Examination of Modern Immortal Cultivation

This is not a novel, this is a how-to. Lin Nian, a junior student in the Chinese Department, discovered a Ming Dynasty edition of the Tao Te Ching in an ancient book library. Someone in the sky wrote an annotation in small regular script - "How can you be without separation if you hold one in your arms? It's not a spiritual metaphor. Test method: sit quietly at child's time, touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, and keep your mind an inch below the navel, waiting for Qi to arise." He copied this sentence from the ancient book and tried it. After two weeks, his sleep time had dropped to five hours and his energy had doubled. A month later, he "saw" his meridians with his eyes closed. Two months later, he could sense the presence of a person 100 meters away. He discovered a truth buried by modern civilization: cultivating immortality is real. But it's different from any novel you've ever read. The practitioners are not gods, but a group of hermits forced into the mountains by electromagnetic pollution. There are less than 10,000 beginners in the world, and most people are stuck on the first level. Chen Dehou has been practicing for thirty years and has not even entered the door. Su Jing is an acupuncturist at a community hospital and is already a high-ranking figure in the circle. There is no immortal gate, no spiritual root test, and no three-year agreement. There are only scattered annotations in ancient books, spiritual energy interfered by 5G base stations, and a business card of the "Special Affairs Coordination Office" hidden under the Cultural Relics Bureau. Lin Nian wanted to find the "Xuanzhulu" that had been lost for thousands of years. But he soon discovered that he wasn't the only one who wanted to find it. Some people go crazy for it, some people die for it, and some people will do anything to prevent it from appearing in this world. If you think cultivating immortality is real, then it should exist like this.
