Chapter 1, Arrival
Fang Xin indeed has a membership card, which he took out and swiped on the sensor
The so-called "ice fruit" is actually similar to jelly, made using a method akin to that of ice cream. It is refreshing and delightful to the palate, making it particularly popular among young boys and girls
How to seize Fang Xin, I do not know, but it does not matter; for now, all I need is to stay alive, and that is enough
The ice fruit shop is not far away. Upon entering, Fang Xin casually ordered: "Two servings of crystal ice fruit, accompanied by two servings of chocolate pastry No. 3, and two cups of iced tea"
As she stood up, she couldn't help but glance at Fang Xin once more. When their eyes met, she inexplicably felt a flush of warmth rise to her cheeks and quickly said nonchalantly, "Let's go! See you tomorrow"
He took the booklet, expressed his gratitude, and then sat down to read it carefully
Closing his eyes, Fang Xin gently traced his fingers over the paper, carefully sensing the information it conveyed... this feeling... Fang Xin felt a slight resonance from his jade ruyi.
Li Nan is already dead, and I am now Fang Xin. Fang Xin finished the last sip of juice and said softly, after which he caressed the jade Ruyi.
Found B-15, and with a swipe of the card, the door opened
In fact, he possesses all of Fang Xin's emotions and memories, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is Fang Xin.
"Is there really internal news? Then are the other various things true?" The sentiments from Earth stirred excitement within him. He left the room, made a mark on the door, and naturally deducted money according to the time. He returned to the front counter and asked, "Could you show me the courses available here?"
However, at this moment, Fang Xin has other intentions
Perhaps for the original Fangxin, this was quite normal, similar to English language classes or college entrance exam tutoring classes on Earth. However, for contemporary Earthlings, all of this is truly astonishing
The security guard is a forty-year-old man. He smiled and said, "Are you going to look for food?"
Fang Xin gently stroked the fabric with her hand; the texture was exceptionally smooth, akin to touching human skin. She took out a pair of tailoring scissors, paused for a moment in contemplation, and let the tip of the blade glide slowly over the piece of fabric.
Upon reaching the center, Fang Xin sat down upright and began to adjust his breathing
To some extent, the original Fangxin was merely a lonely youth
Turning a page, the fingers that had been gliding over the surface of the book suddenly came to a halt
There are still many, many...
Nurturing Qi Method, a family tradition of Qi cultivation
Qian Meng's eyes were downcast, not daring to meet Fang Xin's gaze. She simply lowered her head to finish eating and said, "That's it then, I should be heading back."
With little time left, a bear completed the task. It turned the deflated fabric over; the project was not yet finished. After some consideration, it took out the fur and meticulously stitched it on. Once all the stitching was done, it filled the fabric with cotton, slowly using a special stick to firmly pack the cotton into the tips of the hands and feet. After pondering for a moment, it picked up two small jade stones to serve as eyes and stitched them on.
Fang Xin shook his head: "I am not ready yet, but it doesn't matter."
Huaxia Swordsmanship is a discipline with specific titles and evaluation standards, and it is one of the ancient practices that has been passed down for over three thousand years. It is now recognized as one of the national martial arts.
The second floor is the Classic Room, a place for learning solo instrument performance, as well as locations for studying arts such as flower arrangement and Go.
Throughout the entire process of air entering and exiting the body, it is essential to maintain a uniform and consistent flow. This not only serves as a means of nurturing the body and exercising one's vital energy and spirit, but also constitutes a process of cultivating one's character.
At the counter stood a young girl, who did not quite resemble an adult woman. She was likely a student participating in social practice and working to support her studies nearby. She slightly leaned forward and said, "Welcome, please present your membership card."
