Even if the incantations and techniques were genuine, there's no spiritual energy to cultivate with.

With more people practicing cultivation, researchers have long since placed detectors all over the world to monitor where spiritual energy is present in real time.

Once spiritual energy appears, they will definitely be the first to know. They will then set up an array to hide the area of ​​spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating, which will basically allow them to control the situation.

Many foreign netizens, after practicing their skills in the virtual world, excitedly posted videos to show off. In the videos, they were so excited that their faces turned red and their eyes shone like the sun, which attracted more foreigners to rush to buy gaming pods and helmets and join this wave.

The official Weibo account of Dongda Cultivation issued a special statement advising people not to blindly follow or believe the cultivation methods described in the virtual reality section.

However, no one believed it. Everyone thought that Dongda University was trying to deceive them because they were afraid that everyone would start practicing cultivation.

Gaming pods and helmets sold even better, almost sold out!

America tried to control tariffs and raise prices, basically wanting to make money from the gaming pods and helmets, but public opinion was too strong, and they ultimately failed to profit from it.

At the same time, sales of mobile homes also began to surge.

Portable houses are incredibly appealing to cultivators—after cultivating, the routes they can take are no longer limited to highways. They no longer need to follow highways back to the city; they can go to any mountainous area without highways. In this way, portable houses become extremely useful.

When Zhou Yan'an's family found that posting on Douyin was ineffective, they personally appeared on camera to accuse Ruan Mianmian of abusing her power to prohibit their family and netizens from practicing cultivation. This is unacceptable. They hope that everyone will join them in accusing Ruan Mianmian and applying to the state for fair and just treatment.

A large number of people on the blacklist did support them, but this group was too small and was quickly overwhelmed by the massive number of netizens.

The official Weibo account of Dongda Cultivation directly revealed the criminal record of Zhou Yan'an's family—bribery and bullying—telling netizens that the Zhou family's inability to cultivate was not due to Ruan Mianmian abusing her power, but rather because they were restricted by laws and regulations.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan'an's family was filled with resentment, but there was nothing they could do.

They have no official support, no netizens support them, so what can they do?

"Does this mean we can never cultivate again and can only live to be a hundred years old at most, like before?" Zhou Zihan was very unwilling.

Zhou Yan'an grabbed his hair with both hands, his eyes bloodshot: "What else can we do? We've tried everything."

He was much older than Zhou Zihan, and he was more afraid of growing old. He wanted to keep living, but what could he do?

Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth: "How could Ruan Mianmian be so heartless? The authorities value her so much. If she just said a word, they would definitely let us cultivate."

"Yes, how could she be so heartless!" Zhou Yan'an was burning with anger. He stood up and paced back and forth like a trapped beast, desperately trying to think of a solution. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with one. So he looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "If you had cared about her even a little bit back then, none of this would have happened!"

How did she become a mother?

He didn't raise the child, nor did he carry her for ten months to give birth. It's understandable that he was indifferent to Ruan Mianmian, but how could his wife, as Ruan Mianmian's biological mother, who carried her for a full ten months, be so heartless?

Doesn't she ever think about the feeling of being connected to her by blood when the child was in her belly for ten months?

Why can't you be nicer and gentler to Ruan Mianmian?

Zhou Danhan is not as good-looking as Ruan Mianmian, nor is she as good at studying. In fact, there is nothing about her that can compare to Ruan Mianmian. How can the wife completely favor Zhou Danhan and suppress Ruan Mianmian?

Upon hearing Zhou Yan'an's words, both Zhou Zihan and Zhou Yihan subconsciously looked at Mrs. Zhou with resentful eyes.

Mrs. Zhou felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave when she was stared at by three pairs of identical eyes. She couldn't even stand up and slumped onto the sofa: "How can you blame me? Didn't you treat Ruan Mianmian badly back then? At least I sent her money every month. You did nothing, and you even scolded her for Zhou Danhan's sake... How come it's my fault in the end?"

Even if we were wrong, we all made the mistake together, so how can we blame only her?

When Su Jingchen went out to eat, he was dragged into an alley and beaten up.

He fought back desperately, tearing off the masks of the people beating him. When he realized they were his former classmates and alumni, he was filled with rage: "Damn it, you've gone too far! How dare you hit me!"

"So what if we hit you? Do you still think you're the glamorous Young Master Zhou you used to be? Damn it, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have bullied Ruan Mianmian at all!"

"We can't engage in virtual reality, we can't cultivate immortality, all because of you, you good-for-nothing! So what if we beat you up? We're only being merciful by not killing you!"

After they finished cursing, they gave Su Jingchen a severe beating before leaving together.

After leaving, he had nowhere to go and could only wander around the streets.

Unable to log into the virtual world, they have a lot of time to spare and don't know where to spend it, so they just wander around the streets.

Thinking about how they couldn't cultivate immortality, they hated Su Jingchen and Zhou Danhan, the two instigators, to the core.

Thinking of Zhou Danhan, they discussed it among themselves and decided to find out when Zhou Danhan would be released. Once she was released, they would beat her up every now and then.

They're already in this state; they can't get any worse. They might as well take revenge and have some fun.

The heads of state from various countries held a conference in the capital for half a month, and the results were quite gratifying.

All countries bordering Tokyo University have returned most of their land, with the area returned depending on the extent of the land's expansion during different dynasties in Tokyo's history.

Countries that do not border the University of Tokyo return most of their historical artifacts or send away most of the resources listed by the University of Tokyo.

Dongda University promised to provide the cultivation techniques for the first three levels of Qi Refining, but only provided the techniques, not the teaching methods or the site selection.

The countries were quite dissatisfied with this, but the University of Tokyo simply shrugged and said, "We can refuse the exchange!"

America and the other countries immediately backed down: "No, no, no, we'll trade!"

After the contract was signed, all the countries immediately got busy.

Ruan Mianmian went to check on the latest batch of people who had won the bid to participate in cultivation and found that everyone was very enthusiastic and cultivated very seriously, but their diligence was far less than that of soldiers and scientists.

Yu Qingqing shrugged: "You've noticed too, haven't you? Apart from a few people, many are not diligent enough, and there are a few who are quite lazy."

“It’s like studying.” Ruan Mianmian shrugged. “Everyone knows that if you study hard, get into a good university, you can get a good job and earn more money in the future. But only a group of people are willing to work hard for it. There is another group of people who find it boring and tedious and refuse to study.”

They've already been given the opportunity; if they don't cherish it, that's their problem.
