Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 53: It's really like finding a treasure!

Liu Zimo didn't stay long at the Military Affairs Office.

After completely intimidating everyone, he left three internal guards and Yang Sisi at the Military Affairs Office to assist Liang Luo's work and supervise the progress.

As for himself, he returned home and became a carefree shopkeeper.

In fact, Liu Zimo was not interested in power and had no intention of ruling or dominating the entire Luozhou City.

From beginning to end, he only wanted to continuously improve his cultivation strength and protect himself and his family in the apocalypse.

But the current situation in Luozhou was really terrible.

It was so bad that many martial artists didn't think about hunting and exterminating monsters, but instead hid in dark corners to bully and even massacre ordinary residents.

There were many people like his uncle who were sick but couldn't find doctors or medicine, and could only silently wait for death at home.

There were also many people who, because they couldn't find water and food, harbored evil thoughts and began to plunder or kill their neighbors...

If the major forces in the city cooperated, they would have the ability to establish defenses and restore order early on, ending the chaos in the city.

But they kept dragging on due to their selfishness, wasting a lot of time by entangling with each other.

These people didn't understand the importance of time in the early stages of the disaster. Didn't Liu Zimo, as a reborn person, know?

It had been exactly ten days since the first wave of monster calamity arrived. If nothing unexpected happened, the second wave of monsters would arrive in at most five days.

With the chaotic situation in Luozhou City, who knew how many more people would die when the second wave of monsters arrived!

Liu Zimo couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he had to use thunderous means to forcefully subdue all the forces and prepare to end the chaos in the city as soon as possible, in order to be ready for the second wave of monster attacks.

Swish!

Liu Zimo flashed back home.

His younger brother, Liu Zihao, was still inside taking care of their uncle. From the sound of their uncle's breathing, it could be inferred that his condition had stabilized and the high fever should have subsided.

As for their father, he was carelessly playing hide-and-seek with Xiaofeihong in the living room.

When Liu Zimo came back, he happened to see him acting spoiled.

"It's impossible! You must have peeked!"

"I just turned invisible, how could you find me so quickly?"

Once again, Liu Yi, who was discovered by Xiaofeihong, looked at the little girl in front of him with an incredulous expression.

He couldn't understand how she could find him every time, even though he hid so well.

Especially this time, in order to tease the little girl, Liu Yi even deliberately used his invisibility ability.

Originally, he wanted to suddenly jump out and startle her when she couldn't find him.

As a result, just like the previous times, he had just hidden himself, and almost the next second, Xiaofeihong had already found him.

This completely confused Liu Yi, and he even began to suspect that his superpower had failed.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo seemed to understand something.

When they were trapped in Jingyong Daoist's illusion array, Xiaofeihong had shown a mental willpower different from ordinary people and quickly woke up from the illusion.

Now, even Liu Yi's invisibility ability seemed to fail in front of her.

What did this mean?

This meant that Xiaofeihong must have a natural spiritual perception, belonging to the kind of spiritual cultivator whose mental power was naturally stronger than ordinary people!

No wonder the light intensity above her head was even stronger than that of Hong Yuxun and Lou Yuchen, the two future Martial Saints.

It seemed that in addition to her already outstanding martial talent, her natural spiritual talent was also one of the reasons for her strong light intensity.

In Liu Zimo's memory, among the three future Martial Saints of the Human Clan, besides Zhiyuan Shengshi from Dalin Temple, who practiced both martial arts and soul cultivation, Yuxun Wusheng and Yuchen Wusheng were purely martial arts saints and did not have any spiritual cultivation talent.

"If this little girl can grow up smoothly, her future achievements might even surpass the three future Martial Saints!"

Liu Zimo's gaze fell on Xiaofeihong, filled with expectations for her future.

"Master!"

As if sensing Liu Zimo's gaze, Xiaofeihong directly ignored Liu Yi, who was arguing with her, and threw herself into Liu Zimo's arms.

Seeing this, Liu Yi finally noticed the existence of his eldest son and couldn't help but blush.

"I was just bored and playing with the little girl..."

After awkwardly explaining, Liu Yi cleared his throat and said seriously,

"But this little girl is really unusual. She's so young, yet her strength is even greater than mine."

"And her eyes are so sharp. The room is so dark, yet she can always find me quickly."

Liu Zimo glanced at his father speechlessly.

Do all post-90s old people behave so "lively," or is it just his old man who is like this, acting like a child who never grows up?

They're already in their forties, and playing hide-and-seek with children is one thing, but to cheat as well, really...

"Master, I had so much fun playing with Master Grandpa, and he even gave me snacks, look!"

Xiao Feihong took out a pack of spicy strips from her pocket and proudly showed them off to Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo was speechless once again. He knew he shouldn't let his dad take care of the child.