Raindrops struck against the glass window, making a crackling sound, finally waking the people in the room
An incredibly adorable bear plush toy has thus been created
After waiting for a moment, Fang Xincai finally got up, looked at the time, and realized that three hours had passed
This project
I am fifteen years old this year. My father is Fang Jingtian, and my mother is Meng Qianqian
It is said that a good quiet society will also invite relevant masters to provide guidance, in order to attract people from related fields
The so-called Anji Jingshe refers to various places for nurturing the mind and spirit, primarily consisting of individual tea rooms. These specialized tea rooms are designed in a semi-enclosed, tranquil, and understated style, serving as spaces for tea drinking
This is a kind of loneliness in a foreign land that is difficult to express to others, as if in the vastness of the universe, there is only oneself.
Just like on Earth, countless knowledge resides in textbooks and libraries, yet how many are truly willing to spend time to obtain a doctor's degree
The secondary education here is no longer full-time, with classes held only for four months each year, specifically in May and June, as well as September and October. Most of the time, students study at home independently. During the class periods, concentrated lectures are provided, along with examinations. Completing the requirements for one credit allows a student to finish the course, which offers a great deal of freedom. This approach has its reasons, which will be discussed later
This feeling is too uncomfortable, Fang Xin could not help but walk to a place he was once familiar with, and thus entered the door—this is a store, a very familiar toy store
In the past, Fang Xin would not spend a great deal of time practicing swordsmanship—most people practice swordsmanship merely as a skill, and most can only reach a level of proficiency, which may be beneficial for finding a security job, but cannot lead to wealth.
He certainly does not need to rely on making puppets to make a living; he just happened to come to this shop a year ago and tried his hand at making them. In this regard, he seems to have some talent, and surprisingly, the puppets he created are very beautiful and have all been sold.
Fang Xin breathed repeatedly, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world, not knowing how much time had passed. He felt that today his vital energy had transformed, his entire body was agile, and only then could he cultivate a calm and tranquil state.
Fang Xin's gaze was focused, with a sense of confidence. He felt that his original talents and Li Nan's past insights naturally merged together. His hands were calm yet agile, and wherever they went, they were precise to the point.
A gust of wind swept by, and raindrops drifted through the balcony, landing on my face. The cool breeze and rain instantly awakened my senses, and suddenly a bright light flashed, illuminating everything before me. I could see the distant artificial hill appearing and disappearing, truly possessing a unique charm.
The Meng surname, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor
"Fang Xin, your work is truly excellent; it can be sold for 300 yuan!" Qian Meng said.
Breathing techniques involve transformations of rising, descending, opening, and closing; however, fundamentally, there are only two types. The first is to enable individuals to become aware of and control the rhythm of their body's metabolism through deep, prolonged, and even inhalations and exhalations.
Fang Xin is not very skilled at cooking for himself, so every day he searches for food, wandering through all the streets nearby
Thank you for your patronage, each hour is worth twenty membership points, your number is B-15
The receptionist typed a few words and said: "The first phase is foundational, with one class taught each week. The annual fee is 2,500 yuan. Do you have any questions?"
With a rumble of thunder, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared nearby, illuminating the world in an instant
"Very well done," Old Man Qian said. "Your skills have improved."
After the rain, the green grass and the scattered petals of the planted flowers, Fang Xin stood up
Fang Xin clearly saw her, a remarkably beautiful face. Compared to the original Earth, the overall appearance of men and women in this world seems to have elevated to a higher level. Such beauty, while not rare on Earth, is not something one encounters easily. He murmured softly to himself, saying: "I apply for a Level 2 Quiet Room"
Fang Xin nodded; below was mostly a tea room. He walked over, feeling a myriad of emotions.
As for the quiet room, it is specifically designed for individuals who cultivate their minds, nurture their character, and practice breathing techniques. It is equipped with soundproofing, air retention, and tranquility features. In the city, due to the fast pace of life, many traditional practitioners of breathing techniques, unable to find the right conditions at home, come here for quiet cultivation. Therefore, the business has been relatively good and has always been a traditional offering
Family inheritance, Fang hetushu.com. There is a limited company in Jingtian that holds over 80% of the shares, with a scale of approximately 200 million, which can be considered somewhat wealthy. This can be seen from the small villa where they reside—two stories, totaling 280 square meters, valued at around 5 million. All of this is quite normal
Having already accumulated a modest amount of assets, why act in such a manner
A young girl is standing in the store, smiling and waving her hand: "Fang Xin, you are here!"
