54: Star Guiding Technique

While it felt good, Jiang Lin did not dare let his father keep kneeling. If he had continued watching the spectacle from the side, he probably wouldn't have seen the sun rise tomorrow.

"Grandfather, this cultivation method is real! My dad and I have already verified it!"

Jiang Long snorted coldly upon hearing this and released the oppressive energy that had been locking down his son.

Jiang Zhenhai let out a long breath and awkwardly scrambled up from the ground.

"Father, your cultivation is high, please help us evaluate it."

After speaking, the father and son stood ten meters apart and began circulating the [Star Guidance Technique] in the study.

As the technique circulated, threads of pure star power were drawn in by the father and son.

Jiang Long's eyes narrowed. After carefully sensing it, he confirmed that the energy filling the study was definitely not ordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but a much purer form of energy.

"Stop."

The old master waved his hand, signaling the father and son to cease their cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenhai and Jiang Lin controlled their breathing, slowly ceased the technique after absorbing the last thread of energy, and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

Jiang Long: "Explain this matter clearly."

Jiang Lin recounted the sequence of events in detail and specifically added his own speculation.

Jiang Long and Jiang Zhenhai simultaneously sneered.

Jiang Lin's expression stiffened. He felt his deduction was infinitely close to the truth, yet his father and grandfather seemed to scoff at it.

Jiang Zhenhai lowered his head in thought for a moment, organized his ideas, and slowly began: "Father, I have thought of a possibility."

Jiang Long narrowed his eyes: "Let's hear it."

"The first product Star Sea launched was longevity water. We have all tried it; it not only refreshes the mind but also removes impurities from the body, with an effect comparable to a Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"A treasure of this caliber is only sold for 50 yuan, which is essentially the same as giving it away for free."

"Therefore, I suspect Star Sea's purpose in doing this is likely to raise the overall scientific research level of Dragon Country."

Jiang Long: "That is interesting."

"The second drug Star Sea launched, which can treat alzheimers disease, is clearly intended to counter Verlander and thus snatch survival from the jaws of death."

"This means Star Sea can produce more technological power that surpasses this era at any time."

Jiang Yue: "Is it possible that Star Sea had already developed it and just happened to bring it out to deal with Verlander?"

Jiang Lin shook his head: "That is unlikely. Such a beneficial item for the country and the people would allow Star Sea to take a huge step forward and quickly garner the support of hundreds of millions of people."

"This is equivalent to holding a death-exemption token. Any force moving against Star Sea would have to seriously consider whether they could withstand the consequences of the wrath of hundreds of millions of people."

Jiang Yue recalled the rampant rhetoric online from a while ago and instantly understood.

Verlander only produced partial research results for alzheimers disease, yet the power of public opinion nearly crushed Star Sea, preventing it from raising its head.

If it were a complete drug, the effect would likely be even more explosive.

Jiang Zhenhai: "It is too coincidental that Star Sea developed a complete drug so soon after Verlander released partial research results on conquering alzheimers disease."

"Therefore, it is highly possible that Star Sea developed this through some method in an extremely short period of time."

Jiang Zhenhai's line of reasoning became increasingly clear.

"Star Sea invested most of the money it earned into fundamental fields like energy and materials. I didn't understand why before, but after seeing this [Star Guidance Technique], I think I understand now."

Jiang Lin was slightly confused and quickly asked: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Zhenhai's gaze deepened. He lowered his voice and spoke slowly: "Father, do you think Star Sea's true purpose is to develop Blue Star's technology to fight the Hai Star Civilization from the game?"

Jiang Long lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

"Materials, energy, interstellar game—it certainly makes sense."

Jiang Lin: "Then why did they send this cultivation method through me?"

"How did you feel about the game you played?"

"It was very interesting, and especially realistic."

"That is not what I am asking."

Jiang Zhenhai glared at his son.

"How did your performance in the game compare to others?"

Jiang Lin answered without hesitation: "For cultivators like us, the controls are simple, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to adapt to such complex mech operation."

Upon reaching this point, Jiang Lin seemed to understand something.

"Father, are you saying... Star Sea wants to use the [Star Guidance Technique] to attract cultivators to play their game?"

Jiang Yue also understood at this point.

"The game plot in [star sea knight: enlightenment] is about Blue Star humans resisting the invasion of the Hai Star fleet. They aren't trying to make us fight the Hai Star fleet, are they?"

Jiang Long sighed deeply: "I am afraid this is the only explanation."

Jiang Zhenhai: "The moment Star Sea produced the specific medicine to cure alzheimers disease was enough to prove that they must possess technology far surpassing contemporary levels."

Jiang Yue: "Then where did this black technology actually come from?"

Jiang Zhenhai: "We do not know."

"Even if we know the truth, we have no choice."

"If the Hai Star Civilization truly exists, then we must enter the game and prepare early, trying to gain as many benefits as possible from that mysterious boss who has been hiding behind the scenes."

"Even if the Hai Star Civilization does not exist, we should still enter the game, as this is a unique opportunity for our Jiang Family."

"Other families might discover this sooner or later, but we must seize the initiative!"

Jiang Long nodded in satisfaction at his son's judgment.

"Notify the core disciples of the Jiang Family and have them obtain the qualifications to enter the game as soon as possible!"

Cloud Deer Garden.

He Ming leaned back in his chair, opened his notebook, and quickly wrote something down.

[Provide all details of Jiang Lin’s actions after leaving the game]

The next second, dense text appeared on the notebook.

When he finished reading all the content, his heart trembled.

"It seems I greatly underestimated the wisdom of these reclusive great families."

He Ming continued staring at the text on the notebook, sinking into contemplation.

Aside from the existence of the notebook, the Jiang Family had almost completely figured out his entire layout.

"I must be much more careful in the future."

The feeling of being completely seen through intellectually made He Ming very uncomfortable. He had originally thought his plan was flawless.

However, this also caused him to put away a trace of the arrogance that had gradually inflated after grasping the truth.

"That is fine."

He Ming closed the notebook, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Clever allies are always more useful than foolish pawns."

"Since your Jiang Family has already seen the crisis and recognized the reward, then please fight with all your might for the future of your family and Blue Star Civilization."

He Ming stood up and paced back and forth in the study, musing to himself.

One Jiang Family is definitely far from enough; to fight the Hai Star fleet, he must cultivate more powerful mech pilots.

So, how should he control all the reclusive families on Blue Star?

A long time passed.

"Now is not the time. I must first let the Jiang Family grow strong, and then use them to control the other Ancient Martial Arts Families."
