Lu Li's voice resonated through the jade pendant, echoing throughout the hall.

Even though it wasn't the first time they had communicated, everyone was thrilled and excited at the thought that this voice came from a fellow countryman in another world.

Old Wang, the academician, couldn't wait to start the exchange.

"Comrade Xiao Lu! The materials and texts you sent back from the cultivation world last time are extremely important!"

"We've made significant discoveries from them!"

Wang Zhiwen's voice was loud and full of vigor, not at all like that of an elderly person.

His words traveled back to Lu Li's ears through the jade pendant, causing him to be visibly shaken.

"Significant discoveries... Could it be..."

"Has the country really found a way to efficiently purify spiritual power?!"

Lu Li inquired, but the answer he received was somewhat unexpected.

"Not quite yet..."

"The material structure of the cultivation world is still quite different from ours."

"We're still exploring the Azure Gold Spirit Ore."

"However! We've made significant discoveries with the 'Five Elements Art' you sent back last time!"

"The Five Elements Art? A cultivation technique?"

"What... what... discovery."

Lu Li hadn't expected the country to make strides in cultivation techniques first.

To help Lu Li better understand what he was saying, Wang Zhiwen gestured to a team member beside him.

Then, a palm-sized, latest model 3D projection device was brought over.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, increase your spiritual power output and take this projection device back with you. I'll explain as you watch."

"Uh... okay..."

Lu Li was slightly taken aback, but he channeled his spiritual power with all his might. To prevent the communication from being interrupted due to spiritual power depletion, he also focused his mind to retrieve a piece of Azure Gold Spirit Ore he had saved from the jade pendant space.

"Buzz~!"

Holding the Azure Gold Spirit Ore, Lu Li absorbed the somewhat coarse spiritual power.

Then, his hand slowly reached toward the light of the jade pendant.

In the next second, a 3D projection device, resembling a tablet, appeared in his hand.

Seeing such a product in the cultivation world made Lu Li feel a sense of disbelief, almost as if he were dreaming.

If not for the cold touch reminding him, he might have thought he was dreaming.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, open the projection device. We've pre-set a playback program inside."

Wang Zhiwen's urgent voice snapped Lu Li out of his daze.

"Okay... understood."

Responding, Lu Li slid his finger lightly.

With a 'click,' the screen lock of the projection device was released.

Immediately, lines of faint blue light, full of technological flair, projected from the top of the screen.

They hovered in mid-air in front of Lu Li.

A vivid 3D projection unfolded.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, what you're seeing is the original operation of the Five Elements Art."

"This technique, as you mentioned, requires the body to simultaneously absorb five types of energy—spiritual power—through the 'spiritual root,' accumulating it within the body through the meridians."

"Each complete cycle is a full circuit."

Wang Zhiwen's voice accompanied the 3D holographic projection, gradually explaining.

The other party seemed to know exactly where the projection was in its presentation.

It was clear that for this communication meeting, the old academician had rehearsed countless times.

"I didn't expect the country to achieve this."

"The content on this projection is exactly the same as my internal view during cultivation, without the slightest difference..."

"Indeed, never underestimate the power of the nation..."

Everything before him left Lu Li in awe, making him even more eager for what was to come.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, after simulating and calculating with the quantum computer tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times..."

"We discovered that the Five Elements Art can have a more efficient operational circuit."

"Some complex cycles are unnecessary, and even some circuit paths can be altered to become more efficient."

"Alter... alter?"

Lu Li was stunned.

The projection suddenly changed.

A completely different operational route appeared before him.

Numerous meridian nodes, even key areas, were marked with detailed annotations.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, look here," Wang Zhiwen's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"The original technique requires spiritual power to simultaneously pass through the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, seemingly balanced, but in reality..."

"The five-element spiritual power creates subtle attribute conflicts here, leading to efficiency loss."

On the projection, the two meridian paths glowed red, simulating the chaotic ripples of spiritual power at this point.

"After simulation and calculation, we changed 'simultaneous absorption' to 'sequential pulse absorption'! Look..."

The scene changed, and the flow of spiritual power was no longer a steady five-color parallel.

Instead, it became rhythmic pulse peaks, like well-trained soldiers passing through a narrow gate one by one.

"Gold leads, using its sharpness to temporarily widen the meridian channel, water follows to nourish and stabilize."

"Wood regenerates, repairing minor damage caused by the pulse."

"Fire bursts, further activating the channel, and finally, earth concludes... solidifying the foundation and preparing for the next pulse cycle."

"Each attribute's spiritual power intake creates a more optimal environment for the next attribute's cycle!"

"According to our calculations... the improved Five Elements Art, theoretically... can increase cultivation speed by at least three to five times!"

"This..."

In Lu Li's mind, it was as if thunder had struck.

Increasing cultivation speed by 'three' to 'five' times...

What does this mean?

This isn't just an improvement.

It's practically optimizing a basic, common technique into something comparable to a top-tier technique.

The terrifying analytical and optimization capabilities of the national machinery made him truly feel the immense power of "scientific cultivation"!

"Gulp~!"

"Academician Wang... can this really work?"

Lu Li swallowed hard, unsure of what to say.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiwen suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere seemed to grow heavy.

Indeed, the demonstration was all theoretical.

If Lu Li were to actually attempt cultivation, the risks would undoubtedly be significant.

If he failed or went astray...

"Comrade Lu Li, this is Li Yuanchao."

"What Old Wang just mentioned is all theoretical. My advice is not to experiment lightly."

"You can consider it as reference material. As for your current predicament... we can think of other solutions."

"In any case, all methods must prioritize your safety."

The voice shifted to Li Yuanchao.

Hearing this, Lu Li also fell silent.

Although he couldn't believe the country had achieved this in just a few days, looking at the extremely detailed cultivation projection in front of him, with the useless circuits flashing red...

His intuition told him... it was worth a try!

Lu Li took a deep breath, gripping the jade pendant tightly, his voice gradually firming: "I... trust the nation!"