As contemplation deepens, the raindrops gradually slow, and the spring waterfall on the rockery also comes to a halt, while on the eaves, they fall sporadically.
Suddenly, the screen in front of the girl displayed a message. The girl glanced at it and raised her head: "You have 14,000 membership points on your card that have not been used. May I ask what kind of expenditure you would like to apply for?"
The balcony is quite spacious, the lights are on, and outside the sky is overcast. I poured a glass of juice and sat down on the rattan chair between the living room and the balcony, facing the heavy rain. Within ten meters, some grass can still be discerned, but beyond ten meters, a haze envelops everything.
Fang Xinxin moved next, carefully reading the teachings of the Huaxia Sword Dao
After Li Nan's death, there was no awareness at all; it seemed that upon waking, he had transformed into Fang Xin
It is said that the practice of regulating and nurturing one's energy has a history of three thousand years, continuously passed down through generations. Historically, there were two occasions when emperors organized large-scale compilations of its foundational texts, which were subsequently refined by masters of various dynasties. The methods that are currently transmitted are all highly authentic
Some memories flowed by, and Fang Xin revealed a smile of苦笑 that seemed to lack meaning
Opposite is a mirror, and in the mirror is a stranger, a young man. His appearance is quite handsome, but his muscles are somewhat loose, indicating he is not someone who exercises regularly. However, being young, his physique is still very good
The lively, gentle, and pure essence within expands with each breath, according to the family principles of Fangxin, which prioritize accumulation over circulation; the refinement of essence into qi is already inherent within this process
Fang Xin fell into deep thought, countless memories intertwining and blending, as he sipped juice, gazing at the rain scene, quietly lost in contemplation
Only the toys inside are all plush dolls
The shopkeeper is an old man, also surnamed Qian, with hair that is already half white. He has a consistently calm expression and merely glanced at him, holding a few pieces of rolled-up fabric and fur, and then said nothing more.
This is it, Fang Xin's eyes lit up as he made his choice
The Fang surname, a descendant of the Shennong clan
Uncle Zhang, I brought you a chicken leg! This man is surnamed Zhang. From Fang Xin's memory, he is quite interesting and they have a good relationship. However, there is no need to delve into it for now. He smiled as he spoke and walked through the door onto the street
Music played softly in the store, the singing was lingering and distant, imbued with a touch of ethereality
In ancient times, each discipline was considered a secret not to be transmitted. Now, it has been unified into a scientific and systematic approach. Although some elements have been removed for safety reasons, the superior methods remain intact. Nevertheless, in reality, how many people in this world are willing to invest considerable effort in cultivation
"No problem," Fang Xin said, glancing over the many subjects. He couldn't help but sigh; there was still so much he needed to learn, and he had to work hard!
Let's go, I will treat you to some ice desserts, and we can just sort out dinner casually
Fang Xin's foundation is relatively profound, and within just a few minutes, he has already controlled his breathing. With each inhalation and exhalation, he feels the dantian opening and closing in response. The dantian is the point where the subtle energies of food and water combine with the essence of the kidneys, gradually accumulating and refining with each breath.
I pondered for a full hour and a half, feeling neither hunger nor thirst, nor any fatigue in my body. After the rain, the sky cleared, and the sun was still shining. Birds descended onto the branches of the nearby garden, their feathers still damp, occasionally flapping their wings.
Although there are countless schools of thought, the disciples can be categorized into six types: foundational, introductory, proficient, advanced, intermediate, and transcendent.
Having completed this task, he realized, almost unconsciously, that it was likely dusk. Fang Xin felt that the loneliness of being all alone had lessened significantly, and he felt a bit of joy in his heart. He simply nodded and smiled before stepping out of the inner room, casually placing the teddy bear on the shelf outside.
