The World Has Immortals!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Zhou Na didn't mind that the three of them had already eaten halfway through, so she grabbed a set of chopsticks and started eating, practically wolfing it down.

Those who cultivate consume energy faster and therefore have a greater appetite.

She was a martial artist, not yet at the level of cultivating immortality, and had nothing to do with Grain Avoidance, so she was already starving.

But at that very moment, the evening news broadcast on television attracted the attention of almost all Hua Nation.

As is customary.

The first fifteen minutes of the Evening News Broadcast are all about major national events.

Today is no exception.

But in the next fifteen minutes, the tone changed drastically!

In the video, the two hosts are sitting upright with serious expressions.

Yesterday should have been a sunny day with dazzling shooting stars, and Xile should have been filled with happiness. But an accident touched the hearts of people all over the country.

As the Centaurus meteor shower streaked across the sky over China, three meteorites were pulled by Earth's gravity, penetrated the atmosphere, and fell in C City!

At that time, the Changge Mountain was teeming with people, and the situation was extremely dangerous!

Fortunately, Mister Lin, a special expert from the Resident Happiness Living Department, stepped in in time. Under the leadership of the Party and the people, they overcame countless difficulties and successfully intercepted the meteorite, averting a disaster that would affect the whole world!

Even so, the shockwave from the meteorite explosion damaged nearly 5,000 homes in the area.

When the incident occurred, the Seventh Vice Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department was in C City. He immediately offered his condolences to the local residents, chatting and shaking hands with them, and inquiring about the specific details.

It is understood that no one was injured in the incident, and only a dozen people were lucky enough to suffer minor injuries. All of this is thanks to Mister Lin!

Here, our station would like to express our special thanks to Mister Lin for his contributions during this crisis!

This station has learned that people across the country are very curious about who Mister Lin is, and are eager to know whether Mister Lin is a 'cultivator' or not.

Here, our station has received confirmation from the Resident Happiness Living Department that Mister Lin is indeed a cultivator and a special expert of the Resident Happiness Living Department.

In response, we immediately interviewed several senior officials from the Resident Happiness Living Department. The Minister provided a detailed response, which you will find below.

See here.

Lin·Purple Firmament's lips curled slightly...

Special Expert for the Resident Happiness Living Department?

When did we get this title?

That guy didn't tell me either!

Before she could think any further, footage related to the Minister appeared on the news broadcast... Lin·Purple Firmament was also paying attention.

She really wanted to know how the ministers and deputy Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department would explain things to the people in this situation!

In the picture, the Minister is sitting upright.

But before she could even speak, her mere presence caused a stir.

"This... this is the Minister of the Resident Happiness Living Department?!"

The residents at several nearby tables were all taken aback.

"Isn't the Minister almost eighty?!"

"I saw it on TV yesterday, what?!"

"This is clearly a middle-aged man around forty years old, right? But judging from his appearance, you can indeed see the Minister's shadow."

"Wow!!! Just like the Old Celestial Master, they've gotten younger?!"

"My god, this completely confirms the existence of cultivators!"

"Nonsense, the news already said it, and the Minister has undergone such a drastic change, what else could it be but a cultivator?!"

"I want to cultivate immortality!"

Green Mountain Town is adjacent to the University City, so many of the tenants are college students. At this moment, most of the people eating in the restaurant are also college students. After seeing the news, they were all extremely shocked.

At the same time, the Minister in the picture slowly spoke.

"Cultivators do indeed exist!"

"However, everyone should not be too anxious. The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and very few people have succeeded throughout history..."

"Never resign rashly, and never venture into remote, uninhabited areas like deep mountains. I can tell you with absolute certainty that you will not find any cultivators!"

"Traces of immortals are hard to find, as everyone knows."

"However, we are also actively looking for solutions!"

"Once a solution is found, we will start the corresponding procedures as soon as possible. At that time, everyone will have the opportunity to experience cultivation."

"The corresponding procedures include, but are not limited to: offering cultivation courses in schools across the country and setting up adult cultivation training classes."

"Please rest assured, and do not let temporary enthusiasm disrupt your current life, and do not disregard national laws, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious. Thank you!"

Seeing this, Lin·Purple Firmament gave a signal, and the group quietly left the restaurant.

Back at their lodgings, the group was somewhat surprised.

"It's a good thing you didn't show your face when you shattered the meteorite."

Zhou Na sighed, "Otherwise, you'd really be embarrassed to face people. Everyone who sees you would rush over to ask to become your apprentice."

Lin·Purple Firmament deeply agreed and nodded repeatedly.

"But what surprised me even more was that the authorities actually admitted it so readily, and even said... that they would put cultivation courses into schools?" Old Chen was quite astonished.

"They really did say that."

In fact, Lin·Purple Firmament was also somewhat surprised.

