I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation

“Earthquake!”

In his daze, Chen Pingan heard a voice.

“Earthquake!?”

The next second, he reacted and hurriedly opened his eyes. What greeted his eyes was a swaying chandelier.

“Damn, it’s really an earthquake!”

Chen Pingan scrambled out of bed and did not bother to observe his surroundings, which had become completely different from before he slept.

The shaking coming from the floor was becoming more obvious. In fact, the entire building was now shaking.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Footsteps sounded from the stairs.

As soon as Chen Pingan walked out of the room, he was stunned by the scene that greeted his eyes.

He saw an old man with white hair who should be in his eighties or nineties carrying a two-meter-tall refrigerator on his shoulder. The old man was running extremely fast as he went down the stairs in front of him.

“What a healthy old man!” Chen Pingan looked at the grandpa’s disappearing figure and was silent for a moment before he praised with difficulty.

“Why is there another earthquake?”

At this moment, another old man cursed as he ran down the stairs. He passed by Chen Pingan with just a few steps and was gone in the blink of an eye.

“???”

The old men were all so fast that Chen Pingan was dumbfounded. He began to doubt life.

What kind of changes had happened in this world? Why were all the weak and sickly old men suddenly moving so swiftly? How were they descending the stairs with a speed that surpassed the young men?

This was especially true for the old man who had just passed by Chen Pingan with the fridge. When he passed by, Chen Pingan noticed that his body was extremely sturdy.

Chen Pingan felt his worldview gradually shattering. “You’re telling me that an old man is capable of doing something like that?”

The building started shaking again and Chen Pingan regained his senses. He didn’t have the time to think any longer and hurriedly ran down the stairs and arrived at the plaza in the middle of the neighborhood.

The plaza in the neighborhood was filled with many residents that lived nearby. It was daytime so the young men were not at home. Most of the people in the empty space were old people and young children.

At this moment, four or five old men were gathered in a corner of the plaza. They were eating melon seeds as they hung out next to their refrigerators. At this moment, they were chatting happily as if it was just any other day.

“Dali, what realm are you at now? I saw that you were running very fast just now. You ran down the 19th floor in two minutes and broke the previous record.”

The old man called Dali smiled in embarrassment and said, “I’m only at the Nascent Soul Stage. I can’t compare to Soul Formation Stage cultivators like you. All of you are more than a hundred years old and still so healthy. I even saw you carry a refrigerator. How could I possibly do something like that?”

“You’re right. Ever since I entered the Soul Formation Stage, my body has been very different from before. I excel in whatever I do. And I am even on par with those young people when it comes to strength.”

“I wonder when I can reach the Tribulation Stage.”

The old man sighed with emotion.

The Tribulation Stage was a realm that only those with true immortal cultivation talent could reach.

The old men were still chatting happily.

Chen Pingan stood by the side and listened to the conversations of the old men. His ears moved slightly as he suppressed his laughter with difficulty, his face flushed red.

What era was it now? How old-fashioned must these old men be to still be dreaming of becoming immortals and discussing the different realms. Chen Pingan felt inexplicably ashamed just listening to this.

“However, the bodies of these old men are so tough. They don’t seem like ordinary people at all.”

Just as Chen Pingan was sighing with emotion, scenes appeared in his mind one after another. All the memories regarding his current body surged into his mind.

At the same time, Chen Pingan also understood why these old men were more physically fit than he was.

He had transmigrated. This was a modern world where Spirit Qi had been revived, causing the world to enter a cultivation era!

The realms that these old men were talking about did indeed exist!

In this world, regardless of gender or age, everyone was skilled in the cultivation technique. Every day, there would be people who broke through to a new realm.

Chen Pingan was immediately excited. His childhood dream of becoming a cultivator was about to come true in this world!

“Spirit Qi revival… Cultivation era…”

Chen Pingan repeated the words that popped up in his mind as his lips curled into a smile.

He had become a true cultivator!

Immune to poison and immortal!

The struggles of surviving the modern world which troubled him for a long time had suddenly disappeared. Money was now just a worldly possession. Since he had become a cultivator, why would he need to worry about money?

When cultivators were tired, they could just fly to the peak of a mountain to take a break. Because they abstained from eating, they also did not have to worry about starving.

This was the difference between cultivators and regular people!

Chen Pingan’s excitement for the future and the smile on his lips was noticed by an old man nearby.

“What’s wrong with this young man?”

“He’s been standing there laughing and acting dazed, could it be that he was stunned by the earthquake just now? What a pity, he’ s still so young…”

The old men looked at Chen Pingan and whispered, pointing and whispering.

“I think it’s possible. What a pity it is to have your brain be damaged by an earthquake at such a young age.”

Another old man sighed with emotion, his tone filled with pity.

“He probably didn’t finish his compulsory cultivation lesson when he was in school. I don’t see any Spirit Qi around him. He’s not even at the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage.”

The old men focused their attention. As expected, this young man with a silly smile had yet to reach the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Noticing this, the other old men also sighed and shook their heads. They all pitied the helpless young man in front of them.

In this era where everyone cultivated, the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage was the easiest realm for cultivators to enter.

This realm had nothing to do with one’s talent. As long as one paid attention and was diligent, anyone could enter the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage before they were 16 years old.

Chen Pingan was completely unaware of the thoughts running through the old mens’ heads. He was simply looking forward to his daily cultivation life in the future.

At this moment, the large screen standing at the side of the plaza lit up. On the screen, a news channel started broadcasting and pleasant background music sounded.

Chen Pingan collected his thoughts and subconsciously looked over.

[We have great news. Our country’s Golden Core Stage cultivator, Ye Beixuan, broke the men’s world record for the 100-meter sprint with a time of only 4.56 seconds. The entire country is in ]an uproar!]

The announcer hosting the news spoke happily.

The few old men who were chatting also noticed the news broadcasting on the big screen. After hearing the news announcement, they praised that Golden Core Stage cultivator.

“Ye Beixuan is indeed worthy of being the most powerful Golden Core Stage cultivator. He had won many national trophies for the various short-distance events. I heard that he broke the world record for a sprint at only 20 years old. He has a bright future ahead of him!”

“Right? Which country will he be traveling to next? In any case, he’ll definitely be the champion.”

The old men praised the Golden Core Stage cultivator that was mentioned in the news.

They were both 20 years old, but unlike Chen Pingan, Ye Beixuan was already a Golden Core Stage cultivator who had broken the world record for a sprint. Chen Pingan, on the other hand, had yet to enter the elementary level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

Who knew the difference between two young men could be so extraordinary?

Chen Pingan stared at the news on the screen. He had heard the conversations of the old men and his forehead darkened.

“Uh, a hundred meters. Shouldn’t one be able to cross that distance in the blink of an eye?”

After all, ancient cultivators were able to cover thousands of kilometers in an instant.

And here, a Golden Core cultivator had taken more than 4 seconds to complete a mere 100 meters?

This Golden Core Stage cultivator must be a fake!

Chen Pingan felt that he must have transmigrated wrongly, which was why the cultivators here were unlike the cultivators he had expected to see..
