Little Chen, Run a Simulation for Me

Lakes and mountains gleam in the warm breeze, and spring flowers bloom everywhere in the Spring City.

Yunnan Province, known as the Spring City," has always been famous for its warm climate, with no sweltering heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The scenery is beautiful, and even the trees lining the main roads are covered in blossoms during their flowering season.

Especially in Xishan District, the green mountains stretch endlessly, the streams flow like ribbons, and the lush tree canopies are like Cangyun dotting the mountains.

Numerous ancient buildings, partially hidden by the tree canopy, reveal only fragments of their structures, their rooftops and eaves gleaming in the breeze, their copper bells ringing crisply.

As the morning mist was dispelled by the sunlight, groups of people wearing sports vests emerged from the various hotels at the foot of the mountain.

Over their sports vests, they wore another heavy, military-green vest, like a bulletproof vest, made up of hard, plate-like blocks.

Many people who normally breathe calmly and have a long, steady breath find that putting on this peculiar vest is like wearing a mask of pain.

Regardless of gender or age, the muscles around their mouths twitched slightly, and their faces began to flush red.

A woman in her forties with a scarred face and short hair clenched her fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and muttered to herself through gritted teeth.

"Damn, I've worn this so many times, and I still can't stand it every time I put it on."

This is a new product from Chang'an Institute of Science and Technology, the Black Tortoise Qi Refining Armor, which is said to have been inspired by the torture instruments of the Long Continent Kingdom.

Once you put on this thing and actively infuse it with your internal energy, demonstrating your usual energy circulation route, the thing will remember the timing and acupoints of the wearer's internal energy flow, and release electric shocks to the corresponding locations.

To continue practicing and tempering one's energy channels under such interference is truly an extremely difficult task.

Moreover, the initial finished product of the Black Tortoise Qi Refining Armor looked exactly like a large tortoise shell.

In Chang'an, many young and middle-aged martial arts trainees have recently been wearing tortoise shells, traversing mountains and valleys, swimming and running.

This group of people in Spring City is different.

The Big Dipper Soul-Returning Grotto-Heaven has recently moved to Spring City. Those who are assigned to train with the Grotto-Heaven are all outstanding individuals selected from all over the country.

Some of them are even senior figures in the martial arts circle.

They secretly conspired and voluntarily paid the Chang'an Institute of Science and Technology to modify the appearance of their training armor.

The Academy of Sciences also considered that the tortoise shell version is made of hard material, and that the probability of damage is relatively high if the armor is used to withstand the attacks of these highly skilled masters.

Therefore, the kind-hearted researchers added more Curse Ore to the revised version, creating a plate armor vest that combines both strength and flexibility.

The interference it causes to the meridians is far greater than that of the tortoise shell version.

These martial artists from Spring City have to wear this kind of clothing when they go up the mountain every day.

As they walked, some people in the crowd began to reveal sinister smiles.

When you first put on the plate armor vest, it's very uncomfortable, but once you get used to it, it's a really enjoyable feeling.

These people were actually just trying to laugh, but at that moment, they were even channeling their energy into the meridians of their faces, making their smiles appear very powerful.

After climbing the mountain, everyone formed a long queue and walked towards the cliff railing.

Yungu sat in a chair, holding a seventeen-meter-long alloy fishing rod in his right hand, which stretched out over the cliff.

An alloy wire hangs from the end of the fishing rod, disappearing into the sea of clouds, its tail unseen.

In perfect unison, everyone jumped onto the railing, leaped outwards, and grabbed the alloy wire.

The first person had just grabbed the thread when the second person jumped over. Both of them grabbed the thread with one hand and suddenly struck out with their palms.

Their grappling skills were truly exceptional; they deflected more than a dozen moves in an instant. For a few moments, their hands slipped from the alloy threads as they parried the attacks, causing their figures to drop, but they quickly made their move again to grab the threads once more.

Almost every couple who jumps over the railing is in this situation.

However, some used grappling techniques, while others used palm strikes, finger strikes, and exquisite leg techniques.

Some of these people actually possessed quite profound skills, but they had not yet mastered the Taboo and were unable to levitate.

In addition, the plate armor vests restricted their skills, preventing them from using even their light footwork freely. Under these circumstances, exchanging blows with each other was an extremely dangerous affair.

Yungu took two gulps of wine from a bottle in his left hand, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully sensed the situation of the fight between these people with his right hand.

In case someone were to fall off the cliff, he could naturally divert some of his power from the alloy wire to wrap them up.

"Wow, you guys are practicing martial arts so elaborately these days."

Chu Tianshu's cheerful voice came from the mountaintop as he strolled towards the seats in Yungu.

Although he joked, Chu Tianshu's eyes were full of admiration.

First, they had to walk up a section of the mountain to get used to the plate armor vest, and then, under these constraints, they engaged in thrilling sparring.

For martial artists, this kind of evenly matched sparring is the best way to stimulate their inspiration and unleash their emotions.

Yungu turned his head and exclaimed happily, "You're back from Americas?"

"What Americas? I came back from Fusang."

Chu Tianshu was holding a lunchbox, with Fang Jun beside him. He introduced Fang Jun to Yungu and casually tossed the lunchbox into Yungu's hands.

