The difficulties faced in promoting universal cultivation! Paving the way in advance, the Body Strengthening Technique is a magical transformation of gymnastics?

The eighteen Old Daoist Priests with white beards were respectfully escorted out of the conference room by dedicated personnel.

Along the way, Zhang Qingfeng was so excited his hands were trembling. He looked at his Fellow Daoists beside him and immediately spoke:

“Fellow Daoists, I have comprehended! The Ancestral Master has manifested! The nation wants us to practice Alchemy, and it’s the real deal! The great revival of the Daoist sect is today! That bunch of monks next door who dabble in finance ultimately have a small perspective!”

As soon as he spoke, this group of excited Daoist Priests instantly erupted in an uproar.

“The President is awesome! We’ve directly entered the national core project team this time!”

“Hahaha, I knew it! At critical moments, we must rely on our Daoist sect! Purity and non-action are the Great Dao!”

“I can already imagine how future history books will record our achievements today!”

“...”

The Old Daoist Priests were beaming, as if they had already seen the glorious future of the Daoist sect surpassing Buddhism and returning to its Peak.

Not only did they have no complaints about the upcoming “underground work,” but each of them was as excited as if they had been injected with a stimulant… Once the Daoist Priests left, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn again.

The Grand Elder looked at the Fourth Elder, who was in charge of the economy, and tapped his finger lightly on the table: “Tell me, if we initiate a nationwide Cultivation plan now and provide financial subsidies, can the nation sustain it?”

The Fourth Elder forced a grimace that was uglier than crying: “Difficult… basically impossible.”

“Our country has too large a population base, and this expenditure would be an astronomical figure. More critically, based on the Kunlun Squad’s consumption, the medicinal herbs required for Cultivation cannot keep up with our country’s existing reserves at all!”

The impatient Second Elder slammed the table upon hearing this: “Then what do we do? We can’t just stand by and watch! Comrade Lin Mo can’t wait!”

“Unless the yield of those medicinal herbs can increase several hundredfold overnight, as simple as growing cabbages. Otherwise… there’s no good solution,” the Fourth Elder spread his hands, looking helpless.

The conference room fell silent.

Each medicinal herb required for the Body Tempering Realm was expensive, and their growth cycles were long; how could their production simply increase just by wishing for it?

“Like this,” the Grand Elder broke the silence, “immediately gather the nation’s top agricultural scientists and form a special task force. Have them put aside all current projects and focus entirely on overcoming this challenge, ensuring they improve those medicinal herbs, shorten their growth cycles, and increase both yield and potency!”

The Third Elder frowned deeply: “This is a distant solution; it won’t solve the immediate problem.”

“Then let’s start with the military!” the Second Elder’s voice was firm and powerful, “Our Great Xia’s million strong army has top-notch will and Physique! Let’s first allocate all resources to them! A million Body Tempering Realm Cultivators, I refuse to believe we can’t significantly boost Comrade Lin Mo’s strength!”

“I agree,” the Fourth Elder nodded, “You can’t get fat with one bite. Prioritize the military then the civilians, and proceed steadily. It won’t be too late to popularize it nationwide once the agricultural research institute has results.”

“Hmm, that makes sense,” the Grand Elder expressed his agreement, but he then raised a new issue. “Even so, we must prepare in advance for nationwide popularization. You are aware of the difficulty of the movements in the Basic Body Forging Art. For ordinary people, it’s simply a ‘skill that makes people quit’.”

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder deeply agreed:

“Indeed, young people today run 800 meters as if they are about to die; making them practice this directly would probably send them all to the ICU.”

“We cannot wait until the plan is officially implemented only to be hindered by this step.”

“This is indeed a big problem that needs to be solved!”

After a moment of thought, the Second Elder tentatively suggested: “How about we ask Yue Yatou? Let her simplify and adapt that set of complex and difficult Body Tempering movements into a set of calisthenics, and then promote it nationwide!”

“This way, it can both strengthen the body, improve the national Physique, and allow them to familiarize themselves with the Cultivation Technique movements in advance to lay a foundation for formal Cultivation later. It’s a win-win!”

“Good idea!” the Grand Elder’s eyes lit up: “Let’s do it! Call Xiyue over!”

Soon, a bewildered Lin Xiyue was called into the conference room.

“Calisthenics?” Listening to the Four Elders’ idea, Lin Xiyue’s eyes widened, feeling as if her hearing was faulty. “No, Grandpas, are you serious? Besides primary and middle school students, who still does that stuff?”

“Yatou, don’t worry about whether anyone does it!” The Second Elder, with a look that said “you’re still young, you don’t understand,” leaned forward, “Just tell me, are there any technical problems?”

“Hmm… simplifying the movements while retaining the core force exertion techniques shouldn’t be difficult,” Lin Xiyue pondered, pinching her chin, “It’s just… I’m afraid it won’t catch on, and everyone will find it awkward…”

“Don’t worry!” The Second Elder patted his chest confidently, “We’ll handle the promotion! You just need to create it! It needs to be simple and easy to learn, suitable for all ages, but the effect must also be as good as possible!”

Lin Xiyue looked at the Four Elders’ “it’s all up to you” gazes and couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

Moreover, she understood that the Four Elders were doing this for her older brother, so they wanted to advance the process of nationwide Cultivation as much as possible.

Thus, she was not negligent and readily nodded in agreement.

“Alright, leave it to me! Seeing that you’re all quite urgent, I’ll go research it now!”

And so, Lin Xiyue turned and threw herself into this unprecedented work of “Body Tempering Cultivation Technique magically modified into calisthenics”… Time flew by, and soon, two days later.

A bombshell news story landed at the top of the trending searches on all major platforms.
