Forced to become a top influencer, I rely on my tu cao to ruin the cultivation world.

The mornings at Qingyun Sect are no longer awakened by the melodious morning bell, but by a jarringly catchy song.

"The vast horizon is my love... Flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..."

A tremendous sound wave, like tangible ripples, surged from the giant horn atop the "psychic tractor" in the mountain gate square, penetrating every corner of the Qingyun Sect along the spiritual energy channels of the mountain-protecting array.

Inside the inner disciple's cave, a senior brother who was in seclusion attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage suddenly opened his eyes, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood. His proud Dao heart, to the beat of this "boom-boom" rhythm, actually felt a slight... urge to sway along.

"You wicked creature! This is definitely a demon in your heart!" he roared, trying to suppress it with a calming spell, but he found that his spiritual power was unconsciously stuck on the rhythm of "stay".

The outer disciples' dormitory was in complete chaos.

"Who is it?! What kind of song is that so early in the morning?!"

"Stop arguing! I just memorized the Qingyun Clan Rules last night, but I've completely forgotten them. All I can think about is 'What kind of rhythm is the most... the most swaying?'"

"It sounds like it's coming from... the mountain gate? I heard that demon Jia Zang is up to his old tricks again!"

Countless disciples rushed out of their dormitories, disheveled, and looked in the direction of the sound. There, on the mountain gate square, the tractor emitting blue smoke resembled a giant mobile stage, and Jia Zhuang was standing on the roof, wearing a tracksuit with the "Qingyun Heavy Industry" logo printed on it, which he had somehow acquired. He was holding a large megaphone and giving a passionate speech to the hundreds of outer disciples gathered below.

"Fellow disciples! Fellow brothers and sisters!"

"Do you find cultivation tedious? Do you find breathing exercises monotonous? Are you anxious every day about the slow growth of your spiritual power?"

"Today! I, Jia Zhuang, bring you a revolutionary artifact! It requires no price from you, only that you... take action!"

Jia Zhuang suddenly waved his hand, and Zhao Si immediately brought out rows of strangely shaped metal devices from the tractor. These devices looked like simplified versions of "spiritual energy chargers," but with many strange handles and foot pedals.

"This is... the equipment specifically designed for 'Psionic Resonance Gymnastics'!"

Jia Zang introduced it with a serious expression.

"Broadcast...gymnastics?"

The disciples below looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never heard of this term before.

"That's right!" Jia Zhuang jumped out of the car, picked up a piece of equipment, and began to demonstrate. "This isn't ordinary gymnastics! This is a 'Spiritual Energy Acceleration Method' that I specially tailored for you, combining the 'Rhythmic Resonance' principle of the mountain-protecting formation!"

"You see, when I do this 'stretching exercise,' the spiritual energy in my body flows along the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin; when I do the 'chest expansion exercise,' the spiritual energy gathers at the Tanzhong acupoint..."

As Jia Zhuang spoke, he made all sorts of extremely strange, yet inexplicably captivating movements. His actions perfectly matched the roar of the tractor engine and the rhythm of the song "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style," as if he were not doing aerobics but performing a sacred ritual.

"I know you don't believe me! So, today I'm offering one hundred free spots! Who wants to experience it?!"

"I!"

A burly outer disciple stepped forward. He was Wang Tiezhu, a notorious "brute" in the outer sect. After ten years of cultivation, he was still stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining and had long since lost all hope.

"Alright! Senior Brother Wang, please bring the equipment!"

Wang Tiezhu awkwardly stood on the equipment and gripped the handle.

"Ready? Music, start!"

"The vast horizon is my love..."

As the music started, Jia Zhuang shouted, "First section, stretching exercises! One, two, three, four..."

Wang Tiezhu followed Jia Zhuang's movements, awkwardly stretching his body. At first, he felt extremely ashamed of the action, and the gazes of the surrounding disciples made him wish he could disappear into the ground.

But just as he was doing the "chest expansion exercise," something unexpected happened!

"Buzz—"

The instrument in his hand suddenly vibrated, and a surge of pure spiritual energy flowed into his meridians through the handle, creating a wonderful resonance with his own spiritual energy!

"This...this is..."

Wang Tiezhu's eyes widened. He could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in his body, which had been stagnant for a long time, had begun to circulate wildly!

"Section Two, Chest Expansion Exercises! Two, two, three, four..."

"boom!"

A powerful surge of energy erupted from Wang Tiezhu's body. In full view of everyone, his cultivation level had broken through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level!

"Breakthrough... You broke through?!"

The entire room fell silent.

All the disciples stared wide-eyed at Wang Tiezhu in disbelief.

"This...how is this possible?! Breakthroughs can be achieved just by doing exercises?!"

"I don't believe it! I want to try it too! I want to try it too!"

The crowd erupted in excitement, with countless disciples frantically pushing forward, all wanting to be the next "lucky one".

[Livestream chat]

[Hahaha! Is the streamer trying to get everyone working out?]

[The one in front, this is called "Scientific Cultivation of Immortality, Starting with Me!"]

Wang Tiezhu: I do exercises, and I'm proud of it!

[I can already picture the entire sect doing exercises together tomorrow!]

Jia Zang watched this scene with satisfaction and made a "V" sign at the live broadcast camera.

"Family members, did you see that? This is the power of 'Rhythmic Cultivation'! It doesn't discriminate based on spiritual roots or aptitude; as long as you're willing to take action, you can become stronger!"

"However, equipment alone isn't enough! We need a larger venue, a place where everyone can participate!"

Jia Zhuang's gaze slowly shifted to the core area of ​​the Qingyun Sect—the martial arts arena.

