## Chapter 70: The Walking Aid Is Finished
1170 Words
"So why is it called the Mystical Arts Pig Protection Society?" Zhu Lili stared at her phone screen, at a loss for words.
Liu Yanghe shrugged. "Maybe it's the sick sense of humor of whoever designed the app. But on this forum, there are many cultivation enthusiasts who have spiritual bloodlines or artifacts but haven't awakened any talent. They like to call themselves 'pigs.'"
"..."
Zhu Lili felt a pang in her heart.
So I'm actually a "pig"?
Jiang Tingyun opened the app and found it required fingerprint verification to log in. She hesitated for a moment, then followed the prompts.
As her fingerprint was gradually recognized, the word "Loading" appeared.
"I'm in!" Jiang Tingyun cried out in surprise.
Once inside, she realized that she didn't even need to register—her information had already appeared. It was directly tied to her real identity.
"Oh no, that's scary. It feels like all my personal info is exposed!" She accidentally blurted out her thoughts.
Liu Yanghe quickly explained, "It's fine. The app is completely secure and confidential. And you can choose to post under your real name or anonymously."
Then he pointed mysteriously upward. "You know... it's backed by *them*."
Jin Feifan's eyes widened, and he fell off his stool. "Really?! Does the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor actually exist?"
"..."
Everyone at Qionghua Sect had nothing to say.
Pei Jingmo simply looked at Jin Feifan as if he were an i***t.
"Ahem, no, no, no!" Liu Yanghe wanted to tear his hair out. What was all this? He gestured wildly. "I meant that higher level!"
Jiang Tingyun nodded knowingly. Got it, got it, got it.
When she entered the forum, she saw it was divided into several sections.
The most popular section was called "Piggy Paradise." There were dozens of new posts. When she clicked in, she saw everything—eating, drinking, daily life—all kinds of posts.
It seemed to be a general chat section. Jiang Tingyun selected the "featured posts" filter, and several hot threads popped up.
"Pay Attention: 365 Ways to Awaken Your Talent."
"A Seasoned Cultivation Enthusiast Explains the Difference Between Innate Spiritual Roots and Acquired Spiritual Roots."
"Shock! 46-Year-Old Auntie with No Spiritual Roots Wakes Up One Day and Accidentally Awakens a Talent."
Jiang Tingyun was immediately filled with respect. Wow! Impressive! This section seemed to have a lot of useful content!
She quickly instructed Jin Feifan, Zhu Lili, Uncle Liu, and the others.
"You should all spend some time studying the Piggy Paradise section. It might help you awaken your talents."
Liu Yanghe grinned. "Well, Piggy Paradise is the section for cultivation enthusiasts. Anyone can post anything, no permission required, so it's very active. The other sections are quieter—you only get access when you reach the corresponding cultivation level."
"For example, the 'Qi Refining Stage' section—only those of us who have already awakened a talent can post there. The 'Foundation Building' and 'Golden Core' sections basically have no posts all year. Even though we can't post, we can still read them. Occasionally, some big shots post bounties there."
Jiang Tingyun quietly tugged at Pei Jingmo's sleeve and whispered, "Look around the forum yourself and see if there's any solution."
"If you need to post a bounty, I have enough money. Remember to stay anonymous."
Pei Jingmo nodded, staring intently at his phone, his expression tense and serious.
The entire Qionghua Sect fell silent as everyone started scrolling through their phones. There was so much information on this forum!
Even the sweet potatoes were almost burnt to charcoal, and no one paid them any attention.
...
The next morning, Jiang Tingyun almost couldn't get out of bed.
Good heavens. She had been browsing the forum all night. The dark circles that had disappeared were back on her face.
But after a whole night of catching up, she realized there was very little useful information on the forum. Most of it was vague generalities.
Especially in the Qi Refining Stage section—everyone's cultivation insights were pretty much the same, just as her grandfather had said: the key was to use your talent more.
But using it more didn't necessarily mean you could level up. She saw someone who had awakened an earth-type talent, majored in civil engineering, and spent every year digging soil and building houses. Decades later, he had gone from a construction foreman to a real estate tycoon, yet he was still stuck at the Qi Refining Stage.
Terrifying.
Fortunately, she hadn't leased hundreds of acres of land to grow vegetables and sell them. She had no business sense at all. She would probably never become a vegetable tycoon—she'd just be exploited by capitalists and go bankrupt.
Jiang Tingyun yawned and walked out of her room. It was already late, but the whole Qionghua Sect was still quiet.
Looks like everyone stayed up late browsing the forum. She wondered if they had found anything useful.
"Good morning, Sect Master!" Jin Feifan walked in from the yard.
Jiang Tingyun was surprised. "Xiao Jin, you're still up early. I thought you'd sleep in too."
Jin Feifan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. "Oh, I stayed up until midnight yesterday, but those posts were so fake. There wasn't anything useful."
"There was even one that said we should play with a Ouija board to make a wish and awaken a talent. What the heck was that?"
"..." Jiang Tingyun couldn't help but facepalm.
Jin Feifan said happily, "Anyway, on to business. Sect Master, the Parkinson's walking aid I mentioned earlier—it's finished. Come take a look."
Jiang Tingyun's eyes lit up. She quickly followed him into the yard.
There, standing in the yard, was a chair-like walking aid. It was extremely well-crafted—completely different from Jin Feifan's previous crude welding projects.
Jiang Tingyun walked over and first hefted it with her hand. It had a nice weight to it. The frame material was probably decent, and the surfaces had been carefully wrapped in coarse cloth—likely to increase friction.
The wheels under the walking aid were smaller in front and larger in back, making it very stable. She tried pushing it—smooth and steady.
"The handle needs to be manually pressed to move. When you release it, the brakes engage smoothly to stabilize the body. It also uses a vibration system to stimulate the patient's gait through tactile feedback. And look at the front—I added a laser system that projects a line onto the ground for visual correction, helping restore normal gait and speed."
Jin Feifan enthusiastically explained a whole string of concepts. Though she didn't fully understand, Jiang Tingyun could tell that the walking aid he had made was genuinely impressive—nothing like his previous junk.
"I've tested it many times, designing over a dozen emergency scenarios. Basically no issues. Sect Master, should we find more people to test it?"
Jiang Tingyun nodded. "Awesome! Jin Feifan, you've really impressed me!"