Jade Ruyi
Fang Xin's moral values and religious beliefs are rooted in the Huaxia pantheon. In order to uphold his faith, he would originally undertake certain tasks, but these would not endanger his life. It is the influence of his family and societal norms that has taught him to accept such moral concepts and beliefs
I have registered for this project, please help me with the registration," Fang Xinchao said to the counter attendant, while also swiping his card on the sensor.
In the darkness, the sound of the wind rises all around, and the rumble of thunder approaches from afar.

The sweat is washed away with warm water; with a gentle press of a button, fragrant shower foam cascades down again. After a thorough wash, clear water is used, leaving one feeling refreshed. A warm, dry towel is taken out to dry off, and after putting on clothes, one steps out.
The sweet and lovely Qian Meng glanced at Fang Xin, chuckled softly, found a seat, and a waiter approached her
Fang Xin assessed it briefly, touched it, and found the texture to be very good
The Qi cultivation method passed down in the Fang family is actually quite similar to what is taught in schools and available in the market. Even if there are some differences, there is not much improvement in essence. The only advantage is that it allows one to learn earlier than the average person, making it easier to delve deeper in the future
After speaking, the person had already left. Fang Xin smiled, paid the bill, walked to the door, and closed his eyes. Hetushucomcom felt that his heart had almost settled and was eager to experiment with the most captivating thing in Fang Xin's memory. He crossed the street and arrived at a quiet establishment called An Yi Jing She. As soon as he entered, a wave of fragrance greeted him.
Sighing, he retracted the jade ruyi and then left the door.
Suddenly, a jade ruyi, measuring an inch in size, fell into his hand. The jade ruyi was densely engraved with mysterious characters, yet within it, there was almost no luster left, clearly indicating that its energy had been exhausted
The small skateboard is Fang Xin's favorite. It glides over the smooth pavement. This community is predominantly composed of well-off middle-class residents, and the environment is quite pleasant. As he passes by the entrance of the community, he catches sight of the security guard out of the corner of his eye and politely nods in acknowledgment.
The cut fabric was carefully arranged one by one on the nearby shelf, and then the fabric that had been cut was threaded together with a needle. Although there had been many instances of this operation, today the speed and movements were particularly proficient
The dark clouds continue to gather in the sky, and raindrops fall in a rhythmic patter, resembling a cascading waterfall. Occasionally, flashes of lightning dart about, and at times a thunderclap strikes down, deafening in its intensity
"Alright, I will go right away," Qian Meng said with great joy as he packed his things and went out the door
The quiet room is located at the back, beyond a small lake, which is approximately 2 acres in size. The water surface is emerald green, resembling beautiful jade, with rippling green waves. Passing through the corridor, with its winding railings, one directly enters the back first floor. The only characteristic of this floor is its immaculate cleanliness and profound silence
On both sides of the street, there are green belts, with trees providing shade. The buildings are arranged in a winding manner, and there are gardens scattered throughout. People come and go, and as he gazes at this scene that is both incredibly familiar and strikingly unfamiliar, a sudden wave of discomfort washes over him, making it feel as though his breath might stop. An indescribable sadness lingers, making it difficult for him to find peace for a long time
Qian Meng, hello, I will treat you to some ice fruit tonight!" Fang Xin greeted her, then ignored her, walking directly to the studio at the back. He turned on the lights and skillfully picked up several pieces of fabric, beginning to make a cloth doll.
Many things in his memory clearly told him that this was different from the original world
Fang Xin got up from the bamboo mat, drenched in sweat. After a moment of hesitation, he realized where he was. He walked to the bathroom and then turned on the water heater, adjusting the dial to forty degrees. Immediately, water at forty degrees began to shower down from above.
The two listened silently, eating. Qian Meng glanced over, only to see Fang Xin lost in thought, unknowingly carrying a sense of maturity and charm not typical of youth. Feeling a stir in his heart, he asked: "Fang Xin, with the school year starting in September, are you prepared?"
Alright, please wait a moment, this is a lecture from our society