That place is where inner disciples and true disciples usually exchange and discuss the Dao, and it is also one of the most sacred places in the Qingyun Sect.

"Master! Could we... possibly borrow the training ground?"

Jia Zang shouted to the sky.

Li Changfeng was currently hovering above the martial arts arena, his face dark with anger. He had just been awakened from his seclusion and had just heard the news of Wang Tiezhu's breakthrough.

"What...what do you want to do?" Li Changfeng's voice carried a hint of ominous premonition.

"It's very simple!" Jia Zhuang laughed. "I'm going to hold a 'Thousand-Person Radio Gymnastics' session right here! All my disciples will follow my rhythm and practice together!"

"Nonsense!" Li Changfeng roared, "The martial arts arena is our sect's sacred ground, how dare you...dance here!"

"Master, you are mistaken!"

Jia Zhuang said in a serious tone, "This isn't a disco; it's clearly 'collective enlightenment'! Think about it, when a thousand disciples do the exercises at the same time, their spiritual energy fluctuations will resonate. This resonance will feed back to the mountain-protecting array, which will then return the purified spiritual energy to them... It's a perfect cycle!"

"At that time, the overall strength of the Qingyun Sect will be elevated to a higher level! Isn't that what you most want to see?"

Li Changfeng fell silent.

He knew Jia Zang was talking nonsense, but he couldn't refute it. Because Wang Tiezhu's breakthrough was real, and the "rhythmization" of the mountain-protecting formation was also real.

"...Only once."

After a long silence, Li Changfeng squeezed out four words through gritted teeth.

"Thank you so much, Master!" Jia Zhuang was overjoyed. "I guarantee this will be the most glorious day in the history of the Qingyun Sect!"

That noon, at the Qingyun Sect's martial arts arena.

Thousands of disciples, regardless of whether they were from the inner or outer sect, or regardless of age or gender, had gathered here. They held the "spiritual resonance devices" provided by Jia Zang in their hands, their faces showing a mixture of excitement and shame.

Jia Zang stood on the high platform in the center of the training ground, with the roaring tractor behind him.

"System, activate 'Server-wide Synchronization' mode! I want to force the spiritual energy fluctuations of these thousands of people to synchronize!" Jia Zhuang issued the command in his mind.

[Ding! Host detected preparing for a large-scale "group behavior domestication" experiment.]

[The system is analyzing the compatibility between "Radio Gymnastics" and "Spiritual Resonance"...]

[Compatibility: 100%!]

[Special buff activated: The host will become the "metronome of the entire arena," and all cultivators who follow the host's movements will temporarily see a 50% increase in spiritual energy circulation efficiency!]

Jia Zang smirked, pushed up his sunglasses, and raised his right hand to the thousands of people below.

Fellow disciples!

"Today, we will witness history together!"

"Let's set aside our pride and prejudices, and for the sake of becoming stronger, for the future of the Qingyun Sect... let's take action!"

"Music, start!"

"The vast horizon is my love..."

The music started again, and Jia Zang shouted loudly:

"Section One: Stretching Exercises! One, two, three, four..."

At first, the disciples' movements were uneven; some were fast, some were slow, and some didn't even know which direction to reach out.

But gradually, under Jia Zang's guidance and to the rhythm of the tractor, their movements began to become more synchronized.

"Two, two, three, four..."

"Three, two, three, four..."

When thousands of people made the same move at the same time, an unprecedentedly large fluctuation of spiritual energy erupted from the center of the training ground!

This fluctuation was no longer chaotic, but carried a strange rhythm, crashing against the mountain-protecting formation wave after wave like a tide!

"Buzz—!!!"

The protective array trembled violently, and the seven-colored light flashed again, but this time, it was no longer a chaotic dance, but a rhythmic movement, like breathing!

The disciples in the training ground all felt the feedback from the great formation. Their spiritual energy circulation speed was several times faster than usual!

"This...this is...the power of collective training?"

An inner disciple murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is...this is amazing!"

Another disciple was so excited that he trembled all over. He discovered that the bottleneck he had been struggling with for many years was showing signs of loosening in this "radio gymnastics"!

[Ding! Large-scale spiritual energy resonance detected!]

[The protective mountain formation has been detected to be "modified"... The formation's logic is being rewritten: switching from "defense mode" to "disco mode"!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully achieved the "collective taming of the entire sect"!]

[Gained Honkai Points: +5000!]

[Achievement: "King of Square Dancing" (When worn, all living beings within a hundred miles will involuntarily move to the music).]

[Livestream chat]

Holy crap! A thousand people doing exercises! That's spectacular!

[What's described above is called "group domestication"!]

Even the system couldn't stand it anymore! What the heck is this "Disco Mode"?

[I can already picture the scene tomorrow where people from all the major sects will come to watch!]

Li Changfeng hovered high in the sky, looking down at the neatly arranged "army doing exercises" and the rhythmic mountain-protecting formation, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He knew that he could never go back to the Qingyun Sect.

This once solemn and dignified cultivation sect has been completely led astray by Jia Zang.

but……

He had to admit that the strength of the Qingyun Sect was indeed growing at a visible rate.

"Never mind..."

Li Changfeng sighed deeply and closed his eyes.

"As long as it doesn't explode..."

Standing on the high platform, Jia Zang listened to the system's notification in his mind and looked at the screen full of "+5000" and a victorious smile appeared on his lips.

"Family members, did you see that?"

He spoke softly to the live stream camera:

"This is my 'rhythm.' Tomorrow, we will have our 'final rehearsal,' making the entire Qingyun Sect my 'stage'!"
