I was banned by the Revitalization event.

well.

He had a basic understanding of his own abilities.

It was probably around one goose.

"What are you doing, young man?"

There weren't many people in the park, but it wasn't completely deserted either. When Qin Luo pushed the basketball hoop, an old man in brocade robes who was practicing Tai Chi next to him paused and froze.

This basketball hoop weighs several hundred kilograms, plus counterweights.

You're just kidding.

"I want to see how strong I am," Qin Luo said casually, throwing a few punches into the air.

There's no need to strike a pose to absorb spiritual energy; simply practicing the technique is enough. Pretending to throw a punch won't attract attention.

He wanted to be a low-key and simple monk.

Watching him throw a punch, the old man stopped practicing Tai Chi and stood by to observe and learn.

He didn't have any set strategy; he just attacked randomly.

The old man chuckled.

"Young man, you'll never kill anyone if you train like that."

"I'll just play casually."

"How about learning Tai Chi with me? It's an ancient Chinese martial art that's good for your health. If you master it, you can definitely take down three or five bad guys. Last week, Old Wang was bothering Xiao Hong, but I chased him away with just a few punches and kicks."

The old man felt a pang of nostalgia and touched his bald head.

"It's a pity that Xiao Hong still got together with Lao Lin. He has an electric tricycle that his son bought for him, and Xiao Hong doesn't want someone without a vehicle."

Qin Luo: "..."

What kind of love story is this, a tale of love in the twilight years?

and also.

Don't just talk to yourself.

"...No need, I'm only eighteen, it's not suitable for me to learn that." Qin Luo politely declined.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

The old man glared at Qin Luo and stormed off.

It's inappropriate for young people to learn Tai Chi. Doesn't that make them seem old? Young people these days really don't understand respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

I took two steps.

The old man came back and secretly pushed the basketball hoop.

It can't be pushed.

Wanting to show off his skills to the young people but failing, the old man pretended nothing had happened and quickly ran away with small, quick steps.

Chapter 5 The Evil Cultivator Qin Luo

Without the disturbance of outsiders, Qin Luo was happy to have some peace and quiet, and was finally able to concentrate on cultivating Qi.

Looking at the man-made lake with its rippling water not far away.

Now let's start over.

The most basic and important first step to embarking on the path of cultivation is to choose a cultivation method that best suits one's current needs.

In the more than ten years since the revival of spiritual energy, new cultivation techniques have been constantly emerging and being innovated.

Initially, the cultivation method was strictly controlled by wealthy clans.

However, as the spiritual energy revival intensified, the wisdom of the working people was mobilized, and folk cultivation methods began to emerge. These methods, with their unique ideas and unconventional approaches, were even simpler and more effective than those passed down by large families. As a result, by around 1930, one could easily find the latest cultivation methods online, often bundled with malware.

Qin Luo slowly practiced his punches, getting used to his body, while recalling the martial arts techniques he had read.

The Secret of Life...

Devouring Heaven Treasure Record 2.03 Integrated Package...

The third set of national primary and secondary school students' basic Qi cultivation textbooks (People's Education Edition)...

Consider it carefully.

Qin Luo quickly made up his mind and chose the cultivation technique that left the deepest impression on him: the Returning to Origin Technique.

The resurgence of spiritual energy is just a general term.

Later, experts verified that the essence of the spiritual energy revival was that a huge amount of spiritual energy overflowed from the depths of the earth and dispersed into the air. The entire overflow process lasted for about two years. In 2025, the concentration of spiritual energy reached its peak. Subsequently, due to the increase in the number of cultivators, and the fact that there is only so much spiritual energy, not an endless supply, the concentration of spiritual energy began to decline slowly.

So let's start from ten years later.

As spiritual energy became scarcer and cultivation slowed down, various heaven-defying techniques emerged one after another. The thinking became radical and violent, and developers desperately increased the range and efficiency of spiritual energy absorption, pushing the human body's potential to the extreme, all in order to extract as much spiritual energy as possible from the thin air and turn it into their own.

The Returning to Origin Technique is the culmination of this entire system.

This is an evil martial art.

