"He's so handsome!"
"He's so cute!"
"Handsome guy, leave your name before you go."
"Hey, handsome, look over here."
"Handsome guy, I want to have your babies."
"…"
The three boys entered the theater, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"Sister-in-law, everyone in this world is so enthusiastic!" Li Yishu said, his cheeks reddening with shyness.
Hanno chuckled, "That's because they like you and are expressing their affection."
"I like them too," Li Yishu replied.
Jia Qianjun walked over, linking his arm with Long Wenwen's. It seemed their relationship was progressing quite well. The last time they had the Three Washing Ceremony, Jia Qianjun brought Long Wenwen along to introduce her to Hanno and Elder Brother Li. After getting to know Long Wenwen, Hanno realized she was a wonderful girl—open and cheerful, someone worth getting to know.
"Oh, are you here for dog food?" Hanno joked with the two of them. "When are you planning to hold a wedding?"
Jia Qianjun smiled happily, "Don't worry, it won't be long. Are these three your younger brothers?"
Hanno replied with a grin, "That's right; they are my Wei Feng's younger brothers: Li Yishu, Wen Zixue, and Wen Ziyu."
Hanno pointed them out one by one and then said to the three, "This gentleman is the director of the movie; you can call him Brother Jia. The other one is Brother Jia's girlfriend; you should call her Sister Long."
"Brother Jia, Sister Long!" the three called out obediently.
"Hello there," Jia Qianjun said as he pulled out three jade pendants and handed them to the trio. "A gift for our meeting."
Hanno smiled with squinted eyes, knowing that Jia Qianjun had something valuable in his hands; he must also have a space bound to his soul.
"Thank you, Brother Jia," the three replied hurriedly.
Hanno reminded them, "The jade pendants Brother Jia gave you are quite precious. You should keep them on you at all times and not lose them."
"Understood." The three quickly tucked the pendants close to their bodies. Just looking at the luster of the jade made them realize that these three pieces were worth a lot. With Hanno's words, they valued the pendants even more.
Long Wenwen also presented a gift to the trio, though it was nothing compared to what Jia Qianjun had given. It was merely a medicinal pill for strengthening bones that a mortal could consume. In the past, it would have been a decent gift for them, but now, after undergoing transformation from the Peach of Immortality, these pills held little significance.
"Your three younger brothers are quite handsome; all of them are good-looking," Jia Qianjun said with a smile. "Have you ever thought about acting in movies?"
The trio's eyes lit up at once.
Wen Zixue tilted his head and asked, "Movies? Does that mean we can fly like the characters in those films and manipulate fire and water?"
Jia Qianjun burst into laughter at this: "Those effects are all created in post-production. Real people can't fly or control flames."
He could tell that the trio lacked Spiritual Roots and were only cultivating Inner Power, so becoming Cultivators was out of the question; all the effects seen in movies were just special effects.
"Oh, I see!" Wen Zixue lost interest, but Wen Ziyu and Li Yishu were intrigued, thinking that acting in movies would allow them to experience a different kind of life, which sounded fascinating.
Jia Qianjun noticed their enthusiasm and said with a grin, "When I start filming my next movie, how about you come and play some supporting roles?"
The two nodded eagerly.
Hanno noticed someone approaching, wanting to speak with the renowned director Jia Qianjun, so he took his seat with San at the front and waited. After more than ten minutes, everyone settled into their seats, and the meeting began. Jia Qianjun did not sit in the front row but chose to sit beside Hanno.
"What’s going on?" Hanno asked in a voice just slightly louder than a whisper, ensuring that only Jia Qianjun and Long Wenwen, the Cultivator, could hear him.
"I'm planning to visit another world soon. Do you and Wei Feng want to join me?" Jia Qianjun inquired.
"Which world?" Hanno's interest was piqued, and he quickly asked.
"The world of Shushan Swordman," Jia Qianjun replied.
"Why choose such a world? The martial prowess there is quite high; it could be dangerous!" Hanno remarked.
Jia Qianjun explained, "That world is filled with rare treasures, and its realm divisions are different from ours. The so-called Celestial Realm there is comparable to our Transcendence Stage, and even the highest cultivation level, the Golden Immortal Realm, is similar to my own cultivation level. We would have sufficient strength to protect ourselves. Besides, Wenwen's cultivation level is relatively low; it's a perfect opportunity for him to train and improve."
"That last point seems to be the most important one," Hanno teased. "The world of Shushan Swordman sounds interesting. Wei Feng and I will sign up for it."
Jia Qianjun agreed, "Alright, in half a month, we will set off for the world of Shushan Swordman together."
Later, when Elder Brother Li returned from the Great Zhou to the modern era, he found his beloved wife Nono half-buried under the bed, searching for something.
"Nono, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a book," Hanno's voice came from beneath the bed.