"I had eel rice in Tokyo last night, and it was really good. I figured I'd be coming to Grotto-Heaven anyway, and you old-fashioned guy, you probably've never had eel before, so I'll bring you some."

"Oh?"

Yungu placed the lunchbox on his lap, lifted the lid with his left hand, and grabbed a thick piece of fish.

Since it was brought by Chu Tianshu, it was naturally enveloped in vital energy, and its temperature and freshness remained largely unchanged; it was still piping hot when you tasted it.

The outer layer has a barbecue aroma and the sweetness of the sauce; when you bite into it, a rich flavor fills your mouth.

"So this is an eel. Back when we were fighting the Fusang in Goryeo, I overheard those short guys talking about it."

Yungu chewed something and nodded slightly.

"I heard that this thing is a delicacy enjoyed by high-ranking nobles where they live. There were a few junior officers who defected to their lord because he was good at grilling eel and was happy to share."

Fang Jun laughed and said, "Currently, most of the eels in Fusang are actually imported from Fujian and Guangdong provinces in China."

"In order to benefit Fusang's own eel farming, they introduced more than 100 regulations in 2006, which were intended to crack down on our eel business. However, those testing regulations did not ultimately prove difficult for our farmers."

Chu Tianshu exclaimed in surprise, "Is that so?"

Yesterday they ran down from Mount Fuji to find something to eat and found a large 24-hour hotel.

That's why there are so many "Immortal" in the Fusang culinary world.

In the Mount Fuji area, amidst constant artillery fire and countless corpses, the restaurant owners, oblivious to the thunder outside, continued cooking as usual.

Because of the large number of people, the only high-end and readily available option there was eel rice.

After Chu Tianshu ordered the food, everyone had only been eating for a short while when Jon started receiving a series of phone calls. The Americas troops stationed there were also quite troubled by the harassment and protests from Fusang, and they consulted Jon for instructions.

When the phone rang, I learned that the Battle of Mount Fuji was already over.

Aside from eating, Chu Tianshu spent his time chatting with Jon and Chen Taozhi about future plans; they didn't discuss the topic of eel at the time.

"However, eels are a strange thing. They spawn near the Mariana Trench and then die in the sea. The eel larvae are carried downstream by ocean currents to freshwater areas, where they continue to grow."

Currently, eel fry can only be caught from the sea; they cannot be directly bred in fish farms.

Fang Jun spoke of these things as if they were his own treasures.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but recall that when he first went to the Macau, Fang Jun was very knowledgeable about the Macau cuisine.

It seems that Fang Jun's expertise in the culinary world is currently superior to his.

"Oh, so this thing is currently being researched by our own people."

Yungu chewed and chewed, and in no time he had finished all the eel meat, leaving the rice aside.

"So you've come here on important business, haven't you? To bring Fang Jun here for cultivation? And he's going in today?"

Fang Jun smiled and shook his head, "Although my mental barrier has been broken, I have inherited a banner, which I need to consolidate for a period of time before I can try to enter the Grotto-Heaven to break through."

Chu Tianshu chuckled softly.

"I'm the one going in today."

Yungu was quite surprised. "Isn't the Grotto-Heaven of great use to you?"

"I've heard that you've already achieved Double Leakless, while even though Daoist Priest Chen is the master of Grotto-Heaven, he's only just achieved the Leakless Mystic Art. There aren't many backlashes he can help you resolve."

Chu Tianshu said, "I'm not here to try and break through to the Triple Leakless Realm; I'm here to open up a new dantian."

The Grotto-Heaven that Chen Ying inherited is called "Big Dipper Soul-Returning Seven Po Heavenly Grotto," which also emphasizes the wonders of the three souls Seven Souls.

Chu Tianshu received several sharing sessions with Chen Ying in Busan and the Golden Triangle, where Chen Ying recounted the feelings of the Grotto-Heaven master about the Grotto-Heaven site.

This feeling wasn't about any specific technique, and after hearing it, it didn't seem to have any immediate effect on Chu Tianshu.

However, when Chu Tianshu later organized the cultivation techniques, he would more or less refer to some of the artistic conceptions within them.

The specific method for cultivating the Seven Souls Dantian was developed using materials from Evil Spirit such as the "Mountain Fire Demon Envoy".

However, the concept of related practices originated from Chen Ying's shared experience of the Grotto-Heaven.

Therefore, after pacifying Mount Fuji, Chu Tianshu did not plan to return to San Francisco and simply Helai.

Helai then sent a plane to bring him to Spring City so he could Grotto-Heaven.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The very first time we start with the Seven Souls Dantian, we need to set the tone perfectly in order to lay a solid foundation."

Chu Tianshu said, "Therefore, I will cultivate my first soul in the Seven Po Cave-Heaven, succeeding and then abandoning it, abandoning it and then cultivating it again, simulating this process several times."

If he rashly attempts to break through the Triple Leakless and fails or loses control, Chen Ying truly cannot help him resolve such a backlash.

However, if it's just about helping him resolve the backlash from a new dantian, that should be more than enough.

This ensures that he won't actually get injured during each simulated retraining session.