The Returning Origin Technique possesses an extremely terrifying ability to absorb spiritual energy. As long as it is activated at full power, cultivators who practice the Returning Origin Technique will level up several times, or even dozens of times, faster than other cultivators. However, the cost is an unstable foundation. Moreover, because the spiritual energy forcibly absorbed is not integrated, it can be said that they cannot defeat anyone of the same level.

Even when fighting against opponents of a lower caliber, they still dominate...

But in later generations...

The Divine Realm is everywhere, and Foundation Establishment is as common as dogs. Cultivation is as widespread for ordinary people as guns are for Americans. Unless one can cultivate this technique to the Tai Xu level, it has absolutely no future.

Look at your own hands.

If he hadn't been forced to, Qin Luo wouldn't have wanted to practice this technique.

But time waits for no one; he only has a year. No one will wait for him to develop and play in the late game...

To protect yourself, you must gain power as soon as possible.

We have no choice but to take a gamble.

Recalling the flow of spiritual energy and the acupoints and meridians in the Returning to Origin Technique, Qin Luo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to absorb spiritual energy. As the energy of heaven and earth was drawn to him, a gentle breeze seemed to gradually rise in the small park.

The wind quickly changed from a gentle breeze to a gale.

Within a radius of several kilometers, scattered points of spiritual energy formed a vortex, gradually accelerating and converging towards Qin Luo.

coming!

Little by little, they accumulate into a great river; specks of spiritual energy converge into a mighty river.

The river pours in from the zenith.

Cells and bones absorb spiritual energy, gradually becoming fuller and more abundant under its influence.

A sense of power begins to emerge deep within the body.

As he practiced his punches, Qin Luo was secretly astonished. This Returning Origin Technique was far more efficient than he had imagined. The vortex of Qi in his dantian was rapidly growing stronger. Not to mention Qi Refining, he felt that at the current speed, he might even be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in a year.

Besides its absorption speed, its absorption range is also frighteningly large.

It's not just the small park; it seems that the surrounding residential areas and commercial districts, spanning several miles and dozens of miles, have all been drawn here by spiritual energy!

This feeling of fullness...

No wonder some people in later generations, even those with unstable foundations, were willing to choose such extreme techniques.

Qin Luo was still sensing the rate of increase in the spiritual energy within his body.

But the next moment.

The gently flowing stream of spiritual energy suddenly turned into surging waves.

boom!

Unimaginable, terrifying spiritual power surged into the body under the frenzied absorption of the Returning Origin Technique, and the feeling of absorbing spiritual energy changed from light to stinging.

"cough……"

Caught off guard, Qin Luo felt a sweet taste in his throat from the shock and coughed up a trickle of blood.

My head suddenly felt dizzy.

My whole body felt a tingling and numb sensation, as if it was about to explode.

No, something's not right...

The amount of spiritual energy is off; there's way too much!

How can there be so much spiritual power!

The instincts developed through diligent cultivation in later generations allowed Qin Luo to react immediately. Before his body was destroyed, he hurriedly absorbed and compressed the excess spiritual energy, circulating and digesting it more quickly to prevent it from continuing to run rampant.

How could that be?

Compared to the previous weak impact, this sudden surge of spiritual energy was like a roaring train!

That is, after the revival of spiritual energy.

He had never seen so much, such rich and pure spiritual energy before!

Even though Qin Luo was completely taken aback.

However, the spiritual energy still surged out violently and attacked him, only to be forcibly drawn into his body by the Returning Origin Technique.

He felt like a small wooden bucket suddenly being drenched by a waterfall hundreds of meters high, swaying precariously, barely managing to protect himself from being crushed to pieces by the torrential spiritual energy.

No practice should be stopped before it completes another full cycle.

I have to hold on for another half hour...

Qin Luo gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and desperately tried to absorb the energy and persevere.

Because I have already gained some insights.

Under the impact of the massive spiritual energy, their cultivation level was involuntarily broken.

Qi cultivation in a second!

The cultivation technique seemed to give him no chance to stabilize himself or strengthen his foundation. The spiritual energy continued to flow into his body as if it were free!