Spicy strips are notorious junk food. It's fine for adults to eat them when they have cravings, but can you give them to such a young child?

However, seeing how happy the little girl was, Liu Zimo didn't bother saying anything more.

After all, the little girl is already at the Iron Bone Realm, and a little junk food can't threaten her health.

Moreover, it's already the end of the world. Snacks like spicy strips, crispy rice, and biscuits may not be available in the near future.

"Alright, put it away for now. Master is going to teach you a new set of techniques. Remember to practice diligently!"

Liu Zimo put Xiao Feihong down and then turned to look at his dad.

"Dad, why don't you try learning as well? If you can learn and master it, it will be of great help to your invisibility ability."

"At least, when playing hide-and-seek with Xiao Feihong in the future, it won't be so easy for her to find you."

Liu Yi's eyes lit up.

That's a good idea!

This kid, why didn't he bring out such a good technique earlier?

Liu Yi became more interested and quickly ran over, even taking out a pen and a small notebook from his pocket, looking serious and eager.

Liu Zimo's mouth twitched, but he quickly adjusted his mood and spoke seriously:

"Alright, what I'm going to teach you next is a set of special techniques for cultivating mental power."

"First, before practicing, you must calm your mind, empty your thoughts, and focus on counting, without any distractions."

"Second, remember the method of practicing the 'Spiritual Element Formula,' passing through the Spiritual Platform, entering the Divine Mansion, with a clear and tranquil mind..."

Liu Zimo explained the practice method of the 'Spiritual Element Formula' word by word to Xiao Feihong and his dad.

After listening once, Xiao Feihong nodded to indicate that she had already remembered it. Without Liu Zimo's guidance, she sat cross-legged on the sofa, took a deep breath, and instantly entered a state of deep meditation for spiritual cultivation.

Using his spiritual sense, Liu Zimo sensed the subtle spiritual fluctuations emanating from the little girl's forehead, and he knew that Xiao Feihong was able to independently activate the spiritual power at her Spiritual Platform. She had already made some progress!

Sure enough, just a few minutes after Xiaofei Hong successfully entered a state of meditation, Liu Zimo's ears were filled with relevant prompt sounds:

【Your good sister Ye Feihong is practicing the "Spiritual Yuan Technique," and she has gained some understanding. Her spiritual intuition has burst forth, opening up her sea of consciousness and breaking through to the Spiritual Yuan Realm!

Triggering the talent "Stealing Heaven," sharing half of the cultivation increase, mental power +10, soul strength +5, lifespan +3.】

Success!

In less than ten minutes, this little girl has actually successfully opened up her sea of consciousness and stepped into the Spiritual Yuan Realm!

The sudden surge of spiritual power within her sea of consciousness instantly caused Liu Zimo's spiritual cultivation to skyrocket by nearly one-third!

Liu Zimo's heart was filled with excitement and joy.

Once again, the facts proved that Xiaofei Hong not only had astonishing comprehension and talent in martial arts, but her talent in spiritual cultivation was also far beyond ordinary cultivators.

At least in the previous life, Liu Zimo had never heard of any cultivator who could instantly enter a state of meditation and grasp the essence of the "Spiritual Yuan Technique" in their first cultivation attempt, and then open up their sea of consciousness and step into the Spiritual Yuan Realm in just ten minutes.

"It really is a treasure that I've stumbled upon!"

Liu Zimo once again marveled in his heart, and when he looked at Xiaofei Hong, his gaze was like that of someone looking at a rare treasure.

In comparison, the father sitting next to Xiaofei Hong appeared much inferior.

He had filled many notebooks with notes, but when it came to practical cultivation, he couldn't even find the door for half a day.

In the end, it was only under Liu Zimo's guidance that he gradually found the key and successfully triggered a spiritual fluctuation on his spiritual platform.

"Sure enough, being able to awaken the ability to turn invisible indicates that my father's mental power is also far above that of ordinary people. He does indeed have the talent for cultivating the 'Spiritual Yuan Technique'."

"But it's only some talent, and compared to spiritual cultivation prodigies like Xiaofei Hong, it's not even close!"

Liu Zimo glanced at the lock shadow above his father's head.

The color of the lock shadow had advanced to blue after awakening the ability to turn invisible, radiating a dazzling light that was several times stronger than the previous white light.

However, now that he was sitting next to Xiaofei Hong, when the golden lock shadow on her head, like a sun, shone upon him, that blue light seemed so small and barely noticeable.

"Speaking of which, I am a bit greedy."

Taking a deep breath, Liu Zimo collected his thoughts and quickly adjusted his mindset.

Compared to the geniuses at the Martial Saint level, 99% of the people in this world are useless!

No matter what, his father now had a certain level of self-defense power, and his future strength would undoubtedly be much stronger than in his previous life!
