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

Phase 2, Day 1.

Out of a thousand people.

More than 400 people didn't even finish the standard breathing route.

It's not dangerous.

It is difficult.

Sensing Qi is one thing.

Getting spiritual energy into the meridians is another matter entirely.

the next day.

The first volunteer completed half a cycle.

When it was over, I was so excited that my breathing became disordered, and all my previous efforts were wasted.

Day three.

Finally, someone succeeded.

Not a genius.

A 34-year-old accountant.

Reincarnation compatibility rating: Medium.

It took a full nine hours of segmented training to open the first meridian.

The moment of success.

No one in the lab cheered for long.

Ji Nanxing only said:

"Retest three times."

After all three times it stabilized.

Only then was their name recorded in the success group.

Fourth day.

Thirteen people were successful.

Zhou Qi is not yet successful.

His problem is typical.

There's no problem with breathing in.

The spiritual energy dissipates as soon as you enter the first main vein.

On the fifth day of practice.

He himself was a little discouraged.

"Am I the kind of person who can only feel anger?"

Lin Ye sat outside the observation room.

"Let's go one more time."

"It will still fall apart."

"I'm listening."

Zhou Qi starts anew.

Spiritual energy enters the body.

Sinking belly.

Advancing pulse.

As expected, it began to disperse at the third turning point.

Lin Ye didn't offer him any good luck.

I only listened to it three times.

Finally discovered.

It's not that Zhou Qi was poor at controlling things.

The standard route places too high demands on his right branch.

"Don't force it past the third point."

"Wrap it down half an inch."

Zhou Qi was stunned.

"Can it still go around?"

"try."

the fourth time.

The spiritual energy that always seemed to dissipate finally passed through steadily.

Zhou Qi's eyes widened instantly.

"Don't get excited."

Lin Ye drank directly.

"continue."

Fifteen minutes later.

First lap completed.

Second lap.

Third lap.

stable.

Number 037.

Entered the success group.

Zhou Qi sat there, not saying a word for a long time.

In the end, I only asked one question.

"Will I be able to deliver packages faster in the future?"

The lab erupted in laughter.

Lin Ye smiled too.

"Don't use training to boost performance."

Zhou Qi laughed too.

But halfway through laughing, his eyes suddenly turned a little red.

"I just feel..."

"I used to see those sects recruiting people every time."

"I always felt that cultivation had nothing to do with me."

"I felt even more strongly after the test results came out."

"I'm not cut out for this."

He looked down at his palm.

A faint wisp of spiritual energy was slowly circulating in the palm of his hand.

Xie Hongyi is so weak that I wouldn't even bother to look at her.

But for Zhou Qi...

This was the first strand he had practiced on his own.

"At least we know now."

"You can walk even if you go slowly."

Lin Ye did not comfort him.

He just patted me on the shoulder.

"Then don't stop."

After laughing.

Everyone knows what this means.

Zhou Qi has no special bloodline.

There is no sect master.

There are no high-priced spirit stones.

Their qualifications are not outstanding.

He can succeed.

It relied on a curriculum that had been revised seventeen times.

Real-time monitoring.

Risk warning.

And the correction data left behind by Lin Ye after discovering the anomaly.

Day .

The model automatically identifies offset routes similar to Zhou Qi's.

Lin Ye no longer needs to listen to each one in person.

Seventh day.

Out of a thousand people.

Four hundred and eighty-six people completed the stable circulation of the first meridian.

The other three hundred-plus people, though they did not succeed, also found clear reasons for their failure.

Some routes are simply not compatible.

Some people lack self-control.

Dozens more people were advised to suspend their work.

Not everyone is suited to continue now.

This actually makes the curriculum more like a modern system.

It does not promise "everyone to open their meridians in seven days".

I'll just tell you:

If you can walk, then walk.

Why can't we leave for the time being?

The success rate is far from impressive.

But that's enough to push a door open.

Moreover, these people have very limited changes.

No one can fly over rooftops and scale walls overnight.

Zhou Qi's strength test only showed a slight increase.

The recovery speed is slightly faster.

My breathing is more stable when running five kilometers.

But it was precisely because it wasn't exaggerated that the research center was even more excited.

This shows that the "first meridian" is not a metaphysical label.

It can be continuously measured.

It can also be amplified little by little through subsequent training.

Ji Nanxing handed the final report to Lin Ye.

Look here.

Number of times abnormalities were manually judged.

Sixty-three times on the first day.

Five times on the seventh day.

