first live Q&A session.

The number of problems is outrageous.

Can I train while lying down?

Does a stuffy nose from a cold affect my ability to catch a cold?

"Can I drink milk tea after practice?"

Will my cat steal the spiritual energy if it lies next to me?

The first few questions were relatively normal.

Even the host was almost unable to hold back his emotions.

Ji Nanxing sat in front of the camera, her expression unchanged from beginning to end.

"Lying down is fine, but it's easy to fall asleep."

"A stuffy nose doesn't affect spiritual energy, it affects your breathing."

"Milk tea is not among the currently known taboos in cultivation."

"The last one."

She paused for two seconds.

"Don't wrongly accuse the cat."

This segment was edited into countless short videos that day.

Instead, it caused the guide, which was originally like an instruction manual, to quickly go viral.

Lin Ye only realized it later.

It takes hundreds of millions of ordinary people to accept a set of things.

Being "scientifically correct" is not enough.

It also needs to be understandable and easy for people to use.

The first to panic were the hospital and the Seventh Division.

The entire country is prepared to receive the first wave of accidents.

As a result, the number of people seeking emergency care that day actually decreased.

It's not that nobody practices randomly.

Instead, many people who were originally going to try various online secret techniques switched to practicing the official version.

"Safety" is showing its own appeal for the first time.

More noticeable changes are appearing in our daily lives.

This morning, some people were even trending the topic of cultivation.

Starting in the afternoon, many companies have added "ten minutes of Qi sensing" to their lunch break areas.

A gym converted a yoga room into a low-intensity Reiki practice room.

The number of cultivation clubs in universities surged overnight, and the next day the school uniformly renamed them "Spiritual Energy Research and Sports Clubs".

The most cautious are the hospitals.

Many doctors directly forwarded the official guidelines in their departmental group chats, adding only one sentence:

[If you want to practice, then practice this. Don't come to the ER and make me guess which secret manual you're practicing.]

The most outrageous ones are dating platforms.

Some people have already included "stable energy" in their personal profiles.

When Lin Ye saw the screenshot, he fell silent.

Cheng Fang only commented:

"The speed at which humanity adapts to the new era is mainly reflected in strange ways."

Jokes are jokes.

What's truly important is that spiritual practice is transforming from an "extraordinary event" into a behavior that can be integrated into daily life.

Nobody knows if it will eventually become as ordinary as running or exercising.

But the door was already open.

in the afternoon.

The sects' attitudes also began to change.

Tai Xuan Dao Palace announced its willingness to provide a set of external cultivation methods for evaluation.

The Xuan Yue Sect followed suit.

The condition is that the measurement error and training data are shared.

The Qingya Sect is the smartest.

They directly announced that the second round of public courses would adopt a teaching method that compares the sect's version with the official safety guidelines.

The number of fans has increased again.

Cheng Fang was watching the news.

"The ancients learned about traffic flow quite quickly."

Linye Road:

"Give them another month."

"Someone might start livestreaming and selling spirit stones."

Day .

The first coordination meeting of returning sects was officially held.

The original twelve were no longer the only ones present.

Twenty-seven ancient cultivation forces.

Nine complete ancient cities are represented.

Three non-sectarian cultivation organizations.

The modern version is even more exaggerated.

Land, judiciary, healthcare, education, market, scientific research, and public safety.

The entire conference hall was filled with people.

The first three issues are still causing controversy.

Who manages the land?

How do sect members register?

How does Gu Xiu use magic in public areas?

The one that actually argued the longest.

It's still a cultivation technique.

Yan Shouzhen proposed:

"Basic Qi perception can be disclosed."

"Once one enters formal training, the sect or a qualified institution should take charge."

Ji Nanxing projected the test data from 10,000 people directly onto the large screen.

"More than 6,000 people have successfully completed the Qi sensing process."

"How many can all your sects recruit combined?"

No one answered.

This number becomes even more alarming when it's projected onto a national scale.

The traditional master-disciple system within a sect simply cannot accommodate everyone.

finally.

The meeting approved a project that will truly impact the future.

[Modern Cultivation Foundation Course Special Group]

Ancient cultivation methods and teaching experience are provided.

The National Psionic Research Center is responsible for verification, dismantling, and risk assessment.

The healthcare system participates in safety standards.

Seven examples of anomalies and real-world case studies are provided.

The education department is researching spiritual education for adults.

It will not be included in the regular curriculum of primary and secondary schools for the time being.

Lin Ye saw that his name was also in the special task force.

Why should I participate?

Ji Nanxing didn't even look at him.

"You can hear the breath."

You can't escape.

Xie Hongyi was also there.

The identity is written as:

[Ancient Cultivation Practice and Traditional Cultivation Consultant]

After reading it, she only asked one question.

Are there any subsidies?

Lin Ye suddenly turned his head.

"You've gone astray."

Xie Hongyi remained expressionless.

"I need to buy something now too."

"Cangfeng Mountain is short of money?"

"You can't buy a cell phone with sect spirit stones."

Lin Ye was speechless.

What he didn't expect was...

He was not just a "test subject" on the special task force list.

The job description reads:

[Practical Training Path Assessment Consultant]

Cheng Fang saw this from the side and chuckled.

"You got promoted?"

"What kind of official is this?"

"At least from now on, people will have to listen to you when they speak in meetings."

Lin Ye looked at the line of text.

I felt a little uneasy.

Two months ago.

He was just a field operative following orders.

Now he says which routes are dangerous and which cultivation methods are simply not applicable in actual combat, which may directly affect the teaching materials of tens of thousands of people in the future.

Increased strength brings more than just the ability to fight.

They also have a voice.

This feeling is slower than throwing an extra punch.

But it is also heavier.

After the coordination meeting concluded.

A new institution was also officially established and is under construction.

[Boundary Affairs Coordination Committee]

The seven departments no longer concern themselves with trivial matters.

Land, education, healthcare, commerce, and residency—each has found its own successor.

Only the most dangerous parts were retained in the seven locations.

This adjustment has also given many frontline field staff a sigh of relief.

In the past week, they have even been summoned for things like sect disciples not being able to produce their ID cards when applying for mobile phone SIM cards.

Now we finally don't have to throw everything in seven different places.

What truly belongs to Division Seven are only those things that absolutely require someone to fill in.

High-risk monk.

High-risk abnormality.

Dangerous antique.

Cross-regional spiritual disaster.

After reading his new responsibilities, Cheng Fang smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"At least I don't have to worry about whose ancestral graves anymore."

Lin Ye also felt relaxed.

This relaxation only lasts until the evening.

A copy of internal data from the Candlelight Society was intercepted.

The past seven days.

New peripheral registered members.

110,000.

The induction phase has officially begun.

Twenty-eight thousand.

The most noteworthy thing is not the quantity.

Rather, it's the source.

More than 60% of them.

They are all people who were not selected by the major sects, whose qualifications were deemed mediocre by enterprises, and who themselves want to continue cultivating.

Lin Ye stared at the list.

Suddenly I understood.

The open basic law only addresses one problem.

"Can we begin?"

An even bigger problem followed.

If you have average talent.

No sect was vying for it.

They also don't have the money to buy resources.

After sensing the Qi.

What's the next step?
