41: The limit of talent

“So, the supernatural phenomena that have frequently appeared online in recent years are real, not AI videos?”

“Since there’s Qi Revival and talent Awakening, are there also Cultivation Techniques? Are the myths and legends real too?”

“After we practice Martial Arts, can we become as strong as you and join the Special Administration Bureau?”

…In the living room, after Yang Dian’s explanation, the older ones, like his maternal uncles He Hai and He Jiang, were still questioning reality.

Those around Yang Dian’s age, such as his cousin He Zhiqiang and his older cousin He Li, were already gathered around him, envisioning a beautiful future.

The younger ones, like his five or six-year-old younger cousins, were currently surrounding Yang Lele, listening to her brag about discovering and catching a colorful jellyfish.

Seeing them gasp in surprise from time to time, it was clear Yang Lele had them completely fooled.

Yang Dian looked around at his entire family in the room, then turned to He Zhiqiang and He Li, who had expectant looks on their faces:

“Whether one can cultivate to immortality, I don’t know.”

“But I feel that if Martial Arts are cultivated to their extreme, there isn’t much difference from cultivating to immortality.”

“As for the rumors circulating online, most of them are still false.”

“The true messages that haven’t been censored are intentionally released by the higher-ups to raise the public’s threshold.”

“Doing this will make it easier for ordinary people to accept news like Qi Revival and everyone potentially Awakening when the time comes to announce it.”

“As for wanting to join the Special Administration Bureau…”

“Honestly, it’s not easy to join the Special Administration Bureau by just practicing Martial Arts.”

“But besides the Special Administration Bureau, there’s also the Martial Security Bureau.”

“The Wuan Bureau personnel in the Martial Security Bureau are basically all ancient Martial Artists. Cousin, if you want to test for Wuan Bureau, the possibility might be slightly higher…”

…To entertain her family, Yangs Mother specifically went to the market in the afternoon and bought a huge table of dishes.

Unfortunately, under the bombardment of news like ‘Qi Revival,’ ‘anomalous creatures,’ and ‘Martial Arts can reach the gods,’ except for the two little ones who ate happily, Yang Dian’s maternal uncles and the others found the large table of dishes as tasteless as chewing wax.

After the meal, Yang Dian had his two maternal uncles take pictures of the Cultivation Technique with their phones.

At the same time, Yang Dian’s maternal aunt, who had been conflicted all evening, couldn’t help but ask:

“Can we really not tell anyone else?”

Facing his maternal aunt’s conflicted expression, Yang Dian nodded firmly:

“No.”

“I can tell you because I joined the Special Administration Bureau and obtained a small-scale Martial Arts transmission authority.”

“If you truly want to transmit it, then practice Martial Arts diligently.”

“Once you master ancient Martial Arts and join the Martial Security Bureau or the Special Administration Bureau, won’t you have the authority to transmit Martial Arts?”

“Arbitrarily transmitting Martial Arts without authority will lead to investigation by the Special Administration Bureau and the Martial Security Bureau.”

Realizing the implications, both maternal aunts nodded:

“Alright, we understand. We’ll keep this matter to ourselves and won’t tell anyone.”

Seeing that they truly understood the importance of the issue, Yang Dian then looked at his second maternal uncle, He Jiang:

“Also, Second Uncle, when you go fishing, don’t go too deep into the sea.”

“There are far more mutated creatures in the sea than on land. If you encounter an accident, there will be no one to help, and nowhere to escape.”

He Jiang looked hesitant:

“But you know the situation at sea.”

“The fish in the nearshore have basically been caught, and to get a good catch, you have to go to the deep sea.”

Yang Dian shook his head:

“Second Uncle, that’s where you’re mistaken.”

“After marine creatures become stronger, it’s inevitable that they will cause chaos in the ocean.”

“This sea will sooner or later become inaccessible.”

As he spoke, Yang Dian looked at his maternal uncle, He Hai:

“First Uncle, didn’t you lease two mountains and plant dozens of acres of medicinal herbs?”

“I think you can lease a few more mountains and plant more medicinal herbs.”

“Especially those medicinal herbs that replenish Qi and blood, you must plant a lot.”

“ National Martial Arts (Everyone practicing Martial Arts) is a stage that our Huaxia will inevitably go through.”

“To practice Martial Arts, a large amount of resources must be expended.”

“What resources?”

“Meat and medicinal herbs!”

“I’m certain that in the near future, the price of medicinal herbs will definitely have some room for increase.”

“Even with macroscopic regulation from the higher-ups, the profit will definitely be better than now.”

“At least there won’t be a shortage of buyers.”

After explaining his thoughts, Yang Dian then looked at his second maternal uncle, He Jiang:

“Second Uncle, why don’t you lease mountain land with First Uncle and plant medicinal herbs?”

He Jiang was somewhat moved by what Yang Dian said.

There was no other way; Yang Dian’s performance today was simply too astonishing.

He was an ancient Martial Artist, a member of the Special Administration Bureau, and could even catch mutated creatures when he went out.

In He Jiang’s heart, Yang Dian had already taken on a hint of mystery.

Under the influence of this mystery, he always felt that what Yang Dian said made sense.

So, after Yang Dian finished speaking, he turned to his wife:

“Juan’er, why don’t we give it a try?”

Yang Dian’s second maternal aunt hesitated for a moment.

But thinking of the dangers Yang Dian mentioned, she finally nodded:

“Then let’s try it.”

As she spoke, she also looked at Yang Dian:

“Nephew, is it really okay?”

Yang Dian nodded with certainty:

“Definitely no problem.”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, opened his phone, logged into the State Council website, and found a red-headed document:

“Oh, right, uncles and aunts, look at this.”

“The higher-ups recently issued a document stating that they will support farmers who plant grain and medicinal herbs.”

“Leasing a certain amount of land or mountain land to plant grain and medicinal herbs will not only come with subsidies, but also have senior professors from the Ministry of Agriculture personally visit to provide guidance on farming.”

“This also shows the determination of the higher-ups to vigorously develop agriculture!”

Seeing the red-headed document on the screen, He Jiang finally made up his mind:

“Then we’ll listen to you!”

…Having decided on the future development direction, Yang Dian chatted with his elders about future plans.

When it was almost time, he saw his elders out the door, then carried the small fish tank and walked to his room.

Looking back at Yang Lele, who was trailing behind him, Yang Dian couldn’t help but free one hand and flick her forehead:

“What time is it? Why aren’t you in your room sleeping?”

Yang Lele’s eyes kept darting towards the fish tank:

“Brother, just put the little jellyfish in my room.”

“Just one night, just one night is fine!”

Yang Dian refused without mercy:

“No!”

“Who knows if this guy is dangerous?”

With that, Yang Dian ignored Yang Lele, who was feigning pity, and walked directly into his bedroom, closing the door.

Shortly after, a loud “bang~” of a door closing sounded from the adjacent room.

Clearly, Yang Lele was expressing her dissatisfaction in this way.

However, Yang Dian didn’t care.

He carefully placed the fish tank on his desk.

Looking at the two thumb-sized jellyfish slowly swimming in the water in the fish tank, a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes.

“Let me see the limits of this cheat, or rather, this talent…”
