"Starting to meditate again, is immortal cultivation just about meditating?"
"Hey? What’s that thing?"
"Looks like a big piece of charcoal."
"Does your charcoal start sprouting?"
"Hey? Charcoal sprouting? Could it be Thunderstruck Wood?"
"Thunderstruck Wood? Is that even real?"
"..."
The Thunderstruck Wood attracted the attention of people outside the gymnasium.
The discussions grew louder and louder.
It even made the entire gym buzz, like countless flies were flying around.
Lin Beichen, who was immersed in cultivation, seemed to have a self-shielding barrier and was not disturbed at all.
He continued his cultivation.
He practiced until the sun set and the moon hung high in the night sky. Realizing that he had reached his limit for the day, he came out of his absorbed state, and the noisy discussions outside the gym finally reached his ears.
"I’m numb, I’ve been watching all day, and Lin Beichen has just been meditating here all day."
"Lin Beichen did nothing all day, just meditated. Is this how immortal cultivation works?"
"What a waste of time."
"Does Lin Beichen even have any real skills?"
"I think so too. He must have boasted and now doesn’t know how to wrap it up, pretending to be mysterious while we all watch."
"That piece of wood he got halfway through, I don’t think it’s Thunderstruck Wood. It’s probably just a prop for his trickery."
"Boring."
"..."
In response to the doubts of the onlookers.
Lin Beichen simply smiled and felt no emotional disturbance inside.
Just as he was about to leave the gym.
Suddenly!
His phone rang.
"Ring ring... ring ring..."
It was the principal.
Lin Beichen glanced at the time. It was past seven in the evening. Why was the principal calling him so late?
Feeling puzzled.
He answered the call.
"Hello, Principal, you called me."
"Student Lin Beichen, you came to see me this afternoon about establishing this Immortal Cultivation Club. I’ve thought it over and agreed. I’ve already added it to the school’s list of clubs."
This matter was actually handled by Hao Jianhua a few hours ago. He had just finished chatting and having tea with Cai Peiyuan, then escorted him safely home, which gave him a chance to inform Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen: ?
He agreed just like that?
Now I have my own club?
Elated, he quickly said, "Thank you, Principal!"
He hung up the phone.
Looking at the crowd of students outside the gym.
Lin Beichen’s eyes lit up, thinking of something, and walked out of the gym holding the Thunderstruck Wood.
The discussions outside the gym quieted down.
Everyone looked at him.
Under their puzzled gazes.
Lin Beichen proclaimed loudly, "Dear students, senior brothers and sisters, just now, the club I applied to establish has been approved, and the Immortal Cultivation Research Association is officially founded!"
Everyone: ???
A club?
Immortal Cultivation Research Association??
For a moment, they felt like their brains were about to explode. How could a club like this be approved?
It’s like a knife cutting the butt, truly eye-opening!
Before they could react.
Lin Beichen continued, "The Immortal Cultivation Research Association is now recruiting new members. Anyone interested in studying immortal cultivation can sign up on the campus website. Tomorrow at seven in the morning, I’ll be teaching everyone how to cultivate here at the gym!"
Finished speaking, he left without asking everyone to spread the word.
He believed that with his current popularity, the news would soon spread far and wide.
As he anticipated.
Within minutes.
The Imperial Capital University’s forum was filled with posts about this.
[Big News! Lin Beichen has founded a club called the Immortal Cultivation Research Association, and they’re recruiting new members now!]
