In his previous life, Lin Zhen’s talent was considered above average. But, due to bad luck, he didn’t achieve much. However, he managed to live a long life for a reason.

Apart from being cautious, Lin Zhen also had a period of growth due to his spiritual power.

Among martial artists, there is an extraordinary existence called Spiritual Mind Masters.

Spiritual power is also a kind of strength, commonly called psychokinesis. It is possessed by people with highly developed brain regions. In the Gregorian calendar period, they were called psychics, but back then, they didn’t have any systematic cultivation methods, and psychics couldn’t fully utilize their powers.

It wasn’t until the God Transformation Calendar that spiritual power was gradually developed and became an extremely powerful existence among martial artists.

Psychokinesis has a wide range of applications. Psychics can twist metal spoons, control knives in mid-air, and move objects by using mental power alone. When martial artists develop their spiritual power, it becomes even more potent, enabling them to achieve various incredible effects in combat.

Lin Zhen was a Spiritual Mind Master, but his spiritual power wasn’t very strong, and it was well-hidden. It wasn’t until after several intense experiences that he discovered his spiritual power.

Even though Lin Zhen developed his mental power in his previous life, it didn’t bring about a complete transformation in his strength.

But this time, knowing that he had spiritual power, Lin Zhen could take full advantage of it. Developing spiritual power could greatly enhance his neural response, which was one of the reasons why Spiritual Mind Masters were much stronger than ordinary martial artists.

For ordinary martial artists, trying to develop spiritual power is unrealistic since there is a 99% chance of becoming an idiot unless there is extraordinary performance. Therefore, no one would attempt it.

But Lin Zhen was different. He was sure he had spiritual power, so he could focus on developing it. Developing spiritual power as early as possible would lead to greater growth potential in the future. Now, Lin Zhen had just graduated from high school, and he was not even 17 years old. If he could develop his spiritual power, he would become a powerful spiritual mind master in the future.

To develop spiritual power, Lin Zhen needed some materials that he could purchase online.

Although Lin Zhen’s family was not wealthy, they still owned an old computer for him to use for internet access.

The old computer took a while to start up; Lin Zhen found it hard to tolerate such outdated technology from the Gregorian calendar period.

After turning on the computer, Lin Zhen tried to recall and tried several times before finally retrieving his old account.

This computer could only log in to the Northern Regional Network. After the God Transformation Day, most satellites became cosmic dust. Only martial artists’ forums had the ability to communicate and connect to other Base Cities’ networks. Ordinary people could only use the signal towers within the Base City and access the Ice City Regional Network.

There were around 30 million people in Ice City, with 20 million in the city center and the rest in three satellite cities, each with a population of around 3 million. The number of people online ranged from 8 to 10 million.

Every internet user had their unique account, so online fraud was rare, and the Base City also had strict laws, so few people dared to break them.

Lin Zhen’s username was Lin Zhen. After logging into his account, he checked his wealth.

There was around 5,500 RMB in his account, which was a considerable sum, mainly from his scholarships. Although it wasn’t much, it was handy for the moment since his family had no money to spare. Without it, he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of his rebirth.

Lin Zhen opened the online mall. Online shopping was prevalent, and walking through the various shops often led to unexpected discoveries.

Lin Zhen browsed the shops in the mall, looking for something specific.

To develop spiritual power, he needed a Spiritual Power Potion.

However, like the Genetic Potion which is essential for martial artists, Spiritual Power Potion was also hard to come by. Although it wasn’t as expensive as the Genetic Potion, it wasn’t easy to obtain. Lin Zhen’s 5,500 RMB wasn’t even enough to cover the cost of looking at one.

The official price of a Spiritual Power Potion ranged from 7 to 8 million RMB, while the black market price was at least 5 million RMB. Although it was not as expensive as the essential Genetic Potion for martial artists, Lin Zhen still couldn’t afford it.

So he wanted to buy one at a lower price. In his memory, just before his high school graduation exam, he came across a forum post.

The post’s author was a rich young man who thought his goddess needed a Spiritual Power Potion. He bought one and sent it to her, but she didn’t need it and didn’t accept his goodwill. Feeling shame, the rich young man posted on the forum, auctioning off the 5-million RMB Spiritual Power Potion for 100 RMB to prove his love for the goddess. He even attached a screenshot of the transaction.

People discussed this for days. They called the rich young man a fool, while also feeling envious of whoever was lucky enough to buy the million RMB Spiritual Power Potion for just 100 RMB.

Although unsure if it was true, Lin Zhen wanted to give it a try to see if he had the luck and could seize the opportunity.

His browsing speed was fast as he went back and forth between the shops in the Northern Mall while constantly refreshing forum posts.

He couldn’t remember the exact time the Spiritual Power Potion post would appear, but it was supposed to be today.

On the contrary, some other familiar posts gradually awakened Lin Zhen’s long-sealed memory and allowed him to reintegrate into this era.

“Picture of a golden-crowned red-eyed eagle on the North City Wall! It is as big as a fighter jet! Here’s the proof!”

“Beast King’s minion, the giant palm bear, appears northwest of Oil City in the Lesser Xing’an Range! Martial artists are already on their way to surround it.”

“Tianfeng Martial Arts Hall students bully at the South City market. Where is the Base City’s oversight? Martial artists’ privileges should not override the law.”

“Water monster rampages along the main course of Songhua River, causing bridges to collapse. Who’s to blame?”

One post after another brought back familiar memories, and Lin Zhen smiled, knowing that he was in the right timeline. He was familiar with everything in this era. With these memories, he could build a place for himself in this world.

After browsing for a while, he heard Li Qin calling him for dinner from the living room.

“Lin Zhen, come and eat.”

Lin Zhen put down the computer and entered the living room. His parents had already prepared the meal.

Although simple, this meal was extraordinarily meaningful for Lin Zhen – he could see his parents again. That was the most important thing. The way he carried himself during dinner surprised his parents, making them feel their son had grown up, giving them high hopes for his future.

After dinner, Lin Zhen returned to his room, hoping that the brief dinner break hadn’t caused him to miss an opportunity.

Just as he sat down and refreshed the forum three more times, he saw a post.

“My Ning Goddess! This potion is for you! If you don’t appreciate it, I would rather give it to someone who’s destined to have it. A million in gold is nothing compared to your beautiful smile! ”

Signed by Meteor Rain.

“Fuck! I know who this guy is!”

Others might not know who Meteor Rain was, but Lin Zhen knew very well.

Meteor Rain was his classmate Ouyang Yu!
