I Materialized the Cultivation Game

After returning to his courtyard, Chen Han decisively entered the building and began searching where the books were kept.

The Chen family’s collection was quite diverse, and he had occasionally flipped through some on Feng Shui before, but he never believed in it. Despite studying so much, he never saw any mystical effect.

However, there’s a funny story: a college professor, who always lectured scientific knowledge and criticized Feng Shui as outdated residue, invited a Feng Shui Master to inspect his house after leaving the school. His students even witnessed this.

Chen Han entered the library area and searched for a while before finding four books on Feng Shui.

They were ”Burial Book,” ”Qi Discrimination,” ”Feng Shui Spirit Mirror,” and ”Basic Outline of Feng Shui.”

Then, he attempted to retrieve the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone from the game inventory to see if what he imagined was feasible.

Unexpectedly, after taking out the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone, a game system prompt appeared.

[Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone detected basic Feng Shui data, currently analyzing...]

[Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone detected useless Feng Shui data...]

[Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone detected incomplete Feng Shui data...]

[Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone detected a segment of usable Feng Shui data...’Qi rides the wind and scatters, bound by water it stops, thus gathering people to not scatter, guiding to achieve stability...’]

[...]

[...]

...

The continuous game prompts appearing in his mind amazed Chen Han as he looked at the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone.

The entire stone looked calm.

Upon close inspection, there seemed to be some fluid flowing inside, with characters or something similar congealing inside.

Truly magical.

However, through the ongoing prompts, it was clear why Feng Shui had been lost, and why what he learned before was useless.

Among the Feng Shui books collected by the Chen family, it was either useless Feng Shui data or incomplete Feng Shui data; even in one ”Burial Book,” only one segment was useful.

Therefore, it was not surprising that modern Feng Shui had been lost.

Though Feng Shui is unrelated to cultivation, it is the ancient wisdom gained from the study and summary of geographical terrain, which often doesn’t differ much from what modern geography experts do.

Clearly, the wisdom accumulated over thousands of years by the ancients is often superior to what modern experts with years of academic training can achieve.

The ancient wisdom often couldn’t be matched by modern knowledge, so many people thinking they could toy with ancient wisdom after crossing over are actually quite ignorant.

Now that Feng Shui knowledge has become so lost, with much content being useless, even powerful things cannot be utilized.

As to why a Feng Shui book would have so much useless content, it’s unsurprising; there are always people who fancy themselves experts adding their insights to these books. Or when books are incomplete, there are always people who consider themselves experts who attempt to complete them.

They don’t care about correctness, only about what status, influence, or benefits they might gain from doing this...

If this is hard to understand, think about how many textbooks today’s children study are the same as those used by the 80s’ and 90s’ generations.

A common term that the 80s’ and 90s’ generations might not understand now.

...

Yue Fei used to be honored as a national hero dedicated to serving the country, but now his ”Man Jiang Hong” is no longer in textbooks, and even the title of national hero is questioned. Some even claim he was a criminal for hindering national integration.

Many concepts that are difficult for ordinary people to understand are often manipulated by those in power.

And this is only over the span of a decade or so.

Consider the changes over 100, 1000, or even 2000 years, with countless regime changes and wars; how much of the original content could have been preserved?

It’s not surprising if only one-tenth or even one-hundredth remains.

When the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone finished analyzing all four Feng Shui books, the usable content was less than 15%, meaning 85% of the content in these books was incorrect or useless.

Learning Feng Shui from such books would indeed be strange.

[Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone does not have enough data; currently unable to provide complete geographical Feng Shui data. Please continue collecting Feng Shui data...]

Seeing the last prompt, Chen Han turned his attention to Daoist Chen and the others.

The Chen family only had these four Feng Shui books, and even if books available for purchase on the market were similar, the result would likely still yield little of use.

On the other hand, the Taoist sects, each Daoist Temple, especially those located in famous mountains and rivers, probably have a lot of Feng Shui books, even some unavailable for purchase outside.

Having the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone collect those collections would definitely be more effective.

With this in mind, he got up, put the Feng Shui Spirit Recording Stone back into the game inventory, and headed to the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall for the discussion.

By this time, the mist from the Cloud Barrier Pill that extended a thousand meters had long dissipated, and the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall had returned to normal.

When he entered the discussion hall, Daoist Chen and the others turned to look at him simultaneously, their eyes filled with special anticipation.

Because they had just been discussing the fact that their Daoist Temple had already confirmed the existence of geographical formations, and could still invoke the Ancient Calming Heart Technique in the remaining areas.

Thus, a group chat was active within their Daoist Temple discussing whether there might be a way to utilize their local geographical features or repair existing Feng Shui array formations.

Not only Wudang had this idea.

Yet, upon checking the Feng Shui books, nothing was gained.
