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

Chapter 14: The True Practitioner

late at night.

Zhou Ping logged into the Cultivator’s Home.

Looking at the various basic cultivation knowledge in the knowledge section, he was very envious. The national destiny could deduce the exercises and improve the spiritual roots. It is very likely that even the talismans, alchemy, refining, formations and other aspects could be improved. These are things related to cultivation resources. If you really master them, the annual income of the country will no longer have to worry about.

"Wait a little longer... The Newbie Guide says that the most important thing for aspiring practitioners is to become a formal practitioner. Everything else is useless."

Move your eyes away from the knowledge post.

He went to the forum section and continued browsing.

There are quite a few posts.

And it refreshes very quickly.

Obviously, there are many cultivators logged online at this time.

Most of the content was just for fun, but a few caught Zhou Ping's attention.

Foreign conflicts intensify, domestic competition becomes increasingly fierce

This is the title.

Click in.

It talks about the shortage of resources for cultivation.

A hundred years have passed since the discovery of spaceships. The number of cultivators has increased, and the competition for resources has become increasingly fierce, especially among groups and major companies, where competition has evolved into local conflicts.

The situation in China is relatively better, but the situation abroad is showing signs of spreading out of control.

The poster is very pessimistic.

This made Zhou Ping frown. He had only been a quasi-cultivator for a few days and had not had time to experience the wonderful life of cultivation. How could it be so chaotic?

Read on.

Many cultivators who responded scoffed, thinking that the poster was exaggerating.

"The competition is indeed fierce, but this is normal. As for the shortage of resources... that's pure nonsense. Judging from the owner's cultivation level, he has no idea about the top circles at home or abroad."

"It's just sensationalism. For example, the spiritual energy nutrient solution produced in the country each year is enough for millions of cultivators, and there are still large reserves left. The reason for the shortage is, to put it bluntly, that the top leaders are deliberately controlling it."

"Yes, many precious resources are mainly controlled by the state. We have cultivators' houses in our country to distribute resources, but there is no such thing abroad. Those groups and companies control the lower-level cultivators in order to make profits, so the resources flowing out are far less than those flowing into the country, which leads to the intensification of conflicts."

"..."

After reading.

He suddenly realized that there was no platform similar to the Cultivator's Home abroad, so the allocation of resources was entirely decided by the groups and companies. Over time, conflicts would naturally arise. Although the situation in China is better, malicious incidents in various places have indeed been increasing in recent years.

Browsed a few more posts.

He withdrew from the cultivator's home. These things were still far away from him, so he just had to wait and see. If he became worried, it would be an internal waste of unnecessary worry.

The next morning.

The sky is gloomy.

After having breakfast downstairs, it started to rain heavily outside.

The autumn rain is continuous.

With a chill.

My aunt also specifically reminded me not to forget to bring an umbrella.

Chen Xue also sent a message to remind her.

Arrived at the door of the Special Security Department.

The rain is getting heavier.

Zhou Ping quickly ran into the building. When he arrived at the office, he didn't see his uncle. A colleague next to him said, "Something happened in Jiang District early this morning. Director Chen and his team went there."

Listen to this.

He couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Is it related to the cultivators?"

The female colleague nodded and said, "I heard it's a murder case related to a quasi-cultivator. We should have more information soon."

Sure enough, it was around ten o'clock.

News came in one after another.

It turned out that the quasi-cultivator discovered that his mistress had someone else outside, so he got angry and lost control of his strength and killed the mistress.

The female colleague said, unsurprised, "This kind of case will eventually be resolved into a small matter. The most the would-be cultivator will have to pay is some money."

Zhou Ping couldn't help but ask in surprise, "So light?"

"It's very light."

"After all, the other party is a quasi-cultivator." The female colleague looked at Zhou Ping and whispered, "You are also a quasi-cultivator. As long as it is not intentional killing, the sentence is generally not heavy. This is still a quasi-cultivator. If it is a true cultivator..."

She didn't continue.

But Zhou Ping's heart was in turmoil.

I didn’t expect that practitioners would have such great privileges.

He felt that the story behind this might not be that simple, and the country would not give such treatment for no reason.

It's approaching noon.

My uncle and his family are back.

"Xiaoping, come here."

"Let me introduce you. This is Captain Wu from our Special Security Department. He's a true practitioner."

Zhou Ping looked at the man standing next to his uncle, who was as strong as a giant bear. Just one glance made his hair stand on end, as if he was staring into the eyes of a vicious tiger, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

"Wu, Captain Wu."

He kept shouting.

The burly man laughed heartily. "Old Chen, you're lucky. One of your relatives is a potential cultivator who can cultivate spiritual roots. Boy, work hard and become a cultivator soon."

After saying that, he left.

Zhou Ping suddenly felt relaxed all over.

His uncle pulled him to the entrance of the corridor, lit a cigarette, and said with a smile, "How does it feel to meet a true practitioner?"

“It’s so stressful!”

"I can't even look at him."

Zhou Ping said truthfully.

My uncle nodded. "The cultivators we see online and on TV seem very ordinary, but reality is different. Ordinary people don't even have the courage to look cultivators in the eye. Most people in the security department still don't dare to stand in front of Captain Wu. Only a few veteran detectives and I, who are used to it, can barely exchange a few words."

As he spoke, he sighed, "This is what a cultivator is like. They are extraordinary and possess strength, speed, and reaction speed that ordinary people cannot reach. Ordinary guns and cannons cannot threaten them... Xiaoping, you must become such a person in the future."

Zhou Ping nodded heavily.

He will.

……

noon.

In front of Hanlin Hotel.

Zhou Ping and Lawyer Yan got out of the car. Last time, it was his uncle who called to help, and Lawyer Yan did not charge any fees. But this time it was he who called, so he charged according to the law firm's fees by the hour.

"The right to transfer and the ownership of land contracts are the most important."

"Oh, and there's also the age limit issue. I'll have to trouble Lawyer Yan to pay more attention to this later."

The rules for territory growth are unclear at this time.

If the property rights period is not long enough, then it will be in vain.

Lawyer Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou."

The two of them immediately came to the reserved box.

open the door.

Then I heard hearty laughter and Chen Xue's voice as gentle as spring breeze.

"Mr. Zhou is here."

Chen Xue stood up first.

The orchard owner, his female secretary, the lawyer, and others all stood up. The orchard owner stepped forward, extended his hand, and laughed, "Mr. Zhou Pingzhou, right? He's quite a handsome man. Come on, please take a seat."

After sitting down.

The orchard owner called the waiter to serve the food, and then started talking to Zhou Ping about other topics.

Until three rounds of drinks.

Chen Xue reminded him, and the orchard owner patted his head. "Look at me, I forget the business as soon as I start talking. Mr. Zhou, do you mind if I call you brother?"

"do not mind."

"Okay, Brother Zhou, Manager Chen has explained the orchard matter to me in detail. As long as you are willing to put your name on my company, I will give you the 300-acre orchard mountain."

As he said this, he gestured for the lawyer to take out the contract.
