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

Chapter 3 Cultivating Spiritual Roots
Unit 12, Building 1, Jiayuan Community.

When Zhou Ping returned home after lunch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Happy today.

He also drank some extra wine.

However, the eagerness in his heart to practice breathing techniques was dispelled by the alcohol.

He was slightly tipsy.

Sitting on the sofa, I watched videos as usual.

Not a moment later.

There was a knock on the door.

He stood up and opened the door. He saw his aunt Yan Yue, wearing a brown and white windbreaker, standing at the door with a shoulder bag. Zhou Ping sobered up immediately and said hurriedly, "Aunt, why are you here?"

The aunt smelled alcohol and frowned. She didn't reply to Zhou Ping, but walked straight into the living room, threw her bag on the sofa, sat down, and then looked at Zhou Ping standing in front of her with her arms crossed. "It's just a blind date that got stood up. What's the big deal? Why are you so drunk?"

"Aunt, I, I didn't drink because of this. I drank a little because of a happy event."

"is it?"

The aunt looked unconvinced and was about to continue her lecture when she noticed the fatigue in Zhou Ping's eyes. She shook her head and said, "Forget it. You're already in your thirties. Whatever you do, think carefully. I came here this time to tell you something."

Zhou Ping hurriedly went to make a cup of hot tea for his aunt. He didn't have many relatives in his family, and since his parents passed away, there were even fewer relatives visiting him. Only his aunt had been taking care of him. Even the decoration and furniture of this apartment were arranged by his aunt.

"I've discussed this seriously with your uncle. The main reason why you haven't been able to go on blind dates in recent years is because of work. When you graduated, I wanted you to follow your uncle and get a stable job. That way you'd always have some security."

"But you refused to agree. Well, your uncle wasn't very stable back then, and his job was a bit dangerous, so I just let you do it. Now, your uncle is more capable, so it wouldn't be difficult to find you some office work."

My aunt took a sip of tea and continued, "Besides, your uncle is old, you can help him a little bit."

Zhou Ping was silent for a moment.

His uncle used to be in the criminal investigation team, and later he was transferred to the Special Security Protection Section of Jiangcheng City. This unit was a new department established after the country promulgated the Basic Cultivation Law. It was mainly responsible for assisting in the management of security incidents related to cultivation. It seemed that the power and responsibilities were not small, but in fact it did not have much to do, and most of the time it was responsible for coordination, but there were still dangers.

After all, heroes break the law with force.

What’s more, there are practitioners who possess even greater destructive power.

Even if the country has enough power to suppress the rebellion, there will always be some trouble if it encounters some practitioners with bad intentions or overflowing self-confidence.

There have been several vicious incidents in Jiangcheng City in recent years.

But overall it is still very safe.

I didn't want to go when I just graduated.

I don't want to trouble my uncle.

Plus, I’m young and want to give it a try.

But now he has changed his mind.

Activate cheat code.

He needed more time to improve himself, and his current job was very busy, often requiring him to work overtime. Therefore, resigning was already in his plan, but Zhou Ping intended to wait for a while to see the effects of the breathing method before making a decision.

Now that his aunt had again suggested that he follow his uncle to do work, he nodded and said, "Aunt, if it doesn't affect my uncle, I will apply for resignation tomorrow."

Seeing Zhou Ping say this.

The aunt smiled, thinking that this blockhead had finally come to her senses. It seemed that being stood up once wasn't such a bad thing after all. "What impact will it have? Your uncle is eager for you to help."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Then it's settled."

Zhou Ping nodded.

After sending my aunt away.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower and then went back to the bedroom to rest.

night.

The bright moonlight shines through the balcony onto the cushions in the living room.

Zhou Ping calmed down and began to try breathing according to the movements of the "Purple Qi Breathing Method". According to research, more than 60% of people who have cultivated spiritual roots practice breathing exercises facing the moonlight.

Therefore, he practiced most of the time at night.

call.

suck.

As he continued to breathe, his body began to feel uncomfortable. After only a few minutes, his entire body began to ache. The breathing exercises were quite difficult. If the practice had not been directly imprinted in his memory and formed a muscle habit, it would have taken him a long time to perform them.

For example, it took me half a year to get used to the twelve basic breathing techniques.

Zhou Ping gritted his teeth and held on.

Time passes slowly.

ten minutes later.

The pain in his body intensified, but at this moment he seemed to be immersed in the breathing practice.

The moonlight shone on his skin, and one could clearly see the membrane faintly trembling, and even some key acupoints expanding and contracting with his breathing.

I did the usual basic breathing method for half an hour without any reaction.

After practicing the Purple Qi Breathing Method for only twenty minutes, his body began to heat up and sweat began to form on the dragon part of his spine.

Zhou Ping continued.

Until sweat slid down the skin and dripped onto the cushion.

His mind, immersed in the rhythm of his breathing, seemed to have broken through some kind of boundary and merged faintly with the surrounding space.

At this time.

Time slowed down like a slow motion.

Sweat, moonlight, and the living room seemed to be completely reflected in his mind, and he seemed to be able to clearly see the dust and airflow in the air.

Wow.

This state lasted for dozens of seconds.

He felt waves of coolness, as if water was sliding against his skin. As the coolness penetrated his skin, the heat in his spine became cooler as if washed away by heavy rain, and the aches and pains all over his body gradually disappeared.

A moment passes.

This mysterious state of practice disappeared.

Zhou Ping suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils revealing excitement and joy that was difficult to suppress.

Spiritual roots! !
The first time he practiced the breathing method, he actually cultivated his spiritual roots!
There was no mistaking that cool feeling.

"It's worthy of being a cultivation method deduced from the national destiny...Spiritual roots, from now on, I, Zhou Ping, can also become a cultivator!"

He clenched his fists. The dreams and expectations he had longed for had now become reality. He wanted to laugh out loud, but the reason in his heart suppressed the impulse.

[Discovering spiritual roots, whether to spend 2 points to improve national fortune]

at this time.

A virtual box suddenly appeared, and a line of golden text appeared.

Zhou Ping's eyes widened.

Spiritual roots can actually be improved?!
This is such a pleasant surprise.

It seems.

National destiny is not only used to deduce martial arts, but can also directly improve other attributes.

Open the Personal Properties panel.

Looking at it, there are only 2 points of national destiny left.

He chose no.

After all, if the country's fortune returns to zero, the empire may collapse.

"We must increase our national fortune as soon as possible!"

Realize the benefits of national destiny.

Zhou Ping wanted to immediately improve the territory, annual income and other attributes, but he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Although he had nurtured his spiritual roots now, he needed to stay calm at such times.

Especially the mentality.

I must stay calm, otherwise once I become arrogant, I will end up like those practitioners who caused trouble.

Think of this.

He took more than ten deep breaths and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, finally calming down his excitement.
