She and Lin Xiangdong were discussing their trip to the Imperial Capital.
There were no more phone calls.
Lin Beichen finally had the chance to open all the major social media platforms and browse through the trending topics about himself.
He finally understood why so many people immediately knew about his interview. With this level of attention... it would be strange if no one knew.
However, with his elevated mental state, the doubts and dismissals online did not cause even the slightest ripple in his heart. It was as if the discussions were about someone else and had nothing to do with him.
Having understood the situation online,
Lin Beichen was no longer curious.
He first cleaned the remaining half of the gymnasium, then wasted no time, sitting cross-legged and starting his cultivation.
What he didn’t know was that at this moment...
The northeastern corner, once considered a "deserted area," was suddenly flooded with people from all directions. Judging by their movement, they were all heading toward the gymnasium.
They were all students of Imperial Capital University.
Seeing the trending topic online and the posts in the school forum, they were all curious about Lin Beichen’s method of immortal cultivation. Learning that his research room was in the gymnasium, they came over to try their luck and see if they could catch a glimpse of Lin Beichen’s so-called "immortal cultivation."
"Hey, Chen Bin, you’re here too?"
"Wang Guoqi, I didn’t expect to see you here!"
"What’s happening? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden? Are they all here to see Lin Beichen?"
"No way, I thought I would be the only one interested in coming to take a look, but it turns out everyone had the same idea?"
"Ha ha ha, Lin Beichen is so funny, saying something about immortal cultivation. I came to see how he does it."
"Seems like everyone else thought the same thing?"
"I hope he’s really cultivating when we get there, so our trip won’t be in vain."
"Eh, if he’s not there cultivating this time, we can come back another time. We’ll see it eventually, unless he was totally making things up during the interview."
They chatted amongst themselves.
Soon, this large group of people reached the gymnasium. They didn’t push the door open but surrounded the building and peered inside through the aged, tea-colored glass windows.
Lin Beichen was sitting cross-legged, five centers facing the sky, completely still, like an old monk in meditation.
"Look, that’s Lin Beichen! He’s really here!"
"What is he doing now? Could this be immortal cultivation?"
"Is this immortal cultivation? No way! Just sitting with crossed legs... that’s cultivation?"
"If this is cultivation, then I’m sorry... I can ’cultivate’ too."
"This is totally different from what I imagined. Even though immortal cultivation sounds like a joke, it shouldn’t look like a joke too, should it?"
The whispering never stopped.
Seeing Lin Beichen sitting motionless in the gymnasium, the students were extremely disappointed with his so-called "immortal cultivation," which was completely different from what they had imagined.
Many of them weren’t just talking but also started recording.
They took out their phones and began filming Lin Beichen inside the gymnasium, then quickly posted the videos online, hoping to ride the wave of popularity and gain more followers.
[Mouse Hunter]: "Suspected Lin Beichen’s Secret Immortal Technique!"
[Galactic Fall to Earth]: "I saw Lin Beichen seemingly cultivating in the gymnasium. This must be his method of immortal cultivation."
Once the accompanying texts and videos were posted, they were wildly shared, like gasoline poured onto a blazing fire, making Lin Beichen even more popular online.

The topic quickly appeared on the trending searches.
More and more netizens saw the videos recorded by the students through this trending topic.
"Guys, who gets this? They said it’s immortal cultivation, but it’s just sitting meditating?"
"Is this for real? This is supposed to be immortal cultivation? Look at my kid doing the same thing! [Five-year-old child sitting cross-legged].JPG."
"This is immortal cultivation? So, I get it, this means everyone can cultivate?"
"If this is Lin Beichen’s so-called immortal cultivation, then sorry, but I think he’s kind of deceiving us, attracting attention and gaining traffic!"
"University recon team, keep observing and share information!"
"Never thought I’d see someone ’cultivating’ online one day. Haha, this is too real!"
The students who posted the videos were thrilled to see their Weibo comments instantly exceed 999+ and their followers skyrocketing. They were ecstatic and felt encouraged, with no intention of leaving, continuing to record.
Lin Beichen, having finished a round of cultivation, noticed that the gymnasium was surrounded by people.
If he hadn’t known about the current situation online, he might have wondered what was going on. But now, he instantly understood they were here to see him and the excitement.
"Among these people, besides those just here for the spectacle, could there be someone genuinely interested in what I call ’immortal cultivation,’ even if they don’t believe it but are still interested?"
Thinking this, an image suddenly flashed through Lin Beichen’s mind.
In the dormitory, he had just told the principal about using his body as a medium to control thunder, and Han Yuan laughed, telling him to teach him.
