Chapter 286 Nationwide Body Refinement, A New Chapter for China
When the complete method of "The National Body Refinement Technique" was officially announced to the 1.4 billion people of the country through all available channels such as television, the internet, and newspapers.
The whole of China was in an uproar.
Initially, people were skeptical.
"Everyone's practicing cultivation? Really? Like in novels?"
"Is this 'National Body Refinement Technique' reliable? Could it be a scam created by some qigong master? I don't want to suffer qi deviation if I practice it."
"Who cares! The government has spoken, how could it be fake? Let's give it a try, it's free anyway, and it's always good to get fit."
However, when the first group of people began to try practicing according to the diagrams and mantras in the manual,
Everyone was stunned.
On the playground of an ordinary middle school in Beijing.
Thousands of students, led by their physical education teacher, are attending a special "physical education class".
They stood in neat formations, imitating the ancient and slow movements demonstrated by the disciples of Kunlun Taoist Academy on the big screen.
"Sink your Qi to the Dantian, and focus your mind on the Xuan Guan (a point on the lower abdomen)..."
"Inhale, open the Heavenly Gate..."
"One call, and the whole land is at your fingertips..."
One of them was a skinny boy who was usually weak and sickly. He would be out of breath after running 800 meters. After completing the first full cycle of movements...
Suddenly, he felt a warm current, unlike anything he had ever experienced before, rise from his lower abdomen and then flow throughout his limbs and bones.
He felt that every cell in his body was cheering and jumping for joy.
My head, which had been feeling a bit foggy from staying up late playing games, suddenly became incredibly clear.
His whole body was brimming with inexhaustible energy!
"I...I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch!"
He excitedly whispered to the classmate next to him.
His classmates, too, looked at him with the same excited and surprised eyes.
"Me too! Me too! I felt like I just heard my bones cracking!"
"This is amazing! This technique is truly incredible!"
"Now, my mom won't have to worry about my studies anymore!"
Similar scenes are playing out in every corner of China.
In a skyscraper in Lujiazui, Shanghai.
A group of financial elites, dressed in exquisite suits, were practicing the "National Body Refinement Technique" together in the company's gym during their lunch break.
They no longer discuss stock price fluctuations or market conditions.
Instead, they were enthusiastically exchanging their experiences in cultivation.
"Did you feel that 'qi'? I think I felt it just now!"
"I can feel it! It's just below my belly button! It's warm, like I'm holding a hand warmer!"
"Let me tell you, after practicing this, my energy at work in the afternoon is completely different! Before, I would get sleepy by 3 PM, but now, I feel like I could work continuously for 24 hours!"
Guangzhou, in an ordinary urban village.
A group of elderly people who had just finished square dancing hadn't dispersed yet.
Instead, they gathered together with great interest and, following along, began to mimic the movements of the teaching booklets distributed by the community.
"Old Zhang, your 'White Crane Spreads Wings' move is wrong! Your hands need to be raised a little higher!"
"Oh dear, my old arms and legs are too stiff to lift anything. But you know what, after practicing for a while, my chronic leg pain, which I've had for years, actually doesn't seem to hurt as much!"
"Absolutely! This is much more effective than those health supplements! This is issued by the government! It was passed down from a living deity on Mount Kunlun!"
For a time, the question "Have you practiced today?" replaced "Have you eaten?" and became the most popular greeting among Chinese people.
The entire country was immersed in a positive, vibrant, and enthusiastic atmosphere.
People are no longer addicted to meaningless online games.
We no longer argue endlessly over trivial matters.
In everyone's heart, a flame called "hope" was ignited.
They knew that a brand new, great era had arrived.
And each and every one of them is a participant and a witness to this era!
Kunlun Mountain, Fairy Valley.
Zhang Sanfeng was observing this thriving scene on the land of China through a huge water mirror formed from magical power.
A relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Sir, your abilities are truly boundless and profound." He stroked his long beard and exclaimed sincerely, "With just one most basic body-refining technique, you have set in motion the evolutionary wheel of the entire nation. Such extraordinary talent is beyond my comprehension."
"Master," Daoist Xuanchen stepped forward from behind him, bowing respectfully, "Another large group of cultivators has arrived outside the mountain gate, wishing to join our Kunlun sect. Among them are quite a few promising talents with excellent aptitude. What do you think, should we open the gate, or...?"
"Open." Zhang Sanfeng said without hesitation, "Master, the original intention of establishing Kunlun Academy was to spread the Dao to the world. As long as one's heart is set on China and one's character is upright, one can enter my Kunlun sect."
"However, the rules cannot be changed."
"Tell them that if they want to cultivate more advanced techniques, they must exchange them for sufficient 'merits'."
"Let them go down the mountain."
"Go, do something real for this country, for this nation."
"Yes, Master!" Xuan Chen respectfully accepted the order.
Just then, the scene on Zhang Sanfeng's water mirror suddenly changed.
They moved to a dilapidated mud-brick house in a remote mountain village.
A boy who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting cross-legged on the cold earthen bed.
His body was thin and his complexion was sallow; it was clear that he had suffered from malnutrition for many years.
But his eyes were surprisingly bright.
He was practicing the "National Body Refinement Technique," which he had learned from the old, black-and-white television in the village, over and over again.
Once, twice, ten times, a hundred times...
He seemed tireless.
Sweat soaked through his clothes, but he didn't care.
In his mind, there was only one thought.
Get stronger!
He wants to become stronger!
He wants to get out of this mountain!
He wants to go to the capital!
He wanted to give his seriously ill mother a good life!
Just when he had cultivated for who knows how many hundreds of times...
An anomaly has occurred!
Suddenly, he felt a violent surge of heat erupt from his tailbone!
That surge of heat, like a reawakened fire dragon, traveled up his spine with unstoppable momentum!
"boom!"
In the boy's mind, it seemed as if a deafening roar, like the creation of the world, resounded!
He felt that a certain constraint on his body had been completely broken!
An unprecedented, powerful force instantly filled his entire body!
He suddenly opened his eyes.
Two beams of light, visible to the naked eye, flashed from his eyes and pierced the walls of the mud-brick house, leaving two small, charred holes!
"This...this is..."
The boy stared in shock at his own hands.
He felt that he had become different.
Meanwhile, far away in the Kunlun Mountains, Zhang Sanfeng, watching this scene in the water mirror, couldn't help but tremble as he stroked his long beard.
His eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance!
"Born with...born with a Daoist physique!"
"When dragon and tiger meet, their marrow and blood are as red as mercury!"
"This...this is a once-in-a-millennium, unparalleled genius!"
He could no longer sit still and suddenly stood up from the Tai Chi stone!
"Xuan Chen!"
"Disciple is here!"
"Prepare the most solemn ceremonial guard of Kunlun!"
"Follow me down the mountain!"
"This humble Taoist priest wishes to personally go and welcome the next headmaster of my Kunlun Taoist Academy!"
