I Materialized the Cultivation Game

Zhu Hong quickly took out a magnifying glass and couldn’t help but inspect the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique": "Each era has different levels of book craftsmanship, representing the characteristics of that time. Lord Liu’s book craftsmanship was a popular fine art in the early Song Dynasty."

"And I am most knowledgeable about the craftsmanship of ancient Song Dynasty texts. This is certainly Lord Liu’s book craftsmanship, and the ancient script exactly aligns with that era."

"Moreover, the paper’s color variance, texture, smoothness, and fiber patterns all match the characteristics of that time."

Wu Ying was surprised upon hearing this: "Professor Chu, do you mean that the Chen Family’s ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’ has been passed down since the Song Dynasty?"

It’s no wonder she was surprised; doesn’t this mean the Chen Family’s heritage can be traced back to the Song Dynasty period?

Mind you, even Wudang’s heritage isn’t so ancient.

Chen Han was also very surprised. Although he knew the book was definitely an ancient text, he hadn’t expected the game’s timeline was arranged so early.

Zhu Hong said with great certainty: "Indeed, that’s the case. My expertise lies in the study of ancient Song Dynasty texts, and I’m not mistaken."

Wu Ying was already focused on capturing the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" with the camera, and couldn’t help but ask: "Patriarch Chen, may I film some of the contents of the ’Ancient Calming Heart Technique’?"

This was precisely Chen Han’s plan, so he immediately said: "Of course, that’s not a problem."

As he spoke, he even took the initiative to open the "Ancient Calming Heart Technique," allowing Wu Ying to film the content clearly.

However, he naturally skipped matters related to Arrays, directly turning to the main text, letting Wu Ying capture every word and annotation.

These contents actually did not differ from those of the Taoist Sect’s Mental Tranquility Technique, except in some notes.

The only difference in the latter part was a piece of music score, which caused the recitation of the Ancient Calming Heart Technique to differ from the Taoist Sect’s version.

Hence, Wu Ying paid even closer attention when filming this music score.

After the filming ended, there was a brief exchange regarding the Ancient Calming Heart Technique, concluding the interview.

Zhu Hong, despite his reluctance to part with the ancient text, understood it belonged to the Chen Family and might never have another chance to see it again.

Truly, one must marvel at the Chen Family’s long-standing heritage.

It’s likely that even places like the Taoist Sect have few ancient texts preserved from the Song Dynasty.

After Wu Ying took her leave, she wasted no time returning to her residence to begin editing immediately. The online discussion about the Chen Family’s Ancient Calming Heart Technique was heating up, and she edited as fast as possible, sending it back to the Provincial New City Daily for review.

Actually, there wasn’t much to review in the video content, so the Provincial New City Daily released the interview video at top speed.

The Provincial New City Daily also needed the news hype.

Huang Tao had already consumed enough of the Chen Family saga over the past few days, from witnessing the old Daoist’s live testimony to seeing Master Wu create a painting based on the Chen Family’s Ancient Calming Heart Technique.

Now, the internet claimed the painting was undoubtedly grand, and in the modern painting realm, it ranked among the top five, a true marvel.

Two instances of witnessing assured him that the Chen Family was extraordinary, even if Linhe County officials tried to cover up the old Daoist’s story.

He firmly believed the Chen Family’s heritage was indeed unique.

Without profound grounding, how could their martial arts be so impressive?

Even though other Taoist Sects have martial arts traditions, based on the online videos, they pale in comparison to the Chen Family, never mind the old Daoist himself.

Thus, upon seeing the Provincial New City Daily’s special report video on the Chen Family’s Ancient Calming Heart Technique, he immediately clicked to view it.

When he saw that the Chen Family’s "Ancient Calming Heart Technique" could actually be traced back to the Song Dynasty, he realized he had guessed correctly; the Chen Family’s lineage is indeed extensive.

He even particularly researched Lord Liu’s book craftsmanship, discovering it could be traced back over 850 years.

This could only prove that the Chen Family existed at that time, but it couldn’t prove that this was the end for the Chen Family; their history surely goes further back.

After all, in ancient times, people were more inclined to believe in Taoist Sect matters; the Chen Family had the skills, and at that time they surely thrived even more.

This means that the Chen Family in Linhe County has existed for well over a thousand years.

What kind of extraordinary family is this?

Note that many royal families and nobles in ancient times could not sustain their lineage for such an extended period.

Yet now the Chen Family has managed to do so, maintaining the family’s scale over time, truly extraordinary.

This should be considered a millennia-old family, correct?

Or maybe not; "family" was a term used in ancient times, and such a concept isn’t allowed now.

But calling it a millennia-old family is certainly not wrong.

Many people still doubted this, but after investigating Zhu Hong’s identity, they found no reason to doubt anymore. Even many ancient text and manuscript research experts online began expressing opinions, indicating that preliminary verification through the video pointed to Lord Liu’s book craftsmanship from the Song Dynasty era.

That completely stirred and shocked people.

What kind of family lineage can last a thousand years?

This is, in itself, quite an awe-inspiring fact.
