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

Chapter 9 Spiritual Root Improvement
Five million is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but in the home of a cultivator, such a huge sum of money is only equivalent to 50 spirit stone coins. For the company behind Chen Xue, it is probably not even a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Zhou Ping believed that the other party would agree to this condition.

End video.

He logged into a bank he frequently used.

Then check your credit limit.

Sure enough, there is an extra million in free credits.

He immediately applied for its use.

After a while.

After a verification and review, the bank loaned a million yuan to his account.

Look at the series of numbers.

Zhou Ping was very excited.

I am considered a rich man now!
But he did not forget the important thing, so he quickly opened the virtual box.

[Host: Zhou Ping]

[Country name: Han]

[Year: Kaiyuan]

[Territory: 120 square meters]

Annual revenue: 1085412 Chinese yuan

Concubines: None

Offspring: None

【…】

[Current National Fortune: 8]

See the changes in annual income and national fortune.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

I was a little worried before that the credit line loans would not be counted as the annual revenue of the country, but now it seems that they are still counted.

"An annual income of one million increases the national fortune by 6 points. This increase is not small!"

Zhou Ping thought secretly.

National fortune is a comprehensive reflection of all aspects of a country. When the virtual frame was first activated, there were 10 points of national fortune. Now, the annual income alone has increased by 6 points. He is already very satisfied with this.

"Improve your spiritual roots first to see the effect!"

Think of this.

His eyes fell on the line of text that asked whether to improve his spiritual roots.

boom.

As the national fortune consumes 2 points.

The dragon on his spine seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and instantly became hot, but it only lasted for a few seconds before completely disappearing.

Sensed it.

Found no changes.

Zhou Ping spread the cushion on the living room floor and began to practice the "Purple Qi Breathing Method". He had practiced it once today, and his psychic watch showed a psychic energy value of 0.17. Under normal circumstances, the body could not continue to absorb spiritual energy.

call.

suck.

After calming down.

In less than half a minute, the upgraded spiritual roots sensed the spiritual energy contained in the air, and the body automatically absorbed it.

Two minutes passed.

His body reached saturation again.

Open your eyes.

I glanced at my psychic watch and it showed 0.19 psychic energy value.

This means that improving spiritual roots can also speed up the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

"After we sign the contract tomorrow and secure five million in funding, we'll start expanding our territory!"

Zhou Ping waved his fist.

His face was full of energy.

Early the next morning.

Haven’t gotten up yet.

There was a knock on the door.

Rubbing his blurry eyes.

He opened the door and saw his aunt and uncle carrying supplements, followed by their children standing at the door. "Brother, you're such a lazy bum."

"The sun is already shining on your butt, and you haven't even gotten up yet!"

My aunt's eldest daughter, who was lively and lovely, made a face at Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping couldn't help laughing.

He went forward and prepared to hold the girl in his arms, but Tongtong hid beside her aunt, sticking out her tongue and saying, "Brother, go wash up first."

"Row."

After replying, Zhou Ping hurriedly took the supplements and said, "Aunt, Uncle, come in quickly."

Come to the living room.

He washed his face first, then made tea for his uncle and aunt, and asked, "Why are you here so early in the morning?"

The aunt glared at Zhou Ping and said, "You kid, you're still hiding something as important as nurturing your spiritual roots. What's going on? Are you afraid that I'll enjoy your blessings?"

"If your uncle hadn't arranged for you to check your information and discovered that it had changed, I wouldn't have known that you had become a quasi-cultivator!"

Although the words were full of blame, there was unstoppable joy in my aunt's eyes.

Zhou Ping quickly said, "Aunt, I was wrong. I should have told you right away."

My uncle laughed and said, "I understand that you want to surprise your aunt, but things like this still need to be discussed."

"Yes Yes."

Zhou Ping nodded repeatedly.

He really wanted to give his aunt a surprise.

"It's not easy."

"Our Xiaoping has finally made it big. From now on, I don't have to worry about him anymore."

"Aunt, I'll have to ask you to worry about me in the future."

Listen to this.

My aunt's face was full of joy. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. After your uncle and I heard the news, we didn't have time to eat breakfast and came here. You two can chat while I go to cook."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Zhou Ping and his uncle sat on the sofa and talked about their future.

He had originally planned to talk to his uncle.

After all, the Special Security Department often deals with practitioners, and in this regard, my uncle may know more than him.

My uncle spoke first and asked, "Xiaoping, now that you're a quasi-cultivator, are you still going to work in the security department?"

Zhou Ping said, "Go. I heard that the Security Department often interacts with practitioners. Working there might be of some help to me."

My uncle took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Yes, it's not really that helpful. It's just a chance to meet some real practitioners. If you don't have spiritual roots, it won't mean much. But with spiritual roots, the situation will be different."

"After seeing your identity information, I originally wanted to let you hone your skills. Now that you are willing, I will arrange it for you immediately. You can start work tomorrow at the latest."

Zhou Ping couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, if I hadn't become a quasi-cultivator, I would have faced a lot of resistance in arranging the work of the Security Department."

My uncle said casually, "There will be some resistance, but it's not a big problem... As for work, you've just become a quasi-cultivator, so your main focus should be on cultivation. Try to become a formal cultivator as soon as possible. The gap between quasi-cultivators and formal cultivators is huge in all aspects."

At this point, he looked at Zhou Ping and said seriously, "Xiao Ping, a quasi-cultivator is considered to have left the realm of ordinary people and will encounter all kinds of temptations. I believe you have felt it these days. Your uncle wants to remind you to guard against arrogance and impatience."

"Money, status, and other external things are not important. The most important thing is your own practice."

Zhou Ping nodded solemnly, "Uncle, I understand!"

The uncle patted Zhou Ping's shoulder and smiled. "Just keep it in mind. I won't say anything else."

At breakfast.

My aunt said, "Xiaoping, your becoming a quasi-cultivator is a great joy. I wanted to hold a celebration banquet for you, but your uncle thinks it's too high-profile. What do you think?"

Zhou Ping thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, let's wait until I become a formal practitioner before holding a celebration banquet."

My uncle immediately praised me, "Good, you have ambition!"

My aunt said angrily, "What kind of ambition is that? Xiaoping is already a grown-up, it's time for him to resolve his life's major issues. He didn't have the conditions before, but now he has them. What's wrong with being a little high-profile? In my opinion, this celebration party should be grand and spectacular."

My uncle retorted, "Life's major issues must be resolved, but Xiaoping's status is different now. You can't introduce him to an ordinary family."

My aunt was startled for a moment, then she realized, "That makes sense. We really can't use the same conditions as before. Okay, I'll listen to you two this time."

Zhou Ping didn't say anything and just ate his meal.

After breakfast.

He mentioned the signing of the contract to his uncle.

"I know a lawyer."

"When the contract is signed at noon, take him with you and have him look over it carefully. Although there are usually no problems with this kind of contract, you still need to be careful with everything."
