[Urban cultivation + spiritual qi revival + Taoist descends the mountain + no System + modern scientific cultivation + decisive and ruthless]
The provincial AI Tianheng predicts that Typhoon Bavi will not pass through Qingshan County, that there will be no heavy rain nearby, and that the whole city is safe.
But Chen Qingfeng, the sixty-fifth-generation Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, sees nine currents of disaster qi beneath the county town, along with the first trace of innate spiritual qi in two thousand years.
The AI was not wrong.
The typhoon really will not come.
But no one told it that disaster would crawl out of a seal dating back two thousand years.
Before his master, Zhang Sanqing, dissolved his corpse and departed this world, he left Chen Qingfeng just one instruction:
“Go to Qingshan County in three months. There, you will find your chance to begin refining qi.”
Chen Qingfeng waited two and a half years at the threshold of qi refinement.
He will claim this trace of spiritual qi.
And he must personally force the nine water veins beneath the county town, now on the verge of running out of control, back into place.
Saving the entire county is only the beginning of his quest to seize his first cultivation resources.
Only when white mist pours from all nine ancient wells at once does Chen Qingfeng realize that two thousand years ago, the Taoist sects sealed all the world's spiritual qi beneath the earth. Now the seals are loosening, and spiritual qi, legacies, and ancient treasures are returning to the world one place at a time.
Secret organizations have long been cultivating practitioners with artificial spiritual solutions and using modern equipment to power incomplete magical artifacts.
Chen Qingfeng's task is to seize spiritual qi, claim talismans, occupy lands rich in spiritual energy, and unlock ancient legacies. He will rebuild the complete Heavenly Master inheritance and step by step return to the path of ascension that was severed two thousand years ago.
Until, deep within an ancient seal, he sees traces left behind by his master.
The old Taoist who dissolved his corpse three months ago seems to have personally taken part in sealing spiritual qi two thousand years ago.
