My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 11: Skyrocketing
“This is the effect of national destiny!”

"It saved me a lot of training time and allowed me to directly master a high-level body-building method!"

There was a gleam of excitement in Zhou Ping's pupils.

He opened the virtual box.

Look at a line of golden fonts.

[Should I consume 16 points of national fortune to improve my spiritual roots?]

The first upgrade of spiritual roots consumed only 2 points, while further upgrades required a full 16 points. After two deductions, the training method was upgraded to a high-level body-building method, which also consumed only 16 points.

I thought about it.

He made up his mind and chose yes.

boom.

The virtual frame vibrated slightly.

Then the remaining 20 points of national fortune quickly became 4 points.

In an instant.

The dragon on Zhou Ping's spine was affected by the invisible energy and became extremely hot. He knew that this was his spiritual root undergoing transformation. This state lasted for a very short time. After it ended, his pupils suddenly widened before he had time to adapt to his body.

At this moment, he felt the cool air sliding across his skin.

As a prospective practitioner.

Of course he knew that the cold air flow was spiritual energy.

But before, I could only feel it when I practiced breathing techniques and entered that specific state. But now, I can sense the spiritual energy even though I haven’t practiced!

Obviously.

After two improvements, his spiritual talent has reached the level where he can sense the spiritual energy of the universe without any practice.

"16 points of national fortune consumed!"

Zhou Ping clenched his fists.

Then start taking deep breaths.

Wait until you calm down.

He practiced the "Purple Air Breathing Method". As he controlled the various muscles and acupoints to perform breathing rhythms, the dragon in his spine began to heat up again. The cold airflow sensed by his skin immediately penetrated into his body along some acupoints.

This time it lasted a full ten minutes before reaching saturation.

Zhou Ping didn't bother to look at the psychic watch, and hurriedly practiced the "Twelve Thunder Body Tempering Methods". This body tempering method can effectively precipitate and transform the spiritual energy absorbed by the body, and allow the body to adapt to the spiritual environment.

When I first started, my movements were a little awkward.

But as time went by, muscle memory took effect, and there was a faint sound of thunder between the movements and punches.

It took a full half hour to complete this set of body-building exercises.

call.

Sweat was pouring down my body.

He quickly looked at his psychic watch and saw that it showed a psychic value of 0.7.

See this.

Zhou Ping showed ecstasy!

This time, his spiritual energy increased by over 50%, which was a full ten times what he had gained from practicing the Purple Qi Breathing Technique before!

Simply incredible.

Although his spiritual roots were upgraded twice, his training method was upgraded twice, and his breathing training method was also deduced twice, he really didn't expect the cumulative effect to be so terrifying.

"According to this rate of spiritual energy growth, I have achieved in one month what Zhu Yuyang has achieved in half a year. And this doesn't even include the adaptation of the spiritual energy nutrient solution to my body!"

this moment.

He was in great spirits and wanted to laugh out loud.

But in the end, reason suppressed the impulsive emotions.

Go to the balcony.

Looking at the children playing and frolicking below, Zhou Ping smiled brightly, "The future is promising, the future is promising!"

It's time for dinner.

This emotion has not completely subsided.

Sitting in a restaurant.

He couldn't find anyone to share his joy for a while, so he looked through his contacts again and again, and finally sent an address to Chen Xue.

Not long after, Chen Xue drove to the entrance of the restaurant.

Seeing him sitting across from him, Zhou Ping couldn't help but jokingly said, "You really came."

Chen Xue crossed her long legs and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou just helped me make a lot of money, so of course he will do whatever I ask for."

She seemed to have not had time to change her clothes. The round white curve of her chest was very eye-catching and sexy under the light. Her red lips were charming, and her eyes between her eyelashes were even more charming and mature. She looked at Zhou Ping and continued, "You can't suppress the joy on your face. I didn't see you like this when signing the contract today. It seems that there is something happy going on. Okay, I'll have a few drinks with you."

"Boss, do you have any wine?"

The restaurant owner replied, "Yes, do you want beer or white wine?"

Zhou Ping waved his hand and said, "Give me a few beers."

After saying this, he said with a half-smile: "With your status as Manager Chen, have you ever drunk beer?"

Chen Xue rolled her eyes beautifully. "Don't think I'm some detached girl. Back in school, I often drank beer with my roommates."

Soon.

There were six or seven empty bottles on the table in front of the two men.

The smell of alcohol permeates the air.

However, the two of them were not very drunk.

Chen Xue asked, "Zhou Ping, if you have any good news, you can tell me now."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Of course it's the happy occasion of signing the contract."

Listen to this.

Chen Xue pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't tell me, I'll leave."

"There is indeed a good thing."

Zhou Ping's expression turned serious. "I'm planning to contract a piece of land. The larger the better. I don't know many people, so I'd like you to help me."

Chen Xue was speechless, "How can this be considered a good thing?"

Even though she said that, she still asked, "What's the budget?"

"Anything under five million is fine. If it's over budget, we'll consider it as long as we can get it."

In fact, he originally planned to find an agent for this matter.

We just happened to have a drink together and I just said it out loud.

Chen Xue frowned. "Zhou Ping, five million is no small sum. Don't tell me you're using it for training... As a colleague, I have to remind you that it takes a lot of money to progress from a quasi-cultivator to a full-fledged cultivator. Although the company provides spiritual nutrient solution for free, every quasi-cultivator will buy other resources to speed up their cultivation."

"Besides, the closer you are to becoming a formal practitioner, the more expenses you will have to pay. Five million won't even be enough. It's indeed easy for prospective practitioners to get funds, but if you raise them, you will have to pay a price."

Zhou Ping explained, "It's serious business."

Seeing him say this.

Chen Xue didn't want to ask too much, so she took out her phone and asked a few acquaintances. Then she said, "I've dealt with many of the bosses outside the square at the management center. One of them is in the orchard business. He has contracted two mountains in a county under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng City. If you want, I can ask for you."

"This boss has been trying to establish a relationship with practitioners. If it goes well, you should be able to spend less money, or maybe even nothing at all."

Zhou Ping's eyes lit up. If he could get a mountain without spending any money, it would be really worth it.

"Manager Chen, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter."

"It's not a big deal. When you become a formal practitioner, just remember my kindness... Wait for my news. I'll arrange a meeting the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, come on, I'll toast you a glass!"

The two drank until after nine o'clock.

Chen Xuecai called the designated driver and left.

Zhou Ping looked at her back and thought that although this manager had some ulterior motives, her style of doing things and her personality were indeed good at the moment.

Return to the community building.

He took a cold shower, then lay on the bed and logged into the Cultivator's Home. This time, he did not go to the three major sections of knowledge, mall and transaction, but directly clicked on the forum section.

Searched for the term spiritual roots.

Suddenly, a large number of posts related to spiritual roots were refreshed.

I looked through it for a long time.

Zhou Pingcai found the discussion thread about spiritual root talent.