Lin Ye understood.

"You've incorporated my experience into the model."

"It's not your ability."

Ji Nanxing corrected.

"It's a problem you've discovered before."

"By summarizing our experiences, we can prevent others from making the same mistakes."

She pointed to the more than four hundred people in the training cabin.

"That's the system."

"A strong person will do it on their own."

"I can only help those around me."

"Turn experience into methodology."

"That could help 100,000 people."

Lin Ye suddenly felt that this sentence was more important than any breakthrough in cultivation.

His spiritual hearing was not copied.

But he could tell the way by listening.

At first, others could take your place.

That noon.

The task force has officially adopted a new name.

[Modern Monk]

Not an awakened one.

It's not ancient cultivation.

He is not a disciple of any sect.

This refers to someone who has begun a stable practice based on modern verification systems.

The first batch.

Four hundred and eighty-six.

This name has not yet been made public.

However, when the internal report was transmitted to several ancient sects, the reactions were completely different.

Qingyamen requested a course process document on the same day.

Xuan Yue Sect inquired whether they could also send their outer disciples for comparison.

The Tai Xuan Dao Palace remained silent for most of the day, only replying with one sentence:

[All 486 people have no master or apprentice?]

After receiving a "yes," there was no further reply.

Xie Hongyi knew why they were silent.

What's truly terrifying about a sect is never just its cultivation techniques.

It is a system of inheritance.

The master teaches the disciple.

Senior students mentor junior students.

Generation after generation.

But modern society has proven that.

Some of the most basic things can be learned without relying on a specific master.

The course can be taught.

The instrument can see.

The model can provide early warnings.

This will not immediately render the sect worthless.

However, this creates a crack in the logic that "one must first join a sect before one can truly cultivate."

night.

Lin Ye, Xie Hongyi, and Ji Nanxing came out of the laboratory building.

Passing through the park.

Dozens of people are practicing Qigong according to publicly available guidelines.

No one was watching.

No one called him "Immortal Master".

Someone was running nearby.

Some people are doing square dancing.

Someone is practicing Tai Chi.

A group of people practicing Qi cultivation appeared in the middle.

Xie Hongyi stood by the roadside and watched for a long time.

"Are you really going to turn spiritual practice into this kind of thing?"

Lin Ye asked:

Which one?

"Everyone can learn a little."

Ji Nanxing answered for him.

"There are more literate people now."

"Writers haven't disappeared either."

Xie Hongyi turned to look at her.

He didn't refute it for a long time.

Lin Ye smiled.

"You two are becoming more and more adept at arguing."

Xie Hongyi looked at him coldly.

"Which side are you on?"

"I'll stand in the middle."

"Dream on."

Back to the research center.

Cheng Fang was already waiting.

Two new documents were on the table.

The first one.

More than 300 grassroots spiritual practice organizations have been spontaneously established across the country in the past week.

The largest member has over 10,000 members.

There is no ancient sect background.

They also do not recognize the Candle Shadow Society.

Their name is "New Religious Order".

The slogan is simple.

The techniques can be learned, but the path must be walked by oneself.

The second portion is heavier.

The first batch of pilot programs for national spiritual cultivation academies has been officially approved.

Lin Ye looked up.

"So fast?"

Cheng Fangdao:

"If you don't hurry..."

"The students have really been recruited by sects and non-governmental organizations."

Xie Hongyi looked at the document.

There was a long silence.

"This era."

"They really don't wait for anyone."

Lin Ye flexed his wrists.

"So you'd better hurry up too."

Xie Hongyi looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I can already use the 'Wind Step'."

"When will the next set be taught?"

Xie Hongyi stared at him for two seconds.

The corner of his mouth suddenly lifted slightly.

"I'll wait until you beat me once."

"OK."

Lin Ye also laughed.

"Then don't be lazy lately."

"I'm getting faster every day now."

The voice just fell.

Cheng Fang pushed over the third notification that had just arrived.

This is not good news.

Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Xuan Yue Sect, and six other ancient sects simultaneously submitted a joint proposal.

They accept the public disclosure of basic feelings.

However, it explicitly opposes making the advanced cultivation process "after opening the meridians" public.

There is only one reason.

[Cultivation has its order, and its lineage has its channels.]

Lin Ye looked at the names of the eight sects.

They knew the next battle had already begun.

The competition in the previous stage was about...

Can an ordinary person repair it?

What we're arguing about now is...

How far can an ordinary person go in their cultivation?

And this road.

Who should ultimately have control over it?
