Anything can occur within Psychiatric hospitals. You can cultivate there as much as you want. Perhaps one day you will reach enlightenment...and calm your mind.
Do you think it is possible for cultivators to exist in real life?

No idea really,
but if you go by the definition of "cultivating" in a very simple case like 'cultivating the land' then the food that we eat is the land and the crops and trees that are cultivated on that land are actually the cells born within our body.
The only difference is that how tall are the trees that can grow on your land.
But on the other hand if your land is strong enough to become a mountain then I don't think that the height of the trees would matter anymore.
Just saying

Many people that want to learn how to become a xianxia cultivator but honestly they do not deserve it. Most people that want to be cultivators never took even an hour to just sit and meditate or even for 10 minutes, or also immediately giving up after just reading one forum. In real life there may have been a cultivator, a person from ancient times when he clapped it was enough to break someone's ear drums. The best method to learn how to become a body or xiandao cultivator ultimately is to go to China and try excavating(archaeology). Specifically mountain areas since in real life very long time ago sects( I don't know about cultivator sects) are generally reclusive, considering the fact that there is no publicly known Xiandao or body cultivation manuals out there. So that's your best luck is excavating and perhaps eventually you may even find a genuine ancient cultivation manual.

Finally people who also think like me. Here is a theory I came up with.
Immortal Through Religion is another possibility. I will talk about Christianity since I'm more familiar with it. You can say that God or the True God is the best to become immortal through in this religion. Some think that he is the only god.h e said he is the only True God not the only god. He said he made humans in his image and likeness, so that mean he gave us the ability to do things like him. He created us so that mean we can create life or things that are in our image and likeness, which to an extent means we are little gods. So that mean that either every or most souls you see are either a part of the True God ,he took part of himself to create our souls, or he awakened first from the collected conscious and help nurture and awaken other souls ahead of time. What this mean is that we become gods or god like but never a True God like him. Immortality of is seen as a trait for gods or god like beings, immortals as an example. Anyway to become immortal through this way is to abide by their teaching in each religion. You are trying to make your god acknowledge you and use their power to increase your lifespan, and as you rise in ranks of your religion your knowledge increase, and also your body will be strength. You may even be able to gain and/or change into a new form and/or race, Angels for some religions. This way also means that you have to open yourself or soul to them and allow them to enter and change you so you can become immortal through their power. There will be other immortals or gods that will find souls and/or make religion it give a chance to mortals. There many ways to become immortal but these are the two easiest ways that I have come up with that have a higher chance of reaching Immortality. The other ways are harder to execute or performed. The first example can be seen in the real world and data can be found that being active let you live longer so what if you work with that goal in mind instead of passively get it as a benefit. This mean instead of working to gain strength with the side benefit of longer lifespan, we should work for longer lifespan with the side benefit of strength. There are many people that can become immortal because of religion. As they gain more followers and/or mortals and make a connection, that allows some gods and/or immortals may gain the knowledge of that followers which will help them step closer to becoming omniscient. Let me know how this theory sound, and if I should go further into the theory.
Mortal life as Foundation for immortal life
You can consider living a long mortal life for at least 1000 years (mortal saint) and experience mortal life as Qi Gathering (immortal way). You can consider the time when a mortal accept his dreams, ideas, thought out possible what if or alternatively different reality as past lives and the him of now is the base personality for the future and use those as experience and opportunities to understand things faster even if they have not experienced it as Foundation Establishment (immortal way) You can consider that the time a mortal anchor their current personality as the base and prepare for death and accept the different possibilities of death and avoid them or experience them to lay a barrier around themselves and nurture more experience and possibilities that are experienced in different ways and thought up of or even dreamed of as Core Formation (immortal way) The mortal can continue to live life or experience death and experience death but this also a tribulation as if the will is not strong their memories will be erased and not be able to experience birth from the moment of time intermingling of yin (female egg) and yang (male sperm) and use DNA of good quality and less bad like defects and establish a better mortal foundation and stronger soul or a conscious cluster of Qi or molecules. The mortal could continue to live longer and hope their soul is strong enough to hold their body together and maybe even slow or stop the aging of the body or with a strong foundation or soul can even reverse back to youth to a certain extent. Their may be chance where bad luck or tribulation start to happen and death may be present and if you get through it you can live longer and which can be considered as tribulation for the for the mortal and/or to advance or known as Nascent Soul (immortal way). This the last I'm going to give for now the mortal will have their soul strength increase and compress and experience quantitative and qualitative change or the conscious Qi or molecules compress and improve and gather more molecules and increase density or strength to hold mortal body but their will come a time of tribulation where the soul start getting weak and/or tired and the body might start to aging again and they have to will themselves to continue live and experience another qualitative change to the soul or conscious Qi or molecules which can be called Divinity Soul, Enlightened Soul, Transcendent Mortal, or Tribulation Crossing (immortal way) There are was to make this faster by living in virtual reality and experience different possibilities and death possibilities without putting the mortal body at harm and experience many things and may strength the soul faster.

I believe they do
as for cultivating, you could say those who temper their body are somewhat body cultivators, and those who follow religious sects and maphysics can be called spiritual cultivators, martial arts is the perfect combination of these two, you have to follow a breathing pattern and move your body at the same time, meditation with a correct breathing technique may as well be one method as well.

All right, let's level it up.
Brain is the most evolved organ within our body and that is why it is present at the top of evolutionary ladder also known as the spinal chord.
Considering that the brain operates on the basis of only five sensory organs, where each sensory organ somehow fundamentally corresponds to each of the five basic elements of the world, it is not actually very difficult to perform basic elemental cultivation.
So if aliens can exist, let's face it cultivators can too.

To answer this question we first need to ask ourselves what energy is. What is energy? We first need to know what may be God.
We know that the world has laws governing everything, matter and energy as well life... We don't need to think so much about the physical aspect of everything, but the spiritual aspect. If the world has universal laws, which we are far from fully understanding, what is the point of origin of these laws? What defines how the world we know or don't know should work? In my opinion, this is God. I don't know what or who God is, but I can feel divine permission in everything that happens.
Good and evil, creation and destruction, reality and fantasy... Everything is as it should be. I can say that the laws that allow the world to function as we know it are reflections of God's Will. But... Can we really know and understand God? I don't know, but I know that this Will rules and permits everything, including our imagination... So, it is interesting to ask yourself what separates our imagination from reality? Our thoughts have approval of the laws of this world, what guarantees that it is impossible for this world to function in a completely different way than we are used to?
Now back to the first question, our science is still far from understanding the essence of energy. But I have an alternative answer for myself, no matter what the energy is, it can undoubtedly change over time.
Energy may be seen as the currency of the world, really. From the very beginning as we know until now. Our imagination consumes energy, our reality consumes energy... Perhaps tomorrow we will all wake up with the ability to cultivate, or with magical powers. Or maybe we can just change the way we look at the world, and see fantasy as part of our reality. Or maybe, one day we can make the fantasy come true.
We don't know who or what God is, any more than we know what energy is. Do the laws of the world consume energy too? Who knows. I believe everything may be possible, because God's Will may have no limits. Cultivation is just a small part of the infinite possibilities.
