" Director Li, all 2,851 Spiritual Power detection devices have been deployed."
"They are distributed across 35 provincial-level administrative regions in my country, specifically down to 2,851 county-level administrative regions."
"And none of these testing devices reacted..."
Bureau 749 Base, in the main conference room.
Many workshop directors and high-ranking officials gathered here.
A bespectacled clerk soldier meticulously reported on the key points and progress of his work in recent days.
"However... the monitoring equipment inside the base shows that the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy is indeed rising daily."
"Even in the base space furthest from the Spirit Soil, there are extremely rare Spiritual Qi particles."
"That means... Spiritual Qi resurgence could very well be happening."
These words caused a slight stir among the researchers.
Clench your fists, sit up straight.
Some people in the crowd seemed to know the contents of the subsequent report, and their expressions did not show much excitement.
Instead, a hint of solemnity was evident.
As expected, the soldier continued to speak.
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became heavy.
"But after accurate testing and analysis by our research colleagues..."
"The increase in Spiritual Qi within our base is less than one in ten thousand."
"Based on the information previously relayed by Comrade Lu Li, and our deductions, theoretically..."
"It would take at least 300-500 years for the base to reach... the Spiritual Qi concentration of the outer sect of the Azure Pool Sect."
"The premise is that the Spiritual Qi revival continues."
Upon hearing the soldier's report, everyone fell silent.
His expression held a hint of disappointment.
Even inside bases with Spirit Soil, the concentration of Spiritual Qi is so scarce.
It's uncertain how long it will take for the entire Great Xia territory to have usable Spiritual Qi...
Of course, some researchers have long calculated that the 'revival of Spiritual Qi ' is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.
Throughout Blue Star's history, major climate changes have invariably occurred over millennia or tens of thousands of years.
The cooling process of the new generation transformed the greenhouse-like Blue Star into an ice-chamber -Blue Star over a full fifty million years.
The Carboniferous-Permian glaciation lasted for 80 million years.
Even with the rapid mutation type, the glacial melting period lasted for thousands of years.
Moreover, the revival of Spiritual Qi is a massive upheaval that could alter the course of civilization.
"Comrades, let's discuss this: the recovery of Spiritual Qi will undoubtedly take a long time."
"During this period, how should our Great Xia face this opportunity and challenge?"
Li Yuanchao's stern voice rang out.
There was not a trace of discouragement or disappointment on their faces.
As a veteran, he has an extremely long-term vision.
Matters concerning the Great Xia can never be accomplished in one generation.
Their strategic vision has always been three or even five generations ahead.
Each generation has its own mission.
What their generation needs to do is lay a solid foundation for future generations!
" Director Li, I have a guess or opinion."
A climatology research expert slowly stood up.
"Speaking."
"In climatology, there's a saying that... environmental change doesn't happen overnight."
"It's often due to the accumulation of massive amounts of data that changes are accelerated."
"In other words... is it possible that the Spirit Soil that Comrade Lu Li sent back only turned on the switch for ' Spiritual Qi revival'?"
"But if we want to accelerate the pace and concentration of Spiritual Qi revival, then... we'll need more Spirit Vein!"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiwen and the others were slightly taken aback.
They didn't know much about climatology.
However, I still understand the fundamental academic principle that quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
After a moment's thought, it suddenly seemed quite possible.
All eyes turned to Li Yuanchao, who was sitting in the center.
"Hmm, this comrade's viewpoint is quite plausible, but it still needs to be verified."
"This doesn't conflict with our mission plan."
"In subsequent strategic reports submitted to Comrade Lu Li, it can be reiterated that the Spirit Vein remain a key objective..."
Upon hearing Li Yuanchao's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Li Yuanchao picked up a special document in front of him and slowly began to speak.
"Besides the Spiritual Qi Revival, there's another matter we need to discuss at today's meeting."
"Recently, the country conducted military exercises to divert the attention of other countries."
"The purpose of the performance was perfectly achieved in the end, and we also gained a batch of supplies as a bonus."
"However... this matter has generated a particularly strong reaction domestically."
"The public's emotional reaction to sudden events can be terrifying, therefore..."
After a slight pause, Li Yuanchao handed the report to the soldier beside him.
Let them distribute it.
Each researcher and official received a paper document.
"Therefore, we need to plan ahead, in case the Spiritual Qi truly revives in the future."
"If cultivators truly exist in China, then... how can we make this more natural and accessible to the general public?"
"As you all know, if we don't take preventative measures early, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the social structure!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
As the words fell, the sound of pages turning filled the air.
A huge document title appeared before everyone's eyes.
[Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Great Xia Self-Cultivation Outline (Trial)]
[Article 1: In order to enhance the physical and mental well-being of the nation, to scientifically assess and effectively monitor the physical fitness level of the nation, and to further standardize and unify the standards for physical and mental well-being (levels and stages)]
[This regulation is formulated in accordance with the Great Xia Self-Cultivation Affairs Administration (hereinafter referred to as the Cultivation Administration ) to ensure the orderly cultivation, tempering, and development of the national physical health.]
[Article 2: Level (Period) Standards]
[Self-cultivation standards are divided into five levels from low to high: Level 1 Nourishing the Body, Level 2 Strengthening the Body, Level 3 Gathering the Mind, Level 4 Endurance and Adaptation, and Level 5 Qi Introduction.]
[See Appendix 1 for the corresponding age and required seniority for each level (phase)]
[...]
"Is this... is this a document to be released publicly?"
"Isn't this... a little too fast!"
"And... is the Cultivation Administration really going to be established now?"
A high-ranking official in charge of people's livelihoods appeared slightly nervous.
It seems they are worried that this document will cause a huge reaction once it comes into the public eye.
The other officials were the same, each one frowning in deep thought.
"We'll talk about the Cultivation Administration later; let's discuss this document first."
"Comrades, I know you are worried, but don't forget..."
"You hesitate and are surprised because you know the inside story, but what if someone who doesn't know the truth looked at this document?"
"In their eyes, it's just a standard physical fitness assessment."
Everyone suddenly understood Li Yuanchao's answer.
After realizing it, I did find it made sense.
but...
A younger cadre's pupils constricted sharply when he saw the contents of the appendix at the last level of the document's classification standards.
His voice trembled with shock as he asked, "Director Li... Director Li, are you really not going to change the annotation for the fifth level of Qi Introduction?"
"Gathering the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, cultivating body and mind... So straightforward!!"