"A book? What book are you looking for?" Elder Brother Li squatted down beside Hanno. "Can't you just use your Divine Sense to find it?"
"That would be boring! It's more fun to search for it myself," Hanno replied. "I remember buying a complete set of twenty-five volumes of The Legend of the Swordsman of Mount Shu for Dad. Where did I put it?"
"The Legend of the Swordsman of Mount Shu?" Elder Brother Li asked in confusion. "What made you think of reading that book?"
Hanno said, "Jia Qianjun wants to enter the world of Shushan Swordman to help his girlfriend level up and has invited us to join him for some fun."
"The world of Shushan Swordman?" Elder Brother Li was intrigued. "I've heard there are plenty of magical treasures and good stuff in there."
Hanno nodded eagerly. "Yes! Are you interested in going?"
Elder Brother Li laughed. "Don't you know me best? Are we going or not?"
"I found it!" Hanno cheered, crawling out from under the bed with a large stack of books in his arms, which he promptly pushed into Elder Brother Li's embrace. "If you want to go to the world of Shushan Swordman, you need to read all these books first."
Elder Brother Li looked at the thick stack of twenty-five volumes, astonished. "So many?"
Hanno huffed a couple of times. "These are just the main series of The Legend of the Swordsman of Mount Shu, and it's not even complete since The Master of the Pearl Tower hasn't finished writing it yet. There are also related prequels, sequels, side stories, and new tales like Emei Seven Dwarfs, Changmei Zhenren's Tale, Qingcheng Nineteen Heroes, Wudang Stranger Chronicles, Savage Hero Hidden, and so on. I didn't even bring those out."
Elder Brother Li was even more surprised. "You bought all those books?"
Hanno nodded proudly. "Of course! I'm a loyal reader of The Master of the Pearl Tower. I've been reading his works since I learned to read. After I started working and earning money, I bought every book he wrote to collect them."
Elder Brother Li admired him greatly. "You really are dedicated."
Looking down at the huge stack of books made him feel a headache coming on. "Isn't there a TV? Can't we just watch that?"
Hanno scoffed. "Those TV shows and movies are all nonsense; they only take a few characters from the books and completely mess up the plot. For instance, characters like Dan Chenzi and Ziying don't even exist in the books."
Elder Brother Li struggled for a moment longer. "Haven't you watched them?"
Hanno replied, "I haven't seen them in ages; I only remember the general plot but not the details clearly. If we want to seize the treasures inside before Emei does, we must understand the details thoroughly."
Elder Brother Li finally gave up his resistance. "Alright then, let's read together."
Hanno smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just reminiscing about the amazement I felt when I first saw this book."
Elder Brother Li asked, "When are we going to Shushan World?"
Hanno replied, "In half a month, that should be enough time for us to thoroughly review 'The Legend of the Swordsman of Mount Shu' two or three times."
...
Like Jia Qianjun's other films, 'Slay the Dragon Vein' also achieved great box office success and critical acclaim, with all the actors becoming popular. Not only did Face Fans rave about the actors' looks, but many ordinary viewers and critics also praised their acting skills and charisma, believing that these portrayals truly represented the image of a Cultivator. The members of the Special Department couldn't help but feel envious. After all, the actors were Cultivators themselves. However, what frustrated the fans was that they couldn't find any information about these actors! Aside from their names, details like age, height, preferences, and previous works were all blank. To make matters worse, none of them had opened Weibo accounts, leaving fans unable to find any way to connect with them. The most infuriating part was that after filming wrapped up, these actors seemed to vanish! Not only did they disappear, but even the originally dedicated male lead Malangyu went missing as well; he was nowhere to be found. The only clue came from Malangyu's Weibo post: "Don't think too much about me; I'm off to cultivate. When will I return? It's hard to say!"
(╯‵□′)╯︵ ┻━┻. Student Ma really thinks that just because he played a Cultivator in a film, he has become one himself?
In reality, after filming the movie, each Cultivator felt their mindset had improved and thus went into seclusion for cultivation. The only one whose mindset didn’t improve was naturally Student Malangyu. However, eager to advance quickly into the Qi Refinement Stage, he still used his storage bag. So after filming concluded, Student Ma stayed in the Qingcheng Mountain Secret Realm to cultivate alongside Master Ma Zhenren. His parents were overjoyed when they learned he had gained such an opportunity and donated a large sum of money to the Qingcheng Sect. The sect's master was also pleased; now the disciples wouldn’t have to worry about money while traveling.
While everyone online was bustling about trying to track down the cast of 'Slay the Dragon Vein,' Hanno and Elder Brother Li arrived at Jia Qianjun's upscale home in the Provincial Capital. The four of them sat on either side of the sofa.
"Are you ready?"
Except for Long Wenwen, who seemed a bit nervous, Hanno and Elder Brother Li nodded calmly.
"Then let's go!"
