Universality of Cultivation Methods
After lying down in the specially designed recliner, once Tang Yuyang's breathing had stabilized, they first entered the large instrument to quickly examine his current physical condition, checking for any valuable data or signs of unusual changes.
He finally settled down, but the "experimental subjects" still in their respective compartments within the quiet room were still suffering, repeatedly trying and reciting scriptures, hoping to grasp the "true nature" within the stillness.
Those inside are enduring it, and those outside are enduring it too.
After the initial excitement subsided, apart from a few researchers specifically assigned to follow up on Tang Yuyang, many experts are now dutifully returning to the experimental area to continue manual observation and report editing.
Some people were even holding standard thermos cups filled with goji berries and red dates, clearly determined to stay there no matter what.
"During the short time Tang was out, did anything change inside?"
Even the elderly Professor Pan has gradually calmed down and begun to inquire about the situation of the others in the quiet room.
"Everything is fine, Professor."
The operator in front of him pointed to the display on the screen, "Like this one, the overall biological fluctuation has remained stable at the standard value of 4.37 to 4.38, with basically no changes, that is—"
"What is it?"
"He seemed to have secretly scratched his thigh just now; there was a fleeting shadow on the monitor, but I haven't had a chance to watch the playback yet, so I'm not entirely sure."
Hearing this, a slightly younger professor next to him chuckled, unscrewed the lid of his cup, and blew on the steam. "It's normal, don't be so demanding. That guy who practiced 'Everlasting Spring Technique' last time, didn't he snore too? After all, he's a modern person, not a real god."
"Take your time, these things can't be rushed."
Of course, if we ignore the fact that he's developed several small blisters on the corners of his mouth from worrying so much lately, then the old professor's statement seems quite convincing.
To be precise, the expert team, which has been working in shifts and conducting research and follow-up for two or three days outside the quiet room, is now prepared for a protracted battle.
This is, after all, a completely new system that no one has ever truly encountered before. No one has enough experience to make an accurate prediction in advance. After a few days, any progress like Tang Yuyang's is already a pleasant surprise.
Otherwise, why would these people outside have been so agitated just now?
In fact, apart from a few users who met the relevant criteria of having a clean background, suitable basic conditions, and who had strengthened their internal strength, blood and qi, and vital energy, most of the thirty testers were ordinary people who had not strengthened their Main God exchange and served as a control group.
The current situation has also proven that users who are born with the "initiation" of the Main God through cramming-style teaching, who have mastered some of the secrets of the body's meridians, and who have accumulated experience in cultivating both internal and external strength, and whose bodies naturally develop the initial foundation of internal energy, directly skip the "from nothing to something" step—their advantage is simply too great!
Within the system of the Main God Platform, these individuals, while seemingly classified as First Tier, actually only show a slight improvement over ordinary people. This is far less noticeable than simple physical enhancement or the development of superpowers. They are essentially users of a "cultivation system" that utilizes internal refinement.
It is only when actually practicing this related cultivation system that the courageous and diligent progress he demonstrates, relying on this foundation, is truly astonishing!
While other ordinary people, after consuming the sustenance, were still following the same introductory method, gradually attempting to calm their minds and enter a state of tranquility, adhering to the foundational practices before entering the practice, trying to stimulate their internal energy, to sense and capture those recently discovered "special energy particles" in the air, and to generate even a faint "qi sensation"—
Even during this process, my legs were already numb from sitting.
While also in a precious artificial Spiritual Energy environment, among these few users who possess related enhancements, there is currently no second example of someone like Tang Yuyang who has successfully guided their spiritual energy.
However, based on some "special knowledge" obtained from individual users 'Main God, and even with the monitoring of modern high-precision instruments built using some rudimentary metaphysical methods, the actual result displayed was that more than one person inside had begun to spontaneously and slowly absorb and exhale internal and external Spiritual Energy to nourish themselves!
Clearly, regardless of whether they took the wrong path, it proves that they have at least vaguely grasped some of the basics and have shown the slightest signs of getting started!
This inevitably brings mixed feelings of joy and worry.
The good thing is that at least there's been some progress. After all, when doing experiments, what's often most worrying isn't simply going down the wrong path, but rather having no reaction at all. Even if it turns out to be a wrong path or a dead end, progress is still valuable experience and a real step forward!
What's worrying is that, even Tang Yuyang, whose foundation is the most consistent and whose performance is the best under the theoretically optimal "Spiritual Energy environment" mentioned in the cultivation method, had to enter this quiet room six times and make repeated efforts before he finally achieved this seemingly successful case.
As for the ordinary test takers, there has been no real progress to date.
Upon comparing all these details, it becomes quite clear that the probability of an ordinary person being able to cultivate to the point of mastery on their own is probably very low.
In other words, this technique, which costs over four figures to exchange at the Main God's place, has no value spent on building the user's physical body. The technique itself is theoretically "worth a fortune," and it is even clearly marked as a "low-difficulty Daoist technique." Just like the six or seven "techniques" provided by different Main God User that were tested before, its universality is still far from meeting the experimental group's intended goal!
This is very disappointing.
Even for many middle-aged and elderly upper-class individuals, the most important part of this expensive "True Method of Nourishing the Origin and Returning to the Fetal Breathing Technique" is the volume on "Embryonic Breath Gathering Spirit," which is said to have the effects of prolonging life and invigorating qi and blood.
But for those of them who are engaged in scientific research, the most crucial thing is the most intuitive and theoretically cost-effective "Big Dipper Primordial Astral Force," which is the opening volume of the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining course. This is the main direction of their current research!
Ultimately, relying solely on the "inheritance and indoctrination" of the Main God means that the fate of the system is in the hands of others. Moreover, how many people are there? How many Main God User currently have?
Official scientific research emphasizes independence and self-reliance, and aims for a universal approach that is accessible to the general public and future generations. Only in this way can it achieve sufficient practical value in terms of commercialization and application.
Especially its crucial significance for social stability!
Therefore, even if, as Tang Yuyang just revealed, this true skill is indeed worth every penny, and a complete cycle of internal energy circulation is far more effective than the basic general-purpose internal energy cultivation method with its own energy circulation path, then...
However, if the related difficulties, or rather, its specific applicability, cannot be improved, then objectively speaking, its value may not be considered very high.
After all, with the current unrest subtly escalating, the country urgently needs a sufficiently large-scale achievement of stability to serve as a "reassurance" and achieve a certain transitional purpose.
With a sigh, after confirming that the test subjects inside were all in stable condition, the senior professors exchanged a knowing, somber glance and returned to their seats. They then joined the other experts, who were also at least in their fifties or sixties, in studying the ancient anatomical diagrams, Daoist classics, and cultivation manuals laid out before them.
With so many things to do, inside and out, who can possibly have a moment to spare?