Lin Fan mentioned in the comments that one of the conditions for the collaboration was that the two of them would occasionally give open lectures at universities, which is basically preaching!

To be honest, Qi Zixiao quite enjoys this job. After all, college students here on Earth are considered top students, and giving lectures to them is a completely new experience!

But now it seems they're going to start 'cultivating immortality' from elementary school?

"However, this is actually quite reasonable and makes sense."

Zhou Na pondered, "Think about it, how many people across the country are demanding an explanation from the authorities?"

"Therefore, the authorities must provide an explanation!"

"And what happened yesterday was such a big deal that it was impossible to keep it a secret. No one would believe it if it were fake, so we can only say that there really are cultivators."

"Right!"

Zhou Xiaoran nodded. "But acknowledging the existence of cultivators will cause a lot of problems. Too many people want to cultivate immortality. Whether they quit their jobs and go to the deep mountains to find Immortal Opportunity, or buy some strange books on Taobao to practice... it's all very dangerous and troublesome."

"Therefore, the authorities need a reason to appease everyone, or rather, they need an explanation!"

"That's true."

Old Chen then realized. "Generally speaking, what people care about most are their children and themselves."

"By offering cultivation courses in schools, the problem of children cultivating immortality has been solved."

"We are opening training courses for adults to cultivate immortality... Adults can also attend if they want to cultivate immortality."

"This is already the best it can do to appease the people. Of course, good advice is hard to persuade a damned devil. If someone still wants to do something stupid after all this... then you can't blame anyone else."

"However, this only works temporarily." Lin·Purple Firmament understood the problem. After all, she was not from Earth, so her way of thinking sometimes couldn't keep up.

However, their explanations are still easy to understand, and the problem can be identified.

"If there is no movement for a long time, many people will raise questions and express dissatisfaction."

"Moreover, I'm afraid those foreign powers... won't just sit idly by, will they?"

"Definitely!"

Old Chen smiled and said, "The pressure will be immense, both internally and externally. It all depends on whether the Resident Happiness Living Department can withstand it."

"And I reckon they're even more eager than we are to Spiritual Qi Revival, and they'll probably contact you soon."

"This is not a bad thing for us."

Lin·Purple Firmament chuckled softly.

She knew better than Old Chen and the others...

Indeed, the Resident Happiness Living Department must be the most anxious to Spiritual Qi Revival! They're even more anxious than I am!

Because they are currently under tremendous pressure, they can only open cultivation training classes and courses after the Spiritual Qi Revival, and after they obtain the quick-learning cultivation techniques and a significant portion of their cultivation shows initial results.

During this period, pressure from both internal residents and external forces will only increase...

Of course, the faster we finish, the better!

That's all for now.

Zhou Na's expression suddenly became somewhat strange...

"Na-jie, what's wrong?" Lin·Purple Firmament asked, startled.

Zhou Na's expression became even stranger, and then her face turned bright red all the way to the roots of her neck. "I feel like it's leaking out!"

"What leaked out?"

Startled, Lin·Purple Firmament quickly recovered and immediately took out a Spiritual Energy Pill and fed it to her. "Don't worry about anything, just focus on circulating your Internal Energy!"

"Oh!"

Zhou Na nodded, and then immediately sat down cross-legged and began to practice her internal energy.

Beside her, vortexes of energy began to appear, swirling her hair and creating a mystical effect.

"Wow, Zhou Na is about to embark on the Immortal Path, isn't she?" Old Chen gestured with his chin, "Why haven't I made any progress?"

"No rush, no rush."

Lin·Purple Firmament laughed and said, "Once the Spiritual Qi Revival, I will definitely choose a good cultivation technique for you, sir."

"Then I'll wait!"

Old Chen grinned.

"Certainly!"

Lin·Purple Firmament chuckled, but also had some thoughts.

The Way should not be lightly transmitted!

The same applies to the law!

The simplest truth is, what if you teach this to some evil people? You'll have to bear the Karma!

Of course, such things cannot be completely avoided; there are many examples of people turning "darkened" throughout history.

"I'll have to tell the Resident Happiness Living Department later... It's okay to hold training courses, but we must investigate as thoroughly as possible."

"It's alright for kids; you can teach and guide them at the same time. But for adult training classes... I'm afraid they'd have to check their family history for generations to make sure there's no 'blemish' before they can enroll?"

"Isn't this what you call a political background check?"

What Lin·Purple Firmament didn't know was that the Resident Happiness Living Department was even more cautious in this regard than she and Lin Fan!

After all, if something really goes wrong, they are the ones who will take the blame and clean up the mess, not Lin Fan or Lin·Purple Firmament.

Background check? Absolutely necessary!

Moreover, not just anyone can cultivate immortality; first of all, you need to have the talent!

Without talent, what's the point of cultivating immortality?

About two hours later, Zhou Na got up...
