417: Chapter 417 They Really Did Develop Something 417: Chapter 417 They Really Did Develop Something “Brother Zhao, take a look, this is our latest designed necklace. It’s based on the ‘Sky Wind Gathering Array’, but it’s such a hassle to condense these formations, we only managed to make this one piece.” What kind of formation is this? Zhao Guang stared at the layout and really couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps he didn’t understand metaphysics, but when he ran his magic through it, he found that this thing was completely meaningless. Looking back, maybe he should also study some metaphysical stuff, though he didn’t know if it would be of any use. But as the owner of this kind of mystical shop, he should at least know a little bit, right? He couldn’t let his brothers down, Zhao Guang silently decided. Although Han Xiaoyu should be older than him, calling him naturally felt right. “Can this thing really be sold?” Zhao Guang looked at the necklace with some skepticism. “Of course it can be sold, it’s really hot right now. Just wait until the end of the month, you’ll see once you get your dividend.” Dividend? Zhao Guang wasn’t interested in that, since he made his money from the cost. Even though he reduced the price when delivering the gemstones, he still charged according to their certain value. This value was basically akin to getting something for nothing, as long as people dug them out that was enough. The most he had to do was an additional step of sorting, filtering out the ones that were too big to avoid scaring people. However, because the roads were impassable in the winter, the supply of amber and jade decreased, causing Da Manjin much grumbling. Because of this, Guo Siyu’s calls to him had increased. Zhao Guang looked puzzled at Han Xiaoyu, but Fang Hang next to him started explaining first. “It’s because someone abroad practiced and managed to cultivate something, which has gone viral on the internet.” Zhao Guang looked surprised: “Really managed to make something out of it, you gotta be kidding.” “No kidding, those old-timers all have it, how could it possibly not work. Speaking of which, it was this youngster who started it all; he turned his house into a huge feng shui array for his practice and many people are learning from him now.” On the side, Ye Zhi also nodded, “There is indeed such an incident, but it’s just hard to tell if it’s true or not.” While talking, they pulled up the news for Zhao Guang to see. As he watched, Zhao Guang mostly understood what was going on. This young man must have been extraordinarily talented; his own strength was originally tremendous. His potential was unmanifested because he hadn’t trained, but now that he’s started practicing, his talent has been discovered. Why did Zhao Guang know this? That’s because he had good eyesight, he could tell. After not much practice, the young man could break wooden boards with his bare hands, which amazed everyone. However, looking at the comments below, Zhao Guang felt somewhat speechless. Because the young man said he felt the energy between heaven and earth, claiming that ever since he changed the feng shui layout, everything felt completely different, and he could feel an energy flow revolving around him every time he practiced. “This guy, he must have hypnotized himself.” “He probably hasn’t, after all, it’s been proven.” “Proven? How was it proven?” Zhao Guang was puzzled and confused. Han Xiaoyu pointed at the person and said, “This youngster went to test it with professional equipment, and in the end, they indeed found a kind of power flowing inside him.” “Professional equipment? What kind of professional equipment could detect such a thing?” If it wasn’t for the fact that the elder was himself or that he knew Earth lacked magic elements, he might have believed it. “It’s supposed to be a set of equipment originally used to detect the existence of meridians, but only a few people in the country believe in it. After the youngster studied it deeply, it’s now being used in many places.” “According to their tests, they found this youngster’s internal energy to be stronger.” Zhao Guang scratched his head, not knowing what this test could reveal or whether it had any use. Scientific verification led more and more people to believe in it. If he knew earlier, he would never have dabbled in it, but now things were spiraling out of control. Under such widespread influence, his own country couldn’t remain unaffected. Even if the authorities controlled it, people would probably think they were hiding something. After all, conspiracy theories are too prevalent everywhere. “Thank goodness the guy didn’t take a knife to himself.” “Why take a knife to himself?” Ye Zhi asked, puzzled. Zhao Guang looked incredulously, “Just like the initial ‘qigong’ craze, weren’t there people looking for spinning ‘wheels’ in their bodies?” Thinking of those fools, Zhao Guang felt he understood these current folks. After all, people always believe in what they want to believe. “Speaking of which, our country is also starting to promote the practice of these things.” “You’re kidding, isn’t that just deceiving people?” Zhao Guang widened his eyes, full of disbelief. “Not really, we all know the principle of ‘the law isn’t transmitted lightly’. Truly good stuff isn’t just handed out, and not everyone can easily learn it. Otherwise, those real masters wouldn’t be so rare.” Ye Zhi stated matter-of-factly, “But most people always believe they are the special one. Without giving them a path to follow, they will find other ways which might allow certain individuals to take advantage of them.” True masters have indeed been sent away batch after batch, but new ones continually pop up. With such a large domestic market, how could they just watch idly? They are impossible to completely eliminate. Ye Zhi continued, “So, the state decided to compile some ancient martial arts into different textbooks, letting people practice with them. Even if they don’t achieve anything special, it can still strengthen the body and improve physical fitness of the citizens.” This was actually a good idea, as blocking was worse than guiding. Maybe in the future, martial arts practice could even compete with square dancing. “Moreover, if there really are talented individuals, perhaps they truly could make something of it. With such a large population base, it’s certainly more convenient than individual masters looking for disciples, right?” Ye Zhi dropped this comment, and Zhao Guang wanted to ask her if she was serious. Alright, even a person like Ye Zhi believed in the existence of true masters in the world, not to mention the average person. The situation was getting blown way out of proportion. Zhao Guang finally understood why qigong fever back in the day allowed universities to set up research institutes dedicated to it—these people were genuinely invested in such practices. Zhao Guang decided to keep his involvement secret, to make sure that no one would find out it had anything to do with him, otherwise that would be social suicide.
