Chapter 1755: Chapter 1602: Otherworldly Entertainment Tycoon 32
Jian Shuangshuang arranged Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan in a spacious courtyard with three main rooms. Of course, if they needed servants, they would have to prepare them themselves, as Jian Shuangshuang was not responsible for that.
After Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan confirmed their accommodation, they informed Jian Shuangshuang and went home for a while.
The two ran out to watch a movie, and as a result, they ended up seeing people going to someone else’s home to become actors. They definitely needed to go back and explain such a big matter to their family.
Seeing off the siblings Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan, Jian Shuangshuang pondered over designing a villa area when she had the chance; the current courtyard was still too small.
If there was a villa area, every actor who performed well could be allocated a house. Everyone would live close enough to gather easily yet have their own private space for personal activities.
After Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan left, Zang Lin didn’t leave but said to Jian Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, I need to return to Huayan City for a while to check out the cinema there.
Previously, I only instructed my subordinates to handle it, but I’m not sure how it’s going. Also, my cultivation has already broken through to the Great Xuan Master level, and I need to go to the Xuan Master Certification Center to re-certify my cultivation level and update my level badge."
Zang Lin had just recently broken through to the Great Xuan Master level. During this period, whether filming or doing anything else, he used daytime hours, while at night, Zang Lin replaced sleep with cultivation.
Originally, Zang Lin wasn’t like this; he used to cultivate during the day and sleep at night. This is because cultivators who haven’t broken through to the Grandmaster Level cannot do without sleep, as prolonged absence of sleep would have a significant impact.
However, there is a situation where sleep isn’t necessary, which is deep cultivation without distractions. Yet, the human mind is complex, and during cultivation, few can wholeheartedly engage in deep cultivation.
During deep cultivation, not only can it replace sleep, but it can also accelerate cultivation speed; it’s a way of cultivation that demands extremely high self-control.
Originally, Zang Lin and Zhen Shu couldn’t achieve this. Later on, Jian Shuangshuang brought Zang Lin and Zhen Shu along for cultivation at night.
During deep cultivation, the Mystic Energy would naturally circulate around the person’s body like breathing and wouldn’t disperse. At this time, those around who calm down and cultivate can easily enter deep cultivation.
It was only after following Jian Shuangshuang in cultivation for over four months that Zang Lin and Zhen Shu thoroughly did deep cultivation, from then replacing sleep with cultivation.
In this way, it doesn’t affect cultivation and allows pursuit of their preferred acting career. Zang Lin originally worried that acting might delay cultivation, thus putting the cart before the horse.
So even though Zang Lin really enjoyed acting, he initially only planned to act in a couple of movies for fun and then focus on cultivation properly. But now, Zang Lin doesn’t think that way anymore; he has decided not to drop acting.
Jian Shuangshuang actually was also thinking about how the movie effect would be in Yan City; although a new entertainment form like movies would certainly create a sensation.
Once, the first movie was a black-and-white silent film, which already caused numerous people’s pursuit. Such beautifully edited movies by Jian Shuangshuang, comparable to the pinnacle of fantasy effects in the modern world, couldn’t possibly be unpopular.
But without accurate numbers, it’s worrisome. Jian Shuangshuang also hopes to know how many people will like it and how much profit can be generated. After all, there’s no tipping, so ticket sales are relied upon for revenue.
After Zang Lin left, Jian Shuangshuang recalled another matter, that she seemingly should find an opportunity to proceed with her Xuan Master level certification, to obtain a Great Xuan Master status badge.
Jian Shuangshuang glanced at Du Xinning, who was quietly following her, and said to her, "Xinning, tidy up a bit. Tomorrow, we also need to make a trip to Yan City.
This trip might take a few days, remember to pack a few sets of clothes to change, and inform your uncle and aunt, you’ll also bring Xinyu along. It’s good to let you both broaden your horizons in Yan City."
Du Xinning looked a bit bewildered at Jian Shuangshuang: "Sister Shuangshuang, do I also need to go to Yan City? You can just handle the errands there; won’t it be a bother if Xinyu and I tag along?"
Jian Shuangshuang smiled and softened her voice: "This time I’m going to certify the Great Xuan Master level, and coincidentally, this year is the court’s triennial deadline for testing children for cultivation talent.
I’m planning to take you for testing to see if you can cultivate as a Xuan Master. If possible, I’ll help you activate your Xuan Qi Sea so you can cultivate Mystic Energy."
Xuan Master cultivation requires a talent test first. Once proven with cultivation talent, another Xuan Master would guide the Mystic Energy into the body, activating the Dantian position of the Xuan Qi Sea.
Only by activating the Xuan Qi Sea can one absorb external Mystic Energy through it for cultivation. Without someone helping activate the Xuan Qi Sea, no matter how high the talent, cultivation cannot be done.
The reason for testing this talent before activating the Xuan Qi Sea is because ordinary people don’t have a Xuan Qi Sea. Once invaded by Mystic Energy without one, the Mystic Energy entering the body will inevitably blow open the stomach, leading to a gruesome death. Hence talent testing must be done first.
Du Xinning had contemplated testing herself for cultivation capability, but over the years, many kids from Hundred Families Village went for testing, yet none were ever chosen, leading Du Xinning to gradually lose hope and not consider herself as one special person who could cultivate.
Yet Du Xinning couldn’t help feeling envious of those able to cultivate Mystic Energy sometimes, though she kept silent to avoid causing trouble.
Unexpectedly, Jian Shuangshuang took the initiative to take her for the talent test, causing Du Xinning’s face to immediately light up in surprise, responding crisply with a ’Yes’, before sprinting out like a gust of wind.
Watching Du Xinning dash out like a graceful butterfly, Jian Shuangshuang’s smile broadened before turning back to her room to pack her things.
Jian Shuangshuang packed sparingly; she kept ten Purple Gold Coins with her, packed one hundred gold coins and one hundred silver coins in a bag, and stored a few changeable clothes in a bamboo box, completing the task.
Not long after finishing packing, Du Xinning came back with an elated Du Xinyu, also packing a small bamboo box like Jian Shuangshuang.
Du Xinyu carried a small leather bag with clothes to change, both of their faces shared identical excitement.
Upon seeing Jian Shuangshuang, Du Xinyu immediately rushed to hug Jian Shuangshuang’s legs, blinking her round eyes excitedly, "Sister Shuangshuang, are you taking my sister and me to the city to play?"
Jian Shuangshuang bent down to pinch Du Xinyu’s baby-faced cheeks, chuckling, "Yes, I’m taking you to the city for a good time, let me know what you want, I’ll buy it for you."
After speaking, Jian Shuangshuang handed a few silver coins to Du Xinyu, "Keep these silver coins safe for yourself; you can buy whatever you like."
